Chapter <b>399 </b>The Most Likely Hiding Spot


    <b>Jean </b>instinctively ducked behind the wall, hiding herself. Honestly, she looked way too much like a sneaky little thief right now.


    She didn’t want to spook anyone- or worse, draw a crowd.


    The voices came from two female students walking side by side down the corridor, pointing at a certain ssroom.


    “No way… I heard that ce used to be an old supply room. People say it’s haunted…” One of the girls widened her eyes and hugged her shoulders instinctively.


    “So creepy?”


    The other girl sucked in a sharp breath, shrinking her neck.


    Fear shed across both their faces, and without another word, they bolted downstairs in sync.


    Jean stepped out from behind the wall. <i>Haunted</i>? <i>There </i><i>were </i><i>ghost </i><i>stories about </i><i>this </i>building<i>? </i>


    She turned and looked toward the room they had just been whispering about–the supply room.


    From the outside, it did look a bit more run–down than the other ssrooms.


    And with all the ghost rumors surrounding it…


    That meant Ludwig’s most likely hiding ce had to be here. There was no better spot in the entire arts building to avoid being disturbed.


    Jean quickly walked toward the supply room. She reached the door and turned the handle-


    It was locked.


    She hesitated for a moment, then knocked.


    If Ludwig really was inside, maybe he’d hear it.


    She knocked gently.


    This was the arts building, after all; she didn’t want to make too much noise and draw attention.


    But even after knocking for a while, the door remained silent.


    She stepped back, feeling a little discouraged.


    Her gaze shifted andnded on the windowsill nearby-


    There was a flower pot sitting there.


    It didn’t have flowers or anything/fancy, just a single in sulent.


    Jean stared at it for a few seconds; something about it tugged at her instincts.


    Her eyes widened slightly. Without a second thought, she reached into the thick soil with her fingers.

    <b>She </b><b>moved </b>them <b>around </b>a <b>bit </b>


    <b>Sure </b>enough<b>, </b>she felt something hard and metallic.


    Jean pulled it out decisively


    It was a <b>key</b>. She had guessed right. The key had been hidden in the flower pot!


    From the start, the way that flower pot had been ced there felt totally off.


    <b>It </b>wasn’t pretty, and it wasn’t easy to take care of….


    Her gut told her there might be a spare key hidden in it–to unlock this


    And she’d been right.


    door.


    Jean gripped the key tightly, now more certain than ever that Ludwig was hiding in this supply room.


    She slid the key into the lock and turned it-


    The door opened.


    Jean stepped inside right away and closed the door behind her.


    The room was filled with old, discarded equipment–broken pianos, damaged ster statues, dusty wooden easels…


    Everything inside seemed to be covered with a thick coat of dust.


    The whole ce…


    Looked like the perfect set for a horror movie–some kind of haunted school special. Jean shook her head with a chuckle.


    No wonder there were ghost rumors floating around.


    It did look like a horror movie set.


    Especially those ster statues–at first nce, they were seriously creepy.


    Jean narrowed her eyes and walked straight toward them-


    She stopped in front of the statues, but her gaze wasn’t on them. She was staring past them–at the wall behind.


    Jean blinked, like she had just noticed/something.
