The typhoon outside was still howling, and I curled up in bed, feeling afraid.

So I crawled onto the bed next to Song Xin and squeezed in with her.

Luo Mengying began to tell her story.

"There were two sisters. After their parents went on a business trip, they slept together on one bed because they were scared.

"In the middle of the night, the younger sister heard a ticking sound coming from the bathroom, and she hugged her sister in fear. Her sister gently patted her back, and she fell asleep peacefully again.

"But when she woke up the next day, she found her sister hanging upside down in the bathroom, already dead, blood staining the entire bathroom..."

"I know this..." Chen Taotao, who was usually timid, surprisingly took the lead.

"Is the ticking sound the younger sister heard in the middle of the night the blood dripping from her sister?"

Luo Mengying continued, "Exactly, and most importantly, the person the younger sister was holding at night was the real killer!"

Hearing this, I hugged Song Xin in fear.

But Song Xin, who was usually active and bold, remained silent and just reached out her hand to gently pat my back.

I suddenly thought of the story Luo Mengying had just finished telling, and my body stiffened, with goosebumps all over.

"Hahaha, scaredy-cat, did I frighten you?" Song Xin suddenly returned to normal and mocked me.

Only then did I breathe a sigh of relief and come back to my senses.

Next, it was Wu Yuqi's turn to speak.

"My story is so terrifying that even I feel scared. I'll go to the bathroom first so that I won't be afraid to go later."

After Wu Yuqi finished speaking, she rolled off the bed and headed straight for the bathroom without turning on the lights.

After about five minutes, there was no sound coming from the bathroom, but Wu Yuqi still hadn't returned.

"Yuqi, are you okay?" Luo Mengying called out, but no one responded.

"Did any of you hear any sound coming from the bathroom?" Zhang Junhan's voice trembled.

For a while, no one spoke, probably all listening carefully to the sound from the bathroom.

Although the typhoon was raging outside, strangely, I could clearly hear the "tick-tock" sound coming from the bathroom.

My scalp exploded, isn't this the same as Luo Mengying's story?

Song Xin probably thought the same as me, and she shouted towards the bathroom, "Wu Yuqi, stop playing, come back!"

But still, no one responded.

Although we were scared, after discussing it, the five of us decided to go over and take a look together.

After turning on the lights, the feeling of fear diminished a bit.

However, as we got closer to the bathroom, the "tick-tock" sound became clearer.

Song Xin suddenly pushed open the bathroom door, and the sight in front of us made all five of us scream at the same time.

Just like in Luo Mengying's story, Wu Yuqi was tied up by her feet, hanging upside down from the ceiling of the bathroom.

There didn't seem to be any wounds on her body, but blood kept flowing out of her mouth, running from her cheeks, forehead, and reaching the top of her head.

Then it dripped, drop by drop.

Tick-tock, tick-tock.

And on her forehead, there was a piece of paper with blood-written words.

It said: "Punishment for breaking the rules."

I immediately thought of the note posted on the door in the afternoon.

"Do not tell horror stories in the dormitory."

"I, I just told a horror story!" Luo Mengying was stunned for a moment, then ran towards the door as if going crazy, apparently wanting to escape from here.

But when she ran to the door, she suddenly stopped.

I grabbed Song Xin's arm and followed, and saw that there was another note on the door - "Fourteen minutes left until the next punishment."
