"Is Yu Shuang back?! We should open the door for her!"

"Lu Yao, what do you think, can we open the door?"

Yu Shuang spoke again outside the door, sounding a bit unhappy.

"What are you three doing? I went to wash up and you locked the door, was it intentional?"

"Stop messing around, I'll really get angry if you keep it up."

Yu Shuang was not very brave, getting locked outside in the dark must have dampened her mood.

After all, she had been living with us for three years, we couldn't just watch her get into trouble, and the rules didn't say we couldn't open the door for roommates.

But... I still felt uneasy.

I shouted outside the door, "Yu Shuang, is there anyone else with you? Like someone wearing a hat?"

"What are you talking about so late at night, scaring people, it's just me."

"Go ahead." I nodded.

Zhang Lin held a table lamp in her hand, carefully walked to the door, and opened it a crack.

Yu Shuang rushed in with a wash basin, locked the door behind her, and complained.

"I was just washing my face, and suddenly the power went out, I didn't even rinse off the soap on my face."

Everything seemed normal, it seemed right to open the door for Yu Shuang.

However, just as I relaxed, Yu Shuang's words brought the atmosphere back down to freezing point.

"By the way, who spilled the drink at the dormitory door, all sticky, remember to clean it up tomorrow."

No one drank the drink.

No one spilled anything at the door.

So those sticky messes, could it be?

Horrified, Zheng Xin Yue covered her mouth and dry heaved, obviously thinking of some disgusting liquid.

Both Zhang Lin and I had grim faces, filled with bloody scenes from 'Saw'.

"Lift your foot, let me take a look." Zhang Lin said to Yu Shuang.

Confused, Yu Shuang asked, "Why? Why are you two acting so strange?"

She questioned, but obediently lifted her foot, Zhang Lin and I leaned in, unable to see clearly in the moonlight.

"Did you not hear any announcement while you were in the washroom?"

Yu Shuang opened her mouth in bewilderment, "What announcement? No, I didn't hear anything."

That was strange, was the announcement only audible to those inside the dorm?

I recounted the announcement to Yu Shuang and told her about the girl at the door just now.

"It's late at night, stop making up stories in the dormitory, I'm scared." Zhang Lin impatiently scolded her, "Can't you see Xin Yue is crying, who has the leisure to make up stories for you."

"Then... what do we do, just sit here and wait for death?"

"What else can we do? Do you dare to open the door and go out?"

Yu Shuang shrank back, stopped speaking, and murmured, "Is it real or fake..."

The three of us didn't know what was happening outside, only Yu Shuang had come from outside.

"Yu Shuang, did you really not see anything before you came back?"

She paused, as if trying hard to remember.

"No, the corridor was always just me, there was nothing else."

That was very strange.

The girl in the neighboring dormitory had said that a figure wearing a hat was chasing her, why didn't Yu Shuang see anything?

Also, if that girl had really been murdered at our dormitory door, shouldn't there be a body at the door?

"Lu Yao, I'm scared, can I sleep in your bed tonight?"

Zheng Xin Yue cried until her voice became hoarse, pitifully asking me.

"Sure, come squeeze in my bed."

Although the dormitory bed was single, the two of us could barely fit.

We all returned to bed, unable to sleep.

Even though the weather was hot and humid, tonight felt particularly cold, with occasional drafts on my back.

A draft?

I shivered, my body hair standing on end.

The doors and windows were all locked, where was the draft coming from?

I turned to look at the window next to Zheng Xin Yue's bed, the wind was coming from there.

The curtain was billowing, giving the impression that someone was hiding behind it.

"Who opened the window?"
