The nerves were always tense, never daring to relax.
The screams and cries downstairs gradually subsided, and Zheng Xinyue beside me also calmed down.
Perhaps as long as we get through tonight, everything will return to normal.
I had a bizarre dream with people wearing hats and spider-like humanoid monsters.
When I woke up again, it was already getting light outside.
I instinctively looked out the window, not knowing who had closed it.
Could it all be just a dream?
Zheng Xinyue beside me moved slightly.
The horn sounded.
"Dear students, welcome back to your familiar campus. Below is the latest school rules and regulations. Please abide by the following rules. Violators will bear the consequences."
...
This time, in addition to repeating last night's rules, several new ones were added immediately.
I took out my phone and opened the voice recording to text function.
【During the day, you can leave the dormitory for free activities, but you must return to the dormitory before dark.】
【Stay away from people wearing black masks. If you happen to encounter them, try to ignore them.】
【Strictly follow the bell for class changes, do not be late or leave early.】
【The school is easy to get lost in. If you can't find the classroom, remember to blindfold yourself and walk ten meters forward.】
【There is no seventh floor in the experimental teaching building.】
【Do not anger the teachers. If the teachers get angry, the consequences will be severe.】
【Finally, there is no braised pork in the cafeteria.】
Zi... zi... zi...
The signal was disrupted again, and the horn seemed to struggle a few more times, but didn't say a word.
I sat up from the bed, and others gradually stirred.
Yu Shuang had heavy dark circles under her eyes, as if she hadn't slept all night.
Anyway, daytime always feels more reassuring than nighttime. I boldly walked to the window.
I opened the curtains and pushed the window.
No movement.
"There's nothing outside, that thing is gone."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhang Lin bit her pale lips, "Luo Yao, did you see what that thing looked like?"
I nodded.
"What on earth is that..."
Zheng Xinyue has hypoglycemia. She took out a piece of candy from her pocket and asked us cautiously, "Can't say for sure, but that thing doesn't look human."
Everyone's faces turned grim.
"Let's go, it's said we can freely move during the day, just come back before dark."
Zhang Lin opened the dormitory door.
There were several people in the corridor holding washbasins and toothbrushes preparing to wash up, and some had just come back with breakfast.
If it weren't for that eerie broadcast, it would have seemed like nothing had happened.
I instinctively looked down at the door, but there were no flesh and blood or bloodstains we imagined on the floor.
I turned to Yu Shuang.
"Yu Shuang, let me see the soles of your shoes again."
She raised her foot in confusion. The soles of her furry slippers were black, and nothing was seen last night.
But now, in broad daylight, we could see clearly.
Yu Shuang's soles were indeed stained with something, now dried, but still visible, the black-red color covering the entire sole.
Last night, the punished girl who knocked on the dormitory door must have been injured, even... dead.
And someone cleaned up the bloodstains.
