"Aren't you Zhang Xiaoxuan?"

"I thought my name was Bai Qi? How could I be Zhang Xiaoxuan?" My heart was pounding with fear, and I urgently asked them. When they heard me say this, they remained silent. Xiao Xiao's eyes dodged mine as she said, "Bai Qi, has long been dead."

How could that be? It was clearly Zhang Xiaoxuan who died, that was the first time I witnessed death with my own eyes, I could vividly remember the path of blood flowing across her young face, her dark hair sticky with blood.

A young and vibrant life taken by a nail, died right in front of me.

My phone "dinged" with incoming messages, interrupting my thoughts.

I opened my phone, black windows popping up constantly, "Do you want to save her?" Even after clicking delete, the windows continued to pop up incessantly, the "dinging" sound becoming annoying.

Yet the three people across from me seemed oblivious to it all, engrossed in drinking their coffee.

Finally, the message changed to, "Do you want to save them?" Who were they referring to? Would Zhang Xiaoxuan be among them? Thinking of her, I clicked "confirm".

Everything before my eyes turned crimson, and when I woke up again, I was still in that familiar dormitory, in that same room.

This time, I seemed to have become Li Qing.

I watched as another me, or the old me, appeared on the opposite bed, looking perplexed yet pretending to be calm as I spoke with Zhang Xiaoxuan.

The phone was still in my hand, and when I opened it, I saw the familiar words written on the screen.

"Survival rule number one: Close your eyes when it's dark."

Previous rules always clearly stated what I should not do, but this hint left me feeling clueless this time.
