Entering the dormitory building, I felt a chill. It was September, and the sun was shining outside, but inside the dormitory building, it was cold and damp. Something was off.

In the morning when I left the dormitory, it wasn't like this. I was about to leave the dormitory building when a girl walked up to me, struggling, and pleaded, "Classmate, I twisted my foot. Can you take me to the dormitory? It's right at the end of the first floor, very close."

I hesitated, thinking that according to the dormitory rules, I couldn't enter the dormitory within three hours. But it didn't say anything about not being able to stay at the entrance. So, I agreed to her request and helped her to the dormitory door, letting her go in by herself.

She warmly invited me to come into the dormitory, but I refused.

Just as I was about to leave, she forcefully grabbed my hand, trying to pull me inside while muttering, "Classmate, you're so kind. Come in and sit for a while."

Her voice grew louder and sharper.

I struggled to free myself from her grasp and quickly ran out.

I don't know when it happened, but the noisy dormitory building became eerily quiet. The people in the corridor, who were previously chatting and laughing, stopped their movements and stared at me expressionlessly. Suddenly, they all smiled at me, even the curvature of their lips was the same.

A sense of fear exploded in my heart, and I quickened my pace, wanting to find the exit of the dormitory building as soon as possible. The corridor that was only a few hundred meters long when I came in now seemed endless.

At that moment, a hand firmly grabbed me, and a soft voice said, "Why are you running?"

My mind went blank in an instant. My hand holding the phone trembled slightly as I turned around and saw that it was Zhao Xinyue.

"It's you!" I cried with joy. I thought I was going to meet my end in the dormitory building today.

She looked at me with confusion and asked, "What's wrong with you? Why is your face covered in sweat?"

I told her what had happened, and she looked surprised. Her expression turned serious, and she immediately led me out of the dormitory building. The exit that I couldn't find anywhere suddenly appeared in front of us without any obstacles.

I felt the sunlight outside and took deep breaths of fresh air, as if I had been reborn.
