Xia Xiaoyu heard it clearly, but she couldn't pinpoint where the source was. The crying sound came intermittently, faintly echoing from various corners.
She placed her hand on her chest, feeling her heart racing, and tried to calm herself down.
She lightened her footsteps and moved slowly. However, just as she took a step forward, the crying abruptly stopped!
It was as if the moment Xia Xiaoyu arrived, everything fell silent, not a sound to be heard.
Around her, she could only vaguely make out her surroundings; the dark corners seemed to hide an invisible presence quietly observing Xia Xiaoyu's every move.
Suddenly, a loud bang echoed through the empty night, startling Xia Xiaoyu and making her shiver.
The sound was so loud that it immediately drew her attention to its source.
Was it coming from the Abandoned Old Warehouse next to the Teaching Building?
That was an old structure that had been built long ago; she didn't know how long it had been unused, now filled with discarded tables and chairs.
Xia Xiaoyu trembled all over, a deepening sense of fear beginning to rise within her.
She reassured herself and cautiously approached.
The silence was overwhelming, with not a single extra sound.
As Xia Xiaoyu stepped into the old warehouse, a cold wind rushed towards her.
"Xiaoyu..."
In the corner of the old warehouse, under the faint moonlight, she could see the figure that had entered.
Xiao Xi stood up with tears streaming down her face and threw herself into Xia Xiaoyu's arms, crying uncontrollably.
At that moment, Xia Xiaoyu felt her heart relax. It really was Xiao Xi.
"It's okay, it's okay, don't cry..." Xia Xiaoyu gently stroked Lin Xi's head, trying to comfort her.
"I'm scared, Xiaoyu, I'm scared..."
Lin Xi clung tightly to Xia Xiaoyu, choking on her words.
"It's okay. It's all over now..."
Xia Xiaoyu whispered softly as she held Lin Xi.
"No, that's not it. Xiaoyu, this time I really saw something..." Lin Xi pointed at the broken window of the old warehouse and said to Xia Xiaoyu, "At first, I saw a woman leaning against that window?"
"What..."
Xia Xiaoyu gasped in surprise.
"She's the woman who appeared in the photo. She has long hair, and she said that she would come to find me in seven days!"
Lin Xi spoke in terror, the feeling still lingering in her heart.
Xia Xiaoyu was stunned. Following Lin Xi's finger, she looked over, but all she saw was a broken window with no one there.
If Lin Xi thought she saw a woman in the photo due to a visual illusion, Xia Xiaoyu wouldn't find it strange. After all, it was possible to misinterpret things at night, even if it seemed bizarre.
However, today Lin Xi claimed she saw a woman leaning against the window again.
Seeing it repeatedly, Xia Xiaoyu was certain this was not just a case of visual confusion.
Moreover, she had also encountered something inexplicable—places she had visited in her dreams.
This was definitely not simple.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. I think we should head back quickly..." Xia Xiaoyu said to comfort her.
Lin Xi felt a bit embarrassed, but at this moment, the night was eerily quiet, and everywhere she looked seemed to have someone lurking nearby.
If someone were to stay outside alone for an entire night, it would likely be terrifying. The initial shock was too great; there was really no need to endure such embarrassment by staying out alone.
Lin Xi could still weigh her pride against the fear of spending a night outside.
