Around six in the evening, the sky outside was slowly turning dark. According to my original plan, I should have arrived at Qu Liang's school by now. However, the bus I took took a detour down a remote road to save time and unfortunately broke down halfway.
This place was desolate, with no signs of civilization nearby, and not a single vehicle passed by. I had no chance of hitching a ride out. The bus driver was busy trying to fix the vehicle, and based on his feedback, the earliest we could reach Qu Liang's school would be midnight.
I took out my phone to call Qu Liang, only to find there was no signal at all; I couldn't make any calls. Shaking my head in frustration, I sighed, "What bad luck! In this godforsaken place, there's no signal at all. It seems I'll have to wait until tomorrow to find Qu Liang."
I put my phone away and returned to the bus, lying back in my seat to sleep.
Meanwhile, Qu Liang, who was alone in her dormitory, was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. After seeing off Song Ji Qiao and the others, she had been trying to call me for help. As time passed and my phone remained unreachable, she eventually gave up on seeking my assistance.
Angrily tossing her phone onto the bed, she crossed her arms and huffed in displeasure, "Hmph! That Jiang Ling! How dare you ignore my calls? Next time I see you, you'll pay for this. If something happens to me this time, I'm breaking up with you. Hmph!"
After venting her frustrations, Qu Liang began preparing for any potential situations that might arise. According to posts on the Campus Forum, many speculated that the person behind those posts was using supernatural means to commit murder.
Ordinary college students were terrified of ghosts; they had never seen one in their lives and knew nothing about them. But Qu Liang was different; she had dealt with Ghostly Beings before and knew how to handle them. Although her cultivation abilities were poor, her family had experts in talisman crafting, so she always carried a large number of talismans with her. Unless she encountered an exceptionally powerful Ghostly Being, she could usually deal with them using her talismans.
"That perverted bastard dares to bully me? If you really send a Ghostly Being my way, just wait and see how I deal with you," Qu Liang said as she pulled a backpack full of Silver Talismans from under her bed. There were at least two or three thousand talismans inside. If each Silver Talisman was worth a thousand yuan, then the talismans in Qu Liang's backpack amounted to two or three million Renminbi.
Qu Liang slung the backpack over her shoulder and grabbed a handful of talismans as she quickly walked to the door of her dormitory. One by one, she began sticking the Silver Talismans onto the door.
After three or four minutes, the door was covered with Silver Talismans; even the walls nearby were adorned with them, leaving no gaps for anything to slip through.
Satisfied with her work, Qu Liang clapped her hands and said to herself proudly, "Haha! I've really done it. Now that I've stuck over two hundred ghost-repelling talismans on the door, those spirits won't be able to rush in here. I'll go stick some on the windows too; I refuse to believe that pervert has any other tricks up his sleeve."
Qu Liang slung her backpack over her shoulder and began to set up talismans in different locations. She spent over an hour sticking them everywhere in the dormitory, even covering the ceiling with talismans using a clothes pole. By the time she finished, two-thirds of the Silver Talismans in her backpack had been used, leaving her with less than a thousand.
Wiping the sweat from her forehead with a nearby towel, Qu Liang opened the pinned post on the Forum and left a new comment: "I am Qu Liang, a freshman. I won’t bow down to you, you perverted coward. If you have the guts, come find me. You’re just a sneaky little creep who hides behind the screen."
Many students were following the situation of Qu Liang and her three friends on the Campus Forum, so when Qu Liang posted her comment, the entire Forum erupted.
The first reply came from a user: "Wow, who is this Qu Liang? She's so bold to stand up like that; I admire her."
"This girl is a bit impulsive; something big is going to happen. Girl, you should run away quickly; don’t stay at school. Your life is more important."
"I know this Qu Liang; she's a super attractive beauty. What a shame."
...
The comments on the Forum were not optimistic about Qu Liang's outcome. Even Song Ji Qiao and her friends called after seeing the comments, worried about Qu Liang's situation. Among them, Qu Liang's counselor kept calling to persuade her to leave school, and some school leaders also began reaching out to her. Annoyed by the constant ringing of her phone, Qu Liang decided to turn it off.
After about ten minutes, the pinned post finally received a reply. The poster shared an image of a ghostly woman in white and wrote: "Heh, this is interesting. It’s been six years, eight months, and twenty-five days since anyone dared to provoke me. Since you want to die so badly, I’ll grant your wish. Remember, this day next year will be your death anniversary."
"Heh, I'm so scared! If you have the ability, come bite me!" Qu Liang confidently replied and even attached an image of herself giving the middle finger. However, the poster did not respond further, and suddenly the entire Campus Forum fell silent.
It was now ten-thirty at night, with only an hour and a half left until midnight. Since the poster had sent out their message, they would undoubtedly try to kill Qu Liang during this time because they always kept their word.
In the next ten minutes, Qu Liang heard loud footsteps coming from neighboring dorms as everyone on her floor left their rooms. Most stood silently at the bottom of the building, looking up at Qu Liang's brightly lit room with fear in their hearts, not wanting to get involved in whatever was happening between her and that pervert.
Qu Liang stood by the window and glanced outside before returning to sit on her bed. In her hand, she held a Silver Talisman, her expression tense as she said, "Hmph, I want to see what tricks you, you perverted creep, have up your sleeve to deal with me."
Time quickly passed, and soon it was eleven o'clock at night. The entire dormitory building was eerily quiet, making one feel uneasy. Qu Liang yawned, feeling a bit drowsy. Just then, she heard clear footsteps coming from outside the door, getting closer and closer to her room.
"Knock knock~~ knock knock~~"
