Early Morning It was past one o'clock. Although it wasn't the depths of winter, stepping out of the dormitory at this hour brought a sudden, bone-chilling cold that made her shiver involuntarily.
The quiet corridor echoed with a series of strange sounds accompanying her footsteps. Xia Xiaoyu deliberately slowed her pace, not only out of fear that Surin might hear her but also because the emptiness of the corridor felt unsettling.
As she descended the stairs, Xia Xiaoyu glanced at the restroom, which was eerily silent—so quiet that it sent a shiver down her spine.
After leaving the dormitory, Xia Xiaoyu spotted a vaguely blurred figure in the night. The cold moonlight filtered through the mottled black clouds, casting a chilling glow.
From Small Grove, Xia Xiaoyu followed Surin as they walked on. The sparse moonlight refracted down through the gaps in the leaves, while the Cherry Blossom Trees lined an endless path on either side.
In addition, a thin layer of mist rose in the Forest, creating an eerie atmosphere.
Surin continued to walk forward in a daze, as if he were someone who couldn't sense anything around him, moving aimlessly and hollowly.
The surroundings were extremely quiet...
Especially the hazy white mist made Xia Xiaoyu unconsciously think of those terrifying scenes from movies.
Moreover, this place held a shadowy significance for her.
There was more to it than that. Although Surin was a bit of a distance away, her silhouette was quite blurry in the night, yet Xia Xiaoyu still sensed something was off.
She walked straight ahead, but there was a lack of the usual human agility, which gave Xia Xiaoyu an odd impression.
It felt as if the figure walking ahead was not a person at all, but merely a Wood post.
That sensation could only be described by something as dull and clumsy as Wood, because her walking seemed strange, her steps taken in a daze.
Moreover, on such a quiet night, there wasn't a sound of movement at all. Even though she was somewhat far away, from this position, Xia Xiaoyu felt confident that Surin, unaware of being followed, wouldn’t intentionally tread lightly.
Yet, she truly made no sound while walking.
Additionally, her manner of walking was peculiar, standing upright like Wood.
It didn’t seem like she was taking steps; it felt more like she was floating...
Deep down, Xia Xiaoyu felt an inexplicable distance from Surin. It wasn’t just her cold demeanor; there was something strange about her.
It always left people feeling puzzled and unable to see clearly, like a basin of murky water. It was difficult to discern what lay buried deep within her heart.
Furthermore, Xia Xiaoyu had a sense that Surin, the girl from their dormitory, was definitely not simple...
As Surin continued her steps, Xia Xiaoyu grew increasingly alarmed; she was heading directly through the Small Grove towards the outside of the University.
As she passed by the Red Cherry Blossom Tree, Xia Xiaoyu couldn't help but take a glance, but fortunately, she didn't see the White-Clad Woman beneath it.
After passing the Teaching Building and walking through the dimly lit area, Surin walked out from the back gate of the University in a daze.
Darkness enveloped the entire world, and in the night, there was not a sound to be heard. It was eerily silent.
Especially under the trees at the University, the streetlights emitted a faint glow that no longer felt warm.
In this terrifyingly quiet night, all Xia Xiaoyu felt was wave after wave of coldness.
Where was she really going?
