She seemed to forget how to think all at once, completely frozen in place, but her raised right foot lacked the courage to step over the threshold.
However, Lin Xi was in such a hurry; something must have happened. How could she just ignore it?
Right, she couldn't be so selfish.
Xia Xiaoyu was just about to cross the threshold when a thought crossed her mind: tonight, Xu Qian's mysterious friend had told her not to go out.
So, did that mean something would happen if she did go out?
Xia Xiaoyu hesitated. She was certain that once she stepped over this threshold, tonight would turn into another bizarre and terrifying night.
Who knew what kind of horrifying things could happen?
But on the other hand, Xia Xiaoyu was also stunned by the thought of Lin Xi. Hearing the voice on the phone, Xia Xiaoyu clearly knew that something must have happened to her.
No matter what happened, she couldn't be so selfish. Lin Xi was still waiting for her; nothing would happen, absolutely nothing would happen.
Gathering all her courage, Xia Xiaoyu finally stepped out of the dormitory door.
The corridor echoed with empty and heavy footsteps, the sound monotonous and lacking any rhythm, as if no one were walking at all.
Having received a premonition, Xia Xiaoyu knew that tonight would not be peaceful.
But she had no choice. Despite her desire for wealth, living in this era, which girl didn't want to live well and find a handsome, safe, and cultured guy?
Especially since they were still college students, they were filled with curiosity and longing for the future and love.
However, she was not selfish; she knew that Lin Xi was likely enduring unimaginable strange events.
She understood that if she went out, she would also encounter bizarre occurrences, but she could not leave Lin Xi unattended. One could have personal desires, but one should not be selfish.
She wanted to find someone in the dormitory to accompany her, but knowing that terrifying things awaited them, she gave up.
After all, whoever was in the dormitory would be scared out of their wits.
Moreover, when faced with such events, calling anyone would be of no use; what was meant to happen would come sooner or later.
Not knowing what was about to happen did not evoke fear at first, but once she realized it would occur, Xia Xiaoyu felt a chill.
At ten past eleven, under the overwhelming fear spreading within her, Xia Xiaoyu passed Small Grove and exited the school gate.
Although this area was not the city center, some small shops and supermarkets were still open, and there were pedestrians walking along the street.
This slightly alleviated the fear in Xia Xiaoyu's heart.
At half past eleven, Xia Xiaoyu arrived at Jingming Park. Inside the park, she could still see vague figures.
Strangely enough, she did not spot Lin Xi anywhere.
This left Xia Xiaoyu puzzled and concerned, prompting her to call Lin Xi.
“Xiao Xi, where are you now?” The other party answered the call, and Xia Xiaoyu quickly asked.
“Jingming Park, Xia Xiaoyu, hurry… I can barely hold on…”
Crying could be heard on the phone. Clearly, Lin Xi was very scared right now.
Jingming Park wasn't large, especially since Xia Xiaoyu was currently at the center of the park; she could almost see the entire park with just a glance.
However, strangely, she still couldn't find Lin Xi's figure?
Lin Xi wasn't in the park?
“I’m in the park, but I don’t see you?”
Xia Xiaoyu asked in surprise; this seemed a bit unusual.
“I’m next to the fountain by the rockery in the park. Can you see me?”
Lin Xi continued to respond.
Hearing Lin Xi's words made Xia Xiaoyu feel a chill run down her spine because she was also next to the fountain by the rockery in the park.
Oh my god, they were both by the rockery fountain, yet they couldn’t see each other?
Xia Xiaoyu looked around again and, after confirming that there was indeed no sign of Lin Xi, began to feel that things were becoming increasingly strange…
"Don't panic, do you see anyone in the park? Find a place where there are more people."
Xia Xiaoyu continued to persuade.
Lin Xi's voice fell silent for a moment before she said in disbelief, "I'm the only one in the entire park, there's no one here. I'm so scared, Xia Xiaoyu, please come quickly!"
No one at all? What’s going on?
Xia Xiaoyu was somewhat taken aback because there were still some people in the park.
She increasingly felt that something was off.
"Just wait for me, I'll take a look."
Xia Xiaoyu hung up the phone and then hurriedly wandered around the park.
But the result made her realize that there was nothing unusual about this place; the only one missing was Lin Xi.
Where could she be?
She said she was at Jingming Park, but there was no sign of her at all!
