After sending off Cao Youfeng, Xia Xiaoyu was left alone in the entire room, lost in thought.
She couldn't understand why things had escalated to this point.
Moreover, what connection did it have with the deceased?
Pingnan University, Minghua University, Hongying University! Different schools, yet why were there deaths occurring, and the symptoms of the deceased were exactly the same?
And it was all happening on Wednesday?
What was going on with all of this?
"Ha!"
Xia Xiaoyu collapsed weakly onto the sofa. In the empty room, she was the only one left to bear the weight of solitude.
"I won't think about it anymore; I'll deal with it tomorrow!" Xia Xiaoyu muttered to herself.
What is university life for in this country?
1. To fall in love
2. To learn how to date
3. To figure out how to pass the time!
That's right; university students don't experience much difference between school and home; it's just a change of location.
On Monday, Xia Xiaoyu returned to school, sitting idly on her bed, scrolling through her phone's homepage. She didn't want to do anything at all; she felt completely unmotivated.
The only thing she needed to do was wait—wait for Cao Youfeng to uncover some clues so that she would know where to start.
She wanted to escape, but that didn't mean she was weak; everything was just too strange.
She wanted to investigate this matter. First, she always felt that it couldn't just end like this, and she often felt anxious and inexplicably irritable.
She had a premonition that this incident was related to her, and there was no way to avoid it. This feeling was very strong.
She believed that the real horror was just beginning!
Therefore, she couldn't and didn't want to sit back and wait for death. If this matter remained unclear, it would become a lifelong fear in her heart.
However, although the symptoms of the three deceased were the same and very bizarre, the clues left behind were too few.
To get involved in this matter, she needed to obtain a useful piece of information—one that was linked to the entire strange event.
Only then could she ensure that the investigation would not hit a dead end and could follow the clues to find the final answer.
But what kind of clue did she need?
Xia Xiaoyu found herself trapped in a whirlpool, seemingly unable to climb ashore while still thinking about how to break through this enormous vortex.
However, the terrifying and bizarre events she spoke of were happening even faster than she imagined.
At six o'clock in the afternoon, after attending a few classes during the week, Xia Xiaoyu went to attend Li Hongmei's class again today.
Li Hongmei's teaching was still so vivid that by the time class ended, it was already past eight o'clock. Coincidentally, she ran into Tang Jiaying, the lively girl, downstairs.
Tang Jiaying was as cheerful as ever, full of energy.
"Xia Xiaoyu, class is over?"
Even from a distance, she greeted with a smile.
"Yes! Where have you been playing?" Xia Xiaoyu noticed the shopping bag in her hand and couldn't help but ask, "Did you go shopping again?"
"Ha ha, I originally planned to go out for a stroll, but then I saw a beautiful piece of clothing and couldn't resist buying it."
Xia Xiaoyu could only click her tongue. If anyone had the most clothes in the dormitory, it was undoubtedly Tang Jiaying!
A little shopaholic...
The two of them unknowingly walked onto a small path in the grove. Tang Jiaying's expression was quite natural, showing no signs of change, but Xia Xiaoyu felt uneasy all over.
She always sensed something strange around them...
However, her concerns did not lead to anything terrifying. Just as they were about to exit the grove, Tang Jiaying suddenly stopped.
Her gaze was fixed on the Old Dormitory building. More specifically, she was looking at the fifth floor, dormitory 514.
Xia Xiaoyu was also somewhat taken aback and followed her gaze, but she couldn't see anything at all.
"Xia Xiaoyu, do you see it?"
Tang Jiaying's voice was not filled with fear; on the contrary, Xia Xiaoyu felt a bit of excitement.
[There’s one more chapter, probably around eight o'clock... Also, Xiao Fan updates relatively slowly. Everyone can check out another story by Xiao Fan's author friend, written by a girl, titled "The Azure Curse." It's really good and written by a caring author. Worth a read.]
