Xia Xiaoyu suppressed her racing heart and looked back. A trail of bloody footprints led from the entrance all the way to the toilet in Room 3.
That terrifying monster was now inside the toilet of Room 3!
"Jia Ying, run!"
Xia Xiaoyu could no longer afford to be cautious. She grabbed Tang Jiaying's hand and dashed out of the restroom.
The quiet corridor echoed with a series of footsteps, and then the door to Dormitory 514 was forcefully pushed open.
Bang!
Xia Xiaoyu slammed the door shut, gasping for breath, her eyes filled with lingering fear as she looked at Tang Jiaying's face.
Her expression was changing rapidly, clearly shaken as well.
On the fifth floor of the Dormitory Building, only Room 514 was lit. Xia Xiaoyu was terrified, pressing herself tightly against the door, afraid it would be pushed open.
However, nothing strange happened; there was not a single sound outside in the corridor.
The Quartz Clock on the wall ticked steadily, while Xia Xiaoyu continued to breathe heavily.
She did not notice the painting hanging on the wall. The woman in the portrait looked different from before; her lips were slightly curled up.
She was smiling, a wicked and eerie smile.
"Jia Ying, what did you see?"
After a long time, Xia Xiaoyu gradually regained her composure. Seeing Tang Jiaying's stunned expression, she knew that she must have seen something.
"I... I crouched down and saw a pair of bleeding legs... passing by my bathroom door?" Tang Jiaying's voice trembled with fear.
"Hiss..."
Xia Xiaoyu almost gasped in shock.
The bathroom door was not completely closed, allowing a view of the entrance. Moreover, Tang Jiaying was positioned by the window, and with the dim light, she could make out the general outline of the outside.
"Xia Xiaoyu, what should we do?" Tang Jiaying was completely panicked and had lost her composure.
"Let's wait. The others in the dorm should be back soon. It's fine; this might be a bit problematic, so don't mention it to anyone else for now."
Xia Xiaoyu checked the time; it was almost nine o'clock. They should be returning soon.
Of course, not letting Tang Jiaying tell the others was for their own good. After all, even if they did talk about it, it would only leave a shadow of fear.
Xia Xiaoyu thought that once they had enough evidence, she would explain everything to everyone.
After half an hour of anxiety and fear, the people in the dorm finally started to arrive one after another.
The last to come in was Surin. She was a reclusive girl who seemed to rarely speak since coming to university.
However, Xia Xiaoyu always felt something strange about her, as if she knew things that the roommates did not.
In any case, Xia Xiaoyu couldn't quite articulate her feelings about Surin; she certainly had an oddness about her.
Tang Jiaying also seemed a bit down today; perhaps the events they had encountered earlier had drained her enthusiasm for everything.
As time passed, the chatter in the dorm gradually quieted down. Everyone lay in their beds, fiddling with their phones.
Xia Xiaoyu, with a heart full of anxiety, quietly waited for Cao Youfeng to bring surprising news because she had a feeling that this time there would definitely be an important clue.
Indeed, fortune favors the diligent. Just before five o'clock on Tuesday afternoon, Cao Youfeng called.
It was something that would connect the story together.
"Xia Xiaoyu, your phone is ringing?"
In the dormitory, Chen Mumu watched as Xia Xiaoyu's phone rang incessantly on her bed. Then she shouted for Xia Xiaoyu.
"I'm coming!"
Xia Xiaoyu came in from the balcony, wiped her hands, and picked up the phone. She saw the name Cao Youfeng displayed on the screen.
Immediately, thoughts about that matter crossed her mind.
"San Feng, what's up? Is there any news?" Xia Xiaoyu ran to the hallway, looked around, and answered the call impatiently.
"Xia Xiaoyu, I haven't found any news. It's basically still the same as what I said last time!" Cao Youfeng's voice on the other end was as bland as ever.
"No way, Xia Xiaoyu, then why did you call me at this time?" Xia Xiaoyu felt a wave of disappointment wash over her.
"Wait, don't be anxious. Let me tell you something. I heard from Lan Ling's former roommate that during her illness, she kept dreaming and even talked in her sleep?" Cao Youfeng paused for a moment before continuing, "She only said two words?"
"What did she say?" Xia Xiaoyu asked calmly, her brows slightly furrowed.
"Mirror. She kept mumbling 'mirror' while talking in her sleep?" Cao Youfeng hesitated for a long time before finally saying it.
