As expected, when Xia Xiaoyu turned to look towards the Old Dormitory Building, a chilling sensation spread from behind her. However, she forcibly suppressed the shock in her heart and did not turn back.
The figure ahead became increasingly blurred, prompting Xia Xiaoyu to quicken her pace and move forward with all her strength. Just as she was getting close, at the moment that figure passed the last streetlight again...
Under the faint glow of the streetlight, Xia Xiaoyu saw that figure...
At that moment, an overwhelming cold began to surge towards her, invading her body. The chill rushed up from her feet to the top of her head in an instant, causing Xia Xiaoyu to feel dizzy.
Taking advantage of the streetlight, she saw that the shadow ahead was a woman. It was the same woman who had been run over twice by Xu Qian in the Ghost Barrier, dressed in Qing Dynasty attire.
She was wearing clothing from the Qing Dynasty?
Xia Xiaoyu suddenly understood why she hadn't seen anyone when she first looked around before entering the Small Grove. But upon turning back, she saw a dark figure appear on the path leading into the Small Grove, and it was heading inside.
Moreover, even though it was far away under the first streetlight, Xia Xiaoyu still felt something was off because what was moving above wasn't human; it walked straight and stiffly. Besides not having a shadow, Xia Xiaoyu clearly saw that it had no feet.
It was walking through the floor?
Xia Xiaoyu gasped in shock. At that moment, she suddenly wanted to scream, but fear gripped her. She was afraid that whatever was ahead would come rushing towards her.
The suffocating cold continued to spread until it completely engulfed Xia Xiaoyu's body. She felt as if she had lost all sensation, standing there in a daze. Yet her thoughts were clear; she suddenly wished to faint. Yes, she longed to lose consciousness immediately, even if it meant truly dying. At least then, she wouldn't be afraid and wouldn't have to care about what happened next.
But the rational part of her mind was telling her that she still remained clear-headed, and that she had to make a choice now.
Finally, under the dazed gaze of Xia Xiaoyu, the woman dressed in Qing Dynasty attire disappeared into the darkness, swallowed by it.
Xia Xiaoyu urgently wanted to take her phone out of her bag to seek help from her dorm mates, but after rummaging through it, she remembered that her phone was with the homeroom teacher.
"Let me die..."
In just a moment, Xia Xiaoyu was drenched in sweat, her hair becoming damp. She moved her numb fingers slightly, indicating that what she was experiencing was real while also reminding herself that she could not stay here any longer.
Should she move forward or run back?
Now, Xia Xiaoyu had no extra paths; darkness enveloped her from all sides in the Small Grove. At this moment, she absolutely dared not run into the pitch-black forest, even though it wasn't very large and she could find her way out. Deep down, her instincts rejected getting closer to the darkness.
But now she was almost out of the Small Grove. If she retreated, what terrifying things would she encounter? Yet moving forward terrified her as well; she feared suddenly running into that woman in Qing Dynasty clothing.
However, at this point, she had no other options. Going back would be much longer, while moving forward meant that as long as she didn't encounter that terrifying figure and made it up the stairs, everything would be peaceful. With that thought in mind, Xia Xiaoyu shifted her stiff and numb feet and began to move forward.
With steps that felt as if they were weighed down by a thousand-pound stone, Xia Xiaoyu slowly walked ahead. She was scared; honestly, she wanted to scream or run away, but reason continuously reminded her to maintain her last bit of calm.
If she started running, fear would engulf her, causing her to lose her most basic judgment. Moreover, running forward made Xia Xiaoyu anxious about coming into close contact with that terrifying creature.
Thus, under the endless spread of fear in her heart, Xia Xiaoyu stepped out of the Small Grove one step at a time.
