"What's wrong with you?"
Zifeng noticed Xia Xiaoyu's surprised expression and her gaze fixed intently on the photo. In that moment, he seemed to sense that something was off.
"I saw these two people last night..."
Xia Xiaoyu said tremulously, then roughly recounted the scene she had dreamed about the previous night to Zifeng.
"It seems this is indeed complicated..."
Zifeng also felt that things were becoming increasingly strange and suspicious.
"Do you believe it?"
After a long pause, Xia Xiaoyu finally looked at Zifeng, murmuring as if to herself.
"Believe what?"
Zifeng asked, confused as he looked at Xia Xiaoyu.
"Next, it will be my turn. That thing wants to kill me..."
Xia Xiaoyu thought that last night was just a dream, but now she understood something: the first one to appear in her dream was the first to die. Following that sequence, the last one was clearly herself...
That thing now wanted to kill her...
However, what left Xia Xiaoyu bewildered was why she hadn't heard that voice at all—not a single sound. Moreover, Lilanling had died several days ago, yet she hadn't heard that woman's voice saying she would come for her in seven days...
Why?
"You need to relax your mindset. Don't stay tense all the time; if you don't find out what's going on, your health will deteriorate too..."
Zifeng tried to comfort her. At this moment, he also felt that things seemed to be spiraling out of control and becoming more chaotic.
"I am not afraid of death; after all, I am already exhausted. I have been tormented every day, and dying would be better. Sooner or later, I will go crazy..."
Xia Xiaoyu spoke as if she were rambling, recounting the events of the past few days. Each incident felt so vivid, and tears began to flow from her eyes.
Indeed, she had reached the peak of her fear. Every day, she endured unimaginable terror, and no one knew what would happen next or what horrifying events awaited her. The situation was becoming increasingly terrifying—yes, it was getting more and more frightening. From the bizarre occurrences that were initially invisible, things gradually escalated into something far more terrifying.
Xia Xiaoyu knew that if this continued, she would eventually lose her mind. Moreover, the situation was far from over; dying would be a relief—at least it would put an end to everything. Dragging this out only made her feel like living was worse than dying...
"Don't be so self-destructive; things haven't reached the point you imagine..."
Zifeng interrupted Xia Xiaoyu's words while smoking.
"You can choose not to be afraid because that filthy thing dares not come after you. But do you know? I'm different; every night I become terrified. I'm afraid of encountering something horrifying at any moment. You can call me weak, but I am scared—I am really scared..."
Xia Xiaoyu cried without regard for her image.
Zifeng watched her and suddenly felt that the girl before him was not as he had imagined. She wasn't just a simple rich second-generation girl; at least she was strong.
"Alright, stop crying..."
Zifeng took out a tissue and handed it to Xia Xiaoyu.
Xia Xiaoyu's shoulders still trembled slightly, and her eyes were still red from crying. She sniffed and looked at Zifeng like Cinderella.
Seeing Xia Xiaoyu like this made Zifeng unable to suppress a smile.
"You're still laughing?"
Xia Xiaoyu said angrily to Zifeng.
"It's quite cute. But be careful lately. Also, get some sunlight during the day, open the dormitory windows, close them at night, and try not to go out. I feel that the Old Dormitory building where you live is quite unusual; you need to be extra cautious..."
Seeing Xia Xiaoyu's expression change, Zifeng added, "Don't worry; with me around, nothing will happen."
He spoke decisively.
"Um..."
Xia Xiaoyu gently nodded.
"Have you seen any suspicious people around the University recently?" Zifeng asked seriously.
"Why are you asking this again?"
Xia Xiaoyu looked at Zifeng in surprise. He had asked this question the other day at Small Grove as well.
"I told you, there's someone with energy similar to mine lurking around the University. It should be like that, and he might also be involved in this matter. I'm afraid if you encounter him, it could be dangerous. Or he might have seen you; you just didn't notice. He's a very special guy because when I went to verify that photo, I sensed that kind of aura, indicating he got here before us. We need to act quickly..."
Zifeng spoke with a hint of bitterness because he knew that if he could sense the guy hiding in the shadows, then that person could sense his presence too. What troubled him the most was the thought that he might run into this guy.
