Entering the university, Xia Xiaoyu walked slowly down the path, her heart racing a bit. It was almost seven o'clock, and during this time of year when days are short and nights are long, it was already getting dark outside. Her mind was filled with memories of recent events.
At that moment, a piece of glass fell from above.
"Crack..."
The sharp sound echoed in the otherwise quiet environment, making it seem particularly loud. The glass landed right next to Xia Xiaoyu; if it had fallen just a little differently, it could have struck her on the head.
Xia Xiaoyu snapped back to reality, her thoughts becoming clearer. She glanced at the shards of glass scattered on the ground and then looked up at the dormitory building. A piece of glass had fallen from the third floor, but aside from noticing that a pane was missing from the bathroom on that floor, she didn't see anything else.
Her figure trembled slightly as her thoughts cleared. She didn't want to linger in this place any longer, so she took a step toward the dormitory building. However, before she could move further, she heard Tang Jiaying's urgent voice behind her.
"Sister Xiaoyu! Be careful!"
Before Tang Jiaying's words had fully registered, Xia Xiaoyu felt herself being pushed hard. At that moment, another piece of glass fell exactly where she had been standing.
"Crack..."
The sharp sound rang out again as the crystal-like shards scattered everywhere. Xia Xiaoyu stood there in a daze, seemingly forgetting that Tang Jiaying had pushed her.
"Sister Xiaoyu, are you okay?"
Tang Jiaying's face also turned pale, and she glanced at the spot where the glass had fallen earlier before finally speaking to Xia Xiaoyu.
"I'm... I'm fine..."
Xia Xiaoyu looked visibly shaken, her face ashen and extremely unwell.
"What happened?"
Only then did Xia Xiaoyu regain her composure, her heart racing a bit faster, and she spoke to Tang Jiaying with a slightly trembling voice.
"Sister Xiaoyu, did you see it?"
Tang Jiaying's complexion grew even paler as she recalled the earlier scene, feeling an overwhelming fear inside.
"No..." Seeing Tang Jiaying's expression, Xia Xiaoyu felt a jolt in her heart, realizing that she might have seen something again. With wide eyes filled with terror, she asked, "What... what did you start seeing?"
"It was a woman... the same woman from the portrait we hung in the dormitory a few days ago..." Tang Jiaying said, her face filled with immense fear and her voice trembling. "It started on the third floor; I saw her from a distance throwing glass to try to hit you... It was so close. I knew something was wrong, so I ran over, and then she went to the fourth floor, next to the bathroom glass, trying to hit you with glass again."
Tang Jiaying's originally delicate face turned completely white in that instant.
Xia Xiaoyu felt a wave of numbness wash over her. She paused for a moment before regaining her senses and stiffly lifted her heavy neck to look towards the fourth floor. There was a missing piece of glass from the bathroom window, but she didn't see anyone there.
Xia Xiaoyu thought about the terrifying events that were about to unfold but never expected them to come so quickly.
She suddenly understood one thing: something wanted to take action against her...
"Let's go, we’re going upstairs..."
Xia Xiaoyu's voice was filled with terror, but there was also a hint of anger. Since things had already reached this point, it didn't matter if she was going to die anyway. Why should she let someone take action against her? Why should she allow herself to be manipulated? Why should her life be in someone else's hands?
The more Xia Xiaoyu thought about it, the angrier she became. In the end, she charged upstairs with a furious expression. When she reached the fourth floor, she kicked open the bathroom door. Although she felt terrified inside, at that moment, a stubbornness began to emerge within her.
She really wanted to see what it was that had the audacity to threaten her life...
These past few days had been too unfair, causing her to temporarily lose her fear and rationality. However, inside the bathroom, she saw nothing—no one at all...
