"Okay!"
Xia Xiaoyu's heart skipped a beat. After a moment of hesitation, she spoke without any doubt.
"I will seal off that room, but I can't be nearby from the early morning. At least when she arrives, I can't be close because she can sense me. So, you have to face her alone, and you need to delay her. Don't run!" Zifeng said lightly, but the hint of uncertainty in his tone was hard to hide. It seemed that even with all this preparation, he still didn't have much confidence.
"I understand."
Xia Xiaoyu felt even more bitter, but she didn't blame anyone. She knew that both Zifeng and Xu Qian had done their best, and besides, this situation was caused by her in the first place.
"If you're really scared, just run out. The rest is up to me!"
Actually, Zifeng didn't want to say that last sentence. He knew that Xia Xiaoyu would encounter something terrifying tonight, but if she ran away out of fear, tomorrow would be a thousand times worse. Her chances of survival would be even slimmer.
However, when he saw her pitiful eyes, Zifeng couldn't help but say it anyway.
"Can I prepare something first?" Xia Xiaoyu asked Zifeng with a pale face.
"Sure!"
Zifeng nodded in agreement.
Xia Xiaoyu turned her gaze towards Xu Qian and asked, "Can you accompany me home?"
Xu Qian knew that the situation had reached a critical point. She could see the concerns weighing on Xia Xiaoyu's mind. However, in order to ease her worries, she jokingly replied, "Of course! I've been waiting for this opportunity for a long time!"
"Let's go."
A hint of a bitter smile appeared on Xia Xiaoyu's pale face.
"Will being with me hinder your chances of finding a boyfriend in the future?" Xu Qian stood up and continued to speak casually.
"Why do you say that?" Xia Xiaoyu looked at Xu Qian in confusion.
"I'm not bragging, but if other men see me with you, they'll feel inferior. I'm worried it might affect your chances of finding a boyfriend!"
"It doesn't matter!"
"Really? Then what about that artsy guy near your house?"
"He's so effeminate!"
Knowing that the situation was urgent, both Xia Xiaoyu and Xu Qian spoke lightly, hoping to help each other relax a bit.
Xia Xiaoyu felt a heavy weight in her heart. In the past, when faced with terrifying situations, she would hide and avoid them. But this time was different; she had to draw out the dark entity herself. Moreover, from Zifeng's tone, it seemed that even he wasn't very confident.
Tonight, if she couldn't draw it out, things would become even more terrifying. However, if she did manage to bring it forth, there was still no guarantee of success.
Xia Xiaoyu felt a sense of determination. Indeed, this matter had far exceeded her expectations. She had thought that as long as she clarified Xiao Xi's cause of death, everything else would fall into place.
What Xia Xiaoyu hadn't anticipated was that in the end, so many issues would be involved. Tonight would determine everything.
What had once been filled with hopeful expectations now led to an uncertain outcome. Behind Xiao Xi's death lay countless secrets.
Now, they still knew nothing, yet their situation was becoming increasingly dire.
Xia Xiaoyu first went home to gather a few items. After saying goodbye to Xu Qian, she headed back to the University.
In the afternoon, the weather became hot and oppressive. There was no sunlight, but everyone felt weighed down by the atmosphere. The vibrant cherry blossoms appeared to be on the verge of falling, looking lifeless.
Standing in the corridor on the Fifth Floor of her dormitory, Xia Xiaoyu gazed at the sky outside and couldn't help but change her expression. Large dark clouds began to gather and spread across the sky, obscuring its brightness. Although it was only four in the afternoon, everything around her grew dimmer. An oppressive atmosphere enveloped her.
The entire sky looked as black as a pot's bottom. The wind outside swayed the cherry blossom trees unsteadily, hinting at an impending storm.
As the wind grew stronger, Xia Xiaoyu could only retreat into her dormitory. However, it was already quite dark inside. She turned on the light but felt increasingly uneasy in her heart.
