However, there are still many things to face now. According to what Zifeng said, Xia Xiaoyu did not dare to delay too long. Moreover, since Zifeng spoke so seriously, Xia Xiaoyu understood that this matter was not as simple as it seemed. Therefore, she needed to make the most of her time.
Originally, she had gotten herself into this situation, and now it was time to put an end to it...
She reminded herself of this, and suddenly felt much lighter. After encountering so many events, when faced with the reality, she found that she had some capacity to endure.
Outside the campus stood the Ancient Tower, a very secluded place. The surroundings were desolate and completely shrouded in darkness. The night was dim and murky, only allowing her to see objects that were very close.
The cold wind at midnight pierced through her bones, enveloping her body as she walked several hundred meters in the opposite direction of where she used to dine with Xu Qian.
Next to the road stood the lonely Ancient Tower, quietly towering in the midnight hour, eerie and sinister.
Dense weeds surrounded it, and there was nothing else around—only silence enveloping the entire area.
On the desolate road, Xia Xiaoyu gazed at the dark building emanating a terrifying and suppressed aura from within the thick grass. Waves of chilling and strange energy continuously leaked out from the Ancient Tower.
Xia Xiaoyu felt her heart racing faster and faster, a layer of fine cold sweat forming on the back of her hand.
After being dazed for a moment, she made up her mind and stepped off the road, following a narrow path that spread out from the weeds toward the Ancient Tower.
The pitch-black and eerie Ancient Tower exuded waves of unsettling and sinister energy. As Xia Xiaoyu reached the entrance, she felt her heartbeat quickening even more.
It's okay, it's okay...
She reminded herself, continuously comforting her heart. As she took deep breaths to suppress the fear within, her footsteps led her into the Ancient Tower.
After a brief moment, her eyes adjusted to the darkness inside the Ancient Tower. Although it was still quite blurry, Xia Xiaoyu could roughly make out the surroundings.
It looked very old, like a building that had been abandoned for a long time. Many areas inside were faded, indicating that no one had been here for quite a while...
Xia Xiaoyu wanted to leave immediately, but a thread of rationality in her mind told her that she had to endure tonight. She couldn't let the fear in her mind consume her, so Xia Xiaoyu headed straight up to the third floor.
The Staircase Entrance gave her a feeling reminiscent of when she was at the Bell Tower, but Xia Xiaoyu walked quickly and did not stop at the Staircase Entrance. She knew she couldn't stop because she was afraid.
The pale, cold moonlight filtered through the thick black clouds, casting a shimmering light with a hint of chill.
On the third floor, Xia Xiaoyu instinctively shivered. The height allowed the midnight cold wind to whip against her body more fiercely, penetrating deep within and sending chills throughout her.
Tap tap tap...
Footsteps echoed in the ethereal corridor of midnight, as if stepping on her own heartbeat, making Xia Xiaoyu feel breathless. Her breathing unconsciously quickened, and the sense of fear in her heart intensified.
Before long, Xia Xiaoyu found Room 5. It was an empty room with almost nothing inside—just a few discarded chairs and a bed that emitted a cold aura in the night.
The night was silent...
Like electricity, there is not a glimmer of light!
Like thunder, there is not a sound to be heard!
Like fire, yet there is not a trace of warmth!
It feels like a bucket of ice water has been poured over Xia Xiaoyu, leaving her unable to speak, overwhelmed by a fear that comes from the depths of her soul.
