  “Wenlong? Pei Hu?” Xia Meili called out twice at the door, but there was not even an echo inside the Haunted House; it felt like the sound was swallowed by some monster hiding in the dark.

  She did not want to return to the lovey-dovey Wang Hailong and Dou Menglu, but she wanted to explore the place alone even less.

  Xia Meili stood at the doors for some time before finally pushing the door closest to her open.

  Xia Meili peered inside. It was different from she expected; the room was very clean.

  She stood at the door and called her friends’ names twice. The more she called, the more worried she became.

  She took out her phone to shine some light around, but the light only made her surroundings look darker, and there appeared to be something moving in the corridor behind her.

  Xia Meili entered room 304 and closed the door behind her.

  She was cautious and braver than most girls. With her body against the wall, she looked around the room before taking the first small step. Xia Meili finished examining the room after a few minutes and found nothing weird.

  Xia Meili gripped the phone tightly as she moved to the bedroom.

  She moved slowly, but her heart beat ever faster. When she reached the bedroom room, Xia Meili activated the video recorder on her phone and reached the phone into the room and turned it around.

  After taking a full video, she examined it on the phone. The video was dark, but it was enough to confirm that there was no one hiding in the bedroom.

  She retreated back to the living room, selected a specific angle, squatted down, and aimed the flashlight on her phone at the space underneath the bed.

  Xia Meili relaxed slightly.

  Then Xia Meili wandered into the bedroom. There really were no traps or tricks. There was, however, a light scent of detergent.

  After exiting the bedroom, Xia Meili turned to look at the last available room.

  Xia Meili treated the visit to the Haunted House as some sort of survival game. She was very careful and took deliberate steps. This type of visitor was horrid for Haunted House proprietors because they would come up with all kinds of solutions to undo the traps set up by the Haunted House. When the traps were exposed beforehand, the scary effect would greatly dwindle.

  The layout of Hai Ming Apartments’ toilets was interesting to say the least. The mirror was facing the toilet door, so whether the resident was passing the toilet or entering it, their attention would be pulled to the mirror. It was the same for Xia Meili. Looking at her reflection in the mirror, she felt uneasy.

  She stood at the door and shone her phone on the mirror.

  She held the wall as she entered the toilet. The space inside was small, and soon, she found herself standing before the mirror.

  Xia Meili reached out to touch the mirror, and her tensed feelings relaxed.

  She looked at herself in the mirror, and upon closer inspection, it looked much more normal.

  Xia Meili tried calling Wang Wenlong again.

  She leaned to her side to listen, and right then, a drop of water fell from the ceiling and landed on the edge of the sink. Xia Meili’s focus was fully zeroed in on determining the source of the ringtone, so she did not wonder why water was leaking from the ceiling.

  Another droplet of water fell from the ceiling. This time, it fell on the tip of Xia Meili’s shoes. Before she could react, the third drop fell on her nose, and it slid down her face. Finally, Xia Meili noticed it.

  She frowned and turned her head up. In the partition above her head lay a woman who was completely drenched. Her face that was twisted from pain looked at Xia Meili quietly. A head of black hair fell down her face, and it would soon reach Xia Meili’s eyes!

  Something more viscous than water fell on Xia Meili’s face. She wiped at it and realized it was as red as blood. Her body weakened, and Xia Meili collapsed to the floor with a thud……

  Chen Ge exited the sealed classroom.

  The girl mannequin had disappeared, and Chen Ge rushed toward the entrance. He remembered the warning on the black phone. Once the spirits left the Haunted House, they might go berserk.

  Chen Ge examined the wooden boards at the entrance, and they were unmoved. He sighed in relief.

  He did not even grab the iron mallet and entered the scenario with just a bloodied shirt. He was halfway down the corridor when he heard an ear-splitting female scream coming from the direction of the female dormitory!

  Chen Ge increased his pace and soon saw a woman in hot pants who had lost her heels running his way at full speed.
