This sentence made my scalp explode.

　　I turned around and silently looked at my roommates.

　　Our dormitory was randomly assigned, and we all had different majors.

　　At the moment, Qin Xiao from the Chinese department was sitting at the table, wearing headphones, watching short videos, and eating her instant noodles as a midnight snack, occasionally bursting into laughter.

　　Meng Lier, the beauty of the chemistry department, was elegantly painting her nails.

　　Wu Lan, the study genius and dormitory leader of the Medical College, was still studying outside and hadn't returned.

　　Everyone here seemed like normal female college students, and our relationship had always been harmonious.

　　In this place...

　　there would be a grave host? I don't know if my expression was too ugly, but Xiaoran quickly sent anotherpop-up.

　　[No matter how good of friends you are with your roommates, you must accept one fact—they all have one person among them who is already dead, with lingering resentment, trying to drag the three of you down.

　　[This process takes one hundred days, and on the hundredth day, the ceremony of sealing the coffin and burying takes place.] I looked at the calendar on the small table, and my neck stiffened.

　　Thepop-up also exploded.

　　[Wait, the school starts on September 1, so tomorrow is the hundredth day?] [A little scared, let's hurry and check.

　　Fortunately, our dorm has windows, phew.] Amidst the discussion, Xiaoran's blood-redpop-up appeared again.

　　[Host, if you really started school on September 1, then tonight is your last chance.

　　[If tonight you don't find that ghost, the other three will die tomorrow.] My hands started to tremble.

　　In thepop-up, some hardcore fans were speaking up for me.

　　[This person named Xiaoran, are you telling ghost stories to seek revenge on society in the middle of the night?] [Even Ruan Ruan's old fans know that she's particularly cowardly and can't even watch horror movies!] [Ruan Ruan, do you want to go out for some fresh air first? If your dorm doesn't have windows, ventilation must be bad, just look how pale you are.] [That's right, Ruan Ruan, go out and take a walk! This Xiaoran said that no one can leave, but as long as you go downstairs for a spin, it'll prove she's talking nonsense.] I picked up my phone and stood up.

　　Indeed, as long as I go downstairs and livestream to everyone that I left, her words will be self-debunked.

　　With my mind made up, I held my phone and started livestreaming as I walked outside.

　　However, just as I passed the doorway, a hand suddenly reached out from behind and grabbed my wrist.

　　That hand was very cold.

　　I was so shocked that I almost screamed, and I turned around abruptly, meeting a pair of eyes hidden behind thick lenses.

　　It was Qin Xiao.

　　She had been engrossed in watching short videos, but when I passed by, she suddenly grabbed my hand.

　　"Ruan Ruan, it's so late," Qin Xiao's eyes blinked without moving away from me, "where are you going?" The lenses reflected the light from the overhead fluorescent lamp, and I couldn't see Qin Xiao's expression clearly.

　　I don't know if it was just my imagination, but suddenly I felt that Qin Xiao seemed unfamiliar compared to usual.

　　I cleared my throat and with effort swallowed my saliva before speaking, "I'm going out for a walk." Qin Xiao frowned, "It's raining so heavily." Was she forbidding me from going out? Could it be that Qin Xiao...

　　is the master of the tomb? As this thought popped into my head, I suddenly realized that my thoughts seemed to be following Xiaoran.

　　However, just as I was thinking about how to break free from Qin Xiao, she voluntarily let go of my hand.

　　She turned around to grab an umbrella and handed it to me, "Take the umbrella and also go pick up Lanjie." I took the umbrella and quickly left the dormitory.

　　I had just thought that Qin Xiao wouldn't let me leave, but she didn't stop me.

　　Could it be...

　　My heart thumped violently as a thought arose.

　　- It's because Wu Lan hasn't come back yet.

　　Yes! According to Xiaoran, the tomb needs three sacrifices, without one it won't work.

　　Wu Lan hasn't come back yet and Qin Xiao doesn't know that I have already discovered something is wrong, so she thinks that I will come back immediately when I go out, and she wants me to bring Wu Lan along.Thinking this, I took out another phone from the pocket of my pajamas - I have two phones, one for live streaming and one for daily use.

　　Now, I quickly sent a message to Wu Lan using my daily phone.

　　[Lan. Sister., don't come back yet!] No one replied, so I called Wu Lan, but she didn't answer.

　　She's probably on her way.

　　Forget it, I should go downstairs first.

　　Maybe I can intercept her on the way back from the study room.

　　In the time it took to contact Wu Lan, I had already traveled through the long corridor and arrived at the entrance of the elevator.

　　However, when I entered the elevator, I suddenly discovered that both elevator screens were black.

　　The elevators were all out of service.

　　A chill ran through my heart as the ominous feeling grew stronger.

　　I suddenly realized that the environment I was in was extremely abnormal.

　　On the way to the elevator, I passed through a long corridor.

　　Although it was almost midnight, there would usually be a lot of activity in the corridor at this time.

　　People would go to wash up, order late-night snacks, exercise with yoga mats, study vocabulary, or discuss group assignments.

　　However, the entire corridor I just walked through was empty.

　　All the dormitory doors were closed, and in the dim light, there was silence.

　　I felt my legs starting to tremble.

　　At this moment, thepop-up of comments from netizens in the phone used for live streaming kept increasing, urging me to go downstairs quickly.

　　But strangely, Xiaoran, who had been typing non-stop and commenting, had disappeared.

　　I swallowed my saliva and looked towards the fire escape door next to the elevator.

　　If I opened the door, there would be stairs.

　　We were on the third floor, and it might only take a minute to rush down.

　　As long as I left the dormitory building, everything would be fine.

　　With my mind made up, I rushed into the stairwell and ran down.

　　I only had one thought in my mind - I had to leave this dormitory, the farther the better.

　　The stairwell was just like the corridor, there was no one.

　　I sprinted down the stairs, quickly descending two floors.

　　Perhaps due to my panic, when I reached the last floor, I stepped on an empty space, and I fell out.

　　The phone slipped from my hand, but I quickly got up and picked it up.

　　Fortunately, the live stream wasn't interrupted.

　　"Alright, I've reached the first floor."

　　"I shouted loudly at my phone, as if I was trying to encourage myself.

　　However, the screen remained silent.

　　It seemed that all the comments from netizens had stopped.

　　After a few seconds, a few comments finally emerged.

　　The content was exactly the same.

　　[Ruan Ruan, turn around and take a look...] My scalp instantly tingled.

　　A sense of something being wrong surged madly in my heart, and I realized - I had already gone down two levels, but this wasn't the first floor.

　　I turned around and immediately felt goosebumps all over my body.

　　The number behind me, clearly still displayed 3.

　　I was still on the third floor.
