"Call back later?"
Gao Ru Xue felt like she had heard it wrong. That was not what the synthesized voice said, but what else could it have said?
After hanging up, Gao Ru Xue looked at her pale face on the screen. It was her own face, but the expression was different from hers.
"She's smiling?"
Gao Ru Xue tossed the phone on the sofa. She stood in the empty room with her hands twisted together.
Time ticked by, and Gao Ru Xue maintained her posture as she stood by the window. She did not dare to go anywhere. Be it the bedroom or the bathroom, they gave her a very bad feeling.
"The ghosts already know where I am. Does that mean that my two roommates who have turned into ghosts will come over soon?"
Outside the window, the sky was covered in dark clouds. It was going to rain soon.
"Normally, my father would be home already at this time."
Holding the fruit knife, Gao Ru Xue pulled back a corner of the curtain and turned to look at the family on the top right.
The face that had been gouged out did not appear. There was only a row of clothes on the balcony.
The mental tension exhausted her. Leaning against the windowsill, Gao Ru Xue looked out at the darkened residential area, and for some reason, her heart started to panic again.
The whole of Xi Xia Hu was dark. Only her room was brightly lit. Due to her fear, she had switched on all the lights in her room.
This feeling was like walking through a dangerous forest with a torch. The light brought her a sense of security, but it also exposed her location.
"It's too obvious!"
Just as Gao Ru Xue was hesitating whether to switch off the light or not, she suddenly saw something flash past the entrance of the residential area.
She stared in that direction, and Gao Ru Xue's heart skipped a beat.
There was a woman with a blurry body standing at the entrance. She looked like her roommate.
"Why is she here?"
Gao Ru Xue was so focused on the entrance that she did not expect the phone on the sofa to suddenly vibrate!
The screen glowed faintly, and the buzzing made her teeth chatter.
Running to the sofa, Gao Ru Xue picked up the phone. It was her roommate calling.
"Should I answer it or not?"
After some hesitation, Gao Ru Xue accepted the call. "Liu Xian?"
"It's already past ten o 'clock. Why haven't you returned to the dormitory yet?" Liu Xianxian's voice came from the phone. "Where have you been?"
"I'm outside. I won't go back to sleep tonight."
"Be careful when you're alone! Recently, our area has been very chaotic. There's a psychopathic murderer who specializes in digging out people's eyes. "Liu Xianxian's voice was a little scary.
"Alright, you don't have to say anymore. I know all of this. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up first. "Gao Ru Xue hung up and ran to the window with her phone.
She looked at the entrance of the neighborhood, but the blurry figure had disappeared.
"Could it be an illusion as well?"
When Gao Ru Xue shifted her gaze to the ground floor of her house, her face turned pale.
She didn't know when the figure had run to the ground floor of her house!
"Did the light attract it?"
Gao Ru Xue hid behind the curtains, feeling cold all over. Just as she was hesitating whether to turn off the lights or not, her phone vibrated again.
He looked down and saw that it was a call from Liu Xianxian.
The two figures were just downstairs. This time, Gao Ru Xue did not dare answer the phone no matter what.
She tossed the phone on the sofa and used the cushion to cover the screen, but the vibration still made her nervous.
The phone rang for about ten seconds before she hung up. Then, Liu Xianxian sent her another message.
"The dormitory manager asked where you are. The school has been very strict lately. You'd better go back to the dormitory. "
Gao Ru Xue did not reply. She switched the phone to silent mode. She had just set it when Liu Xianxian's second message came.
"Xiao Xue, are you in trouble? Do you need me to come and find you? Where are you now? "
The message on the phone looked normal, just a friend worrying about Gao Ru Xue's safety. It did not appear to have any other meaning, but combined with Gao Ru Xue's current situation, the situation was completely different.
At that moment, there was a ghost standing below Gao Ru Xue's building!
With her fingers shaking, Gao Ru Xue switched off the phone. She pulled back the curtains, and the figure was still standing there.
"Has that thing been calling me all this time?"
Her eyes stared at the figure downstairs. Gao Ru Xue wanted to get a better look at the person's face. She adjusted her position, and just as she was about to get a good look, the phone in her palm suddenly lit up again.
"What's going on?"
She picked up the phone, and Liu Xianxian's messages appeared on the screen.
"Where are you? It's very dangerous outside. You need to go back to school! "
"Do you need me to come and find you?"
"Where are you now?"
Gao Ru Xue did not reply. Liu Xianxian sent her more than ten messages before she stopped. Just as Gao Ru Xue thought she had finally made it.
The phone's camera suddenly opened on its own, and it captured Gao Ru Xue and the furniture around her.
"Oh, you're at home! I'm coming to find you now! "
A new message appeared, and Gao Ru Xue's scalp went numb. As she tried to switch off the phone, she looked out the window.
The figure at the bottom of the building had disappeared. It appeared to have entered the stairwell.
Her phone vibrated, and a new message came.
"I'm on the first floor."
Following this message, Gao Ru Xue looked out the window. The third building was reflected on Xi Xia Lake, and the voice-activated lights on the first floor of the building had come on for some reason.
"I'm on the second floor now."
Just as the message was sent, the lights on the second floor also came on. This thing was moving very fast!
"I'm on the third floor!"
"I'm on the fourth floor!"
"I'm on the fifth floor!"
"I'm on the sixth floor!"
The lights all came on. Gao Ru Xue gripped her hair tightly. She looked at the messages that kept appearing on the screen. Her eyes were red, and she was on the verge of a breakdown.
"I'm on the thirteenth floor. I'm in the corridor now. Is your front door not closed properly?"
Footsteps came from the corridor. Something was rapidly approaching!
The noise outside and the messages on the phone finally caused Gao Ru Xue to lose control. She stabbed at the phone repeatedly with the fruit knife until the screen was broken. Then she slammed it on the ground.
The phone cracked, and everything appeared to be over.
The voice-activated lights in the stairwell all went off, and Xi Xia Lake was shrouded in darkness again.
The corridor suddenly became quiet, and there was not a single sound.
"Has it left?"
Gao Ru Xue walked to the phone, and the last message popped up on the cracked phone.
"I'm at your door."
"Bang!"
The knocking suddenly came!
Initially, it was slow, but then the force increased. Gao Ru Xue felt like the whole door was shaking, and it did not sound like a human fist could make a sound.
"The thing is coming; it's just outside the door!"
The lights in the room flickered. Gao Ru Xue's expression twisted, and the deepest fear in her heart was aroused.
She stood next to the window, and her heart raced. There was only fear and terror left in her eyes.
Pulling back the curtain, Gao Ru Xue opened the window. She still had a way to leave this room.
Sitting on the window sill on the thirteenth floor, Gao Ru Xue felt like she was suffocating. Her hands gripped the window frame, and she looked at the ground. All the fear in her heart exploded at that moment.
Her body slowly leaned forward, and just as she was about to let go …
The front door was smashed open, and a man's voice appeared in Gao Ru Xue's ears.
