College meant more freedom — although for high school students, the degree of freedom was already very high.
However, they could leave the sight of their parents and choose to live in the academy's dormitory with some of their peers. They wouldn't have to listen to their parents' nagging if they returned home late. Furthermore, they would have more time to choose to work, and they would have more economic freedom … Who wouldn't want that?
"I should be happier …" Ailey thought.
She sat on the grass next to the school playground, reading Tagore's book while thinking so — But she didn't seem to feel the so-called good half a semester had passed.
Suddenly, something patted on the top of her head.
Allie turned around subconsciously — she found it was Gloria. This girl — the girl who lived in the same place as her and had been in the same class since high school.
"You're here."
Gloria sat down directly, looking at Allie and said, "People in the club asked me why you were absent again. Allie, if you don't like it, why did you join in the first place? "
Allie said angrily, "Do you think I really like to join this so-called club? Eating lettuce? Oh! My God, what kind of weird brain circuitry does one have to think of such a weird thing? In fact, I don't even know why eating lettuce can be popular on campus … And it's a college campus! Is your life so boring that you have to eat lettuce? "
"I don't like it either." Gloria shrugged.
Allie was stunned. "Weren't you the one who dragged me in?"
Gloria played with her curly hair — Allie knew that she had just curled her wavy hair — and as a victim, she had waited for five hours at the hairdresser.
"Because I saw some boys in this club are good, so I joined." Gloria said with interest, "Besides, don't you feel that finding a boyfriend is what we should do at this stage?"
Allie snorted, "Yes, our parents worked hard to send us here, just to let us fall in love."
Gloria lay down and said, "I just feel that youth without love is too boring. Besides, it's not like I'm not learning. You, don't spend all your time in the classroom, library and dormitory, OK? "
Allie said unhappily, "I'm not you, Miss Gloria. You can attend an all-night party and still get an A in the exam, but if I don't prepare well before the exam, I can only get a B. "
"You're too tense!" Gloria patted the grass beside her and said, "Learn from me. Stop and stretch. You will feel that this world is actually very good."
Ai Li shook her head and said, "I just know that if my grades can't keep up, the scholarship for next semester may be gone."
As she spoke, she hurriedly tidied up the things on the ground and stood up. "I'm going to the library now. Do you want to come?"
Gloria waved her hand.
The moment Ellie turned around, she seemed to have bumped into someone. The Tagore in her hand fell to the ground.
"Sorry, I didn't do it on purpose."
"I'm fine …"
"My, my name is Ryan. This, this is Branham … "
…
…
Blood was still spreading.
Such a weird situation could always hijack people's reaction for a while — Allie didn't react until a while later.
Gloria, who was sitting on the sofa, suddenly jumped up. She didn't even bother to put on her shoes and ran over.
Allie saw Gloria holding Branham's arm at once, and was scared to cry, "What the hell happened … Oh! My God! "
"It must be that weird guy! That's right! " Branham took a deep breath, "The body of Mrs. Maggie's husband must be in this box … God, did we meet a homicidal maniac?"
"Let's go! I don't want to stay here! Branham! "Gloria said quickly.
Suddenly, there was a loud bang.
The door was suddenly closed.
It was so loud that Ellie instinctively turned to look at the door.
"What happened!"
Not only the door, but also the sliding door in the living room and the window in the dining room were all closed at the same time!
Branham suddenly walked to the door, and twisted the handle of the door, making a squeaking sound. But no matter how hard he tried, there was no way to open the door.
Branham forcefully hit the door several times, but still couldn't break open the door of the hut.
Branham suddenly turned his head — his eyes stared at the owner of the house — the young man from the East, "What the hell is going on here? Why is the door suddenly closed? "
Luo Qiu, who was being questioned, opened his mouth slightly.
He frowned slightly, and looked towards the door — Boss Luo suddenly walked to the door, and put his hand on the handle, gently twisting it.
"Why is it like this?" Branham still asked loudly.
Luoqiu then turned around, "Why is the door … locked? But, can you keep your voice down? You'll wake up the little guy who finally fell asleep. "
He pointed at Lena who was still sleeping on the sofa.
"At this time, shouldn't you wake her up?" Branham snorted, and then walked quickly to the sofa.
Looking at the situation, Branham intended to wake up the little girl — But, he suddenly stopped, and stepped back step by step. "Oh my god …"
As bold as he was, he seemed to have become the most timid coward at this moment.
Looking along Branham's line of sight, Allie saw the big suitcase left by Arex!
The big suitcase had fallen into the pool of blood, and then the button on it suddenly opened by itself … It slowly opened a gap, and then just like that, it suddenly stopped moving.
Suddenly.
Something suddenly stretched out from this pitch-black crack … an arm!
An arm covered with blood.
"It, it, it crawled out. Crawl, crawl, crawl … "Len's face was pale, and his trembling lips couldn't say a complete sentence.
After one arm, another arm appeared … It was a human arm … But what was inside it?
It seemed that he or she couldn't completely crawl out from the suitcase, and could only crawl on the ground with both hands. The suitcase moved in the pool of blood, getting closer little by little …
"Ah —!!"
Gloria let out a scream, and ran to the French door between the living room and the terrace. She pulled it crazily, but still couldn't open it.
In a moment of desperation, Gloria suddenly ran to the stairs leading to the upper floor and ran up.
"Gloria!" Branham shouted.
At this moment, the suitcase suddenly rushed up. Allie was stunned, and only felt that her arm was suddenly caught. When she reacted, she was dragged by Len, and also ran up the stairs.
Branham also ran up with him.
