"Wait......"

The young man named Ye's pupils suddenly shrank, and before he could finish his words, the sharp dagger had already "pierced" his forehead.

The next moment, the young man lowered his head, and he seemed to have fainted, and there was no response at all.

But in fact, when the True Ancestor pulled out the knife, there was no wound on the forehead of the young man surnamed Ye.

After throwing the young man to the ground, a thin mist also wrapped around the knife in the True Ancestor's hand.

The True Ancestor stretched out his hand and gently wiped the mist, the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised.

"I see, so that's how it happened. That's very interesting. Oh, and we still have to deal with the killer..."

Li Xi wrapped the coat he had been carrying all the way around in his arms, called a taxi with his cell phone, and walked out through the crowd.

The wind outside was even stronger, which made her allergic rhinitis, which had not been cured for a long time, worse.

While waiting for the bus, she took out some tissue and wiped her nose.

But there was no trash can at the waiting area, so she had to wrap it in a new one and hold it in her hand.

Then she really held it all the way until she got to school and found a trash can before throwing it away.

A puff of white air was exhaled.

The old dormitory building is very quiet. Today is the first day of school and not many people have come yet.

I opened the dormitory door and found it quiet and dim.

nobody.

Li Xi turned on the light and walked in while sending a message to his roommate Yi Chun.

"I'm at the dorm!"

"/Cute//Cute/"

She pushed her luggage into a corner and slumped down in a chair.

The long journey made her extremely tired, not only physically but also mentally.

When it got dark, she got up again to do the cleaning.

It seems that no one is coming back today, but the cleaning is still necessary, after all, I have to live here.

Then comes the tedious and complicated engineering.

She took down the bedding, and after leaving it there for the holiday, she washed and dried it.

During her free time, she mopped the floor, cleaned the sink, handled water that had not been used for a long time, and checked the circuits.

Take out the items in the suitcase one by one and put them away.

The wardrobe prompts that the laundry is finished halfway through, then the washed items are taken out for drying and the hot-dried items are taken back to cool.

By the time she had put away her things and was ready to make out the bedding, it was already past ten o'clock.

But she hadn't eaten yet, and her last meal was even the simple airplane meal she had in the morning.

While waiting for the takeaway, she packed the quilt and pillowcases, and finished the rest after she finished her meal.

At 11:27 pm, Li Xi opened the memo on his mobile phone.

She entered the items she needed to buy and the things she needed to do one by one, quickly washed herself up, and finally went to bed before twelve o'clock.

At eleven fifty-six she began to prepare for what she would face alone.

Opening the anonymous social software she used to record her strange experiences, she saw that there was finally an irrelevant reply to her last message.

Li Xi bit her nails and turned on the light above the bed to the highest setting.

Eleven fifty-nine.

Twelve o'clock sharp.

Now is the deepest time.

Li Xi huddled at the head of the bed with her back against the wall. Although she had put up thick wallpaper, the cold still seeped into her bones through the wall in the early spring in the north.

Twelve one.

She was just about to breathe a sigh of relief when her sharp ears caught something.

That's the sound of footsteps.

An extremely dragging, heavy sound of footsteps, like walking through a sticky swamp, with long intervals between each step, giving a damp feeling.

Li Xi held his chest and dared not speak.

She had her finger on the reply button, ready to start recording everything that was happening right now.

Her dormitory was the westernmost one, but it was in the shade and received little sunlight all year round.

Now she heard the sound coming from the east, passing through the narrow corridor of the school dormitory, and then stopping at the door of her dormitory.

She was so scared that she didn't dare to breathe, and just hoped that it was the sound of people from the dormitory opposite returning home in the middle of the night.

then.

“Squeak—squeak—”

She heard scratching at the door.

"So, you think you're crazy?"

When the doctor heard the girl say this, he couldn't help but distort his face.

Two minutes ago, he called the next patient, who would also be the last one of the day.

A young girl came in. She was dressed a little too maturely, had a calm look in her eyes, and had slightly curly hair that fell below her shoulders.

You could tell she was a little nervous, so she said hello to him a little stiffly before sitting down in front of him.

The girl pressed her bag under her hands, crowding it with her umbrella on her knees.

"Doctor, I feel like I'm going crazy."

He glanced up at his computer and confirmed her name.

Li Xi.

"What are the symptoms? Do you think you're crazy?"

It was a strange aroma.

Rich, thick, slightly sweet complex aroma.

She walked up the stairs.

Click--click--

The heels of my shoes made a crisp sound when they hit the steps.

The dormitory stairwell was wide and empty, with no one in sight.

The green light from the emergency exit illuminates the entire space from the corner, making it glow slightly fluorescent.

So hungry...

The aroma wafted down from above, whetting her appetite.

Looking along the mottled wooden handrail, the small window at the corner was a faint white.

What's the time now?

She didn't have time to think.

Hunger urged her to move upward.

It was a fragrance she had never felt before, but she could imagine the feeling of the broth in her mouth.

It should be sticky and slightly sweet, giving people a satisfying warmth.

Click--click--

She walked up the stairs.

Without floor numbers, she walked up tirelessly.

Between each step, she tried to identify the composition of the aroma.

Red dates, wolfberries, astragalus, green onions, cooking wine...

It was a stew recipe she missed.

And the smell of unfamiliar meat.

Human flesh.

This elective class popped into her mind, and she chose it without any hesitation.

I'm so hungry...anyone is fine...

She followed the endless spiral upwards.

"Miss............"

"...Miss......"

"......Small......"

"sister!"

Li Xi woke up with a start.

Her roommate Yi Chun stood under her bed and called her through the curtain.

"Thank you."

She drew aside the bed curtain and thanked Yichun.

Yichun was a little surprised.

"Sister, are you in the dormitory?"

"Were you looking for me just now?"

"Yes, I saw the bed curtains were drawn, and I thought you should be there, so I called out. Sister, are you okay?"

"It's okay, I just can't wake up again. Luckily you called me."

"Ah...I see. I'm glad you're okay, sis."

Li Xi held her forehead and sat up. The quilt slid down and was caught by her and wrapped around her body.

A little cold.

She pressed the switch on the wall and turned on the simple recessed light.

The feeling of light made her feel better. She hugged her legs and sat on the bed until she was fully awake, then she took out her cell phone from the pillow.

4.4. 4.44 p.m.

This is such a lucky time.

She remembered that she came back to sleep because she felt unwell after the first class in the morning. Calculating the time, she had slept for more than six hours.

Fortunately, this is the only class today.

After changing her clothes and getting out of bed, she felt slightly dizzy the moment she landed.

Maybe I've been too tired recently.

She pinched the back of her neck. Cervical spondylosis was a gift from the college entrance examination. It left her with permanent damage to the nerves in her right hand and dizziness.

Pushing herself onto the table, she slumped over with her eyes closed, waiting for the dizziness to pass.

The fragrance in the dream lingered at the tip of her nose, making her feel like she was really smelling that creepy fragrance.

Fortunately, the addictive smell in the dream did not stimulate her appetite when she was awake, otherwise she would definitely feel sick.

No, she felt sick now.

But what she didn't notice was the existence that was always hiding in her shadow.

That deep red existence
