When Chen Ge ended the call, Gao Ru Xue’s call came in. He San had probably contacted her. “Is it that urgent?”

Chen Ge answered the call, but before he could say anything, Gao Ru Xue’s purposely suppressed voice came through. “I’m not wearing earphones, and my roommate is just outside the corridor, so don’t raise your voice.”

Gao Ru Xue did not sound like she was in a good state—Chen Ge could hear uncertainty and anxiety in her voice. “I just heard from He San that your roommate is possessed?”

“It’s scarier than that. I feel like she has changed into a completely different person.”

“Is it because of change in habit?”

“She acts like normal, but I can feel that it’s not her!” Gao Ru Xue sounded confident. “Listen to me. This is related to legend at our school. There’s a stone statue underneath the old education block whose eyes can bleed. According to legend, as long as you can find it before midnight, you can ask it a question.

“I have two roommates. One of them is Ma Xin, and the other is Liu Xianxian. That night, they went out together.”

“Why did they want to go look for that statue? Just out of curiosity?” Chen Ge interjected with a question.

“Liu Xianxian has fallen in love with a man that she shouldn’t. She has been wondering whether she should get together with him or not. She comes from a single-parent family, so she lacks security. She would fall for anyone who treats her slightly better. We’ve tried to advise her, but she refused to listen.

“She stubbornly thought the man also loves her deeply but cannot be together with her due to multiple reasons. She wanted to have a clear answer, but she was afraid to ask the man, so she thought to ask the statue to see whether the man’s love for her is sincere or not.”

Chen Ge was inexperienced in the field of relationships, so he did not comment. “Then what about the other girl?”

“Ma Xin has a big sister, and she managed to get into Jiujiang’s Medical University five years ago. However, during her second year, she disappeared while she was on the way home and has remained unfounded to this day. She wants to find out about her sister’s location, her whole family do. When she heard about this rumor, she yearned to give it a try.”

Gao Ru Xue was halfway through when another female voice came from the corridor. It sounded like it was rushing her. After she answered, Gao Ru Xue spoke faster into the phone. “The two wanted to find the statue, but they’re both scared, so they dragged me with them.

“We departed last week and entered the old education block’s underground rooms at 11 pm. The place was filled with so many abandoned materials, so it was hard to find a statue. We searched the majority area on the first night but didn’t find anything.

“On the second night, I thought they would give up, but they dragged me with them again. Since we’ve been roommates for so long already, I didn’t have the heart to reject them, so I followed them underground a second time. However, this time, things were different. We didn’t walk too far into the place before I heard something laughing.

“I asked them about it, but both of them said they didn’t hear anything. I had a feeling something was wrong, so I forcibly dragged them out with me. I thought it would end then, but on the third night, they told me they still wanted to go.

“That was the first time I realized something off about them. I warned them if they insisted on doing this, I would report them to the school and dormitory security. Realizing I was serious, they unwillingly went back to bed.

“The real event that sent a chill down my spine happened on the morning of the fourth day. When I opened my eyes, both of my roommates were already awake. They lay in their beds, looking at me, with smiles on their faces.
