Chapter 1144 - Perspective of the Victims 2 in 1 (1/2)

There was a rather well-built student sitting in the second bed, which was next to the window. He was wearing a basketball top, and the poster of a basketball athlete was pasted on the wall beside his bed.

“Why would I lie to you?” The student in first bed was bare chested. There were two night lights next to his bed, and he wore a pendant with a jade around his neck. “Initially, I also thought that cursed letter was nothing but a joke, so I did not give it much thought. Who would have thought there would be an actual extra person appearing in the room last night?”

Cao Fei, who was in the first bed, pointed at the window next to the second bed. “At the time, the person’s face was pressed against that window. I personally saw him open the balcony door and enter the room. Throughout the whole process, he had his eyes fixed on me.”

“Then, doesn’t that mean he was just standing beside my bed? What the f*ck! Why didn’t you warn me at the time? Some warning would have been helpful!”

“I really wanted to say something, but I realized I could not make any sound from my throat. Do you know the feeling of having a ghost pressing on you, holding you down? It felt just like that for me last night!” Cao Fei kept gesturing with both of his hands.

“Can you describe what that person looks like in more detail?” The student in the third bed removed his glasses and rubbed his eyes. He was very thin and tall. The textbook next to his bed had his name on it—Tian Yuan.

“I also cannot remember it that clearly anymore. I just felt there was someone there. He had been watching me as he slowly approached me,” Cao Fei said as he reached over to switch on the night lights. “Tonight, I am going to sleep with the lights on. Bros, you won’t mind, right?”

“Look at how cowardly you are. If you ask me, this is because you have done too many bad things, and it was your guilty conscience coming to get you.” Tian Yuan picked up the textbook next to him and resumed his study. He was a very hardworking student, but that did not change the fact that he too was a bully. “Speaking of which, who gave you the cursed letter in the first place? Who have you offended lately that wanted to do something like that to you?”

“Oh, it was nothing like that. The letter was given to me by my girlfriend. I saw how scared she was, so I voluntarily took it from her. Who knew the content of the letter would be true?” The bedside lights cast a halo on Cao Fei’s face. Once he reminisced about this incident, he could not stop the cold sweat from forming on his face.

“You are always the first to act like a hero, but now that you have to suffer the consequences, you have dragged all of your buddies down with you. I really do not know what to say other than thank you,” the male student in the basketball tank said sarcastically. “Sigh, when will I get a girlfriend of my own? Are the girls nowadays not into jocks?”

“Brother Zhuang, that is where you are wrong. I stopped the tragedy before it could get to the rest of us because I have already given the letter to Hu Yuan. He is not at the dormitory at the moment, so that ghost should have followed him home already,” Cao Fei said in a hushed tone. “Tomorrow, when he comes back to class, we will try to get some information from him, and we will frighten him even more and try to make him to stay away from the dormitory for the next few days so that the ghost will keep on following him back to his place.”

“What if he insists on coming back here?” Tian Yuan put his pair of glasses back.

“That weakling does not dare fight back. Even if he does fight back, what can he do to us?” It was clear that Cao Fei looked down on Hu Yuan. “The only thing that he has going for him is his sweet older sister.”

“Do you people know what time it is! Why aren’t you sleeping yet! Turn those lights off!” The door of the dormitory was knocked on, and the dormitory manager shouted from outside the door.

The people inside the room quickly moved to oblige. After the dormitory manager left, Cao Fei used the blanket to cover the night lights, and he whispered to the room, “I am not going to sleep tonight. I will keep my phone on and take a picture of the ghost for you to see.”

“I wish you best of luck. If you manage to get the picture, remember to wake us up.” The bedroom became very quiet, and no one was speaking anymore. Cao Fei buried his head under the sheets and started chatting with his girlfriend via text. Young couples at the start of their romance had many topics that they would talk about, and without even realizing it, they had chatted until midnight. Looking at the amount of battery left, Cao Fei prepared to bid his girlfriend good night. The dormitory that they were in did not have a place for them to charge their phones. If they wanted to do so, they would have to wait for the next day when they went to class.

His fingers moved on the screen. Before Cao Fei could send the word ‘good night’, he suddenly heard a weird voice in his ears. It sounded like the room door moving. He immediately yanked back the covers and turned his gaze to the door. The door was closed, and there was nothing out of place about it. He looked around. The inside of the room was intensely quiet, so quiet, in fact, that he could hear the breathing of his other two roommates and the sound of the beating of his heart.

“Brother Zhuang? Brother Yuan? Are you guys asleep?” There was no response. Cao Fei snuck under the covers again. This time, he only allowed his eyes to peek out from underneath. The phone kept vibrating; his girlfriend was sending him new messages. Cao Fei was feeling weirdly frightened. The only person that he could talk to now was his girlfriend.

“Cao Fei? Why have you suddenly stopped talking? Have you fallen asleep? Come and chat some more with me. I am a little bit scared.”

“Xiao Lu, our bedroom suddenly became very quiet. It is so quiet that even the buzzing of the mosquitos has disappeared. This is so strange!”

“Please don’t scare me like that! Have you passed the cursed letter on already?”

“Yes, I gave it to one of my roommates. He is not staying with us tonight.” When Cao Fei typed those letters, he heard another strange noise in his ears. It sounded like the water dripping and falling on the ground because the tap was not shut tightly.

“Then it should be fine. Don’t scare yourself. The curse has already been passed on to another person.”

“Let’s hope so.” After Cao Fei replied with that message, his gaze moved away from the phone screen and toward the window. Just as his eyes moved over there, they froze instantaneously because there was a face looking at him from the balcony!

His eyes blinked, and in that short moment, the face had already moved to stick itself against the glass window. Blood slid down the glass window. The handle that led to the balcony started to turn on its own. Cao Fei grabbed his phone like it was his lifeline. His heart would not stop racing. His limbs were as cold as ice, but the oxygen around him appeared to have ignited.

The balcony door that was locked from the inside was slowly opened. The temperature inside the room dropped drastically. Following the dripping sound, a man wearing a drenched red shirt appeared inside the dormitory room. The closer he got, the more twisted Cao Fei’s expression became, but he found out that his body could not react at all. The blood slid down to the floor, and the stinging stench of blood rushed into his nostrils!

The hair that was slick from water stuck on the man’s face. Only an eye that had no pupil stared at Cao Fei through the gap in between the hair.

Why? I have already sent the cursed letter away! Why have you still appeared!

It felt as if a pair of hands had gripped Cao Fei’s heart. His eyes were widened to its maximum.

Following the sound of water dripping, a hoarse voice came out from behind the curtain of black hair.

“Why do you always bully me?”

Whenever Cao Fei blinked, the person would teleport one inch closer to him.

“Why would you give me that letter?”

The soaked body was standing next to him bed. The eye that was fully white stared closely at Cao Fei.

“Why would you say bad things about my big sister? Why would you not let me lead a peaceful life? Why? Why! What have I done to you! Why? Why!”

His tone was getting more and more maddening. The Red Specter who was drenched leaned close to Cao Fei’s face. The wet black hair lingered on Cao Fei’s face. A death man’s pale face stared deeply into Cao Fei’s eyes.

“Why did you want me dead?”

“You are… Hu… Hu Yuan…” His body was leaning tightly against the headboard, Cao Fei’s body was frozen like ice. His pupils rolled upward; this scene was far beyond the threshold of horror that he could stomach. His body went limp on his bed, and the smell of ammonia later filled up the room.

“When you bully those weaker than you, you are like a horrible ghost, but when you run into an actual ghost, you perform even worse than those bullied by you.” The soaked Red Specter picked up Cao Fei’s phone and looked at the messages on it.

“What are you doing? How come you stopped answering my messages?”

“Are you still worried about the cursed letter? As long as you have passed the letter on to another person, the curse will not come to harm you.”

“Do not worry. The curse will only harm the latest unlucky b*stard. The two of us will be fine.”

Reading these messages, the Red Specters revealed a wicked grin.

…

It was already 1 am. Her roommates were all asleep, but Zhang Lu kept the night lights beside her bed on. She crossed her legs on the table as she applied something on her nails and glanced at the phone screen.

“How come he has not replied?” Zhang Lu’s fingers glided on the phone screen and wrote, “Do not worry. The curse will only harm the latest unlucky b*stard. The two of us will be fine.”
