Chapter 2 - Dead Person (1/2)

This ghost must be truly awful if it groped a man’s butt.

Su Min nearly fell onto the threshold of the bathroom. He wanted to be as far away from the toilet as possible and forgot to blow out the candle.

After he left, however, the candle was instantly extinguished.

A click was heard from inside the dorm, and in a split second, light flooded into the room. Unable to bear with the brightness, Su Min raised his hand to cover his eyes.

The tip of his nose slightly percolated cold sweat.

As a cannon fodder, he was supposed to die in the bathroom. But, against all odds, he came out alive.

His two roommates were waiting outside.

Out of the three of them, Su Min’s character was the most soft-hearted and had very few desires. As a result, he would always become the target whenever they played paranormal games.

Today, they overheard Please, Jian Xian from a girl in class. Hearing the girl talked piqued their curiosity, and they wanted to play it at once.

Su Min eyed around the room and saw that there were only three people here, including himself. “Where’s the other guy?”

“In the evening, he said he was going to look for his Goddess, so he might be sleeping outside tonight,” Lin Yiri said without much thought. “Did you see your other half?”

That was what they cared most about.

Su Min didn’t answer. Instead, he looked down at the red nightgown clinging to his body and asked, “Why am I wearing a woman’s nightgown?”

The nightgown lining his skin made him look like a drag.

Lin Yiri said in a voice heavy with ridicule, “Because you don’t own any red clothes, and the lingerie store off campus only had this nightgown. Besides this, what can you wear?”

There were no flaws to that reasoning.

The script Su Min received didn’t have a setting for the nightgown. Only when he survived the scene did the movie automatically inserted the data.

Lin Yiri and Zhao Runian praised, “Don’t be scared, you look very good in those clothes. Forget the nightgown and quickly tell us, did you see your other half?”

“I didn’t.” Su Min shook his head.

There was a vague face in the mirror, but that couldn’t even be considered an option.

Moreover, he didn’t want to talk about the embarrassing incident he’d just experienced a few minutes ago. Remembering that stroke made him want to go back and beat a certain someone up.

Besides, even if he were to say it, he reckoned no one would believe him.

His roommates saw him as a person who wouldn’t lie, so in succession, they circled around to their beds, despondent. They didn’t forget to remind, “Since you’re last to go to bed, turn off the lights.”

Su Min, “…”

In the dormitory, there was a rule stating that the last to go up must be the one to turn off the lights.

Thinking of that, Su Min calmed his heart and flipped the switch.

The dormitory was once again plunged into darkness. He could hear his own soft breathing, as well as the rustling that came from his roommates’ beds.

In accordance to his memory, Su Min made his way to bed.

The nightgown was just a nightgown. No one was going to see it anyway.

I didn’t die in the bathroom, so the script must be changed. If this continued, he might survive to the finale. Perhaps, he would even obtain a score high enough to make it into a rerelease.

As he was in a daze, he felt someone blowing into his ear.

In the female dormitory, it was pitch-black.

Since it was summer, the air conditioner was turned on. The moonlight was restricted from peaking into the room, making the dorm inside a shadowy haze.

In the middle of the night, Liu Lili woke up with the urge to use the toilet.

With sleep-heavy eyes, she got out of bed and used the feeble light of her cellphone as a guide to the bathroom.

As soon as she entered, she saw the mirror in her peripheral vision. Because it was in the dead of the night and Liu Lili’s courage was small, she didn’t dare turn her head to the side.

She had yet to turn on the lights when she heard the splashing sound of water. Drip, drip. It seemed to be coming from the shower.

The school supplied curtains to cover the bathtubs. It could be said that the necessaries provided were in very good conditions.

Who took a shower and forgot to turn off the taps?

This wasn’t good; the water bill in the dorm were all handled together. Listening to the constant stream of splashes, she didn’t know how much water was being wasted.

In her hurry, Liu Lili forgot to turn on the lights and directly walked over to pull the curtains apart. She found that the bathtub was nearly overflowing with water, the faucet still running.

This was the sound she’d heard.

Liu Lili reached out to twist the tap, and the water finally stopped.

She bent down to the tub, searching for the plug. She didn’t expect that in the next moment, she would be pushed from behind, and her whole body would fall into the bathtub. Water splashed, unrestrained, in all directions above her head.

Liu Lili scrambled to get up, but a hand held her down.

It pushed hard on her head, submerging her into the water.

Her eyes widened in disbelief, heart trembling with fear. The feeling of suffocation grew stronger and stronger, and with it, the rumbling of chaotic bubbles.

Eventually, two hands rolled to the side, limp.

In the first hour of the new day, bursts of murmurs could be heard, like everyone was talking all at once.

Woken by the noise, Su Min sat up and groggily kneaded his neck.

Inside his head, he heard the cinema’s voice. Its tone was filled with an unusual intimacy as it gave him a hint: [Audience Member Su Min, congratulations for successfully changing your script. Please persist in your unremitting efforts. As a reward for your achievement, you will receive keyword hints. The first hint: bathroom]

It really changed.

Su Min rejoiced with happiness, but in the next moment, he began to feel nervous.

He knew that he had altered something because the script was revealed to him. In the future, he would not have the luxury of that knowledge, so what will really change would be entirely dependent on luck.

And the bathroom hint… What is going to happen in the bathroom?

Underneath, both his roommates were panicking.

While he was in the middle of putting on his shoes, Lin Yiri looked up and said, “Su Min, hurry up and wear clothes! Someone died in school!”

Su Min’s complexion changed.

This was the routine in horror movies. The beginning always started off with the death of a cannon fodder.

He jumped out of bed and didn’t even have time to change clothes when Lin Yiri dragged him and ran out of the dorm room. Along the way, all the boys they’d passed by in the corridors gazed at Su Min’s body.

Who is that beautiful person in the nightgown? Why is she in the men’s dormitory at night?
