Standing in this extremely familiar place, Xin Xiaolu suddenly had a sense of temporal dislocation. She shouldn't be Xin Xiaolu, but that vengeful spirit still wandering around the campus, trapped here, unable to remember her own name or why she died, filled with malice and resentment.
Her limbless torso writhed on the white ceramic tiles, her arms broken and dragging a thin layer of skin to one side. Her hair spread out like seaweed in the pool of blood, the bright red liquid seeping into the slightly darkened ground and every crevice between the tiles. The yellowing walls around were splattered with her blood, even reaching the two white fluorescent light tubes on the ceiling.
The yellowed flushing pipeline, the iron-rusted dripping faucet, filled with a foul and murky smell... her place of death.
Xin Xiaolu stood in the empty bathroom, and the shadow under her feet suddenly rippled like a wave.
Xin Yan came to stand outside the toilet and waited. After about ten minutes, he still didn't see Xin Xiaolu come out, and he felt even stranger in his heart. He shouted Xin Xiaolu's name outside, but there was no one answering inside.
He thought, the small road just now looked wrong, was it uncomfortable in the body and fainted inside?
"Hmm——gulps——"
A strange, hoarse shout suddenly came from inside the toilet, as if someone was shouting with something in their mouth.
Xin Yan's expression changed, he couldn't care about anything else anymore, and immediately strode into the bathroom. At a glance, he saw Xin Xiao Lu lying on the white ceramic tile floor, his eyes closed and unconscious.
"Xiao Lu!" Xin Yan came and knelt beside Xin Xiao Lu, lifting her head to check on her condition. Because he was so anxious at the moment, he didn't notice that the surroundings were undergoing some changes, the ceiling and walls around him faintly showing some bloodstains, as if a wet paper towel had seeped out, and behind him, a blurry shadow of flesh and blood slowly emerged.
The shadow raised its broken hand and reached towards the back of his head. As soon as it touched his hair, Xin Xiaolu suddenly opened one eye. Although her eyes were only open for an instant, all the strange things around her instantly disappeared, and everything returned to normal.
Xin Yanlai was unaware of everything, anxiously picked up Xin Xiaolu and ran out, quickly sending her to the hospital. However, the examination did not find anything, and Xin Xiaolu woke up soon.
"Xiaolu, come and take your medicine." Xinyan came over with the medicine and water and put it in front of Xin Xiaolu.
After the doctor's examination, they returned to their rented house. The place they rented was a garden-style community on the top floor of the ninth floor, with an attic and an open-air small balcony. Xin Yanlai changed the view to the brightest and most beautiful one, and chatted with more like-minded people about "The Female Lead and Male Supporting Role", "Popular Online Novels" or discussed their favorite books with more book friends.
