Wen Dong: Da Lin, stop talking and let Da Bo finish.
“I really couldn’t get out!” exclaimed Wu Mabo urgently. “I was scared at that moment, so I thought of another way. They say ghosts are afraid of wicked people, so I kept cursing and banging on the handrail aggressively, and then I managed to get out. But I always felt that besides me, there was another set of footsteps behind me. I was quite panicked yesterday, and after coming back, I thought I might have overreacted, perhaps there was nothing wrong. So, I didn’t tell you guys. Who would have thought… I regret it so much now! Tong Xiaosong! If only I had listened to you!”
Tong Xiaosong froze. This had nothing to do with the copper basin?
Wen Dong sighed softly, “Da Bo, you really brought something terrifying back.”
Wu Mabo leaned over the bed rail and looked down, “Tong Xiaosong, you have experience with this. Tell us…”
“Ah! Get back in! Don’t hang like that!” Ke Lin was traumatized, grabbing something nearby and throwing it at Wu Mabo, “If it doesn’t work, just get off the bed!”
Wu Mabo climbed down from the bed and casually pulled over a chair to sit down.
Wen Dong also followed down, leaning against the bedpost, “Tong Xiaosong, tell us. Are we going to end up dead like your previous roommates?”
Tong Xiaosong looked at these three people helplessly. How would he know?
He didn’t even know how those three people died.
“I, I …”
Wen Dong: “Say whatever you want. We didn’t mean to make things difficult for you. We just had no other choice. Besides, you also have experience, don’t you?”
“I don’t know,” Tong Xiaosong sighed, feeling a bit relieved. “They forced me to play a ghost game. Someone touched and kissed me in the darkness. I was so scared that I ran away. Then Zhao Shanyi jumped from upstairs, and the next day, we found Zhu Fan cutting his wrists in the water room. When the police went to the old building, we discovered Cui Jian hanging in the old building. That night, I didn’t even feel the presence of any ghosts…”
“Holy Shit! Are they not human? They even molested you?” Wu Mabo was more concerned about the mistreatment of Tong Xiaosong by those people than how they died. “Damn! They deserved to die! What’s the point of living for people like them!”
Ke Lin agreed, “Right, they deserved it. Even if there were ghosts, those must be good ghosts.”
Thinking about the gruesome scene of their deaths, Tong Xiaosong’s face turned pale. “You can’t say that.”
Wen Dong sighed, “All of that is in the past. The most important thing now is how to deal with the situation in our dormitory.”
The four of them looked at each other, unable to come up with a good solution.

In the puzzled gazes of the others, Ke Lin explained, “She is my friend, and her family has a Taoist shrine. She knows a bit about those things, so I brought her here. Da Bo, talk to her about what happened.”
After introducing themselves, Wu Mabo eagerly recounted the strange incidents that had occurred to him.
The other three supplemented the details.
After hearing the whole story, Tang Yuxin sighed, “You’ve encountered something evil. You have quite the courage; why play such a sinister game? You’ve provoked dirty things. Not apologizing is one thing, but you even dared to curse arrogantly. If it’s not bothering you, who else could it bother?”
Wu Mabo clasped his hands together, bowing on the table, “I was wrong, I was wrong. Miss, please help me. I won’t dare to do it again.”
Tang Yuxin said, “This can be resolved easily. Buy some paper money, incense, and candles. At midnight, go back to the staircase where you were trapped, count the steps again. After being trapped again, burn the paper money, incense, and candles, and sincerely apologize. If the entity is not malevolent, forgives you, then it should be fine.”
Wu Mabo, dumbfounded, asked, “But what if it’s a malevolent spirit?”
Tang Yuxin helplessly said, “If you managed to scare it away from the staircase and it ran out fine, it means it’s not a malevolent spirit. If you’re scared, you can ask your roommates to accompany you. Most likely, there won’t be any issues.”
Wu Mabo sighed in relief, “Thank God. Finally, there’s a solution.”
Tang Yuxin scolded, “I know you boys are fearless and don’t believe in these things, but there are some things you can’t afford not to believe. Please don’t play with such things in the future. Didn’t you learn anything from the three deaths at school recently?”
Upon hearing this, Tong Xiaosong shuddered, although she didn’t mention him directly, he couldn’t shake the feeling of being indirectly implicated.
Wu Mabo chuckled bitterly, “Can there be no cautionary tale? Tong Xiaosong was the roommate of those three people before. He advised me not to play, and it’s not like I didn’t listen. Now, I regret it so much. Fortunately, there’s a solution.”
Tang Yuxin glanced at Tong Xiaosong with surprise and smiled apologetically, “I’m sorry, I didn’t know. I didn’t mean to bring it up. That incident must have left a deep impact on you.”
Tong Xiaosong smiled and pursed his lips, “It’s okay. The school arranged for a psychologist to help me cope with it.”
Tang Yuxin sighed in relief, “That’s good. Anyway, remember, it’s best to stay away from such things in the future. Don’t provoke trouble.”
***
At night, the four of them, carrying paper money and incense, arrived at the staircase of the teaching building.
Since the teaching building had an elevator, the staircase was rarely used, especially in the dead of night when no one was around.
On the second floor, Wu Mabo took a deep breath, “I counted these steps initially.”
Wen Dong said, “Let’s get started then.”
Wu Mabo took the lead, starting to count. In the silent corridor, only Wu Mabo’s low counting and the footsteps of the four people echoed.
Despite being a group of four, they all felt a chill throughout their bodies, and the corridor seemed even more eerie than usual.
Suddenly, Wu Mabo paused and counted the last step, “One extra step, it should be a success.”
To verify their success, the four descended the stairs to exit.
The footsteps were chaotic and rapid, sounding like more than four people.
Tong Xiaosong, sandwiched in the middle, also heard footsteps behind him, seemingly more than one person. He exerted great willpower not to turn around.
Finally, Ke Lin at the front stopped, saying, “It’s the second floor again. We’re trapped on the second floor.”
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, placed the paper money and incense, and lit them at the corner of the stairs.
Wu Mabo earnestly spoke, “If there’s anything unusual, please don’t be upset. I speak without malice, unintentionally offending. I’m sorry, I’m sorry. This paper money and incense are offerings to you. Please don’t follow me. I was ignorant, won’t dare again in the future. Spare me, please, for my sincere repentance…”
As more paper money burned, the smoke in the corridor grew thicker, causing the four to involuntarily cough.
Amidst the coughing, footsteps suddenly mixed in.
Wen Dong’s pupils contracted, “Shh, did you hear that?”
Everyone fell silent, only the faint sound of the burning fire and footsteps descending from above.
The footsteps were peculiar, as if someone had a limp, and they were getting closer.
They even sensed a chilling stare on their backs. The footsteps halted.
Everyone felt it; that thing was on the stairs not far away, watching them.
No one dared to turn around, keeping their heads down, trembling hands burning joss paper, muttering apologies under their breath.
The firelight cast their shadows on the wall, contorted and ghastly.
Tong Xiaosong was extremely anxious, unable to resist stealing glances in that direction even though he dared not look directly.
Perhaps due to excessive nervousness, Tong Xiaosong involuntarily glanced up, and in an instant, his entire body froze.
Amidst the swirling smoke, on the stair railing, there was a blood-soaked, barely recognizable figure that could hardly be considered human. It was a woman with long hair, her face covered in blood, her features blurred, and her two eyeballs staring intensely, hollowly fixated on him.
The appearance of this entity reminded Tong Xiaosong of the tragic death of Zhao Shanyi, who had jumped off the building. It was too similar.
If it weren’t for the fact that the entity in front of him had long hair and was female, he would have suspected it was the ghost of Zhao Shanyi returning.
When the entity noticed Tong Xiaosong looking at it, the corners of its mouth twisted into a sinister smile, and there was a gathering of malevolent resentment in its hollow eyes.
Hanging upside down with its head slightly tilted, it presented an eerie and unsettling sight.
Tong Xiaosong quickly lowered his head, focusing entirely on burning the paper. “No offense, no offense, I’m sorry, I’m sorry…”
No one noticed that, within the thick smoke, there was another shadow concealed on the wall.
As the entity crawled towards the group along the stair railing, it had only reached halfway when the shadow on the wall trembled. Startled, the entity instantly retreated, staring at the shadow on the wall as if facing a formidable enemy.
After a moment, the entity continued to observe the shadow on the wall, slowly retreating until it disappeared entirely.
