"Have you forgotten? You're the one who lost today."
"So you have to come play hide-and-seek with us! You'll be 'it' and you'll be 'it'!"
"No...no! I don't want to!"
"No, that's the punishment for losing."
"Come on, come on, let's play hide-and-seek together, let's play hide-and-seek together..."
But while Gu Xinghe was still astonished that Carol and Rekaya had passed directly through his body.
At that moment, voices began to emanate from room 305 in front of him while he was still in a daze.
Seeing this, Gu Xinghe also entered the dormitory in front of him, only to find that there were only three other people in the room besides him.
After he entered, none of the people present noticed that there was already an extra person in the room.
Meanwhile, Carol and Rekaya were inviting a girl sitting on the bed, shivering, to play hide-and-seek.
Gu Xinghe looked at the girl sitting on the bed—
He noticed that her face and other parts of her body were vaguely shrouded in a mist, making it difficult for him to see her true appearance.
Although the cause and effect of what is happening in front of me are not very clear.
But the scene before him seemed somewhat similar to the hide-and-seek game that Kong Hejing had played when she went missing, as he had learned about it in the live stream.
Or perhaps, this is a girl who arrived at the campus earlier than Kong Hejing, but who has the same experience as her?
If that's the case, then why are Carol and Rekaya appearing in his dream right now?
Is it because his perception in reality has detected something that is being transmitted to him in the form of a dream?
But before Gu Xinghe could figure anything out, the game of hide-and-seek between Carol, Rekaya, and another girl had already begun.
Despite what the group had said beforehand that a girl would be the "ghost".
However, the actual roles seem to be reversed.
Gu Xinghe's perspective now split into two sides—
While he followed Carol and Rekaya, who were hiding, as they wandered around the buildings.
On the other side, he also saw someone who thought he was playing the role of the catcher.
The girl, who couldn't progress in the game unless she took the initiative, huddled together and hid in a corner of the girls' dormitory building.
"Got you?"
Hearing the familiar voice coming from above, the girl, whose face was obscured, looked up in alarm.
"No...no! I'm the 'ghost' who catches people!"
In that critical moment, the girl, her mind racing, used both hands and feet to sit on the ground and retreat backward.
But at this moment, Carol and Lekaya, who seemed to show no empathy, were pressing closer to her.
The women's leather shoes tapped on the dusty ground, producing a crisp echo.
"Of course, so aren't we just following the rules of the game right now..."
However, Carol and Rekaya, who were still talking to the girl sitting on the ground with their heads down, turned their heads at the same time.
Even the dolls in their hands all looked in unison at the place where Gu Xinghe was now.
At the same time, Gu Xinghe also discovered that the effect he had previously been unable to be observed suddenly failed at this moment.
He could even feel Carol and Rekaya making eye contact with him at that moment.
"I've found you."
The voices of the two girls overlapped and echoed in his ears.
In that instant, this dream world shattered like a glass mirror.
"Crack—crack—crack—bang—"
Gu Xinghe woke up from his dream again.
Then, he turned his head somewhat stiffly and saw Carol and Rekaya sitting by his bedside.
At this moment, Gu Xinghe was seen waking up from his sleep.
Carol then placed her right hand on the bed and leaned her whole body closer to him.
In their current position, Carol's body was positioned entirely above Gu Xinghe's body, who was still lying on the bed.
Seeing that Gu Xinghe didn't seem to have fully reacted yet, she simply lay down on his chest.
It was as if I was listening to his heartbeat, which was still accelerating.
"Did you have a nightmare? You look terrible."
The sound that rang out from above his chest could be clearly heard in the quiet dormitory at night.
Even though they were the ones who had been standing in the darkness waiting for some time.
But when Carol touched Gu Xinghe's skin, she realized that their body temperature was still much higher than his.
At this moment, her soothing gestures also warmed his body up a little.
"Would you like to come out with us and see what the campus looks like at night?"
Carol seemed to be comforting him in her own unique way while he was having nightmares.
At this moment, as if she knew what Gu Xinghe was worried about, she added another sentence.
"It's okay, as long as we don't get caught. Besides, everyone's asleep right now."
Upon hearing this, Gu Xinghe simply put on his coat and wandered around the campus with the two of them at night.
The three people who left their dormitory room did not leave the dormitory building.
Led by Carol and Rekaya, Gu Xinghe followed them to the rooftop of the boys' dormitory.
Although the door to the rooftop was locked, the old, dilapidated lock was easily opened with a little effort from the three of them.
On a summer night, the evening breeze wasn't particularly biting, but Gu Xinghe actually felt his restlessness dispelled by the cool night air.
At this moment, using Gu Xinghe's coat that he had spread out on the rooftop, the three of them, not afraid of the cold, lay down on it together.
The stars in the summer night sky always seem brighter, as if one after another, brilliant star trails are spread across the night sky.
Although it was night, the night sky they saw at that moment could only be described as magnificent.
The bright moon hangs in the night sky, adorned with countless stars.
At this moment, they were so close to the stars that it seemed they could easily touch them with just a few outstretched hands.
"Why are you looking for me in the boys' dormitory?"
Gu Xinghe looked up at the starry sky above and asked Carol and Rekaya, who were lying beside him.
"Because you didn't look too well after leaving the library today."
Upon hearing this, the three of them fell silent, leaning close together and drawing warmth from each other in the night.
For the next two days, Carol and Rekaya took Gu Xinghe to stargaze on the dormitory rooftop at night.
And there were no further incidents of injury or death among the ten students.
Meanwhile, the detection pocket watch that Gu Xinghe always carried with him did not show any abnormalities.
However, due to the eerie atmosphere and pollution levels at Dawn Boarding School, the pocket watch remained almost constantly warm.
