"Do any of you want to go to the bathroom? Do any of you want to come with me?"
They were chatting enthusiastically when Zheng Xingyun suddenly asked a question. After chatting about horror stories, he wanted to go to the toilet. This was a killer.
"You can ask the person next to you to go with you."
They didn't really want to go out. It was already early morning and very cold outside. The toilet was at the end of the corridor, so they really didn't want to go out.
Zheng Xingyun's voice sounded a little anxious, and he couldn't help but start to cry.
"She's already asleep. I can't hold it in any longer. Is there anyone who wants to go with me? Please, please."
"I have a feeling. I'll go with you."
"Well, I have the same habit of going to the bathroom before bed. This habit came at an inopportune time today."
Several more people sat up one after another. They actually wanted to go a little bit, but when they thought about the environment and those horror stories kept coming to their minds, they felt they could hold back.
Now that someone has proposed it, and many people want to go, if we don't follow the main force now, when will we go?
Shen Zhizhu thought about it and sat up.
"I'll come too."
It's not that she was very courageous, nor did she really want to go to the toilet, but she felt that one more person meant more strength, and it would definitely not be like Zheng Xingyun standing at the head of her bed, looking at her with a pitiful expression, which made her feel soft-hearted.
"Great, with Shen Zhizhu following me, I feel so safe."
I really don’t know how Zheng Xingyun came to this conclusion. She was actually super scared too.
They took a few mining lamps and worked in groups of two, with the rest following behind. In fact, including Shen Zhizhu, there were only five people in total.
They let Shen Zhizhu walk in the middle, but they were just one person in a row, which gave a sense of protection.
Zheng Xingyun, who was the least courageous, walked in the front.
[I didn’t expect that this classmate Zheng Xingyun, although the order is small, his character is pretty good. ]
The corridor was pitch black at night. If one did not bring a mining lamp, only the moonlight could come in from near the window.
In the area where the mine lights could not reach, it was so dark that it made people feel uneasy. In the place where the vision could not be seen clearly, it seemed that there lived some creatures different from them.
As soon as they get close, something terrible will stretch out from an unnoticed place and quickly drag people into endless darkness.
Zheng Xingyun swallowed his saliva, not knowing whether he was cheering himself up or comforting the people who came with him.
"Don't be afraid, we'll be there soon."
"Okay, let's hurry up and make this a quick decision."
The toilet is located at the very end of the corridor, and you can occasionally hear the sound of flushing, which is especially obvious in the quiet night.
"Go in groups of two. Everyone hurry up and get back quickly. There's no light here."
They came to the restroom, where there were very few toilet stalls, only two relatively clean ones. They were afraid that they would feel uncomfortable if there were other people around, so they waited at the door. Another reason was that it would allow them to avoid smelling some unpleasant odors.
Next came the other two people. Shen Zhizhu was last because the two behind him suddenly couldn't hold it in anymore, probably due to the influence of the environment.
Shen Zhizhu didn't think there was anything wrong with it, so two of them stayed inside while the three of them chatted outside.
"Student Shen Zhizhu, do you have any plans for tomorrow? Do you want to join us?"
Zheng Xingyun invited Shen Zhizhu. She felt that Shen Zhizhu always kept to herself because her other two roommates were not in the same major.
"I used to think you were aloof and didn't like playing with a bunch of stupid students like us, but I feel like you're not arrogant at all. You explain every question in detail. You're obviously a very good person."
"Oh! I see."
Just as Shen Zhizhu was about to interrupt, he heard Zheng Xingyun's tone of sudden enlightenment.
"What do you know?"
"Is it because of Yu Yan'er? Are you afraid that if we get too close to her, she will take action against us? Classmate Shen Zhizhu, you are too kind."
Shen Zhizhu, who was a particularly good person, felt very confused. She didn't know what the other person's thought process was like. To be able to think of this, did she think too highly of him?
"No, I just like a quiet environment. When I'm alone, I'm more efficient and my thoughts are more focused."
She spoke the truth without beating around the bush, interrupting Zheng Xingyun's thoughts in time.
"However, sometimes a lively environment can also make people feel relaxed."
"I found tonight's event very interesting and I enjoyed it very much. I just prefer working. When I'm busy, I habitually work alone, which can improve my efficiency."
She didn't want them to misunderstand her and didn't want to be with them.
"ah!"
“Help!”
Suddenly, two screams were heard from the toilet. Then, before Shen Zhizhu and the others could react, a flickering light flashed out from inside.
The two girls also came out together, and kept muttering "someone, someone" and then quickly passed by them with mining torches in their hands.
You can't be provoked in this situation. The two girls next to Shen Zhizhu didn't understand what was going on and were very scared.
They followed behind, screaming and running back together. The last mining lamp was also taken away by them.
Shen Zhizhu's vision suddenly became dark, the screams became farther and farther away, and she was standing there alone.
[Should I… start running too?]
She stood there stiffly. To be honest, she didn't want to run around like a headless fly when she was almost invisible, as that would only amplify her fear.
But it was impossible for her to stand still completely, as she was a staunch materialist.
[Okay Shen Zhizhu, take one step forward now. The wall is two steps away on the left. Touch it first, then slowly walk back.]
She encouraged herself in her heart, and slowly, she finally took a step forward and successfully touched the wall.
[The urge to urinate came too suddenly.]
She suddenly wanted to go to the toilet. If she went back now, she might have to get up again in the middle of the night. Even if she forced herself to hold it in, she would not be able to sleep well.
Shen Zhizhu gritted his teeth.
"Forget it, we're already here, there's nothing to be afraid of."
Zheng Xingyun was one of the first people to go in. He did not notice anyone inside at that time. During that time, he stayed outside the whole time and no new people went in.
So, leaving aside that unlikely answer, there is only one possibility left, that is, they saw it wrong and scared themselves.
Shen Zhizhu walked in in the dark. Fortunately, the light bulb above her head was emitting a very dim light. Her eyes had already adapted to the darkness, so she could see a rough outline.
