Daylight broke.
In dormitory building number 17, most of the girls gradually got up.
I slept so well last night!
I haven't slept this well in ages!
Yes, I also slept soundly until dawn!
Did you hear ghostly screams last night?
It seems not!
Where did you hear the knocking at the door in the middle of the night?
No, not at all!
I don't have any either. Could it be that the evil spirit has already left?
I heard the school hired a Taoist priest to perform a ritual, so the evil spirit may have been dealt with!
That's great! I was so scared these past few weeks, I haven't slept well for two weeks!
...
…
Tongcheng University Clinic.
Zeng Jingxue sat up abruptly from her hospital bed. A doctor in a white coat was sitting sleepily at a desk not far from the bed.
The school doctor stayed with Zeng Jingxue all night.
"You're awake," the doctor in the white coat said expressionlessly.
Zeng Jingxue looked at the doctor in the white coat and the unfamiliar room with confusion, her mind a complete mess.
What happened last night?
Why am I here?
Where is this?
The three soul-searching questions came out of Zeng Jingxue's mouth.
After the possession was lifted and she rested overnight, her complexion was much better than yesterday.
"This is the school clinic!"
The doctor took a sip of hot water and slowly stood up.
"You were unconscious last night and a boy brought you here. Luckily, you're alright!"
"You were brought here by a boy?"
After hearing what the school doctor said, Zeng Jingxue was even more confused!
She tried to recall what happened last night, but her head was throbbing and she couldn't remember anything for the moment.
She remembered sleeping in her dorm last night, so how did she end up unconscious?
Furthermore, even if she was unconscious, shouldn't her roommate have taken her to the infirmary? Why did the school doctor say that a boy took her to the infirmary?
Zeng Jingxue looked puzzled.
Her memory was a bit confused. After thinking for a while, some blurry images gradually emerged in her mind.
It was a pitch-black rooftop, with a black cat with scarlet eyes! A young man with an indistinct face, and ghostly figures all around the rooftop!
...
Ah, what kind of memories are these!
It looks just like a scene from a movie!
Zeng Jingxue shook her head and patted her forehead, wondering why these strange images were appearing in her mind.
The more she thought about it, the more her head ached, so she had to stop for the time being.
The doctor walked up to Zeng Jingxue and examined her eyes and body seriously and carefully. He then placed a stethoscope on her chest and listened to her heartbeat for a while.
He asked expressionlessly, "Have you ever suddenly fainted before?"
Zeng Jingxue: "No!"
"Is there any family history of hereditary diseases?"
"No, not either."
Then, the school doctor paused for a moment, and said, "Your vital signs are normal!"
The medical examination revealed nothing wrong, so you can leave.
\"oh!\"
Zeng Jingxue slowly stood up.
"By the way, doctor, do you know the name of the boy who brought me to the infirmary?"
"I don't know, he didn't say. He just left you in the infirmary and left!"
"What does he look like?"
"Tall, short hair, kind of handsome!"
Perhaps because of the doctor's words, Zeng Jingxue recalled a scene.
On the dark rooftop, a boy suddenly jumped out and pulled her back from the edge!
Strange, how did I end up on the rooftop? It looks like I'm about to jump?
Zeng Jingxue muttered to herself in a low voice, a wave of fear washing over her.
Who exactly is that boy?
In my memory, the boy's face was blurry, but it felt like he was someone I knew!
Zeng Jingxue closed her eyes and continued to try to recall the scene.
Her fragmented memories, coupled with her recent recovery from a coma, caused her head to throb with pain whenever she thought about it. After a while, her memories gradually became clearer.
"How could it be him?!"
Zeng Jingxue was somewhat surprised, but more than that, she couldn't understand it!
Now her memory is even more confused.
Why are these strange and terrifying memories appearing in her mind?
Could he be possessed by a ghost?
Then, she remembered something and found a photo of a school basketball game on her phone, which she handed to the doctor.
"Hello, doctor, is the boy who brought me to the infirmary his?"
Zeng Jingxue asked cautiously.
The doctor examined the photo carefully, nodded, and said, "That's him!"
"Is he your classmate?"
The doctor said casually.
Zeng Jingxue nodded, then shook her head.
After confirming that the boy who brought her to the infirmary was Zhang Yuan, Zeng Jingxue returned to her dormitory.
Just as she stepped out of the infirmary, the school doctor called her back and advised, "Young lady, although I haven't found anything wrong here, just to be on the safe side, you should still go to the hospital for another checkup."
"Okay, thank you, doctor."
After finishing her sentence, Zeng Jingxue left the school clinic with mixed feelings.
She was still thinking about what happened last night on the way.
The doctor's words confirmed that Zhang Yuan brought her to the infirmary, but why would Zhang Yuan bring her to the infirmary?
And what's with the strange images popping up in my head?
What exactly happened last night?!
A series of mysteries lingered in Zeng Jingxue's mind.
~~
Outside, the sun was shining brightly, which made me feel a little better.
Zeng Jingxue felt a heaviness in the pocket of her coat. She touched it and found her phone inside, so she took it out.
She wanted to ask her roommate if she knew what had happened last night.
After unlocking her phone screen, Zeng Jingxue saw several missed calls and messages, from her roommates, her class monitor, and even her counselor!
Zeng Jingxue habitually silences her phone before going to bed, and since she had been unconscious all night, she was unaware that someone had called her.
It seems that her roommates and counselor were extremely worried during her period of unconsciousness.
Zeng Jingxue quickly called them back.
She first called her counselor.
"Zeng Jingxue, where did you go last night? Why didn't you answer your phone?"
As soon as the call connected, I heard my counselor, Zhang, asking anxiously.
"I'm sorry, Teacher Zhang, I fainted last night and was taken to the infirmary. I just woke up."
"What did the doctor say? Is everything alright?"
"Yeah, it's nothing."
...
After briefly explaining the situation to her counselor, Zeng Jingxue hung up the phone and then called her roommate and class monitor back.
"Jingxue, where are you? We're so worried! We thought something had happened to you!"
"That's what Chen Li said anxiously on the other end of the phone."
"Lily, I'm fine now. I don't know what happened last night, I passed out and was taken to the infirmary, so I haven't seen your calls."
I'm so sorry!
"I'm so glad you're okay. I thought I'd never see you again. You know, last night you were possessed by something evil. You were acting crazy, it was so scary! The three of us roommates were terrified!"
Chen Li said, crying.
\"ah?!\"
"Am I possessed?"
Zeng Jingxue was stunned for a moment.
Could it be because the school has been haunted lately, and I've really been possessed by something unclean?
If that's the case, then those strange memories from last night seem to make sense!
Hearing this, Zeng Jingxue felt a chill run down her spine. She looked around and saw that the sun was shining brightly and people were coming and going in the school, which made her feel a little better.
"Jingxue, why aren't you saying anything?"
"Oh, I'm fine now. I just came from the infirmary and am on my way back. Don't worry!"
"Then come back quickly, it's so good to see you're alright!"
...
After Zeng Jingxue returned to her dormitory, her counselor, Teacher Zhang, soon arrived and inquired again about what had happened in dormitory 504 the previous night.
Chen Li's three roommates recounted what happened last night.
Zeng Jingxue also recounted what happened after she woke up.
The counselor looked terrified; he never expected such a thing to actually happen!
Zeng Jingxue: Teacher Zhang, the school doctor said I should go to the hospital for another check-up, so I'd like to ask for a few days off to go home and get another check-up.
Counselor: Okay, go to the hospital for a thorough check-up. If anything happens, remember to let me know.
Zeng Jingxue: Thank you, Teacher Zhang.
Chen Li: Teacher Zhang, I would also like to ask for a few days off!
Other roommates: Teacher Zhang, I also want to ask for a few days off!
…………
The counselor grunted twice: "Except for Zeng Jingxue, no one else should ask for leave. The final exams are coming soon, so everyone should focus on their studies!"
Chen Li and the others pouted, somewhat disappointed.
"Don't worry, the school has already assigned someone to handle this! I believe it will be resolved soon!"
Counselor Zhang said.
"Also, please don't spread rumors about what happened last night. Focus on your studies and classes. If anything happens, call me! Remember that!"
After calming everyone down, the counselor left dormitory 504 with a mixture of surprise and unease.
After seeing her counselor off, Zeng Jingxue began packing her things.
She didn't want to stay in this dormitory for another second. Who knew if that evil spirit would come again tonight!
In addition, there was something else she couldn't understand: why would Zhang Yuan appear on the rooftop in the middle of the night? And, did he really save me?
I think I'll have to ask Zhang Yuan about this later!
