Building 17, Room 404!
It's past 1 a.m.
Chen Qianqian's three roommates were lying in bed, none of them able to sleep.
The dormitory lights were on, and the girls stared blankly at the ceiling, shivering in their blankets.
The first bed on the left side of the door in dormitory 404 was Chen Qianqian's bed, but it is now empty!
Chen Wei stared at the empty bed opposite her and sobbed softly, "Beibei, I can't sleep! I'm scared!"
"Little Blue, I can't sleep either!"
Chen Beibei: "How could Qianqian just leave like that!"
Will she come back in the middle of the night?
"Another girl who slept on the same side as Xiao Lan," Huang Zhenzhen said.
"Zhenzhen, don't say such scary things. Qianqian's death wasn't our fault. The guilty party should be held accountable. Qianqian, please don't come back!"
Chen Lan whispered.
The three girls cried for a while, then got so tired that Huang Zhenzhen and Chen Beibei drifted off to sleep. Only Chen Lanwei was still wide awake with panda eyes.
She was closest to Chen Qianqian, and Chen Qianqian's sudden death was the biggest blow to her. She has been in a daze for the past two days!
She didn't know how much time had passed, but just as Chen Weilan was about to fall asleep, there was a sudden, urgent knocking on the dormitory door!
Knock knock!
Knock knock knock!
Chen Weilan suddenly woke up, her sleepiness vanishing into thin air!
She listened intently, and it really was a knock on the door. Then, she secretly glanced at her phone from under the covers; it was 2:50 a.m.
At this hour, who would be knocking on the door for no reason!
Could it be that Qianqian's ghost has really returned?!
Holy crap!
Chen Weilan, huddled in her blankets, was terrified and wet herself. She cried out to her roommates, "Zhenzhen, Beibei, wake up! Someone's knocking on our dorm door!"
Huang Zhenzhen and Chen Beibei are both light sleepers because they are afraid. They woke up as soon as Chen Weilan called them!
Knock knock, knock knock, open the door!
Outside the dormitory, a faint female voice could be heard, sounding exactly like Chen Qianqian's!
The three girls were so frightened that they started crying!
\"ah!
Qianqian, don't come in!
There's a reason for every wrong, so please don't come looking for us! We haven't done anything to harm you!
Huang Zhenzhen: "Okay, I admit it, I secretly used your face wash. Qianqian, please forgive me. I'll burn paper money for you every Qingming Festival from now on!"
Chen Beibei: "I stole some of the snacks you hid in the drawer, Qianqian. I know I was wrong. Tomorrow I'll go to the supermarket and buy some of your favorite snacks as a sacrifice for you!"
Waaah!
Thump, thump!
Outside, the knocking continued intermittently. The three girls had already gotten up, huddled together, trembling, trying to bolster each other's courage.
"Amitabha Buddha, may Buddha protect you!"
God bless!
May God bless us!
Qianqian, go find whoever hurt you, and whatever you do, don't come to the dorm!
The eerie knocking stopped as dawn broke on the horizon.
The three girls cried until they were exhausted. They wrapped themselves in blankets and hugged each other. Despite their heavy, dark eyes, they remained vigilant and kept a close eye on the dormitory door.
Meanwhile, in dormitory 503 of the same building, Zeng Jingxue had a nightmare in which a girl wearing a red mink coat and a round hat was chasing her and trying to kill her.
The girl in the mink coat gave her a strange smile, then her pretty face began to contort and turn deathly pale. She reached out and grabbed Zeng Jingxue's neck, shouting, "Give me your life!"
Zeng Jingxue was literally scared awake!
She sat up abruptly in bed, her forehead covered in sweat!
Outside the window, the night was quiet and the darkness was frightening.
Zeng Jingxue lay back down, recalling the scene in her dream, and suddenly realized that the girl in her dream looked exactly like the senior student who jumped off the building at school!

Tongcheng University, President's Office.
A man in his fifties with a round face, wide nose, double chin, square-framed glasses, and a suit sat in a luxurious leather chair in his office, answering a phone call.
He is Zhang Tangjin, the president of Tongcheng University.
"Secretary Ruan, how's the matter with Chen Qianqian going?"
Zhang Tangjin said.
Principal Zhang, the matter concerning Chen Qianqian has been resolved. The school's humanitarian compensation was transferred to Chen Qianqian's family's bank account this morning, and we have also provided appropriate reassurance.
The police station didn't find any clues either, so the possibility of a deliberate murder can be ruled out.
The person who spoke with Zhang Tangjin on the phone was Ruan Xiangyu, the secretary of the Academy of Arts.
Principal Zhang pushed up his glasses on his wide nose: "So, that means Chen Qianqian's suicide was really due to emotional reasons stemming from a breakup?"
Ruan Xiangyu: "I think so. Besides that reason, we really can't find any other reason."
"However, according to the teachers and students in Chen Qianqian's class, Chen Qianqian is usually a cheerful person and has a good relationship with her classmates. It's unlikely that she would be so heartbroken as to jump off a building!"
I have a feeling something's fishy about this!
Ruan Xiangyu: "It's hard to say. Students these days are quite pampered and take emotions very seriously, so such things aren't impossible."
Principal Zhang responded with an "oh".
"Oh, right, Principal, there's one more thing I need to report to you!"
\"What's up?\"
"Recently, many students in our college have reported that the school dormitories are haunted. They say there are inexplicable noises coming from the dormitory doors at night, and some students even claim to have seen ghosts on their way back to their dorms at night!"
Ruan Xiangyu said.
\"Ha ha!
Secretary Ruan, you're not joking with me, are you?
Zhang Tangjin couldn't help but laugh out loud when he heard Ruan Xiangyu tell such absurd and ridiculous stories.
"But, Principal, many students in our college have recently reported this to me!"
"Alright, Secretary Ruan, stop talking. How could there be ghosts in this world!"
"Feudal superstition and its dregs are unacceptable!"
"That's all, I'm hanging up!"
Beep beep beep!

The next day.
Tongcheng University is bathed in sunshine.
Students, carrying their books, went to the classroom in small groups.
Zhang Yuan arrived at the classroom early today, which is quite unusual.
Except for one or two students who skipped class, almost everyone in Chinese Class 1 was present, so the classroom was almost full.
As usual, Zhang Yuan sat in the last row, near the back door of the classroom.
Because Zhang Yuan always sits in the last row of this seat when he comes to class, this seat has almost become Zhang Yuan's exclusive seat, and no one takes it from him.
Before class, the classroom was as lively as a vegetable market.
Some flirted and teased each other, while others joked and boasted.
"Did you know? I heard Building 17 is haunted!"
\"ah?\"
"Yesterday I played basketball with a guy from the art college. He said that some of his classmates saw it on the road at night and were scared half to death!"
I'm too scared to go out alone at night now!
"Also, do you know about room 404 in building 17?"
What happened to dormitory 404?
"Room 404 is the dormitory where the girl who jumped to her death a while ago lived. I heard that people often heard knocking on the door in the middle of the night!"
"That's terrifying!!"
\"yes.\"
"Many people at the art school are talking about this, describing it in a rather eerie way."
"I think this is probably true!"
"Okay, then let's go home earlier after evening self-study from now on."
...
Zhang Yuan sat in his seat, listening to his classmates gossip with boredom. Every now and then, he would look out the door and stare blankly at the sky and a row of neat sycamore trees.
Even exciting and terrifying events like students jumping off buildings at school or ghost stories at night didn't seem to interest him.
After listening to the gossip about the school being haunted for a while, the school bell finally rang, and a young female teacher wearing glasses, black stockings, and a short skirt came in to teach the class and wrote on the blackboard.
Zhang Yuan also sat up straight, closed his eyes, and began cultivating his spirit-nourishing technique to consolidate his recently achieved breakthrough to the Meridian Opening Realm.
The young female teacher was already used to seeing the boy named Zhang Yuan sleeping with his eyes closed in the last row of seats, and she was too lazy to even get angry.
However, with such a poor attitude towards learning, how will this student pass the final exam?
If you fail the exam, don't blame her for being ruthless!
