In the figure’s hand, there’s a broken mop, and the top of the mop was lying beside them.
But upon closer inspection, it wasn’t a mop at all; it was an inverted corpse, and the top of the mop was none other than the hair from a human head.
The body and the head of the corpse had already been separated, making it impossible for it to be alive. However, the eyes on its head were wide open.
The hollow eyes, filled with tears of blood, carried a strong sense of unwillingness and resentment, as if refusing to rest in peace.
It looked horrifying and extremely unsettling.
“Cl... classmate, my... mop... is broken. Do you have... a new one?” The figure, with a hoarse voice, spoke to the bathroom door. The voice was unpleasant, as if it hadn’t been used in a long time, making it somewhat disjointed.
The figure’s voice was close, carrying a malevolence and resentment that instilled fear. Ruan Qing, naturally, could not respond. He tightly covered his mouth, preventing any sound from escaping.
However, this did not alleviate the fear and dread in him. His body continued to tremble uncontrollably, and tears flowed down ceaselessly. He was on the verge of passing out from sheer terror.
Even though Ruan Qing’s mind was blank, he was acutely aware that if he passed out at this moment, there was a chance he might not wake up as a human.
He bit down hard on his lower lip, leaving a trace of blood, and a faint taste of blood seeped into his mouth.
However, Ruan Qing didn’t release the bite, as only the pain could keep him slightly awake. He struggled to suppress his emotions and heartbeat, preventing himself from fainting due to triggering the deep hypnotic self-defense mechanism.
Qiao Nuo was in the computer science department; he should be able to locate him based on the recent phone call. Ruan Qing just needed to hold on until Qiao Nuo arrived.
But it seemed... he wouldn’t be able to wait for Qiao Nuo...
Because a hand extended from under the restroom door, then strangely and contortedly lengthened, reaching the latch of the restroom door and... opened it.
It happened so fast that Ruan Qing couldn’t stop it, nor could he do anything to prevent it.
Ruan Qing’s pupils slightly contracted, seemingly stunned by fear. He stood still, tears streaming down uncontrollably, completely moistening his delicate cheeks.
He appeared incredibly fragile.
As the door opened, the figure’s lips curled into an extremely distorted smile. Excitedly, it pushed the door open.
Simultaneously, with the opening of the door, the figure’s hand swiftly extended, ready to drag out the person inside.
When a ‘mop’ was broken, it should be replaced with a new one, or else mopping the floor wouldn’t be as enjoyable.
However, the figure’s hand abruptly halted halfway. ‘His’ gaze froze, and ‘he’ stared somewhat dazedly at the young man inside the restroom.
Even though he hadn’t fully processed the situation, the figure instinctively hid the bloodstains and the eerie atmosphere around him. Subconsciously, he also stepped on the ‘mop’ beneath his feet, preventing it from turning to face the young man.
The young man seemed terrified, crying miserably. His face, now pale, with beautiful eyes moistened by tears, was completely dominated by fear and dread.
Despite the pitiful crying, it didn’t diminish his beauty in the slightest; instead, it softened the hearts of those who witnessed it.
The figure, unexpectedly moved by the sight of the weeping young man, softened his voice. “Classmate... going out at night is... prone to danger...”
Though the figure’s voice remained hoarse and unpleasant, it no longer sounded as frightening as before.
Moreover, after concealing the bloodstains and gloominess, the figure appeared entirely normal, indistinguishable from an ordinary person with the naked eye.
Except for the absence of a shadow on the ground.
“Especially when you’re like this...” The figure paused abruptly, as if recalling something, freezing in place.
Wait!
About 1.75 meters tall, ruby earrings with tassels, exceptionally handsome, wearing a white shirt, and a teardrop mole at the corner of his eye.
Wasn’t this the young man that Lord Ghost King commanded not to harm!?
The figure’s eyes widened directly, almost losing grip of the ‘map’ in his hand.
Due to his trembling hand, the broom’s head accidentally rolled a bit farther.
In the midst of rolling, the ‘mop’ transformed back into a human head in an instant, looking extremely terrifying.
Fortunately, the figure reacted quickly, immediately standing in front to block the view.
Once the human head stopped rolling, it transformed back into the appearance of a mop head.
The figure became increasingly nervous as the human head transformed back. It was an emotion he hadn’t experienced since he died.
Not only because of Lord Ghost King’s command, but also because he didn’t want to scare this exquisite yet fragile young man.
The figure sighed in relief, as it seemed the young man hadn’t noticed.
Due to the tears blurring his vision and the fast movement of the figure, Ruan Qing couldn’t see anything clearly.
Even though the figure disguised itself well, Ruan Qing couldn’t forget the distorted and elongated hand he had just witnessed.
Moreover, the figure in front of him had no shadow, clearly declaring that it wasn’t human.
But it seemed like the figure had no intention of harming him?
Could it be... attracted to his body?
Ruan Qing fearfully pursed his lips, his eyelashes trembling uncontrollably.
“Classmate... where do you live... I’ll take you... back.” The figure struggled to speak, trying hard to sound normal.
But the figure hadn’t spoken in a long time, and its tongue had lost its flexibility. The speech was still disjointed.
The figure looked at the young man, who was full of fear, and silently handed him the phone that belonged to him.
Then he saw the young man shrinking back in fear, lips trembling uncontrollably. It was evident that he had reached the peak of terror.
The hand extended by the figure remained frozen in place, and an inexplicable sense of discomfort rose in his heart.
But the figure also knew he had scared the young man just now.
In the end, it was his fault. He didn’t even look at the person and attacked directly, relying on instinct to choose the weakest one.
If he had just glanced at the person, maybe he wouldn’t have scared him so badly.
The figure lowered his head in self-reproach, gently placed the phone on the ground, and then retrieved the head of the ‘mop,’ proceeding to conscientiously and responsibly mop the floor.
This scene was quite common, except it was happening in the middle of the night.
Although the figure was mopping the floor, his attention was not on the task, but on the young man nearby.
He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the young man picking up the phone from the ground.
The figure didn’t dare to say anything more to the young man, deciding that next time, he must approach the young man with a more appealing appearance.
As for the orders from the Ghost King?
‘He’ only said not to harm the young man, but didn’t say anything about other actions.
