The Gradually Growing Weird Turn of Events

When bad luck strikes, even drinking cold water can cause problems.

Bai Zhi, who was being watched closely by 34 pairs of eyes, was now inexplicably feeling immense pressure.

Everyone's face was expressionless. Whether they were sleeping, chatting, playing on their phones, or memorizing vocabulary, they all turned their heads and stared at him blankly.

... I don't think I've done anything that would anger or resent everyone, have I?

Just as Bai Zhi was mentally grumbling and figuring out what to do next, in the next instant, just like a classic scene from a horror movie, the Lights in the carriage went out.

As the soft sound of footsteps echoed, a terrifying chewing sound could be faintly heard from the darkness...

With a sharp cry of alarm, the Girl lying in bed was jolted awake from her Nightmare.

The scene that came into the Girl's view was a familiar ceiling that was vaguely visible in the darkness.

"Phew... thank goodness it was just a dream..."

Upon realizing she was lying in bed, Yan Yue breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat from her forehead.

It was only then that she realized her pillow was soaked with cold sweat.

"What the heck? How could I suddenly have such a terrifying Nightmare, and it felt so real, like it actually happened? If this keeps up, I might develop Shadow of the subway..."

Muttering something under her breath, the Girl, startled awake, was no longer sleepy and groped her way to sit up in bed.

"But speaking of which, Passenger who disguise themselves as humans but actually eat people on the subway... Hmm... that's quite a good subject for a story..."

As she recalled the rapidly fading dream in her mind, the Girl nodded thoughtfully.

As a Special automatic protection mechanism for humans, the images in dreams quickly begin to fade after people wake up.

"No, I need to jot this idea down right away; the magazine will be urging me to submit my manuscript again in a few days..."

As if she had just remembered something, the Girl quickly threw off the covers and tried to get up and go to her desk.

But as soon as she turned her head, she saw an evil, indescribable creature squatting on the headboard of her bed, staring straight at her.

What words should be used to describe the other person?

On that thing that could be called a head, there was an eye; to be precise, this eye occupied ninety percent of the space on what could be called a face.

Compared to its large, eerie eye sockets, its pupils appeared incredibly small. The color of its pupils was not the common pitch black or azure blue, but a Curse, evil white, resembling the lifeless, pitiful color of a fish belly turned white or a long-soaked corpse, emanating a putrid stench.

This hideous Monster's neck was thin and long, twisted into a contorted shape by an indescribable, eerie Strength, forming both acute and obtuse angles. Yet, it felt no discomfort from this, coldly glaring at every creation in this wretched universe with the patience unique to Demon, leaving no doubt that the biological laws of this world were ineffective against it.

The Girl hurriedly put on her Glasses and examined the object closely, only to discover that it was actually a desk lamp.

"An occupational hazard? Seriously..."

After turning on the lamp, Yan Yue reached out and took her glasses back off the bedside table. She rubbed her eyes and muttered something under her breath.

As a moderately well-known supernatural novelist, Yan Yue has always lived in a detached Apartment. Although most people are now used to reading and writing online, she still maintains the habit of writing with paper and pen.

"Phew... Perfect!!"

After jotting down her fleeting inspirations on paper and in her Notebook, Yan Yue leaned back in her chair, holding the paper in hands, and let out a satisfied sigh.

"That way, if I just do some minor polishing in the next day or two, I won't have to worry about being rushed to finish the manuscript anymore... I'm simply a genius!!"

Yan Yue carefully tucked the paper into the Notebook and then put the Notebook back into the drawer.

She glanced at the clock on the wall, which showed two o'clock, and rubbed her aching arms as she sighed.

"Getting up in the middle of the night to find inspiration is really something... But speaking of which, it's time I started paying attention to my health. I've only written a few hundred words, and my arm is already aching terribly. I wonder if it's some kind of joint problem. I'm still so young, Cyberpunk has only just been released, and I haven't even been to the Legendary Big Bird Spinning Bar yet... Decision made, I'm going to use the bathroom first, then go to sleep and recharge. Tomorrow I'll play Game all day!!"

After quickly arranging her schedule for the entire day, Yan Yue stood up contentedly. After putting on a coat, she walked towards the bathroom outside the room.

However, just as she walked past the mirror without a care, in her reflection, there were two feet stepping on her shoulders.

"Waaaaaah--"

Suddenly, a series of eerie howls erupted from Room 402, interspersed with a curse.

"Damn it, you owe me back my phone!!"

With a pained expression, Li Tong picked up his phone from the ground—which had been knocked to the ground and automatically restarted—and turned around to curse at the group of Brutes huddled together behind him.

"You bunch of cowards! This horror movie has only just begun, and you're already scared? Scared is fine, but don't you dare smash my phone!!"

"That movie just doesn't follow the rules at all! I've never seen a Horror Movie start with Ultimate Skill..."

A boy looked embarrassed.

"Exactly, this movie is amazing!"

Another boy next to him, looking visibly shaken, chimed in.

"Speaking of which, I've been experiencing lower back pain lately. Could it be the same as that pain in that Horror Movie?"

"It's not the same, why don't you go look in the mirror yourself?"

After uttering that curt remark, Li Tong sat down in the chair with a pained expression, grabbed a few tissues from the side, and began wiping the stains off his precious phone.

"Besides, it's the middle of the day, the time when the yang energy is at its peak. Even if there really were ghosts, could they possibly come out at this time? It's unbelievable! You bunch of idiots are practically cursed..."

Outside the Dormitory, the sun was shining brightly.
