Li Guanqi and Xiao Chen were travel-worn, not daring to stop for a moment as they sprinted toward the iron door ahead.
There were several ways to get from Building A, where the seniors were, to Building C, where the freshmen were.
The most basic route was across the outdoor field, but with the situation outside unclear, neither of them chose that option. Instead, they took the interior connecting passage.
From Building A to Building B, they had passed directly through the connecting door on the second floor. Now, they were only separated from the second floor of Building C by the iron door before them.
In the dim corridor, their heavy breathing made the quiet night feel strangely restless.
Xiao Chen opened the notebook in his palm. After taking a quick look, his face changed drastically as he urgently called to the figure ahead of him:
"Something's wrong, Manager! The notes have vanished up to page seven!"
Li Guanqi's expression grew even grimmer at those words. He did not turn around as he faced the darkness ahead, but unease had begun to rise in his heart.
Two minutes earlier, after obtaining Hao Zhi's notebook, they had discovered that it contained forty-one love notes written for Chen Ping—forty-one pages in total.
The final page was the line about "eyes" that had been written yesterday.
But after they obtained the notebook, it had begun to destroy itself, and it was being erased in reverse.
Starting from page forty, the love notes began disappearing at a steady rate. In only two minutes, more than half had already vanished.
It was easy to imagine that before long, Hao Zhi's notebook of love notes would have only one page left. What had originally been the final page would become the first—and the only—page.
