Fang Siwen kicked a stone on the road and said sullenly, "You have reason to be angry. It's our fault that we misunderstood Deng Shushu and you."
Yuan Yuxue paused slightly.
"I'm not misunderstood," he said. "I'm not going to get angry about this kind of thing."
He was used to this kind of thing in the past.
Fang Siwen choked slightly and wanted to say something, but a loud sound of metal collision suddenly rang out, cutting through the night, and immediately made both of them look over.
The metallic sound was very abrupt, rumbling in the silent night, like the sound of a bell guiding the souls of the dead, and even the temperature around me dropped significantly in an instant.
But upon closer inspection, it turned out that the main door outside the dormitory was not locked. The iron door was wide open at this time, and the iron chain hanging on the railing had somehow slipped down, causing a strange vibration and collision, which resulted in a huge knocking sound.
In the next second, a dry and pale hand reached out and grasped the chain, stopping the sound.
The man in the black cloak came over, his whole body covered, except for one eye, which looked over the railing. The white eyeball was covered with bloodshot, and at first glance it looked like a red eyeball floating in the air. After confirming who was coming, he asked in a hoarse voice, "Students who came back late?"
The two of them responded.
They had seen the man's photo on the notice board at the bottom of the dormitory building before. This was their dormitory manager.
"Do you have a note for leave? Let me see it."
They had known that the leave note would still be useful, so they kept it safely with them. The two of them took it out of their pockets, unfolded it and showed it to the dormitory manager.
The dormitory manager glanced at them, made way for them, and waved to them to follow: "Don't turn on your phone lights or talk after entering the dormitory building. Remember to lock the door after returning to the dormitory."
"If you run into the cleaner, show him the note. Remember, you have to let him see it, and don't worry about anything else."
They nodded in agreement. Although they had not yet entered the dormitory building, Fang Siwen had already turned off his flashlight and cell phone just in case, and then he went upstairs in the dark.
The two were very quiet. Yuan Yuxue's dormitory was on the second floor, and Fang Siwen was unlucky and had to go to the sixth floor. So at the fork in the road on the second floor, he gestured to Yuan Yuxue, indicating that they should separate from here.
Yuan Yuxue nodded slightly.
The dormitory corridor was narrow and long. There was still some light from the moonlight outside at the entrance, but it became darker and darker as we walked forward. Yuan Yuxue had just taken two steps when she heard a burst of humming coming from the originally quiet corridor.
Then the water-soaked mop hit the ground with a "pop" sound. When it was lifted up, there was a friction sound of wet water droplets falling, and the humming sound became more ethereal.
Getting closer.
When the mop was almost under Yuan Yuxue's feet, Yuan Yuxue unfolded the note, squatted down, put it in front of the "mop", and took a look at it.
Yuan Yuxue's vision was not obstructed in the darkness, so she could clearly see that the cleaner in front of her had nothing on his shoulders, only a short and thick neck, but no head.
Its head was now stuck on the mop handle, rubbing happily on the ground.
