Chapter 10

Walking through the school gate, his feet stepped onto the shaded path in the campus. The evening breeze blew gently, giving a sense of ease and comfort, as if all the fatigue had dissipated at that moment.

Liu He and that guy would probably not be able to sleep tonight, but no matter how惨 Chen Chu died, for Su Bai, it was just a momentary reaction when he saw it. It wouldn't become a nightmare for him.

However, there was something that Su Bai found hard to determine whether it was good or bad: with Xun'er's departure, the killing club would also disband. In the future, if he really couldn't control himself, he would have to go abroad for mental treatment in this area. Otherwise, he might become a demon with a penchant for killing the innocent, which was not what Su Bai wanted to see now.

Although the people he had killed before were not good, they were not legally deserving of death. However, at least it provided Su Bai with some psychological comfort, just like what he said to the female white-collar worker he killed in the toilet:

"Although I don't like to talk nonsense, it's a rule of the club that I must say: your sins have escaped the punishment of the secular world, but they cannot escape our judgment."

He forced a layer of sacred righteousness onto his twisted psychology.

While Su Bai was lost in thought, he continued walking forward. Suddenly, he stopped, frozen in place.

Why was it so quiet around here?

Even though it was late at night in the campus, it should be normal. But today, with hundreds or even thousands of people playing the "meat block" game, it was impossible for it to be so quiet.

Su Bai's fingers clenched together, and his gaze began to scan the surroundings. The feeling of something being off grew stronger.

However, after waiting for a long time, nothing unusual happened.

Su Bai decided to continue walking to the dormitory. A figure emerged from the flower corridor ahead.

"Who's there!"

"Su Bai, it's me."

Liu He, holding a cup of milk tea, said, "I just threw up in the flower garden and bought a cup of milk tea to freshen my mouth."

Su Bai nodded. Liu He walked in front, and Su Bai followed behind. The two of them returned to the dormitory.

When Su Bai saw the dormitory aunt still sitting at the entrance, he felt much more at ease. It seemed he was being overly sensitive and paranoid.

Entering the old dormitory building, they reached the third floor. Liu He unlocked the door, and Su Bai walked in.

"Want to take a shower?" Liu He asked.

"No, not right now," Su Bai shook his head. At this moment, he wanted to lie down and have a good sleep.

"I'll go to the toilet to take a shower," Liu He said, taking a basin, putting a towel, shampoo, and shower gel into it, and then went out wearing only his underwear.

Su Bai took off his shirt, climbed onto his bed, and picked up his laptop. However, when he opened it, the Windows 10 system kept restarting in a loop. It seemed the system had a problem. Fortunately, Su Bai had backed up important data, so he wasn't worried about the data being damaged if the system broke down.

But now, he didn't have the energy to reinstall the system. He put the laptop on the bedside table and closed his eyes, preparing to sleep.

At this moment, the screen of the phone on Liu He's bed suddenly lit up.

Most smartphones nowadays have radio apps. The app automatically opened and started playing:

"Hello, listeners, it's time for our 'Horror Radio' program. Today, we will continue with our ghost stories. Please calm down and listen carefully."

Su Bai wasn't asleep at this moment. He seemed to hear some strange sounds, but when he tried to wake up and open his eyes, he found that he couldn't move at all.

Sleep paralysis!

He was experiencing sleep paralysis at this moment.

Su Bai began to struggle fiercely. Most people have experienced sleep paralysis, where their consciousness temporarily loses control over their body, but it usually resolves on its own after a while.

"Today's story takes place in a university. Do you remember the Diao Aiqing case from 20 years ago, also known as the ND dismemberment case? This case once shocked the nation, but it has remained unsolved for 20 years. Now, it has passed the 20-year statute of limitations. Although the Jiangsu cyber police tweeted on the day the statute of limitations expired that the police would continue to investigate the ND dismemberment case, few people still have hope.

"Twenty years have passed, and people and things have changed. Evidence, testimonies, and witnesses are hard to track down. Most importantly, the investigation methods and techniques of the police 20 years ago were far too outdated. If we could use today's technology and investigation methods to go back to that time, we might find more clues;

"Of course, I'm saying 'might,' not 'definitely.'

"However, in the year 2016, the 20th anniversary of the ND dismemberment case, a similar case occurred in this well-known university. It almost completely replicated all the details of the ND dismemberment case. The student's body was boiled, then cut into pieces, and scattered around the school.

"If the previous case was unsolved due to the limitations of the technology and investigation methods of 20 years ago, what about now?

"In 2016, with a similar case, can the police find the killer?

"Shh...

"Don't make a sound,

"Really, don't make a sound,

"Look, the door of that dormitory in the dormitory building has opened. The male student who died,

"He,

"He,

"He has come back..."

"Creak~"

A crisp sound echoed as the door was pushed open.

A male student walked in.

He sat on his bed, then went to the desk, turned on the lamp, looked at his desk, and opened the drawer. When he noticed that his drawer lock had been broken, he frowned slightly, showing a hint of anger.

At this moment, another person walked in from outside. This person was wet, holding a basin, and it was Liu He, who had just returned from the toilet.

"Hey, Chen Chu, you're back," Liu He, always the good guy, greeted warmly.

"Yep, my girlfriend has to do homework tonight, so I'm staying here," Chen Chu said.

"Welcome, welcome," Liu He smiled, "Come back often, or the dorm will get too quiet."

"There are still two people in the dorm," Chen Chu glanced at the 4th bed, which was covered by a curtain.

Liu He pointed at the 4th bed and made a gesture, indicating that Su Bai was a rather cold person, so the dorm sometimes lacked a lively atmosphere.

Chen Chu suddenly thought of something and asked Liu He, "What happened to the lock on my drawer?"

"This..." Liu He's face showed a difficult expression, then he shook his head, "I didn't do it."

This answer was essentially telling Chen Chu who had broken the lock, as there were only two people in the dorm.

"Su Bai, Su Bai, what happened to my lock!"

Chen Chu shouted from below.

However, there was no response from Su Bai's bed.

"You..." Chen Chu was about to say something but was stopped by Liu He.

"It's late, he's probably asleep. We can talk about it tomorrow."

Chen Chu nodded. After all, they were classmates and roommates. Although he was angry earlier, now he remembered the grand entrance Su Bai had made when he first came to school and knew that it wasn't worth it to offend a classmate with a powerful family background.

"Can I borrow your shower gel? I'll take a shower too."

"Sure, take it."

"Thanks."

"Creak..."

Chen Chu walked out of the dormitory and closed the door behind him.

At this moment, Su Bai finally broke free from the sleep paralysis. He immediately sat up, having clearly perceived everything that happened outside during the sleep paralysis. He could hear who had come in and the conversation between Liu He and the person.

Su Bai jumped off his bed, gripping a dagger tightly.

Liu He was sitting on his bed, cooling off. He was startled when he saw Su Bai suddenly get up.

"What's wrong?" Liu He was at a loss.

"Chen Chu is back?" Su Bai deliberately reminded Liu He.

Chen Chu was already dead, his body mutilated and nailed to a chair. Both Su Bai and Liu He had seen the crime scene with their own eyes.

"Right, he's back," Liu He said, puzzled.

Su Bai didn't say anything more, suppressing the urge to stab Liu He. He knew something was off and looked at the phone on Liu He's bed, picking it up.

The phone screen showed the radio app, with the current channel:

"Horror Radio!"

Damn, it was indeed this. What was it up to now?

Su Bai gritted his teeth. The deeply hidden killing intent began to surface. He took a deep breath, pushed open the dormitory door, and walked to the toilet, gripping the knife tightly.

"Rinse..."

"Rinse..."

The sound of showering continued in the toilet, basically just using a basin to catch water and pour it over the body.

When Su Bai reached the toilet door, his hand on the knife handle began to tremble slightly. He saw:

Chen Chu, who was showering,

while showering,

bleeding,

and even,

his intestines,

were spilling out onto the floor.
