Chapter 675: There’s a Ghost in the Dormitory (Part One)

The police rejected her.

Yuan Ting even knelt down, but the police officer remained unmoved. Yuan Ting was about to cry. She slowly returned to the dormitory and saw that her roommate, Zhu Cuiying, had returned. She was sitting on her iron bed with two books in her hands.

Yuan Ting looked at the cover and froze when she saw the name.

The name of the book was—

“Sweeper”

As the name suggested, a sweeper was someone who defined himself as one who gets rid of the trash and beasts in this world. Thinking about what those people had said before, Yuan Ting’s legs almost turned weak.

Zhu Cuiying looked at her and asked her in confusion, “Sister, why are your legs trembling?”

Yuan Ting could not speak her mind.

She shook her head and said, “N-Nothing.” Yuan Ting returned to her bed and sat down. Her back was originally facing Zhu Cuiying, but when she heard Zhu Cuiying flipping through the book, she inexplicably felt flustered. Yuan Ting had something on her mind, so she turned around and slept facing Zhu Cuiying.

The lights in the dormitory had already been turned off. There was a small window on the door of the dormitory, and the light from the corridor poured in. The room was not too dark, but Zhu Cuiying could read words under the faint light, so her vision was quite good. Yuan Ting could not sleep that night. When she closed her eyes, she could always see Zhu Cuiying holding a knife and looking at her expressionlessly.

When Yuan Ting was woken up by a nightmare, the sky was already bright.

After that, Yuan Ting went to the police to ask for a change in dormitory, but without exception, she was rejected. Yuan Ting knew that if this continued, she would go crazy sooner or later.

After living in fear for more than a week, Yuan Ting felt relieved when she noticed that Zhu Cuiying’s attitude towards her was normal. On this day, the weather was good, and the prison arranged for a group of people to go out to work as prisoners.

In Yuan Ting’s building, six women were chosen. Yuan Ting was not one of them, but her roommate, Zhu Cuiying, was chosen. On the afternoon that Zhu Cuiying went out to work, Yuan Ting slept peacefully. In the afternoon, she went to the workshop to work and heard others discussing that Zhu Cuiying and the rest were lucky and could go out to work. They were going for two days.

Yuan Ting had heard before that criminals who performed well during their sentences would sometimes be sent out to work. After being locked in a prison for a long time, it was naturally good to be able to go out and take a breather. When Yuan Ting heard their conversation, she was quite depressed. She thought about how she used to live a carefree and exciting life, but now, she did not have any freedom at all.

Yuan Ting had never done such hard work before. She sat there for the entire day. Every time she got off work, she would be so tired that her back hurt. However, she could not rest immediately and had to do some ideological education…

All kinds of torture made Yuan Ting irritated and unwilling.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye. Zhu Cuiying and the rest returned to prison.

Yuan Ting returned to the dormitory and suddenly pushed open the door. When she saw Zhu Cuiying, she was a little surprised. “Ah Ying, you’re back?” Yuan Ting was more than ten years older than Zhu Cuiying, so it was appropriate for her to call her Ah Ying.

Zhu Cuiying looked up at her and nodded coldly.

Although Zhu Cuiying was a woman of few words, she was not as cold as she was now. Yuan Ting looked at Zhu Cuiying suspiciously. She felt that Zhu Cuiying seemed to have changed after going out for a while. She thought that she was overthinking. Yuan Ting took a shower and lay on the bed, thinking of something to say to Zhu Cuiying.

She asked Zhu Cuiying, “How many years have you been locked up here?”

Zhu Cuiying replied coldly, “Eight years.”

Yuan Ting originally wanted to ask her when she would go out, but when she remembered that Zhu Cuiying was sentenced to life imprisonment, she calmed down.

Zhu Cuiying also took off her clothes and lay down, covering herself with the blanket.

Yuan Ting stared at Zhu Cuiying’s sleeping face and gradually fell asleep. In the middle of the night, Yuan Ting suddenly felt that something was wrong and woke up. She turned around and saw a black shadow standing by the bed. That person was staring at her with her black eyes, but her gaze did not change.

Think about it. You live in the same room as a perverted murderer in a locked room. You wake up in the middle of the night only to find that perverted murderer staring at you, motionless. Anyone would probably be scared to death.

Yuan Ting screamed.

“Ahh—”

The entire building was woken up by her scream.

Yuan Ting’s actions were quick. She jumped up like a rabbit and hid in the innermost part of the bed. Yuan Ting grabbed the blanket on her body and was frightened. She asked Zhu Cuiying tremblingly, “W-What are you doing!”

Yuan Ting realized that her voice was hoarse.

Zhu Cuiying said expressionlessly, “I just wanted to ask if you have sanitary pads. It’s the time of the month.”

Yuan Ting was speechless.

Just this?

There was finally some redness on her pale face that a living person should have. Yuan Ting shook her head and said, “I’m already in my sixties. I stopped a long time ago. I don’t have that.”

“Oh.”

Zhu Cuiying had just sat back down by her bed when there was a knock on the dormitory door. Outside the door, the prison police asked, “What’s wrong with you guys? Why aren’t you sleeping at night?!”

Zhu Cuiying said in a muffled voice, “No, I asked Sister Yuan if she had sanitary pads. Sister Yuan was shocked by me.”

There was silence outside. The policeman said, “Come with me and get it.”

Zhu Cuiying slowly stood up, opened the door, and walked out. After she went out, the police officer glanced at Yuan Ting again and said sarcastically, “You’ve done too many guilty things so something like this can also frighten you. You’re always scaring yourself and imaging all sorts of things…”

Yuan Ting had no words to say.

Zhu Cuiying, who stood by her bed in the middle of the night to scare her, was clearly really scary.

A moment later, Zhu Cuiying returned. When she returned, Yuan Ting had already pretended to be asleep. In reality, she could not fall asleep at all. When she heard that Zhu Cuiying had gone to the toilet and then laid down again, she confirmed that she was asleep before daring to sleep. When she woke up the next morning, Yuan Ting was especially tired. She kept making mistakes when she did things and was scolded a few times.

The next night, Yuan Ting slept until midnight when she suddenly heard a faint call.

That voice sounded like someone crying.

The whining sounds were especially scary in the middle of the night.

At first, Yuan Ting thought that it was her imagination. She turned around and was in a daze. In the end, she heard the voice again. This time, she heard the voice clearly. It was a woman’s cry. Not only was she crying, but she was also talking.

“Waaah, waaah, Brother Han, save me, Brother Han, save me…”

After hearing what this person was saying, Yuan Ting sat up from the bed in shock. She screamed at the dim dormitory, “Who! Who is deliberately mystifying things!”

No one answered Yuan Ting.

Silence returned to the room. The sobbing was gone.

Yuan Ting looked at the bed next door in shock, only to see that Zhu Cuiying had also been woken up by her. Zhu Cuiying opened her eyes and stared at Yuan Ting coldly. She asked, “What are you shouting about again?”
