In XX University, the gentle Yang Xiao, the beautiful Liu Qi, the mischievous Tang Lingling, the calm Ouyang Yibing, the dorm leader Ling, and I lived in dorm room 402.
"I heard that if you put 50 cents on your body and sleep, you will die mysteriously at 4:44 the next day.”Liu Qi said when the lights were about to turn off.
"Forget it, it's impossible." I replied.
"But I've heard my grandmother say something similar before. It shouldn't be fake.”Yang Xiao explained.
"Do you want to try?" Liu Qi asked Ling Ling provocatively.
"Hehe, let's try. What's there to be afraid of?”
"I want another fifty cents at midnight.”Superintendent Ouyang said from the corner.
"If you two try, I'll pass.”I said.
"I'll go light a candle later. Yang Xiao, count down.”Zero said.
While everyone was chatting, it was almost midnight. Liu Qi and Ling Ling prepared with 50 cents in their hands.
" 54321..." Yang Xiao shouted. Liu Qi and Ling Ling placed the 50 cents on their chests.
"What terrifying thing happened? How did he die?”Ling Ling said.
"I heard it from someone else. Who knows?”Liu Qi explained.
"Alright, everyone, go to sleep." Zero displayed her authority as a leader.
The next day, Ling, who was the first to wake up, realized that Ling Ling and Liu Qi were missing. She didn't pay much attention to them, thinking that they had gone to the bathroom together. Ling had classes in the morning, so she hurried out. When she opened the door, she saw Liu Qi sitting at the door with a blank expression. He asked,"Where's Ling Ling? She's not with you?"
Liu Qi didn't answer. He just walked towards the toilet…Ling hurried back to wake us up and followed them. Liu Qi pushed open the toilet doors one by one until the fourth." Ling Ling!”"Ah!" Yang Xiao fainted.
Ling Ling had died a horrible death. He could only tell that it was her through her pajamas. There was not a single piece of intact skin on her face, but her eyes were wide open as if she had seen something terrifying. We thought of the 50 cents at the same time. "Did you feel anything unusual last night?"”
"No, I just feel dizzy.”
"There's nothing we can do now. We can only tell the school that Ling Ling died when she got up to go to the toilet at night.”Superintendent Ouyang said.
" Yeah." We nodded.
None of us paid attention to today's lesson. When they returned to the dormitory at night, Zero said," Let's go to bed early today. No one slept well last night."”We nodded in agreement. Although they said that, no one fell asleep.
The next day, Superintendent Ouyang sat on the stool early in the morning and said to us,"Yang Xiao is dead. Her body has been taken away by her family.”
"What? Yang Xiao is dead?" Zero couldn't take such a blow anymore.
" Is it…" I said.
"That's right. Yang Xiao was in charge of the countdown that day, right?”Superintendent Ouyang was still as calm as ever.
Liu Qi listened to the conversation in a daze. Superintendent Ouyang could tell that she was not in a good state of mind, so she asked the teacher to give her a week's leave and let him go back and have a good rest.
Unexpectedly, that was the last time we met. After attending the funeral, Liu Qi's mother said that Liu Qi died in his sleep. The forensic doctor determined that the time of death was about 4:40 to 4:50 in the morning.
4 o'clock? I could clearly feel Zero trembling.
"What should we do, Xiaoman? Are we going to die too?”Zero cried.
"Let's try again!" Superintendent Ouyang said firmly.
"Try again? Are you crazy?"
"That's the only way. The first one to die is Ling Ling, and there's 50 cents on her chest, right? Let's find the fifty cents and try again. As long as we can get rid of Ling Ling's resentment, she'll be fine.”
"Alright, we agree." Zero and I said at the same time.
It was very difficult to stay up until night. When the candles were lit at midnight, I counted down, but there were fewer people. Superintendent Ouyang chanted some incantations. Her grandfather used to be a Master Yin Yang, so she knew a little.
Zero and I didn't sleep. We watched Ouyang sleep until morning.
Ouyang told us,"Lingling's resentment has disappeared. She's fine." Have a good sleep tonight." A smile finally appeared on his face.
At night, I had the most peaceful sleep of my life. When she woke up, she found Ling Ling, Yang Xiao, and Liu Qi all there. Liu Qi said,""I heard that putting 50 cents on your chest while sleeping will kill you!”
"Liu Qi, don't."
"Yes, thank you, Xiaoman. I definitely won't try again.”
Try again? It was as if I had fallen into a whirlpool of time. That's not right. There was still a fifty-cent note beside the bed.
