"It's getting late. It's been a hard day for you guys to be afraid. It's better for you to sleep early.”
"An Wuqing, I don't dare to sleep." Nan Nan took off her shoes and sat on An Wuqing's bed." Let's sleep together, okay?"”
"An Wuqing, I don't dare to sleep either."
"I don't dare to sleep either."
" Zhao Xin, Wang Yang, Nan Nan, you…" An Wuqing frowned at the three little girls in front of him.
"We're really scared. We don't want to die.”Xin Zhao said with a sobbing tone.
"Why don't we pretend to be crazy like Li Wen? That way, someone can protect us and we can be safe.”Nan Nan suggested.
"Nan Nan, what nonsense are you talking about? How do you know that Li Wen is pretending to be crazy? Why is she pretending to be crazy?" An Wuqing frowned.
"I don't know, and I don't want to know. What does it have to do with me whether she's crazy or not? An Wuqing, can you send us all to the police station? We're so scared.”Nan Nan tugged at the corner of An Wuqing's shirt and begged.
"The police station is not a shelter. They can't protect you forever. You can't hide from what's coming for you. Don't always think of escaping. You're afraid, and I'm afraid. You don't want to die. I don't want to either, but can the matter be resolved if you just sit and wait for death? It can't be."
An Wuqing raised Nan Nan's chin and made her look straight at him as he spoke, emphasizing each word.
Nan Nan was forced to look directly into An Wuqing's eyes. Her entire body was trembling. An Wuqing could not bear it, but he could only let her see the truth.
"Don't be afraid, okay?”An Wuqing looked at the three people in front of him and enunciated each word clearly." I can't give you any guarantees, but can't you be braver?”
"An Wuqing is right. We should be braver.”Wang Yang's voice was trembling.
"Even if we can't be brave, we should be more optimistic. This isn't the day of death, right? If we are really going to be killed by the curse, then we can't waste our lives. Let's live each day as if it's our last.”
An Wuqing looked at Wang Yang, the nodding Zhao Xin, and Nan Nan, who dared to look him in the eye. Her roommates seemed to have grown up.
"So, our priority now is to have a good sleep. Otherwise, if there really are ghosts in the middle of the night, we can't die without knowing how we died.”An Wuqing said slowly.
"An Wuqing, we've just gained some courage. Can you stop scaring us?”Nan Nan frowned, pouted, and said unhappily.
" Rest assured and sleep. We'll take turns to keep watch. It'll be more dangerous late at night. Then, let's do it according to our courage. The four of us will sleep for eight hours. Each of us will be on duty for two hours. Nan Nan will be on duty for the first two hours. Midnight is the most dangerous. I'll do it. After that, Zhao Xin and Wang Yang will be on duty. If there's really any noise and you're afraid, wake me up. I can sleep well."”
"Alright, let's do that." The remaining three nodded in agreement.
Nothing happened during Nan Nan's night shift, and it was the same for An Wuqing. However, when An Wuqing had only slept for an hour, there was a regular knock on the door. When Zhao Xin heard the knock, he hurriedly sat on An Wuqing's bed. This butt could kill An Wuqing.
" Ah…" An Wuqing was about to scream when Zhao Xin covered his mouth. Zhao Xin gestured for An Wuqing to keep quiet and glanced at the door, hinting for An Wuqing to listen carefully.
The knocks on the door were incessant. The sound was neither loud nor soft, just enough for the people inside to hear. Moreover, it was very rhythmic.
"An Wuqing, what should we do?" Zhao Xin said with a trembling voice, one of his hands tightly gripping the corner of An Wuqing's shirt.
"I'll go take a look at the door. You stay here and don't move.”As he spoke, An Wuqing wanted to move toward the door. Only then did he realize that Zhao Xin was grabbing the corner of his shirt.
"Don't be afraid. It's fine." An Wuqing patted Zhao Xin's shoulder to comfort him. Only then did Zhao Xin let go of An Wuqing's clothes.
At this moment, the knocking on the door became louder and louder, waking up the other two people who were sleeping. The three of them huddled together tightly. The knocking on the door did not stop because of the fear of the people inside.
The shouts grew louder and more urgent as An Wuqing inched closer to the door. She did not know what it meant to open the door. Who was outside the door, or was it not a person at all?
An Wuqing shook his head randomly to dispel the fear in his heart. When her hand touched the door handle, the knocking on the door became more and more urgent, as if it would break in the next moment...
