Peninsula: I'm being supported by a top idol.

"You...you're scaring me..."

Liu Zhimin's hair stood on end, and his eyes were fixed on the screen!

"Really!"

Jin Dongtian burrowed half her body into the captain's arms. Although she was scared, she couldn't help but want to see what happened next.

Ouch... Ouch... Ouch...

The sound continued, and the two girls found themselves hugging each other without realizing it.

"Unnie, what on earth is that sound?"

Jin Dongtian was afraid.

Liu Zhimin, however, was worried: "Why hasn't he come back yet? Could something have happened to him?"

Then, another set of footsteps came from the screen.

The two held their breath and stared intently at the silhouette in the darkness, not daring to blink even once.

As the footsteps drew near, Liu Zhimin finally breathed a sigh of relief. He was back, and it seemed nothing had happened.

At that moment, the eerie sound that had been stimulating their nerves disappeared.

Cui Shi'an was a little speechless. He had just gone over to check and found that the girl who had just gone out drinking had returned. She had probably drunk too much and accidentally tripped and fell, causing him to worry for nothing.

He was about to sit down and have a drink of water when he noticed that the convenience store owner had reappeared at the store entrance, holding a broom and slowly and methodically sweeping the floor that he had clearly cleaned thoroughly that evening!

The broom scrubbed against the clean cement floor, making a sickeningly loud sound.

An unusual feeling instantly enveloped Cui Shi'an. He looked at the other person suspiciously:

"Boss... why are you sweeping again?"

The shop owner didn't look up, remaining bent over sweeping the floor. He simply extended a thin, dry finger, pointing to the mirror-like surface beneath his feet, and answered in an unusually calm, even slightly bewildered tone:

"It's a bit dirty here."

boom!

These words struck Cui Shi'an like a bolt of lightning!

At that moment, every hair on my body stood on end!

He forced himself to calm down, slowly backing away to create some distance, while casually saying:

"Oh... really? Then you're busy, I'll go somewhere else..."

He hadn't finished speaking and was about to turn around—

A cold, withered hand, with inhuman force, pressed heavily onto his left shoulder!

The immense force rendered him completely immobile!

Immediately afterwards, the boss's originally gentle voice became hoarse and distorted, like the grinding of rusty iron, carrying a chilling and eerie laugh, as it sounded close to the back of his ear:

"Are you...looking for me?"

"ah!!!!"

The two women, upon seeing the withered hand in front of the tablet screen, simultaneously let out a scream!

"What's wrong? What's wrong?"

Ningning and Giselle ran out of their respective rooms with towels wrapped around their heads!

"A ghost..." Jin Dongtian pointed at the screen and said tremblingly, "There's a ghost!"

She dared not look anymore, but Liu Zhimin forced herself to endure the fear and stared wide-eyed at the screen.

Then, she witnessed an unbelievable scene—

On the screen, Cui Shi'an, who was being held down by that withered hand, suddenly stiffened.

He didn't turn around, but instead forced himself to remain calm and spoke to the "being" behind him in a slightly trembling yet exceptionally clear voice:

"Old friend, is there anything you still can't let go of?"

This sentence was like lighting a powder keg!

Suddenly, a piercing scream, completely inhuman and filled with extreme anger and pain, erupted from the "boss's" throat!

"Jie—"

The voice was so sharp it seemed to pierce eardrums, penetrate the screen, and go straight into Liu Zhimin's mind!

Then, the most terrifying thing happened—

Cui Shi'an's body was as if he had been hit head-on by an invisible truck. Without warning, he was thrown backward and flew into the darkness outside the camera's view!

All that could be heard was a heavy, chilling impact!

"ah!!!"

In front of the tablet, four girls simultaneously let out terrified screams!

Almost at the same instant Cui Shi'an flew out, the live broadcast seemed to be subjected to strong signal interference, and began to flicker and stutter violently, with the image distorted into meaningless color blocks and mosaics.

The piercing electrical noise replaced all other sounds.

Just two seconds later—

[Live stream has ended]

A cold system notification popped up, and the screen plunged into complete, deathly darkness.

The dormitory fell into a deathly silence.

Jin Dongtian covered his mouth tightly, his eyes filled with terror.

Ningning and Gisele were pale-faced, exchanging bewildered glances, unable to believe what they had just witnessed.

Liu Zhimin stared blankly at the black screen, feeling as if he had been doused with ice water, chilled from head to toe. His heart felt like it was being squeezed tightly by an invisible hand, making it hard to breathe.

He flew away...

That impact...

Then... the connection dropped...

Overwhelmed by immense fear and unprecedented anxiety, she was instantly engulfed like a tidal wave.

"Is...is it going to call the police...?" Giselle asked nervously.

These words seemed to remind Liu Zhimin of something, and he hurriedly rushed into the bedroom to find his phone.

Her fingers trembled as she dialed, almost without thinking, the number she had saved but never actively dialed.

"Please... answer the phone... answer the phone now!"

But the signal on the other end seemed to be interfered with by something, and I could never get through.

"Is Unnie calling the police?" Kim Dong-won ran to the bedroom door and looked at her.

Liu Zhimin had no time to answer, keeping his phone to his ear and calling Cui Shi'an again and again.

"Why can't I get through?!" In her anxiety, she burst into profanities in the bedroom: "Damn it! Damn it! Answer the phone! Answer the phone!"

"Unnie..." Kim Dong-won was startled. The shock that Yoo Ji-min was giving her was no less than seeing the ghost hand in the video just now.

However, all Liu Zhimin could think of at this moment were images of Cui Shi'an repeatedly facing death. Could it be that this time...?

No, no, I was with him the first three times. If I'm not here this time, is he doomed?

"No, I have to go! I have to go save him!"

The thought ignited in Liu Zhimin's mind like wildfire, instantly overwhelming his fear.

She turned her head abruptly, her gaze fixed on the drawer beside the bed—inside, lay a cold, triangular arrowhead!

Her intuition told her that this thing must be useful!

As if grasping at a straw, she rushed over, pulled open the drawer, and tightly gripped the arrowhead in her hand.

The cold touch actually cleared her chaotic thoughts a little, and then she pulled on her coat.

"Unnie! What are you doing?!"

Jin Dongtian was stunned by her actions and quickly blocked the doorway, "Where are you going so late? It's dangerous outside!"

Liu Zhimin suddenly realized what was happening, grabbed Jin Dongtian's shoulder abruptly, and looked at him with unprecedented anxiety:

"Winter! What's the name of that place you mentioned, the cave? Tell me quickly! Where exactly is it?!"

Jin Dongtian was overwhelmed by the captain's almost uncontrollable excitement and powerful aura, and stammered in response:

"Chung...Chung Rock Cave..."

"Jongam Cave..." Liu Zhimin repeated in a low voice, his eyes resolute, "Wait for me, Choi Si-an."

She silently prayed in her heart, "This time, it's my turn to save you."

Without further hesitation, he pushed open the dormitory door...
