My organs are too abstract.

"If this is her complication, the symptoms don't seem too serious," Xu Yuan thought to himself.

Thinking this, he suddenly realized something was wrong. There was a strand of hair hidden among Wenxiu's long, smooth, black hair. The end of the hair was dry and yellow, and it had not yet returned to its original black color. It was also wriggling slightly in a strange way.

It swayed and twisted from side to side within the thick hair, circled slightly, and then, in the next second, it stabbed straight at Wenxiu's neck!

"Hair can attack its owner?!"

Xu Yuan was startled and was about to stop her when he saw Wen Xiu's eyes flicker slightly. She raised her hand and naturally brushed the stray hairs behind her ear, tucking the unruly strand behind her ear.

The remaining normal hairs instantly gathered and wrapped around it, tightly enveloping the abnormal hair. The abnormal hair struggled a few times, then quickly lost all movement and withered completely.

Immediately afterwards, Wenxiu deftly flicked her fingertips, silently plucking and discarding it. The whole action was so smooth that it went unnoticed by anyone.

Seeing that she had already prepared a response, Xu Yuan quietly stopped his movements, secretly wondering to himself, "Could it be that her hair is turning against her? Is this her real complication? It's much more dangerous than I imagined."

His gaze fell on Wenxiu's hair, and then he couldn't help but extend his left hand, thinking to himself, "Although my left hand is a bit dim-witted, it's generally obedient, much better than Wenxiu's hair."

Wenxiu felt utterly helpless.

Her long hair has its own "temperament." It's fine most of the time, but after using it, it becomes particularly irritable. It needs careful maintenance to keep it smooth, neat, and refined before it can calm down. Otherwise, it will gradually dry out and wither like a flower that hasn't been watered, and only through constant and meticulous care can it recover.

However, not all hair can be saved. Once it completely deteriorates, it becomes extremely aggressive, attacking itself or those around it indiscriminately, like a bee stinging someone. It will only launch a fatal attack, and then it will perish completely.

That's why she's always ready to take care of her hair, in order to calm the strands and prevent them from getting out of control.

Just then, Yang Minghao suddenly asked, "By the way, what did you experience in the haunted house? Tell us about it."

Meimei nodded curiously, "I heard the NPCs inside are all crazy, what's going on?"

Ye Xuan shook his head, his tone full of regret: "It's a long story."

He recounted his haunted house experience in vivid detail, leaving Yang Minghao and Meimei stunned. They couldn't help but exclaim, "It's really impressive that you two managed to get out alive. To be honest, when I saw that corpse today, I was completely terrified. I never imagined something like this would happen to someone like me; it felt like a dream."

"Exactly!" Meimei nodded, still shaken. "I was terrified just seeing the corpse. You guys actually faced the murder scene and were chased all the way. If it were me, I would have been too scared to run."

Weiwei deeply sympathized, and a hint of lingering fear appeared on her already pale face: "Actually, I was also very scared at the time. Thanks to Zhao Ze and the others protecting us, Xiuxiu and I had the courage to escape."

Meimei looked around at everyone and exclaimed sincerely, "You are all so brave."

"When it comes to bravery, we're really nothing special." Li Da shook his head seriously, as if he had just remembered something. "Do you know what it truly means to be fearless?"

Yang Minghao became interested upon hearing this: "What is it?"

"When we first entered, there was a guy who was being cheeky, saying he came specifically for the nurse in the haunted house. We all thought he was joking, but who knew he was serious? He actually dared to reach out and touch the nurse's chest, and ended up dying a horrible death."

Yang Minghao was taken aback: "A nurse? The one from the haunted house poster?"

"That's right, it was her." Li Da's expression was somewhat wistful. "We didn't even have time to run away, but he rushed forward and risked his life for this little thing. It's such a loss."

"It's definitely a huge loss." Xu Yuan deeply agreed, his face showing a hint of understanding.

Compared to the others, he knew the nurse far better and had more authority to speak on the matter—she wasn't a living person at all, just a wooden puppet in human skin, cold and stiff to the touch, utterly devoid of any tactile sensation. To lose one's life for something like that was both foolish and pathetic.

Yang Minghao pondered for a moment, then asked doubtfully, "Could she, a woman, really have the ability to easily kill a grown man?"

Zhao Ze pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "I feel that even if several people were to get close to her, let alone fight one-on-one, they might not be a match for her."

In his eyes, the nurse's strength was far beyond that of an ordinary person; she was not a normal human being at all. He had simply simplified his words to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Yang Minghao shook his head upon hearing this: "Then he deserves his bad luck. He wanted to take advantage, but instead he walked right into the line of fire."

Zhao Ze nodded: "Indeed, he had harassed Weiwei before. With a fate like this, he deserves to die."

"Alright, let's stop talking about these unpleasant things and talk about something cheerful."

The group stopped mentioning the haunted house and started talking about other things, gossip, and ideals, creating a harmonious atmosphere.

The group ate and chatted, and the barbecue lasted for almost two hours before it was almost over, during which time they also grew closer to each other.

Li Da patted his round belly and let out a satisfied burp: "That feels good, this is what life is all about."

Ye Xuan was already stuffed, leaning back in her chair and scrolling through her phone listlessly. Looking at Li Da's expression, she couldn't help but sigh in admiration: "You really can eat."

Xu Yuan yawned and said, "Alright, it's getting late, go back and get some rest."

Zhao Ze glanced at the table, noticing the considerable amount of skewers still left, and worriedly asked, "What are we going to do with all this left?"

"Don't waste it, pack it up and take it away for a late-night snack." Li Da immediately raised his hand and called over the boss, who quickly packed up the remaining barbecue and carried it in his hand.

Everyone got up and walked together to the roadside. The evening breeze was a little cool, which made everyone feel more energetic.

"We're leaving now!"

Reaching the roadside, Wenxiu and Weiwei smiled and waved goodbye to everyone. Since they were not from the same school as Xu Yuan and the others, they hailed a taxi and left first.

After Ye Xuan also took a taxi and left, everyone got into Yang Minghao's car and returned to school.

Xu Yuan leaned back in his seat, gazing at the rapidly receding street scenes and neon lights outside the window, his thoughts drifting away.

Sickness control bureau, patient, disaster, deformed machine...

This seemingly ordinary world seems to be gradually peeling back its veil, revealing its intricate and complex true nature to him.

He sighed softly to himself, "I hope my peaceful days can last a little longer."

While they were pondering, the car came to a steady stop next to the school gate. Everyone got out of the car and walked towards the dormitory building in groups, facing the cool night breeze.

As Li Da passed the C-section teaching building, he suddenly stopped, pointed to the gate not far away, and asked in confusion, "Hey, why is there a warning sign over there?"

"They're probably just doing maintenance, that's normal," Zhao Ze replied casually, without giving it much thought.

The group didn't linger any longer and continued forward. The night was as dark as ink, gradually enveloping the lone warning sign standing in front of the building into shadow.

The figures of the group disappeared completely around the corner. After an unknown amount of time, a series of soft and clear childish laughs suddenly drifted out from the deathly silent teaching building.

"whee……"

The laughter echoed through the quiet night, then vanished as if it had never been heard.
