Chapter 72): Can I Go?
The black sun totem was reflected in her pupils, and a sense of discomfort rose in Lu Yibeis body.
It seemed to exude a magical power, and that power couldnt wait to infiltrate into her body.
Her eyes seemed to be resisting the force, and there was a burning pain. Coming back to her senses, she quickly looked away from the totem.
A sense of enlightenment washed over herthis must be Daydreams life and what happened not long before she died.
Unexpectedly, before she lost herself in Shihekou High School, she encountered people from the Eclipse Society.
Could the tragedy at the high school be planned by this seemingly indifferent girl?
But where is she? Did she die too?
With doubts in her mind, she calmed down and continued to play the role of Daydream, quietly watching everything that happened before her eyes.
Deliberately avoiding her gaze upon the totem, she locked her eyes on the contents of the chat.
The person Daydream was chatting with was named Doctor.
[Hey. Free for a chat?]
[Sure! Whats up]
Daydream seemed quite familiar with this Doctor in person.
[I saw you discussing a trial of guts with other members on the forum. Where are you going?]
[We havent decided.]
[Are you interested in visiting Shihekou High School? I heard that its very active there.]
[Im not the organiser.]
[I have to ask Pharoah first.]
[Hell agree for sure. Can I join you if he accepts?]
Seeing the Doctors response, Daydream was frustrated and tapped rapidly.
[Im not in charge of making decisions.]
[Your word is king. Can I go?]
[Are you a bot?]
[I just told you no.]
After hitting enter, she immediately closed the chat and blocked Doctor.
After a few seconds, another chat box appeared on her desktop, and the text written on it made her hair stand on end.
[Can I go?]
Daydream stared at the computer screen and typed out a reply with trembling hands.
[Who are you?]
[Can I go?]
The Doctor gave the same responses again and again, and the once warm and cheerful room felt chilly and eerie.
She hurriedly turned off her computer and got into bed.
When some people feel afraid, all they need to do is jump into bed and cover their heads and body with their blankets, and it seems like all evils could be warded off.
The warmth of the blanket enveloped her, and a sense of drowsiness washed over her unknowingly.
Buzz! Buzz!
Daydream was awakened by the vibration of her mobile phone under the pillow.
Perhaps it was because she slept with wet hair, but her hands and feet were a little cold, and her head was groggy as if she had a bad cold.
In her daze, she took out her phone from under the pillow and glanced at the message. She was stunned for a moment, and her pupils shrank violently as her heart sank beneath the ground.
It was a text message from an unknown number.
[Can I go?]
She threw her phone across the room, and the light on the screen gradually dimmed. Soon, it vibrated again.
Daydream tucked her head under the pillow in a panic and pressed her hands tightly around her ears. The buzzing of her phone seemed to penetrate her ears nonetheless, and it drove her insane.
It stopped abruptly.
She waited anxiously for a few minutes and poked her head out of her covers.
Sitting on the edge of her bed in shock, she stared at her phone. At this very moment, she wanted anyone to accompany her.
Her boyfriend was half a city away, and her mother was also out of town.
Whats worse was that she did not have the courage to touch her phone at all, for fear that she would receive that strange message again.
After sitting by the bed in silence, she heard her cell phone ring in the darkness.
Ring!
It rang until it stopped, but the call connected on its own.
Silence.
It was strangely silent, and Daydream calmed herself down, only for a strange, hoarse voice to echo through the phone.
Can I go?
Ah!
Hearing the voice from the phone, the girl screamed, tossing her doll towards the phone. She hurriedly dashed towards the phone and stomped on it violently until she could no longer hear the voice.
Her chest violently heaved as she eyed her now-crushed phone.
Did did I go too far?
Convincing herself that she had gotten herself a stalker, she shook her head and walked towards the bathroom.
Daydream stared at her own reflection. The warm water gushing out of the faucet created a layer of mist on the mirror.
She splashed warm water vigorously on her face, and she couldnt help but chuckle at her ridiculous behaviour.
Im just scaring myself, she thought. I just need some sleep.
She gently drew a smiley face on the mirror.
However, the moment she drew the smile, the lights in the bathroom went out, and she was plunged into the darkness.
Her heart sank to the floor, and she staggered back a few steps.
Her eyes adjusted to the darkness, and her eyes fell upon the mirror.
Her body shuddered violently as a string of words appeared in the misty mirror.
Can I go?
The girl rushed forward frantically, wiping off the mist on the mirror with a swipe of her hand. The mist condensed into water droplets, and her figure was reflected in the mirror.
Staring at her crazed self, she brought her hand up to rub her eyes, only to realise that her reflection did not mirror her movements.
She panicked and wanted to back away, but the figure in the mirror darted forward and grasped her shoulders painfully.
Her body was pulled violently into the mirror, and the mirror shattered into a million pieces. The countless shards slashed at her porcelain cheek, and her cheek was stained with blood.
She hurriedly backed herself into a corner, and she could hear countless whispers coming from the shards of the mirror.
Can I go?
She screamed, and soon she was enlightened.
Hence, with a soft whisper of You can, everything came to an abrupt end.
Like the end of a stage play, darkness struck.
The third time she opened her eyes, the girl sat down in front of her computer, unscathed. She opened up her group chat, with the newest topic of [Trial of Guts] being pinned to the chat.
[How about we go to Shihekou High to play the plate deity game? c:]
Pharoah replied not long after.
[Why there? Its not a good place.]
It seems like Pharoah had no interest in going there.
[Is that true?]
[I heard that it was very active I just thought it would be suitable for our trial of guts.]
It was almost an hour after Daydream sent her message, but Pharoah has yet to respond.
[Are you there, babe?]
[If its you, I guess its fine We can go to Shihekou High. Ill get more people to join us]
[Brazil has joined the group.]
[Bright has joined the group.]
[Witch has requested to join the group.]
[Daydream has accepted Witchs request.]
