After waiting for a while outside, Lin Xiao Yan was unable to bear it any longer and asked, "Su Min, when you went in...did it move?"

Su Min felt the coldness on his back disappear. He rubbed his face, returning back to a calm and collected state.

"Yes," he replied after leaving the bathroom-But her movement was weird.

When she looked up for the last time, the expression on Liu Lili's corpse was clearly one of horror. However, there weren't many things in this world that could scare a corpse.

Su Min suspected that the culprit was that ghost.

The way Liu Lili drowned in the bathroom was awful enough to make a person choke.

Not to say that it was too much, it was just simply too rare considering the strange position she died in.

"It's better to wait for the police to come, okay?" Lin Xiao Yan tensely said.

Su Min looked at her pale face and bloodless lips. She seemed to be scared out of her mind.

Is it really alright for the female protagonist of a horror movie to already be this scared?

Su Min asked, "Was anybody in the bathroom when Liu Lili died?"

The three girls shook their heads.

They were all sleeping in bed. How could they be together with Liu Lili when she left to the bathroom? If it wasn't for Lin Xiao Yan discovering her body, they feared they would not be in the know until morning.

Su Min hesitated, "Her body looked as if it was forced underwater."

It was impossible for normal people to die in the bathtub like this.

But this was a horror movie. If a ghost was in the bathroom the moment she died, everything would make sense.

Lin Xiao Yan's complexion became even paler.

Nobody knew what to say.

The sirens of the police cars could be heard, and several officers came in moments after.

They paused for a split second when they saw Su Min.

Although Su Min and the rest arrived after the crime was committed, they were still brought in for questioning. After a series of standard questions, they were immediately released.

Su Min wasn't as afraid as the others. In any case, if worse comes worst, he could just choose to leave the film.

Much later, the sun peaked out to signify the wee hours of the morning. Even with the death of a student, classes still proceeded as normal.

When he woke up from his sleep, it was already 10 o' clock. Getting off his bed, Su Min quickly changed out of the nightgown. He originally planned to throw it away, but after a moment of thought, he chose to just let it be on the bed.

A hesitation arose as he approached the bathroom.

Last night, there was a perverted ghost who groped his butt. Perhaps it was currently crouching somewhere nearby, waiting for him to walk into its trap.

But in the end, his face still needed to get washed. Besides, it was now broad daylight; the sunshine illuminated everywhere, a far cry away from the scene of last night.

He walked inside and saw that the candle, apple, and peel were already thrown into the trash can.

Thanks to the roommate who tidied things up.

As he smeared toothpaste on his toothbrush, Su Min was a little diffident. Hesitantly, he looked up to the mirror and began to brush his teeth.

He had a habit of looking at the mirror while he brushed his teeth. Today, however, one look made him think back to last night, when he and that ghost were staring into the mirror together.
