Chapter 44: Knock Knock

  Transtor: der Transtions

  --------

  At the moment, there was er solution, so in the end, Yu Wen stepped forward and found the woman responsible for coordinating.

  The woman looked a little embarrassed but theactfully told everyohat the men's restroom on this floor was out of service for some reason. She added, "If you don’t mind..."

  At this point, Long Tao's face grew even mrim. The sudden sharp pain in his stomach felt like it was being twisted by a knife.

  He probably wouldn’t mind at this point.

  As the oke, she was about to lead Long Tao to the restroom.

  Yu Wen instructed Zhou Taifu and Zhang Yinyin, who was hiding nearby, to go with them.

  Although Zhou Taifu was extremely relut, he didn’t dare to offend Yu Wen, so he had no choice but to follow with a sour face, looking as if he was about to cry.

  Zhang Yinyin, still timid as always, followed behind like a little tail.

  Not long after...

  The final chorus began.

  The girls from the three csses were rearranged and stood interspersed on the choir stage.

  Their singing was at times soft and melodious, at times powerful and strong. Uhe guidance of the ductor, the chradually reached its climax.

  "Click! Click! Click!"

  The sharp sound of high heels striking the marble floor echoed.

  The woman walked quickly. On one hand, she was worried about Long Tao, and oher, she o get back to supervise the rehearsal.

  After all, if anythi wrong, she would be held responsible.

  After turning a er, the woman stopped and quickly pointed ahead, saying, "Just walk straight ahead, and you'll reach the restroom. It’s quite isoted, so not many people e here."

  She turned around, looked at Long Tao, and said, "With your friends outside, you rex."

  "Thank you, thank you."

  "I have things to attend to, so I won’t wait for you." The woman waved goodbye a.

  As she walked, she g her phone, as if there was something urgent.

  After the woma, the atmosphere suddenly grew quiet.

  Zhou Taifu, already unhappy, started urging Long Tao to hurry up.

  "Okay, I'll go in now."

  Long Tao had only taken two steps when he suddenly stopped. He turned around with a pleading expression and said, "Please wait for me outside. Don’t leave before I e out."

  "Got it, got it." Zhou Taifu waved his hand impatiently.

  Only then did Long Tao tinue running forward.

  The restroom was farther than he expected, located at the end of the corridor on the left.

  He turned and shouted toward Zhou Taifu and Zhang Yinyin, "e closer and wait for me outside the door!"

  "Got it, just hurry up!"

  From the other end of the hallway came a slightly muffled response, probably Zhou Taifu's voice, full of impatienbsp;

  Hearing their reply, Long Tao's nerves eased a bit.

  On his left was the women’s restroom.

  That was his real destination.

  He let out a deep breath.

  "Ahere?"

  After a moment, there was no respo was as quiet as death inside.

  Just as he was about to step into the restroom, his right eyelid suddenly twitched uedly, stopping him in his tracks.

  A se from a horror movie he had seen years ago fshed in his mind.

  He had long fotten the name of the movie, but one se was etched into his memory.

  In the film, the female protagonist, following her panion's advice, entered a restroom, only to be killed by a female ghost that had lost its lower body and crawled with its forelimbs. Her eyes were gouged out.

  Her death was horrifying.

  In his own interpretation, nightmares were nothing more than horror films where they were the chosen protagonists.

  So...

  He slowly backed away and turo look behind him.

  Across from him was the men's restroom.

  The men's restroom clearly hadn’t been used in a long time. The light blue iron door was half-open, rust spots showing in pces.

  He turned back. In trast, the women’s restroom looked far better. The door was wide open, and white tiles lihe floor.

  From where he stood, he could even see a sink.

  In the er on the right was a thoughtfully pced bottle of hand soap.

  A rge mirror reflected soft light.

  This overly harmonious se made him feel uneasy.

  After a moment of ption, Long Tao turned and pushed open the iron door of the men’s restroom.

  The door’s hinges let out a long, pierg creak. Onside, he quickly found a stall and squatted down.

  After finishing his business, feeling relieved, he pulled up his pants and prepared to leave.

  But before he could push opeall door, he heard a strange sound.

  "Knock, knock, knock."

  The sound wasn’t loud, nor did it seem very close. Long Tao looked up in fusion, staring at the slightly yellowed ceiling.

  It seemed to be ing from upstairs. He listened carefully for a few seds and noticed that the sound wasn’t chaotic but carried a certain rhythm.

  The rhythm was strange, almost hypnotid Long Tao found his legs unsciously tapping along.

  Drums?

  No, Long Tao thought quickly.

  The sound was heavier than a drumbeat, but he wasn’t familiar with musical instruments, so he couldn’t identify it.

  "Knock! Knock! Knock!"

  The rhythm grew faster, each beat pounding in sync with Long Tao's heartbeat.

  He swallowed nervously.

  The rapid tapping grew clearer and more inteil finally, with a loud *thud*—

  The noise jolted Long Tao awake.

  This st sound was different from all the previous ones. It came from across the hall.

  The women’s restroom!!

  Was someone pying musi the restroom? No, how could anyone be pying musi there? Could it be that thing?!

  That thing was in the women's restroom?

  He couldn’t even bring himself to say the word.

  *Knock... knock... knock.*

  The quick tapping resumed.

  It soon stopped right outside the men's restroom door.

  By this point, Long Tao was trembling with fear. Suddenly, he realized something.

  The building he was iion ly had four floors.

  So, where had that thing outside e from?

  And where were Zhou Taifu and Zhang Yinyin, who were supposed to be waiting for him outside the restroom?
