After the evening study session, the sky had completely darkened.
Students gradually left the school, and the classroom became increasingly empty. However, Tang An'an remained alone in her seat, holding a book in her hands, her gaze somewhat distant.
She instinctively raised her hand to tuck a stray lock of hair behind her ear. In the process, she accidentally brushed against the wound on her forehead, and a sharp pain shot through her, causing her to gasp.
In her mind, the terrifying scene from that morning flashed like a revolving lantern. Lu Ziqi's menacing face, his fierce eyes, and the image of him grabbing her hair and violently smashing her head against the bed leg were as vivid as if they were happening right before her.
Lu Ziqi's vicious words echoed in her ears: "Tang An'an, listen carefully. If I see you with Zhu Mingxuan again, I will pour concentrated sulfuric acid down your throat!"
Tang An'an shuddered all over and hurriedly fumbled for another exercise book, trying to dispel the fear that gripped her heart.
At that moment, a small red object quietly slipped from the pages she was flipping through and landed on her desk.
Filled with confusion, Tang An'an leaned down to pick it up. As she focused on it, her face turned pale with fright; the object nearly slipped from her fingers—it was a piece of human fingernail!
The nail was about two centimeters long, its color somewhat dull, with cracks at the tip, emanating an eerie aura.
Tang An'an fought to suppress her inner terror and carefully turned the nail over to examine it. Just then, a drop of bright red liquid fell with a "plop," landing squarely on her open workbook.
In that instant, Tang An'an felt a chill run down her spine, a wave of coldness shooting from her feet to the top of her head.
Feeling anxious, she quickly glanced around. The large classroom was now empty and eerily silent.
The fluorescent light overhead flickered erratically, emitting a buzzing sound as if it might extinguish at any moment.
Tang An'an desperately covered her mouth, suppressing a whimper in her throat to prevent herself from screaming. With all her strength, she hurled the chilling Red Nail out of the window.
At the instant the nail flew out, a heart-wrenching scream suddenly pierced through the corridor. The sound was sharp and mournful, filled with endless pain and terror.
Immediately after, Tang An'an heard a series of rapid breaths resembling those of an asthmatic, the noise eerily echoing in the stillness of the night.
Her hair stood on end, and her scalp tingled. Summoning all her courage, she burst through the door and sprinted down the stark white concrete path of Beiyue High School, her footsteps echoing in the empty campus.
As she approached the dormitory building, a shadow suddenly darted out from beside a window like a ghost, plunging into the nearby flower bushes and vanishing without a trace.
Tang An'an's heart nearly stopped from fright as she frantically knocked on the dormitory door.
When she reached the entrance, it suddenly struck her that Lu Ziqi was still inside, sending another wave of fear coursing through her.
However, her terror of that Red Nail ultimately overpowered her fear of Lu Ziqi. Taking a deep breath, Tang An'an cautiously pushed open the dormitory door.
As soon as there was a crack, a hand silently emerged from behind the door and firmly covered her mouth.
"Shh!"
In the dim light of the corridor, Tang An'an recognized that it was her good friend Chen Yao who had covered her mouth. Her racing heart gradually settled back into place as her tension began to ease.
Chen Yao gently pointed to Lu Ziqi's bed and whispered, "She's asleep. Don't be afraid, come sleep over here with me."
