This was, after all, the Girls' Dormitory, and the hallways were quite lively at night. Occasionally, I would see long-legged girls practicing their splits in their pajamas. When they spotted a big man like me wandering around the Girls' Dormitory, they weren't shy at all; instead, they praised me for being bold enough to fool the watchful eyes of the dorm matron and sneak in.
I couldn't be bothered with these energetic girls. In this campus where the male-to-female ratio was one to ten, men were like sheep, while they were the real predators.
I reached the fifth floor and entered Room 505.
Taking out the key given to me by the Dormitory Matron, I pushed open the door. It creaked loudly as I stepped inside, revealing a dark room before me.
I gripped my Peach Wood Sword and walked in. My hand brushed against the wall until I found the switch, and with a thud, I turned on the light.
The room was a mess.
Tang Yi's and Wang Cuihua's belongings were mostly tidied up, but the items of the two girls who had died earlier were still scattered across the floor.
As I stepped further in, I took a sniff; there was a faint fragrance in the air—not from perfume, but rather that of incense from a burner used for offerings.
I waved my hand dismissively; perhaps someone had come here to pay respects to those two deceased girls.
I carefully searched through the dormitory but found no suspicious signs or any trace of the Red-Clad Female Student. The only thing I discovered was some incense ash on Wang Cuihua's bedside.
After pondering for a moment, I decided to wait patiently. So, I sat down in the dormitory, turned off the light, and quietly waited.
With a creak, the door of the dormitory opened in the darkness.
I looked towards the entrance; a figure dressed in red stepped inside.
I was jolted back to reality, but I wasn't scared; at this level, ghosts hardly fazed me anymore. "You finally made it," I said.
"Ah!"
The woman at the door suddenly screamed, and then with a thud, she fell to the ground.
I was taken aback for a moment, then realized that what had entered wasn't a ghost, but a person.
I quickly turned on the light and saw a long-legged girl lying on the floor. She was wearing a red nightgown and holding a tablet in her hands. Her face was pale, clearly frightened by my presence.
I felt frustrated; I had been waiting for a ghost, but instead, I got a classmate in a red coat. I hurriedly crouched down and pinched her philtrum, but it didn't seem to work. It looked like she had been so scared that she had stopped breathing. I had no choice but to help her up and perform artificial respiration, compressing her chest before attempting mouth-to-mouth.
The girl was in her nightgown and wasn't wearing anything underneath. Thankfully, I was a decent person; all I could think about was saving her and nothing else.
After five minutes of artificial respiration, I figured I might have bruised her left breast, but finally, she gasped for air.
I sighed in relief, only to look up and find dozens of girls surrounding me. They were all holding cameras, snapping pictures of me while posting them on social media.
"Hey, what are you doing?" I exclaimed.
"Pervert! Impressive skills you have here at our Art School's Girls' Dormitory," one of them shouted.
"Yeah, bold move! I'm impressed," another added.
"Want me to let you stay overnight? We have a few female perverts in our dorm who would be perfect for you," another teased.
Just then, Qin Hai and the Dormitory Matron rushed over. Qin Hai was in her police uniform and shouted, "What’s going on here? Everyone get back!"
A group of people pointed at me, accusing me of being a pervert who was harassing a female student.
Qin Hai paused for a moment, looking at me on the ground. My hand was still resting on the woman's chest, and I froze for a second before realizing what was happening. I quickly explained, "No, it's not what you think! I was performing artificial respiration! This girl almost died; look, she's doing much better now."
The girl on the ground got up, gasping for air. When she saw me, she shouted, "Pervert!" and ran away.
I felt completely frustrated; even if I had a hundred mouths, I wouldn't know how to explain myself.
Qin Hai kicked me and said, "Come on, let's go back to the station." With that, he pulled me downstairs.
Once we reached downstairs, Qin Hai couldn't stop laughing. He held his stomach and burst into laughter. "Song Fei, I never realized you were so desperate! If you really want a girlfriend, just come to me. I can introduce you to several in just a minute—long-legged ones and even policewomen. What do you think?"
"Get lost!" I snapped back at him.
Feeling dejected, I hurried back to my dorm.
The next morning, I was awakened by the sound of my phone ringing.
I picked it up and saw that it was Liu Yiyi calling.
I felt a bit excited and immediately answered with a chuckle, "Liu Yiyi, are you missing me? Want to treat me to a meal?"
On the other end of the line, Liu Yiyi laughed and said, "You're quite the celebrity now! I would love to treat you to a meal; do you have time?"
"Huh? What do you mean?" A bad feeling crept into my mind.
Liu Yiyi giggled and replied, "Just check out the East Sea Morning News, and you'll see. You've become quite famous! A friendly reminder: wear sunglasses when you go out today." With that, she mentioned she had to get back to work and hung up the phone.
I jumped out of bed and grabbed my phone, searching for "East Sea Morning News." Sure enough, the headline read, "Bold Pervert Breaks into Art School Girls' Dormitory; School Security is Nonexistent." As I opened the article, I saw a video of myself crouching on the ground with my hand on a girl's chest, surrounded by a crowd of female students in nightgowns...
Damn it, reporters nowadays have no boundaries. Can't they investigate thoroughly before reporting? My reputation and innocence!
Frustrated, I closed the video and quietly pulled out a hat and a pair of sunglasses. Great, I really have to wear shades just to go outside...
After having breakfast, I took a taxi to the police station. Upon finding Qin Hai, I learned that the case had already been closed.
I was taken aback and looked at Qin Hai. "How can it be closed already?"
Qin Hai sighed. "What else could we do? Now that we know it's Demon Slayer, there's no point in keeping it open. Oh, by the way, Wang Cuihua was traumatized at the hospital yesterday; she's dropped out and gone back home..."
"Uh-huh." I nodded, but there were still many things I didn't understand. For instance, why after so many years of silence did this ghost start killing again? And why did the Red-Dressed Ghost appear at a hotel when she clearly died in the dormitory? Unless Wang Cuihua and her friends had offended that Red-Dressed Ghost Senior?
I shook my head. Since the case was closed, I might as well relax. I had enough of my own problems and didn't want to delve deeper into this case.
I found Chen Shan in the office, and he quickly got me a gun.
I wanted to practice shooting.
Practicing with Chen Shan was straightforward but costly; each bullet at the shooting range cost ten bucks, but with a Police Badge, it was half price. The gun he provided was a Glock Pistol—decent performance with a magazine capacity of eighteen rounds and reasonable stopping power. However, it cost thirty thousand.
"Thirty thousand!" I looked at Chen Shan, feeling a pinch in my wallet.
Chen Shan looked at me helplessly. "Hey, Song Fei, you’re not expecting me to cover the cost of the handgun too, are you?"
I quickly replied, "Alright, alright, Brother Chen. Thanks anyway. Boo..."
I asked Chen Shan to front the money first, and once I received the funds, I would pay him back.
After leaving the police station, I headed to the café. I was feeling quite frustrated; I used to be a wealthy person with assets worth a hundred thousand, but now I had spent fifty thousand on charms and thirty thousand on a gun. Not to mention the costs of practicing shooting in the future.
It seemed I needed to quickly revamp this café.
However, I didn’t have much time to manage the café since I still had classes to attend, and finals were just around the corner.
Well, I would have time during the summer vacation. For now, I would put off thinking about reopening the café and hiring staff. The most important thing was to protect myself.
I tidied up the café and stored Sister Wang's belongings in the freezer. To be honest, I really missed Sister Wang.
After cleaning up, I went to school to inquire about Professor Zhao Jian. His students were unreachable, but no one knew why.
I sighed in relief; Zhao Jian was probably dead in that ancient tomb.
Back at my dorm, I carried the remaining body of the Fox Spirit to the café and started cooking it in a pressure cooker. Right now, money wasn’t my priority; survival was what mattered most.
The body of this Fox Spirit was a valuable resource that I absolutely couldn’t waste. I decided to extract every last bit of nutrition from this Fox Demon Meat. Not only would I eat the meat, but I would also gnaw on the bones, drink the bone broth, and finally grind the bones into powder to use as health supplements.
At noon, after drinking the bone broth and eating the Fox Demon Meat, I felt a wave of warmth wash over me. My spirits lifted, and I felt stronger.
I headed to the gym at school for a workout. It would be great if I could meet a martial arts master and become his disciple, but it seemed there were no reliable experts around—none were more dependable than Su Mingyue.
Just as I was training my arm strength, I received a call from Qin Hai.
Seeing his name pop up on my phone made me think that my gun had finally been sorted out.
"What's wrong?" I picked up my phone and asked, "Is it about the gun?"
"It's not about the gun. It's still regarding that case with the Red Pajama Female Student from last night. A girl has gone insane and won't leave the police station. She claims there's a ghost trying to kill her and is begging us to save her. You know her; her name is Gao Qing," Qin Hai replied.
"Gao Qing? I don't know her," I said, puzzled.
Qin Hai exclaimed, "You beast! You groped her chest last night, and now you say you don't know her? Hurry up and come to the police station; the captain needs you to handle this case."
As soon as I heard that, I understood. The girl named Gao Qing was the one I had scared unconscious last night. When I performed artificial respiration on her, someone took a photo, and it ended up in Donghai City news.
I wondered how this girl could be encountering ghosts since she wasn't from Dormitory 505. After thinking for a moment, I quickly took a shower and headed toward the police station.
