" Wh...What is that?"
Both Qi Qiao and Fan Jiayi were from the countryside and they were really superstitious which was why when the sound of a woman laughing coldly came from behind, they could not help but shudder in fright before sneaking as closely as they could to each other.
Fan Jiayi was trembling from head to foot while Qi Qiao was hiding behind the latter, neither of them had the courage to face what was inside the last cubicle.
" I don't know and I don't want to know," Qi Qiao said as she turned on her heels and then tugged Fan Jiayi with her such that the two of them will be able to run out of the restroom but as soon as she turned around and ran to the door of the restroom and pulled it open, she realised that it was shut close.
" W..What is this ?" Fan Jiayi who was behind Qi Qiao could not stop her trembling and her trembling only got worse when she realised that they were locked inside the public restroom, just what in the world happened!?
Qi Qiao did not have the energy to bother Fan Jiayi, she was currently busy trying to pull to the door of the restroom with every bit of strength that she had in her body but no matter how much she pulled the door it remained stuck.
" I ca..cannot open it!" Qi Qiao grunted as she pulled the door but couldn't open it no matter how hard she tried, in the end, she dropped her hands on her sides helplessly and then turned to look at Fan Jiayi, "It's not opening."
How can Fan Jiayi had the heart to coax her? She glared at Qi Qiao and snapped, " Get away." She pushed Qi Qiao to the side and then started to tug the doorknob which seemed to have sworn that it was not going to budge.
Just as Fan Jiayi was going to curse, a squeaking noise came from the end of the cubicle, as if someone had pushed it open. The two girls were petrified with fear but they still turned to look at the cubicle which was at the end of the restroom.
The sound of their heartbeats echoing in the empty public restroom made the entire situation even scarier. Qi Qiao, who was hiding behind Fan Jiayi pushed the latter in front of her which made Fan Jiayi turn and reprimand the latter, " What are you doing? Why are you pushing me?"
" You go and see what is inside that cubicle…"Qi Qiao was a scaredy cat when it came to dealing with things like this, she did not know whether or not there was really a ghost inside that cubicle but she was too scared to check it out which was why she wanted Fan Jiayi to go and see what was hiding in the cubicle/
When Fan Jiayi heard that Qi Qiao was pushing her ahead all because she wanted her to go and check inside the cubicle, she was so angry that she wished she could slap the girl behind her. But before she could say anything she heard Qi Qiao say,
" You don't forget that my mother is your mother's senior if I want… I can make things difficult for your mother."
Qi Qiao knew that the friendship that she shared with Fan Jiayi was only a plastic one which was why she was not at all bothered about threatening her.
When Fan Jiayi heard the threat which Qi Qiao gave her, she gritted her teeth. This was why she was always suppressed by Qi Qiao, even though Qi Qiao's mother was not in a powerful position, she was still her mother's senior given that her mother joined the factory only a few months ago while Qi Qiao's mother had been working in the factory for years.
If Qi Qiao really wanted to make things difficult for her it would not be difficult for her to do so.
In the end, even though she was upset with Qi Qiao, she could not do anything other than follow what she asked her to do. She turned to face the cubicle whose door was still open and then walked towards it with trembling steps but just as she walked past the three cubicles which were ahead of the last one, the entire public restroom fell into darkness as the sound of a woman laughing echoed again in the public restroom.
This time no scream echoed in the restroom instead the sound of something heavy falling on the ground came from the inside.
Xua Ying Yue who was playing the record of the woman's scary laughter paused the soundtrack when she heard the sound of something falling inside the restroom. She then waited for a few minutes before pushing the lever which was outside the public restroom and turned the power on causing the lights inside the public restroom to light up.
Only then did she push herself from the wall against which she was leaning and then walked past the tree which was hiding her by covering her in the shadows. Xua Ying Yue arrived in front of the restroom door and then unlocked it, and just as she expected the two girls who acted haughtily in front of her, were now lying on the floor with their dresses spoiled.
" This is all you had huh?" Xua Ying Yue muttered as she walked towards Qi Qiao and then dumped a vat of cold water on her head spoiling her dress such that twigs and dried leaves stuck to the fabric. She did not do much given that she was only repaying Qi Qiao for all the trouble that she had given her.
After she was done dealing with Qi Qiao, she walked over to where Fan Jiayi was but did not do anything to her given that the girl only knew how to follow Qi Qiao's lead instead she walked to the last cubicle and then untied the strings which she had tied to its knob and then turned to peek at the back door which was just next to the last cubicle.
Her gaze turned to look at the unconscious girls as she scoffed, " Idiots."
