"Thump, thump, thump."
Xu Xiangyang and Zhu Qingyue had heard this kind of footsteps in the classroom.
It didn't sound like the echo of soles hitting the ground but rather like flesh colliding with the hard surface of a wall.
The dull thuds echoed in the corridor in front of the bathroom, drawing nearer bit by bit, passing the washbasins, moving past the doorway, and extending inward.
Xu Xiangyang's pupils contracted slightly.
That guy… Was he coming inside?
...
He had turned off the flashlight, and the lights outside had already been extinguished early on. However, Xu Xiangyang quickly noticed that the inside of the bathroom was not plunged into oblivious darkness.
The reason this small space was not completely submerged by the night was the presence of a skylight on the wall at the back, which let in the pale moonlight.
Their stall was located at the far left side, the place where one could simply raise their head to see the skylight.
