Chapter 2 The Mysterious Phone Call
Chapter 2 The Mysterious Phone Call
"Whoosh—whoosh—whoosh—!"
The sound was so eerie, it was as if someone was breathing in your ear with a wet mouth.
Lin Yue only listened for less than three seconds before goosebumps crawled all over her arms.
He rubbed his arms.
The sound of the wind?
Was Wen Ning making the call in a very windy place?
He then asked again, "Hey? Are you Wen Ning?"
There was no answer on the other end of the phone.
Only the call time was slowly passing by.
00:07
00:08
00:09
······
I waited for a while.
There was still no sound of anyone speaking, only the unsettling sound of the wind.
Seeing this, Lin Yue simply hung up the phone.
Looking at the number in the call log, he carefully compared it and said, "Could I have dialed the wrong number? But this is the number the system gave me."
I can't figure out why.
He simply made a second call.
"Sizzle—"
The familiar sound of electricity.
The call was answered shortly afterward.
This time, however, Lin Yue did not call out to the other side, but instead listened quietly with her ears perked up.
"Whoosh—whoosh—whoosh—"
The eerie wind continued to blow.
The place opposite... seems to be in a fairly open area.
Even though someone answered the phone.
But why is no one saying anything?
The more I listened to the sound of the wind, the more uneasy I felt.
After hesitating for a moment, Lin Yue simply hung up the phone again, staring at her phone and the system in deep thought.
He thought to himself, "This so-called 'Goddess of Beauty Conquest System,' could there be something wrong with it? Or is it simply... am I going crazy?"
After all, the mental health test just now showed that there was only a 98% probability that I wasn't mentally ill.
Although it looks quite safe.
But doesn't that also mean there's a 2% chance you have a mental illness?
Lin Yue scratched her head, a look of worry and doubt on her face.
After struggling for a long time, I finally had to accept reality.
Sigh, what a disappointment. I thought I'd struck it lucky and gotten some kind of cheat code.
Instead of receiving a notification from the system, did I receive a suspected mental illness notice?
I think I should go to the hospital for a check-up tomorrow.
In case something really goes wrong with your brain.
Lin Yue rubbed her cold hands, just as she was about to go back to her dorm to sleep.
His phone suddenly rang at that moment.
"Ring ring ring ring—!"
The sharp ringing wasn't loud, but it was very abrupt.
Lin Yue was caught off guard and startled.
He looked down and saw the name "Wen Ning" clearly displayed on the screen.
This phone call made him even more confused.
What happened?
Did they really dial the wrong number and end up coming to our door?
Lin Yue hesitated for a moment, but still answered the phone with a sliver of hope.
"...Feed?"
This time, he asked very cautiously.
But the other side was the same as before.
"Whoosh—whoosh—whoosh—"
A strange, damp sound kept drilling into his ears.
It made him feel very uncomfortable all over.
Lin Yue frowned and quickly hung up the phone.
This phone call... is starting to get a little creepy.
For some reason, as Lin Yue stood in front of the dormitory, he felt that the temperature downstairs was getting lower and lower. Even though the seasonal cold had just passed and the temperature should have been gradually warming up, his hair stood on end.
Add to that the strange wind sounds from the three phone calls just now.
This made him feel uneasy from the bottom of his heart.
However, what was unexpected was...
The fourth phone call came again.
"Ring ring—"
Lin Yue's expression changed, and she looked at her phone.
It was the same "Wen Ning" calling again.
This time, Lin Yue didn't even listen and hung up the phone directly.
But the phone had only been silent for a second.
The bell rang again, like a persistent curse.
"Ring ring—"
Lin Yue gritted her teeth and cursed under her breath, "Damn it, is this never going to end?"
After hanging up, the number was immediately added to the blacklist.
He thought to himself, "This way, the other side won't be able to break in no matter what."
Just when Lin Yue thought she could finally relax a little...
"Ring ring—"
The ghostly ringing sounded again.
The caller was still the familiar "Wen Ning".
Lin Yue felt that something was amiss.
Could it be that the phone's blocking function is broken?
He gritted his teeth, pressed and held the power button, and simply turned off his phone.
The phone screen went black, and then there was complete silence.
Lin Yue looked at her phone. From a physics perspective, the phone was turned off, so the other party absolutely couldn't make those unsettling harassing calls anymore.
But he didn't know why.
My eyes were glued to the screen, and I couldn't relax for a moment.
I stood in front of the dormitory for a long time.
The phone remained completely silent.
The calm, reflective screen above even reflected Lin Yue's tightly furrowed brows.
In the empty corridor, only Lin Yue's own rapid breathing could be heard.
Another minute passed.
He finally breathed a sigh of relief, thinking the farce was finally over...
"Ring ring ring—!!"
The terrifying ringtone pierced the silence of the switched-off phone.
Lin Yue's expression changed drastically, and her eyes widened in shock.
The two names "Wen Ning" at the top of the screen, which were slightly reddish due to the reflection, were once again in his hands.
Depend on!
Even when the phone is off, calls can still be made.
The phone number provided by this system is definitely wrong!
Previously, one could explain away any abnormal situation by saying that the phone was broken or that the wrong number was dialed.
But this is a supernatural event where the phone can still be dialed even when the computer is off.
Even a three-year-old child would understand that something is extremely wrong.
Lin Yue's heart pounded wildly, as if it were about to burst out of her chest.
He frantically tapped the hang-up button, his fingers so hard they seemed to pierce the screen.
But this time it was like seeing a ghost; it just wouldn't hang up no matter what it did.
The phone kept ringing, and cold sweat poured down Lin Yue's forehead.
In his desperation, he thought he might as well just smash the thing.
Although I spent a lot of my own money when I bought this phone.
But in this situation, it's clearly not the time to be stingy with money.
And after smashing the phone, you have to go back to the dormitory immediately. When there are more people around, you immediately feel safe.
Without hesitation, he held the phone high above his head and slammed it to the ground with all his might.
"Thump—!"
The force was so great that the phone even bounced a few times on the floor.
However, what Lin Yue found strange was that the phone's casing didn't have a single scratch.
That's absolutely impossible. With that kind of strength, you could smash a brick. Lin Yue thought to herself.
"Ring ring—"
The faint yet terrifying ringing continued.
"Sizzle—"
Suddenly, a sparking sound came from above.
The dim yellow overhead light at the dormitory entrance suddenly went out at that moment.
The entire corridor was plunged into darkness.
The strangeness became even more terrifying.
