It's five o'clock. I'm off duty. Dai Li glanced at the clock, then rose from his chair. He stretched out his body, then began to pack his stuff.

Ring, ring, ring… The telephone rang right as Dai Li was preparing to leave. He frowned with boredom. Who would want to receive extra work when it was time to go back home?

"Hello, this is the duty room," Li answered the phone.

"Is that Dai Li? I'm Lao Zhang from the general department. I checked the duty roster, today is your turn," the person said from the other side.

"Mr. Zhang, this is Dai Li speaking. What can I do for you?" Dai Li recognized the voice. Li had been borrowing training equipment from him.

"Well, Lao Qian, who is in charge of the training room on the third floor in our laboratory building, has food poisoning. He was sent to the hospital an hour ago, but he didn't lock the door. You know we have a lot of expensive equipment in that room. Could you clean up the room and lock the door? I will find someone to bring the keys to you. The guy would be there in around twenty minutes. You can keep the keys with you," Mr. Zhang instructed.

"OK. I will go," Li said. He packed his stuff then moved towards the gate keeper's.

It actually took Li more than half an hour to finally get the keys. The man apologized for being late, and explained that it was due to a traffic jam.

Daytime was short in the winter. In addition, Qingcheng City was an east coast city, so it was already dark. Dai Li had to walk towards the laboratory building under dim street lights.

Burr. So cold today. Dai Li shrugged as a cold wind blew. The coldness had more to do with his psychological impact. Since there were no students on campus, walking alone in an empty school led to an illusion of chilliness.

The building was hiding in the dark, so Dai Li couldn't see much. He used his phone as a light source as he entered the building. It was quiet, and pitch black. Li felt nervous. He fumbled in the dark for the light switch, but no matter how hard he pressed down on the switch, it didn't work. He was still standing alone in the dark.

Which one is broken? The switch or the light? The property department should come and fix it. Li could do nothing but complain. He kept holding his phone and headed to the third floor.

The biggest room over there must be the training room. I heard that that room was remade from a conference room. He moved closer and found that the door was unlocked.

This is my first time here. Where is the switch? Li shined his phone on the wall, hoping to find the switch.

"Wuwuwuwu…" A voice suddenly rang. It sounded like a whine.

What's that? Is someone pulling? Li was taken aback by the sound. He had goosebumps all over.

"Wuwuwuwu…" Someone was whining again.

I heard before that this place used to be unmarked common graves, is it haunted now? Or perhaps there was once a girl committed suicide by hanging herself in this room? Li's mind was full of ghost stories.

Come on, don't be afraid. Forget about that! Darn, if I had known that I would be here tonight, I would not have read those ghost stories earlier today. Why didn't I read novels that were full of positive energy like 'Almighty Coach?' Li couldn't stop himself from thinking back to those horrible plots. He felt terrible.

I gotta go. One more second, let me lock the door! he thought. But he was frozen on the ground. His legs began to shake.

Lock the door, lock the—Where is the locker? Aha here you go! Li grabbed the locker in his hand. The next second he was about to lock the door.

"Stop!" A female voice suddenly rang. Dai Li looked towards the voice. There stood a girl.

"Banshee!" Li dared not to take a closer look. He ran away.

Dai Li escaped from the building. He ran all the way to a street light and finally stopped. After a while, he gradually calmed down.

Did I overreact? Was that a real person? But it is winter break, nobody should be here right now. Li looked back nervously.

At the same time, his phone rang. it was a strange number.

"Hello!" Li immediately answered.

"Is this Dai Li? I'm Lao Qian from the third floor training room!" The speaker used a low voice. He sounded like he was weak.

But such a voice made Li delirious with joy. He was scared a minute ago, but now that he heard a human talking to him, to him the man's voice was the sound of heaven.

The speaker continued, "I have food poisoning, and now I'm lying in bed having an intravenous drip. I can't go back to school tonight. Have you received the keys yet? By the way, I forgot to tell you before that Feifei Yu has been training in that training room recently."

"Feifei Yu? She has the same name as that world champion," said Li.

"It is her," said Lao Qian.

"What? Are you serious? That Feifei Yu? The one who broke the world record, who got the career Grand Slam?" Li immediately asked.

"Yes, that is her," Lao Qian answered.

"How come she is here? She is the world champion!" Li said in a doubtful voice.

"Don't you forget that Yu is on our provincial team. She has an affiliation with the provincial department of sports," Lao Qian told Li, gathering breath. "The provincial sports team arranged this. They sent her alone here for some physical fitness training, and made us keep it a secret. Therefore, few people know about this. I guess they do so to avoid external interruptions. As a world champion she does have some privileges. Moreover, our training equipment is comparable with the ones they have in the department of sports."

"No way! Feifei Yu is here!" Li suddenly recalled that the banshee he had just met looked similar to Yu.
