Auren started practicing the meditatio in order to calm his fears.

Bang! The window that auren had closed was blown open by the wind and the light in the dorm was instantly extinguished. There was no a single bit of light in the dorm and the scene outside the window was also dark as ink.

The curtain flapped loudly in the wind until it was practically rolled up by the strong gust.

Auren sat on the bed without moving. he didn't open his eyes and just silently chanted, this sir doesn't see anything, there's nothing, not scary at all, not scary~

he could smell a stench of rot and it felt like his entire body had been plunged into icy cold water. His head was starting to become dizzy, but he gritted his teeth and kept his eyes closed as he revolved his energy to fight off this chill.

"Ssss, sss…" There was a low whispering sound, then the sound of a woman's sobs that sounded both distant and very close by at the same time. he felt something wet and warm drip onto her. It felt like blood.

However, he kept his eyes closed even when the temperature in the room plunged even more. he felt like he was standing naked outside during a snowstorm. His entire body started shuddering uncontrollably.

"Why won't you open your eyes and look at me? Why!? Why…" The voice was filled with cold, bitter resentment.

Auren revolved the energy inside his body and did his best to ignore the spirit.

After a long time, he finally opened his eyes and saw that it was already day. The window was wide open and the curtain swayed slightly in the wind.

It was another beautiful morning. There didn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary about the dorm at all. If it weren't for the numb sensation coming from his entire body, he would've thought that everything last night was a hallucination. he had actually meditated for an entire night.

he yawned, feeling exceptionally tired, then got down to open his drawer only to discover that a neatly folded garment was inside his drawer. It was a crimson wool sweater.

Auren's brows lifted. This didn't belong to bella. The original host didn't have such pretty clothing. The color of this garment was a beautiful eye-catching red that gave off a cool and elegant feel.

Who left their clothes in bella's drawer? His first thought was that it was Zenis clothes since it suited her style.

he reached out to grab the garment, but the moment his hand made contact with it, he realized that something was off. The garment felt moist and sticky. When he sniffed at his fingers, there was the smell of rot.

he instantly realized that it had been the spirit that had placed this in his drawer. he sensed something cold approach him. As that chill seeped into his skin, a thought suddenly arose.

It's such a beautiful outfit, why not try it on?

Auren picked up the sweater. The place where the sweater had been now had a small puddle of muddy water. The sweater was also very heavy as if it was soaked with water.

he laughed coldly, then grabbed scissors and started cutting the sweater into pieces.

The temperature in the dorm dropped sharply and a fierce wind blew into the room and swept up the pieces of the garment, causing the room to be filled with the disgusting smell of rot.
