"Dormitory Demon"
At 11 p.m., our dorm advisor suddenly pinged everyone in the group chat: "Return to your dorms immediately and lock your doors. There’s a fire in the hallway electrical system, and staff is working on repairs."
I didn’t understand—why would we need to lock the doors if it was just electrical maintenance? Besides, our dorm still had power. Two minutes later, a close friend from another dorm messaged me privately: "There’s a maniac in the building killing people randomly. Do not open the door!"

I thought she was joking and replied, "Ping, are you serious?" Then, Ping, who sleeps in the bunk above mine, said urgently, "Go lock the door right now. My boyfriend just called me—there’s a murderer in the building."
