The Dark Town

Weird people

Authors POV

Wei ying woke up early morning. He had a nightmare in which he saw that criminal torturing him. He went towards the table and took a glass of water and drank it.

Wei ying,'that's scary. I wish I never sat in his car. Nothing like this would have happened. I need to buy clothes and books . Whatever few things I had I left it in my bag.'

Wei ying goes in his bathroom  and washes his face. Then he takes money, his phone and goes out .
Ofcourse he decided to walk all the way to mall and return. Firstly he lost his trust in any stranger and secondly he didn't wanted to waste money. He was not a rich person.

While he was walking on the road he felt very uncomfortable.
The people who were passing nearby him very looking at him weirdly.
Wei ying glanced at himself to make sure if anything was wrong or if their was bloodstains on his shirt. But he didn't found anything wrong.

Wei ying,"why they are looking at me like this. Their stares make me so uncomfortable. "

He entered a mall after walking for 15 minutes. He brought some clothes, books and some necessary items . While returning he brought a mask and hat so that people don't stare at him. He didn't wanted people to look at him.

Wei ying," is it the tradition of this town to wear hats and masks? Maybe I was not wearing them that's why they were staring at me."

He retuned into his dorm. Organised the things he brought.
Then he went in the bathroom to brush his teeth.

After that he went to have breakfast from the canteen.
There were already few people eating there breakfast . The place was very quite. Sometimes they talked among themselves but not in loud voice. Wei ying found it very weird. He remembered how in his previous school the canteen was always noisy. Sometimes staff used to scold children to be quite.
Ignoring the fact wei ying took his food went towards the table where no one was there.
He ate his food quietly. He noticed that few children were glancing at him from to time.

He ate his food and was about to go upstairs to his dorm but someone stopped him.
The same boy who offered him a set of clothes last night.
Huaisang, "always were goggles while you go out."

Wei ying gave him a confused look.
Wei ying, "why???"

Huaisang, "just do as I say."
Saying this the boy ran upstairs.

Wei ying was too tired to think about these things any more. Ignoring these weird advice's he went to his room.

He took a nice bath . Changed the bandage of his wound and wore his new clothes. Then he washed the clothes he was wearing.
After doing these he went to his table and opened his new books.
He was a  first year medical student.
Coming to such a good university was one of his dreams and he succeeded in it. All now he wanted was to do very well in his four year course and become a successful doctor.
With new hopes and dreams he started his work.

He spent his whole day studying on a his table and chair skipping his breakfast and dinner.
It's not that he was not hungry but he enjoyed studying so much that eating became a less important thing to him.
Getting up from his chair at 11 pm he walked towards the canteen.
There he just bought some biscuits. He ate a packet of biscuits and drank a bottle of water.
Then he went to sleep . Just like before he didn't put off the light. He was now afraid of dark. Whenever he was in dark he felt like that criminal was near him and  would come to him any moment.

Lan zhan,"let's go to our university. "

Lan zhan said while heading towards his car.

Xue yang,"I understand that our prey belongs to our university but why we have to go today. Today is Sunday. There is no class."

Lan zhan,"why are you becoming stupid day by day."

Xue yang,"what do you mean?"

Lan zhan,"he will be in university dorm."

Xue yang,"why is it necessary? Can't he be at some relatives homes. Or at private hostels."

Lan zhan glared at his friend for being very stupid.

Lan zhan,"Last night he wanted to go to XXXuniversity. Why would he go to university at late night  if he doesn't live in dorm? Stop roasting my brain now otherwise I will forget you are my friend."

Xue yang rolled his eyes and murmured,
"Friend? Its just for namesake. Sometimes I feel I am servant without being paid."

Lan zhan looked at him and said,
"Are you saying something?"

Xue yang faked a smile and said,
"No no "

Lan zhan,"Get in."
Lan zhan sat on driver's seat and Xue yang sat next to him.
They headed towards their university.

That one car was known by each and every child in the whole university . Everyone feared that car and it's owner.
It was a blessing that the owner of the car never attended the college other than exam days . But still he always got the first place in his class. He was in his third year. He was a topper in his university.
The students during exams were more scared of him than their exams.
But today was the unexpected visit of that person.
The children who already saw his car from the window closed there doors and windows. The news circulated to everyone in the university within a minute .
Lan zhan went to the school office.

There were some staff sitting doing their work. Upon seeing Lan zhan they immediately stood up. Fear could he clearly seen on their face.
Lan zhan, "I want the details of a new student who came last night . You have a minute."

Saying this Lan zhan took a comfortable seat and was busy on his phone.
Tension could be seen on staffs faces. They immediately found the information of the new students who came last night.
The work was done within 45 seconds.
Three new students came yesterday. Lan zhan immediately recognised his prey as soon he saw his photo.

Then he got up and went out of the office. Xue yang also followed him.
Lan zhan,"room no. 18"

Xue nodded to him.
They both went upstairs for their new victim.
