"Have you heard about it?"

"Heard about what?"

"The mysteries in this campus, of course."

"No, I never knew about it."

"Good, good. I'll tell you all about it."

In this campus, there are seven mysteries. Legends say the seven mysteries have been living in the buildings of this campus for decades. The famous mystery in this campus is the seventh."

"The seventh mystery, Mars, resides on the fourth floor of the campus in the girls' changing room. To summon her, bring three sacred items for a single wish. She will grant your wish and will devour your soul as an exchange."

"Her hair is said to be the smoothest, softest and probably the most wanted material to create wigs. Her hair shines beautifully and when mixed with water, your youth will be extended for twenty years. Proceed with caution as she will never let anyone take it."

"What should I bring to summon her?"

Walking all the way to the fourth bathroom, a female student keeps recalling the items she needs to bring to summon Mars the Seventh Mystery.

"You must bring these three sacred items: a bottle of the most expensive red wine. She loves drinks that are coloured red."

"I used up all of my allowances to buy this just to summon her," the student mumbles as she keeps walking, "I hope it will be worth it."

"Next, you have to bring a blue rose paperweight. Deep blue rose mixed with the red wine gives a lustrous purple; her favourite colour."

"I spent almost 1.2K dollars for that," she continues to mumble as she proceeds her journey.

"Last but not least, bring a box filled with jalapeno chips. It is her favourite snack of all time."

"It's too difficult to find these here or maybe I just don't look at it carefully."

She stops in front of the changing room. She looks up at the sign and lets out a heavy sigh before she walks inside. She slowly closes the door and walks to the bench before she puts her black backpack on the floor.

"After getting the three sacred items, put them on the bench in precise order. Jalapeno, red wine, paperweight."

The student carefully puts the tin of jalapeno chips before putting the bottle next to it followed by the paperweight. She looks up at the fourth stall before she recalls the advice again.

"Now that you have it, say these words clearly."

"Mars, the Seventh Mystery, are you in there?" The female calls as she slowly knocks the door four times. Slowly, the door creaks open by itself and her expression changes immediately. Slowly the door is open, she tries not to look but her curiosity beats her up to the maximum. The door opens wide and there is nothing in there. She blinks a few times and lets out a relieved sigh before she says in relief, "Phew, it's just a legend. It's not real anyway."

"Who says it isn't real..." A hand touches the student's left shoulder. The girl gulps in fear as she starts to sweat coldly. She slowly turns around to see who is behind her and...

"KYAA!"
