My roommate suddenly heard her boyfriend calling her from downstairs. She answered, and the next day she was dead. The dorm mother was terrified, saying it was a demon stealing souls, and warned us never to answer. But that night, the dorm mother herself called me from downstairs: "Rosie, run!" 1 It was finals week, and everyone was pulling all-nighters to study. At 3 AM. Roommate Hailey suddenly answered towards the window: "Yeah!" The rest of us were startled. She said she heard her boyfriend calling her from downstairs. We were all confused. How could we not hear someone shouting in the middle of the night? Just then, Hailey said "Yeah" again. Saying that, she walked towards the window, opened it, and actually jumped out. 2 The next day, Hailey didn't make it. She died. The police checked all surveillance footage and found that Hailey's boyfriend had never been there. In the end, it was ruled that Hailey committed suicide due to anxiety. But we all knew Hailey was possessed. Our roommate Ashley (the eldest) was so scared she went straight to live with her boyfriend. Chloe (the third oldest) and I also quickly packed up, planning to go back home for a while. Unexpectedly, just as we walked to the school gate, Chloe suddenly acted like she was possessed too, suddenly answering towards the road: "Yeah! Coming!" Saying that, she walked towards the middle of the road and was hit by a car and killed instantly. I was dumbfounded. It was obvious someone was calling her, deliberately luring her into the middle of the road. I was scared and ran quickly. At this time, the dorm mother suddenly grabbed me from behind, her face full of horror, saying: "Don't go any further. Something has been following you. It will be unhappy." I was scared out of my wits instantly. Immediately after, Ashley's boyfriend called, saying Ashley was also dead. While they were eating, Ashley suddenly said to an empty seat next to her: "Yeah! Coming right now!" Then she stabbed chopsticks into her mouth, piercing through her head. My legs went soft, and I collapsed on the ground. 3 I begged the dorm mother to tell me what was going on, but she hemmed and hawed, daring not to speak. I knocked my head on the floor repeatedly until the dorm mother cried and helped me up, saying: "All three of them encountered a demon stealing souls. I didn't expect that thing to come back after so many years." But what exactly that thing was, and why it only harmed people in our dorm, the dorm mother dared not say anymore. She just repeatedly told me, no matter what I hear in the middle of the night, do not answer. Surviving three days would mean I'm safe. 4 I could only go back to the dorm and tough it out. I first taped my mouth shut, then put on headphones and turned the volume to the max. I controlled all possibilities of my soul being stolen, curling up under the covers and staring straight at the ceiling. Just like this, I lasted until dawn, hearing nothing. I went to find the dorm mother with excitement, but unexpectedly, she was dead. Her head was stuck in the fan, shredded by the blades, leaving only a bloody neck. The colleague who came to take over cried loudly, saying the dorm mother must have said something she shouldn't have and was revenged by the demon. Then she cursed me as a jinx, saying I should be the one to die. Other students also cursed me as a dirty thing attracting evil, locking me in the dorm and not letting me come out to harm people. I was full of grievances and cried loudly. Just then, I suddenly heard the dorm mother calling me from downstairs: "Rosie! Run!" I shivered and was about to run when I suddenly realized: Could this be the demon mimicking the dorm mother's voice to call me? Because that's how Hailey jumped off the building. And when the dorm mother was alive, she also told me not to answer whatever I heard. Why would she call me from downstairs now? Thinking of this, I quickly covered my ears and buried my head under the covers. Unexpectedly, the dorm mother's voice became louder, feeling like it was right next to my ear. "Covering ears is useless. Pierce your ears with an eyebrow pencil, and you won't hear it." Immediately after, my body became uncontrollable. "Harder! Harder!" The voice urged constantly. Seeing that I was about to pierce my eardrum, I was about to break down. Suddenly I saw a Sanskrit Heart Sutra on the bookshelf. I pulled it out subconsciously and pressed it against my ear. Instantly, a loud bell-like sound rang out. Everything went quiet. Only the sound of my heart beating at 220 beats per minute. 5 That Sanskrit Heart Sutra was given to me by Professor Wang, who taught us philosophy. He practiced both Buddhism and Taoism and must have a way to save me. I hurried to Professor Wang's small courtyard. He was meditating in the Zen hall. Before I could speak, Professor Wang said he knew everything and asked me to show him my birth date characters first. Unexpectedly, after reading it, he frowned, saying I had a "ghost fate" in my horoscope and was targeted by that thing. But I also had too many inner demons, destined not to escape this calamity. I panicked and quickly knelt down to beg him to save me. Professor Wang sighed: "Sigh! Everything is debt. When can it be paid off?" I didn't understand what he meant. Professor Wang didn't say more, just signaled me to tie up my hair and expose my ears. He said he would use cinnabar to write a Heart Sutra around my ears so that the demon's soul-stealing voice couldn't enter my ears. As long as I survive tonight, I can live. I asked him what exactly that demon was and why the dorm mother said that thing came back. Professor Wang paused and said, if I want to live, don't ask too much. The dorm mother's death is a lesson. I dared not make a sound again. 6 Professor Wang burned incense and started writing. The cold brush tip constantly stimulated my ears. It felt like every stroke was scratching my most sensitive parts, and soon my lower body had burst its banks. But I felt very strange. How could such a sacred classic as the Heart Sutra arouse such great lust? It was definitely not as simple as physiological stimulation. My body trembled constantly, and I wanted to scream several times. Professor Wang told me to hold it in, saying this was the Heart Sutra suppressing my inner demons. Being without desire makes one strong; a calm heart brings stability. I had to nod, holding it in. Fortunately, it was finished quickly. Professor Wang told me, after going back, do not bathe, do not have lustful thoughts. And do not believe anyone's words. Because once that thing knows I have the Heart Sutra drawn around my ears, it will borrow a body to send words, trying to make me wipe it off. At that time, even the Great Luo Immortal (a high-ranking deity in Taoism) won't be able to save me. I kept it firmly in mind. 7 I hurried away from Professor Wang's courtyard, feeling a bit more secure. Just then, a voice came. "Why is there an Evil Lust Curse written on your ears?" I shivered. Looking back, it was Lucas, a junior who had been pursuing me for a long time. "Wipe off the Evil Lust Curse quickly. Someone wants to harm you." I panicked. Professor Wang just told me that the demon would borrow a body to confuse me. Didn't expect it to be so fast, let alone possessing Lucas. I turned around and ran without a word. Unexpectedly, Lucas grabbed my wrist, gripping it painfully. "The Evil Lust Curse is to attract demons to copulate with you. Either you will conceive a ghost fetus, or you will be refined into a ghost sex slave. Wipe it off quickly." Hearing him say this, I was instantly thrown into confusion. Because since I came out of Professor Wang's place, my lower regions had been flowing non-stop. But I've known Lucas for more than half a year and never heard that he knew these Buddhist and Taoist arts. The more specific he was, the more I suspected he was possessed by the demon. I pushed him away and ran back to the dorm in one breath. Slammed the door shut. But my heart was still flustered and uneasy. I immediately took a selfie. Then compared it with the paper Sanskrit Heart Sutra. Fortunately, exactly the same. But I still felt uneasy. Because my body was still reacting constantly, making me blush. So I searched online for the official version. I was dumbfounded instantly. Not a single word was the same from beginning to end. But if this isn't the Heart Sutra, why did it save my life last night? Just then, Lucas sent me a picture. It was a Sanskrit Evil Lust Curse in an ancient book. I compared the first three characters and was dumbfounded. They were exactly the same. But how could Lucas have these things? I was instantly thrown into chaos. After thinking about it, I decided to go directly to Professor Wang for verification. At the very least, he wouldn't dare harm me in broad daylight.
