CHAPTER SIX565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81z3SxBODs
Kim sat in the far corner of the dormitory hallway, her back pressed against the cool cement of the wall. The dim light from the overhead bulb flickered, but the quiet made the silence feel thick—heavy, almost suffocating. Outside, the low hum of the city’s busy streets seemed far away, as if the entire world outside had faded into the distance.565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZ9urUUWga
She was waiting for a moment, just like any other night, when her thoughts could settle.565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDbmPpIFse
But then, a rustle in the shadows caught her attention.565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4je32Oqd2
“Did you hear?”565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoUXZb22sw
The voice was low, careful, like someone was trying to keep something hidden even though they were standing right there, just a few feet away.565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1Lur1I1zb
Kim froze. Her heart picked up speed.565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZKM9Vb0sG
“They were over again,” the voice continued, sounding almost pleased. “They didn’t even make it past the wall this time, but ... they were close.”565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrChYeQOebh
Kim’s eyes widened. Who? She hadn’t heard anything about the boys crossing over again? Usually, it was just whispers or passing glances—nothing serious. But the mention still made her skin prickle.565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO36EABgzIn
“They’re getting bolder,” the second voice replied. “We can't let it slide anymore. They know what happens when the boys come too close to the dorms. What happens when they cross the line.”565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksPqMCKwIM
Kim barely breathed. She had heard stories about the girls who watched the wall—the ones who seemed to always know when someone was lurking too close. The ones who made sure no boy ever made it past the threshold, no matter how hard they tried.565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTY4OczZS4
A girl, Judy, had once told her in passing about an incident two years ago, when a boy had been found near the girls' dorms after dark. No one spoke of it much after that. The boy had been sent home. He’d never returned to school, his name erased from the roster, his face forgotten.565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHeYZJeQx2
But Kim didn’t realize then how deeply that secret ran.565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIa4fVZ0rw
“You think the teachers don’t know?” the first voice continued, mocking. “They see us. They see everything. But they’re scared, too.”565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSUZtk4JaH
Kim's breath caught as she leaned in slightly, listening harder now. Her curiosity, and the unease gnawing at her, refused to let her pull away.565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuTR9msT7l
Kim’s blood turned cold.565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrKowMo5WN
She hadn’t realized the extent of the wall’s power. Not just a physical barrier between schools, but a place where things disappeared. And the students who crossed that line? They didn’t just get caught. They got erased. Wiped from the school history as if they had never existed.565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCl3mdSIAxe
The silence that followed felt heavier than any sound. Kim’s mind raced. Who were these girls? What power did they have over everyone? Were they the ones watching, making sure no one ever crossed the line?565Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIc9YdyjC7h
And why did no one ever speak of it?1234 copyright protection561ＰＥＮＡＮＡywNdJQ7s1B 尼
