Scared Every Night, Becoming The Target Of A Creepy Psycho - Chapter 14

Chapter 14 – The “Possessed” Senior

Chen Sheng trembled as he bolted for the dorm door.

But at some point, the door had silently shut. No matter how hard he twisted the handle, it wouldn’t open.

With his back pressed firmly against it, eyes wide in fear, his scalp tingling, he could only stare at the “senior” holding that piece of clothing. There was a crazed obsession on the senior’s face as he fixated his gaze on him. In the reflection of those pupils was his own terrified figure, backed up against the dorm door.

“Be good, okay, Chen Sheng? Put on the clothes I picked for you. Let your beloved senior help you wear them—with these very hands. Look how well I treat you, hmm?”

“Get away from me!”

Chen Sheng finally broke down, crying out in terror. Tears streamed from his eyes, his whole body soaked in cold sweat. He shook uncontrollably, almost as if in shock.

But there was nowhere left to run.

He could only watch helplessly as the “senior” approached. He reached out to push him away but hesitated—afraid of hurting the real senior, because this was still his body.

The moment the “senior’s” hand touched him, a bone-deep chill spread through him—familiar and sinister.

And the strength was terrifying. Chen Sheng was yanked forward and thrown onto the bed.

That thing was possessing the senior—and now, it was on top of him.

No matter how Chen Sheng struggled, it was useless.

He heard a rip—the sharp sound of fabric tearing.

His exposed skin instantly prickled with goosebumps from the icy cold, like being plunged into a frozen lake.

Chen Sheng cried and shouted in horror,
“What do you want?! Get out of the senior’s body, you monster! Get out! Get out!”

But no matter how much he screamed, it did nothing.

In fact, the more he yelled,

The more excited the “senior” seemed to become.

“Chen Sheng, I told you—your tearful, frightened face… I like that too. Cry more. Cry for me…”

As those words fell,

Chen Sheng’s eyes widened in disbelief.

Because he saw that thing—possessing the senior’s body—was reacting to him…

The “senior’s” expression grew more and more ecstatic.

A long time passed.

Chen Sheng heard “him” let out a satisfied sigh, then pick up the clothes and say,
“Don’t move now, Chen Sheng. Let me help you put them on.”

Chen Sheng was already overwhelmed by what had just happened—his expression no longer held just fear, but also fury and disgust.

That thing had actually used the senior’s body to…

He glared at the “senior” with clenched teeth.

He wanted to punch him—hard.

But he couldn’t bring himself to do it. He didn’t want to hurt the real senior’s body.

All he could do was clench his fists, enduring the cold hands dressing him—deliberately brushing over his skin, making his body tremble uncontrollably.

Once the clothes were forcibly put on,

Chen Sheng couldn’t take it anymore. He wanted that thing gone. He felt sick, revolted.

Especially the scent left on the clothes—it made him nauseous.

Just as he was about to curse at the “senior,”

The chilling cold vanished in an instant.

And when it faded—

The senior’s face returned to normal.

He looked at Chen Sheng with confusion and shock,
“Junior… I… what…?”

He seemed completely unaware, like he had no memory of what had just happened.

After saying that, he quickly stepped down from the bed,

His voice filled with guilt,
“I’m so sorry, junior. I don’t know what came over me. I… I didn’t do anything to you, did I…?”

The senior stammered, apologizing repeatedly.

Hearing that only made Chen Sheng cry harder.

Tears poured down even faster.

In truth, he should’ve been the one apologizing.

It was his fault—he had insisted on staying in the dorm tonight.

He had gotten that thing’s attention again, dragged in his friend Zhang Jun, hurt Zhang Jun’s roommate, and now—he had brought harm to the senior.

Chen Sheng broke down, sobbing. All his emotions surged at once.

Not just fear and disgust—but guilt, remorse, and regret.

“Junior… did I do something to you? I swear I didn’t mean to. I really didn’t know…”

“No, this isn’t your fault.”

Chen Sheng stood up, wiped his tears, and said,
“This is all my fault. You didn’t do anything, senior. I should’ve moved out today. I’m sorry—I dragged you into this. I’m sorry, senior. This isn’t your problem—it’s mine. All mine.”

Chen Sheng choked out the words, and then he heard the senior speak again.

“Why, Junior Chen? What happened? Why were you going to move out today? What do you mean you dragged me into it? You didn’t do anything.”

This time, Chen Sheng didn’t hide it anymore.

He told the senior the truth.

Even if the senior didn’t believe him, he had to say it.

Of course, he didn’t tell him that the thing wanted him in that way—just that something non-human was in the dorm.

After he finished explaining, the senior said,

“So, according to you… I was possessed by something in the dorm, and just now it tried to hurt you?”

Chen Sheng nodded, his face pale.

The senior frowned and replied skeptically,
“No way. I don’t believe in that kind of stuff. I admit—I don’t know what just happened to me—but it’s impossible that something like that exists.

Anyway, it’s getting late. Time to shower and sleep. You’re moving out tomorrow, right? I’ve got time—I can help.”

Chen Sheng had expected him not to believe it.

Still, the thing had already shown up once—it probably wouldn’t come again tonight.

He gratefully said,
“No need, senior. I don’t have much stuff. I can handle it on my own.”

“Alright then. You shower first. I’ll go after you.”

Chen Sheng nodded.

He couldn’t stand the clothes he was wearing anymore—the scent clung to his skin.

But considering how obsessed that thing was with him wearing those specific clothes,

Chen Sheng had no choice but to grab a different outfit from the wardrobe.

Anything was better than what he had on now.

Even though they were still the senior’s clothes… they’d been worn while possessed.

He took the clothes and hurried into the bathroom.

He scrubbed himself hard—again and again.

Finally, he dried off, dressed, and came back out.

But even with the change of clothes, there was still a chill clinging to them.

Chen Sheng quickly dove into his bed, curling up under the covers.

After a long time, the senior finally came out of the bathroom.

Chen Sheng discreetly watched him for a while. Once he was sure the senior hadn’t been possessed again, he finally relaxed and opened his phone.

There were no new messages from Zhang Jun.

And those earlier texts hadn’t come from him either.

Chen Sheng felt miserable. Zhang Jun was his only friend.

He sent a long message apologizing to Zhang Jun.

Then, he put his phone down. But despite closing his eyes, sleep wouldn’t come.

Across the room, the senior was also quiet. Chen Sheng couldn’t help glancing over—he saw the senior looking at his phone. When the senior noticed, he asked,

“Can’t sleep, junior?”

“Yeah,” Chen Sheng replied. “Don’t mind me, senior. Should I turn off the lights?”

The senior put his phone down and looked at him.
“Are you having insomnia? I’ve got something for that. Works really well—I take it myself when I can’t sleep. Want one? Otherwise, you won’t have any energy to move out tomorrow.”

Chen Sheng thought about it—it was true. So he said,
“Alright. Thank you, senior.”

“You’re welcome.”

The senior got up, went to his bag, and took out a small bottle. He poured out a pill, then grabbed a bottle of water.

Chen Sheng quickly sat up and took the pill and water. After swallowing it, he thanked the senior again.

“I’ll turn the lights off now.”

As the senior’s voice rang out, the dorm room light switched off.

To be fair, the medicine worked well.

Chen Sheng’s head soon felt heavy and cloudy—and before long, he drifted off to sleep.

But after he fell asleep—

In the darkness, footsteps echoed.

In the faint light, a tall figure could be seen.

It was the face of the senior Chen Sheng admired—Gu Zhen.

But in the next instant—

Senior Gu Zhen transformed into a twisted shadow.
