Saturday night. After a meal with his family just now, Li Heng walked into his room and began another mundane revision session, not until he saw the ring and began inspecting it
Li Heng: "I haven't even got the chance to look at it"
He looked at it firmly, the ring itself have various symbols and words with a unknown language engraved on it
He checked with his phone on it. No results, only several greek photos and bilibili history and conspiracy content creators appeared
…
Li Heng: "Great" He hesitated for a while before putting the ring on and nothing happened
Li Heng: "God, this is awkward…" He muttered to himself and placed the ring back onto the table as he began his revision session
As time went on, he felt his body more heavy, like something keeps lifting on him. He tried to shake off this weight however he can't and he went to bed earlier than he expected
(What is wrong with me?) He thought to himself before his exhaustion taken over him
Sunday morning, he woke up as tired as usual, fortunately for him, his limbs had fully returned to normal however not for his head.
Li Heng got up and started preparing for the day. Later, he got a message from Qi Chen Xian.
'Li Heng, wanna have a revision session at starbucks? All of us are going and we'll be ordering cookies as well'
Li Heng paused, he doesn't want to go but his temptation on cookies said otherwise
Li Heng: "I don't want to go but...…Cookies"
Later, Li Heng was already at Starbucks with his laptop and study equipments alongside his friend group
Tang Yong Sheng: "I knew cookie was a great idea! HAHAHA!"
Qi Chen Xian: "Glad to see you made it, Li Heng"
Li Heng: "No…"
Chen Xian then placed the cookie set onto the table and Li Heng doubt of regression slightly faded as he munched the cookies like a kid who got his favourite meal
Ren Yen: "Li Heng, I want to ask…Are you ok recently?
Li Heng: "I'm fine…Just something on my mind recently"
Chen Xian: "You're sure? You haven't talk much to us since the funeral so we thought that…"
Li Heng: "I'm fine...I'm heading to the bathroom for a sec"
Although the others were still slightly worried however despite their worrying thoughts, Li Heng still went to the bathroom
At the bathroom, Li Heng looked himself in the mirror. Black dull on his eyes, slightly pale white skin and red eyes despite his rest
He shooked it off with water splashing onto his face from the sink repeatedly until he noticed something shining from one of the room's toilet bowl. He froze before quickly rushed out of the bathroom
Li Heng: "What the…" He muttered to himself before accidentally bumping into someone
Li Heng: "Sorry…"
However the man didn't react much, he only nods before entering the bathroom
…
After the encounter, Li Heng walked back to the table and the others immediately seen his weird expression
Tang Yong Sheng: "You good?"
Li Heng: "No, there's a camera in the men's bathroom"
Hearing this, all of them and some of the nearby tables briefly paused for some minutes before Ren Yen reacts
Ren Yen: "What? A camera? Are you sure you aren't hallucinating?"
Li Heng: "I'm not! There's a camera at one of the front rooms, I'm not hallucinating!"
Li Heng then paused and looked around where everyone was looking at him with a weird expression
Qi Chen Xian: "Hang on...Librarian!"
After Chen Xian called, a librarian immediately rushed over to the table and looked at the group
Librarian: "Yes-Yes?"
Tang Yong Sheng: "My friend said there is a camera in the men bathroom, we want to check it out now"
Librarian: "But there's no camera in the bathr-"
Before the librarian finished, Li Heng got up and rushed towards the bathroom which was unexpected for all of them as they rushed to follow him
Ren Yen: " Hey, wait up!"
However Li Heng didn't stop and immediately entered the bathroom to the stall however there was no camera but rather a bit creaks on the toilet bowl.
Li Heng: "What? But…"
Librarian: "Sir-Sir. There was no camera in the bathrooms, the government doesn't allow this regulation"
Li Heng: "No, it was there before!" He pointed at the bottom of the toilet bowl
Tang Yong Sheng: "…Li Heng, let's get you back to rest, shall we?"
Li Heng from his embarrassment and guilt nodes slowly before apologizing to everyone after he left.
At the second floor of the library, the same two men from before was sitting at the window seat, looking down at Li Heng and his group
??? 1: "Do we get pay enough to be his bodyguard? He only gets himself into trouble"
??? 2: "Save it, miss's orders. You want to switch?"
The first man didn't respond and the second man reveals the camera in the bathroom before crushing it
