The 310 Dormitory: A Room Haunted by the Past

The air in Room 310 of the dormitory was thick with the weight of time, an oppressive atmosphere that clung to the walls like cobwebs. The students, a motley crew of fresh faces and seasoned scholars, had all been assigned to this room, unaware of the ominous history that lay beneath their feet.

On the first night, the tension was palpable. Liu Yang, the tallest and most outgoing of the group, was assigned to the top bunk. As he climbed the rickety ladder, he noticed a faded photograph tucked behind the headboard. It was a picture of a young couple, smiling broadly, with a date written on the back: 1998.

"Who knows what this is?" he asked, holding the photo up for the others to see.

"Leave it be," replied Wang Xiaoyu, a quiet girl with a keen interest in local legends. "It's best not to mess with the past."

The next morning, the group was greeted by an eerie silence. The dormitory was usually bustling with chatter and laughter, but today, it was as if the entire building had fallen into a deep sleep. Liu Yang couldn't shake off the feeling that something was watching him.

The first sign of trouble came during breakfast. A group of seniors walked past their table and muttered something under their breath. When they turned back, the seniors were gone, leaving only a lingering sense of dread.

Throughout the week, the events grew more intense. Unexplained cold drafts swept through the room, and objects would move on their own. The once cheerful atmosphere was replaced by a constant undercurrent of fear.

On the second week, the room's electricity began to flicker, and the lights would turn off for no apparent reason. The students tried to ignore the growing sense of unease, but the situation escalated when one of the girls, Li Mei, discovered a hidden compartment beneath her bed.

Inside the compartment was an old journal. The handwriting was faded and difficult to read, but it quickly became clear that the journal belonged to the couple in the photograph. It detailed a tragic love story, one that ended in a double suicide.

As the group delved deeper into the journal, they uncovered more secrets. The couple, Li Hua and Zhang Wei, had been students at the same college, and their love had blossomed quickly. But when Zhang Wei was caught cheating on Li Hua, she was so consumed by rage and jealousy that she plotted to kill him.

On the night of the intended murder, Li Hua was found dead in Room 310, and Zhang Wei was nowhere to be found. The police ruled it a suicide, but the truth was hidden away, buried beneath the floorboards of the dormitory.

The journal's revelations sent shockwaves through the group. They realized that they were not just tenants of the room; they were living in the shadow of a tragedy. The spirits of Li Hua and Zhang Wei were trapped in Room 310, and they were seeking revenge.

The events intensified. The students began to experience vivid nightmares, and some even saw the ghostly apparitions of Li Hua and Zhang Wei. The dormitory's once-friendly staff became hostile, and the students were shunned by their peers.

Determined to break the curse, the students sought the help of a local spiritualist. The spiritualist conducted a séance in Room 310, and during the ritual, he communicated with the spirits. The spirits revealed that they had one final message for the students: they wanted their story to be told.

The students decided to write a book about their experiences in Room 310. As they worked on the manuscript, they realized that the story of Li Hua and Zhang Wei was not just a tragedy; it was a cautionary tale about the power of love and the consequences of our actions.

The book became a sensation, and the students were hailed as heroes for their courage. The dormitory was renamed "The Haunted Room," and it became a popular tourist destination. But the students knew that the true victory was in uncovering the truth and giving Li Hua and Zhang Wei the closure they had never received.

In the end, Room 310 was no longer haunted by the past. It had become a place of healing, where the spirits of Li Hua and Zhang Wei finally found peace. The students had learned a valuable lesson about the impact of their actions and the power of forgiveness.

As the final chapter closed, the students left Room 310 behind, but the memory of their experiences would forever linger in their hearts. The 310 Dormitory had changed them, but it had also taught them the strength of human resilience and the importance of confronting the past.
