My Neighbor's Daughter Episode 5: A Cry for Help from My Phone

"Ding dong." In the dead silent corridor, my phone vibrated violently again, the sound piercingly loud in the empty space. Trembling, I picked up my phone. The screen still showed an unknown number. I wanted to just turn it off, but for some reason, my fingers uncontrollably tapped on the voice message that had just arrived. Static crackled from the speaker, sounding like interference from a magnetized tape. A few seconds later, a familiar voice echoed in the corridor. It was my own voice. "Help me! I'm trapped in Room 404! It's so dark here, and they're biting my feet!" The me in the voice message was crying hysterically, accompanied by the crisp sounds of flesh being torn and bones being gnawed in the background. I was struck as if by lightning. This voice was definitely mine, identical in tone and breathing pattern, yet here I was, standing perfectly fine in the corridor. Just as my mind was reeling in chaos, a line of text suddenly popped up in the chat window: "Turn around, look behind you." I stiffly turned my body. At the far end of the corridor, a faint green emergency exit light had turned on at some point. Under the light, a figure dressed in the exact same clothes as me was hanging from the ceiling, back turned towards me, feet dangling. Their body swayed gently left and right in the eerie wind.
