The Stench

Yang Chen and Lee Xue ran out in a hurry. The three of them stood in the corridor and looked down. They saw nothing but darkness.

"Where are the footsteps?"

"I really did hear them! It sounded like someone was jumping down the corridor!"

"You're just scaring yourself, come help us."

Lee Xue dragged Wang Dan into the last room while Yang Chen stood outside for a moment. He repeated the thing that Wang Dan mumbled about earlier. "Jumping?"

The three ransacked the last bedroom. Most of the trash on the bed was made from foam and wooden blocks. It looked dirty and messy, but none of it would produce any weird smell.

"Was this room purposely left open to store trash?" Lee Xue used the sleeve of her shirt to block her nose. "But why does that bed have a mattress on it? Who would sleep in an environment that is as dirty as this?"
