The next morning, Shuyi wakes up in the middle of the night. He's not sure what's going on, but he's pretty sure that it's because she's trying to kill him. He asks the class president why he'd do such a stupid thing. The class president tells him that there's a "curse" in town: if you hang yourself, there'll be a stone underneath your feet. The only way to break this curse is to kill yourself. Shuyi says he'll pretend to hang himself and then smash the stone so that no one will know that he killed her. He says that if he dies, no one's ever going to know that they caused his death. Big bro is all, "Dude, I don't know why you're bothering me with this stone. I'm dead, so I can just rest in peace" . The big bro asks what the heck is wrong with him, and Shuyi explains that he has "sleep paralysis" , which is basically a form of "night hag." He wants to use this stone to break the curse, but it'll take a lot of cussing.
