"Ah!"

I screamed repeatedly and ran out of the bathroom door frantically.

Under extreme fear, my brain was completely unable to think, losing direction and running around like a headless fly, not knowing where I ran to.

"Where are you going? I'll go with you." The voice behind me was getting closer.

She reached out her hand trying to grab me.

I can't remember how long I ran, and a room similar to a storage room appeared in front of me.

Without thinking too much, I quickly dodged into it with a flash.

The room was dark with no lights on, pitch black, with only a hint of moonlight coming in from the window.

I groped in the darkness and found a flat spot to sit down, covering my mouth, not daring to breathe.

It was quiet all around, I could only hear the sound of my heart pounding.

A few minutes later, there were rustling sounds outside the room, as if many little people were running on the ground.

The sounds were getting closer to me until they stopped at the entrance of my room.

"An An, I found you."

Suddenly, Lu Qing's voice came from outside.

It's over.

Despair filled my heart, but I still didn't make a sound.

The sounds outside didn't continue, and the footsteps gradually faded away.

Oh, they were just trying to deceive me.

I decided not to leave for now and wait until dawn to go down the mountain.

But sitting was very uncomfortable, I always felt something poking at my back.

I reached out and pulled it back, but it didn't move.

I was puzzled, so I turned around to see what it was.

As soon as I turned my head, I was met with a pale face, her head was deformed, blood gushing out, her dark eye sockets staring at me, her mouth wide open.

This sudden face scared me out of my wits, and I screamed.

But just as I was about to scream, my mouth was covered by a pair of hands.

"Don't make a sound!" It was Jiang Yi.

Seeing that it was him, I breathed a sigh of relief, thankfully, it was a person.

I nodded at him to indicate that I wouldn't speak anymore, and he let go of his hand.

The sound I just made alerted something outside, and the footsteps returned.

"An An, is that you?"

"Are you inside?" A gloomy voice sounded as if it was right next to my ear.

"Stay inside, don't move, I'll go out and lead them away."

He said, and then transformed a paper talisman into a small person who looked exactly like me and rushed out.

Just as he went out, I saw a group of doll-like little people following closely behind him.

Strange, where is Luo Qing?

I peered through the crack in the door several times, but I couldn't find Luo Qing's figure.

"Where are you?" I murmured to myself.

"Are you looking for me?"

As soon as the voice sounded, I felt like crying but no tears came out.

Yes, these ghosts always like to suddenly appear behind others.

I turned my head and saw that her body was facing away from me, but her head was rotated 180 degrees to face me, her mouth opening and closing as if she was saying something.

I wanted to hear more clearly, but my head suddenly became dizzy, and I passed out.

Close
