Seeing Surin walk out of the school gate through the back door, Xia Xiaoyu hesitated for a moment, unsure whether to continue following him.
To Xia Xiaoyu, Surin seemed strange. At midnight, the surroundings were enveloped in eerie silence, with only the night wind howling past, carrying a bone-chilling cold that pierced into her heart.
After a moment of hesitation, she made up her mind; no matter what, she had to find out what Surin was doing out so late tonight.
Xia Xiaoyu stepped forward, carefully trailing behind Surin while keeping a safe distance to avoid being noticed.
Behind the university was not a bustling city but rather mountains, and there was a tomb located nearby. Therefore, at night, the area became eerily quiet.
This was also the reason why the back door of the university remained unlocked; after all, no student would be bored enough to go out at night to gaze at the tomb on the mountainside.
It wasn't just a single path leading from the campus to the tomb; there were actually two diverging paths.
Surin exited the school gate but did not head towards the tomb; instead, he took the other path.
Xia Xiaoyu, following behind, secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After all, if Surin had headed towards the tomb, she would never have dared to follow him at this hour.
Now that Surin had changed his route, Xia Xiaoyu felt slightly hesitant but ultimately decided to keep following him.
After about ten minutes, Xia Xiaoyu stood frozen in place as Surin's blurred figure continued moving ahead.
In front of her stood the Bell Tower, exuding a chill and coldness under the night sky.
The Bell Tower was lifeless, devoid of any vitality, especially on this night, which added an eerie quality to it.
Surrounded by trees, it felt as if this Bell Tower had suddenly emerged from the mountains, its strange atmosphere filling the space with a heavy tension.
While Xia Xiaoyu was lost in thought, Surin had already entered through the doors of the Bell Tower!
Inside the doors, it was pitch black; even the moonlight could only illuminate the steps that emanated an eerie and desolate aura.
Withered branches and fallen leaves stirred a sense of coldness under the moonlight, leaving Xia Xiaoyu feeling somewhat at a loss.
She had no idea what lay within, nor did she understand what Surin was doing inside!
This hesitation did not last long; Xia Xiaoyu soon made up her mind and stepped forward with steady footsteps into the Bell Tower…
At the moment her foot crossed the threshold, darkness surged in an instant, enveloping Xia Xiaoyu's world.
She stood still for a moment, feeling a brief discomfort before regaining her senses.
From the outside, it was indeed completely dark inside, but even with just the moonlight filtering through from outside, Xia Xiaoyu could still vaguely see the outlines within.
Dim and shadowy, the entire Bell Tower held an ancient aura; perhaps it was due to its age or perhaps because there were certain things hidden inside.
A hand hidden in the darkness began to tremble unconsciously as it followed Surin to the Bell Tower. A sense of urgency grew stronger.
Is this something that ordinary people possess?
The events of tonight were too strange, and as Xia Xiaoyu continued to follow Surin, she increasingly felt that something was off.
It was as if she had overlooked an important detail.
However, at this moment, Xia Xiaoyu couldn't afford to ponder the plot further because a crisp sound echoed from the second-floor stairs of the Bell Tower.
Tap tap...
At midnight, combined with the enclosed space inside the Bell Tower, this sound reverberated throughout the entire structure.
