Suddenly, Xia Xiaoyu's heart tightened. At this moment, she probably realized that it was Surin's footsteps she heard.
Strangely, the sound of footsteps echoed so loudly that it felt as if the entire Bell Tower was resonating with them, giving Xia Xiaoyu an extremely surreal sensation.
She didn't think too much about it; in her panic, the urge to understand why Surin had come here so late overshadowed her growing fear.
In the dimly lit Bell Tower, she groped her way forward. The darkness enveloped her surroundings, and even though she could barely make out the vague outlines around her, Xia Xiaoyu remained extremely cautious.
The Bell Tower gave her a sense of unease; with every step she took, she treaded carefully.
The Bell Tower was similar to others, with floors and stairs made of wooden planks—very simple and rustic.
However, at this hour, it sent a shiver down Xia Xiaoyu's spine. She was clearly frightened, but the innate curiosity that girls possess drove her to follow.
Thus, she continued to feel her way up to the second floor.
Tap tap...
Even though she was wearing doll slippers, each time her feet landed on the wooden stairs, they produced an eerie sound in the otherwise silent and frightening night.
The footsteps themselves were not strange; what felt odd to Xia Xiaoyu was the surrounding environment. The Staircase Entrance was completely devoid of light.
Although she had her phone with her, Xia Xiaoyu did not intend to use it for illumination because any light emitted from the Staircase Entrance would be extremely conspicuous. No matter how many levels Surin was above her in the Staircase Entrance, he would easily spot her.
Xia Xiaoyu had not figured out one thing: despite having followed Surin for so long, she had not noticed anything at all, moving forward like a wooden figure.
Moreover, now that everything around her was shrouded in darkness, Xia Xiaoyu's thoughts became much calmer. She pondered a question—why was she moving so slowly inside the Bell Tower?
Why did Surin disappear as soon as she entered the Bell Tower?
Could it be that she was able to see everything in the dark, or was it something else?
Before Xia Xiaoyu could think too much, a strange sound of footsteps echoed from the Staircase Entrance on the second floor.
Tap tap...
The sound was orderly and rhythmic, indicating that someone was heading up to the third floor...
However, due to the lack of light at the Staircase Entrance, Xia Xiaoyu could only hear the sounds emanating from the darkness; everything else remained unclear, and she could see nothing!
Climbing the stairs wasn't difficult. Despite the darkness, for someone like Xia Xiaoyu who had ascended countless staircases before, it was not a challenge.
The design of the stairs was quite similar; as long as she took her time, there would be no problem.
Xia Xiaoyu first glanced back at the faint light that flickered behind her. Without hesitation, she extended her hands into the darkness and groped her way up to the second floor.
The corridor and railing were all made of wood, reflecting that the Bell Tower was primarily constructed from timber!
The cool moonlight cast a chilling glow on the second-floor corridor. Xia Xiaoyu looked up and observed the pitch-black Staircase Entrance leading to the third floor.
She hesitated, unsure whether to go up or not.
The footsteps she began to hear were clearly coming from the third floor. Although she couldn't see who it was, Xia Xiaoyu could vaguely guess that it must be Surin.
Since she was already here, she might as well go up and see what Surin was up to.
With that thought in mind, Xia Xiaoyu stepped onto the staircase leading to the third floor. She moved lightly, trying not to make a sound in the stillness of the night.
As she reached the corner on the third floor, more footsteps echoed above her...
Tap tap...
It was still that same feeling. Methodical and calm; from the sound of the footsteps, it was clear that whoever it was remained composed.
Moreover, the sound was coming from the third floor, heading toward the fourth...
But this sensation sent a chill down Xia Xiaoyu's spine, causing her trembling hands to twitch slightly in the darkness.
However, she didn't dwell on any details and continued up to the third floor...
In the empty corridor on the third floor, she glanced again at the staircase entrance leading to the fourth floor, which remained shrouded in darkness.
