Xia Xiaoyu did not move her feet; she just quietly watched that figure, feeling a mix of awe and fear in her heart. However, she knew that she not only had to remain rational but also needed to find a way to resolve the situation. She couldn't rely entirely on Zifeng!
She clenched her slightly stiff and numb fingers, struggling to move them a little, and with great effort swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Then she slowly walked towards that person.
The cold wind blowing from the chilly lake made Xia Xiaoyu's rigid body feel even colder. She glanced at the lake, which appeared serene yet eerie in the night, and cautiously approached it.
The lake at night was strange, especially when standing by its edge and looking into the water. There was always a feeling that something terrifying lurked beneath the surface, or one might unconsciously imagine hands reaching out from the lake to pull them down.
When she reached the man's side, Xia Xiaoyu finally breathed a slight sigh of relief.
He appeared to be a man in his early thirties, but what puzzled Xia Xiaoyu was that he seemed unaware of her presence.
He merely gazed into the dark water where fishing lines hung down, sitting there like Wood.
"Sir, can you hear me?"
Initially, speaking to anyone at University would lead to silence, and the fact that others could not hear her had left Xia Xiaoyu stunned. At this moment, she needed to determine whether she was encountering another illusion.
However, there was no response; the man continued to stare at the dim lake, his head lowered. From her elevated position, Xia Xiaoyu could not see his face.
"Sir..."
Xia Xiaoyu wanted to call out again because she realized he had not disappeared.
However, just as Xia Xiaoyu began to speak, she suddenly felt as if something was stuck in her throat because that person started to lift his head towards her.
"Are you calling me?"
The voice, raspy and ethereal, pierced through the silence of the night, carrying a fear that penetrated the soul.
When Xia Xiaoyu saw that face, she screamed.
"Ah!"
The scream shattered the night sky, for the face that appeared before Xia Xiaoyu had no chin!
It was a person without a chin.
After a brief moment of shock, Xia Xiaoyu screamed and hurriedly ran towards the University. Strangely, the person behind her did not chase after her.
But Xia Xiaoyu was nearly driven mad by this scene.
In the night, the cold wind rushed at her. As she ran against the wind, Xia Xiaoyu could clearly feel her heart racing as if it were about to leap out of her throat.
However, she had not run far when she saw another figure dressed in black and wearing a Conical Hat approaching from a distance, heading towards the place where Xia Xiaoyu had intended to go.
Xia Xiaoyu was stunned and quickly stepped forward to stop him, shouting, "Don't, don't go over there! There's a terrifying person ahead, he has no chin!"
Xia Xiaoyu kindly reminded him, her heart racing faster. After speaking, she kept glancing back to see if that person was chasing after them.
However, Xia Xiaoyu's words made the person wearing the Conical Hat stop in his tracks. In the deep of night, an endless chill began to surge from the depths of Xia Xiaoyu's heart.
"Is that so?"
A cold, ominous voice came from the Strange Man's lips as he slowly raised his head.
And Xia Xiaoyu finally saw his face.
"Ah!"
Another scream escaped her lips as she stumbled backward, a storm of fear rising within her.
Because he also had no chin?
