"You promised me, and I remember everything, but you seem to have forgotten your promise. Didn't we agree on this..."
In Xia Xiaoyu's hand, her pink phone suddenly played Hemingway's song, startling her at this midnight hour.
She hurriedly opened her phone; it was Tian Xiaojing calling...
"Hello!"
Xia Xiaoyu's eyes darted around nervously, and she kept her voice low.
"Xia Xiaoyu, where are you? I thought you were in trouble again. It's so late; you scared us to death..." Tian Xiaojing's voice revealed her concern.
Xia Xiaoyu guessed that someone in the dormitory must have woken up and, not seeing her, became worried.
"I'm fine. I'll be back soon..."
Xia Xiaoyu didn't want to explain further; she felt very scared, especially in this place.
"What are you doing?"
Tian Xiaojing also sensed the urgency in Xia Xiaoyu's voice and asked curiously.
"Oh, by the way, is Zhang Li in the dormitory?"
Without thinking, Xia Xiaoyu asked the question but immediately regretted it. After all, she was following Zhang Li; how could she possibly be there? It was a pointless question.
On the other end of the phone, there was a pause before the voice said, "Yes, she's still sleeping."
"What? She's sleeping?"
Xia Xiaoyu's mind buzzed.
Wasn't she the one following her?
"Um, what's wrong?" Tian Xiaojing's voice came through again with a hint of confusion.
"Nothing!"
Xia Xiaoyu said this and hung up the phone directly.
In the darkness, the entire Abandoned House felt unusually cold. Xia Xiaoyu sensed a chill rising from her feet, surging all the way to the crown of her head.
The night was utterly cold...
In an instant, she understood why she felt that way in her heart, and why she had experienced that feeling when she first followed Surin...
What she was tracking was not a person!
No wonder when she first followed Surin, the dormitory had said the next day that Surin hadn't gone out at night. From the moment she started following, Xia Xiaoyu had felt something was off.
Because the movements were very stiff, too direct; it didn't resemble how a person walked at all—there was no sense of agility whatsoever...
It turned out that she wasn't stalking anyone; rather, something was deliberately luring her.
No wonder it was the same as when she first entered the Bell Tower with Surin—once inside, everything disappeared...
She had fallen into a trap!
Xia Xiaoyu felt a tingling sensation all over again. In this abandoned village, the Abandoned House had no signs of life, and it was extremely eerie. Moreover, the courtyard was still shrouded in that white mist, drifting aimlessly...
It's fine, it's fine...
Xia Xiaoyu reminded herself to stay calm and not let her heart race. The moon in the sky cast a cold light; there was no one around, and not a sound could be heard.
Standing in the courtyard, Xia Xiaoyu dared not make a sound or take a step. It was too strange...
The entire Abandoned House seemed devoid of life, perhaps due to being abandoned for so long; it felt ominous and chilling...
She forced herself to suppress the rapid beating of her heart, but her mind raced with thoughts. Xia Xiaoyu felt slightly breathless, though she wasn't panicking.
Her gaze darted around, on high alert for any movement. Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly noticed a faint light emanating from the broken door ahead.
A hint of tension surfaced in her heart. Although she couldn't see anything around her, Xia Xiaoyu knew she was being watched. The more anxious she felt inside, the more fear gripped her.
