CHAPTER 4:THE MAN IN FEDORA

I stepped on each stair with slow and steady steps afraid that the stairs will break any time beacuse how old the mansion was.
It wasn't even surprising that the stairs were making creeking sound.
The stairs were made of pure wood and which had seem to be eaten by some of the parasites as the stairs were broken at some places.
The mansion was large with around 3 floors in total excluding the ground floor.
I wonder why would they even build this large mansion.

Even the railing was too dusty that made me feel gross beacuse I had to walk grabbing it.

If only I haven't choosed this case .
Suddenly I felt a grip on my leg.
I panicked and before I can look at who was it I was pulled from below.

A scream left my throat as I felt my body being dragged from the stairs.
Rolling down the stairs I tried to grip on the railing but failed to do so.
I tried to grab on the carpet that was lying on the stairs and somehow managed to do it right on time before hitting the floor.

My heavy breathing was able to be Heard through the mansion as I held on the carpet as if my life was dependant on it (well it was practically).

I raised my arm to touch my forehead where I was feeling pain.
I hissed when the hand made contact with my forehead.
Looking at it I signed out loud when I saw blood on them.
Ok I think my forehead is bleeding.

Slowly getting my body together to stand up still gripping on the carpet I tried to hold the railing.
The dust of the railing made me cough again as I finally balanced my body.

Then it hit me
Someone dragged me.
I turned around at an instant looking around the mansion.

Was it really a ghost?
No it can't be they don't exist it's all a made up plan.
But I'm sure someone did grabbed my ankle.
I gulped hard.
Shall i return back?
I turned to look at the point from where I have fell.

There was a large hole in the stair.
Huh?
Did I tripped and fell?
But I did felt a hand on my ankle.
Maybe I'm thinking too much.
I'll get my wound treated afterwards.
I started climbing the stairs again.
This time more carefully as I stepped on each stair with careful steps avoiding the holes.
Finally making it to the first floor I turned to look at the ground floor beneath me.
The stairs were for sure very high.
I wonder how much it have costed to build this great mansion.

Why did they named it crescent though?
The first floor was even more dirty as I doubt the police officers reached here.
The do not enter yellow tape was lying on the ground indicating the end of the line.
That confirms that none of the police officers were able to make it after this.

Mr kim the earlier officer fell Down the stairs and then he ran away and Never returned.
That's what I was told.
The officer before him who had put this tape Never returned and it's believed that his dead body is lying somewhere in the mansion.

Out of 20 officers only 16 made it back and them Also with either broken arm or leg.
Some even went crazy.
Ok now I'm getting scared myself.
My heart wants me to return but My Brain is still leading the race.

The corridor of the first floor was dark .
I gulped as I took out my flashlight before pointing it towards the corridor.
The walls covered with paintings and some showpieces were kept all long the corridor till where my light showed me.
The corridor was no doubt covered in dust.
Ok so shall I go left first or right first?

Turning to the left side I started walking towards the corridor with my flashlight pointed towards it.
The walls had different types of paintings.
Some were kinda creepy while some were beautiful.

Walking through the corridor I wondered why would the owner leave this beautiful place and live in us?
Wooyoung said that yeosang was the only one who didn't returned but he's in us.
Does that mean he's the criminal and ran away?
But why would he scare his friends then?
