Chapter 103: The truth was out

“You two aren’t purposely hiding to scare me, right?” I thought that was a possibility as I took out my cell phone to call Suyang. 

Yet, there was no reception. Are you serious? 

I turned on the flashlight option and felt slightly better. 

*Squeak* Behind me, there was the sound of an opening door. My shoulders subconsciously shrank and I didn’t dare to turn around. I remained fixated at my spot. 

It's not a scary looking grieving ghost from 12 years ago, right? 

“Merciful Buddha! Merciful Buddha!” I began to pray internally. 

*Squeak* Once again I heard the sound that made my scalp turn numb. 

I’m going to go insane!

I didn’t dare to make a single move. 

“One step...two step…” I concentrated all my senses to my ears and cautiously listened as the steps grew louder. Wait a second. This was the first time I’ve heard the footsteps of a ghost!?

I breathed a sigh of relief. I had a rough idea what was going on. After I calculated the "ghost"'s movements, I suddenly turned around and screamed. “Ah!” 

I scared the “ghost” so much that he fell down on his bottom. 

“Pretending to scare me as a ghost, eh?!” I pressed my hand against Shen Shaoqian’s head to punish him. Suyang also secretly came out of his hiding spot. I proudly stated, “I saw through your crafty schemes. Can we leave now?” 

“How come it didn’t work?” Shen Shaoqian scratched his head, confused. “Where did I give myself away?” 

“Your mistake? Your footsteps were too loud. Ghosts don’t have footsteps!” If ghosts had footsteps, I wouldn’t have been accidentally spooked so many times in my life. 

“How do you know? You’ve seen ghosts before? How do you know that ghosts do not have footsteps?” Suyang leaned against the wall and asked.

He's still trying to test me? I didn’t want to answer him, so I turned around to help Shen Shaoqian stand up. I wanted to leave this place now. But the moment I crouched down, I sensed something terrible. 

I immediately lifted my head and stared at the very end of the corridor. There was a blurry figure swaying towards us. It was really dark, so I couldn’t see the figure clearly. But I could tell it was getting closer and closer. 

“You guys didn’t arrange anything else to scare me right?” I swallowed down my saliva as I held up Shen Shaoqian and turned back to look at Suyang. 

“No, why do you ask?”

“R-really?” 

At that moment, the figure had passed by a brighter area. I could see him now. It was a man. To be more precise, it was a “man” walking towards us with his head crooked to the side.

If he wasn’t part of Suyang and Shen Shaoqian’s plan, then….

“Hurry! Run!” I screamed on top of my lungs. I grabbed Suyang by one hand and dragged Shen Shaoqian with the other. Then, I ran for entrance on the first floor.
