Chapter 3: The Auspicious Time Has Arrived

~9 min read 1,610 words

……

Huaiyou ran all the way to the first floor before he stopped, only then having time to pant heavily at the entrance.

When the door was violently closed just now, there was still a violent movement, but fortunately, it should have been able to delay for a while, which allowed him to run here.

At least as far as now was concerned, that kind of door-banging sound hadn't appeared again.

Thinking of the woman's appearance, Huaiyou was trembling slightly all over; the tension, fear, and inexplicability were still present.

Huaiyou hurriedly grabbed his phone and turned on the flashlight.

He looked at the time and found that it was only approaching 4:00 AM; it was still a long way from dawn.

The longer he stayed in this place, the more dangerous it was.

Huaiyou slowly walked towards the exit; he was naturally very familiar with his own home, and his current thought was to open the door and leave this place; at least for tonight, he definitely couldn't stay here.

The surrounding environment was dim, and Huaiyou had a premonition that once he stayed here for a while longer, the thing inside would very likely come out, and by then he wouldn't be able to run away at all.

This was already the first floor, and the only way to leave was the front door and the back door.

So Huaiyou was currently braving the fear in his heart, thinking about leaving this place quickly.

However, the house that should have only been over 100 square meters was unexpectedly a bit different at this moment.

The house that should have been able to see the door at a glance couldn't even have the road ahead illuminated by the flashlight's light at this moment.

The further he walked, the more shocked Huaiyou felt in his heart.

"My house isn't this big..." Huaiyou felt a chill in his heart.

The darkness in front of his eyes still had no end; the distance he had just walked was enough to span three or four of his normal houses...

But when the phone flashlight shone forward, it was still pitch black.

Huaiyou had no choice but to determine a straight line and bury his head as he walked forward.

Finally, after not knowing how long he had walked.

Huaiyou saw the familiar rolling shutter door, his heart was suddenly overjoyed, and he quickly arrived next to the rolling shutter door and pressed the button to open the door.

Subsequently, following a slight rotation of the gears, the rolling shutter door slowly opened; it was a simple kind of electric machine, and it hadn't been affected in any way; it could be opened as long as there was electricity.

But at this moment, as the door was slowly opened by the machine, Huaiyou's face became uglier and uglier...

The door, although it was successfully opened, was outside the door.

It wasn't the courtyard road in front of his house that he was familiar with.

But a wall, a red brick wall, blocking the entire door tightly!

Huaiyou walked forward in disbelief, reached out and touched it; the tactile sensation was indeed that kind of rough wall, layer by layer, neat and tidy.

"Impossible! How could there be a wall here!"

Huaiyou didn't believe in evil and walked to the other side, the other rolling shutter door, because he lived next to the highway, and plus the special nature of this place, every household was equipped with two rolling shutter doors, one electric and one with a key, which was the electric one.

He took out the key and quickly inserted it into the locked rolling shutter door; following a few sounds of metal friction, the rolling shutter door was also unlocked.

Huaiyou grabbed it tightly and exerted force, opening the door very easily, but at a glance, what came into view was still that red brick wall!

Both doors were completely blocked!

"……Damn it……"

Suddenly.

"Woooooo..."

Suddenly, a series of footsteps accompanied by crying and bell ringing sounded from behind Huaiyou, real yet clear; the feeling of that crying was like standing behind Huaiyou, and it was wailing without any scruples!

The sound came from far to near, and along with it was a "whoosh" sound.

That was the sound of something fluttering, like someone behind him was throwing something into the air!

Instantly, Huaiyou's body stiffened, his whole body tense; the flashlight in his hand had never been turned off, so at this moment, Huaiyou also turned his head instantly, and the flashlight's light shone directly behind him.

When he saw the situation behind him clearly.

Huaiyou was truly frozen.

He didn't know when, and he didn't know what the situation was, but suddenly, white Paper Money was fluttering everywhere, falling down; in a space, almost the entire line of sight was covered by white Paper Money, and even one or two pieces of paper money fell onto Huaiyou's head, finally sliding off his shoulder to his feet.

Huaiyou looked down and saw that it was indeed pieces of paper money.

And very quickly, after the fluttering paper money fell to the ground.

In front of him, what he could clearly see was.

Inexplicably, in the place that had just been empty, a pitch-black Coffin suddenly appeared.

The coffin was more than two meters long.

Painted with black lacquer, even from such a long distance, he could see the clear reflection on it; it was a coffin, absolutely a boutique.

And at this moment, Huaiyou discovered that the lid of the coffin was actually open, pushed aside diagonally, just placed on the side, and from that angle, he could just see a little bit of the situation inside.

Inside, it seemed to be empty.

There was no terrifying scene he had imagined.

But at this moment, it inevitably made Huaiyou's face stiffen again.

"Must leave quickly..."

Everything in front of his eyes seemed to be telling Huaiyou that this place was not peaceful.

But...

Huaiyou hadn't thought about which direction to walk to leave this place yet.

"Crack..."

"Step..."

A clear, yet slightly familiar sound rang out from the darkness of the stairs, and along with it was that woman's voice with a special melody...

Huaiyou, hearing the movement, felt his heart tighten.

"No way... even the anti-theft door downstairs couldn't block it, it came so quickly?"

Gritting his teeth, Huaiyou looked at the thick darkness in front and looked back at the door behind.

That door had already been sealed, and he began to bypass the coffin in the middle, heading straight behind, planning to run along a straight line.

But before he had walked two steps, Huaiyou stopped.

The flashlight light in front of his eyes, even when shining to the furthest place, still couldn't see the back door.

Shining like this, he couldn't see anything.

What came into view was still that kind of thick darkness, making him feel that there was something hidden in it if he looked at it for one more second.

He couldn't be sure how far he had to walk to reach the back, but the thing behind him clearly had a speed higher than his own...

He would be caught up very quickly...

Sure enough.

It was at this moment.

Huaiyou felt a cold aura behind him quickly enveloping him, and along with it was that special melody sound that seemed to be able to penetrate his brain... that woman, at this moment, should be not far behind him.

That rustling sound of crawling instantly approached.

It was right behind him, and it was approaching! It was already here.

Huaiyou didn't dare to look back at all, and could only stiffly twist to one side subconsciously, attempting to dodge the thing behind him.

Where could Huaiyou's speed be that fast? Or rather, could he really run away if he dodged one?

In the darkness, a slender, cold, pale palm stretched out and grabbed directly at Huaiyou's leg.

Huaiyou felt the coldness surge instantly, but his body twisted subconsciously at that moment.

Although he barely dodged and wasn't grabbed, that hand clearly tore Huaiyou's leg until it was dripping with blood; his pants didn't provide any blocking effect at all, being torn open like cutting tofu.

Intense pain surged up, Huaiyou felt as if one of his important blood vessels had been cut, his leg nerves began to twitch, and for a moment he couldn't move anymore...

"It's over..."

That strange melody-like eerie sound rang clearly in the back of his head.

Huaiyou knew that her head should be right behind him, perhaps not even half a meter away?

Was he unable to run away?

Suddenly, under such intense pain, Huaiyou's pain and fear seemed to have transformed into a kind of survival instinct.

"Fight it!"

Huaiyou's eyes turned fierce.

A strange idea appeared in his heart.

The coffin just one step away to his left was open, as if waiting for someone to enter; the movement he had just heard was definitely made by the woman behind him.

The paper money all over the floor must also have been caused by the woman behind him.

This meant that the coffin that suddenly appeared should be different from the woman behind him; they should be two different things.

He definitely couldn't run away now.

Then he would gamble!

"Even if I go in! I don't want to be killed by that thing behind me without knowing why!"

A look of madness appeared on Huaiyou's face.

He actually fell to the left at that moment, and the direction was that open coffin! ===== CHAPTER 4 =====
