“Aye . . . ” Although I felt a strong stomachache due to the supernatural thing I had just encountered, I still couldn’t deceive myself by staying in the same place . Therefore, I continued to look into other places in this building .

There was a stairway to the second floor on the lower right, but I still wanted to search the whole ground floor first .

Then I started to search from the room on the upper left . When I pushed the door open, I found that it was actually a kitchen .

The moment I got into the room, the sweet smell of food struck my nose . I supposed it should be the smell of some meat soup . As my appet.i.te being whetted, I began to feel hungry . Since I had cooked meals by myself over these years, I could tell that this soup was a high-grade master piece . I already had a good appet.i.te after smelling it, which meant that it was qualified to be served in the restaurant .

“It’ll be better if I could eat croissant with the soup . . . ” However, no one dared to eat the food from unknown source . . . The most important thing was that the food seemed to have been made just now when obviously there was no one here . Had all the people here disappeared?

No, that was not right . . . Having walked to the kitchen table, I used my index finger to touch the surface of the table and only rubbed a layer of dust . Clearly the table hadn’t been used for a long time . That was the only reason for the thick dust . However, it was so weird that there was a pot of soup on the table . The stranger thing was that there wasn’t any fire being lighted now, but the soup was still boiling . . . So, a boiling soup suddenly appeared in a kitchen which had never been used?

Could it be more strange?

“Anybody here?” Being totally reckless, I tried to shout that .

Of course, no one showed up .

After I had left the kitchen and returned to the dining room, I planning to go out from another door . However, something happened there which almost made me bite my tongue!

There was food being served on the table which I had lay on!

I rushed over to have a check . The smell from the food was exactly the same as the one in the kitchen . Besides, there was also a plate on which there was a croissant .

I frowned and thumped on the table . With a heavy sound, the soup spilled from the plate .

“ . . . If anyone is there, show yourself now! Stop joking me!” I was standing there like a fool with deadly silence around me .

So the person who had done this to me had planned to play this game with me to the end .

Though I didn’t know who that was or why on earth he or she had locked me here, I still wouldn’t be terrified by the prank of this level .

After I had looked at the food on the dining table intently, I walked to the other door on the upper right of the dining room .

I opened the door and entered into a place which seemed like a hall . The large gate in my sight should be the entry of this mansion .

I made a solid deduction that the door wouldn’t be opened .

However, I still decided to have a try . As expected, the door was just like the other windows which couldn’t be opened . It seemed that it was not locked but was more like being drew on the wall, which cut me off from the outside .

“Gosh . . . ” I sighed and turned around . Then I started to look around the structure of this mansion .

There was a huge clock in the hall, but was already broken . If it was still working, it should make the tick-tack sound .

Now the time on the clock stopped at eight fourth eight . . . I didn’t know what that meant .

There was also a long stairway to the second floor in the center of the hall with dark red carpet laying on it . Half of the wooden stairs had already been ruined . I couldn’t ’t help but wonder if the whole stairway would collapse if I walked on it .

There were also two doors on the left except for the door to the dinning room and another three doors on the right .

Since I had already made up my mind to search in the first floor, I would go to those rooms first .

While I was wandering in a huge mansion like this, I did feel a bit scared no matter how calm I was in the ordinary times .

I saw dust everywhere in this middle ages european style manor . It seemed that it had been a long time someone had lived in this place .

But when I looked at this building from the outside, this manor looked quite bright to me . Little did I know that it would be a ghost house . . . I wondered where all the other people had gone .

I had been the last but two persons to enter the manor . Only Yu Hui and Li Li who had called me because of some reason I hadn’t known had followed me at that time .

Then I shouldn’t be the only one who had fainted . Maybe Li Li and Yu Hui might also be at some places in this manor .

Because if they didn’t faint out, they wouldn’t sit there watching me being locked here . And I would have waked up in the ward of the hospital instead of the dining room of this manor .

Such being the case, I should find Yu Hui and Li Li first .

Man left female right, then I started with the right side .

When I reached the first door on the right side, I pulled he door handle and only found that the door had been locked .

Unlike the main door of the hall, the handle swayed a bit after being pulled by me . So I only needed a key to open it .

It was just like the story in the scary games . Thinking of that, I put on a smile on my face . . . I could even imagine what was about to happen . The story would be about some complicated murder case in this manor . And there had to be someone who had turned into a evil spirit, which turned this manor a ghost house . . . or something like that .

It would be too old-fas.h.i.+oned if things developed like that .

I disliked the things that I couldn’t understand . So I also hated those scenes in the horror movie where those abnormal things couldn’t be explained .

I already knew that there were ghosts in this world . However, the ghosts I had met were different from the figures I had thought they should be . They were real creatures instead of imaginary existences .

They ate people, they possessed on people, they were much stronger than ordinary people and also had super power .

The so-called ghost was probably the black frost thing which I had seen before . And they were nothing like those half transparent creature in white with their hair hanging loosely who floated in the air .

After I had a conception of that, I was suddenly sure about what I was going to do .

After that, I headed to the second room on the right side . This time I was able to open the door .

It was a room with an area of seven or eight square meters . There was a daylight lamp on the ceiling, a very simple bed, a wooden chair, a flush toilet in the corner, but no window in the room .

What was the deal with this room . . . ? How could a flush toilet and a bed be in the same room?

Only the room in the jail would be set up like this .

Wait, a place to imprison someone . . . I had a bad feeling all of a sudden and turned around to rush toward the outside . However, the door was also closing itself at the same time!

Luckily I was fast . Only after I had held the door handle and pulled it fiercely did the door stop closing .

I would certainly be locked up here if the door was closed . . . I didn’t have any basis about that a.s.sumption, but I was pretty sure that it would happen like that . However, before I could get relieved, something weird happened again .

Another fair colored hand with slender fingers appeared on the door . . . then another hand showed up too!

My hand was still holding the handle, so whom did this pair of hands belong to?

Someone was standing behind my back . . . And it seemed that this person had arrived at a place which was pretty close to me . Now I could even feel the air behind my neck flowing .

The person pushed forward the door violently and tried to close the door . Meanwhile I exerted myself to stop that person .

However, even if I pulled the handle with all my might and my whole body leaned back, I still couldn’t rival that person’s strength . Gradually, I couldn’t control the direction of the handle and the crack between the door and the frame became less and less . At last, the door was closed with a firm sound .

“Who are you?!” I turned around in indignation . Right now my angry mood had already overcome my fear . I just wanted to rebuke the one who had stopped me .

“It’s me! Ha ha ha ha~” With that familiar laughter, I already knew who that was before I saw her face .

“Lian Bing?!” It really was Lian Bing .

She was still pus.h.i.+ng me against the wall while saying that .

“That’s right, it’s me . Ho ho ho ho~ I have freaked you out, right? Cheng Jun?”

“What are you doing here?” Why would Lian Bing show up here? Had she applied for the job too? No way . . . what the h.e.l.l had happened? Was I still in a dream now?

That was another weird situation . A totally unconcerned person suddenly showed up in this ghost house .

Wait, the touch was real . I had just pinched my arm, and that had been really hurt .

Seeing my behavior, Lian Bing asked me teasingly,

“What? You think you are having a dream right now? Why don’t you feel me by yourself?”

“Huh?”

She suddenly approached me . The distance between us became shorter and shorter until we had zero distance within each other . . . No, even closer than that .
