7 min read1,644 words

Nine o’clock was the busiest hour of the city, the streets were bustling with life.

Hitomi stood in the crowd, but she felt out of place, she was dazed by it all, so far away from herself.

“Hey, are you scared silly?”

Chen Lu looked at Hitomi who was standing stupidly and was also convinced.

This silly girl just knew how to run desperately down the stairs, but she couldn’t even see that there was a door next door!

This IQ deserves a supporting role in a horror movie!

However, this scene of Stair Fear is also a scene that was not in the movie. If Chen Lu had not been more mindful and followed Hitomi secretly, Hitomi would be dead.

Once Hitomi was dead, there would be no one to open the door for him, let alone enter the bedroom.

Even if you used methods like climbing walls and jumping out of windows to get into the bedroom, there were still check-in missions to complete, in case the check-in mission is related to Hitomi, such as protecting Hitomi for ten minutes, wouldn’t that be an ironclad failure?

Right…. The primary goal now was still to check in.

Chen Lu breathed smoothly and said to Hitomi.

“I’m sure you know that you’re being haunted by a ghost.”

Hitomi finally came back to her senses and looked at Chen Lu who had just saved her life.

“Thanks…. But why would I be haunted by something in such terrible way?” Hitomi squatted in the street and sobbed, attracting the attention of many passersby.

“Only I can protect you now.”

Chen Lu pulled Hitomi up and dragged her towards the front.

“Let’s go home.”

Hitomi looked at Chen Lu, who was walking ahead of him, and her cold heart twilight rose with a warm current.

Fortunately…. Someone was protecting her.

Chen Lu said: “I just wanted to check in.”

……..

……..

Hitomi’s apartment was near the office, so she didn’t have to go far to get there.

Along the way, the two had a friendly exchange, and Hitomi learned Chen Lu’s name.

Right now only Chen Lu could protect her, so she stuck very tightly, afraid of not being able to stick together, to which Chen Lu expressed helplessness.

“Chen Lu-san, will there be danger inside the house as well?”

Hitomi grabbed Chen Lu’s shirt and looked around warily.

“There should be.”

Chen Lu nodded and took Hitomi into the elevator, then pressed the 'seven” floor.

“Hmm? Chan Lu-san, how do you know the floor of my house?”

“Uh…”

Chen Lu scratched his head in embarrassment, how to explain this…. Naturally, it was because he had seen the movie.

This elevator door was transparent, so you could see the scene outside, and thus there would be a horrifying scene.

Hitomi clutched Chen Lu’s clothes tightly, looking nervous and with wandering eyes, ever since she learned that her home could also be haunted, she had developed the idea of not going home.

It was just that the man in front of her seemed insistent on going to her house, and she couldn’t say anything for a moment….

Could it be……. he will do something to me?”

Hitomi suddenly blushed, looking at Chen Lu’s upright body, not even knowing what to do for a moment….

She hid behind Chen Lu, not seeing Chen Lu’s pale face at all.

Chen Lu stared unseeingly at the floors outside of the elevator, and despite being mentally prepared, he was still terrified.

The elevator went up one floor at a time, and on each floor, there was a child standing outside the elevator, staring at Chen Lu without turning around.

It was Jun Xiong.

The ghost had come after him.

Chen Lu tried to wave and say hello to Jun Xiong, after all, they still had the “friendship” of two candies, but Jun Xiong apparently did not respond, just looked at Chen Lu numbly, apparently already did not recognize.

This is to be expected, after all, Jun Xiong is a ghost. As the saying goes, ghosts forget things. (A homophonic stalk for everyone)

Fortunately, Jun Xiong didn’t plan to attack the two people in the elevator.

The elevator reached the seventh floor smoothly.

“Let’s go.”

Chen Lu pulled Hitomi and walked to the door of the house.

Hitomi looked at Chen Lu holding his hand, her face flushed untimely.

“He’s definitely interested in me!”

“What are you thinking?”

Chen Lu looked at the dumbfounded Hitomi and felt bad.

Had she already been possessed? It doesn’t make sense to go so fast, does it?

“Hurry up and get the key to open the door!”

Only after being reminded did Hitomi finally react, and even opened the door, Chen Lu walked into Hitomi’s apartment, scanning left and right.

It was a very ordinary bachelor apartment, one room, TV or that old big TV, despite the apartment a burst of retro style, but still clean and tidy.

Hitomi put down her keys and greeted.

“Excuse me…. It’s a mess at home, why don’t you have a seat and what would you like to drink?”

“No need, let’s go into the bedroom first.”

Chen Lu didn’t want to do too much forcing, so he wanted to sign in.

“What!”

Hitomi’s face was red, she was in such a hurry!

Obviously, Hitomi had misunderstood what Chen Lu meant….

“Your room might be haunted, there’s a black scent leaking from the room.”

“My room?”

Hitomi looked to her room, the door to her room was closed, and she realized something was wrong.

Why should I close the door of my room?

She had already believed most of it at the moment, nodding her head and saying, “Good, then it’s troublesome for you.”

Chen Lu nodded. Of course he was ridiculing the black mist. He just wanted to sign in quickly.

The two of them reached the door of the room. Chen Lu motioned with his eyes for Hitomi to open the door, Hitomi was stunned, but in the end, she hurriedly took hold of the door handle.

“Crack.”

The door revealed a small crack, and then with Hitomi’s push, the door was fully opened.

It was a very ordinary bedroom, nothing strange about it.

Hitomi also walked into the bedroom, and after finding nothing unusual in the bedroom, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, then turned back to look at Chen Lu, ready to greet Chen Lu and enter the door.

Only when she turned back, she found Chen Lu’s frightened eyes, he stepped out to step into the room, and he kept staring at her, saying something.

But why can’t she hear him?

“Pata.”

The door slammed itself shut.

Hitomi was willing to block her entire family, she definitely didn’t touch the door.

Hitomi looked at the closed door with great fear in her heart.

Why, did the door close by itself?

There’s a ghost…. There’s a ghost!

“Chen Lu, Chen Lu! Open the door, open the door!”

Then Hitomi knocked desperately on the door, calling Chen Lu’s name, but there was no sound from the other side of the door.

Hitomi’s actions were pointless, and instead made herself even more desperate.

Hitomi slid against the door and slid down by it, filling the entire room with her weak cries.

“Help…”

She choked out, even as she realized that the danger was close.

It couldn’t go on like this….

Hitomi’s desire to survive drove her to get up from the ground. She hid in the bed, covered herself with a quilt, her body was still shaking, her nose and tears on her face.

“It’s okay…. It’s okay, there’s still Chan Lu outside, he’ll protect me.”

Hitomi soothed herself in her heart, looking at the door and praying that it would open in the next moment, but of course, it still didn’t move.

“Pata.”

“Ah!”

Hitomi screamed in horror, stopping long enough to realize that it was just the doll falling to the ground.

“Phew… Phew.”

The violent gasp reflects Hitomi’s mental state on the verge of collapse.

Hitomi’s spirit had reached a tipping point, unable to withstand any stimulation, and she panicked, picking up the remote to distract her by watching TV.

“Welcome to today’s news.”

She looked at the TV with blank eyes, not listening to a single word.

She never watched the news on weekdays, but it didn’t matter what she watched now.

She just wanted to hear the sounds.

Just listen to the voices….

“Welcome to today’s news.”

The past anchorwoman’s face seemed a little pale, but her voice was still just as straightforward.

Zzz….. The television flooded with snowflakes, accompanied by a distorted woman’s face.

“Today’s news.”

Zzz.

“Smell…”

“Smell…”

“Smell…”

“Ah!”

Hitomi pressed the remote frantically to turn off the TV, but the woman’s face was becoming clearer and more frequent, her eyes containing blood and tears staring numbly and emotionlessly at Hitomi.

Can’t turn it off…. Why can’t the TV turn off!

Hitomi threw away the remote and blindfolded herself into the blanket, the blanket trembled constantly, showing Hitomi’s fear.

The danger didn’t stop with her childish behaviour.

Her blanket slowly bulged and rose, as if something was slowly growing into a human shape.

The blanket grew higher and higher, and eventually the thin blanket could no longer cover Hitomi, and the light from outside entered the blanket.

Huimei lowered her head and looked at her raised bed. The original black bed had the pale face of Gamecock.

Gamecock stared at Hitomi and smiled slightly.

“Ah!”

Hitomi screamed, her body dragged into the bed a little bit, she struggled desperately, her nails scratched the bed sheet, but in the end, she was dragged into the bed by the gamecock.

The bed was flattened again.

There was no one in it anymore.
