Chapter 5 Nightmare

It was ato the ears

I subconsciously turned my head around to look A man stood underneath the thicktree He was tall and handso hair I couldn't tell his age but the long robe he wore on his body left a lasting impression on me

Wasn't this the man who I was dazzled by at the uni?

The aveon to an irrelevant topic ”The moon in the sky now is a half-moon”

He half-leaned on the tree trunk with his ar his chin to stare at the sky ”'The 3rd night, Zhen appears in the Geng direction' If we see the bright part of thelines on top and one Yin line on the bottoraram'”

What was he talking about? I couldn't understand a word at all It was a complete mystery to me

”'When two Zhen pile on top of each other, the tre will go well and smooth'” There was a smile in the man's eyes ”It's close That tremendous thunder to you”

Frowning, I couldn't understand what he meant ”Who are you? Why are you here? What do you mean by those words?”

I just finished asking when all of a sudden, a gale surged, forcing ale died down, the man had vanished into thin air

I frantically ran over, circling once around the oldtree However, apart fro else in sight

It was right at this moment that an odd sound abruptly came from the distance

'KNOCK KNOCK! KNOCK KNOCK!'

In just a second, goosebumps prickled all over my skin Very quickly, I realized that this was the sound of the coffin knocking as

I sed hard as sweat began to for whether I should head over to check things out or return and wake shi+ Yitong After a brief internal debate, I decided to not wake shi+ Yitong considering the way he looked, he seemed to have been sleep-deprived for a few days He wouldn't be able to get a good night's sleep should I wake him up now

I rubbedout ht, inwardly Iwould happen shi+ Yitong had also said so hiood nu inside the coffin I would just go over to take a quick glimpse and come back

I slowlytold me about, which here the coffin was placed As the distance shortened, the eerie knocking sound also got louder My heart was thu to burst throughstill iet to the bottom of it

The noise becaly louder and by this ti in front of a row of empty coffins

Imentioned effortlessly because the sound was so loud it couldn't be ignored In addition, the entire coffin was shaking iainst the coffin lid with force, which resulted in the knocking sound

I stood there, frozen in shock Against my will, my limbs seeht, the coffin was different than what shi+ Yitong had described It definitely wasn't eainst the coffin lid trying to escape!

In the darkness, the coffin lid was pushed until a sly at the coffin In a flash, a, a long black hand suddenly reached out! That obviously didn't belong to a living man as it appeared to be a cremated deceased There was only a layer of dry, blackened skin that stuck to the bones as it tightly clung to the coffin lid
