Chapter 84 - Its Time (2/2)

They’re just beside me, but isn’t the order a bit messed up? According to the mission requirement, it should be me inside the fifth cubicle, right?

The silence persisted. After the owners of the footsteps entered the fifth cubicle, there were no more sounds. After waiting for another ten minutes, Chen Ge’s interest in the ‘person’ next door was slowly piqued. He glanced at the peephole on the wall before squatting down and leaned toward it.

The black peephole seemed to have a magical attraction, drawing Chen Ge closer to it.

On the other end of the peephole was not a bloodshot eye or a red shadow but two kids about the age of three or four. The boy and the girl hid themselves beside the toilet, holding each other’s hands. They looked intensely worried.

Shouldn’t it be a red shadow? Where did these two kids come from? Chen Ge pulled his gaze back. The two children next door could not be described with the word scary.

Another side mission related to the well mentions a brother and sister. Since the deep well is related to Fan Yu, could these two be the aunt’s son and daughter? But why would they appear here? And they look like they are being chased by something.

A series of questions appeared in his mind. Chen Ge gripped the mallet tightly. If his opponent was these two children, he had confidence he could win.

I should wait a little longer. I have a feeling that things aren’t that simple.

The night darkened, and suddenly, the silence in the third floor toilet was shattered by a new set of footsteps that came from the corridor. Chen Ge pulled the cubicle door open a sliver and looked out. When the footsteps stopped at the toilet entrance, a faded red shadow was reflected on the tiles on the toilet wall.

It’s finally here!

Chen Ge’s mission target had finally arrived. He did not dare to breathe as his eyes were staring at the door. The sound of footsteps became clearer, signifying that the red shadow had entered the third-floor toilet.

Creak…

The first cubicle’s door was pulled open, and Chen Ge saw a blurry red shadow poke its head into the cubicle. It stopped for a long time before moving to the second cubicle.

This was the first time in his life that Chen Ge felt the sound of door opening was so grating. Very soon, the doors to the second, third, and fourth cubicles were pulled open, and the red shadow stopped before the fifth cubicle.

Watching this unfold, Chen Ge tensed up. His body was like a pressed spring, about to explode at any moment.

If he had followed the mission’s instructions, he would have been the one inside the fifth cubicle, and what the red shadow was about to do inside the fifth cubicle would be the thing that should have happened to him.

In the silent and dark toilet, the red shadow gripped the door of the fifth cubicle and slowly pulled it open.

The room felt like it had turned darker. Children’s cries and laughter appeared from the cubicle next door. The red shadow stood at the door but did not go in. It looked left and right before moving to the last cubicle.
