“Something’s wrong!” Standing inside the well, a weird feeling came over Wang Wenlong. It felt like he had sunk into the deep ocean and his body was slowly submerging. His chest felt congested. He did not dare dawdle. He bent down to pick up the nametags.

When his fingers brushed the bottom of the well as he picked up the nametags, Wang Wenlong discovered there was something underneath the sand. It was about the size of a thumb.

“Is this some kind of trap?” Wang Wenlong was cautious. He did not touch the thing that protruded out of the sand but moved the sand around the thing away.

“What is hiding underneath here?” His fingers had made contact, and the touch was different from the slippery sensation of sand. It was something softer and colder. As the sand fell away, a human face surfaced, and the thing that had protruded earlier was the tip of face’s nose.

“F*ck!” Wang Wenlong quickly pulled his hands back. He had looked around closely before he jumped in and did not find anything weird. “The boss sure is immoral. He hid this underneath the sand!”

If he knew there was a ‘body’ hiding underneath the sand, Wang Wenlong would not have jumped into the well, at least not alone. He panicked and tossed the two nametags out of the well, yelling, “Pei Hu, pull me up quickly! There is mannequin inside the well as well!”

“Mannequin inside the well?” Pei Hu shone the phone into the well, and the face within the sand looked up at him. He shivered and reached into the well. “This is weird, when you jumped in, the well did not seem so deep.”

Wang Wenlong gripped Pei Hu’s arms, and his feet climbed up the clawed wall. Just as he was trying to pull himself up, he felt something cold touch his ankle. His legs gave, and he fell back into the well.

“Wenlong, what’s wrong?”

“Something touched me earlier.” Wang Wenlong looked at his ankle, but there was nothing there.

“Could it have been a lizard or tiny bug?”

“No clue.” Wang Wenlong looked around him and realized that even without his intervention, the sand around the ‘body’ would slip away on its own. Soon, half of the mannequin’s upper torso was revealed—it felt like the mannequin was trying to sit up.

“It knows how to move on its own? This can’t be an actor! It would have made some noise when I fell on it earlier if it was a real person.” Wang Wenlong’s mind started to get muddled. “Pei Hu, quickly pull me up!”

Outside the well, Pei Hu heard his voice and quickly reached down. “Grab onto my hand!”

This time, Pei Hu acted courageously. With one hand on the flashlight, he extended his other arm into the well. The thick arm looked weirdly comforting.

“Okay!” His teammate’s voice made Wang Wenlong feel much better. He grabbed Pei Hu’s hand and started his climb out of the well. He leaned against the wall and tried to jump out in one go. When his body had almost reached the mouth of the well, his legs that were in the air were gripped tightly by something!

“F*ck me!” He was pulled back into the well. Wang Wenlong turned to look behind him with disbelief, and the scene that he saw caused chills to run all over his body. The face in the sand was looking at him with its eyes open!

“It was the mannequin who dragged me down?” Wang Wenlong looked at the mannequin in the sand, and for some reason, he felt the eyes were following him.
