Chapter 4 (2/2)

In the silence, Zhou Bai felt like he could hear his heartbeat. But he didn’t hear the sound of footsteps again.

Was someone standing behind the door?

Feeling the quiet in the darkness, Zhou Bai couldn’t resist getting out of bed. He walked to the door and cocked his ears, listening for any sounds outside.

In the eerie silence, Zhou Bai couldn’t help growing nervous. As he thought about what to do next, the entire door shook. Then came the sound of the doorknob turning continuously.

Someone was opening the door?

But because Elsa had locked the door, although the doorknob kept turning, the door was never opened.

The rustling stopped after a while.

Thump!

Thump! Thump! Thump!

It was the sound of a hand slamming the door.

The door thumped and shook continuously from the impact. Zhou Bai was terrified.

“Who is it?” he shouted to the door. “Who’s outside?”

Hearing Zhou Bai’s shouting, whatever it was behind the door suddenly ceased.

Zhou Bai gulped. He stood still in place and cocked his ears, continuing to listen for any noise from the door.

In the quiet darkness, everything was silent. The person behind the door seemed to have gone away.

Zhou Bai wanted to wake Elsa, but the moment he turned his head, a furry white face appeared before him. It glared at him with crimson eyes.

In the last moments of Zhou Bai’s consciousness, he only remembered the wild Primordial Spirit power extending from his mind and attacking the opponent.

…

The next morning, in a daze, Zhou Bai felt someone pushing him forcefully.

“Zhou Bai! Zhou Bai! Stop sleeping in! If you keep sleeping, I’m going to finish your breakfast!”

Zhou Bai’s eyes shot open, the impression of the strange face still in his mind. He said with some shock, “Last night…something came in last night!”

“Really?” Elsa was confused. “I was sleeping soundly. I didn’t hear anyone come in.”

“It’s not a person!” Zhou Bai said with horror. “It’s something else…I…” He looked at the bed beneath him. “You carried me back to my bed?”

“No, when I woke up this morning, I saw you sleeping in your own bed. You were sleeping soundly,” said Elsa. “I locked the door yesterday. How could anyone get in?”

As she said this, Elsa walked to the door and examined it. “The door is still locked. Did you have a nightmare, Zhou Bai?”

Zhou Bai got up, walked over to inspect the door, and found it was indeed locked. This made him suspicious.

He pondered. Was that really my nightmare yesterday? Only Elsa and I were in the room? Wait…

His eyebrows suddenly twitched, and he looked at Elsa, a possibility forming in his mind.

If the door hadn’t opened last night, and only the two of them were in the room, then that strange white face…could it be Elsa?

At this thought, he got goosebumps all over his body.

But with more thought, he realized he had been lying soundly on his bed. Could that have been a nightmare? But the dream was so realistic.
