Chapter 51.2 Roommate (2) (2/2)

Du Han’s face immediately became ashen. He then recalled the post he read during the day. The first one he read in the post was how a ghost climbed inside a quilt, and the second one was how a ghost pretended to be the main protagonist’s roommate and killed him.

“The post was real!”

Now, Du Han was absolutely sure that the Old Qin on the other side of the door was a ghost! The protagonist in the story also forgot a small detail. That ‘Old Qin’ must have altered his memory, otherwise, he wouldn’t have recalled it only now!

With this said, the teeth-grinding sound he previously heard…

He remembered the teeth grinding female ghost in his dream. Du Han’s legs turned to jelly, nearly collapsing on the floor.

Du Han summoned his courage and used his phone’s flashlight to shine on the bathroom door’s glass but was terrified to see a person’s fuzzy figure sticking onto the glass’s surface.

Du Han was so scared that he crawled back from the door as far away and withdrew to the furthest corner in the bathroom, not daring to move.

Whoosh——

Whoosh——

The abrupt flushing sounds from upstairs made Du Han jump out of alarm.

Looking at the door again, the person’s figure was standing directly in front of the glass as if it didn’t intend to open it.

Du Han clenched his teeth, his heart didn’t want it to be like this. He feared that ‘Old Qin’ would rush in, so he silently picked up the iron dustpan that was squatting on the bathroom floor. If the ghost dared to enter, he would use the dustpan and give it a whack.

Du Han was squatting inside the bathroom for quite some time, causing his legs to feel numb.

On a cold winter night, his nighttime clothes were thin and flimsy, making him shiver from the sheer cold. Du Han suspected that he’d freeze to death if he stayed like this at this rate. However, he couldn’t make himself go out, because ‘Old Qin’ was still standing outside the door. If he were to go out, he was bound to get caught.

“What to do? What to do? The sky still isn’t bright!” Du Han nervously prayed in his heart. He even wanted to cry out for help and wake up Deng Fei to save himself from this mess.

However, distant water cannot be used in a nearby fire(1). He was afraid that before Deng Fei could rescue him, ‘Old Qin’ would hear him move and then barge in the toilet.

Under the influence of his fear, Du Han didn’t dare do anything, only staying crouched in a corner and patiently waiting for morning.

“…”

What time was it?

He didn’t know how long he had been squatting, but due to his tired and cold state, Du Han was curled up and shivering, completely forgetting the time.

He slowly bowed his head and saw the time on the phone’s screen. Right now, it was exactly 4 AM, it was still too early for the sky to brighten up.

He mumbled a curse, closing his phone while continuing to crouch down. He attentively watched the glass door but was stunned to find out that the person’s figure on the door was now gone!

Has the ghost finally left?

Du Han couldn’t believe it! He knew what would happen next in horror movies, but he still wanted to go out.

Because, he was already freezing to the point of death. If he didn’t go out, then he’d get a fever, or even worse, he’d get pneumonia.

He weakly wiped his nose and placed his phone on the window sill. His hand then grabbed the dustpan, his heart fixated on going out that door.

He gazed carefully at the glass partition and didn’t see any signs of a figure outside.

It should be gone now, right?

Du Han felt his heart rise to his throat and swiftly opened the door. Fortunately, the ghost wasn’t keeping watch of the door, and it had probably already left.

Hah… A renewed life after the calamity(2).

Du Han’s raised heart dropped back down to his stomach. The hand carrying the dustpan slightly loosened its grip as he went to the bathroom sink, wanting to put the dustpan down and put everything back to its place tomorrow.

Du Han neatly placed the dustpan near the sink, sighing as he turned around to leave.

However, before he turned his body, he felt a person tapping his shoulder.

A sudden chill came.

Du Han turned stiff as he turned his head and saw…
