Chapter 86 - Bunshinsaba (1/2)

The icy wind made Xiao Chen’s ankles feel a bit cold.

The crescent moon hung in the sky, there were no stars, and it was deserted.

The alleys are very long and there are no street lights. On this kind of cold night, it is even more frustrating, you can’t see the road ahead at all, and you will start shivering without even knowing where the wind is coming from.

Xiao Chen could even hear the barking of dogs not far away.

He was not sure if it was an illusion, but he always felt that something was following him.

Xiao Chen stood still many times, looking back, holding the phone in his hand as a torchlight, he gulped, and a thin layer of cold sweat rolled down his temples.

Maybe I’m just overthinking.

He comforted himself.

“Crack.” A sound.

Xiao Chen’s body trembled and was taken aback. He held the phone and pointed at the source of the sound, pretending to be strong and yelled, “Who? Who’s there?”

No one answered.

Xiao Chen was cursing silently in his heart, knowing that he shouldn’t have taken this dark path just to take a shortcut.

He took a deep breath, accelerated his pace, and began to walk forward as if he was hypnotised, swearing to never look back.

However, as soon as he took two steps, he heard the sound of footsteps coming from behind him, which even blended perfectly with his own.

There was also a strange sound coming from behind, something similar to the sound made by metal rubbing against the wall. He didn’t know if it’s because of watching too many horror movies, but he felt that this rubbing sound is like a knife scratching the wall.

After Xiao Chen heard the sound, he paused subconsciously. What’s even weirder was that the moment he stopped, the sound of footsteps also stopped.

Xiao Chen started to stiffen instantly, and quickly walked away, immediately, the sound of footsteps behind him also continued.

Xiao Chen’s footsteps accelerated, and the sound of footsteps behind him was the same as his, adapting to the frequency of his walking, and speeding up together with his steps.

Cold sweat slid down from his forehead, he gulped, without thinking through his brain, completely out of physical instinct, he ran like crazy, as if he was running the 100-meter sprint. Just like there was a scourge behind him, and if he doesn’t run fast enough, he will be eaten.

What’s more terrifying is that at this moment, Xiao Chen’s cell phone rang very unexpectedly. Suddenly the cell phone rang in the empty alley, with a mysterious feeling.

Xiao Chen wanted to curse even more. Before he could see which annoying person it was, he cut off the phone and rushed forward desperately.

The man behind also ran after him.

Xiao Chen could even hear the sound approaching step by step.

Fuck!

Fuck!

Xiao Chen, like a crazy person, thought he was going to see his ancestors because he was going to die. In just one minute, he even thought of the hot headlines in the local newspapers tomorrow.

“A college boy was murdered on his way back to school, and his body was thrown on the street.”

Thankfully the alley wasn’t too long, and Xiao Chen quickly ran to the exit without making a few turns.

Just as he stepped out of the alley, the footsteps behind him stopped too, followed by the sound of something cracking.

Xiao Chen didn’t dare to think too much, the only thought in his mind was to leave this scary place.

And when he walked out of this alley and rushed into a crowded place, his first thought was to vow that he would never choose to go to this kind of ghostly place where there is not a single person in the middle of the night, just because he was in a hurry..

Xiao Chen breathed slowly, making sure that there was no danger around, then picked up his phone and checked the call log.

Damn, which idiot was calling him.

Looking at the name on the screen, Xiao Chen couldn’t help but roll his eyes.

Sure enough, it was the idiot in his dormitory.

Darkness is boundless, and danger always lurks in the invisible depths.

It felt like there was something terrible that was swallowing human blood, and then the air began to be filled with a strong smell of blood.

The black shadow released his hand, and the sturdy man fell directly to the ground with a bang along with the knife in his hand.

The black shadow didn’t care about the man on the ground, staring tightly in the direction of the exit.

No one knew what he was thinking of, but then he sneered.

“Hey, did you hear that a corpse was found on the Liquan Road not far from our school this morning!”

“Ah? No! Don’t our school often have students walking that path back to school at night? Was it a student from our school!”

“No, no! How could it be! A middle-aged man!”

“Ah! My goodness! That’s terrible!”

Xiao Chen pricked his ears and listened to the conversation of the person next to him. When he heard that he was on Liquan Road, his face instantly paled, and his eyes were a little hollow.

His roommate Zheng Hui just bought a few bottles of water from the convenience store and walked back, and put it on Xiao Chen’s table, scared Xiao Chen suddenly stood up from the table, and the bang made the tables and chairs very loud. Everyone looked over with a dazed expression.

Zheng Hui was the most frightened. He didn’t expect Xiao Chen to have such a big reaction. He bounced and stood up, almost hitting his head, causing him to take a step back and sit down. At least he didn’t fell onto the ground.

“…”

“…”

Xiao Chen came back to his senses and sat back in his seat a little embarrassed, the surrounding people then went back to doing their own things.

But despite this, Xiao Chen’s face was still very upset.

Zheng Hui could tell at a glance that he had something on his mind, so he poked his arm with an elbow, and moved his head close, “What’s wrong, big brother, why do you look so disoriented? Did you see a ghost? Hahaha.”

Zheng Hui didn’t mean anything else, he just wanted to tease Xiao Chen, so that he will be more relaxed. He didn’t expect that as soon as his voice fell, Xiao Chen looked even worse and Zheng Hui realized there was something wrong and frowned, “What’s the matter?”

Before Xiao Chen could answer, the group of gossip girls next to him had continued to trumpet the deadly incident.

“I heard it was a knife, and it was left at the scene?”

“No, I heard that he was sucked dry!”

“Chey, whatever! Anyway, no one would dare to go to Liquan road in the future. ”
