C180 (1/2)
After Ji Ruxue bid farewell to him, Fang Zishu also began to organize the items he needed to bring. He prepared to go with the police to the 404 West Dawn Avenue, to visit the ghost girl called 'You Ran', on midnight. Fang Zishu also wanted to see what kind of god the 'it' was, and why he had to do this all the time … If it kept pestering Ji Ruxue and did not let him go, what was its goal?
There were two sides to the story.
After Ji Ruxue left Fang Zishu's residence with ”Evil Repellent Talisman,” he returned home full of anticipation.
The house that Ji Ruxue was renting was still quite a distance away from the Qingyang University, and it was a dilapidated residential area that was about to be demolished. Although the houses in the residential complex looked dilapidated on the outside, the interior decorations were rather exquisite and warm.
The most important thing was that the house in this district was much cheaper than other places. After Ji Ruxue saw this house, he rented the house of the landlord without any hesitation.
When Ji Ruxue returned home, it was already almost 8.
Because this district was in ruins, aside from the occasional barking at night, the surroundings were surprisingly quiet. One wouldn't even be able to hear the sounds of the cars outside.
Ji Ruxue knew that Fang Zishu and the police would be coming to her place in the middle of the night, so he planned to take a shower first and then tidy up the room.
Hualala …
Ji Ruxue slept in the bathtub, and rested his eyes against the warm water.
This feeling, was like a newborn baby returning to his mother's embrace, made Ji Ruxue feel especially comfortable.
Tap, tap, tap …
Just as Ji Ruxue was enjoying this comfortable feeling, footsteps suddenly sounded out in the living room.
The sound was as if someone was wearing high heels and grinding sand on the smooth floor.
At first, Ji Ruxue thought that he had heard wrongly, so he did not pay attention to it. However, the voice had no intention of hiding anything, and instead became louder. Ji Ruxue's heart skipped a beat and with a 'thump', he jumped out of the bathtub. After wrapping himself in a snow-white bathrobe, he rushed into the living room.
Crack!
The fluorescent lights illuminated the dark living room as bright as day.
Ji Ruxue looked around, only to realize that there was no one in the hall, but what caused her to be terrified was that in the extremely empty hall, there were still the sounds of footsteps. Every single step was like a heavy hammer that struck fiercely into Ji Ruxue's heart.
”Who?” ”Who is it?” Ji Ruxue screamed in fear.
However, the only response she got was the constant thumping sounds.
This caused the fear in Ji Ruxue's heart to grow even stronger.
She was scared.
He was very scared.
Especially since so many things had happened to her recently.
Hualala …
The shower head was still dripping with water.
Ji Ruxue couldn't care so much. After an ”ah”, he ran into the room while screaming in pain. He then locked the door and leaned on the side of the door. At this time, Ji Ruxue suddenly realized that there was a black shadow standing in front of the bed.
Borrowing the moonlight that scattered outside the window, Ji Ruxue was shocked to find that the black figure's face was pale white. Wearing a red robe and standing in front of her bedside table with disheveled hair and a pair of ghost-like pupils, staring fixedly at her.
Gulp …
Ji Ruxue swallowed a mouthful of saliva with great difficulty. She wanted to ask for help, but discovered that no matter how much she opened her mouth, she was unable to make a sound. That feeling was as if her entire body had been electrocuted. Her shoulders trembled and her mind went blank.
After a long while, Ji Ruxue forced down the fear in his heart, and asked the woman with a trembling voice, ”You … ”Who are you?”
