C29 (1/2)

At this moment, the only sound in the room was my rapid breathing. I rubbed my stunned head, not knowing whether I was in a dream or reality. After being in a trance for a long time, I gave myself a hard pinch.

I grinned. It was a good thing that it was just a dream. That scene just now was really unforgettable.

I touch the wet clothes on my chest and shake my head, preparing to take a shower. However, as soon as I lift my leg to take a shower, I suddenly freeze on the spot.

There was a puddle of foul vomit on the floor. I didn't have time to care about the smell it gave off in the hot, humid room, as I leaned on the bed and stared at it. The sickening color of my stomach made me shiver, and my heart sank to the bottom of the valley.

If it was just a dream, then who was the one who vomited on the ground?

Why were reality and dreams so similar?

Countless questions burst forth in my head, and my eyes were filled with a splitting headache.

I really don't understand what kind of situation I'm in right now.

I forcefully endured my shock and took a deep breath of the turbid air before closing my eyes. I continuously told myself that all of this wasn't real and that I was only having an extremely unimaginable nightmare.

However, when I opened my eyes again, the filth was still there. It had deeply stung my nerves.

I couldn't hold it in any longer, so I ran out of the room with a wail.

The night wind was a little cold, and a thin layer of mist had formed in many places. I rubbed my swollen forehead as I stood by the side of the road for a long time before I finally felt a little better.

The city in the middle of the night had already faded away from the hustle and bustle of the day, and it was so quiet that it made me feel warm. Looking at the dim lights in the fog, I couldn't help but think of the same scene I saw before I went to the South Ridge.

I took out my phone and looked at it. 12: 12: 00, what a coincidence. I couldn't help but laugh bitterly. Am I really going to be the number 12 in my entire life?

However, when I thought about this, I couldn't help but shiver. One must know that I died once a few days ago at the same time.

Moreover, in my memory, after a few days, something strange seemed to have happened at 12: 12 in the middle of the night.

That face that looked like it had been soaked through, that hand that reeked of blood, that hideous tongue … all of that made my heart go cold again.

I don't think of myself as a timid person, but to be honest, I am a little apprehensive right now, afraid that something bad will happen to me.

Thinking of this, I gritted my teeth and was about to turn around and return to my little hab.

”Pa Da!” ”Pata!”

The slow and rhythmic sound of footsteps came from far away, and it was especially clear in the middle of the night.

Even though I was extremely scared, my intense curiosity made me stick my head out to take a look.

He could see a small figure in the mist. It looked like it was a man, but his footsteps were slow and lazy, and from time to time the floor of his feet would scrape against the rough pavement, and his shadow would stretch out in the slanting light of the street lamp, like the tongue of the man from before.

Goosebumps rose all over my body. I withdrew my neck and quickly ran towards the basement. The moment I entered, I couldn't care less about the stench inside the basement. It was as though the door was tightly shut, as if this thin piece of wood could block all enemies.

At this moment, I was completely and utterly a frightened bird. Any slight movement in the wind or grass could cause me to collapse in fear.

Breathing hard, I pressed myself against the door, listening to the shuffling footsteps getting closer and closer and then getting farther and farther away until they were completely gone.

I heaved a long sigh of relief, thinking that I was being a little too bearish!

Helplessly shaking my head, I prepared to clean the room. No matter what, the dark and damp little room was currently my home.

”Duh duh duh!” Suddenly, two sounds rang out and my body tensed up. This sudden knock on the door nearly made me explode. It was the last straw that broke my back.

”Swoosh swoosh.”

Two more times.

I held the baseball bat in my hand and walked over to the door. After swallowing my saliva, I asked loudly, ”Who is it?”

However, there was no response.
