Chapter 26 (2/2)

Every day, there would be people discussing some boring trivial matters.

But at this moment, another gust of wind blew.

Lily shivered again and could not help but frown.

“It seems that I have to go back.”

She closed the book and put it back on the bookshelf. Lily held her notebook and prepared to leave the library.

The lights in the library at night were not very bright.

Except for the slightly brighter reading area. The lights by the bookshelves and the corridor were relatively dim.

People could be seen from a distance, but not their faces.

To Lily, this was nothing, because she knew she was the only one who would be in the library that late at night.

Click, click, click.

The sound of heels walking on the ground echoed in the library.

Lily was used to the sound.

Today, however, she felt a little uneasy.

She felt that something was wrong, but she could not pinpoint it.

[Fear points: +10.]

Tap, tap, tap.

Lily walked forward, step by step. Some frown lines had disrupted the initially calm expression on her face.

Finally, she stopped in her tracks.

[Fear points: +10.]

Tap, tap, tap.

Lily was shocked.

She had stopped in her tracks. Why were the footsteps still ringing?

[Fear points: +20.]

Thud, thud, thud.

Listening to the footsteps, Lily wanted to convince herself that it was probably the other students in the library.

Yes, it must be.

Unfortunately, the fear on Lily’s face grew even more intense.

The footsteps sounded exactly like her own footsteps.

It was impossible for footsteps to sound exactly alike, even if they were wearing the same shoes.

However, the footsteps that appeared in the library sounded exactly the same as hers.

Tap, tap, tap.

She raised her foot and took a light step forward.

Tap.

Although she only took a light step, the sound of her footsteps was extremely loud.

Not only was it very loud, but it was continuously echoing in the library.

[Fear points: +30.]

This time, Lily grew even more flustered.

Although Tensley University’s library was big, it was not that big.

Just by listening to the echoes, it sounded as if the place was at least three times the size of Tensley University!

Moreover, how could she make such a loud sound with just a light step?

Faced with these strange occurrences, Lily stood where she was. She did not dare to take another step.

She was afraid.

At this moment, her roommate’s words rang in her mind, ‘That scarecrow is really strange.’

Subconsciously, Lily took out her phone and searched for the scarecrow’s keywords.

However, no matter which search result she clicked on, all she got was a web page that had been processed by the authorities.

There was no information about the scarecrow at all!

This time, Lily was completely flustered.

Before she had time to think, something strange happened.

Ta ta ta ta ta ta…

The footsteps that kept echoing in the library suddenly became urgent and tense.

On top of that, they sounded like they were approaching Lily!

[Fear points: +50.]
