Just then, as if she had faintly heard something, he distinctly sensed the figure in the hallway pause, then head toward the room he was in.
The footsteps drew closer and closer.
Lynn gritted his teeth and pressed himself tightly against the wall.
"She's coming! She's coming! Hurry up and hide!!"
"I know!!"
Click-
The door opened.
The damp girl wrapped in a bath towel pushed open her bedroom door and glanced inside, the room reflected in her eyes, but it was empty.
Was I imagining things?
She dried her wet hair with a towel.
She seemed somewhat distracted and gave it no further thought.
Her room wasn't very big. Her parents often suggested she move into the larger bedroom they had prepared next door, but she liked it here, because she had lived in this little room all her life. More importantly, Dad, Mom, and Mother all had no idea that she had long since converted the sealed-off attic into her secret base.
Click.
She casually closed the door.
Everything in the room sank into darkness again, with only the faint moonlight filtering through the window providing a little illumination.
Drying her long hair with her eyes closed, she walked barefoot to her bed and carefully tidied her hair.
For a moment, she was lost in thought.
Then she checked the time and, as she always did, gently lifted the covers and lay down.
Beneath the quiet moonlight, the girl was as beautiful as someone in a painting.
She looked weighed down by worries.
"Lin Ying, Lin Ying, have you seen the news lately? Especially that huge incident in the south. The whole internet is going crazy over it!"
"There are hauntings everywhere! All kinds of supernatural incidents! Especially in the big cities-lots of people have already died!
