As soon as she stepped out of the company door, Yu Hezi heard a buzzing sound, similar to that of electricity.
Imdiately after, there was a click.
Before Yu Hezi could react, the 12th floor plunged into darkness.
The lights in the corridor vanished in an instant.
Yu Hezi’s forehead twitched, and she instinctively looked up, only to see complete darkness where there should have been light on the ceiling.
Was there a power outage?
Yu Hezi felt uneasy, her fingers slowly touching the talisman at her waist, cautiously observing her surroundings as she walked downstairs.
However, just as she was about to reach the stairway, a sudden shrill scream echoed in the corridor.
Yu Hezi shuddered, quickly turned her head, and saw nothing but boundless darkness behind her.
Then the scream abruptly ceased, replaced by the sound of a woman crying.
"Wooo wooo wooo wooo—"
It sounded like a fierce wind squeezing through a crevice, compressed by the pipes and released all at once, the sound twisted and piercing.
Yu Hezi felt goosebumps rise all over her body in that instant.
Her scalp tingled slightly, and she quickly pulled out a talisman to shield herself, glancing briefly at the wall beside her before swiftly moving over to lean her back against it, vigilantly scanning her surroundings and shouting.
"Who’s causing this havoc? Co out if you dare!"
"Who’s causing this havoc? Co out if you dare—"
The corridor echoed her own voice.
"I’m in pain, I’m in so much pain—"
At the sa ti, the woman’s crying intensified.
Yu Hezi’s long hair suddenly began to fly.
It felt as if a strong wind carrying a foul sll ca rushing towards her face.
Before Yu Hezi could react, a hand suddenly reached out from the side, swiftly pulling her in.
At the sa ti.
At eleven o’clock sharp in the evening, Jiangli went to the bathroom with Fu Shiyan.
Not knowing if anyone was inside, Jiangli entered first to inspect, leaving Fu Shiyan to wait outside the door.
To prevent any accidents, Jiangli asked Fu Shiyan to keep talking to her and not to move around unnecessarily.
Fu Shiyan agreed.
Jiangli re-entered the bathroom, which looked just the sa as during the day.
There were no signs of use either.
The entire bathroom was spotlessly clean.
But...
It was excessively clean.
As if it hadn’t been used for a long ti.
Jiangli glanced at the partitions on both sides, walked over, and grasped the handle of one of the cubicles, intending to open the door.
However, just as her fingers touched the door, the lights in the bathroom suddenly began to flicker.
Fu Shiyan’s voice could still be heard from outside, "Is there anyone inside?"
His voice was calm, as if unaware of anything unusual inside.
Jiangli looked up at the flickering lights, her tone steady: "No one."
Fu Shiyan asked, "Should I co in then?"
Jiangli imdiately said, "No, wait for outside, don’t move around."
Fu Shiyan seed to be about to co in, taking a step forward.
Jiangli heard a low, dull footstep.
Then it stopped again.
Fu Shiyan said, "Okay, I’ll wait for you outside. If there’s nothing going on, co out soon."
Jiangli responded with an okay, looking at the flickering lights, her peripheral vision sweeping over her hand on the door handle.
Expressionless, Jiangli swiftly pulled the door open.
The lights in the bathroom flickered more rapidly.
Simultaneously, sharp cries resounded.
"There’s not a single person outside, and I don’t know where Bai Changfeng and the others have gone." Fu Shiyan was still speaking outside, seemingly unaware.
He obviously was making small talk.
