Chapter 141: Neighbour

Jiang Cheng believed he was normal, so he abandoned the window and chose the dresser where most victims would die in horror movies. He took a deep breath and pulled open the right dresser door. Thankfully, no ghost jumped out. He instantly crawled into it.

At the same time, the strange footsteps came to the second floor. The difference between the two was less than a few seconds. After Jiang Cheng calmed down, he slowly suppressed his beating heart. Soon, his breathing also returned to normal. He sucked in a big breath and held his breath.

After the footsteps came to the second floor, the frequency became quicker. They headed in a certain direction. Based on the location, the ghost probably went to check the window. A gap was left in the dresser door. Jiang Cheng leaned over to check outside. He noticed a broken figure outside the dresser. As he expected, the figure was dragging along a scary cleaver.

The ghost wiggled her body, but she was fast unexpectedly. In just a few blinks, she arrived at the window. The next second, Jiang Cheng widened his eyes. He saw how the ghost exposed her bony arm and then tore off the window... That’s right, just like how one would tear down a poster on the wall. The window... was fake!

The ghost huffed angrily when she realised her conspiracy had been exposed. Then, she tore the extremely-realistic ‘window’ into pieces. Jiang Cheng frowned as he was reminded of the various tools on the second-floor study table. If he was not mistaken, Jiang Cheng also saw multi-coloured small cans. They were like paint cans used by the older generations.T/his chapter is updat/ed by nov(ê(l)biin.c/o/m

Even Jiang Cheng was impressed by the talent of the ghost. She managed to paint out a ‘window’ and place it on the wall. If someone tried to escape through the window... The consequence would be deadly.

Probably, the ghost would crawl out from the ‘window’. It was totally possible in the nightmare realm.

Jiang Cheng’s first reaction was to guess that there were people hiding inside, and the ghost wanted to get to them, so she attacked the dresser. The most important thing was the dresser was still not destroyed after being attacked by the ghost multiple times.

Jiang Cheng... slowly turned to look beside him. The dresser had two doors, one on the left and the other on the right. Jiang Cheng was behind the left door. There were independent spaces behind each door. There was a wooden partition between them. In other words, Jiang Cheng had no idea what was happening in the space behind the right door.

The dresser shook violently as the ghost attacked it. Even though Jiang Cheng knew this was an illusion, the dresser still shook up a lot of dust. Jiang Cheng felt his throat become uncomfortable. Clearly... it was the same with the person in the space next door to him.

There was another person hiding in the space beside him!

Considering the third set of footprints on the stairs, Jiang Cheng narrowed his eyes.

The ghost did not persist for long. About one minute later, the ghost gave up. Her bloodshot eyes overflowed with unwillingness. However, she couldn’t do anything against the rules. She could only turn and leave. The slapping footsteps moved down the stairs before disappearing.

After the ghost left, the atmosphere became weird.

The other person was already inside the dresser before Jiang Cheng arrived, so they definitely knew about Jiang Cheng. Jiang Cheng realised their presence. Both parties said nothing.

Jiang Cheng pushed open the door immediately after the ghost had left. He didn’t move to check who his neighbour was or find a path to escape. Instead, he silently moved a wooden table to block the right door of the dresser. Worried, he moved the partition to support the table.
