Global Collapse

Chapter 36 Horror novels are best read late at night for the right atmosphere.

Lin Yue'er, her face pale, said, "Last night... I felt like there was someone under my bed."

"Did you know? The space under my bed is solid, with only a gap of seven or eight centimeters between it and the ground. There shouldn't be enough room for a person to fit inside..."

"But I did hear it. I heard a scraping sound under the bed. I didn't dare make a sound, so I secretly crawled to the bedside to look, and I saw a hand! A hand suddenly shrunk into the crack under the bed!"

"I was so scared that I used the phone on the bedside table to call Yuwen Hao, but I pulled too hard and ripped the phone off the bedside table..."

"It fell right into the crack by the bed, and I was too scared to pick it up... So I waited from last night until this morning, until it was completely light, before I dared to get out of bed. As soon as I got out, I ran out without even looking back..."

As Lin Yue'er was speaking, Qing Huan, who was standing next to her, suddenly interrupted her excitedly: "Yes! Me too last night, I also felt like there was someone else in my room!"

Gu Mian turned to look at the Chinese literature graduate, who was excitedly recounting his experience.

"I felt something was off as soon as I got home yesterday. As soon as I walked in the door, I felt like something was following me."

"I looked back, but there was nothing there. Many times I felt like someone was following me, but when I turned around, there was nothing there."

"Whenever I'm near a mirror or glass, I secretly glance at them, trying to see if I can see what's behind it."

"And then...and then this morning I..."

As she said this, Qinghuan's expression twisted, as if she were twitching from being too excited.

As a doctor, Gu Mian offered the advice: "Relax, relax."

"What's wrong with you?" Yuwen Hao stared blankly, clearly wanting to know what had happened.

"This morning, on my way here, I passed a clothing store... that store has closed down, the doors are all shut, but the space hasn't been rented out yet."

"Many items from the shop were piled up outside the door, and there was a large floor-length mirror inside... The mirror was covered in dirt and very blurry."

"When I passed by, I subconsciously glanced in that direction... and I saw, I saw... a person more than two meters long following behind me!"

Upon hearing this, everyone else gasped.

Lin Yue'er repeated, somewhat disbelievingly, "More than two meters long?"

"Yes! It was over two meters long, like a stretched-out puppet, all white, and it just followed behind me!"

"I was so startled that I stopped abruptly, but then it was gone..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the room fell silent, as if everyone was lost in their own thoughts.

Gu Mian broke the silence: "How far away is it from you?"

That question really hit the nail on the head. Qinghuan shuddered suddenly before stammering, "It's just... how far apart we are..."

The private room they requested had a large round table in front of it, where Qinghuan and Gu Mian sat facing each other.

Gu Mian estimated the distance to be approximately three meters.

According to this storyline, the distance between Qinghuan and the ghost will continue to shrink.

At this moment, Yuwen Hao also began to stammer, "Actually... last night, Qinghuan and I seemed to be in similar situations..."

"Qinghuan felt someone was following him, while I... felt someone was watching me, and I didn't know where he was." "He seemed to be behind the curtains, hidden in the clothes hanging on the rack, hiding under the table by the window... or perhaps lying on the foot of the bed, staring intently at me."

"I always feel... if the lights are off at night, and I turn my head, I'll see a pale face staring at me."

"Even now, I still feel that sense of being watched."

As he spoke, he touched his chest, seemingly a little flustered.

Just then, the Golden Wings, who had been silent all day, suddenly spoke up: "You guys are nothing! You don't know, last night, that ghost... I heard that ghost's voice, and I even saw it!"

Upon hearing this, Yuwen Hao looked at Huang Yu with surprise.

Last night, Huang Yu's phone was always busy, but none of the four of them were talking to Huang Yu, which was very strange.

Huang Yu braced himself on the table with both hands, swallowed hard, and then continued, "Last night, everything was fine, nothing happened."

"I don't remember what time it was until it was completely dark... then I received my first phone call..."

"I thought it was you, so I answered immediately without even looking... but there was no sound on the other end, just silence. I got a little scared, so I looked down at the phone's display screen... and it showed that the number was not in service."

"I was so scared that I hung up the phone right away. I wanted to call you back, but then the phone rang again, and the caller ID showed Lin Yue'er..."

Lin Yue'er looked somewhat bewildered: "I didn't call you."

"I know!"

"After answering the phone, there was no sound at first, then a burst of laughter came from the other end... it was the kind of... muffled laughter, a man's laughter with his mouth closed and his throat chapped..."

"It sounded like it was coming directly from his throat. I was so scared I was about to hang up, but he suddenly yelled in a very high-pitched voice, 'If you hang up, you'll die right now!'"

"I was so scared, I panicked. I didn't know what to do, so I just held the microphone and didn't dare to move."

"That man kept talking over there... His voice was shrill, like the desperate scream of an old man who's about to die, and I just listened to him... listened to him..."

"I'm downstairs from you."

Everyone else shuddered when they heard this.

“I lived in one of those really run-down apartment buildings… on the fourth floor. I was in my bedroom at the time, and I could see downstairs from the window…”

"I was so scared that I secretly glanced over there and saw someone standing downstairs... a dark figure..."

"I saw him, facing my window... extending a finger, slowly... little by little, touching his own finger..."

"He's counting which floor I live on!"

"I was so scared, my mind went completely blank, and I didn't dare hear anything else..."

"All I remember is that the last thing I heard last night was..."

I've arrived at your door.
