Countdown to Awakening

After Zheng Haifeng walked forward a little, he looked back at the two women behind him.

The two women also looked a little nervous. However, when Qi Yuanyuan saw him turn around, she calmed down a bit and looked at him with a look that said, "Are you scared?"

"..." Even if he was really afraid, he wouldn't say it out loud. It would be embarrassing to say it out loud.

Zheng Haifeng pursed his lips, and then, in order to show his courage, he did not hesitate any longer and walked straight forward.

What was there to be afraid of? How could Zheng Haifeng possibly be afraid? He would be a police officer in the future. If he was afraid of a tower, wouldn't he be laughed at by his colleagues in the future?

If he was afraid, how could he continue to be a police officer? How could he maintain his dignity in front of them? Wouldn't they spread the news? How humiliated would he be?

After walking a few steps, he stopped again in front of the tower. No, he couldn't show that he was afraid.

Zheng Haifeng swallowed hard and reached out to touch his heart. He could feel his heart beating rapidly. But he still tried to convince himself.

"No, Zheng Haifeng, you can't be afraid. You will be a policeman in the future, and you might die. If you are afraid, how can you be a policeman in the future? You can't be so timid!" he whispered.

After comforting himself, Zheng Haifeng took another deep breath and then bravely continued walking forward.

He then stopped at the door. He didn't dare to look forward, but instead looked down at his shoes. Zheng Haifeng then closed his eyes, silently encouraging himself not to be afraid, and then dared to open his eyes and look up into the tower.

There are no ghosts. Those are all fake, just to scare people... How could there be ghosts?

Even ghosts wouldn't bother him. He's a good man, a policeman in the future. How could such a righteous man be afraid of ghosts?

Even though he thought so, Zheng Haifeng was still afraid. He kept repeating, "Don't come to me, don't come to me, I'm a good person."

The two people behind him watched him walk forward and became nervous.

Qi Yuanyuan was still a little worried. She thought about it and realized that there were towers like this in many places. Some towers housed statues of gods, while others housed ghosts...

The villagers all say that this tower is unusual and evil, and there may be unclean things inside.

Furthermore, this place is considered eerie, so few people dare to approach it or live nearby. Some people are too afraid to personally dispose of unwanted baby girls, asking others to do so rather than taking the plunge themselves. Perhaps they're afraid the child will become a nuisance to them as parents.

I don't know how many innocent babies are in this tower...

Now that the three of them had arrived like this, would they disturb the infant spirit inside, as others had said, and then be retaliated by the spirit?

That shouldn't be the case... They don't look like bad people. I just came in to take a look, out of curiosity.

However, thinking of this, Qi Yuanyuan couldn't help but think of a ghost story she had read, which also involved an infant spirit. The protagonist disturbed the infant spirit, and then the infant spirit kept harassing the protagonist, and finally the infant spirit took revenge on the protagonist...

It is said that these kinds of evil spirits just harass you at first, then become entangled, and eventually take over or won't leave until you ask a master to call them away... Or some people even die from them...

Qi Yuanyuan looked at Zheng Haifeng standing in front of the tower and wondered if he was also... possessed? Or possessed by a ghost? Or something else?

Qi Yuanyuan forced herself to shake her head at this thought. No way, no way. What kind of person is Zheng Haifeng? How could he just… No way, just because of my guess?

Logically speaking, Zheng Haifeng is a soldier's son, so shouldn't he have strong righteousness and yang energy? How could something like this happen to him?

I really thought too much.

The next second, they saw Zheng Haifeng standing there in a daze, and then he immediately turned around, his face full of horror and disbelief...

"There's... there's... inside... hurry... hurry down the mountain!" he shouted.

It was like he had seen something he shouldn't have. The expression on his face was hard to describe.

As soon as Zheng Haifeng finished speaking, he rushed towards the two women, shouting, "Hurry up, hurry up! Get down the mountain!" There was fear in his tone.

The two girls were frightened when they heard the voice and saw the situation before them. Qi Yuanyuan then pulled Sun Pandi along and rushed down the mountain together.

Qi Yuanyuan looked back at Zheng Haifeng, wondering if he was possessed. Could what the villagers were saying be true? One couldn't just go near a place like the Anling Pagoda, or else it would bring disaster upon oneself...

Did Zheng Haifeng really see a ghost?

Or was it that Zheng Haifeng had disturbed the spirit within and was now possessed? Was he planning to attack Sun Pandi and me? Was he going to kill them both?

Is he possessed? Haunted? That's impossible! Shouldn't he be fearless?

"Yuanyuan, what do you think Haifeng saw? Is there really a ghost in there? Will Haifeng be in trouble? If... if he is in trouble, then we are both finished, right?" Sun Pandi asked her nervously.

Now she was even more scared. Even Zheng Haifeng was in this state, wouldn't she and Qi Yuanyuan be in even worse trouble? If Zheng Haifeng attacked them again, the two of them would be no match for him.

Both of them were out of breath.

"I don't know... I feel like he was possessed... Let's go down the mountain first..." Qi Yuanyuan answered her while still panting.

I'm so impressed! I shouldn't have come to such a spooky place. If Zheng Haifeng is truly possessed by a demon, wouldn't he be hurting people everywhere just like in horror novels?

Some people who are possessed by evil spirits will also develop high fevers and become ill. Although Zheng Haifeng is still a young boy, there is no guarantee that he will not be possessed by evil spirits.

If he got sick or was possessed by evil spirits, that would be the end of him. I wonder what Zheng Haifeng's mother would say... They also have to take responsibility. After all, she was the one who asked the two people to see him.

It's her fault...

Qi Yuanyuan spoke without paying attention to her steps. The road was always downhill, and there were many dead and rotten leaves on the ground. There were trees all around. If she wasn't careful...

"Ah!" she screamed.

Qi Yuanyuan stepped into a small pit and fell down because she couldn't stand firmly.

"Yuanyuan!" Sun Pandi reached out to pull Qi Yuanyuan, but unexpectedly, Qi Yuanyuan dragged her down... The two of them fell down together.

Zheng Haifeng's voice came from behind: "Yuanyuan, Pandi! Why did you fall?! Wait for me!"

Zheng Haifeng was also extremely anxious. How could two people fall down like this?

He's not that scary, is he? He scared the two of them like that? No way?

Zheng Haifeng didn't think about it any further, but followed after them. It must be said that the two girls ran pretty fast...
