Chapter 951 Awakening
For a while, various hypotheses came to mind, but they conflicted with each other. Jiang Cheng carefully checked the other corners of the room, then took off the pillows and quilts on the bed and spread them on the ground, a few steps away from them. The iron chair that doesn't look right is as far away as possible.
He was also worried that there would be an extra person on the chair when he fell asleep at night.
He sat on the quilt and rechecked whether the doors and windows were closed. Then he lit all the lights and lit two more candles, which made him feel a little more at ease.
But even so, he knew that tonight was destined not to be peaceful.
Of course, Jiang Cheng was not the only one who was cautious. After Mu Wanming made similar preparations as Jiang Cheng, he lay on the bed, his hands and feet retracted into the quilt, and his eyes looked around. With the whistling wind outside the window, it was undoubtedly a horror movie. .
All the lights in the room were on, and she lit all the candles she could find, and arranged them in a circle beside the bed, lying on the bed to match her. If Jiang Cheng were here, he would be happy to point it out. This arrangement looks friendly, just like the funeral hall that was set up on the day my grandma passed away.
As time passed, Mu Wanming slowly closed her eyes.
I don’t know how long it took, Mu Wanming suddenly woke up. She found that the lights in the room had been extinguished unknowingly, and the candles placed nearby were also extinguished, and the whole room fell into darkness.
But it’s not completely dark. There is a faint light shining through the window. Everything around seems to be shrouded in a gray mist. There are shadows in the distance, as if hidden. something.
Mu Wanming didn't see anything, but she had a feeling that the area was different from before she fell asleep. She didn't dare to make any big movements, as if she was worried that something would find her awake.
She slowly shrank her body up, and then pressed hard on the corner of the quilt from inside the quilt. This layer of quilt, which was not very thick, formed her only sense of security now, like an impenetrable line of defense.
Mu Wanming held her breath and glanced around subconsciously. She had probably memorized the placement of all the furniture in the house before, but now in the dim environment, only some vague dark black outlines were left. .
When his eyes swept around the table, Mu Wanming's eyes suddenly stopped, and a black shadow appeared behind the chair.
But there is only one chair. Mu Wanming has the impression that there is absolutely nothing else nearby!
Her heart was beating hard, waves of cold breath stimulated her body, and cold sweat broke out. She trembled and went to find her mobile phone. She couldn't care about anything else at the moment. She needed light, she was about to suffocate!
But before she could find her phone, she suddenly discovered that the black figure that was originally near the table started to tremble and move. If she listened carefully, she could still hear a small friction sound.
Moving in her direction!
Then in the faint light, she finally saw clearly that it was not a black shadow at all, but a person with his back to her and walking towards her on tiptoes!
Fortunately, Mu Wanming took out her cell phone at the last moment, turned on the flashlight as quickly as possible, and shined it towards the black shadow.
The next second, as the light came on, a strange scene happened. Her bed was empty, and there were no figures anywhere. Everything before seemed to be an illusion.
Mu Wanming stood up, leaning against the wall, breathing heavily.
She kept using her mobile phone to look around. The scene just now was so real, as if if she had been slower to react, she would be a corpse now.
After a long time, Mu Wanming calmed down. She got out of bed and planned to light all the extinguished lamps and candles. In such an environment, the fear caused by darkness was unimaginable.
But when she got out of bed, before she even took the first step, her movements suddenly stopped. The unexplained heart palpitations penetrated her like lightning. She covered her heart and used the flashlight again. Shine light all around.
None near the table.
There is none behind the door either.
The corners are also normal.
Wardrobe...
The next second, Mu Wanming's hand trembled, and the light from the phone also trembled.
There isn't one near the closet either.
Of course not, because through the mirror embedded in the wardrobe, she saw a figure standing on the bed behind her, staring down at her.
It turns out...it's behind.
"Ah! Ahhh...!"
The ear-piercing screams resounded throughout the second floor, and everyone who was originally sleeping was awakened. Jiang Cheng was suspicious of fraud and deliberately waited. After a while, until other people's voices and running sounds were heard outside, he walked slowly to the door and opened it a crack.
"Brother Jiang." The door diagonally opposite also opened a slightly larger gap, and Huai Yi revealed half of his face, obviously having the same concerns as Jiang Cheng.
When everyone arrived, Mu Wanming was curled up on the bed. She seemed to be extremely frightened and out of her mind. She just shook her head when she asked anything, and the makeup on her face was stained with tears.
The lights in the room are on, and the candles placed beside the bed give off a reassuring light.
"Wan Ming." Jiang Zhao sat next to her and comforted softly: "Master is here. Don't be afraid. You are safe now. Master and everyone will protect you."
Mu Wanming had no obvious injuries on her body, and most of her body was curled up in the bed, giving the impression that she was sleeping a second ago.
"I...I had a nightmare." Mu Wanming raised her head, her eyes were red, and her lips were trembling: "A very terrible, terrible dream. I dreamed that a strange man appeared in my room. On tiptoes, with his back to me, he kept approaching me with a very strange posture, and then suddenly disappeared. I looked at him from the reflection of the mirror. Only then did I see that person standing on my bed, close to my back, looking at me so...condescendingly!"
Let's think about it, I have to say, that scene. It's really scary, but in the end, it's just a dream. Judging from Mu Wanming's current state, it's not serious.
"Nightmare..." Bai Xiaojie looked a little impatient and asked: "You just had a nightmare, nothing else happened?"
Perhaps it was because of the large number of people, there was no room at the moment. Wanming also calmed down a little, "No more. " She shook her head and continued to emphasize: "This dream is very real and really scary! Otherwise, I wouldn't wake up."
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Cheng interrupted: "What happened at the end of the dream?"
"The man grabbed my neck and dragged me under the bed. His hands were huge and his fingertips were like daggers!" Mu Wanming recalled the scene at that time and was still scared. She woke up screaming.
“Just this bed?” Jiang Cheng stretched out his finger and pointed.
"Yes...yes."
"Give me a hand." Jiang Cheng turned back and glanced at Fatty Huaiyi and the others, "Move the bed." (End of Chapter)
