Chapter 6: Ghost walking in the middle of the night
Footsteps entered the room and walked straight inside.
Wei Miao controlled her breathing, pretended not to notice anything, and closed her eyes to sleep.
People can control their breathing when they are nervous, but they cannot control their heartbeat. Fortunately, this body seems to have experienced strong winds and waves, and is particularly calm. Combined with Wei Miao's calmness, the disguise presented at this moment is simply perfect.
The footsteps are getting louder and clearer.
This means that it is getting closer to Wei Miao.
Finally walked to the bed.
Even reaching the bedside, judging from the direction of the sound, he might be standing in front of her!
Time seemed to have stopped, and Wei Miao could only hear her own breathing. In the silence, any movement is infinitely amplified, and the pressure from the unknown makes random thoughts more active. Fear will arise in the emotions, growing like weeds, and eventually destroying the mind.
Wei Miao faced a difficult choice at this moment. Should I secretly spy on this uninvited guest, or should I continue to sleep until the end?
Opening your eyes is risky, so be careful when peeking. Who knows if it will be a plot kill as soon as you open your eyes?
But risks and rewards are equal, and information is often the key to survival in supernatural events.
Wei Miao did enough psychological preparation in a short period of time, and quietly opened a crack, wanting to see what this strange existence was.
With the dim light from the balcony, the black curtain covering the entire room was barely opened, and Wei Miao was able to get a glimpse of the scene in front of the bed.
Nothing.
There was no ferocious ghost as imagined, only the curtains on the balcony were tightly closed, somewhat transparent due to the city lights at night, and the room was completely dark, without anything unusual.
Wei Miao felt a chill on her back. She clearly heard footsteps stopping at the head of the bed. How could there be nothing? !
Could it be an invisible ghost that cannot be seen with the naked eye, but how can it make the sound of walking footsteps? Maybe... it's like in some horror stories, a pair of shoes that are haunted?
Wei Miao’s thinking is active and divergent. At this moment, footsteps sounded strangely again.
“Dong——dong——dong——”
The eye slits closed quietly. In the absence of vision, hearing is more sensitive.
Wei Miao could accurately identify the direction of the sound. It walked from the head of the bed to the end of the bed, walking steadily away from her, until finally, the sound left the room door, getting farther and farther, becoming more ethereal, and again in the room. Wandering the corridors.
“Dong——dong——dong——”
The dull sound of stepping on the tile floor constantly stimulates people’s eardrums. Every sound seems to make people’s heart beat faster and their breathing tighten. , the sleepiness was no longer in his mind, and he was extremely awake due to fear.
Listening to the sound of footsteps moving away, Wei Miao opened her eyes and looked at the time, barely able to make out that it was a little after midnight.
Although she remained calm and her heartbeat and other physical signs were within normal limits, it was still too difficult for her to sleep peacefully in this environment.
Ghost itself represents unknown danger. There was no fear, but the vigilance was extremely strong. After all, this is also the first qualifying game. It would be too ugly to lose if you die at the beginning.
However, there was not even a single clue that she could find during the day, and now it was in front of her. It was just a matter of whether she had enough courage to explore!
She stood up carefully, squirmed to the end of the bed, slowly leaned out half of her body, and looked past the glass wall of the shower room to the door.
To her surprise, the door was closed. But she remembered that the rhythm of the footsteps when they came out had no breaks at all and was very smooth, which meant that they had never stopped at the door, which meant that they had no time to close the door.
But the door was just closed! Moreover, when the door was closed, it would lock with a "click", and she did not catch this sound.
Wei Miao just glanced briefly, then lay back down quickly with hands and feet. During this period, there was only a slight friction sound of cloth, which was almost inaudible.
The light in the room was dim, with a faint light shining in Wei Miao's eyes, lying on her side facing the door. She was used to facing the source of danger head-on, instead of exposing her back to the unknown, gaining a self-deceptive sense of security, and not knowing when she would be stabbed. As she listened to the sound, her thoughts occasionally wandered, but she quickly came back to her senses. This situation lasted until one o'clock in the middle of the night.
At one o'clock sharp, the footsteps stopped suddenly. It was clear that they had not reached the stairs or the elevator entrance, at least there was still some distance from this place, but they just disappeared.
As abrupt as its appearance.
The sound of footsteps is strange and unusual. What kind of ghost is this?
When it was nearly 1:30, the sound did not appear again, and the surroundings maintained normal silence, but even the silence made people feel chilly.
Wei Miao will not go to the corridor to investigate. She slowly closed her eyes, feeling sleepy again.
No matter what, people always need to sleep. This is the guarantee of energy and energy the next day.
Today is just the first night, and the supernatural signs are beginning to show. This game is very strange. It does not seem to regard daily activities such as eating and sleeping as idle time. It does not adopt a time skipping or automatic completion mode for these activities. Everything is carried out according to real life.
Food tastes good, and you can feel sleepy and dormant body functions when you sleep. It is indeed an epoch-making virtual game claimed by Xuanfa, achieving an unprecedented fully immersive experience.
There was no movement all night.
Early the next morning, Wei Miao heard a knock on the door and woke up from a light sleep.
Looking at the time, it was only a little after seven o'clock.
Wei Miao, who usually wakes up after eight o'clock, grabbed a handful of messy hair, and a moment of irritability flashed across her face.
Are these people so self-disciplined that they knock on the door at seven o'clock without an alarm clock? Don’t you understand how precious sleep is?
The birth of getting angry was beyond her control. Fortunately, it only took her a moment to calm down. She rubbed her eyes before the confusion completely subsided.
After tentatively stretching the muscles on her face and showing a gentle smile, she got out of bed, took out the key card from her pocket, and opened the door.
The people standing outside were Anderson, Bude and Edith, which surprised Wei Miao.
There were faint dark circles under Anderson's eyes, and the bags under his eyes were slightly obvious, making him look a little haggard. Edith's hair is not as delicate and smooth as when she first arrived, and is a little unkempt. Bude...this guy can't see any difference.
Wei Miao nodded politely towards them: "Good morning, what can I do for you?"
"Oh, that's right. Everyone is awake, but you are not. Let's come. Let's see if you..." midway through Anderson's words, Bude grabbed his attention and said, "Let's see if you need any help."
Anderson glanced at them awkwardly, then. He came to his senses and responded.
Wei Miao nodded and smiled: "Thank you for your concern, I'm fine. I just woke up, do you mind if I wash up first?"
Bude spread his hands: "Of course, you can do whatever you want."
Wei Miao was a little angry and closed the door with a bang.
