C14

Bai Ya clearly heard the voice as well. Her already lively eyes widened even wider as her pupils contracted. The hand that was grabbing onto me had obviously tightened its grip.

"The overseer has arrived?" Bai Ya's tone carried a trace of panic.

I shook my head. Who would be so bored as to come to the seventh floor and beat the beat with their feet?

Just as I was about to turn around and look, the beat suddenly stopped, and at the same time the light on my cell phone went out.

It was dark and I could feel the strength in my hands tighten. I patted Bai Ya's trembling hands and told her not to be afraid.

At the same time, he turned on the light on his phone and pulled Bai Ya along as they continued forward. After that I always felt prying in the dark.

But I'm not sure, because all the clothes are in the bag, and if there's anything, I'd like to see the power of the 'owner' here.

What I didn't expect was that what came with the light wasn't a pale wall.

Instead, it was a dormitory door, and an endless corridor that was still shrouded in darkness.

I threw my light at the door.

The next scene that appears stunned Bai Ya and I.

The number on the door was not 09, but 07.

How is that possible? When the lights went out, Bai Ya and I didn't even move. How could it be 07 in front of us?!

I quickly pulled Bai Ya back to walk, but just as we were passing dorm 08, the rhythm started up again, as if it were behind us, as if it were in front of us.

But I didn't care. I kept running.

"06."

Bai Ya looked at the number on the door plate and could not help but read it out loud.

I looked at the numbers in front of me and stopped.

06... 06... 0... 6... 0... 6

"No, it's here!"

Suddenly enlightened, I lightly patted Bai Ya's hand, making her release her hand. Afterwards, she took out the lotus flower lamp.

It was impossible for there to be two dorms on the seventh floor, but all of this was planned. There was a rhythmic tapping sound, the lights were turned off, and the numbers on the door signs were displayed.

At some point, the slapping stopped and the light on my phone went out again, but that didn't matter. I turned on the Lotus Lamp and pushed open the door to 06.

"Creak ~ ~ ~"

The sound of the door opening became the only sound in the darkness. The sound of the wooden door rubbing against the floor made one's teeth ache.

Bai Ya and I walked into the living room and closed the door. After that, we lifted the lotus flower lamp. On the opposite side of the wooden door hung a sect, not 06 but 09.

It didn't matter that the number was 09, 7 was actually the so-called '9th' dorm.

"Ahhh!

Bai Ya suddenly let out a terrified scream. She pulled on my sleeve and pointed at a certain place with her eyes wide open. Her chest violently heaved up and down.

I looked in the direction Bai Ya pointed at and saw a bedroom door that was ajar. A white shadow quietly floated there.

I couldn't help but feel a chill run down my spine, but now isn't the time to deal with this. Bai Ya, who was in my embrace, seems to be on the verge of fainting due to the shock.

I quickly carried her to the sofa at the side and stuck a silver needle into her spirit door before closing it from the inside.

Only then did she slowly calm down. She slowly closed her eyes and actually fell asleep.

Looking at Bai Ya, who had fallen asleep on the sofa and hadn't forgotten to grab onto my sleeve, I gently placed the lotus flower lamp beside her.

After that, I used the faint light from my phone to slowly walk towards the bedroom. When I clearly saw what 'it' really looked like, the corner of my mouth twitched unnaturally.

"It's actually this kind of thing."

The white shadow that Bai Ya had just seen was just a black clock remaining on the wall. Due to the angle of view, she had taken it along with the surrounding white walls to be a white shadow.

I exhaled a mouthful of impure air. My heart slightly relaxed as I turned around and walked towards Bai Ya. My eyes abruptly widened!

At some point in time, a figure had appeared in a corner of the hall.

That figure was extremely far away from Bai Ya. It was unknown whether it was because it was afraid of the lotus flower lamps or because it had simply been there from the very beginning.

I walked out of the bedroom and stood in front of Bai Ya. I stared at the blurry white figure with a serious expression.

"What grievances do you have? How dare you stay in the mortal realm? "

The white shadow looked at me in surprise, as though she didn't expect me to be able to see him.

"Pretending to be mute? Very well, I'll send you straight to the Yin Division."

I sneered. If I didn't find the key point, I would still be circling around due to the confusion from the ghost aura.

To be able to use ghost aura so well, the white shadow in front of me has obviously done a lot of harm to people.

However, just as I was about to make a move, the white shadow suddenly opened her mouth.

"I didn't kill that woman."

"I can feel your ghost aura on her. Whether or not you killed her, I'll explain to the judge myself after I've wasted my time on you."

The white figure said nothing, slowly vanishing into the darkness, and that was when the room began to change, the darkness flooding over me and engulfing me.

I coldly snorted and threw a silver needle along with a yellow rune towards the place where the white shadow had been.

However, the silver needles and yellow talismans were like stones that had sunk into the ocean. After a long while, the surroundings were still deathly silent.

I couldn't help but frown. Even the weak lights of the lotus flower lamps were gone. The only thing I was sure of was that I was still in the hall.

"Flame Smoke Powder."

I took out another yellow talisman and a faint yellow flame ignited on top of the talisman. Finally, there was a trace of light.

But what made me frown was that the floor under my feet seemed to have a layer of something stuck to it.

The flame on the Yellow Talisman was very slow, which meant that the surrounding ghost aura was very thick.

Hmph, putting on a show.

There was no panic. I knew that this ghost was just stalling for time. I fumbled around in the hall, but not only was there no trace of Bai Ying, even Bai Ya was nowhere to be seen.

After exploring the hall for a while without finding any traces, I cautiously walked towards the bedroom.

The light from the fire in my hand could only illuminate a very small area. The darkness around me was like a living creature, devouring all the light that radiated from far away.

The broken clock had returned to its perfect shape. It hung on the wall and ticked on and on, as if it was the footsteps I heard initially. One after another, it issued out a single sound amidst the dead silence.

I carefully explored my surroundings. Suddenly, I saw a snow-white figure sitting by the window. Her long black hair was loose behind her back and she wore a white shirt. Her long legs were resting on the edge of the window. Since her back was facing me, her face couldn't be seen.

However, the moment I caught sight of her, my heart tightened and my body subconsciously bowed slightly, preparing to defend. Because the girl in front of him was definitely not human, the surrounding ghost aura was more than twice as dense as before. The light emitted by the burning yellow talisman was becoming increasingly weak, and as it flickered, it gave off an unbearable feeling of weakness.

The girl slowly turned her head. Accompanied by "ka ka" sounds, she was like a robot that had been wound up.

The dim yellow light shone on her face, bringing with it a trace of paleness. It was only then that I could clearly see her appearance. I have to say, this girl looks really pretty. There were only a few tears on her face. The corners of her mouth were stiff as she cracked her lips.

"Tell me, are all the men in this world so scoundrelly?" It was as if she were asking me, as if she were asking herself.

Seeing that I didn't say anything, the girl prepared to stand up.

Her movements were very stiff, and her body occasionally made some 'ka ka ka' sounds as she moved. The sound of the clock in the room was extremely similar to that of a puppet's.

Finally she stood up and stood on the edge of the window ledge. She looked at me and opened her mouth slightly.

"Then tell me, should you die?"
