chapter 9

The night of the accident was supposed to be an ordinary evening.

At that time, Li Wenzhou had drunk some alcohol and was drunk, dozing on the sofa; I was watching TV nearby and had also started to nod off.

Suddenly, I heard a low, ghostly moan that startled me awake.

I saw He Shuyu, her hair disheveled, standing in the depths of the dark corridor.

Her head was lowered, but her eyes were looking up, staring at me with a deadly gaze.

I was so terrified I nearly fainted.

It was all so sudden-I had no idea why, but she had somehow escaped!

Her expression was twisted, her eyes filled with surging hatred, and she rushed toward me.

I screamed for Li Wenzhou, reaching out to push him. I was pregnant at the time, and my emotions were already unstable.

She charged up to me and suddenly reached for my belly. I was so frightened that I passed out.

The last thing I saw was Li Wenzhou waking up just in time, grabbing her wrist and saving me.

Later, I was awakened by the distant sound of a fire alarm.

I smelled smoke and quickly got up to check, only to discover that the fire was here-in the Secret Room.

Li Wenzhou was alone in the Secret Room, his whole body burned black, motionless.

He Shuyu sat expressionlessly at the entrance to the Secret Room, her body also burned, as if she had just come out from inside.

The Secret Room was tightly sealed, so the fire hadn’t spread. In the end, He Shuyu and I were rescued, but Li Wenzhou was dead.
