chapter 1
What’s going on?
I was shocked.
He dialed, and the Phone in my pocket started vibrating?
Even more terrifying-
He seemed to have already heard the sound of the Phone vibrating.
The mattress beneath me sank down; he was lying on the bed, and I heard the sound of the covers being lifted.
He was searching for the Phone.
I didn’t hang up. If I chose to hang up now, it would immediately reveal that someone was inside the room. I could only press my hand tightly over my pocket,
making the vibration of the Phone sound muffled and faint.
Trying to make it seem as if the Phone had been left behind in some forgotten corner.
At that moment, footsteps sounded at the edge of the bed-tap, tap.
The Man’s blood-stained shoes left a circle of red footprints on the floor.
He seemed to search the room but couldn’t find the source of the sound.
Soon,
His legs
stood at the edge of the bed.
On the other side of the bed, the woman who had long since died lay on the floor.
Her throat had been brutally slit, and the blood gushing out had dyed her entire face red.
She lay on her back, but her head was twisted eerily toward me. The mascara and eyeliner on her eyelids had smudged, turning the skin around her eyes a dark bluish-black. Yet her eyes were wide open, refusing to close in death, staring fixedly in my direction.
Being stared at like that, I was terrified, not daring to make a sound.
At this moment,
If he dragged the woman away and bent down, he would see me Under the Bed.
The Knife in his hand, stained with blood, glinted coldly under the harsh white light.
“Don’t, don’t, don’t look Under the Bed.”
I covered my mouth to keep myself from screaming.
Praying, I glanced toward the foot of the bed,
thinking that if I got the chance, I’d dash for the door from the foot of the bed.
As long as I could get out before him, I’d have a chance to escape.
I don’t know how long it was before the vibration finally stopped.
Everything was silent.
His legs stood still in front of the corpse, not moving for a long time.
What was he doing there?
Why wasn’t he moving?
Could it be… he’s found me?
