Although this was what Fang Mo’er had said, she only closed her eyes without really sleeping.
In her heart, she knew that it was safe, yet she did not really dare to sleep in such a place on the first night.
The shadows of the trees outside the house reflected on the window under the moonlight. They swayed back and forth in the wind, as if something was peeking inside.
No one spoke and the entire hospital was silent. Only the occasional chirping of crickets and the swaying of tree branches could be heard.
There was no internet reception here, so the three of them could not play with their phones. All they could do was wait.
Fang Mo’er did not know how long she had lain there, but eventually, she had unknowingly fallen asleep.
Suddenly, she was woken up by Bai Rong.
She woke up in a daze. The moment she opened her eyes, she saw Bai Rong’s anxious face, who was very close to her.
“Fang Mo’er, wake up. Something happened.”
Fang Mo’er rubbed her eyes and calmed her dizzy head. She then asked Bai Rong, “What’s wrong?”
Bai Rong said anxiously, “Xiao Ke went to the toilet but it’s been almost an hour and he still hasn’t come back. I heard some movement outside but I didn’t dare to open the door. Let’s leave this place quickly.”
As the two of them were talking, a sound could suddenly be heard coming from the corridor. It came from afar and seemed to be coming closer. It was as if some piece of metal was rubbing against the ground. The sound was very sharp and ear-piercing.
Finally, it came to an abrupt stop at the door and was followed by a knocking on the door.
“Oh my god!” Bai Rong jumped onto Fang Mo’er’s bed the moment knocking sounded on the door. Then, she trembled and hid behind her. She lowered her head and grabbed Fang Mo’er’s clothes tightly, not daring to move an inch.
Fang Mo’er was speechless.
Hadn’t she said that she was not good at sports? Why was she so skilled now?
Knock, knock.
There were two knocks and a pause. It was very regular, as if they did not know how tired they were.
“Could it be… could it be Xiao Ke?” Bai Rong buried her face in Fang Mo’er’s back and spoke in a muffled voice.
“Do you think it’s possible?” Fang Mo’er wanted to take a look at Bai Rong, but she could not do anything since she was holding onto her clothes tightly. Fang Mo’er sighed helplessly.
Bai Rong had been so arrogant towards her in the past. Why was she so afraid now?
She looked up at the camera on the wall. The lights indicating that it was working were still on, and the lights in the room were still on. This meant that it must have been the staff that had come to scare them.
The knocking continued, sounding especially loud in the empty corridor.
Fang Mo’er quietly walked to the door and lifted a corner of the curtain on the small window to quietly look outside.
Unexpectedly, she found that there was someone outside who was also looking in. As their eyes met, a huge red ghost face appeared before Fang Mo’er’s eyes.
Fang Mo’er let out a soft cry at suddenly being startled. Her body leaned back and she stumbled back a few steps before she managed to stabilize herself.
When Bai Rong saw that Fang Mo’er was frightened, her mind went blank. She crawled under the quilt and wrapped herself up tightly.
She kept muttering under the quilt, “Don’t catch me, don’t catch me, I’ll leave tomorrow…”
Fang Mo’er was fine. After having been momentarily scared, she immediately adjusted her state of mind and heard the person outside whispering.
“Miss Fang, please open the door. I’m a staff member and we’re recording right now. For the sake of the show’s effect, please cooperate.” The voice was steady and powerful. Fang Mo’er was very familiar with this voice and her eyes lit up as the last trace of fear disappeared.
Fang Mo’er glanced at the frightened Bai Rong. Afraid that she would really be scared silly, she kindly reminded her, “We’re participating in a haunted house variety show, not a real haunted house exploration. If you’re really too scared, you can sing.”
Then, she opened the door.
Seeing that the door had already opened, the “ghost” dragged Fang Mo’er away. Fang Mo’er was very cooperative and pretended to resist a few times.
Before she left, she even glanced at Bai Rong. She did not know if she had even heard her. In the end, Bai Rong had not even emerged from under the quilt to take a look. It was likely that when she realized that Fang Mo’er had disappeared, she would be even more frightened.
Bai Rong hid under the quilt without knowing what had happened. When the door was closed again, Fang Mo’er had already gone, but she was still mumbling under the blanket.
The “ghost” led Fang Mo’er to an office at the end of the corridor. Taking off the mask, Shi Mo’s handsome face was revealed to be underneath it.
“It’s really you! Why are you here?” Fang Mo’er smiled and pounced on Shi Mo, her heart filled with joy.
She had not expected Shi Mo to be here as well. She had thought that she would only be able to see Shi Mo after she finished recording the show. Since he was here, there was no longer any fear in her heart.
