Chapter 45

  The night temperature always drops very quickly. The starlight and darkness huddle together in the city at the southernmost tip of this map.

  The salty breath of the ocean blows from afar, corroding the city's years and shell. The apathetic crowd continues to wander in the night streets with numb expressions. In the dark alleys, dirty eyes silently watch those who have lost their way in the summer's decadent desires.

  Many things will awaken in this chilly and eerie deep night, stretch out their deformed limbs, and crawl out of the dark nest. The voice downstairs selling zongzi sounds like sweet words calling them to wake up.

  The room was in a fetal position, protecting the slight breathing.

  The passage of time is given a ticking sound.

  A slender figure pushed open the door and quietly shook Yoyou who was sleeping soundly on the bed.

  "Sister. Sister."

  His faint cry continued to drill into her ears, slowly sweeping away all drowsiness. Youyou felt a strong chill forcing its way in, squeezing her body with all its might, and she shuddered, bouncing up from the bed.

  "Who? Who?" she cried out, turning on the desk lamp.

  The wall reflected her and Lezi's shadows.

  "Lei Zai, is that you?" Youyou let out a sigh of relief, the cold sweat on her forehead making her want to cry and laugh at the same time. She was actually scared by her own little brother. She glared at Lei Zai with annoyance. "It's so late, what are you doing sneaking into your sister's room?"

  Lok Zai said: "Ah Lin has arrived."

  Alyssa is here!

  Her nerves suddenly tensed up, a cold chill spreading from her toes throughout her body, and she even felt a slight dizziness. Wasn't she supposed to meet Alan? But when it really appeared, she seemed to regret it. Youyou sat on the bed, listening to the desolate and barren black night, suddenly hearing the sound of "bang bang" filling the empty space of the black night.

  Who is bouncing a ball in the hallway?

  "It's Arin."

  Lezi seemed to understand the confusion in his sister's heart, and said, then pulled Yu Yu's hand. "Sister, Ahlian is outside." He pulled her out of the door. The living room was not lit, dark waves surged, her nightgown was blown by the cold wind.

  This first meeting was indeed strange. The deep and dark atmosphere made it impossible for Youyou to get excited, instead, all the muscles and blood vessels in her body were contracting frantically, just like an animal's instinctive reaction when attacked.

  The living room door is open. The corridor is pitch black.

  She involuntarily held her breath, and the increasingly clear thumping sound resonated in her mind, hot blood rushing to make her thoughts chaotic. She wondered why this sound was exactly the same as what she had heard during her hospital stay?

  Bang Bang——Bang Bang——

  It seems like it dug up that spine-tingling memory of hers again.

  She was finally pulled by Lezi to the corridor. Youyou opened her big eyes and looked over, the dark end of the corridor was cut off under the weak moonlight. There was a yellow figure, like a bean-sized candle lit in the black night, swaying slightly in the gentle breeze. The small figure was tapping a rubber ball with a "pa pa" sound. The ball fell down and bounced back, repeating an unchanging rhythm. The jumping red color was striking in the darkness.

  She gazed at the figure, her breathing quickening imperceptibly, her eyelids fluttering restlessly a few times, as an icy horror suddenly enveloped her.

  This figure, she actually saw it before. It was the night before discharge, when there were also a Thai bald man and Fang Yanmei wearing a cheongsam...

  She thought it was just a dream.

  Or perhaps this is just a dream at this moment. Dreams are layered on top of each other, and it's hard to distinguish them.

  The air was filled with a suffocating aura and dazzling smoke. She couldn't suppress the fear that was about to jump out of her throat. At this moment, the thin figure at the end of the corridor suddenly hugged the ball, and the thumping sound stopped abruptly, leaving the corridor eerily quiet.

  Youyou subconsciously pushed Lezi into the living room and whispered: "Go to sleep quickly, or else sister will get angry."

  Le Zi didn't say anything and obediently walked back to the bedroom. Only when she heard the sound of him closing the door did You You finally put her mind at ease. Update 1,
