“Help—Help—” Cheng pounded on the wall. “Save me, somebody—”

　　“Wuwuwu, wuwuwu.” Along with his screams, came the sound of a woman’s cry.

　　Lin had heard this voice many times, it belonged to Wang.

　　Before it was Wang who needed rescuing, this time it was Cheng.

　　But within a short while, Cheng’s screams became weak.

　　They were followed by a puffing sound, like a sharp weapon chopping into flesh, again and again, as if the person wielding it would never tire.

　　Cheng’s cries ceased, but Wang was still crying.

　　Ruan’s expression gradually became serious.

　　She looked at Lin and asked him, “Are you scared?”

　　Lin replied, “I’m alright.”

　　Ruan said, “Things might have changed, we can’t wait any longer, let’s go.”

　　Lin nodded and followed Ruan out of the room.

　　When he went out, he saw a pool of blood seeping from under the door of the room to the right.

　　It seemed Cheng’s life had come to an end.

　　Although he didn’t personally witness the death, Lin was well aware that some things he was powerless to change.

　　He was just an ordinary person, powerless in the face of these ghosts.

　　Ruan naturally took Lin’s hand, and the two went straight downstairs.

　　Lin was about to ask Ruan where they were going, when she led him to the yard downstairs.

　　There was nothing in the yard, only an empty well.

This narrative has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. If you see it on Amazon, please report it.

　　Ruan led Lin to the well and looked down.

　　Seeing this, Lin followed her lead and glanced into the well.

　　The well was pitch black and nothing could be seen.

　　It emitted a musty smell of mud, making people feel very uncomfortable.

　　Lin was looking carefully when he suddenly felt a strong push on his back.

　　He staggered and tried to regain his footing, but the person behind him pressed him down.

　　Ruan said, “Go.”

　　As her words fell, a powerful force hit him, and Lin was directly pushed into the well by her.

　　The sudden turn of events caught Lin completely off guard.

　　He fell into the well, his hands reaching out randomly trying to grab something.

　　 But the well wall was slippery, giving him no chance to struggle.

　　Just when Lin thought he would fall hard, he felt himself land on something soft.

　　It was so soft, like a silk cushion, Lin wasn’t hurt at all.

　　He struggled to stand up from the cushion.

　　In the faint moonlight coming from the opening of the well, he could finally see what he had landed on.

　　It was no cushion. It was a pile of wriggling black hair.

　　Lin’s face changed slightly.

　　He didn’t expect the well to be like this.

　　Fortunately, he quickly calmed down.

　　After looking around, he found an inconspicuous path at the bottom of the well.

　　Lin wanted to call out to Ruan, but he was worried that his calls would alert the strange hair below.

　　So in the end he gave up and slowly moved his feet, walking towards the path.

　　The path was narrow, but it was clearly built for this purpose.

　　Lin had to keep his head down as he walked.

　　The black hair extended all the way forward, like a laid out carpet.

　　He didn’t know how long he had been walking for, but Lin finally reached the end of the path.

　　He also discovered the source of the hair.

　　They seemed to be growing from the wall.

　　At the end of the wall stood a tall black iron gate.

　　On the iron gate hung a conspicuous bronze lock.

　　Lin had seen this gate before, in the corridor of his house, the only difference being that the one there had no lock.

　　He took out the key from his pocket and slowly walked forward.

　　A bronze key, a bronze lock.

　　Lin inserted the key into the keyhole and twisted it gently.

　　With a click, the lock opened.

　　As he pulled the lock open, he saw something fall from behind it to the ground.

　　It was a white paper strip.

　　Lin bent over to pick it up and saw four words written on it: Fairchild Bird.

　　Lin didn’t understand the meaning of these four words, but he didn’t want to waste time here.

　　 He casually stuffed the paper strip into his pocket, then grasped the handle of the bronze gate and pulled hard.

　　The door opened, and there was a soft light outside.

　　Although no other scenery could be seen, it gave a feeling of exceptional peace of mind.

　　Lin turned his head to look behind him.

　　Those black hairs seemed to be stimulated by the light and became somewhat agitated.

　　Lin dared not stay any longer.

　　He quickened his pace and walked into the halo.

　　"Ruan must come out alive…" This was Lin’s last thought as he left.
