Chapter 16

"Knock, knock, knock."

"Knock, knock, knock."

No one answered from the door, and the person outside continued to knock on the door.

In the room, Bai Yan could clearly hear Liu Kui's loud snoring and Li Hao's sleep talk. It can be said that except for him, no one could stand up to open the door for the person outside.

Who would knock on the door at this time?

In the middle of the night, in this unfamiliar environment, Bai Yan couldn't help but think of the story that An Qing retelled during the day, the horror story about the knocking ghost.

"Knock, knock, knock."

The knocking continued.

At this time, Bai Yan was sure that the person knocking on the door was definitely not a player who entered the game together. If it was a player, he would definitely talk when knocking on the door.

So, this 'person' could only be a ghost.

Realizing that the person coming was not kind, Bai Yan adjusted his breathing and tried to make his breathing smooth, like a sleeping person.

Then, he continued to lie like a corpse without saying a word, counting the time in his heart.

After knocking for about a quarter of an hour, the continuous knocking finally stopped.

In the dark night, Bai Yan waited patiently for ten minutes, but did not hear any knocks on the door.

Did the ‘person’ who knocked on the door leave?

Bai Yan did not move, not daring to get out of bed to find out.

After a while, he slightly opened his tightly closed eyes again, and quietly observed the surrounding scene with his fingers...

Bai Yan's eyesight was not very good, and he did not dare to open his eyes too wide, so the eye he opened only had a field of vision the size of a finger gap.

However, the field of vision of just a finger gap was terrifying enough.

With the moonlight flowing into the room, he vaguely saw that a ‘person’ had quietly stood at the head of his bed at some point.

Because of the limited field of vision, Bai Yan had no way of judging whether this ‘person’ was lowering his head and monitoring the eye between his fingers.

How long had it stood in front of his bed?

Did it come in from the moment the knocking stopped?

All kinds of terrifying assumptions flooded into Bai Yan's mind, causing his heart to skip a beat and he almost forgot to keep breathing normally.

He tried his best to keep his breathing steady, but the knocking ghost was no longer satisfied with just standing and watching. It paused for a moment and began to shake violently.

Bai Yan stared ahead without blinking, but what he could see was limited after all. He used his imagination to madly guess what was happening in front of him, but before he could think too much, he found that a spherical object appeared in his field of vision and became bigger and bigger...

Immediately, Bai Yan realized something and closed his eyes immediately.

Almost at the same time, he felt a hard object touching his fingers, and something like a brush gently opened and closed, and something soft like a bead rolled on his fingers.

He knew that this was the knocking ghost's eyes.

The knocking ghost took off its head and put its eyes... tightly on his fingers.

In an instant, Bai Yan's heart sank.

At this moment, he could weave a complete picture in his mind without opening his eyes.

The knocking ghost held his head with his hands, staring at his eyeballs motionlessly through the narrow gap between his fingers, and listening to his breathing with his head close to him. Its hands moved on his chest, as if it was trying to feel his heartbeat, and as long as it found something wrong, it would act without hesitation.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

His heart beat very fast.

After the knocking ghost came in, the room returned to silence unconsciously.

Except for the rustling sound of clothes rubbing, snoring and dream talk had long stopped, leaving only the breathing sounds of several people.

From beginning to end, the knocking ghost had not spoken.

Time passed in the stalemate between one person and one ghost. After a while, the knocking ghost seemed to have given up scaring him awake. Bai Yan only felt his pillow sink, and there seemed to be something beside his head, and then a rustling sound of footsteps went away, and the knocking ghost seemed to have left.

But Bai Yan was not at all grateful.

...

Sharing the head of the knocker, Bai Yan didn't know how he made it to the morning.

When it was almost dawn, the knocker came again and took away its head. But Bai Yan remained motionless, fearing that it would cheat and turn back halfway.

After a difficult night, when he heard Li Hao's full-blooded voice of getting up and the alarm clock he set last night, Bai Yan dared to try to narrow his eyes.

After confirming that the knocker was not waiting and the head next to his pillow had indeed disappeared, he dared to prop himself up and sighed faintly.

Seeing the sunlight outside the window, Bai Yan was so grateful to the dawn for the first time. He sincerely hoped that the knocker would not choose him as the lucky one tonight.

Having a head next to him really affected his sleep quality.

After going to the bathroom to wash up, Bai Yan put on his tuxedo and ate a compressed biscuit for breakfast.

In the morning, like any qualified housekeeper, Bai Yan first ironed the newspaper for the male owner, and then respectfully brought the newspaper and breakfast into the room, watching the master devour the rotten snake, cat and mouse hodgepodge like a starving ghost.

While ironing the newspaper, Bai Yan secretly peeked at the contents of the newspaper, but unfortunately did not find any valuable news.

He had never seen any of the popular stars in the entertainment section of the newspaper; he had never heard of the several superpowers that stirred up the world in the international news.

Even the date printed on the newspaper, March 22, 2010, is completely different from the time in the real world.

Nothing can remind them more clearly than this newspaper that this is already another world.

At eight o'clock in the morning, after serving the male host a still disgusting breakfast and getting dressed, Bai Yan, Lu Tianyi and Liu Kui followed the male host, ready to go out with him.

The male host's car was a luxury car of the same unrecognizable brand. Liu Kui knew nothing about the local road conditions. Fortunately, there was a clear navigation in the car, so with the help of the navigation, the old driver drove the car to the destination smoothly, and nothing happened along the way.

When they arrived at the destination, it was almost ten o'clock.

The place where everyone settled was a remote and desolate countryside. The male host came here to participate in a club formed by local rich people.

Before coming here, the male host did not tell Bai Yan what this club was for, nor did he let him prepare anything for this trip. He only brought a book with him.

When the four people got out of the car and walked to the gate, a man appeared and warmly embraced the male host.

The two happily reminisced about the past before going in together. Seeing this, the three followed closely and entered the club one by one.

After entering, the three people couldn't look around, so they all used their peripheral vision to observe the configuration of the club.

Not long after following the male host, the three people saw a sign in a conspicuous place with three big characters "Headchopping Demon" written on it.

Seeing this name, Bai Yan suddenly had a bad premonition.
