Chapter 39 p2: The Ancient Castle
….
At night, Shen Liang was tossing and turning in bed, unable to sleep.
It was not just because he was scared, but also because his stomach was a little uncomfortable.
It seemed that because of the bowl of congee he had drunk for his late-night snack, not only did he have a stomachache, but the congee was also a diuretic. He really wanted to pee now.
Shen Liang actually did not want to make a fuss. If he had a choice, he would rather close his eyes and sleep until dawn.
And the bathroom was always one of the high-risk environments in horror movies. Shen Liang naturally did not want to stay in it.
So, he thought, let’s just wait a little longer. What if he could still hold on? It was just a stomachache. If he endured it a little more, it would pass.
However, five minutes later, the pain in his stomach became more and more intense. Shen Liang had the illusion that he could not hold on anymore.
In the end, he had no choice but to sit up from the bed, turn on the light, and go into the bathroom.
He deliberately turned on all the big and small lights to give himself some encouragement in the dark night. Otherwise, he might really be too scared to go to the toilet.
However, what Shen Liang could not see was that in the dark ancient castle, only his door and window were lit up, as conspicuous as a lighthouse in the dark night.
Shen Liang lowered his head and walked into the bathroom, carefully avoiding the mirror, because he did not dare to look up and look in the mirror in the middle of the night.
When he was sitting on the toilet, Shen Liang finally let out a sigh of relief.
However, just at this moment, he seemed to hear a strange sound.
It was a bit like “da, da, da.”
It was the sound of someone stepping on the floor.
Who is walking? Or who is dragging their slippers?
Squatting in the toilet was boring. Shen Liang subconsciously guessed this in his mind.
However, the next moment, his back was covered in cold sweat, and he was frozen in place.
In the middle of the night, who would be so bored as to walk around outside? Which player would dare to court death? Even if someone really went out to court death, how could they make footsteps?
Shen Liang suddenly gasped, and the hair on his back stood up.
Yeah, who would dare to walk outside? Unless… unless it’s…
At this thought, Shen Liang could hardly sit still.
He quickly went to get a tissue, but at this time, his stomach suddenly became painful, so painful that he curled up like a shrimp, clutching his stomach tightly. Sweat even flowed out of his forehead.
It did not hurt early, it did not hurt late, but it had to be at this time.
And he could not leave the toilet.
At this thought, Shen Liang clutched his stomach, feeling the diarrhea. He was so weak that he felt like he was going to die.
Creak, creak, creak…
It was like the sound of bones twisting.
Shen Liang suddenly looked up, his eyes filled with terror as he looked outside. At this time, a horror movie came to his mind inappropriately.
It was also this kind of sound, accompanied by a twisted body crawling down the stairs.
Shen Liang swallowed, almost driven mad by the imagination in his mind.
What’s going on? What’s the situation?
Is… is it coming towards me?
At this time, Shen Liang could hardly care about his stomachache. He hurriedly wiped himself with a tissue, then pulled up his pants and carefully opened the bathroom door, his expression filled with terror and panic as he looked outside.
Thud, thud, thud…
It was getting closer and closer.
Shen Liang’s eyes widened, and for a moment, his mind went blank with fear.
He subconsciously wanted to go and ask for help from others, but as soon as he took a step, Shen Liang realized that he could not go out, because there was… there was… outside.
The other party was waiting for him. If he opened the door, wouldn’t he be walking into a trap?
At this thought, Shen Liang took a step back.
But he did not dare to stay in the bathroom either.
In the end, Shen Liang could only comfort himself.
It’s okay, it’s okay. The door… the door is locked properly.
“Knock, knock, knock.” A light and slow knock.
Shen Liang took this opportunity to wipe the sweat from his forehead. He was slightly relieved. See, I told you. The door is locked. It’s no big deal.
However, just as he was comforting himself like this, Shen Liang found in terror that the lock under the doorknob was quietly turning.
Perhaps it had found that knocking was not working, so the ghost outside was planning to come in directly.
“No… no…”
Shen Liang’s face was pale as he shook his head. Sweat had already covered his face. At this moment, he could not even feel his stomachache.
“No, no.”
Shen Liang’s mind was blank. He was almost left with only his body’s subconscious actions. By the time he reacted, he had already taken a step back, like an ostrich, and hidden in the bathroom.
And like a debtor, he had locked the bathroom door.
But Shen Liang knew that the thing outside was much more terrifying than a debtor.
Shen Liang swallowed. His brain slowly recovered its thinking after the stimulation just now.
Only then did he realize that he had done something stupid.
He should not have hidden in the bathroom. He should have taken the initiative to block the door!
If he had taken a step back and hidden in the bathroom, wouldn’t he be forcing himself into the last step?
If he had taken the initiative to go forward and hold the door firmly, then maybe the thing outside would have left after seeing that it could not turn it?
And even if the door was not safe, he could still retreat to the bathroom, unlike now, where he had retreated to the last step from the beginning.
However, it was useless to regret now.
Because Shen Liang did not dare to go out again.
The movements outside were very subtle. Even his own enlarged heartbeat could easily cover it. Shen Liang did not know what was going on outside, so at this moment, he did not dare to open the door, let alone go out.
He only had this one step left. He could only firmly resist here.
Shen Liang swallowed and pressed his ear against the door.
Then he heard a “click.”
The lock was completely opened.
The blood in Shen Liang’s back suddenly turned cold.
She… the ghost… the ghost is here?!
She’s in?
Then there was the sound of the door opening.
The door opened very slowly, and there was even a slight “creak,” just like the most classic scene in a horror movie.
Shen Liang’s eyes widened in terror, his hands and feet cold. For a moment, he did not even have the strength to breathe.
It was still the same footsteps and creaking sound as before, getting closer and closer, closer and closer to the bathroom.
Shen Liang suddenly came to his senses. He quickly reached out and held the handle and the lock, almost using all his strength.
Because Shen Liang knew very well at this moment that if he did not work hard now, then what awaited him would definitely be death.
Then, Shen Liang really felt the lock under his hand turning slightly.
His hands were covered in cold sweat, so that he could not hold the lock properly. Shen Liang immediately reached out with both hands and held it tightly, the veins on the back of his hands visible.
He did not want to die. He could not die. He still had to live and go out. He still had his own wish that had not been fulfilled. He really did not want to die!
Even now, Shen Liang had not thought of what had gone wrong. He thought that he was just unlucky, unlucky to have been chosen by a ghost.
Shen Liang not only had sweat on his forehead, but also tears in his eyes because of his terror. Although he was a grown man, at this moment, he was so scared that he was crying.
“I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die…”
Then he suddenly shouted, “Someone, help! Anyone, please save me! Please, come and save me! I don’t want to die…!”
However, no one could hear his hopeless cry for help.
His hands gradually lost their strength. The ghost standing outside the door’s strength was getting stronger and stronger. Shen Liang was almost desperate and scared as he watched the lock slowly turn.
Then, with a “click.”
The lock was unlocked.
Shen Liang was almost electrocuted and immediately held the doorknob.
It’s okay. He still has the last line of defense. As long as he holds the doorknob tightly and blocks the door, she won’t be able to get in.
My strength is very great. I can definitely… I can definitely…
The doorknob was slowly pressed down, and the door was slowly pushed open a crack, and then this crack became bigger and bigger.
Shen Liang’s eyes widened in terror, his pupils dilated.
He saw the ghost trying to break in from outside.
