Because of Fu Anan's refusal, there was no sound in the room.
Although they lived in the same room, the middle of the room was used for reception. Fu Anan and Lu Shuang's beds were placed on the east and west sides of the living room. The beds were covered by screens and were the kind of beds with roofs and doors that were worn in ancient times.
With the screen in front and the bed curtains drawn, the distance is not close, so it can be called two rooms.
Fu Anan was lying on the bed, the silk quilt beneath her was more comfortable than living in a cave or on the floor. It was unclear whether Lu Shuang on the opposite side could fall asleep, but Fu Anan fell asleep quickly anyway.
late at night
The candles in the middle reception room were not extinguished. The flames flickered gently, emitting a faint light.
The entire Xiyuan was extremely quiet, with only the slightest sound of breathing.
A sudden knock on the door broke the silence.
The sound of knocking on the door seemed to be deliberately suppressed, but it was enough to wake people up in such a quiet environment.
Fu Anan's eyes moved under his eyelids. Although he didn't open his eyes, his ears had already pricked up.
The person outside lowered his voice and called them at the door, "Fu Xiaoan, Lu Shuang, are you awake? Come out quickly!"
It was No. 6 who was just taken away today.
She is back
But it's so late...
"Hey, I'm back from escaping, and I don't have much time."
"Everyone has gathered. The president and vice president have arrived at the gate of Dan Mansion. Everyone is ready to take the bus to leave this weird place. You two are the only ones missing!"
Fu Anan opened her eyes and looked at the dark ceiling of the bed, holding the quilt tightly in her hands, allowing her to talk outside.
She remembered the first rule that Nanny Dan had told her—not to go out at night and not to open the door to anyone.
The person outside the door continued talking, and seeing no response from inside she knocked on the door twice more.
"Is there really no one? Then I'm leaving."
As he finished speaking, the sound of someone getting out of bed and putting on shoes came from the other side.
Fu An'an suddenly got a start and sat up from the bed. She stretched out her hand to open the curtains, but suddenly pulled back before she could do anything. She took out the red card from the space and held it tightly in her hand, "Go back, don't open the door!"
Lu Shuang, who was already opening the door, shuddered when he heard this.
She quickly let go of his hand and ran back to her bed. In the dim light, she was bumped into by objects around her two or three times, and her shoes fell off.
"Xiao An, what happened? Luckily, I didn't open the door."
Lu Shuang sat back on the bed and called out to the other side, but Fu Anan was holding the quilt and had no time to answer her. The next second, there was a creaking sound from the door.
The door outside was opened, and the cold night wind lowered the temperature inside. The curtains that were originally blocking the view began to shake, making the scene outside vaguely visible. The originally warm candlelight began to jump wildly, gradually turning into a dark green color, and finally suddenly extinguished.
The room fell into complete darkness.
Ta, da, da.
Footsteps were heard outside and then slowly came in.
Getting closer and closer, listening to the voice of No. 6, Lu Shuang was trembling all over. It was right next to him, "I knew there were people inside. My good sisters, where have you gone?"
The thing outside spoke in the voice of Number 6 and reached out a hand in the darkness.
Lu Shuang covered herself with the quilt and lay tightly on the bed, not daring to move. She could feel the hand of No. 6 groping above her.
It wasn't until a long time later, when she was so nervous that she was about to bite her lips, that it finally stopped.
"He's not here... Did he go to the other side?"
Good night everyone~
