......

Thinking about these things in her mind, Li Wei walked with heavy steps on the bluestone path, step by step, towards the depths of the town.

The rain flowed down the edge of the umbrella, forming a curtain of water.

Outside the water curtain are slightly old buildings and lattice windows that have been eroded by wind and rain.

The air was filled with the mixed smell of moisture and rotten wood, and there was a feeling of desolation and decay everywhere.

As she went deeper, her scalp felt a little numb and goose bumps gradually appeared on her body.

She had an illusion that behind those tightly closed doors and in those dark window frames, there were countless pairs of eyes staring at her!

She wanted to shout "Is anyone there?", but was afraid of being thought of as a psychopath.

As a last resort, she had to hum some discordant songs to give herself courage.

......

A quarter of an hour later...

Finally, a gray three-story building came into view, with a faded sign hanging at the door - Huaixi Town Government.

The lights were still on in the office on the second floor facing the street.

Although it was noon, the thick dark clouds and dense rain made the sky and the earth dark.

The bright light actually made Li Wei feel relieved.

Tap tap tap!

She quickened her pace and jogged a few steps. When she entered the iron gate, she found that the communication room was pitch black and there seemed to be no one there.

But she did not stop. Instead, she quickly crossed the courtyard and walked to the door of the service hall.

He folded his umbrella, shook off the rain, and stood under the eaves.

Then she rubbed the water stains on her sneakers on the old floor mat before pushing the door open.

......

There was no one in the hall either.

There were only a few yellowed posters hanging on the wall and two rows of benches with peeling paint.

"Is anyone there?" she called softly.

“…”

All she got in response was still dead silence.

"this......"

Li Wei scratched her head and had to go up to the second floor along the side of the hall using the cement stairs with a strong 1980s style.

Sniff~

As soon as she stood still, she smelled a faint fragrance of locust flowers.

But she didn't care and looked around.

All of a sudden, I saw the lighted office at the end of the corridor on the right.

"call......"

Li Wei breathed a sigh of relief and was about to go over.

Bang!

A loud bang exploded in the quiet corridor.

"ah!"

Li Wei screamed in fright and almost fell down.

She turned her head stiffly and looked in the direction of the sound.

It was an office with no sign.

The door that was closed just now suddenly opened wide.

There was a woman standing at the door.

She was wearing pitch-black clothes and was soaked all over, with black water droplets constantly dripping from the corners of her clothes and the ends of her hair.

Her hair was long and loose, covering her entire face.

She just stood there quietly.

"ah--!"
