Time passed by, minute by minute, and soon the clock in the room struck 7 o'clock.

At this moment, some unusual noises appeared at the tightly closed door, with regular knocking sounds coming from outside.

"Open the door!"

Yu Xinyu's voice came from the other side of the door.

"That's not me inside!"

"Open the door!"

Cen Yu looked at Yu Xinyu sitting on the other side of the sofa. As if noticing Cen Yu's gaze, Yu Xinyu immediately waved his hand, indicating that the one outside was not him.

The knocking grew louder, and then Cen Yu heard the sound of glass being shattered.

By this time, the sky outside was completely dark.

The cloth covering the window wasn't very thick, and Cen Yu could vaguely see the dense handprints behind the window.

No one spoke in the living room. Cen Yu leaned against the sofa, Li Chonghe was eating the sandwich he had bought, and Gu Hanyin and Yu Xinyu remained silent.

Soon, Cen Yu heard the sound of breaking glass, followed by screams.

But not here.

Just then, the living room lights flickered a few times and then suddenly went out.

The entire living room was plunged into darkness. Cen Yu sat on the sofa without moving, but he felt something approaching him.

Those were very, very cold hands.

He gently stroked Cen Yu's cheek.

Soon, another hand grabbed his neck.

Cen Yu snorted coldly and grabbed the hands that were choking him—

"If you try anything funny again, I'll break your...thing!"

"Cen Yu?" Li Chonghe's voice rang out in the darkness, "Who are you talking to?"

“Talking to a pervert who dares not show his face.” Cen Yu said, breaking off those hands and taking out a lighter from his pocket.

A flame appeared... There was no one else in the living room besides the four of them.

“Candles.” Cen Yu gestured to Li Chonghe to put out the candles they had bought.

Li Chonghe immediately took out the candles he had bought in case of a power outage. After Cen Yu lit them, he used wax to fix several candles to the table in the living room.

"To prevent any accidents from happening when we go back to our rooms to sleep," Cen Yu said, "I suggested that we rest in the living room tonight and take turns standing guard."
