"Possessed by a ghost?" Li Chonghe's voice was slightly panicked. "We made sure all the doors and windows were closed."

As he spoke, he seemed about to get up, preparing to go to Cen Yu's side to test the waters.

For a moment, things got a little chaotic in the living room... Cen Yu couldn't see anything, but he could feel someone walking towards him, and then someone groped and touched his cheek, "Now?"

Cen Yu recognized it as Yu Xinyu's voice.

“It’s all right now,” Cen Yu said. He didn’t dodge Yu Xinyu’s hand, but looked into the darkness, probably in the direction of Gu Hanyin. “I remember I didn’t move just now…”

"You really felt it move?"

“I felt you stand up and leave the living room,” Gu Hanyin said, though he seemed to still be sitting in the same spot. “But you said you didn’t move… so you might really be possessed by a ghost.”

He spoke calmly, as if he didn't think being possessed by a ghost was a big deal.

Cen Yu thought to himself—of course he didn't care, this person was just staying in the small jar by himself.

Li Chonghe walked up to Cen Yu in the dark. "Hold my hand," he said, squatting down to take Cen Yu's hand in his. "What if that thing tries to harm you?"

"They might just make you jump out the window."

Upon hearing Li Chonghe's words, Cen Yu knew that his plan had come to an end.

As expected, Li Chonghe's words resonated with the remaining two, who then moved closer to Cen Yu. Yu Xinyu took Cen Yu's free hand, while Gu Hanyin sat down beside her, demonstrating their agreement through their actions.

Cen Yu, we are worried about you.

"Is your birth chart too weak?" Li Chonghe asked again. "I've heard that people with weak birth charts are more susceptible to being possessed by ghosts."

Cen Yu thought of her rental contract... Could it be that her fate was too weak, which is why she encountered such strange things?

Gu Hanyin was obviously dead, and the remaining two Cen Yus also doubted whether they were alive or dead.

But when Cen Yu thought about the rumors circulating in this neighborhood, he felt that Yu Xinyu and Li Chonghe were probably not even alive.

Around midnight, the lights in the community square suddenly came on. As the night went on, more and more ghosts appeared. In order to deal with the sudden increase in the number of ghosts, the community prepared a number of countermeasures.

One example is the cluster of lights in the square. In order to attract the attention of ghosts, not only were there decoys placed in the square, which were specially sprinkled with blood, but also some offerings were placed there in an attempt to prevent these ghosts from harming the residents of the community.

—The moment the lights are turned on, some of the ghosts that used to dwell in the residential buildings will be attracted to the small square, giving the people inside a chance to survive.

The moment the lights came on, Cen Yu looked at what was reflected behind the curtains and suddenly froze.

It was a tall, slender figure.

It was nearly four or five stories tall, and the entire creature resembled a bamboo pole. The floor where Cen Yu and the others were located was right at the chest of this monster.

Seemingly sensing the light behind it, the ghost found it too bright and raised its arm to block the light.

Those were long arms that almost reached their knees, thin like stick insects, with only fingernails covering the hands.

The thing slowly turned around...

Cen Yu in the living room barely dared to breathe, perhaps because she felt unwilling to leave like this.

The thing slowly bent over again.

Cen Yu saw a head that occupied half the size of the window, pressed tightly against the living room window.

You know he's watching you.

Although the windows had been specially covered, Cen Yu still tensed up, and Yu Xinyu beside him leaned against him in fear.

Li Chonghe gripped Cen Yu's hand tightly, as if worried that the creature might smell their scent and break through the window.

The thing seemed to sense that there were countless delicious humans inside this huge "box" in front of it... Its face was pressed against the glass, and its long, sharp fingernails tentatively tapped at the glass.

'Da da da'

A series of knocking sounds came from the glass...

Cen Yu gestured to Li Chonghe with her eyes, then looked at the two people beside her, wanting to ask—

Is this glass sturdy?

Gu Hanyin nodded and made a gesture. Cen Yu understood that it meant the glass was coated with talisman water that ghosts and monsters disliked, so it shouldn't be so easy to break.

Cen Yu was just about to breathe a sigh of relief—

"Bang!"

The glass shattered the next second; the thing smashed through the glass and squeezed its head inside.

Cen Yu: "..."

Where exactly did Gu Hanyin buy the counterfeit products?

The moment the glass shattered, Cen Yu clearly felt the thing's excitement... He seemed to sense the presence of a living person hidden inside, and impatiently, he pulled back the curtains and poked his head inside.

—What kind of face was that?

A deathly pale face, a balloon-like head, eyes sewn shut, a hole in the nose, but a mouth that curves down to the ears, through which you can clearly see jagged teeth and flesh stuck between them.

His eyesight wasn't good, just like the monster Cen Yu encountered in the supermarket.

He twitched his nose and peeked his head a little further into the living room... as if he had sensed the presence of a human in the room.

Just as Cen Yu thought he was going to crawl in through the window, he shook his head in confusion and searched the room for a while. Finally, probably because the lights of the square behind him were too attractive to him, he crawled out of the window with his head and slowly walked towards the small square behind him.
