"Don't panic, try to calm down..."
Yuwen Hao hadn't even finished speaking when a loud crashing noise came from the other side of the phone, as if it had been forcibly thrown to the ground. This was immediately followed by Lin Yue'er's piercing scream.
And then, the call was abruptly cut off.
He trembled, trying to redial, but her number was already unreachable.
The room plunged into an eerie silence. Yuwen Hao clutched the phone, unsure whether to put it down or keep holding it.
Just then, he felt an intense sense of being watched, as if something had been staring intently at him all along.
His gaze slowly shifted to his bedroom door. It was tightly shut, not even a sliver of a gap showing.
He then looked up, his gaze settling on the transom window above the door.
The transom window was transparent, and from his angle, he could see the living room ceiling.
