The two of them held their flashlights, tiptoeing into the main entrance of the restaurant on the fourth floor.
Just then, they suddenly heard footsteps coming from the staircase behind them!
Run! Both of them, jolted with fear, rushed forward without a second thought.

By the time she struggled to push herself up, the footsteps had stopped. Then, in the faint beam of her distant flashlight, she saw a pair of worn-out shoes appear right in front of her.

Meanwhile, Gu Mian had already reached the third floor of the restaurant. Just as he was using his flashlight, trying to figure out which way to go, he suddenly heard something crash onto the floor above.
The sound seemed to be coming from the fourth floor.
He looked up at the ceiling. What in the world is going on up there?
