Night!
Deadly night!
Creak—
The wooden floor of the old teaching building groaned faintly under Wang Tianci's feet.
Fuck!
He felt like he'd been struck by lightning! His whole body froze instantly! He held his breath! Cold sweat covered the back of his neck!
In the darkness, only his heart pounded frantically in his chest! Thump, thump, thump! It made his ears numb!
It paused for a full three seconds!
The corridor was completely silent.
The voice-activated light at the end of the hallway was dim.
Not on.
Safe!
Wang Tianci slowly and silently exhaled a breath of foul air and, like a ghost, continued to move forward, sticking to the cold, rough wall.
The air was filled with the mixed smell of dust and moldy paper.
The archives door!
Right in front of me!
That heavy, old woode
