After a while, Shen Zhizhu stood up.

"I guess after I left, the librarian thought everyone had left, so he turned off all the lights."

She talked to herself as she slowly groped her way out. Fortunately, there was moonlight coming in through the window so she could see something.

Suddenly, a slight rubbing sound came into her ears, and she felt a chill on her back instantly, and the hairs on her body stood up.

Suddenly I thought of what Wu Ping'er said in the evening.

"Someone died in the school before, and many people saw mysterious figures floating by at night."

The library was empty. When the lights were on, nothing seemed unusual. But now that the lights were turned off, only the cold moonlight from outside shone in.

It was pitch black everywhere, like a terrifying monster hiding in the darkness, with its mouth wide open, waiting for lost creatures to come to it at any time.

Shen Zhizhu held onto the door frame, carefully poked his head out, looked out bit by bit, and swallowed nervously.

"There can't be any incredible things, right? There must be, otherwise how would my life have started? But, what is that thing doing here in the middle of the night?"

In his previous life, Shen Zhizhu was also a horror movie fan. He would always cover himself with a blanket and watch them while sitting on the sofa with the lights on. He was the type of person who was not good at horror movies but loved to watch them.

But, loving to watch doesn’t mean you’re not afraid.

God knows what images are flashing through her mind right now. Just the things in her mind are enough to make her legs weak.

[No, no, you can't stay near the toilet. No matter whether it's domestic or foreign, the toilet is a taboo place. You can't stay there.]

She squatted, kept quiet, and moved in small steps to avoid making loud noises and attracting the attention of unknown entities outside.

"Sui Suo Suo——"

The tiny sound continued, and it seemed to be near her, accompanied by a faint light.

Ok?

Light?

Wait, this is not right, this is very wrong.

If it really is that thing, how can it have its own light? Even if it does, most of the ones shown in movies and TV series are green.

Why does this color look like a miner's lamp that is running out of power?

Thinking of this, she plucked up her courage and looked further outside. She actually saw a dark shadow with disheveled hair standing in front of her table.

What? Is this ghost also interested in these things?

The light came from behind the figure, and it was hard to tell whether it was a miner's lamp or not. It just stood straight in front of Shen Zhizhu's desk.

Shen Zhizhu had been squatting for a long time and his legs became numb. After he involuntarily took a small step forward, the sore and numb feeling filled his head and heart.

"hiss!"

That pain is something that I believe all students who have had numb legs know. It is impossible to guard against and she accidentally made a little sound.

There was no one in the library except Shen Zhizhu and that unknown figure. Therefore, even the slightest sound would be particularly clear in the empty environment.

The frightened figure and the light disappeared instantly. Shen Zhizhu reacted and realized that the black shadow was a human, a living person, not the ghost that his classmates had been talking about.

The moment the lights were turned off, the figure ran towards the door at such a speed that it looked as if there was a ghost chasing him.

The speed was so fast that Shen Zhizhu had no time to react. Even if she had reacted, she couldn't catch up.

Don't ask, the only thing I know is that my legs are still numb.

There was nothing he could do but watch the figure flee. Shen Zhizhu sat down on the ground.

"Could it be that the library administrator came in to check if there was anyone else there and was frightened by the noise I made? Plus, there are always rumors of scary figures everywhere in the school, so he thought the noise was made by a figure, so he ran away in fear."

Since the black shadow didn't take anything away, his first thought after hearing the sound was to run away, so it was understandable that she made such a guess.

"Hey, I was crouching. Even if that person turned around and saw me, she would be startled. Why didn't she turn on the light to check first, and then turn off the light after leaving? Now, not only did she scare me to death, but she was also scared and ran away."

After a while, the lights in the library were turned on, and light reappeared in Shen Zhizhu's world.

After resting for a while, the numbness in her legs finally subsided. She patted her butt, stood up and returned to her seat.

She saw that she had already packed half of her things, although they still looked the same as before she left her seat.

But Shen Zhizhu remembered that when she put it in, the pants in the design were just covered to the knees, but now, they had to be a little further inside.

Shen Zhizhu packed up his things calmly, but he felt that the man might not be the library manager.

Perhaps, this design draft can no longer be used. It is also her own fault. Why didn’t she be patient, pack up her things and take them into the bathroom?

"Hello, classmate. We are about to close. You should go back and have a rest early."

From afar, a mining lamp shone over, and at the same time, a voice came from far away. Shen Zhizhu looked over and saw that the man was wearing clothes and had neat short hair. It was a boy.

"Okay, I'll leave now."

Hearing Shen Zhizhu's reply, the boy was obviously relieved and walked towards her.

"I was scared to death. I kept hearing people talking about shadows these days. Just now, the library suddenly went dark. I didn't know what happened. I went to take a look and found that the power was tripped. Fortunately, you spoke up, otherwise I wouldn't dare to come over."

"Hey? Aren't you Shen Zhizhu? I recognize you."

The boy was a little excited. Perhaps it was because after being scared, he was excited to find out that the other person was a human, which made him talk more.

"Are you also a student at the Fashion Institute?"

Shen Zhizhu had already packed everything and put the canvas bag on his back, then he remembered and asked again.

"By the way, are you the only one on duty? Just now, someone came over with a miner's lamp, but seemed to be scared away by the noise I made. If she is your friend, please apologize to her for me. She is a little girl, so she must be scared."

Unexpectedly, the boy suddenly froze in place, feeling a little scared and wanting to cry but unable to.

"I, I don't have a partner. The person who was supposed to work with me took a leave today. I'm the only one on duty. Don't lie to me. This is too scary."
