Ning Chen didn't dare to stay alone in the dormitory anymore.After much deliberation, he decided to go to the library for a day.

They have a strong university study atmosphere, and the library is always full.Ning Chen searched for a long time before finding a place.

After sitting down, looking at the crowds of people around, Ning Chen breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly felt extremely relieved.

It was very quiet in the library, without any sound.Everyone around is studying hard.

Ning Chen also took out the textbook from his schoolbag, wanting to review the content of the course.He tried his best to concentrate on staring at the pages of the book, but found to his dismay that he couldn't even read a single line.

"Ugh……"

Ning Chen sighed and lay down on the table tiredly.He opened his eyes wide and stared blankly at the textbook, but his mind was not on the book at all.

He didn't know what he was thinking, maybe he was recalling the past, or maybe he wasn't thinking about anything.His mind was in chaos, so chaotic that even he couldn't tell it apart.

But... so sleepy.

Maybe it was because the environment was too quiet, Ning Chen gradually felt that his eyelids were almost closing.He didn't sleep well last night, and his nerves have been tense for the past two days.To be honest, he is very tired now, and he really wants to have a good sleep like this.

But he dared not sleep.He was afraid that if he closed his eyes, he would fall into the terrible nightmare of yesterday again.

Ning Chen yawned, pulled himself together, and continued to stare at the words on the book.

stare--

He stared wide-eyed, scanning the words on the book word by word.But staring at him, his vision gradually became loose, and his eyes couldn't close at all.

Unable to resist the torrential drowsiness at all, Ning Chen fell asleep in the library.

This time the dream was peaceful.

He didn't dream of any nonsense.

……

"Student, classmate...?"

Someone... is calling him?

Ning Chen opened his eyes slowly, but there was still a haze in them.The librarian with the hat leaned over and pushed his shoulder, and said softly, "Student, the library is closing, you have to leave."

Ning Chen straightened up, his brain that just woke up hadn't been able to react to the situation, so he just murmured: "Did I fall asleep?"

The library staff smiled at him, "Probably."

Ning Chen looked around, only to realize that there was no one in the museum.The sky outside the window was already dark, and a half-hidden and half-extinguished light was shining in the corner of the library, swaying faintly.

"Is everyone else gone?"

"Yes," the staff replied, "you are the only one left in the library."

Ning Chen glanced at his phone, it was almost twelve o'clock.He immediately packed up his schoolbag, "Sorry, I'm leaving now."

He scrambled the books into his schoolbag, and with a bang, he accidentally knocked the pen off the table with his elbow.The staff member bent down to pick up the pen and handed it to Ning Chen.

"Student, be careful," the staff member said in a gentle voice, "Your pen fell off."

"Oh, thanks."

Ning Chen reached out to take the pen.When holding the pen, he accidentally touched the other person's skin.

It's so cold, like ice cubes, with a bone-chilling chill.

Ning Chen was stunned for a moment, the other party's body temperature must have been too low... so low that it didn't look like a living person.

... living?

He trembled, and for a moment, he felt as if he had caught something.But after thinking about it carefully, I couldn't find anything wrong.

After packing up her schoolbag, Ning Chen followed the footsteps of the staff and walked outside.

"Do you feel happy with your life now?"

In the corridor, the staff member walking in front suddenly asked.

This question is really weird.Moreover, based on the relationship between them when they first met, it seemed too shallow.

Logically speaking, Ning Chen should be perfunctory.But for some reason, his tongue spit out the real answer as if he couldn't control it.

"Do not."

Ning Chen murmured in a trance, "I'm not happy."

Ever since Su Mufei died, he felt as if he had lost a certain ability called joy.Guilt, guilt, self-loathing... All kinds of emotions were mixed together, making him feel like a boulder was pressing on his back, which was extremely heavy.

"is it?"

The staff laughed lightly and said nothing more.The two of them continued walking toward the door.

The library is very quiet, there is no sound, only very light breathing and footsteps can be faintly heard.

It was eerily quiet.Ning Chen thought, he subconsciously increased his footsteps, and the echoing voice in the corridor immediately became louder.

etc--

Ning Chen suddenly discovered something.

——Why, here, only, his own footsteps?

Ning Chen tightened his pupils, he subconsciously looked at the staff's feet, and then felt a chill all over his body.

There is no shadow.

— That person has no shadow.

The hairs all over Ning Chen's body stood on end immediately, and he looked at the person in front of him in horror—or rather, it wasn't a person, but some kind of abnormal existence.

"You are……"

Ning Chen's eyes were bloodshot, staring at the back of the "staff", his voice was hoarse and dry.

"……what……!"

"Have you found it?"

The staff member shrugged, then turned around slowly.What fell in Ning Chen's eyes was a blank face.

This face has no facial features, no eyes and no nose, just like a collapsed ball of flour, only a mouth that is so big that it is almost weird.

But at this moment, the mouth was grinning high, almost reaching the ears, with a creepy smile.

"...What do you say I am...?"

The moment he saw this face clearly, Ning Chen covered his mouth in fear, and a scream escaped from his throat.

He tried his best to recall the other person's face and voice before, but found that he couldn't recall it at all, and this part of his memory was fuzzy.

The Faceless Thing uttered his name ambiguously.

"... Ah Chen."

Ning Chen was shocked.At this moment, with a bang, all the remaining lights in the library were extinguished, and the windows were rattled by the howling wind.

The figure of the other party was hidden in the darkness, as if being blown away by the wind, it just disappeared without a trace.

Ning Chen's eyes widened in disbelief, he stretched out his hand to fish it out, but found nothing.

He bit his lip, made a quick decision, and ran quickly towards the library door.Ning Chen's footsteps were flustered and disorderly, he only had one thought in his mind at the moment.

escape.

He wants to get out of this place immediately.

Finally running to the gate, Ning Chen eagerly wanted to open it.

The door is locked.

Ning Chen's heart sank, and he tried to unscrew the door lock again and again, but it didn't work at all.

He was anxious and panicked, his heart was beating so fast it was about to explode.Ning Chen slammed on the door so hard that it hurt.

"Is anyone... is anyone out there?"

He was about to cry, "Is there anyone... help me..."

No one responded to him.

There was only an eternal silence.The gate remained motionless, standing there quietly.

"what--!"

Ning Chen yelled in panic, because he suddenly felt a hand stretch out from behind, covering his mouth.

"Woooo..." Ning Chen struggled desperately, but his body was bound tighter and tighter.His body seemed to be grabbed by some invisible force, dragging him back.

"Ah... help... I..."

Ning Chen opened his eyes wide, and there was a layer of water vapor in his eyes.He stretched out his hand with all his strength, trying to grab the front door, but his body was dragged back step by step and forcibly.

He watched helplessly as he got further and further away from the door.

His whole body was buried in the darkness.

"Ah... woo... don't..."

Ning Chen closed his eyes in despair, and let out a weak groan from his lips.He felt countless hands touching his body, and the cold and ghostly laughter echoed in the empty library.

The voice was calling—

Ah Chen.

... Ah Chen.

The ghost repeated his name over and over again, his voice was ambiguous and sticky, full of morbid obsession.

My, Chen.

Ning Chen's sanity was on the verge of collapse.He could clearly feel the cold and sticky touch constantly moving around his body.

This is a very strange feeling.

It seems to be entangled in cold water, and it seems to be trapped in a jelly jelly.

The perception of his whole body was dominated by the other party, every nerve and every cell was immersed in the teasing of the other world.

very scary.

The unprecedented strange feeling made Ning Chen tremble all over.His face was covered with tears, and he kept whimpering, begging for mercy in shame.

If someone else is here, seeing this scene will definitely feel strange.In their eyes, the handsome and beautiful young man was suspended in the air alone, with disheveled hair, flushed face, and loose eyes, just like an idiot.

But there was no one in the library.It is also impossible for anyone to see this beautiful picture.

This torture, which no one knew about, lasted all night.When Ning Chen was finally put down, he had completely lost consciousness, even his voice was hoarse, and the moment he opened his mouth there was a burning pain.

"Ugh..."

Ning Chen was powerlessly paralyzed on the ground, his eyes were empty and lifeless.His whole body was so sore and limp that he couldn't even move a finger.

Exhaustion, fear, pain, and some kind of unknown emotion... All kinds of feelings were intertwined, making him cry silently.

"You're back……"

Ning Chen muttered to himself.The person who was most entangled with his life has returned.

"What are you doing back here..." He seemed to be talking to himself.

— Did you come back to take revenge on him?

Ning Chen swallowed the remaining half of the sentence in his mouth, and swallowed it silently.

He was in a mess and lay down in the library for a long time.After feeling a little bit of strength recovered, Ning Chen staggered and got up from the ground.

He limped to the library door.This time, the door was unlocked, and he easily opened the door.

Ning Chen turned his head and stared blankly at the library.The library was pitch black, like a deep whirlpool, trying to swallow countless secrets.

Thinking of that terrible memory tonight, he bit his lip, turned around, and fled the place without hesitation.
