98 The Haunted Tree

The night was silent.

In the basement, Luo Yuan was lying in a sleeping bag with his eyes tightly closed.

Huang Jiahui was tossing and turning. She could not fall asleep, so she decided to just give up. She sat up in her sleeping bag and whispered,“Please say something. What’s happening?”

Luo Yuan suddenly opened his eyes, “Shhh, keep quiet. Something is moving.”

Huang Jiahui was about to ask what it was when she heard something moving around in the basement too. She held her breath while her heart beat fast. The basement was very dark and she was still in her sleeping bag, so she was not able to see what was happening.

When Luo Yuan opened up his sleeping bag, she saw a shadow stand up somewhere in the back, near where they were sleeping. Its movement was quite stiff and its steps were unsteady. It was such a strange, dark scene. It gave Huang Jiahui goosebumps.

She covered her mouth tight, but her eyes reflected her fear.
