Lady From Spell

Huang Jing Er is still thinking when a loud sound makes the people in that place become so curious yet they are afraid enough to come closer to the source of the sound. Actually, Huang Jing Er is the same curious as them but she was too lazy to move her body so Huang Jing Er just stayed in her spot and did nothing until she saw a torchlight illuminate the dark place.

Huang Jing Er is a little bit stunned when she sees the man that she saw in the restaurant this afternoon. That man comes closer to seeing her with a curious gaze.

"Hey! You were here?!" That Man looks stunned as Huang Jing Er does. That man sees Huang Jing Er for a while before he looks around with a torchlight on his right arm hurriedly. "We have to get out of this place soon." He said without looking at her.

Actually, Huang Jing Er wants to ask a lot of questions but that man is so busy to look around but his acts make Huang Jing Er become more curious.

"Hey, what are you looking for?" Huang Jing Er asked the mysterious man.

"An exit." He responded as he still looked around.

"Alright, but don't you see there are a lot of people here! Your act will make them panic." Huang Jing Er said as her words make that man turned around and looking around one more time then he looked back at Huang Jing Er with a curious gaze. "Do you see them? So please don't make them panic or they will become more afraid."

"What? Are you serious?" That man looked around once more and looked back at Huang Jing Er.

"Yes! So please calm down." Huang Jing Er said to him with a low voice.

That man looked at Huang Jing Er one more time as he doesn't understand what happened with her.

"Are you still sick? Then, I think we have to get out of this place sooner." He said to Huang Jing Er seriously.

Huang Jing Er was stunned with what he said to her. That man said that she is still sick? That's impossible! Huang Jing Er is tired indeed but she isn't sick. That girl is really confused because that man acts as he knew her but the fact they just met this afternoon.

"Hey, do you know me?" Huang Jing Er asked him because she was really curious about his reaction since they met at the restaurant. That man acted weird.

That man stopped in front of a wall. His left hand that brings the torchlight takes a look at the stone wall that is filled with so many cravings. He touches the stone carefully. After she looked how that man touch the stone, she becomes sure there is a hidden code between so many cravings over here and by thinking something like that make her become so curious so she wants to touch it too but when Huang Jing Er is almost touching a carving on the wall, that man grabs her wrist as if he prohibits her from touching the cravings.

"Don't touch the cravings recklessly." He warned her with a sharp gaze.

"Alright. I understand." Huang Jing Er said. "You can let go of my hand right now."

Huang Jing Er looked back to make sure that the girls were alright after she looked at that girl who was still sitting on the ground as she looked at Huang Jing Er with a hopeful gaze. Huang Jing Er almost wants to come closer to her but again, that man grabs her left wrist.

"What happened?" Huang Jing Er looked at him with a curious gaze.

"Don't leave. Stay here." He said firmly with a low voice.

"How old are you, huh? Let me go." Huang Jing Er insisted.

"Could you just stay here?" That man said without looking at her.

"Alright! I will stay here." Huang Jing Er was annoyed. "So could you please let me go right now?"

That man touches a carving on the wall. The carvings look so similar to other carvings but not long time the walls separated into two parts. Huang Jing Er is startled as the moonlight penetrates the darkroom little by little and makes the room become dimly lit. Her vision becomes better so Huang Jing Er looks back but she sees nothing. Huang Jing Er finds out there are her and that man in this place. What are they?

"Where did they go?" Huang Jing Er looked back at that girl but the girl just disappeared. Is she just gone right now?

"Hey! What are you looking for?" That man asked as he looked at her confusedly.

That man catches Huang Jing Er's left wrist then pulls her to get out from that place. Huang Jing Er still can't process everything yet until she realizes that they were in the backyard of the manor. The moonlight looks so enchanting tonight. She doesn't have time to look back because the thick mist just appears and nothing that she sees nothing except the pavilion in the backyard.

"Hey! Why do you always grab my wrist?! I can walk by myself." Huang Jing Er protested.

"Hey! Actually, you have to say thanks to me." That man said to her. "I don't know what you have seen at that place but I will tell you something." That man looked at Huang Jing Er with a serious face. "There were you and me in that place at that time." He said.

Huang Jing Er looked so shocked after hearing what he said because Huang Jing Er really sees the girl and a lot of people over there. After Huang Jing Er got out of the place, she realized there is something weird indeed in that place. Actually, she feels a little bit scared but she acts cool in front of that man because she doesn't want that man to bully her by mentioning this if they meet again.

"Don't forget about your promise." He said.

"What? What promise?" Huang Jing Er became so confused by hearing what he said to her.
