The equipment room was huge, the display racks were a mess, and there was an old mannequin tilted upside down in the corner. The model’s eyeball was missing, and the lights had been turned on, making it even more terrifying.

Shi Mu stood in front of the window and looked down. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a black shadow drifting past his eyes. He heard a loud bang, and something fell in front of him.

Fu Yunshen obviously noticed this situation. After frowning twice, he got up and walked in front of Shi Mu and handed her a rag: “I’ll clean this side; you go over there.”

Shi Mu was slightly startled and looked up at him.

The young man’s lips were slightly pursed, and his drooping eyelids covered his eyes, which were as bright as stars. He was quiet and low, indifferent and cold.

He was thinking about her.

Fu Yunshen was indeed afraid that his stepmother’s spirit would hurt her, so he moved out of the dormitory and lived in a haunted house. Perhaps in Fu Yunshen’s heart, ghosts were easier to get along with than humans.

With complicated thoughts, she held the rag tightly: “Let’s clean this side tomorrow, and I’ll wipe the equipment over there with you.”

Fu Yunshen’s eyes were deep, and he finally hummed.

“Do you think this place is haunted? I heard from the seniors of the previous class that after eight o’clock, you will see a pair of red dancing shoes.”

Zhou Zhi glanced at his watch, and his voice began to tremble. “It’s only fifteen minutes before eight o’clock.”

Fu Yunshen’s indifferent face finally had a trace of expression. The corners of his lips were slightly hooked, and his eyes mocked, “If you are afraid, you can go back to find your mother now.”

Zhou Zhi’s back stiffened, and he couldn’t help raising his voice: “Who said I’m scared? Stop joking, how could I be afraid of these monsters?”

“Since you are not afraid, go and change the water.”

“…” Damn, he got tricked.

It was only then that Zhou Zhi realized that he had been tricked by Fu Yunshen’s aggressive tactics, but he couldn’t deny it. If he did, he would assume that he was timid.

He did not want to be looked down upon by Fu Yunshen, so he gritted his teeth and picked up the bucket, saying, “I’ll go. What could possibly happen?”

Looking at Zhou Zhi’s stubborn back, the smile on Fu Yunshen’s lips deepened a bit.

After the person left, he raised his hand and continued to wipe the cabinet. Shi Mu blinked twice, leaned over, and asked cautiously, “Fu Yunshen, what if this place is really haunted?”

“Humans are scarier than ghosts.” Fu Yunshen raised his chin; the lines of his side face were unusually good-looking, and his eyes were clear and bright, full of unconcealable sadness and loneliness.

Shi Mu’s heart moved slightly, and he couldn’t help bowing his head. “You’re right, ghosts and gods are rare in this world, but villains with two legs run all over the streets.”

Fu Yun cast a sidelong glance at her, and when he opened his mouth to say something, Zhou Zhi came in from the outside carrying water.

Boom.

Zhou Zhi put the water heavily on the ground and said, “I brought the water back; what can you say?”

“It’s eight o’clock. Let’s come back tomorrow.” Putting down the rag, Fu Yunshen pulled down his rolled-up cuffs.

Zhou Zhi: “…”

Zhou Zhi: “……”

“Fu Yunshen, are you kidding me?!”

Fu Yunshen sneered: “It seems that you are not too stupid.”

“You mother…” Zhou Zhi couldn’t bear it anymore and rushed straight at Fu Yunshen, saying, “Today I will beat you until you call me daddy!”

Fu Yunshen narrowed his eyes and stepped back a little. Zhou Zhi couldn’t dodge in time, and his tall body slammed into the display cabinet next to him. There was a crackling sound, and the things in the cabinet fell all over the floor.

He covered his shoulders and grinned in pain. Just as he was about to open his mouth to scold his mother, he noticed a pair of white dancing shoes falling by his feet.

Zhou Zhi’s pupils shrank, and his expression gradually became stiff.

“Here, why are there dancing shoes here?”

Boom!!

Bang bang!!

There were three sounds in succession; all the windows and doors were closed, and after the overhead light bulb flickered four times, the entire equipment room fell into dead silence.

The sudden darkness prevented the three of them from reacting. Shi Mu looked around but couldn’t see anything clearly, and her heart suddenly beat a few beats faster.

As the wind blew, the pair of dancing shoes on the ground suddenly floated onto the window sill. Immediately afterwards, Shi Mu saw a girl appear in the window.

“Ah—!!! Mom, there’s a ghost!”

“Mom, I want to go home!”

This eunuch-like cry should be Zhou Zhi’s escape.

“Don’t mess around.” Before he finished speaking, Shi Mu felt a pain in her chest, as if she were being tightly grasped by two hands, and it was painful.

The severe pain caused her to kneel on the ground in an instant. Shi Mu couldn’t help covering her chest; her brows furrowed tightly.

[Eat………]

[Eat…it…it]

Who is speaking?

Shi Mu’s eyes were stunned, and she couldn’t help saying silently in her heart: [System?]

System: [It’s not me; it’s your worm; it seems to want to come out early.]

Shi Mu remembered.

Her venomous worm was born with soul and flesh. It possessed treachery and desires that should not be there. It could suck the essence of men to maintain life, and it could also devour evil ghosts and resentful spirits to enhance their abilities.

There was still one year before the venomous worm was born. It must be preparing to lure Shi Mu to eat the female ghost and strengthen its ability to come out earlier. Unfortunately, Shi Mu could not let it happen.
