The small building is installed with an external iron staircase, someone, is going up the stairs .

The clang, clang sound, broke the original silence.

On the contrary, it makes people feel more empty and uneasy.

Step by step as if stepping on the heart, vaguely painful.

Is it her?

Heh, how is it possible.

She is not that kind of woman.

If I had died, maybe she would have just wired a sum of money as usual.

Only, the money was clearly listed as "funeral expenses" instead of "living expenses".

Clang, clang.

The sound of footsteps stopped and dissipated on this floor, and the sudden interruption made my heart miss a beat and I couldn't find a place to land.

The heart palpitates uncomfortably.

Then, the footsteps, slowly approaching towards this room.

Whoever it was, it couldn't have been her.

Clang, clang.

Even if she was going to die tomorrow, there is no way she would come here to take a look.

Clang, clang.

The sound of footsteps, stopped in front of the door of this room.

All of a sudden it became unusually quiet.

Stopped, whether it was the sound of footsteps, or the beating of my heart.

I don't know anything anymore.

My head was a jumble of thoughts.

If I could, I would like to die like this.

Don't want to see what's going to happen next.

But there is no way, absolutely no way, that she will come back.

So why am I getting nervous?

Nervous, just kidding.

The throat inexplicably feels a little dry and thirsty, though she obviously just drank water.

I picked up the glass of water by my side with my hand, but the water spilled all over the floor.

What's wrong?

When I moved my eyes to the glass of water, I realized that my hand was trembling violently.

Buzzzzzzzzz.

The electric bell was rung.

Let's open the door.

But my feet won't listen to me.

I'm afraid of something.

Buzzzzzzzz.

For the first time, the sound of the bell made me feel afraid.

My throat became even thirstier, and I couldn't even said 'Plz wait'.

Buzzzzzzzz.

It was so noisy.

The mundane ringing of the electric bell made every hair on my body stand up and tormented my nerves.

Buzzzzzzzz.

Forced my body toward the door, but slammed straight up against the floor.

My nose felt a soreness and I subconsciously put my hand on it, but it didn't bleed.

This not only made the soreness seem unreal, but also made it impossible for me to believe what was happening right now.

Buzzzzzzzz.

The body that was resisting forced me to crawl forward on the ground.

The dusty ground, after I crawled, left a white track.

The crawling me was as ugly as a maggot.

Holding the door and leaning against the wall, I finally stood up at the door.

Buzzzzzzzz.

Giving myself no more time to escape, I pulled down the handle of the door with one breath.

"Hello, I'm the janitor downstairs ......"

"......"

Yes, it's the janitor.

How could it be her.
