A long and eerie creaking sound was heard as the old hinges of the door were used again after ages. The sound echoed in the empty hallway of the second floor of the Purple Old Manor where two people, who should not have been here, especially at this hour of the night, stood. One of them has his hand on the door after he pushed it open. Well, not surprisingly, the door was unlocked and was even not closed.
After all, who would close the door, and even lock it, of a house that has been abandoned for decades? Not to mention that it is haunted. So, even thieves would not risk their lives just for money despite the idiom 'birds die for food, as humans die for wealth'. This is reality. And people fear the most what's unknown.
This doesn't exclude Duan Yuan, of course.
Duan Yuan took a deep breath to hide his nervousness. He doesn't want to worry Su Yu again, especially when he 'saw' that the evil qi inside the room is even stronger than the one surrounding the entire manor.
