After Qian Wang left, I crawled into bed. Maybe because I was so tired, I didn't even know how I managed to fall asleep to the thunderous snoring of Seow Qiang.
"Hehehe..."
In my sleep, I felt that eerie laughter echoing in my ears again and again. It was getting harder and harder to breathe, as if someone was strangling me. With a loud shout, I suddenly opened my eyes, and everything in front of me left me dumbfounded. Wasn't I asleep? How did I end up here?
I looked around and only when I saw the dimly-lit small shop across the street did I remember why this place seemed familiar; this was the place I had visited in my dreams before, where that old woman who asked others for the time while looking for a scapegoat chased me to the very end.
