"Sister, wake up, it's almost noon," Xue Li said, her voice tinged with concern.
"Looks like you haven't eaten in days," she added, noticing her sister's lethargy.
Xue Liu slowly opened her eyes and saw her little sister standing beside her.
"It's time, big sister. You have to wake up."
Xue Liu's eyes snapped open, her breath coming in ragged gasps as she jolted upright underneath the tree. The remnants of her nightmare still clung to her, wrapping around her like a suffocating fog. Heart pounding, she pressed a trembling hand to her chest, trying to calm the frantic rhythm beneath her fingertips.
As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting hues of orange and pink across the sky, Xue Liu found herself surrounded by the gentle patter of rain. Each droplet kissed the earth with a delicate touch, sending ripples through the puddles that had formed beneath the tree's canopy. The scent of petrichor filled the air, mingling with the fresh aroma of wet grass and leaves. Xue Liu couldn't help but feel a sense of solace in the tranquil beauty of the twilight rain.
In the distance, through the haze of rain and fading light, Xue Liu could make out the silhouette of a ruined village. Its crumbling walls stood as silent sentinels against the passage of time, a haunting reminder of lives once lived and lost. Despite the eerie sight, there was a strange allure to the abandoned settlement, drawing Xue Liu's gaze like a moth to a flame.
Xue Liu stood underneath the shelter of a sturdy oak tree, her gaze fixed on the silhouette of the ruined village looming in the distance. The rain continued to fall softly around her, its rhythmic patter providing a soothing backdrop to her thoughts. Yet, despite the tranquil beauty of the twilight rain, an uneasy feeling gnawed at the pit of her stomach.
Should I go? The question echoed in her mind, bouncing off the walls of her uncertainty. The village, with its crumbling walls and shadowed alleys, held an undeniable allure an invitation into the unknown. But with that allure came a sense of trepidation, a whisper of danger that sent a shiver down Xue Liu's spine.
Her rational mind urged caution, reminding her of the countless tales of goblins and orcs that haunted abandoned places such as this. Stories of fierce creatures lurking in the darkness, waiting to ensnare unsuspecting travelers in their clutches. Yet, even as she acknowledged the very real dangers that awaited her, Xue Liu couldn't shake the feeling that she had to go.
What secrets lie hidden within those crumbling walls? Xue Liu wondered, her imagination spinning tales of forgotten treasures and ancient mysteries waiting to be uncovered. The allure of the unknown beckoned to her, its siren song pulling at her heartstrings with irresistible force.
But with that allure came risk a risk she was willing to take. What if goblins and orcs roamed the abandoned streets, their eyes gleaming with malice as they hunted for prey? What if she never returned from the depths of the abandoned village, lost to the clutches of the creatures that dwelled within?
Yet, even as doubt clouded her mind, a spark of determination flickered to life within Xue Liu's chest. She couldn't ignore the pull of adventure, the thrill of exploration that called out to her with each passing moment. And so, with a steadying breath and a resolute step forward, Xue Liu made her decision.
I have to know. With that simple declaration, she set her course towards the ruined village, her heart pounding with a mixture of fear and excitement. Whatever awaited her within those crumbling walls, Xue Liu was determined to uncover its secrets, to face the unknown and emerge victorious, no matter the cost.
As Xue Liu's determination surged within her, she broke into a sprint, her footsteps splashing through the puddles left by the gentle rain. Each breath she took felt charged with urgency, the pounding of her heart matching the rhythm of her swift stride. With each step, the looming silhouette of the ruined village drew closer, its shadowy form becoming a beacon of hope in the dimming light.
The wind whispered through the trees, carrying with it the echoes of urgency and necessity. Xue Liu could feel the weight of responsibility pressing down upon her as she approached the abandoned village, a sense of urgency driving her forward. Despite the unknown dangers that lay ahead, she pushed on, fueled by the desperate need to reach the village and whatever aid or assistance it might offer.
As Xue Liu cautiously stepped into the abandoned village, her senses heightened, she scanned her surroundings for any signs of danger. The rain had tapered off, leaving behind a thick mist that clung to the crumbling buildings like a shroud. Every creak of a loose board and every rustle of fallen leaves made her heart skip a beat, her nerves on edge in the eerie silence.
She moved with deliberate care, her eyes darting from shadow to shadow, searching for any movement that might betray the presence of lurking threats. The village seemed frozen in time, its deserted streets bearing the scars of neglect and decay. Yet, beneath the desolation, there was a sense of unease an unspoken warning that whispered through the air like a ghostly echo.
Xue Liu's footsteps echoed softly against the cobblestones as she ventured deeper into the heart of the village, her every instinct urging her to remain vigilant. She knew that in this forsaken place, danger could lurk around every corner, waiting to pounce on the unwary. And so, with each cautious step she took, Xue Liu remained ever watchful, her senses attuned to the slightest hint of peril.
As Xue Liu walked deeper into the heart of the abandoned village, the fading light of dusk cast long shadows across the crumbling buildings. The once vibrant streets now lay deserted, swallowed by the encroaching darkness of the night. With each step she took, the eerie stillness of the village seemed to deepen, the sounds of her footsteps echoing against the silent facades of the abandoned homes.
A chill crept into the air, sending a shiver down Xue Liu's spine as she pressed on, her senses on high alert. The wind whispered through the empty alleyways, carrying with it a sense of foreboding that made her skin prickle with unease. Yet, despite the encroaching darkness and the oppressive silence of the village, Xue Liu forged ahead

"This house Looks good" Said by Xue Liu
As Xue Liu cautiously stepped into the rundown house, the creak of the door echoed through the desolate rooms. With each cautious footfall, she felt the weight of uncertainty pressing down upon her, the dim light filtering through cracked windows casting long shadows across the dilapidated interior.
Upon entering the kitchen, her heart sank at the sight of decay and neglect that greeted her. The once-familiar fixtures now lay in disarray, covered in a thick layer of dust and grime. With a mixture of desperation and resignation, she rummaged through the sparse provisions, her fingers brushing against the rotting remnants of what had once been sustenance.
As Xue Liu stood in the desolate kitchen, surrounded by decay and despair, the weight of her circumstances bore down on her like a heavy cloak. With trembling hands, she reached out to steady herself against the grimy countertop, her breaths coming in shallow gasps as she fought to contain the rising tide of emotions threatening to engulf her.
Images flashed through her mind the faces of loved ones left behind, the dreams of a better life that now seemed like distant fantasies. The realization of her isolation in this forsaken place crashed over her like a tidal wave, leaving her feeling small and insignificant in the vast expanse of emptiness.
Tears welled in Xue Liu's eyes, blurring her vision as she struggled to make sense of the world around her. In that moment of vulnerability, all the pent-up fear, frustration, and loneliness she had been holding back came pouring out, leaving her raw and exposed in its wake.
Suddenly, a surge of overwhelming emotion seized her, and Xue Liu let out a gut-wrenching scream, the sound echoing off the decrepit walls of the kitchen. Without thinking, she lashed out, her fists pounding against the countertop, the force of her blows sending debris flying in all directions. Plates shattered, pots clanged, and utensils clattered to the ground, the cacophony of destruction mirroring the chaos within her soul.
As the last echoes of her scream faded into the silence of the empty house, Xue Liu sank to the floor, her body wracked with sobs. Each breath came in ragged gasps, the weight of her despair pressing down upon her like a leaden weight. She felt as if she were unraveling, the threads of her composure fraying with each passing moment.
In the midst of her breakdown, Xue Liu felt utterly lost, adrift in a sea of tumultuous emotions. Memories of happier times flashed before her eyes, taunting her with their unreachable promise. She clutched at her chest, feeling as if her heart might burst from the sheer intensity of her grief.
The shattered remnants of the kitchen seemed to mock her, a cruel reflection of the chaos within her soul. With trembling hands, she reached out to touch the broken pieces scattered around her, the sharp edges cutting into her skin like a physical manifestation of her pain.
For what felt like an eternity, Xue Liu remained huddled on the floor, her tears mingling with the dust and debris of the abandoned house. And though the darkness of the night still loomed overhead, she found no solace in its embrace.
As Xue Liu lay on the floor, her breaths still ragged from her outburst, she noticed a glint of metal catching the dim light filtering through the cracked window. Her eyes traced the source of the reflection to a knife lying nearby, its blade stained with rust and neglect. It had fallen amidst the chaos of her breakdown, a stark reminder of the dangers lurking in the shadows of the abandoned house.
For a moment, Xue Liu hesitated, her gaze fixed on the ominous object before her. The knife seemed to shimmer with malevolence, its presence sending a shiver down her spine. Yet, despite the unease that gnawed at her, a sense of curiosity compelled her to reach out and pick up the weapon.
As Xue Liu held the knife in her trembling hand, she felt a rush of conflicting emotions washing over her. The cold metal pressed against her palm, a stark reminder of the danger it posed. But amidst the chaos of her thoughts, a desperate determination took hold a need to reclaim some semblance of control in the face of her overwhelming circumstances.
With trembling fingers, Xue Liu brought the blade closer, its sharp edge glinting in the faint light. She hesitated for a moment, the weight of her actions bearing down upon her like a heavy burden. But in that fleeting moment of uncertainty, a flicker of resolve sparked within her, driving her forward with a sense of grim purpose.
And then, with a steady hand and a heart heavy with resignation, Xue Liu slowly put the knife close to her neck. A whirlwind of thoughts raced through her mind. Doubt and fear clawed at the edges of her resolve, threatening to overwhelm her fragile composure. Yet, amidst the chaos, a voice whispered, urging her to hold on, to keep fighting, to cling to the sliver of hope that still burned within her.
"You can't give up," the voice whispered, a faint echo in the depths of her soul. "There's still so much left to do, so much left to live for." But as the weight of her despair pressed down upon her, Xue Liu found it increasingly difficult to heed the words of encouragement, to resist the pull of oblivion that beckoned to her like a siren's song.
Her grip tightened on the knife, the sharp edge biting into her skin with a painful reminder of the reality she faced. With each passing moment, the darkness seemed to close in around her, suffocating her with its oppressive embrace. But Xue Liu had already decided to end it all in this abandoned house, in this abandoned village located in this desolate place where she thought her abandoned body was perfect to rest.
