The door was gently pushed open.
The faint light dimly illuminated the pitch-black study.
She stood at the doorway.
The glow from her cellphone passed through the entrance and fell inside.
It swept across the reddish-brown wooden floor in front of her, slowly making its way to the vicinity of the desk—
She held her breath and looked closely—
Her hands trembled, nearly causing her to throw the phone away.

A pitch-black ghostly figure was extending what looked like a hand, trying to push their family's desk away from the wall.
Seeming to fear making noise, it pushed little by little, until the moment the light hit it, and it froze, slowly turning its head.
Amidst the shadow were a pair of blood-red eyes, as if the eyeballs had been soaked in blood and were faintly glowing.
"Shoo—shoo—shoo—"
It emitted unintelligible sounds while making eye contact with Xiang Ruyu.
—So terrifying, so terrifying...
