284 The figure at the end of the corridor

Mei Xing stared at the dark entrance of the tomb and hissed when she felt her bracelet heat up to other degrees what did her grandma tell her about this bracelet? That in case the bracelet starts to get hot something evil was lurking around her. She looked around as she together with Tao Guotin and Kong Kun climbed down the stairs made of yellow mud and stones, the stairs seemed to be going on and on as if they were headed straight to hell. When they were standing at the top of the stairs, at least the sound of birds and the growls and snarls of the animal could be heard but now that they were climbing down the stairs, those sounds were gone as well.

As if they have been cut off from the other side while entering into another space, the more she thought about it the eerier it looked.

Li Yiqian was the first one to push open the door that has been shut close after the little incident after a group of bats flew past their heads. The door made an unpleasant creaking sound as it was pushed open and when Li Yiqian turned the flashlight of his smartphone towards the corridor of the tomb, the only thing that greeted them was darkness and more darkness.

Seeing this Mei Xing's heart trembled as the bracelet on her wrist tightened around her skin with a sharp hiss.  She was in no mood to finish this stupid challenge that they took for the sake of boasting in front of their friends, what was the point of doing something so stupid, all for the sake of proving someone wrong? As soon as Li Yiqian raised his foot to enter the tomb, she hurriedly said, " W..Wait, I think we should just drop the idea… I mean just take a look at the corridor, it looks really spooky. I think it's not too late for us to rethink our decision and go bac…" she didn't get to say 'back'. As soon as she opened her mouth she noticed a figure standing at the back of the corridor, with green fumes emitting from his mouth, a sword with a sharp glint on its waist. The figure's face was hidden under the green fumes making the entire scene even scarier, even with the green fumes blocking his face, Mei Xing could see that the figure's eyes were trained on them. It scared her so much that she almost hopped back as she stared at the mouth of the corridor and shook her head.  " We need to get out of here, this place… this place is haunted… I am telling you all, we need to get out of here."

If not for Tao Guotin and Kong Kun who stopped her from hopping away, Mei Xing would have really skipped up the stairs. She didn't want to go, whoever wanted to go was welcome to do so but she wasn't going to go inside. " I am warning you all, you need to really listen to me," she turned to look at Tao Guotin and Kong Kun with a wild look in her eyes. " I just saw it, I swear I saw it, he is standing at the end of the corridor, waiting for us to come inside…there is really a ghost with a sword. I don't...I don't think we need to go in and face him, so let's go and just leave all right? I think this place is really haunted."

Mei Xing was so regretful that her intestines turned green, why didn't she listen to her grandmother when she told her that her physique was different from others? If only she listened to her grandmother and stayed at home waiting for her grandmother to look for a great celestial master so that she could learn how to defend herself then she wouldn't have encountered this situation ever.

She didn't care about anything, so what if she was called a coward? As long as she was alive, she will listen to whatever others had to say happily. She tugged at Tao Guotin and Kong Kun's arms as she shook her head refusing to take another step inside.

Everyone turned to look at the end of the corridor, what figure? They couldn't see any figure.

Though the boys were annoyed they knew that Mei Xing was a bit different from them, her grandmother was said to be a firm believer in supernatural things. Most probably because of the scary and spooky surroundings she got scared.

Tao Guotin immediately stopped her and softly coaxed her, "It is all right, there is nothing. I think you are just scared because of the darkness, it's all right."

Shi Caihong on the other hand saw how Tao Guotin was softly consoling Mei Xing and her eyes started to spew fire. She took Mei Xing's fearful appearance as nothing more but an attempt to attract Tao Guotin's sympathy, she pursed her lips and immediately snorted, " You sure know how to act, why are you wasting your time studying when you can become an excellent actress?"

Her words were rude but no one refuted her if they had all seen the figure standing at the end of the corridor they would have agreed with what Mei Xing said but they obviously saw nothing. So, why will they even believe what Mei Xing said?

They all rolled their eyes, especially Shao Li Jun who wanted to curry favour with Shi Caihong. He immediately chimed up for the sake of gaining some special brownie points from Shi Caihong and said, " She is right, Xing Xing. I mean I have to admit that you are reacting a tad bit too much. The corridor is completely empty, there is nothing…open your eyes and take a look carefully, I think your mind is playing tricks on you——"

No sooner did he say that a loud thunderclap echoed over the mountain scaring everyone but Mei Xing who could see the figure, didn't hear the sound of the thunderclap, instead all she heard was the roar of the figure that stood at the end of the corridor.
