Lu Miao deliberately took a few quick steps forward, then held her breath and dodged to the side, hiding behind a pillar at the side of the passage.
She narrowed her eyes and looked in the direction of the footsteps. Her extraordinary five senses allowed her to vaguely see a blurry shadow in the darkness.
The black shadow seemed to have suddenly realized that her footsteps had disappeared. It stood rooted to the ground for a moment, then hesitated for two steps before stopping. It looked around for something.
Lu Miao stood on the pillar and looked at it with interest for a while. The corners of her lips curled up slightly, and then she took out a candy from her pocket.
That was the day she said that the smell in the ward was too bitter and she wanted to be discharged. Gu Shiyan had specially brought it for her and even stuffed it all over her pocket so that she could eat it at any time.
He threw the candy at the black shadow.
Candy hit the black shadow with a dull thud, then bounced back and fell to the ground.
The black shadow instantly panicked and quickly moved forward, wanting to run out.
When he passed by Lu Miao, she took a step forward, raised her hand, and accurately grabbed his arm. Then, she twisted her back forcefully and threw him over her shoulder.
The person on the ground cried out in pain.” Who are you? Why did you throw
The unfamiliar Mandarin sounded familiar.
Just as Lu Miao was about to speak, the chandelier on top of his head flashed twice and actually lit up again.
The person on the ground had blonde hair and blue eyes. He had a high nose bridge and was dressed in white and light blue sportswear. His face made him look like a high school student.
At this moment, that pair of beautiful blue eyes was glaring at her angrily.
No wonder she felt that the voice was familiar. Wasn’t this the unlucky Aluo who had tried to snatch the star falling grass from her and was scammed twice by her?
“Why are you sneaking behind me?”
“Who’s sneaky? I… Can’t I drive in the parking lot too?”Aluo got up from the ground with a red face.
He wouldn’t admit that he was afraid of the dark, especially after seeing Lu Miao catch a monster face to face and stuff it into a necklace; he became even more convinced of the strange stories and legends.
However, he was just a thrill-seeker with a cowardly side. He had watched a lot of supernatural stories and horror movies lately.
Just last night before going to bed, he had watched a horror movie set in a hospital. Who would have thought that he would end up in a hospital today?
The underground parking lot was dimly lit, and the flickering light made him recall the horror movie from last night, making him more and more frightened.
When he saw someone ahead, he quickly followed, not expecting it to be Lu Miao, who deliberately tripped him.
Lu Miao thought for a moment and guessed it.” You’re afraid of the dark?”
“You’re the one afraid of the dark! Your whole family is afraid of the dark! I’m a man; how could I be afraid?” Aluo was caught and tried to defend himself.
As if to prove that he wasn’t scared, he snorted and turned to walk towards the passage.
Unexpectedly, after taking two steps, the overhead lights above the passage flashed twice and went out again.
Aluo jumped up in fright and grabbed Lu Miao’s arm.
His voice trembled as he stammered,”This…” Are there ghosts here?”
Lu Miao replied seriously,” If I remember correctly, the hospital morgue should be right above us. Listen, there seems to be a child crying behind.”
“I don’t think so? You… Did you hear wrongly?”
In his great fear, ALuo temporarily forgot that he had been tricked by Lu Miao several times. He grabbed her arm tightly and looked around in horror.
Unfortunately, they were in the middle of the tunnel at the moment. They could not see the exit from either side. Everything they could see was dark.
The more he couldn’t see, the more terrifying his brain was.
“Listen again. The sound of crying is getting closer and closer to us.”Lu Miao said in a low voice.
ALuo already knew that Lu Miao could see these things. When he heard this, he was so scared that he screamed and dragged Lu Miao towards the entrance of the passage.
In his panic, he even accidentally knocked into the wall that turned around the corner. He stumbled and finally ran out.
He ran all the way to an overhead light before stopping, panting heavily. Lu Miao raised her eyebrows and looked at him.” Aren’t you afraid of the dark?”
Only then did Aluo realize that Lu Miao was deliberately scaring him. There was no child crying at all.
He was so angry that his handsome face turned red. He scolded angrily,” You did it on purpose. You tricked me last time and scared me this time.”
Doesn’t your conscience hurt?”
Lu Miao shrugged.” Why should my conscience hurt? You were the one who followed me first. ‘”‘
Aluo wanted to retort, but he didn’t know how to. He could only turn around and leave gloomily.
“Wait a minute.” Lu Miao shouted from behind.
Ah Luo turned his head and glared at her with his beautiful blue eyes.” What else do you want? I… I’m not afraid anymore. You can’t scare me.”
“Do you still want the Starfall herb?” Lu Miao asked.
ALuo’s eyes lit up when he heard the name ‘Starfall Herb’. However, he looked at her suspiciously when he thought of the few times he had been tricked by Lu Miao.
“Did you?”
Lu Miao smiled like a little fox and nodded affirmatively.” Of course, I have as many as you want.”
“But there hasn’t been a meteor shower recently. Where did you get the Starfall Herb?”Aluo opened his mouth in disbelief.
The Starfall Herb was really rare, and there was no way to artificially cultivate it. Even if Lu Miao was very strong and could always find the star falling grass first, she would still need a meteor shower and a meteorite to land.
However, he paid close attention to the astronomical forecast every day. There hasn’t been any meteor shower since the last meteor shower.
“The source is absolutely reliable. It’s authentic and guaranteed. You can check the goods first and then pay.”Lu Miao promised.
Although Aluo was skeptical, when he heard her say that he could inspect the goods before payment and even offered a tenfold compensation for fakes, he couldn’t help but be tempted.
“Alright, where can I find you then?” he asked.
“Where’s your phone?” Lu Miao inquired.
Aluo shrugged and took out his phone to show her, “It’s out of battery.”
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have had to grope his way into the passage and be thrown by Lu Miao.
Both of them didn’t have paper and pens on them, so Lu Miao directly told him her phone number.
“Remember it and call me when you get back. We’ll arrange a time and place to meet,” she said.
As they were talking…
“Aluo.” A voice came from ahead.
Aluo heard it and immediately turned around, running happily toward the voice. “Leo, why did you come here? Weren’t you supposed to wait for me at the entrance?”
“Worried that you might be scared of the dark and couldn’t find your car,” Gu Zhixing said.
Aluo quickly raised his hand to cover Gu Zhixing’s mouth, preventing him from saying more, lest Lu Miao hear and tease him about it later..
