The middle-aged man stared in fusion at the old dog tremblih the bed. His first rea wasn’t to scold it but to gaze immediately out the gss window toward where the owner resided.
Slowly, a mix of fusion and odd emotions began to appear in his eyes.
A few seds ter, as if realizing something, his pupils tracted sharply, and his trembling gaze was filled with terror.
Inside a loft resembling a fortress, in a dimly lit er, a burly figure curled up, doing his best to shrink into a small ball.
He huddled his kightly, clutg himself, as if the same things were happening to him as when that person was still around.
Tears slid down silently, his swollen eyes fixed on the wall before him.
He was waiting—waiting for the only erson in the world to e back.
"Sister..." he croaked, sobbing softly.
If the middle-aged man from the guardroom had seen him, he would have noticed that the pitiful state of the burly man resembled the old dog uhe bed, except for the ck of fear.
"Buzz."
Just before the iron gate disappeared, gray mist swirled, and the door opened again.
A small, thin figure appeared at the iron gate.
In an instant, the man curled up in the er brightened, and he jumped to his feet, stumbling toward the figure.
When he finally embraced the small figure, feeling the warmth of the petite body in his arms, he finally rexed.
"Sister..."
The figure seemed extremely tired, but still raised her hand and affeately rubbed the burly man’s face, ears, and hair, smiling as she said, "Don’t cry. Sister... is back."
The rge, bear-like man cried even harder.
The woman’s expression grew a bit helpless. Every time they left a nightmare aed iy, it was always like this.
"If you don’t let go," Su Xiaoxiao said with a bitter smile, "Sister’s going to run out of breath."
Upon hearing this, Su An immediately let go, croug seriously in front of his sister, staring at her with eyes full of care.
The trast between his muscur body and his small, timid eyes created a striking difference.
Not only was he not fierce, but the man was also somewhat cute.
She smiled and stretched out her hand, first pressing Su An’s hen ruffling his hair with both hands.
Shaking his head, Su An grinned, showing a silly smile.
Su Xiaoxiao’s affe for her brother was uionable. After their parents passed away, the two siblings relied on each other in the vast mansion.
In life and in nightmares, it was always like this.
"Sister," on the night the motorbike girl went missing, Su An quietly leaned against Su Xiaoxiao’s chest, whispering somethiive.
He expressed himself for a long time before Su Xiaoxiao finally uood. What he meant was that the old woman was represented by white with a bit of gray, while her shadoure white, even transparent.
The old woman and her shadow were separate things, two differeies.
Not long after they arrived here, Su An noticed the anomaly in the old woman, but saying it so bluntly still made Su Xiaoxiao hard to accept.
How could the shadow be...?
Moreover, most importantly, Su An said that he didn’t feel any malice from the transparent shadow.
This was the reason why Su Xiaoxiao decided to leave her brother alone.
But what truly shocked and even made Su Xiaoxiao despair was the hing Su An said.
He weakly stared at her, then quietly expressed something.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at him with a strange gaze, until Su An nodded as if firming something.
Immediately, Su Xiaoxiao felt a chill down her spine.
Her body was engulfed by an unpreted fear as she looked down, her lorembling with no pattern. She tried to suppress it, hoping tain trol of her body before aiced her abnormality.
But clearly, she failed. At that moment, she was targeted by the dark, squinting eyes of Ran.
Acc to her brother’s description, they were sitting on some giant object.
The scariest part was that it was alive, with sciousness and life!
Because, in Su An’s subscious, it represehe color bck.
The same bck as that man, Hao Shuai.
When she barely suppressed her emotions and asked her brother how big this objeo, this living thing—was, her brother rarely fell silent, then seemed to fall into deep thought.
Finally, he slowly raised his head and drew a strange symbol with his hand.
Moments ter, as Su Xiaoxiao blinked, a cold wave swept up from her feet and shot up to her head.
Because Su An, uo i with the world normally, structed most of his uanding of the world through TV dotaries.
Acc to Su An, he was trying to say an iceberg.
A huge iceberg floating on the surface of the water.
Expanding on that, what he truly meant was that the entire isnd above the water was just the tip of that thing.
Terrifying.
Thinking of that mysterious massive entity, tless fragmented images flooded Su Xiaoxiao’s mind.
Some of them coherent ses, while others were meaningless wails and roars.
But without exception, they all gave Su Xiaoxiao an eerie feeling of desotion.
Breathing heavily, she felt a suffocated, as if drowning in the dreary depths of sea.
The surrounding water dark and deep.
Wandering, helpless, and silent... She could evehe heavy, mountain-like gaze behind her.
That thing was watg her.
Endless darkness enveloped her, invading her, destroyihen re-f her. It was as if she had lost something, and something new was starting to open its eyes within her body.
She staggered back, and her brother, Su An, instinctively reached out to grab her but was roughly shaken off as she leaned against the wall where the gate had just disappeared.
Soured down her face.
"Sister," Su An stared at her anxiously, as if he had no idea what had just happened.
"I... I’m tired," Su Xiaoxiao said quickly, stumbling toward her bedroom.
Before Su An could react, Su Xiaoxiao had already shoved open the bedroom door and smmed it shut with a loud "bang."
In the rge loft, only Su An remained.
No!
He wasn’t alone!
Su An’s dim eyes suddenly lit up.
He stared intensely at the spot where his sister had been standing, then slowly shifted his gaze. On the wall beside him, a small, thin shadow that resembled his sister lingered.
The sed, the shadow vanished.
