Billionaire's Reborn Baby
Chapter 158 So terrifying

Everyone couldn't help but get goosebumps, but they still couldn't suppress their curiosity. Someone asked, "So what is it?"

"I was also curious about it, so I removed the grass and looked at it. Then...."

Someone couldn't wait to ask, "Then what?"

"I fainted." The landlady only said this.

"You fainted?"

"When I woke up, I was lying opposite the lake. The lake was so big. No one could walk across it, unless you rowed a boat." The landlady drew a simple picture on the table with her hand. Everyone was quite curious.

"What? Why?"

"I didn't know. It wasn't until dark that my families came to replace me and found a boat to bring me back. They thought I was swimming to the opposite of the lake to get rid of the work. But my clothes were clean and there wasn't a drop of water on me." The landlady laughed helplessly.

Janessa asked, "Then what do you think you've encountered?"

The landlady shook her head, "I didn't know. I wasn't sure about it."

The curiosity of others was completely aroused. After the landlady left, they still discussed the story. "What do you think the landlady encountered?"

"Could it be a weasel?"

"I think it might be a snake."

"Isn't it a 'ghost story'? Could it be a ghost?"

Randy looked at Janessa and asked, "Do you believe in ghosts?"

Janessa glanced at him through the candlelight and said, "Well, I'd rather believe it than not."

"I thought you were an atheist." Randy took the fan and knocked on his palm with its handle. The candlelight illuminated everyone in the hall. Their shadows were reflected on the wall and swayed along wind like many ghosts.

"I've seen it before."

Janessa's voice suddenly sounded. Many people's eyes popped in surprise and the got goosebumps again.

"Holy shit! Is that true?" Randy almost dropped his fan.

"Guess what?" Janessa blinked at him.

Jaquan was a complete atheist. Hearing this, he stood up and left. He needed to meet his client tomorrow afternoon. His assistant sent him the information to his email, but he hadn't had time to read it. Janessa knocked on the table and asked, "Are there any more ghost stories?"

She liked this kind of stories very much, but Armando was not a good storyteller. So he could only wait for others.

"A female student went back to the dormitory in the middle of the night. In order not to wake up her roommates, she did not turn on the light. After washing up in the dark, she went straight to bed. However, when she woke up, she found that there were a lot of people in the dormitory." A team member of Randy began to tell stories. He was obviously one of the more active members of the team. He knew that atmosphere was the most important when telling stories, so he tried to keep his voice low and pretended to be solemn.

"A lot of people?" The other members couldn't help but ask him.

"Who are they?"

The storyteller's gaze swept across everyone present. "Her roommates who lived with her were killed and dismembered. And there was a line written on the wall of the room...."

"What is it?" Someone asked.

""Are you glad you didn't turn on the light?" The team member said in a frightening tone.

"Well," said one of the team members. "It's not scary at all."

"Then you tell it!"

"I can't."

"Then why do you say that?"

Lord Top, who had been sitting there and listening, suddenly said. His voice was slightly hoarse, for that he just recovered from his illness. "One night, a woman was followed by an unfamiliar man. She kept running and ran to a nearby public toilet. Then she immediately ran into the innermost one, not long after, she felt that the man also followed in. He began to kick the toilet door from the first one. One by one, he kicked them forcefully. As the sound of kicking the door got closer and closer, the woman became more and more afraid. She almost cried out. She covered her mouth hard and did not make any noise. Finally, there was only the compartment that she was hiding in left. However, the man did not move. After a long time, it was almost dawn. The woman did not hear anything. She felt that the man should have left, so she heaved a sigh of relief and decided to come out...."

Lord Top paused for a moment and picked up the cup on the table to drink water. His voice was flat and there were no ups and downs in his tone, but he did arouse everyone's curiosity.

The team member asked, "Then what?"

"Then she felt like there was something above her head. She looked up and saw the face of that strange man. He had been looking at her from the beginning to the end. He had been staring at her until dawn." Lord Top put down his cup and glanced at the person opposite the table.

The candlelight swayed. For no reason, everyone felt a cold wind on their necks, which made them tremble involuntarily.

"God! So terrifying!"

"It's really scaring if we think about it...."

"Yeah, I feel like I have to check if there's anyone above my head when I go to the public toilet next time."

п

Another team member asked, "Lord Top, where did you hear the story? Why is it so terrifying?"

Lord Top took out his phone and handed it over. "There are a lot of such stories on the Internet."

It was very late. Everyone was exhausted after climbing the mountain for a whole day, so after chatting for a while, they stood up and prepared to wash up.

There were public bathrooms in the guest house. Probably because they were a little frightened after hearing the ghost story, all of them went to take a bath together. Only Lord Top went straight back to his room. He was sick, so he didn't need to take a bath.

Janessa was still sitting there. She occasionally poked at the guttering of a candle with her index finger on the table

Armando asked, "Have you seen it?"

"What?" Janessa looked up and was stunned for a moment before smiling, "Well, you mean that."

She tilted her head and happened to see Emily, who was drawing on the other side. Her eyes popped, as if she could not believe it. Her black eyes were so bright. It was only at this moment that Janessa realized that Emily was a curious and innocent girl at her age. Her face was soft and she looked adorable.

Janessa stared at Emily for a moment before replying, "Yes, I have."

Armando did not continue to ask. He sat there quietly, as if that he was waiting for Janessa to start talk.

However, Janessa didn't want to talk about it today. Noticing Armando's silence, she stood up and said, "Alright, I'm pretty tired today. Let's wash up and sleep."

It was time to say goodnight and go to sleep.

However, Armando still followed behind her. Janessa felt a little helpless and asked, "Why are you following me?"

Armando looked at her and said word by word, "Don't be afraid."

The respect and envy in Armando's eyes had long disappeared. Instead, there was something in his eyes that even Janessa could not understand. Armando also grew much taller than her. So when she looked back at him, she had to raise her head. She was gratified and thought to herself, 'You've finally grown up.'
