C1

Ah!

I tripped over a rock, and when I looked up again, my classmates were gone, and I was alone.

The surroundings were completely covered in darkness without a trace of light. This kind of feeling, where one couldn't even see his fingers in front of him, made one feel endless fear.

Creaak.

A strange sound of a door opening could be heard. It sounded like the grinding of teeth by a nocturnal animal. My body couldn't help but tremble. Just where is this place?

He wanted to run, but his legs were rooted to the ground and he was unable to move.

The weird sounds continued to come from time to time. My entire body was drenched in cold sweat.

A chilly wind blew past, and the coldness was bone-chilling. My back felt cold, and my body shuddered once more.

In the darkness, I reached out and gingerly touched a cool wall.

"It's finally your turn …"

Who?

I subconsciously withdrew my hand and took two steps back. My breathing became hurried, and it sounded as if it was far away, but also as if it was right next to my ear. I could even feel the air rush past my face.

My whole body was covered with goosebumps. This feeling was too frightening.

In the darkness, a pair of ghastly eyes stared straight at me. I wanted to shout out, but I didn't have the courage to.

"Who are you?" I suppressed the fear and horror in my heart and shuddered as I squeezed out a few words from my throat.

"Guess …"

The man's voice was cold, but it carried a hint of a smile, as if he was mocking me.

I swallowed, my heart pounding. I couldn't see him, but I could feel the cold radiating from him. He was standing in front of me, motionless.

"What are you doing?" After an unknown period of time, I tremblingly spoke.

"It's finally your turn …"

A cold voice came from the front of my body. It was so cold that it made my nerves tense up. Cold sweat dripped down my forehead drop by drop.

The fear that was suppressed in my heart had almost completely destroyed me.

"You're a ghost!" I finally shouted. The fear in his heart was broken, but what followed was an even deeper fear.

"You're very smart, just like before …" He lifted his hand and touched my face.

Ah!" I screamed and turned to run, but I was held by his hand, and for a moment I could almost smell death.

I was so scared that I slapped his hand. "Let go of me …" Let me go... "Ahh!" However, the hand was getting tighter and tighter, causing people to feel a suffocating coldness.

Just as I was about to despair, I heard a clear shout in my ear.

"Ling, Ling..." They were the two classmates that accompanied me out to climb the mountain. Their voices sounded very anxious.

I suddenly opened my eyes and saw a few classmates gathered around me, shaking me vigorously.

The scorching sun was overhead and the blinding light made me subconsciously close my eyes. Suddenly, I felt a sharp pain in my eyes.

"Ling, are you alright?" Lin Jia held my hand and asked worriedly.

"I... "I'm fine!" I shook my head, and panted heavily. My gaze swept across a few people, including Lin Jia, Liu Meng, Lan Lan and Xiao Ying.
