"Hmm,"

After an unknown amount of time, Xia Xiaoqin slowly woke up.

In a pitch-black, empty field of vision, I frantically discovered that my arms were empty; the rooster had vanished without a trace.

"A rooster! A rooster!!"

"Ohhh!"

The rooster walked proudly to Xia Xiaoqin's side, its wing brushing against her arm.

The familiar crowing of roosters made Xia Xiaoqin feel slightly relieved.

Xia Xiaoqin raised her hand and carefully touched Lu Yang's cheek.

Feeling that the other person was still breathing steadily and lying quietly beside her, she felt relieved.

But just then, a light laugh belonging to a young man came from not far away.

"Good morning, sister!"

The rooster's tiny, bean-sized eyes suddenly widened.

It turned its neck toward the sound, and the rooster's comb couldn't help but tremble.

—Outside the door, the boy appeared out of nowhere, leaning against the doorframe with a nonchalant air, watching them.

That extremely handsome young man's face, with his beautiful peach blossom eyes curving into a pair of crescent moons, was exceptionally alluring.

His school uniform, stained with blood, was zipped up wide, revealing a faded shirt underneath, outlining his slender yet immature figure, somewhere between a boy and a young man.

"Oh, and good morning to the rooster too!"

"Whoa!"

Upon hearing this, the rooster's feathers stood on end.

It remained conscious and watched over Xia Xiaoqin, keeping a close eye on the monster that lay back down next to her in the middle of the night.

But now, it is completely unaware of this person's presence!

Then the rooster spread its wings, let out a short crow, and lay across in front of the blind Xia Xiaoqin.

But Xia Xiaoqin scooped the rooster into her arms and threw the other one towards the underside of the bed.

Taking out her wood-chopping knife, Xia Xiaoqin slowly stood up, trying to make her voice sound as intimidating as possible.

"Who are you? What do you want with me?"

The boy did not move.

He remained leaning against the doorframe, his hands in his school uniform pockets, tilting his head to scrutinize her.

Finally, he chuckled softly, his voice clear and crisp.

"Sister, my name is Qin Bufei."

Qin Bufei?

Xia Xiaoqin frowned slightly.

I feel like I've vaguely heard this name somewhere before, but I can't quite place it right now.

"I don't know you. What do you want from me?"

Xia Xiaoqin stood up and pulled the rooster even closer to her chest.

As a blind person, she dared not trust strangers, especially strange men.

—Moreover, she has keen hearing, and a stranger who can approach her silently in the world of ghost stories is probably not there to make friends.

But Qin Bufei's eyes crinkled even more as he looked at her wary expression, almost like a crescent moon.

"Sister, I came to find you because I had a dream last night."

As he spoke, Qin Bufei moved his back off the door frame and took two steps forward.

"I dreamt that there was a girl who broke the rules of the sheepfold game and survived."

"And I will die because of this girl, and in the end, I will die in her arms."

The boy gazed at Xia Xiaoqin, his beautiful peach blossom eyes reflecting her image perfectly against the light.

"What? What are you talking about...?"

A chill instantly spread throughout Xia Xiaoqin's body.

She realized she had encountered a mentally ill person.

Almost instinctively, Xia Xiaoqin's body reacted faster than her mind; she trembled as she raised the wood-chopping knife and shouted loudly.

"Don't come any closer! I'm not the person you're talking about!!!"

But Qin Bufei still smiled and continued, his expression unreadable, "Sister~ stop pretending. Someone has already told me it was you."

Upon hearing this, Xia Xiaoqin's heart skipped a beat, and anger surged within her.

If it wasn't the chef who leaked the information, then it must be that despicable Liu Ruyan.

But she had no backup plan and could only bluff and whisper.

"I don't understand what you're talking about. What does your dream have to do with me? I advise you not to even think about attacking me. I have several men nearby. Don't ever set foot in this room again!"

But not far away, the boy laughed, as if he had heard a joke; his laughter was clear.

He took a few more steps forward, looking Xia Xiaoqin up and down.

"Sister, is the person you're talking about the one lying on the ground behind us?"

"But to me, he's not even human."

Xia Xiaoqin paused, her breath catching in her throat.

Memories from last night flooded back.

But Qin Bufei stopped in his tracks, then squatted down and gave a nonchalant reply.

"This guy is clearly a pervert!"

"Lying in a girl's bed while wearing a bride's dress is shameless. This kind of pervert isn't even human."

Hearing this, Xia Xiaoqin grinned.

She couldn't see anything, but if she thought about it carefully, Lu Yang's current appearance must be very strange.

So she took off her coat and draped it over Lu Yang.

"Qin Bufei, we are complete strangers. What do you want from me?"

"If you're planning to kill me for no reason just because you had a dream, I advise you not to. I will fight you to the death and won't let you leave unharmed."

Clutching the machete tightly, Xia Xiaoqin's breathing became rapid.

But Qin Bufei smiled, nimbly leaped onto the octagonal table, and sat down directly on it, his oversized school uniform fluttering in the wind.

"Sister, don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person~ I'm just very curious, how exactly did I die at the hands of a blind newcomer?"

"So, I want to observe you up close. But besides that, I do need someone. Currently, there's another expert in this instance besides me. He might target you for clues, and I can't let him get them."
