Chapter 143: Chapter 20 October 30th

As noon approached, Yun Yi began to feel that helping his mother with the Halloween decorations was becoming somewhat boring.

With Aunty Lan absent, the task of cooking fell entirely to his aunt, Jin Yunran. The aroma wafting from the kitchen was making it increasingly difficult for him to sit still.

Yun Yi ran into the spacious kitchen and, seeing Jin Yunran boiling soup, immediately approached her.

"Auntie, it smells so good, what kind of soup is this?"

"Seafood soup, these are fresh ingredients delivered this morning."

Yun Yi leaned in to take a sniff and couldn’t help but salivate.

"Auntie, can I taste it first?"

"Don’t rush, it needs to simmer a bit longer to develop the flavor."

"Okay, auntie, then I’ll wait to sample your cooking later."

Thinking about the delicious food he would have later, Yun Yi suddenly felt in high spirits and went out to continue helping his mother with the decorations.

But when he got to the living room, he realized that his mother was gone.

"Mom?"

Yun Yi found it strange—his mother had just been outside, how could she disappear in such a short time?

He walked over to the hanging pumpkin lamp, took it down, and put it on his head.

For fun, he walked around indoors wearing the pumpkin lamp on his head.

It didn’t take long for him to approach the kitchen.

Through the two holes in the headpiece, he suddenly noticed footsteps coming from the kitchen.

Did Auntie finish cooking?

So he immediately looked that way.

However, when he looked into the kitchen, he was stunned again.

The pot was bubbling on the stove, starting to emit steam.

Yun Yi immediately went over. As he got closer, he could hear the fragrance wafting from the pot. When he reached the pot, he could hear the sound of the water boiling.

"Auntie! Auntie! Auntie?"

The pot looked like it was about to boil over; why would auntie leave at this time?

And he had just heard footsteps here, hadn’t he?

How was it that when he turned around, there was no one there?

So he immediately got on his tiptoes, turned off the gas. He didn’t understand much, but from what he’d seen on TV, if the water spilled over and extinguished the gas flame, it would be serious trouble.

After turning off the gas, Yun Yi left the kitchen to search for his mother and aunt.

But after running through several rooms, he couldn’t find either of them.

This situation was really getting strange.

He thought about it and ran upstairs, into his mother’s bedroom.

But still, his mother was not there.

The villa was too big, and he had no idea where his mother could be.

Suddenly, Yun Yi had an idea. Wearing the pumpkin lantern headpiece, he could just crawl under the bed and give his mother a scare when she appeared—after all, Halloween was tomorrow, and it would be like a rehearsal.

As children often indulge in playfulness, he didn’t hesitate and wriggled under the bed.

After lying under the bed for a few minutes, he began to feel bored again and thought about leaving.

Some time passed, and he suddenly heard footsteps outside the door.

Then, the door was pushed open.

Yun Yi immediately held his breath. So his mother had returned?

But then, he saw a pair of feet wearing men’s slippers!

What’s more, the size of the feet was clearly not his mother’s!

This???

Yun Yi quickly recognized them; they were definitely the slippers his father had worn before he passed away! But they should have been cleared out when sorting his belongings, right?

How was this possible?

If Yun Yi wanted to know the answer, he could run out immediately and see the truth.

But he became frightened.

How could there be another man in the house, wearing his father’s slippers?

A burglar? A robber?

He suddenly felt scared.

But soon, those feet quickly left the room and closed the door.

Yun Yi was incredibly tense. Because he was scared, he did not dare to go out, so he just lay on the ground.

And so... as time passed, he actually fell asleep.

After an unknown period, he awoke to his mother, Jin Yun Lan, calling out to him.

"Yun Yi! Yun Yi, wake up!"

Yun Yi opened his eyes to find his mother and aunt had already pulled him from under the bed onto the bed, with his mother looking at him with an urgent expression.

"Why are you so disobedient! What were you doing under the bed with your head covered? Do you know how long I’ve been looking for you! Your dad has already had an accident, if something happens to you too, how am I supposed to live!"

"I’m sorry, Mom... It’s just I couldn’t find you or Auntie, so I..."

"Gone? I had no idea where you had run off; your aunt said you hadn’t come back since you went out from the kitchen, we’ve been looking for you! We thought you ran outside; we searched the area for a long time!"

"I’m really sorry, Mom, but it was really you and Auntie... Ah, right! There’s a thief in our house!"

"You’re still lying! To find you, we checked the community’s surveillance footage and confirmed you didn’t go out! So where is this thief coming from?"

"No, there really was a thief, I saw..."

"You dare continue to lie!"

At this moment, Aunt Jin Yunran’s face changed color, she squatted down, grabbed Yun Yi’s shoulders, and asked him with great anxiety: "Yun Yi, what did you just say? A thief? What do you mean?"

"There was someone who came in wearing dad’s slippers..."

Just then, suddenly, a piercing scream erupted from the upper floor!

Hearing this scream, both Jin Yunran and Yun Lan’s faces turned pale.

The two women immediately walked out of the room, and then Yun Lan said: "Yun Yi, lock the door and don’t come out until we return! There are some biscuits in the room, you haven’t had your lunch, eat some to fill your stomach first!"

Then, the two sisters hurriedly moved towards the third floor!

"Was that scream just now, Alana’s voice?" Yun Lan’s face got even uglier: "Yun Yi said he saw someone wearing... That’s impossible, isn’t it? We checked the surveillance; nobody came in, did they?"

Yuyi Gao slept for more than five hours.

Now, it was already getting dark outside.

Jin Yunran looked out at the darkening sky, bit her lip, and took out the diary from her person.

"Sister, I can’t keep it from you any longer. Actually..."

Just at that moment, the scream came again!

This time, they both heard it very clearly!

The source of the mournful scream!

"That is..." Yun Lan looked towards a corridor: "It sounds like it’s coming from above... the attic..."

"What? The attic?"

"Let’s go check it out!"

The two sisters quickly moved towards it.

At this time, Yun Lan’s complexion grew more and more unsightly.

But Jin Yunran immediately opened the diary to the last page, only to discover...

Today’s diary entry had already been updated!

"October 30th, overcast

Tomorrow night is Halloween.

It’s the seventh anniversary of when Yun Lan and I met, and we both agreed to celebrate this day properly.

But it’s so strange.

Since this morning, I feel like the light inside the house is so dim.

Moreover, that feeling that there’s something watching me from behind has become even stronger.

What’s weirdest is... at noon..."

"Yun Ran!"

When Jin Yunran looked up, she found her sister had fetched a stool, pulling down the attic stairs!

"Hurry, let’s go up and see!"

"Okay... okay..."

But for some reason, Jin Yunran felt a strong sense of unease about this.

She took the diary and climbed the stairs to the attic with her sister.

The dark attic, with just one long-neglected skylight, was dim and filled with clutter everywhere.

Alana was nowhere to be seen.

However, there was so much stuff in the attic, Alana could be hiding behind any of it.

"Alana!" Jin Yunran faintly felt she had been up here before.

What in the world was happening?

Suddenly, she realized that the diary she was holding was gone.

Turning around, she found that her sister Yun Lan had taken it.

"Sister?"

Yun Lan, holding the diary, was looking at Jin Yunran with a cold expression.

"Sis... Sister?"

Then, she saw her sister’s face twist into a sinister smile; her expression turned ominous.

Following this, her sister’s right hand emitted a strange sound as the bones in her fingers lengthened abnormally, and then those fingers reached menacingly for Jin Yunran’s throat!
