Realm of the Night God

As time passed bit by bit, midnight quickly arrived.

Fifth sister tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep for a long time.

Every time she closed her eyes, a sensation of dampness in the bedding and the cold gaze by the bedside would haunt her.

In addition to having something on her mind, she couldn't sleep soundly like other colleagues. The leaky roof happened to coincide with the night rain, making her dilemma even more challenging.

She needed to use the restroom, but fear held her back. However, if she didn't go, she would soon be unable to hold it any longer.

If it were just a small matter, she could use a few sanitary pads, but the problem was that she needed to use the restroom urgently, complicating things.

After holding it for a few minutes, Fifth sister couldn't bear it any longer. Forced by circumstances, she lifted the blanket and got out of bed, preparing to go to the restroom.

Her body passed through the soul body of the little girl by the bedside. The girl showed no reaction, but Fifth sister couldn't help shivering.

"So cold!"

Fifth sister wrapped herself in a thick coat and deliberately made some noise, hoping to wake up her colleagues. In her opinion, if a colleague woke up in the dorm, it would add a sense of security.

Moreover, a colleague who was awakened might also need to use the restroom. If that happened, it would be even better – having someone accompany her to the restroom would dispel her fears.

However, the results were somewhat disappointing. The noise she made did wake up some colleagues, but none of them had the intention of getting up to use the restroom. Some grumbled, others looked at Fifth sister with confusion, then all fell back asleep in a daze.

Fifth sister originally wanted to find a colleague with whom she had a good relationship to accompany her, but she couldn't wait any longer. Besides, the colleague might not even go, and if they did, they might mock her for a lifetime.

After hesitating for a moment, Fifth sister gritted her teeth and rushed out of the dormitory towards the restroom.

Just as her body rushed out of the restroom, Fifth sister suddenly felt a chill on her back. However, in her current situation, she didn't have time to worry about that and hurriedly entered the restroom.

In less than a minute, Fifth sister rushed out of the restroom. Because she was afraid, she didn't dare to linger and quickly resolved the situation.

Normally, she wouldn't be able to leave within a few minutes, but in special circumstances, she didn't dare to delay. She just wanted to return to the dormitory as soon as possible.

However, just as she rushed out of the restroom, a figure suddenly appeared in front of her!

"Ah!!!"

Fifth sister was frightened, let out a scream, and fell to the ground, looking terrified.

In the silent late night, such a piercing scream should have alarmed her colleagues, but the reality was different. The scream cut through the night sky, yet no lights came on in the dormitory.

After the initial shock, Fifth sister reacted and realized that the person who appeared in front of her was not a ghost, but someone she had seen today in the Death God Temple.

The person was none other than Yang Haoran.

Yang Haoran looked the same as before, with a smile on his face. However, at this moment, his smile was a bit less amiable and a bit more cold.

"How did you end up here?!"

Fifth sister's fear hadn't completely subsided, and she stared at Yang Haoran in shock, stuttering as she spoke.

"Sorry for suddenly appearing here and scaring you," Yang Haoran said with a smile.

"You crazy psycho! Trying to scare people in the middle of the night! Damn it!" Fifth sister cursed while getting up from the ground, then glared angrily at Yang Haoran.

"Why are you here? Are you here to steal something? You've got some nerve! I noticed during the day that you're not a good person, so I didn't want to get involved with you. I didn't expect you to find your way here!"

After saying this, Fifth sister shouted towards the dormitory.

"Help! Come quickly! Someone is stealing things!"

The entire construction site was silent, except for Fifth sister's shouting, and there was no other sound.

"No need to shout. I've set up a restriction barrier here. Even if you scream your lungs out, your colleagues won't hear it," Yang Haoran said with a smile.

"Restriction barrier?" Fifth sister was stunned and then shouted at Yang Haoran, "What nonsense are you talking about? What kind of damn restriction barrier!"

Naturally, Fifth sister wouldn't believe Yang Haoran's words. She continued to shout towards the dormitory, but the lights in the dormitory still didn't turn on.

Their dormitory was not far from the restroom. Normally, standing at the restroom door and speaking normally would be audible at the dormitory entrance. However, something was amiss tonight. In the dead of night, with such eerie silence, even shouting couldn't awaken her colleagues, making it hard for her to believe that all of this was real.

She didn't know why Yang Haoran was here or how he knew about this place, but she felt that he harbored ill intentions toward her – a certainty she couldn't shake.

After a few more shouts without any response from her colleagues, Fifth sister felt both shocked and frightened.

Without further ado, she ran!

Since her colleagues couldn't be awakened, she decided to rush into the dormitory and pull them out of bed one by one!

However, after taking just a few steps, her body felt like it collided with an invisible wall, and she fell to the ground again.

"What... what is going on?!"

Fifth sister couldn't believe that all of this was happening. She got up from the ground and, unwilling to give up, rushed towards the dormitory.

The result was the same; she was once again thrown back by the invisible barrier, crashing to the ground.

Being an ordinary person, and a woman at that, after being thrown around like this, Fifth sister felt she could barely endure it. Yet, she struggled to get up from the ground.

She looked at Yang Haoran, fear and shock written all over her face. "What is happening? What is going on?!"

"What's going on? Didn't I just explain it?" Yang Haoran laughed.

"Sorcery! This must be sorcery!" Fifth sister, as if realizing something, looked even more terrified than before. She continued to shout at Yang Haoran, "I'm just an ordinary person! Why are you harming me? Let me go! Let me go!"

"I saw your Yin Qi entangled at the Death God Temple today. I wanted to create some good karma, help you through this calamity. Little did I know, I almost helped the wrong person. It's really surprising. Being a good person is not easy because you never know if you're helping a good person or a bad person," Yang Haoran sighed with a cold smile.

"I don't know what you're talking about. Let me go! Let me go!" Fifth sister shouted in a crazed manner.

"Don't know what I'm talking about?" Yang Haoran smiled and then pointed beside Fifth sister, saying, "Then, do you know her?"

Fifth sister followed Yang Haoran's pointing direction and saw a little girl who had appeared beside her, seemingly out of nowhere.

The girl was dripping wet, and water droplets slid off her body, turning into Yin Qi as they touched the ground. Her face was pale, swollen, and carried a cold and resentful gaze, fixed firmly on Fifth sister.

A horrified scream escaped from Fifth sister's mouth as she sat on the ground.

Although the girl's face was already swollen, Fifth sister recognized her instantly.

She was Old Zhang's daughter, a neighbor from her village, a child she had watched grow up. She was also the person that Fifth sister had been dreaming about every night for the past few days.

Pale and terrified, Fifth sister couldn't utter a word, only scream and try to escape for her life.

However, a barrier had already been set up by Yang Haoran, and no matter which direction she ran, she couldn't escape its reach.

Yang Haoran didn't stop Fifth sister's actions. Instead, he lit a cigarette and watched as Fifth sister desperately fled.

The little girl didn't take any action against Fifth sister either. It wasn't that she didn't want to, but she didn't have the ability.

She was just an ordinary undead with limited abilities. The retaliation she could launch against Fifth sister was limited to scaring her in dreams. Apart from that, she had no other means.

After all, she was just a child, lacking experience in frightening people. Even if she clung to Fifth sister all night, she hadn't managed to scare her to death after several days.

If another undead who could truly terrify people had come, Fifth sister would probably already be six feet under by now.

Although she hadn't scared Fifth sister to death, the little girl clinging to her every night had enveloped Fifth sister in a thick layer of Yin Qi, causing her body to deteriorate day by day.

Continuing like this, if nothing unexpected happened, it wouldn't be long before Fifth sister was completely drained of life by the little girl in this way!

But now, the appearance of Yang Haoran was an unexpected turn of events.
