The laughter was very close, right in his ear. The man widened his eyes in terror, dared not turn his head, and slowly moved his eyeballs toward the direction of his ear.
The way the man widened his eyes and moved his eyeballs was extremely horrific, just looking at him would reveal the fear in his heart.
The man’s eyeballs moved to the limit, looking even more eerie. There was nothing near his ear, and he slowly turned his head, his neck creaking like an old wooden puppet.
Those watching from outside could feel that unspeakable fear just by observing the man’s performance. Their hearts rose, afraid of seeing something terrifying.
Some timid people already covered their eyes, not daring to watch any further. Yet, not watching, only listening to the terrifying background sound in their ears, the fear caused by the unknown was even stronger.
Fortunately, the man turned around, and there was no one around him. He let out a big sigh of relief, his entire being seemingly drained of energy, and his stiff straightened back suddenly collapsed.
The room was very dirty and chaotic, with a large inexplicable bloodstain. The man helplessly went out to get water to clean the room.
But there was no well in this desolate house, to get water one had to carry buckets to the riverside. The man had no choice because he couldn’t carry buckets with a shoulder pole, so he grabbed a bucket and headed to the river.
The river was quite far from the desolate house, with no households nearby the house, but if walking further, near the river, there would be people.
When fetching water by the river, the man encountered a family of three doing laundry, a middle-aged couple and a young girl.
The middle-aged couple was taken aback seeing the man, and as he fetched water, they kept whispering about something, showing inexplicable sympathy in their gazes toward him.
The man, feeling strange from being watched, hesitated and looked at the couple, asking, "Do you have something you want to say to me?"
The middle-aged couple awkwardly smiled, repeatedly saying it was nothing, nothing, and then turned to leave with their young daughter.
The man watched the couple curiously, and just as they were about to leave, the little girl suddenly turned back to the man saying, "My parents said the house you’re staying in is haunted, everyone who stays there dies."
"You naughty child, what nonsense are you talking!" Before the man could react, the girl’s father scolded, picked up the girl, and hastened his steps away.
The man was stunned a bit, hesitated for a while, then walked back step by step with the water and started cleaning the house. The dust in the house was gradually cleaned away, and lastly, it was the mirror on the side wall.
The man carefully wiped the dust off the mirror, then looked down to clean the cloth in his hand. When he raised his head, he found a figure of a girl with disheveled hair appeared in the mirror.
Shocked, the man screamed and quickly turned around, only to find nothing behind him, not a soul. The man, still in shock, sat on the ground, his eyes widened again.
The man stayed in this house for three days, during which he was constantly frightened by various terrifying scenes. Whenever the man screamed in fear, those watching were also terrified to the point of frequently screaming.
After three days, the man finally broke down, not caring about taking the box, only wanting to escape from the room. But at this moment, the girl who had only been scaring him reappeared.
The following scene was pitch black, only the man’s horrified scream kept sounding. When the screen lit up again, there was no one in the room.
Only the originally stained walls were covered with a layer of fresh blood, while the long abandonment allowed the dust to slowly accumulate in the house.
The dust fell on the blood-splattered walls, slowly turning into a dark layer of wall paint, covering patches of bloodstains, leaving just a small upturned corner.
After an unknown period, a dusty woman carrying a bamboo box arrived at this desolate house. She pushed open the door, and then, on the dusty floor, a footprint appeared!
This footprint heralded the beginning of a new cycle, another horror story was about to unfold.
The movie ended here. Everyone still sat in their seats, not yet recovered from the last frightening scene. Indeed, quite a few people had screamed themselves hoarse by the end.
