With a heart full of anxiety, Li Shang finally fell asleep.
He did not know how much time had passed when he was woken up by someone’s speaking voice.
“A new brother has joined us.
Let me introduce you guys.” Is he sleeptalking again? Li Shang opened his eyes only to realise that Han Dong was no longer in his bed.
He lifted his head and saw him standing next to the window.
“He’s probably on the phone…” Not paying much attention to him, Li Shang turned over and continued to sleep.
As a result, he felt something hard digging into his arms.
He reached out for it and realised that it was actually Han Dong’s phone.
A thunderbolt swept across Li Shang’s mind.
They were on the fifth floor.
Who was he talking to at the window if he was not on the phone? Recalling what the informer said regarding Han Dong’s ability to “communicate with spirits”, recalling his attributes related to the gods and whatnot, Shang Li’s heart clenched.
When he stared in Han Dong’s direction again, his eyes rolled back, showing the whites of his eyes.
In front of Han Dong were five women who appeared out of nowhere, their bodies stiff and their skin appeared exceptionally pale in the darkness.
“Come, say hello to Brother Li!” Han Dong told one of them.
The sight scared the bejesus out of him.
He rolled out of bed and staggered as he ran towards the door but was, instead, blocked by Han Dong who rushed to him at the speed of lightning.
“Why are you running?” Han Dong asked with his eyes closed.
Yes, his eyes had remained closed from the start until the end.
With his eyes closed, he wandered freely across the room.
With his eyes still closed, he correctly judged Li Shang’s position and blocked him.
Li Shang was scared shitless completely.
He had absolutely no power to resist and was dragged to the five “women” by Han Dong.
“Listen to my command, stand at ease! Attention! Look towards Brother Li!” After Han Dong dished out his commands, he dragged Li Shang around to introduce each of them to him one by one, “This is Teacher Cang, this is Lulu, this is Zhizhi, this is Jiaojiao, this is Shoushou.” When Li Shang finally had a proper look, he was immediately drenched in cold sweat, his tears nearly following.
The five “women” standing in front of him were not zombies nor ghosts, they were god damned inflatable dolls!! The fury rushed out in Li Shang’s heart in an instant.
God damn it, why was he playing such a prank in the middle of the night to scare people instead of sleeping?! Just as he was about to curse out, his mouth was covered by someone who had suddenly charged into the room.
“Don’t make a sound!” The intruder reminded him in a quiet voice, “People who are sleepwalking should not be woken up carelessly.” Li Shang was shocked.
Sleepwalking? Not only did he sleep talk, but he also sleepwalked? Just what kind of person had he met? “This guy can’t really keep things to himself.
Whenever there is something bothering him, he’ll always act it out by sleepwalking at night.” Li Shang thought about it and realised that it was truly the case.
Han Dong concealed the fact that he owned inflatable dolls during the day and ended up sharing his “personal collection” as if he could not wait any longer.
“Hey, who are you?” Li Shang only thought to ask now.
The man replied, “I’m the one staying diagonally opposite.” The buddy that was staying diagonally opposite of them… Wasn’t he the one who had a full “sleep talking” conversation with Han Dong… An alarmed expression appeared on Li Shang’s face once again, “You, you, you… Don’t tell me you’re sleepwalking too?” “Are you blind?” The man scorned, “Can’t you see that my eyes are open?” Li Shang let out a sigh of relief before he turned around to glance at Han Dong, again.
He suddenly felt a sense of pity towards him, “How pitiful is this person, selling himself out.” The man hmphed coldly, “I suggest you worry about yourself.
If you, by any chance, provoke him, he’ll not fuss over it during daytime but he may just stab you with a knife at night.” Just as he finished his sentence, Han Dong suddenly slapped “Teacher Cang”, causing her to fall on the ground.
“This is what you get for not paying for the rent!” Li Shang was silent.
