Chapter 916: Chapter 916: Werewolf Village 13

Twilight descended once again.

Bai Youwei and Shen Mo were separated once again.

Although they looked for abandoned houses that were not far apart, the thought of the Werewolf appearing and the two of them not being together filled them with unease.

Bai Youwei felt that this reliance wasn’t good, being too attached to someone always brought fear of loss.

But then she thought, hadn’t all her constant efforts been in order to spend more time with him? … The game would end sooner or later, but she hoped the person by her side would never leave, never end.

The crimson moon rose, casting the entire village in a dark red glow.

Bai Youwei sat in front of the stone bed, moonlight filtering through the window and enveloping her in a misty layer.

Remembering the small characters on the fountain statue, she felt uncomfortable all over, got up with the rabbit in her arms, and wanted to find something to block the moonlight.

It would be best to find some cloth to use as curtains.

Old bedsheets were in the large wooden cabinet by the window, Bai Youwei got up and walked over, opening the cabinet only to be greeted by a face-full of dust, causing her to cough twice.

The cabinet reeked of mold, mixed with a strange, stale smell.

Bai Youwei immediately gave up the idea of looking for cloth; she would rather endure the moonlight for two hours than lift a finger to touch those fabrics that had lain there for who knows how many years.

They might have been gnawed by rats, crawled over by spiders, or infested by nameless little bugs…

The more she thought about it, the more disgusted she felt.

Bai Youwei was about to close the cabinet door when the rabbit by her side suddenly twitched its ears, looking alertly out the window.

Bai Youwei’s heart skipped a beat!

Almost without thinking, she grabbed the rabbit and crouched down, hiding in the cabinet!

She only managed to close one door of the cabinet, a shadow appeared at the window, Bai Youwei dared not move any further, holding her breath, frozen as she stared at that shadow…

It was black, massive, clearly projected on the floor, and its long, pointed ears indicated that the shadow did not belong to a human.

It stopped in front of the window.

Was she tonight’s target?

Bai Youwei curled up inside the wooden cabinet, surrounded by moldy fabrics, her brain racing–

Why had the Werewolf chosen her?

What was different about her house compared to the other houses?

What other secrets had she not yet discovered in the village?

…The window creaked open.

Bai Youwei covered her mouth and nose.

The air seemed to freeze, time slowed down eerily, and she heard the Werewolf’s heavy breathing, the rustling of coarse hair against the window, and those claws… those huge, sharp claws, currently dragging across the windowsill…

Bang!

The sound nearly made Bai Youwei scream!

She clamped her mouth shut with all her might, terrified of making the slightest noise!

She silently shifted her gaze upward and saw the sharp nails appearing at the edge of the cabinet, and the dark grey fur around its neck…

The Werewolf, leaning against the cabinet, poked half its body in; if it looked down, it would discover Bai Youwei inside.

But it didn’t.

It scanned the room, found no prey, and slowly retreated…

Inside the cabinet, Bai Youwei breathed a sigh of relief.

She watched the fading shadow on the floor, planning to wait until it was far enough away before coming out of the cabinet.

But after waiting a while, Bai Youwei was still trembling with fear and unease.

Perhaps it wouldn’t give up so easily…

With this in mind, she silently held the rabbit tighter and continued to curl up inside the cabinet, waiting for daylight.

The black shadow suddenly reappeared!

Bai Youwei was shocked, her eyes wide as she watched the shadow on the floor! It had not left at all! It was pretending to leave, trying to coax her out!

But why?!

Why didn’t it simply search the house? There were hardly any places to hide in this house; if it came in through the main entrance, it would quickly find her hiding in the cabinet!

Could it be because the Werewolf was also bound by rules? If it attacked an empty house, would it be unable to attack anyone else tonight? Was that why it dared not truly enter this house?

All kinds of thoughts bubbled up, Bai Youwei’s mind was in turmoil, and no matter what, she didn’t plan to come out again!

The Werewolf outside the window finally gave up, issuing a roar from its throat before heavily running off towards another house!
