I felt a wave of dizziness, as if I were caught in a swirling vortex, everything around me becoming blurred and indistinct. 0
 
The floor undulated like waves, and the old photographs on the walls twisted into grotesque shapes, mocking my helplessness. 0
 
I struggled to open my eyes, but my eyelids felt as heavy as lead, refusing to budge. 0
 
I tried with all my might, yet my eyelids seemed glued shut, immovable. 0
 
The piercing cries of Jiang Yao echoed in my ears, each wail like a sharp knife stabbing at my eardrums, sending waves of nausea and fear coursing through me. 0
 
Amidst the cries was a chilling sobbing, as if it were accusing something or pleading for something. 0
 
I felt my body becoming weightless, like a feather drifting aimlessly through the air, losing all sense of direction and control. 0
 
I was like a kite with its string cut, tossed about by the fierce wind, rising and falling, swaying left and right. 0
 
I wanted to struggle, to escape, but found myself utterly immobilized, as if bound by an invisible force. 0
 
My limbs were stiff, my breathing labored, and my consciousness began to fade. 0
 
Despair washed over me; was I truly going to die here? 0
 
The fear of death surged like a tide, threatening to drown me. 0
 
Suddenly, I heard a gentle voice calling my name: "Lin Xia... Lin Xia..." 0
 
That voice was like a ray of sunlight piercing through the thick darkness, illuminating the despair within my heart. 0
 
It was familiar yet strange, reminiscent of something heard in a dream—ethereal yet distinctly clear. 0
 
 
It was like a fine thread, pulling me back from the abyss of death. 0
 
I struggled to open my eyes, wanting to see who was calling me. Finally, my eyelids parted just enough to reveal a blurry figure standing before me. The figure radiated a soft glow, like a bright lamp illuminating the dark room. 0
 
The light was not blinding; instead, it dispelled the surrounding darkness and brought a sense of warmth and hope. 0
 
I wanted to see her face clearly, but I found it impossible. Her features were indistinct, as if shrouded in a thin mist that obscured my view. 0
 
That mist was like a mysterious veil, hiding her true appearance and making me even more curious. 0
 
She reached out her hand and gently caressed my cheek. Her touch was warm, like the sunlight on a winter day, driving away the chill that enveloped me. I felt a wave of comfort and reassurance, as if I had returned to my mother’s embrace. 0
 
That warm sensation filled me with an unparalleled sense of security, as if all my fears had vanished into thin air. 0
 
“Lin Xia, don’t be afraid. I’m here.” 0
 
Her voice was gentle yet firm, like a calming balm that soothed my spirit. 0
 
Her soothing words flowed again like a clear spring, washing away my fears and anxieties. 0
 
My heartbeat gradually steadied, and my breathing became smoother. 0
 
I felt my body slowly regaining sensation; my eyelids grew lighter. At last, I could fully open my eyes and see everything before me. 0
 
The furnishings in the room were still old-fashioned, but they no longer filled me with dread; instead, they felt oddly familiar. 0
 
Standing in front of me was a woman with flowing hair. Her gaze was deep and mysterious, as if she could see through everything. 0
 
 
Her eyes sparkled like the stars in the night sky, radiating a glow of wisdom. 0
 
She wore a simple yet elegant outfit reminiscent of the Republic of China, exuding a faint scent of sandalwood that contrasted sharply with the musty odor lingering in the old house, making her presence feel refreshingly out of place. 0
 
The mingling scents of sandalwood and mildew created a peculiar aroma that, surprisingly, was not unpleasant. 0
 
I recognized her; she was my neighbor, Chen Mo, a mysterious and knowledgeable woman who was well-versed in the history of the old residence. 0
 
Her appearance was unexpected yet somehow felt inevitable. 0
 
I asked in astonishment, "Chen Mo? What are you doing here?" 0
 
My voice was slightly hoarse, tinged with disbelief. 0
 
Chen Mo smiled gently and replied, "I sensed that you were in danger, so I came to check on you." 0
 
Her smile was as warm as a spring breeze, soothing my inner turmoil. 0
 
Her voice was calm, as if everything were under her control. I felt a wave of reassurance wash over me, as if I had found a lifeline. 0
 
Looking around, I noticed that Jiang Yao had vanished without a trace. The room felt empty, leaving just Chen Mo and me. A shiver ran down my spine as I recalled everything that had just happened; it felt like a nightmare that lingered in my mind. 0
 
My back grew cold, and sweat soaked through my clothes. 0
 
Chen Mo looked at me with concern in her eyes and asked, "Are you alright?" 0
 
Her gaze was filled with worry, bringing me a sense of warmth amidst my fear. 0
 
 
I shook my head and said, "I'm fine, thank you for saving me." 0
 
My voice still trembled a bit, but my heart had calmed down significantly. 0
 
Chen Mo smiled slightly and replied, "No need to thank me; it's what I should do." 0
 
Her smile reassured me, as if everything would be alright. 0
 
She paused for a moment before continuing, "Lin Xia, I know you're very interested in the history of the old mansion, but it's dangerous here. You'd better not come back." 0
 
Her tone turned serious, which made me feel a twinge of unease. 0
 
I looked at Chen Mo, filled with confusion, and asked, "Why? What secrets are hidden in this old mansion?" 0
 
My curiosity was thoroughly piqued; I was eager to know the answer. 0
 
Chen Mo's gaze deepened as she said, "Some secrets are better left undiscovered." 0
 
Her tone was grave, as if warning me about something. I felt a wave of anxiety wash over me, my heart filled with both curiosity and fear. I desperately wanted to know the truth but was also afraid of facing the unknown dangers. 0
 
My heart was conflicted; I craved the truth yet feared the consequences it might bring. 0
 
Chen Mo looked at me and sighed, saying, "Lin Xia, I know you're brave, but some things can't be solved just by courage." 0
 
She paused again before adding, "If you really want to know the truth, I can help you. But you must promise me that no matter what happens, you will stay calm and not act impulsively." 0
 
I gazed at Chen Mo, filled with gratitude. I nodded and said, "I promise you." 0
 
 
Chen Mo smiled slightly and said, "Alright, let's go." 0
 
She took my hand and led me out of the room, leaving the old house behind. 0
 
Outside, the night was as dark as ink, and the cold wind pierced through me. I took a deep breath, feeling as if I had just awakened from a nightmare, filled with confusion and unease. 0
 
Chen Mo looked at me and said, "Lin Xia, I know you have many questions, but now is not the time to tell you. When the moment is right, I will explain everything." 0
 
I nodded and replied, "I understand." 0
 
Chen Mo smiled and said, "Well, it's getting late. You should head back and rest." 0
 
I looked at Chen Mo, my heart full of gratitude. I said, "Thank you, Chen Mo." 0
 
She turned to leave, her figure gradually disappearing into the night. I stood there watching her back, filled with both doubt and anticipation. I sensed that my fate would undergo a tremendous change because of tonight's encounter. 0
 
I turned and walked towards home. My steps felt heavy, my heart filled with anxiety. Tonight's experience only deepened my curiosity and fear regarding the secrets of the old house. 0
 
I felt as if I had been swept into a massive whirlpool from which there was no escape. I didn't know what awaited me, but I had made up my mind to uncover the secrets of the old house, no matter how dangerous it might be. 0
 
I looked up at the night sky, where countless stars twinkled with mysterious light, as if guiding me forward. Taking a deep breath, I continued on my way, disappearing into the darkness. 0
