To Be a Heartthrob in a Horror Movie [English Translation]

Chapter 6: Footsteps

Although Lin Xiao Yan and Lin Yiri had the same surnames, they were not relatives.

Su Min gestured for them to be silent and whispered, "Go up and see."

This time, he came prepared, bringing along a very dangerous weapon, i.e., an ordinary fruit knife. He even brought two, just in case anything unexpected happens.

After all, not all enemies were the supernatural.

In the past, the government had prohibited the appearances of ghosts in movies, resulting in countless of bad and rotten horror films. Due to the angry protests of netizens throughout the years, the law finally relented and revoked the ban.

That still didn't stop all the rotten films that were released afterwards, though.

When Su Min went up the stairs, he saw that the situation of the second floor was identical to the first.

The office building had a total of two flights of stairs, each located on their respective ends of the corridor with the elevator not being too far away.

On the second floor, all the offices were locked up. There was only the ice-cold moonlight, casting down in a way that made it seemed like a ghost could pop out at any second.

The washrooms were right next to the staircase and could be reached in less than three steps.

Su Min leaned against the wall to listen for any kind of noise, but the rustling from before was gone. Somehow, the silence was more frightening than any sound he could've heard.

"Is there anybody there?" Lin Xiao Yan asked.

Su Min shook his head. "I don't know."

Since Zhang Yuan was a female, she would naturally be in the ladies washroom, so they went to check there. Still, it was Su Min's first time entering such a place.

Passed the sink and further back were five open stalls. Opposite of them was a tightly sealed window.

Su Min pursed his lips, preparing his heart as he examined the stalls one by one.

The doors were wide open, but there was no trace of Zhang Yuan anywhere inside.

Was she not on this floor?

Afraid that he had missed something, Su Min went to the boy's restroom. Seeing that no one was there, he circled back to the ladies washroom.

Lin Yiri stood upright in the middle, sighing ruefully. "Wow, so the girl's bathroom looks like this, huh."

In this whole entire building, they seemed to be the only three there.

Su Min stood rooted in place, face deep in thought. "Let's go to the sixth floor."

An incident had happened on the seventh floor, and since the sixth floor was the closest to it, Zhang Yuan might in one of the toilet cubicles there.

However, just to be safe, Su Min still checked every washroom each floor up. Like he had expected, Zhang Yuan wasn't in any one of them.

Once they were on the fifth floor, a sound rattled from upstairs.

All three people heard it this time.

"Is that Zhang Yuan?" asked Lin Xiao Yan.

Su Min, "It should be."

He silenced his footsteps, leading the way up. As they got closer, the sound grew more distinct, resembling running water.

Su Min subconsciously thought back to the thin blood that flowed out of the running faucet this morning.

It was unlikely that "Thriller University" will have this kind of soft and rotten plot, right...?
