A dating guide turned into being surrounded by female ghosts?

Chapter 112 The Terror of Closing In

Night falls.

Guan Ziming returned to his home, where he was all alone.

But strangely, even though it's daytime now, he's been working all day since leaving home.

But when he came back...

The house was still brightly lit, as bright as day.

The entire large apartment had thirty-seven large lights and twelve small lights, even the bedside lamp was on.

After Guan Ziming returned, the first thing he did was quickly go into the bathroom, turn on the tap, and vigorously scrub his face with water.

His movements were so rough, as if he had a grudge against me.

It wasn't until quite a while later that this happened.

He finally looked up at his reflection in the mirror, where his face, though pale and fragile, still showed signs of lingering fear, even after rubbing it for a long time.

Looking at himself, Guan Ziming suddenly felt a deep-seated fear flash in his eyes.

He gritted his teeth fiercely and spoke to the vulnerable man in the mirror.

"Ignore that lunatic from earlier today; that's all in the past."

"So, you don't need to be afraid!"

"That thing... won't come looking for you anymore."

The lawyer stayed in the bathroom for a long time before slowly emerging.

After he came out, he collapsed onto the sofa, exhausted, and soon fell asleep.

I don't know how much time passed.

It was getting darker and darker outside.

Guan Ziming didn't know what he was dreaming about, but he suddenly jumped up from the sofa.

He was covered in sweat and panting heavily.

His eyes darted frantically across the surrounding lights.

I only felt much more at ease after confirming that none of those lights had gone out.

He looked at the crystal clock on the wall as if he had survived a catastrophe.

...

There are less than five minutes left until 10 o'clock.

He let out a long sigh, rubbed his temples, and prepared to go to the bathroom to take a shower and rest.

But just as he stood up...

"Sizzle"

A strange sound came from above.

Guan Ziming's face stiffened.

He slowly raised his head.

The luxurious living room light was flickering, sometimes bright and sometimes dim, as if it would go out completely at any moment.

Guan Ziming's eyes widened instantly, staring intently at the lamp above his head, not daring to blink even once.

He swallowed hard, his throat bobbing, and his fingers, pressed tightly against the seam of his trousers, trembled slightly.

"Gurgle"

The lights were still flickering.

Finally, after half a minute of torture...

The voltage in the house has finally stabilized.

The all-copper jade chandelier then resumed its stable illumination.

Upon seeing this, Guan Ziming breathed a sigh of relief.

"call"

My body relaxed as a result.

However, in the very next second...

"Bang"

The chandelier made a muffled sound.

The entire room was plunged into complete darkness in an instant.

In an instant, Guan Ziming's brain felt as if it had been pricked by a needle.

His whole body suddenly convulsed.

What follows is an uncontrollable physiological reaction.

Breathing rapidly, heart pounding, gasping for air, her still-damp temples were immediately soaked again.

He was like a fish that had been forcibly dragged ashore. He hurriedly called out to his home's smart assistant, asking it to turn on the lights, but the AI, which was usually quick to answer any questions, did not respond at all.

With no other option, Guan Ziming could only cautiously reach for the light switch in the living room.

After bumping his legs several times in the room, Cao finally found the button.

Touching the smooth switch, a sense of security finally returned.

He pressed it immediately without hesitation.

"Click"

The lights are on.

The living room lights have been restored.

Guan Ziming's expression did not improve at all; on the contrary, it became even more unpleasant.

Because, just a moment ago, during that transition between light and darkness...

He seemed to see a dark figure in the very center of the living room.

"Is it a hallucination?"

"Why would I see something like this?!"

"Is that monster coming after me again?"

"But... wait a minute, that figure just now... was different."

Guan Ziming's mind was filled with doubts that were about to overwhelm him.

He didn't even realize that he had already turned on the light.

But his body remained in the strange posture of pressing the switch.

After thinking about it for a long time.

With a hint of doubt, he stared intently at the spot where the figure had just appeared.

The switch was pressed again.

"Kaichi—"

In that instant when light and darkness met.

Guan Ziming finally saw it clearly.

In the center of the living room stood a truly terrifying figure.

She was slender, with a long dress and long hair, and her whole body seemed to be made of black shadows. Although it was blurry and only a general outline could be seen, this scene that defied common sense still hit him hard on the head like a heavy hammer.

Boom—

Guan Ziming trembled violently, sweat poured down his face, and the hair at the back of his head stood on end.

The intense fear at that moment told him only one thing.

There's something in this house!

run!

Without thinking, he took off running.

He rushed into the bedroom faster than a 100-meter sprinter.

"Click click click one"

Then they quickly locked the door from the inside.

After finishing all of this.

He then took out his mobile phone and dialed the police.

"beep"

The phone just rang.

Guan Ziming growled in a desperate, almost frantic voice, "Hey?! Police officers? Come save me! There's a monster in my house!"

But he had just finished speaking.

The answer came through the receiver.

"Sorry, you are not currently in the service area..."

Guan Ziming's expression froze instantly.

He quickly took the phone off the shelf and looked at it; the signal quality icon was empty.

No signal!

No signal at home?!

What kind of joke is this?!

I talked to a client on the phone for over an hour yesterday!

However, before he could figure it out...

The lights on the ceiling, the bedside lamp, the wall lamps—all the lights in the bedroom—suddenly started flashing wildly, just like in the living room.

He stared at the scene in utter shock, his heart pounding along with the lights.

"Don't let it go out, don't let it go out, don't let it go out..."

He kept making quiet prayers.

But the next second, all the lights in the room went out at the same time.

The room was suddenly plunged into complete darkness.

Guan Ziming was terrified. He realized that running to the bedroom to hide was a huge mistake.

He should have run away from home from the very beginning.

If you run into an open space, at least you might encounter other passersby who will help you.

But now...

The only thing he could do was to take a gamble and reopen the door and run out.

But that figure is right outside!

Just as he was hesitating.

Suddenly, the mechanical sound of unlocking came from outside the door again.

Guan Ziming froze.

The sound wasn't coming from the bedroom door, but from the front door of his house!

Something is trying to get in.

There are other things too!

Terror is closing in step by step!
