Chapter 948 In Progress (1/2)

This was a deserted yard, which didn't cover a large area. When he was on the wall, Maxim had observed the whole yard carefully.

No one had taken care of the yard for a long time. Most of the yard was covered with thatches of the same height of a person.

The small leaves of the grass were densely packed in the courtyard, making people unable to find a place to stand.

When he came down, there were several scratches on the bottom of his trousers. If he hadn't seen the blood on the leaf, he wouldn't have noticed it.

On the other side of the courtyard wall was a small courtyard. It was built in the style of the period of the Republic of China and was well maintained. There was no obvious exposed place, but also no traces of living.

Maxim pushed away the thatch carefully and walked towards the courtyard. It was not a long distance and he should have arrived soon.

He felt that he had walked a long distance, but there was no sign of the courtyard in front of him. Did he go in the wrong direction? He gasped for breath and tried to walk ahead after confirming the correct direction.

It was said that when ghosts stopped someone, the person would get lost and unable to find the right direction. Although he didn't believe it, it was mysterious at night.

He tried to comfort himself, but an idea came to his mind.

With a shudder, he suddenly felt a little palpitation and powerless panic.

A gust of cold wind blew from behind, as if someone was blowing towards his neck. He tried to turn his head, but found that his neck seemed to be a little stiff, and he could not turn his head at all.

The woman's sobs, sometimes high and sometimes low, floated in the air, sometimes far and sometimes close. He tried to catch the cry from the wind, but found that he seemed to be unable to hear any sound.

With all his strength, he suddenly turned his head. He was surprised to find that he had returned to the starting point, back to the place where he had just come down the wall of the courtyard.
