Chapter 103 Mirage

At night, people always think of anxiety, fear and heaviness.Especially a dark night, that is the beginning of many stories. It was past two o'clock in the morning, and everything was still. A woman returning from the night was walking alone on the cold road. The sound of "clack-clack" high-heeled shoes echoed on the road, which seemed very abrupt.Perhaps due to years of disrepair, the street lights on both sides of the road flickered, making the road look eerie.
