The Reunion After Seven Years

Chapter 48 Human Or Ghost

As he passed by the washroom, Ken thought he heard an odd noise, but couldn't be too sure. He slowed down to try to identify the noise. He even held his breath so that he wouldn't miss the sound if it repeated again. Not hearing anything, he decided to leave.

"Open the door... Please..."

There was that sound again! Ken looked down at the signs on the floor and frowned to himself.

"Since when is this a haunted building?"

Silence again. Ken shook his head, trying to convince himself it was his imagination. Just as he was about to leave, he heard a faint voice.

"Hello? Is anybody there?"

"Who's that? Are you a human or a ghost?"

Ken yelled in the direction of the washroom.

His voice immediately attracted the staff in the office.

"Tap tap tap..."

Nicole heard the voice outside the door but didn't dare to be too excited. She was scared it was just her imagination playing tricks on her. She quickly banged on the door as hard as she could. She couldn't shout anymore as her throat was already dry from all the earlier shouting, to the point that even the slightest noise made her wince with pain.

"Oh my God, there's someone in there!"

Ken quickly called for the maintenance staff, but the spare key was nowhere to be found.

"Let me try."

Ken took a few steps away from the tightly closed door. Then he rushed towards the door and kicked it open in one swift motion.

"Ahhh!"

Nicole had been leaning on the door, not expecting someone to come and kick it open. Before she realized what was going on, she was trapped under the collapsed door. She had no time at all to react.

Ken thought the scream sounded vaguely familiar. He bent down and took a closer look at the woman lying on the floor. His eyes filled with shock and recognition.
