Only the last house remains in the entire old alley.
There were no neighbors to the left or right, no one in front or behind, and it was the only thing left standing alone at the end of the entire block.
I had no money to rent, so I rented this old house that no one dared to live in at a low price.
On the first night of my stay, I found a yellowed copy of "Rules of Living in an Old House" on the table in the living room.
"Rule 1: Do not respond to footsteps on the second floor after twelve o'clock at night."
"Principle 2: Don't open the letters deep in the cabinet at will."
"Principle 3: It is just too lonely and will never harm the residents."
The whole old house is full of weirdness, including footsteps in the night, whispers in the empty room, and figures flashing in the mirror.
Everyone says it's haunted.
Only I slowly discovered——
The most terrifying thing in the world is never malice, but the loneliness and obsession of having no one to accompany you for hundreds of years.
I deciphered the rules, solved the mystery, and finally walked out of the endless loneliness with that gentle soul who had been trapped for hundreds of years.
