Yan Banmeng recently started working at a new company.
During lunch, the colleague at the next desk chatted with her.
"I don't know if you've heard the legend about this building."
Yan Banmeng glanced at the office with its curtains drawn. The food in her mouth suddenly seemed tasteless, and she quickly swallowed before cautiously asking,
"What legend?"
Her colleague unscrewed the lid of her thermos. A few bright red goji berries floated on the surface. She took a small sip,
then slowly answered,
"They say there's a vengeful spirit in this building."
"It shows up close to midnight. According to people in the know, it's deathly pale and keeps muttering, 'Don't lock me in here.'"
Her colleague's voice was airy and ghostly. Paired with the enormous dark circles under her eyes from working too much overtime, it made Yan Banmeng rub the goose bumps rising on her arms.
Suddenly, Yan Banmeng felt a chill at the back of her neck and spun around.
Oh, someone had pointed the air conditioner vent down.
