Chapter 25


    The cold breeze ofte autumn blew into the room in the middle of the night, apanied by


    creepy snakes, creating achilling r


    gmood.


    Outside the window was the dark balcony connected to the next room.


    Hera was about to move to the window when a dark figure suddenly shed across the balcony.


    With a snap, the lights in her room were switched off


    Hera was speechless.


    dino squatted under the window with a camera, waiting to record Hera’s miserable cry of fear


    Three minutester, however, the expected cry didn’t ur.


    Squatting out there in his pajamaste at night, Gino was freezing


    Why was this bumpkin not screaming yet? Her reaction was slow!


    Another ten minutes passed, and the room remained quiet.


    Could that bumplon have fainted from fright?


    Gino couldn’t hold himself back anymore. He pressed the remote control in his hand, switching on


    the lights in the room.


    He peeked into the room, only to find nobody nor anakes. What was going on? Thinking he was


    mistaken, he poked his head into the room.


    “Is at fun?” A cold voice suddenly rang out behind Gine. He jolted up in shock, but his head on the


    window, and fell to the ground in pain.


    He lost his camera. In a pank, his hand identally pressed the remote and the lights were


    switched off again. The surroundings instantly fell into darkness again.


    “Who the hell are you scaring? Ah!” Gino cursed, covering his head. Then, he turned around, only


    to see a pale face behind him. He screamed in horror, “Ah! A ghost! Stay away from me!”


    “Shut up! It’s noisy.” Hera’s head buzzed from Gino’s scream.


    She turned off the shlightof her phone and sivitched on the balcony light


    Upon hearing the familiar voice, Gino immediately stopped screaming. Seeing it was Hera, he got


    up from the ground angrily.


    “Country bumpkin, how dare you scare me!” He stepped forward in a huff, wanting to kick Hera,


    As Gino stepped closer, he saw Hera clenching two snakes in her left hand. The snakes‘ bodies


    were wrapped around her arm.


    Hera raised her left hand. Gino freaked out, staggered a few steps hack, and slumped on the floor


    “Y–You… Y–You..” Gino’s face turned pale in horror. He stammered for a long time without uttering


    a word.


    “Did you do this? Hera nced condescendingly at the trembling Gino, her exquisite face full of


    indifference.


    Despite his fear, Gino couldn’t tolerate Hera’s questioning. He was the one who was making fun of


    Hera. Why did it turn out the other way around?


    He couldn’t ept it and stubbornly argued, “It’s your fault for fighting for the room with me! You


    deserve to be bitten by a poisonous snake! If you plead with me, I can consider forging you Ah!


    Hera didn’t bother to listen to Gino’s childish speech. She threw the snakes straight at him.


    Terrified, Gino spun around in circles. He pushed Hera away, dashed back to his room, and


    mmed the door shut.


    The two snakes fell to the floor without even touching Gino’s clothes. Hera was dumbfounded as


    she looked at the puddle of liquid on the flooc


    Meanwhile, Berard was leaning on his bed.


    He had checked his WhatsApp countless times, but Hera hadn’t messaged him back. He had the


    urge to give her a call and ask her why. But after checking the time, he dropped the


    idea.


    Bernard grabbed his iPad from the bedside and searched on Google about how to initiate a


    conversation with others.


    At this moment, a message came through WhatsApp with a ding

    Picking up his phone, Bernard saw a new friend request.


    Gigi: “Hi, Fra Guselle. The firamisu cake was delicious. Thank you. Please ept my friend


    request!”


    Bernard’s finger slid across the screen and tapped on the ignore option. Then, he continued


    searching on Google on his iPad.
