Chapter 1: The Mysterious Shadow (1)
“Yi Yi.”
“Yi Yi.”
A faint voice called out, waking the little girl from her slumber.
In the dark of the night, in a cramped square bedroom, a young girl with long black hair lay in bed, covered by a grey-white quilt that reached her shoulders, revealing the faded lace trim of her nightgown.
The girl looked to be about seven or eight years old. She had a delicate face with a slightly high nose, and two red pimples on her chin. She seemed to be at that age when she was just beginning to understand the world around her.
Upon hearing the voice, she slowly opened her eyes, sat up, and looked around.
The room was shrouded in darkness, with only a faint moonlight filtering in through the window, dimly illuminating the foot of the bed.
At the foot of the bed, there stood a dark figure.
The upper body of the figure was engulfed in darkness, its face obscured.
