Chapter 107: The Gathering Crowd
The scene unfolded as a vibrant and sunlit expanse adorned with lush bushes and an air of serenity. The contrast between the dimly lit passage and this radiant oasis left Anna momentarily awestruck.
Despite the initial discomfort, her pain-ridden eyes soon adapted to the brilliance of the surroundings, revealing the beauty that awaited her in this newfound realm of light and tranquillity.
Curiosity mingled with confusion as Anna stepped cautiously into the unknown site. Her surroundings left her in awe, and she couldn’t help but wonder, "What is this place?"
Her eyes scanned the unfamiliar landscape, trying to make sense of her sudden transition.
As she took in her surroundings, a wave of astonishment washed over her. She had emerged from the mansion and found herself standing outside in an open space surrounded by wild, untrimmed plants. The realisation filled her with a mixture of surprise and intrigue.
How had she ventured from the confines of the mansion to this place?
Puzzled by the absence of the voice that had called for help, Anna’s attention was abruptly captured by a sudden gust of wind.
The haunting howling sound resurfaced, echoing through the passage she had just traversed. A realisation struck her, and a relieved smile stretched across her face.
"Oh, it’s just the wind! Silly me!" she exclaimed, her relief palpable.
Determined to retrace her steps and return to familiar territory, Anna decided to reenter the passage. However, just as she approached the door, a forceful gust of wind slammed it shut with a resounding thud.
Panic washed over her as she frantically attempted to open the door, only to discover that it was jammed shut. No matter how hard she strained, it refused to budge.
