Before going to bed at night, Gray was about to turn off the lights, when Deeli grabbed his hand and said, "Don't be busy. ”

Gray turned around and asked, "Honey, is there anything else?" ”

Di Li nodded, "Shall we talk for a while?" ”

"Absolutely." Gray was half-lying on the bed, his head resting on the back of the bed, "What do you want to talk to me about?" ”

"About this house."

Gray frowned imperceptibly.

"What do you want to know, Deere?" He asked patiently.

"Tell me that this house was handed down by your ancestors - do you know what year it was built?"

"I don't know, I've never asked about these things."

"Your parents and you used to live in this house, right?"

"Yes."

"Why don't you and your mother stay here after your father died?"

"My mother remarried, and I—I told you, this is too far from where I work."

"You mean, you haven't lived here for three years since you inherited the house at the age of twenty-seven?"

“…… Yes. ”

"Where's Kaz? How many years have you kept it? ”

"Didn't I tell you the first day I came? He was brought to our house when he was a puppy and has been in our house for ten years. ”

Gray straightened up suddenly, "Hey, Deere, what are you doing?" Do you blame the prisoner? ”

Deli pursed her lips and was silent for a few seconds, then said, "I just wanted to know something about this house." ”

"So do you know enough now? Are there any questions? Gray said impatiently.

"Okay, last question." "You said your father told you when you were a child that you were never to enter that locked storeroom—don't you be curious?" Now that you've inherited the house and are the owner of it, you've never thought to open it to see what's inside? ”

"Oh my God! Deely. Gray exclaimed, "That's a no-no!" I told you, you can't get into that room! ”

"But ......"

"Alright, stop talking!" Gray rudely interrupted her, "I don't want to talk about this anymore, sleep." ”

With that, he reached out and turned off the light next to the bed. The room went dark.

After a few minutes, Gray heard a tiny sobbing sound in the silent darkness.

He sighed, somewhat regretting his arbitrary actions. Gray gently hugged Dili in the darkness and said, "Honey, just now...... It's me who is bad, I was too reckless, forgive me. ”

Deli was still sobbing and didn't speak.

"Tomorrow is Saturday, I'll go shopping with you, okay?" Gray apologized, "Don't be mad at me. ”

Dilly stopped sobbing and slowly slipped into the bed. Gray was still whispering coaxing words.

And just like that, they fell asleep.

In the middle of the night, Dilly was once again awakened by the sound of a dog barking, and she sat up a little and listened carefully to the sounds coming from the bathroom.

Still the same as last night, Kaz screamed for a while, not very loudly, if there was nothing.

Inadvertently, Dilly glanced at the old wall clock on the wall again and was stunned.

It's 3:15 again—almost exactly like last night!

Dilly frowned, and she ran her chin back and forth with her hand, trying to wonder - what the hell was going on?

A minute later, Dee Li decides to wake up Gray and ask him to go to the bathroom to see why Kaz keeps screaming.

Gray ...... Gray, wake up," Dee called as she shook Gray's body.

Gray was shaken awake from his sleep, and he squinted his eyes and asked, "Diley, what's wrong?" ”

"Listen, Kaz is barking again."

When Gray heard the dog barking, he rubbed his eyes impatiently and said, "Let it bark, it's not very loud anyway, what's the matter?" ”

With that, he rolled over and was about to fall asleep again.

"Gray, don't you think it's strange that this dog barks every night?" Dee Li was a little anxious.

"What's so strange about a dog barking a few times in the middle of the night? Deely, I'm almost asleep. ”

"But I've noticed that it calls at the same time every night, right now, at three fifteen." Deli said.

A few seconds after these words were uttered, Gray seemed to suddenly remember something, he turned over sharply, and asked, "What did you say?" ”

"I said the dog barks at 3:15 every night."

"Now...... Is it 3:15? There was a hint of fear in Gray's tone.

"Look at the clock on the wall yourself." Dee Li pointed to the wall clock.

Gray propped himself up and looked at the big clock whose hands glowed in the night.

Then, there was silence.

In the darkness, Deli couldn't see Gray's face. But she felt that Gray's body seemed to tremble.

"Gray, what's wrong with you?" She asked.

Gray slowly retracted the covers, turned his body to Dilly, and said, "It's nothing, sleep." ”

At this time, the barking of the dog stopped.

"Gray......" Deli whispered to her fiancé, but wondered if he was asleep or not, and there was no response.

Deli sighed helplessly, she half-leaned on the bed, unable to fall asleep for a long time.
