Outside the door, a woman in a red wedding dress leaned over, seemingly trying to peek inside quietly...
Zion poked his head out and found himself face-to-face with her.
His breath hitched, and he jumped up suddenly, only to realize it was still a dream!
Zion was afraid.
Now he was in the dark, with dim lights outside the corridor and a rustling sound.
He was unable to tell if he was in a dream or reality!
Nobody could stay lucid forever, no matter how many dreams or dream-within-a-dream scenarios he went through.
Zion couldn't hold on anymore.
He gritted his teeth but didn't get up to turn on the lights or peek outside as he the dream.
Instead, he picked up the phone on his bedside table and made a called was sleeping soundly when her phone watch suddenly rang.
She groggily answered, "Hello... who is this?"
She didn't have Zion's number and rubbed her eyes, looking a little silly.
Zion's voice came through the phone, "Can you come to my room for a moment?"
"Uh?" Susie gradually woke up and recognized that it was Zion's voice.
The little girl immediately got out of bed and said, "I'm coming! I'm at the door of my room... I'm walking in the hallway now..."
"I'm here already, I'm approaching your door..." Zion listened to her on the phone, dumbfounded.
Despite being woken up, Susie didn't get angry. Her voice was soft and gentle, as if she feared scaring him.
She continued holding the phone watch and talking as she walked down the corridor, and soon her voice could be heard outside as well. Then, with a snap, the light turned on.
Zion closed his eyes and covered them with his hand, and in a daze, he saw a Panko running towards him.
She ran very fast and quickly climbed onto the bed, sitting next to him. "Brother, did you have a nightmare again?"
Zion didn't say anything for a moment.
Susie reached out and patted his back, "Don't be afraid!"
Zion pursed his lips and muttered, "Don't you think it's ridiculous?"
"Huh? It's not ridiculous at all. You're only seven years old, it's normal to be scared at your age.
Bedwetting is normal too." Susie didn't mind and comforted him.
Zion felt grateful for the comfort but also felt that it was enough and that she shouldn't do it again.
Zion laid down with his face to the wall, as if he didn't want to talk to her anymore.
But Susie kept patting his back, and he didn't refuse this time.
Susie didn't mind either. She yawned and quickly fell asleep.
Zion was surprised that she fell asleep so quickly.
So… does she still need to pat his back?
Perhaps people were always vulnerable in the middle of the night. Zion turned over carefully, pursed his lips, and looked at the Panko in front of him.
Round and a chubby little face, pink nose, pink cheeks, and a pink mouth, as if everything about the face is pink and chubby. In fact, the face is indeed very cute.
When sleeping, the hands are placed under the cheeks, looking harmless and innocent, making people trust him very much.
Zion murmured and also closed his eyes to sleep.
With Susie by his side, he felt a sense of security he had never felt before and slept soundly.
The next morning.
Zion woke up first, only to see Susie sleeping with her head tilted back and her legs crossed on his stomach, forming a spread-out shape.
He frowned and poked her foot unkindly, pushing it away, but Susie did not wake up and put her foot back again.
Zion removed her foot again, but this time, Susie seemed to get angry in her sleep and kicked his belly with force.
Zion felt like he had been stepped on by an elephant and exclaimed, "What the heck!"
Susie woke up drowsily and asked, "Brother, what's wrong with you?"
Zion stared at her and asked, "Did you grow up eating iron bars?" Her foot was so heavy!
Susie blinked in confusion and said, "No, I grow up eating vegetables." Zion sighed and said, "Okay, I believe you."
Susie rubbed her face and stood up, stretching lazily, saying, "I slept so well. Good morning, sun!"
Zion quickly walked out, looking a bit awkward.
He did not want anyone to know that he was scared at night and had called Susie over.
However, the annoying green parrot came out, flapping its wings and screaming, "Help, help, someone's gone, someone's gone!"
Michael was the first to run over, shouting loudly, "Where's Susie? Susie!"
Susie, who is barefoot, looks confused and said, "I'm here..."
Everyone was puzzled and asked her, "Why did you go to Zion's room?"
Susie replied, "I... I sleepwalk over."
Zion nodded and said, "She sleepwalks over."
The Murray family was speechless.
Alex flew onto Susie's shoulder, tilted his head, and cackled, "When I was still an egg, I met a fortune teller who said I would be bestowed with a yellow robe and dine with big fish and meat every meal - I don't believe in ghosts! That old geezer is full of it!"
Zion remained silent.

After breakfast, Zion finally admitted to Susie that he did see something dirty, but it was only in his dreams.
Susie exclaimed, "Just by looking at a photo?"
If you see someone who died in an accident on the road, don't linger and leave immediately.
Because if you stay too long, you might get stared at by the deceased, and the ghost will follow you home.
Susie heard from her master said that someone once saw a person who died in a car accident on the road, covered in blue cloth.
But he was curious and looked a few more times, and the wind blew the cloth away, and he suddenly saw the dead person's face.
Then he was haunted by the dead person.
Susie listened to what Zion said, touching her head with a puzzled look.
Yesterday, Zion only looked at a photo, but why did so many people who saw the photo get unlucky? It's ridiculous...
Mitch's voice rang out, "People can also get haunted by just looking at a photo."
Susie was happy, "Master is back!"
Zion frowned.
He saw Susie listening carefully to someone else before talking to him, and then said, "Even looking at a photo can bring bad luck, but fortunately, it's just bad luck, not evil spirits."
Zion was speechless.
Did everyone who saw the photo get unlucky? It's just ridiculous...
Zion rolled his eyes and walked away.
Mitch said, "Susie, Master chased that evil ghost for two days but didn't catch him. He's too cunning..."
Susie asked, "Is he a cunning ghost?"
Mitch replied, "...You're right!"
Susie was suddenly ecstatic, "I'm so good!"
Mitch's mouth twitched, and he continued, "That cunning ghost is not simple. He has been 'alive' for at least a hundred years.
He doesn't possess living people, only dead souls, so it's not easy to be caught."
Susie asked, "Why doesn't he just eat the souls directly?"
Directly eating them would make him fatter, and more powerful!
Mitch said, "That's where his cunning lies. He constantly cultivates vile ghosts and then lets them find people whose destiny matches his..."
Susie nodded, "So he's looking for a group of working ghosts."
Mitch remained silent.
Your explanation is not wrong either.
This evil ghost is not only cunning but also powerful. The most troublesome thing is that he's targeting Susie now.
He dares to target a bag of rice and even a little judge!
Mitch opened the book and looked at the new red text under Susie's name, his heart became heavy again...
