【Small Novel】Strange Sound at Midnight

Have you ever heard that if you hear someone calling your name while walking down the street at midnight, don't look back? otherwise……

No one knows what they will see when they look back. Those who knew never came back.

This is a legend I heard in elementary school. All my classmates and I are convinced of this legend. At that time, I was terrified, not to mention midnight, as long as it was dark, I would not look back no matter what.

Of course, as I grew up, I had forgotten this well-established legend at the time.

But now I am reminded of this legend because of the circumstances I am in at the moment. The time is twelve midnight. I'm going home, walking down a deserted street. That's for sure, there's no one on the street but me. However, in this midnight street, in addition to my footsteps, there are cluttered footsteps, panting and laughter.

I patted my chest and told myself not to scare myself. I slowed down and my voice started to blur, as if a group of people were talking behind me, but I couldn't make out what was being said. I simply stopped, and the voice behind me stopped abruptly. I turned around and there was no one around.

I exhale secretly. But as soon as I took a step, the sound came again, like a party.

I was so scared that my legs were sore, I couldn't stand, and I lay on the ground.

There was a sound of gasping in my ears, as if blowing right next to me. I shivered. Now I really want to go home, but I can only crawl on the ground and can't get up quickly. I was stiff all over.

I remembered that legend again and cried out in fear.

Never call me by my name. I pray in my heart. Hail Mary. Tathagata Buddha. Whatever, please be merciful and save me.

Suddenly, a voice from behind called my name clearly and clearly. I screamed in fear. However, there is no sound. I can't make any sound.

I dare not look back, and in fact I can't. I can't move at all. Like a horror movie, there was a hand clapping my shoulder. I can even imagine what I'll see when I look back.

More and more voices are calling my name.

Help! Is there anyone who can save me!
