Quick Transmigration: Goddess Of My Imagination

Chapter 315: Midnight Horror

Chapter 315: Midnight Horror

On a rather cold night, Elysia woke up from her sleep at a call from nature. She glanced at her friends then got up from the bed silently so as not to wake anyone.

Vanessa, who was lying on her master's tummy, only opened her eyes slightly then closed them again after her master stroked her body. Her master got a few necessities in the bathroom.

After placing the white cat on the bed, Elysia rushed to the bathroom with a silent step.

She forgot to do bathroom affairs before bed because Evelyn urged her to go to bed right away.

'Sigh... I can get rid of my urine with my magic, so I don't have to pee anymore. And here I am, still using the natural way. Why am I still doing this, hmm?' Elysia wondered about the ridiculous thing in her mind.

She knew that she didn't need to do things like fulfill the call of nature, take a shower, brush her teeth, and so on. Her imagination magic could accomplish many things.

Yet, if she had no particular reason or cause, she wouldn't use her magic for such a thing. It was done to clear her conscience and convince herself only.

Elysia just shook her head then took care of her necessities. She wasn't too embarrassed by herself as a girl anymore. As long as she wasn't being teased, of course.

Done with bathroom affairs, Elysia went to the large mirror near the sink. She washed her hands clean and then moisturized her face a little with warm water.

When Elysia straightened her back again to see her reflection in the mirror, she was utterly surprised that someone was present behind her.

'!!!' Elysia screamed internally. She entered the bathroom alone, then the one behind her was none other than a ghost?

With a hint of panic and a mixture of horror, Elysia immediately turned around.

Unfortunately, the ghost was no longer there. The panicked girl scanned every corner of the bathroom warily, but she didn't find anything out of the ordinary.

'Who was that pale black-haired girl? Is that really a ghost? Gulp... Oh Gods and Goddesses in heaven, please bless your graces and protect me from the harassment of ghosts.' Elysia was feeling a little uneasy and scared. Still, she convinced herself to see her reflection in the mirror one more time. Nevertheless, there was no one but her reflection.

Elysia tried to see every corner of the room through the reflection in the mirror. The ceiling was not overlooked. Unfortunately, she once again failed to find the existence of the ghost that had surprised her earlier.

'Is it just my hallucination?' Elysia scratched her head in confusion.

As Elysia was about to go out, she heard the sound of the outside door that had just closed.

'Eh? Wait, someone came out of the room? Or, what if someone barged in? It's locked, right? Oh geez, I should have put up a barrier in this room. I forgot, stupid Ely.' Elysia smacked her head lightly, and she rushed out of the bathroom to check on her friends.

'Huh? Ella and Vanessa are still in the bed, so the one who came out was Evelyn? No one has infiltrated. Phew, thank goodness...' Elysia breathed a sigh of relief while stroking her upper chest.

'Is Evelyn delirious or sleepwalking? Forget it, let's bring her back.' Elysia shook her head and immediately used her advanced perception. Evelyn was walking down the corridor. It was quite risky to leave someone sleepwalking just like that.

After putting up a barrier in the room, Elysia used light steps to catch up to Evelyn, who was already far enough.

As soon as Elysia reached Evelyn, she immediately held the sleepwalking girl's arm. "Eve, can you hear me? Where are you going in the middle of the night like this?"

To her surprise, Evelyn, who she thought was sleepwalking, was not like that.

Evelyn turned around with an utterly shocked expression. "E-Ely? Why did you get behind me all of a sudden? I'm sure that I was following you earlier."

"Me? I came for you. Hm, this is weird, Eve. It's not me. I just got out of the bathroom." Elysia furrowed her brows and shook her head. She felt something strange was happening, like a ghost or some other supernatural thing.

"Then, then... Who did I follow just now? I thought you were sneaking out, Ely. I wanted to find out where you were going." Evelyn's eyes widened upon realization. She was fully conscious now, and she was starting to get scared.

Hearing that, Elysia looked left and right, then in various other directions to find out anything suspicious or anything.

That ghost was an incredibly pale woman with long black hair in a white dress and her face partially covered by hair. That figure was still vivid in Elysia's mind. Most likely, it was a ghost who was bothering them.

Elysia used her advanced perception and sacred vision without hesitation. She was worried and felt cold because she was also pretty scared like Evelyn.

"So-so... Did I follow a ghost? E-Ely, let's go back." Evelyn trembled slightly. Her body went cold with dread. She grabbed her best friend's arm tightly for reassurance.

Elysia looked several more times to the dim light corridor's two sides and narrowed her eyes slightly. She found the ghost in question descending the stairs.

Then, the ghost was no longer within her monitoring range.

"Yeah, let's go back to our room, Eve." Elysia nodded lightly. She no longer used her sacred vision, but her advanced perception was still standby to inspect anything within a 200-meter radius, just in case.

Evelyn didn't even notice her best friend's eyes glowing for a moment. Then, Elysia led Evelyn back to their room. On the way, Evelyn dared not look anywhere but the front. She imagined some mystical and horror things in her mind.

After entering their room, Elysia patched the protective barrier at the door. She led the girl who was holding her arm tightly towards the sofa, and they sat there.

Elysia took a deep breath and let out a soft sigh, trying to calm herself down. She decided not to go after the suspicious woman whom she thought was a ghost for several reasons.

"Eve, we're safe here. Can you tell me what's going on from your point of view?" Elysia held Evelyn's cold hands to give them warmth.

Evelyn's face was still a little pale. She left her train of thought to glance at her best friend's face. Elysia was warm and smiled softly at her.

Shortly afterward, the girl who felt quite secure immediately poured out what she knew in the last few minutes.

Evelyn woke up because Elysia was absent from her side. As her eyes opened, she saw a girl with long black hair walking toward the bedroom door.

Evelyn was still half-conscious at the time and thought Elysia was sneaking away. Strangely, when she tried to call, she didn't get any response.

Feeling something was wrong, Evelyn, who was still in a state of confusion, immediately followed. She even unlocked the door and left the room without thinking about how her best friend could come out without a sound.

"I only know until there, Ely. Terrible, was it a ghost who tried to kidnap me? To eat me?" Evelyn leaned her body to her best friend to eliminate the distance between them.

"I see... I also saw that ghostly figure in the bathroom. She suddenly appeared behind me when I was looking in the mirror. But, she disappeared instantly. What's going on?" Elysia glanced up thoughtfully.

Just as Elysia was thinking and wanted to move on to a few things, Evelyn immediately interrupted it all with a sense of crunch.

"Ely, let's request a favor to the protectors in the next room. I'm scared." Evelyn glanced left and right, making sure there weren't any ghosts around.

In retrospect, she was brave enough to walk alone in the dimly lit corridor. But that was what scared her so much when she thought about it again.

"It's okay, Eve. We don't have to bother them. I've put up a protective barrier in this room. If you trust me, please rest assured we're safe here.

I assumed that earlier was a ghost with no malicious intent. Apparently, that ghost just wants to guide us somewhere. We'll tell your parents and others about this event when morning comes, okay?" Elysia tried to reassure her friend with confidence.

Evelyn recalled the last few events, then nodded like an obedient girl. She had no doubts about her best friend, who was also a Goddess disciple. However, it wasn't that simple.

"En, but let's go to bed. I want to hide under the blanket." Evelyn tugged at her best friend's hand.

"Sure. You're in the middle again, Eve." Elysia had no objection whatsoever. Then, they went to bed and hid together under the blanket. Ella and Vanessa were also involved, like it or not.

Elysia glanced at the girl who was hugging her body, then towards the bedroom door. The ghost didn't return to bother them, much relief for her. She wished any type of ghosts were unable to break through the protective barrier she had put up.

"Enng..." Evelyn changed her position slightly and buried her face in her best friend's shoulder. It was hard for her to get back to sleep.

Meanwhile, Elysia gently stroked Evelyn's hair with her hand, which Evelyn treated as a pillow. She also used subtle magic to make the atmosphere warm and cozy. Evelyn fell asleep in comfort a moment later.

Well, it also didn't take long for Elysia to fall asleep as she watched the bedroom door.
