Lycoris recoiled in fear as she heard the loud crash coming from the dark basement. She knew she shouldn't have ventured down there alone, but her curiosity got the better of her.The sound of shuffling footsteps echoed through the empty space, causing her heart to race with fear. She could feel the hair on the back of her neck stand on end, a cold chill running down her spine.As she turned to run back up the stairs, a shadowy figure emerged from the darkness, causing her to freeze in terror. The figure seemed to be watching her, its eyes glinting in the dim light.With a sudden burst of courage, Lycoris mustered up all her strength and let out a piercing scream, hoping to scare off whatever was lurking in the shadows. But the figure only inched closer, its twisted form sending a shiver down her spine.In a moment of desperation, Lycoris dashed up the stairs and slammed the basement door shut, panting heavily as she leaned against it. She prayed that whatever was down there would stay there, hidden in the darkness where it belonged.From that day on, Lycoris never dared to venture into the basement again, the memory of the shadowy figure still haunting her dreams.
