I stand in front of a mirror in the bathroom brushing my teeth before bedtime. I've seen terrible things today... Looks like I'll be having nightmares but at least some boy helped me... I wonder when can I meet the boy again... I guess I put some in my room and go to sleep. After I finished brushing, I bend down to the sink and rinse my teeth with water. I quickly dry my mouth and I immediately froze in place once again when I saw another monster standing beside me in the mirror.

Holding my breath, my brain begins to think of a way to escape the monster. Suddenly, I think of something.
"Ah... Ouch... My eye hurts... Something got in it..." I pretended. I slowly bend down to the sink once more and wash my face. Crap! Crap! Crap! There's no way! I must not react no matter what. Hang in there! Calm down... It's okay... It should be gone the next time I look, like those horror films.

I lift my head once again and I started to cry in fear a bit. It's still there! It's not going away. He keeps staring at me creepily but he unexpectedly phases through the left wall. I swiftly rush out the bathroom and kneel on the ground grasping for some air. The strength in my legs are none existence now.
After some time, I was able to get up and grabbed a pack of salt on the way to my bedroom. I pour the salt on a bowl and place it beside my bedroom's door. The salt is ready... Even if I see them again, they should disappear if I just ignore them. I'll be fine. My body is still shivering in fear. I lay down on my comfy bed and scroll through my phone searching exorcism. Hm? Prayer beads are good at warding off evil... Sigh~ I should go to sleep... By the time I lift up my blanket, my face became a blank. There's another monster under there.
"M...a...m...a...." Cried the child like monster. Slowly putting down my blanket, I lay down and look up the calling. The salt didn't work after all. What should I do? Do I have to endure this madness till sunrise... I just want a good night sleep... I'm really tired... Tears start to trail down my face because of my frustrations and triedness...

Suddenly, I realize something. Eh... Why don't I use the tailsman? I remember the boy said that you have to just place it at the monster and it will disappear. I slowly get up from my bed and search my bag. Here is it. I pick up the tailsman and slowly creep toward my bed. I immediately lift the blanket up and slap it onto the monster.
Quickly taking a few step back, I stare at him for a while and immediately he howled in pain just like the last monster. The same Wu Xing appears on him and he instantly burst into light ultimately vanished into thin air. I widen my eyes in shocked. It really works... It really works!! I jump onto my bed and just lay there. I can't believe it really works. Finally, a good night sleep...
It has been a long time that I had a good night sleep... I was able to sleep soundly. I was able to enjoy the crickets singing and the softness, the quiet and the sense of tranquil rest... I wondered when can I meet him again...
