In recent years, a brand-new urban legend has emerged in Yingzhou—
—Ghostly Footsteps.
The first officially recorded victim was a corporate drone. One night, on his way home from work, he suddenly heard footsteps behind him. He turned around, but saw no one. When he started walking again, the footsteps returned.
The man turned around again, but there was still nothing there. After a moment's thought, he called the police and described the strange situation he was in. As someone living in Yingzhou, a place where urban legends flew thick and fast—and over fifty percent of them were real Extraordinary events—it was natural to be a little on edge.
It turned out the man's caution was justified, but it wasn't enough to save his life. Midway through his call with the police, he went silent. On the other end of the line, the operator heard the sharp CRACK of breaking bones, followed by the thud of a body and a phone hitting the ground.
