However, just as Jane Sterling was about to open the door and go downstairs to investigate, the sound abruptly stopped.
The sudden quiet sent goosebumps prickling across Jane's skin.
She had been through this several times already, but Jane still couldn't help but tremble.
After wrestling with the decision, she finally decided to go downstairs and take a look.
She slowly pushed open her bedroom door, the light from her room illuminating a corner of the pitch-black staircase.
The entire shipping station had two floors. The first was a general storage area, while the second was a small loft that served as Jane's room.
The station had been abandoned for a long time before this, so the stairs were still made of wood, creaking with every step.
In the dead of night, the sound was especially unnerving.
Aside from the light spilling from Jane's room, it was the only source of brightness in the entire dark space.
