Chapter 3, Inviting the Wolf into the House
She kept rambling on, as if she were a lunatic. At that moment, I felt as if she had immersed herself in her own world, and my body regained control.
The long-legged beauty first stared at me with wide eyes, then her gaze became somewhat evasive. After a moment of silence, she asked me, "Why are you not dead?"
What exactly does this woman do, how is she able to find me, and how is she able to enter my room directly
Are you really that capable? Why not just speak up at that moment instead of putting on a smile in front of me and then turning around to harm me?
I hurriedly nodded and said that I understood, understood
It was only when I rushed to the iron gate that I remembered I had just locked it from the inside.
Can she see it
He was translating something, casually speaking, when at that moment, a faint voice came from the doorway of the rental house's bathroom: "Of course, I brought them all back to life..."
I instinctively raised my head, only to see a pair of the woman's eyes glowing with a bright green light, resembling will-o'-the-wisps, which frightened me so much that I couldn't speak for a long time
I hid in the grocery store by the street, peering through the shelves to observe that woman, carefully pondering her intentions
I have encountered many fierce individuals in the past, some were ugly, some were fierce, some displayed an imposing demeanor, and some would draw their blades at the slightest disagreement, but I have never seen anyone who would kill over a mere disagreement
What happened? That woman wouldn't take advantage of my unconsciousness to plot something sinister and tarnish my reputation, would she
It is not a ghost
Alarm, alarm, alarm
Old Jin is somewhat puzzled, saying that everything has come to an end, so why are you looking for Officer He?
I agree
I must hurry to report to the police, otherwise, if this crazy woman goes on a rampage, I won't even know how I died
I grimaced in pain, yet she paid no attention, letting blood drip into the bowl, then biting through her middle finger to let her blood drip in as well
I hastily put on my clothes and felt around in the room at hetushucom.com, discovering that the money hidden in the cabinet and shoe boxes was all intact, and the company-issued phone was also there. If it weren't for the knife scars on my palm, I would have thought that what happened last night was just a dream
That woman
I see her demeanor, and I am a bit bewildered; no matter how I think about it, it seems impossible. Although I am not unattractive, the gap between me and this beauty is indeed too great. It is clear that we are not from the same family. What is she trying to do?
Old Jin said there is, do you want it
At first, I endured it, but unexpectedly, that person kept glancing at me for no reason, making me feel uneasy. Just as I was about to stand up and inquire with that individual, he unexpectedly approached me first.
The matter has passed just like that. Adhering to the principle of avoiding unnecessary trouble, I ultimately did not call the person with the square face.
The long-legged beauty extended her right hand and placed it on my neck
When I caught sight of that stunning and alluring woman, it was as if I had encountered a ferocious tiger with a gaping maw, ready to devour anyone in its path. By the time I regained my composure, I hurriedly sought refuge among the crowd
I took a deep breath, not wanting to involve Old Jin in this matter, and said to you, just give it to me, no need to worry about it.
The long-legged beauty heard me talking and coldly stared at me, saying, "Who are you calling sister? Do you know you are wrong?"
I live on the third floor. After opening the iron gate, I instinctively glanced at the hallway entrance before locking the door again. I didn't dare to turn on the light and felt my way to the bedside, where I found the charger plug to charge my phone. After waiting for a while, my phone was able to power on, and I hurriedly called Old Jin. The call connected, and I quickly said: "Old Jin, Old Jin, do you have Officer He’s contact information?"
I first let out a sigh of relief, and then immediately became tense again
To resort to poisoning and murder merely because of a bit of teasing, what a profound level of scheming this must be
Old Jin told me that there seems to be a misunderstanding here, supposedly related to a faked death. I do not understand what is discussed in there, and both the police and Old Ma's side are quite reticent and unwilling to talk. You should not ask too many questions either
But those are lives, four vibrant lives, gone just like that.
I raised my head and saw a familiar figure
I felt a sense of frustration in my heart. I had drunk three bottles of beer at the roadside stall at the village entrance, and I was somewhat tipsy. However, a call from Lao Jin brought me back to my senses. When I saw that long-legged beauty appear at the entrance of the alley near my rented room, I was completely stunned, feeling a tingling sensation all over my body, and I couldn't even move my feet.
I feel as if the other party has completely overturned my understanding of this world, trembling all over with tension, while that woman stared at the blood in the bowl for a while, shaking her head, saying, "No, no, how can it be like this? ... This is not scientific ..."
Thinking of this, I took advantage of the woman's moment of confusion to quickly get up from the ground and rush into the kitchen, hoping to grab my cooking knife, thinking that perhaps I could fight my way out. However, just as I made a leap, I felt a heavy blow to the back of my head, and I heard a "buzz" sound, followed by everything going black in front of me, and I lost consciousness.
This is ... ... blood recognition of kinship
Upon thinking of this, I do not know where the courage came from, but I felt the urge to resist. As a result, I pressed down on the back of that woman's neck, and my whole body went limp, unable to exert any strength. I then saw that woman half-squatting on the ground, examining me for quite a while.
Just as I was flustered and trying to open the door, that woman approached like a ghost, suddenly grabbing my shoulder with an icy touch. I lost sensation in half of my shoulder, and goosebumps began to rise in waves. I was truly terrified to the point of almost losing control. When I finally came to my senses, I realized I had fallen heavily to the ground, my back making a dull thud against the floor.
Her hands were icy cold to the bone, her nails painted red, sharp and long, resembling small daggers. For some reason, I was so frightened that I broke out in goosebumps, unable to do anything but speak the truth—perhaps it was because I had drunk too much, vomited out most of the poison, and was later sent to the hospital in time, thus escaping a calamity
I was stunned for a long time and said that it ran out of battery. What happened
It was at that moment that I caught the breath of that woman, warm and imbued with an indescribable fragrance
The woman who had just appeared at the mouth of the alley is now standing at the bathroom door, wearing a bright red chiffon dress. Her long, striking legs are positioned next to a window in the bathroom, and the dim light from outside casts an eerie white glow on her face, resembling a vengeful spirit seeking retribution for its grievances.
The bowl contained water, and she unexpectedly produced a sharp knife from somewhere. Before I could react, she had already cut my palm.
Old Jin said on the other end of the phone: "Sigh, this matter is quite complicated, and I am not very clear about it..."
Old Jin said you should come to the company. I have discussed the matter with Brother Tai, and he agrees that you can return to work. However, do not get involved with the Jin Xin factory matters; instead, go with Xiao Liu to E City.
Moreover, there are still four
Fortunately, that woman waited at the entrance of the alley for two minutes before leaving. I watched her depart and thought for a while, then took a detour and stealthily returned to the rented apartment.
I cannot understand; I want to see what is in the bowl, but the room is dark, and I cannot see anything.
I am beginning to understand why Lao Wu and the others are so obsessed
A cacophony of noise came from the other end of the phone; it was evident that Old Jin was rummaging through his backpack. I hurriedly asked, "By the way, didn't Old Ma and the others die that day? The police said so. How come you say they are alive again? What on earth is going on?"
I was filled with questions, and after the woman scrutinized me for a while, she asked, "You... are Hou Mo?"
Bang
After that incident, I worked for two days, and after work, I was busy organizing the move. As a result, I had not found a house yet when I was dispatched to E City. I worked hard for three days, but ultimately, it did not succeed; the client was upset. Xiao Liu and I ended up looking disheveled, and when the company found out, we received a scolding and were told to return immediately
After a while, I came to my senses, surveyed my surroundings, and felt that there should be no such matter. Yet, I also felt quite gloomy, as that inexplicable little expectation had fallen through.
Is she a ghost or a human after all
She was muttering words that I could not understand at the time, and after a while, she unexpectedly threw me to the ground and went to my kitchen to find a bowl
At that moment, I was truly anxious, with only one thought occupying my mind
I was at a loss for words, lifted my head, and exchanged a glance with that woman. I caught sight of her radiant, fair face and her full, delicate red lips. The first thought that flashed through my mind was surprisingly not fear, but rather: if such a beautiful woman were to spend a night with me, even if I were to die afterward, it would be worth it
By the time I woke up, it was already broad daylight
Although I am afraid in my heart, I do not want to lose face, so I mustered the courage to say: "Yes, it is I—this elder sister. We have no grievances from the past, nor enmity in recent days. Although we met by chance, I have offended you, but there is no need to pursue me to the ends of the earth, is there? That day was my fault, and I apologize to you. I am sorry, is that acceptable?"
She scrutinized me carefully, and after a while, suddenly said: "Unless, unless... you are one of us?"
What kind of person would do something like this
After listening to my account, the tall and beautiful woman furrowed her brows and said with some confusion: "It’s impossible. The life-and-death flower of Weichi, as long as one comes into contact with it, even if one vomits it out immediately or undergoes gastric lavage, one still has to go through a death tribulation, right? No, that’s not right..."
The long-legged beauty said to lift up your head
We did not dare to linger and hurried to the long-distance bus station in Echeng to buy tickets. The long-distance bus station at that time was nothing compared to now; it was dilapidated. We waited in the waiting hall, and for some reason, I always felt that a man diagonally across from me was watching me
I was quite pleased, and it was only when I was about to hang up the phone that I remembered to ask about Lao Ma and the others
I lay in bed, seeing the sunlight streaming in through the window, feeling dazed for quite a while before recalling yesterday's events. I hurriedly got up, only to discover that the surface beneath me was chilly. Looking down, I was shocked to find that I was wearing nothing but an empty pair of pants, leaving me pale with fright.
The sound is very faint, yet in the dark room, it appears remarkably clear
While I was recharging my phone, Lao Jin called and asked me what happened yesterday, as he kept getting disconnected.
I stood there for three seconds, and a large patch of white sweat appeared on my back
With such a fall, the person regained their senses, thinking to themselves, regardless of whether you are human or ghost, I am a dignified man of seven feet tall, why should I fear a mere woman like you
The moment I caught sight of that woman, it felt as though my heart had been suddenly gripped by someone, nearly stopping its beat. In the next second, I hung up the phone and rushed towards the door
I was taken aback for a moment and said, "Ah, I..."
Ah, comrade, have you offended someone? Why are you so unlucky?
