Chapter 8, done

Zhang Chen propped himself up with both hands from the blood-soaked ground, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood, clearly having sustained serious injuries

It is indeed hollow. Zhang Chen did not hesitate to punch the wall on the right side of the restroom.

There is one more thing you may not know; shortly after your sister moved back to her hometown, she hanged herself.

Finally accomplished, Zhang Chen collapsed exhausted on the ground

Suddenly, a bloodied hand emerged from the blood pool and grasped Zhang Chen's right leg. If an ordinary person had been pulled like this, they would have certainly been dragged in. However, Zhang Chen's limbs had been enhanced, allowing him to stand firm.

Now, with such a complex murder case, how can I analyze it step by step? Am I naturally suited to be a detective? Perhaps if I study hard, I could achieve good results, and maybe then Wang Banhua would have a favorable impression of me. Zhang Chen thought to himself while laughing, seemingly forgetting for a moment how terrifying things would be when he returned home

However, with her constantly hiding like this, how can I get her out? Although Zhang Chen was aware of the female ghost's abilities, the most significant challenge remained: how to bring the female ghost out. Zhang Chen pondered for a long time but could not come up with an answer.

The little creature has not shown itself since it hid the night before last, presumably because it sensed something threatening about me, just like Wen Juan. Thinking of this, Zhang Chen could not help but recall the moment in the morning when he bit off the right arm of the female ghost

This thing is indeed cautious, it seems I have no choice but to provoke them a little

Indeed, there is a solution now. Zhang Chen instantly realized how to respond upon seeing the wall that had been dented from the impact.

It was just the sound of knocking on the wall last night, which I fear will be even more difficult to handle than this morning's 'Wenjuan'. I am not sure if I can get into that state. I must resolve this matter when I return this afternoon; otherwise, it will be troublesome when my parents come back.

Recalling the scene in which the female ghost killed Grandma Yu in the morning, Zhang Chen did not want to involve his parents, as any unforeseen circumstances would be irreparable

If it were an ordinary youth or even an adult, they might exert all their strength and still perish here. However, Zhang Chen, with a forceful effort, instantly broke through this invisible power with his right arm, leaning to the right as the flying infant bit into his left arm

Just as the female ghost let out a piercing scream, Zhang Chen attempted to take a bite, only to be struck in the chest by an invisible force, sending him flying outwards

If they do not come out, then I will have no choice but to resort to this method. However, this can only be effective if my entire reasoning is correct. After thinking this through, Zhang Chen closed his eyes and began to connect all the events, continuously organizing his thoughts in his mental sanctuary, persistently searching for the problem, and finally struck his left fist against his right palm.

Zhang Chen, still in shock from the rollover, found himself slumped on the ground, his left arm crashing against the earth, causing him excruciating pain that nearly made him faint. However, a scene of utter despair unfolded before him: the baby with a fractured skull actually moved, kicking off the ground and lunging towards Zhang Chen.

It seems I was right," Zhang Chenchen said, remaining calm as he continued.

Upon returning home, Zhang Chen directly took the small stool from the living room into the bathroom, took a deep breath, slowly closed the door, and sat down.

Zhang Chen could no longer manage the pain in his left arm and suddenly rolled to the left. As expected, at the moment Zhang Chen jumped away, the wall where he had been standing appeared to have been struck violently, deeply caving in.

"If this continues, I will die!" Zhang Chen struggled to stand up, watching as half of the invisible force's attack was evaded, while the other half struck the wall in front of him, causing some debris to fall into the blood.

Zhang Chen also noticed a detail: the infant's abdomen seemed to bear the face of a man, with an expression of great anguish as if enduring torment akin to that of hell. Zhang Chen did not let his guard down, for in addition to the small infant, there was also a "Wen Jing" present.

As soon as this sentence was finished, the glass on the washstand suddenly flew up and crashed against the wall, shattering into pieces. Then the second and third glasses also flew up, colliding chaotically and breaking into shards that fell to the ground. Subsequently, the bathroom window seemed to be covered by something, and darkness enveloped the entire room

Suddenly, the lights stopped flickering. The debris flying everywhere also fell to the ground. However, the talisman paper thrown against the wall floated up, paused for a second, and then was instantly torn to shreds.

"Wen Jing!" Zhang Chen suddenly shouted, and instantly the temperature in the bathroom dropped by 3 to 4 °C, but there were no other abnormalities.

The infant, unable to react in time, fell directly into Zhang Chen's mouth and was never able to escape. Subsequently, new flesh began to grow rapidly on Zhang Chen's left arm

Stay calm, grip the bloody hand with both hands, use the strength of the waist to pull sideways, and suddenly yank this female ghost out of the blood pool, directly slamming her hard against the large glass of the washstand.

With a loud bang, the wall was breached. Following that, several more punches landed, leaving Zhang Chen's hands covered in blood, yet a large hole was made in the wall, revealing a skeleton inside.

Wen Jing, do you think you have treated your sister well? When you were young, you were uneducated and made your sister worry not only about her studies but also about you. As you grew up, you were unable to earn money, and your sister had to give part of her earnings not only to support our mother but also to help you make ends meet. You have no home, so you came to your sister's house, and she kindly took you in, yet you took away the man she loved the most, pushing her life to the brink.

"Damn, it hurts!" Zhang Chen's left hand had already lost all sensation. Just as he was about to use his right hand to cover the wound, suddenly, the right hand of the long-haired female ghost in the corner of the wall moved slightly, and he immediately felt an extremely dangerous aura.

Without your sister, you would not have survived to this day. Your sister treats you this way, yet you are forcing her into a corner. Is this what you call being a younger sister? This is shamelessness. The sound of knocking on the wall began to quicken, as if something inside wanted to crawl out, while the baby's cries from the bathroom echoed once more

There is one more thing, your mother seems to want to keep your sister as a living corpse, but I have killed your sister." After saying this, he casually threw the talisman paper beside the toilet, which was also the location where the sound of knocking on the wall came from.

"I don't want to die, I don't want to die!" Zhang Chen kept shouting in his heart. However, an unexpected change occurred. Just as the sharp teeth of the infant were about to reach him, a cry of "I don't want to die" escaped from Zhang Chen's lips. In an instant, his mouth grew enormous, resembling the size it had when it devoured "Wen Juan," but this time it was different as Zhang Chen himself had opened his mouth.

The long-haired woman in the corner clearly did not expect things to turn out this way. Watching the baby being devoured by Zhang Chen, her long hair flew wildly. Upon closer inspection, her eyes were surprisingly hollow, devoid of anything, only a profound darkness remained.

At this moment, the lights on the ceiling also began to flicker irregularly, creating a very eerie atmosphere. If it were an ordinary person, they would have likely been so frightened that they lost all awareness. However, Zhang Chen at this moment was highly focused, observing everything that was happening inside the bathroom

I did not expect Master Pu Hu to have this experience. Regardless of whether I encounter a person or a ghost, at least the master has been very good to me. Well, let's first resolve the current matter before discussing anything else

An invisible yet immense force suddenly acted upon Zhang Chen's body, causing him, who was originally seated, to be instantly subdued by this power, as if he were being controlled by something, and was pulled against the wall behind him, his entire body forming a large character, appearing utterly at the mercy of others

Zhang Chen still had a glimmer of consciousness, watching the baby pounce towards him, with fangs resembling the scythe of death aimed directly at his head

Grass, this time it is from behind. Zhang Chen clenched his fists tightly and exerted all his strength to move to the right, but the distance was too close. A force struck Zhang Chen's left waist, causing his entire body to be thrown into the air, spinning twice before landing in the pool of blood

Damn it, this guy is too despicable, even learning from Chairman Mao to engage in guerrilla warfare with me," Zhang Chen gritted his teeth, struggling to come up with a countermeasure. Suddenly, an overwhelming sense of danger surged into Zhang Chen's mind

"I've been waiting for you" Zhang Chen shouted angrily, turning his hand to grasp the female ghost's wrists. As he opened his mouth, it astonishingly extended to half a meter in length, swallowing the female ghost whole. In an instant, the blood receded, and the bathroom returned to its original state

The 15-centimeter-long sharp tooth instantly pierced Zhang Chen's left forearm, and intense pain transmitted to the brain. However, with a glimmer of consciousness, Zhang Chen's right hand grasped the baby that was biting into his left arm, and with a strong pull, he tore it away along with a piece of his own flesh.

Unbalanced, Zhang Chen struggled as the infant leaped directly towards him, its sharp teeth aimed at the carotid artery in his neck. In contrast, Zhang Chen, seeing the infant pouncing towards him, exerted all his strength in an attempt to break free from this invisible force

After Zhang Chen finished eating, he noticed this anomaly; it seemed that the female ghost dared not approach him again. "What is she waiting for? Oh..." Just as Zhang Chen realized this, he sensed danger and immediately rolled to the right. Sure enough, the wall where he had been standing was once again dented in.

Zhang Chenchen remained calm, with his mind intensely focused, ready to evade anything that might suddenly emerge.

The female ghost was clearly not of the same type as "Wen Juan"; it suddenly vanished into the wall, and the entire bathroom wall began to ooze strands of fresh blood, which soon transformed into a hell of blood.

So that's how it is, this female ghost seems to possess abilities similar to telekinesis, but after using it once, there is a long cooldown period. Zhang Chen thought to himself that if there were no cooldown time and it could be used continuously, he would probably have been shattered to pieces long ago

It still feels so uncomfortable, as if I have been exposed to cold air

"Destroy your true self and see if you can come out," Zhang Chen pulled out the white bones from the wall, gripping the crown of the head, intending to crush it. At that moment, blood surged up, rolling towards Zhang Chen, while a pair of hands reached out from the water, tightly gripping Zhang Chen's neck.

I recall that during my childhood, my family was very poor, living in a small bungalow in the village. My parents would leave early and return late, yet they never forgot to ensure that I had milk to drink every day. Despite their meager income, they always managed to scrape together enough money for my education. While I wore clothes that were several years old, they made sure to buy nice new clothes for my son

Ah... the sharp scream echoed throughout the entire bathroom. Zhang Chen was not affected; knowing this was a perfect opportunity, he immediately opened his mouth wide and bit towards the female ghost, directly tearing off her right leg.

Zhang Chen's left arm has already healed. As he stood up and looked down, he saw that the blood had already soaked up to his calf, and he couldn't help but swallow.

He had been sitting like this for half an hour, and there was still no sign of anything unusual in the bathroom. Zhang Chen glanced at his phone; it was already 3:12 PM.

The female ghost, who had lost her right leg, slowly merged into the wall. Zhang Chen felt that the previous blow seemed to have broken several of his ribs, but despite the pain, he gritted his teeth and grabbed the right leg of the female ghost that had fallen not far from him, beginning to eat it voraciously. Before long, his injuries began to heal, and during this time, the female ghost remained completely still.

The sound of knocking on the wall echoed, "Dong dong dong ... ... dong dong dong ... ..."

"Why can't I return to the previous state this time? It hurts so much, my left hand is useless now." Zhang Chen grabbed the baby with his right hand and forcefully slammed it against the wall, unexpectedly cracking the baby's skull. He then casually threw it towards the opposite side, and this throw actually caused the wall to dent in.

In pain, he walked step by step towards the restroom, squatted down, and tapped on the wall with his hand, producing a series of echoes

Zhang Chen sat in the car on the way home, holding the blood-stained paper he had taken from Wen Juan's mouth, lost in thought

A bloated, decayed little hand reached out from the toilet, followed by a face that was as rotten as before, with teeth measuring a full 15 centimeters in length. Beside the infant stood a long-haired woman, her hair obscuring her features in the front.

With a loud bang, Zhang Chen crashed heavily against the wall behind him, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood

It seems that the fact that this "quiet" woman's son was eaten by me has made her very angry. With her being so absorbed in the wall, I have no way to deal with it at all

"Why isn't it out yet?" At this moment, Zhang Chen was also a bit anxious, "Forget it, this is the only way." Zhang Chen took out the talisman paper that he had obtained from Wen Juan's mouth.

Well, this matter is not a big problem anymore, but I can't help but feel that my own changes are so significant. In the past, even a Chinese language question, such as "What thoughts and feelings can you associate with the author's use of the blue curtain in the text?" I wouldn't even think about it, and even if I did, I wouldn't be able to answer correctly

A terrifying wail emanated from the infant's mouth, as the already fractured skull suffered a second blow, causing the entire brain to split open, clearly exposing the brain outside, lying motionless on the ground, as if it had lost all ability to move
