Luo Jingyan glanced at her watch; it was only 11:20. She might have to wait another 20 or 30 minutes. She closed the door, turned off the flashlight, held it in her hand, and took out a Halloween mask and long fingernails from her spatial storage. She put them on her face and fingers, then sat on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed) with her back to the door.

Only about ten minutes later, the door behind her creaked open, followed by footsteps.

After Lai Chunming entered, he lowered his voice and asked, "Is anyone here?"

He arrived early because he couldn't wait, and he wondered if Luo Jingyan was just as anxious.

Since he couldn't hear any sound, he assumed there was no one else in the room but him, and could only wait for Luo Jingyan with a sense of frustration.

He carried a flashlight with him, turned it on and shone it into the house. To his surprise, he found a woman sitting on the earthen bed. From behind, her figure looked a lot like Luo Jingyan. He was so excited that he couldn't help but rub his hands together.

"Luo, Luo Zhiqing, it turns out you arrived even earlier than me. Looks like you're also eager to do 'that' with me."

Luo Jingyan didn't say anything. He turned around and locked the door, then slowly walked towards her, his voice filled with barely suppressed excitement: "Luo Jingyan, I've come to find you."

He turned off his flashlight and put it in his pocket, because doing it in the dark was more exciting.

He walked step by step toward Luo Jingyan, his footsteps crunching crisply on the tangled thatch on the ground.

At that moment, Luo Jingyan suddenly turned around, held the flashlight in her hand to her chin, and quickly pressed the flashlight switch.

When the flashlight beam came on, the light shone on Luo Jingyan's mask, creating a bizarre scene.

At the same time, Lai Chunming saw a pale, ugly, and extremely strange and terrifying face, somewhat resembling a skull, which frightened him so much that he screamed.

So terrified, he even forgot to back away. When he finally tried to back away, he found that his legs were weak and he was trembling all over. He finally couldn't hold on and collapsed to the ground.

If the room hadn't been so dark, Luo Jingyan would have seen his pale, terrified face.

His lips trembled, his teeth chattered, his voice shook, and his tongue seemed to be tied in knots.

"Who, who are you? And why are you here?"

Luo Jingyan stood up and said in an extremely eerie voice, "You should know who I am. Lai Chunming, you threatened me to sleep with you, got me pregnant with your child, and then you plotted to have Lai Zi rape me, forcing me to jump into the river. Heh, Lai Chunming, you are truly despicable and shameless. I'm here today specifically to take your life. My child and I died unjustly. I want you to be buried with me and my child, and drag you down to hell with me."

Lai Chunming was so scared he almost lost his soul. He suddenly thought of the woman he had once played with and then abandoned to Lai Zi.

"Zhang, you're Zhang, the educated youth."

The other party now had a completely ghostly face, and he couldn't see any trace of Zhang Ziyue's appearance when she was alive. It was the first time he had ever seen a ghost, and he realized that ghosts really could look so ugly.

He didn't want to die, fearing that the ghost would take him away, so he begged the ghost for mercy: "Zhang, Zhang Zhiqing, I didn't mean to harm you. It was Lai Zi who wanted your body and defiled you. You should go and take your life from him, not me."

"Hmph, you think I don't know? To get rid of me, you tricked me into coming here that night. I thought it would be you, but it was Lai Zi. You must have sent him. Lai Chunming, from the moment I arrived here, you threatened to take advantage of me, and I gave in. You didn't use a condom when you did those things, and when I got pregnant, you thought I was a nuisance and would affect you, so you plotted to have Lai Zi sleep with me. Lai Chunming, I'm going to kill you today."

In fact, Luo Jingyan was not clear about the details; many of the things in it were fabricated by her.

But one thing is undeniable: Lai Chunming is a despicable person, and he must be taught a lesson.

She reached out, revealing long red fingernails, and swung them toward Lai Chunming's face.

"Lai Chunming, give me back my life and my child's life."

Just as her fingernails were about to poke Lai Chunming's face, Lai Chunming suddenly staggered to his feet, turned around and ran towards the door. However, how could Luo Jingyan allow him to escape?

She was behind him, gripping his shoulders and pulling him back, continuing to extend her claws towards him.

"Lai Chunming, you can't escape. I will make you pay for my life and the life of my dead child. This day next year will be your death anniversary."

Lai Chunming trembled all over. "Zhang Zhiqing, Zi, Ziyue, please let me go, please let me go. I will burn paper money for you and set out offerings for you every year from now on. Please don't kill me."

"Impossible, you must pay with your life."

Lai Chunming was so frightened that he didn't even have the strength to run away. He started to lose his mind and clutched his head in pain, crying, "No, don't kill me, Zhang Zhiqing, please let me go, don't kill me."

Luo Jingyan raised her foot and kicked him in the head. His head buzzed, and he fell to the ground.

He kept repeating, "Don't kill me, don't kill me."

Luo Jingyan raised her foot again and kicked the part of him that he used to commit his evil deeds, ensuring that he would never be able to get an erection again for the rest of his life.

Lai Chunming screamed desperately and cried out, "Zhang Zhiqing, Zhang Zhiqing, I know I was wrong, please let me go, please let me go."

"Let you go? No way! I'll never let you go for the rest of my life. I'll torture you to death, beat you every day, pull out your tendons, peel off your skin, and make you wish you were dead."

Lai Chunming cried with snot and tears streaming down his face, repeatedly muttering, "Let me go, Zhang Zhiqing. I shouldn't have forced you, I shouldn't have let you get pregnant and then dumped you on Lai Zi. I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong!"

Luo Jingyan then used an electric light and a ghost face to scare him, which made him jump up from the ground and crash into the wall.

"Zhang Zhiqing, please don't take my life. I promise, I promise I will never harm you again."

Luo Jingyan walked up to him and lifted her mask: "Lai Chunming, look who I am."

Little did he know, the face beneath the mask was even more terrifying than the mask itself. This time, Lai Chunming couldn't even utter a sound; he could only stare wide-eyed at the hideous face before him.

Several minutes passed, and Lai Chunming's hands and feet grew colder and colder. Countless images flashed through his mind, some of which had happened before, and some of which he had imagined, playing out frame by frame. Then, those images suddenly became chaotic, and his ears were filled with terrifying, eerie, and disordered sounds.

Suddenly, a strange expression appeared on his face, and he chuckled foolishly. He raised his arm and bit his arm hard, causing blood to gush from the wound.

Then, he suddenly dodged to the side and thumped in the air, saying, "Don't bite me, don't bite me, I'm afraid of pain, please, Zhang Zhiqing, don't bite me... I won't bite you, of course I will, who told you to hurt me and my child so badly, I'm going to bite you, I'll bite you to death." He suddenly bit his other arm.

Then came his neurotic voice: "I'll bite you to death, I'll bite you to death, this is your punishment, your retribution for hurting me."
