Chapter 20
"I saw it too!" My words echoed in the empty hospital, and the bright incandescent light flashed.
The four of us were silent for a long time.
We thought we would be safe after escaping from Eshan, but we didn't expect that the shadow of death was still around us.
"I want to go to the bathroom." Zheng Yunyun looked at me and said.
So, I went to the bathroom with her.
It’s not her fault that she’s timid. After all, we’ve been through so much along the way and we were already very nervous.
I waited for her at the bathroom door.
Unexpectedly, not long after she went in, the innermost bathroom door suddenly opened by itself. Then I saw a bloody hand stretched out, and before I could scream, I saw a head rolling out.
It was in an upside-down position, with blood flowing from its eyes. What was even more bizarre was that inside its eyes were not eyeballs, but two ghost-faced moths!
"Squeak." Zheng Yunyun came out of the compartment. She seemed not to have seen the head at all. At this moment, the head disappeared.
If a series of accidental events occur, it means that none of these things are accidental.
When I returned to the family waiting area, I didn't tell anyone what I had just seen.
We waited like this all night, and it was almost dawn when we heard from the operating room that we were asked to push the patient to the ward.
As we pushed him to the ward, Li Bin smiled faintly all the way.
This condition continued until he fully recovered.
After being delayed on the road for so many days, I really want to go home as soon as possible.
This time, nothing strange happened along the way and we returned to YT City safely.
After saying goodbye to them, I returned home exhausted and lay down on the bed.
However, before the shadow of the Eshan trip had dissipated, I was caught up in another matter.
It wasn't until I came back from the bakery in the evening that I remembered that there was a ghost in the apartment where I lived.
I was bathing, my warding beads resting on the shower rack. Water from the showerhead poured over my head, filling the bathroom with moist steam. I poured shampoo into my hands and closed my eyes to wash my hair.
As soon as I closed my eyes, the red-dressed ghost appeared in my mind. The more I thought about it, the more I felt that she was right above my head, her hair dripping with water, falling on mine. The more I thought about it, the more scared I became. I quickly rinsed the shampoo out of my hair and tried to open my eyes.
However, as soon as I finished rinsing the shampoo, I opened my eyes.
I was alone in the bathroom.
I quickly dried myself, changed into pajamas, lay on the bed, opened my laptop, and searched for "Xinyuefu burial case".
Looking at the reports, some blurry photos of the scene, and various rumors, I fell into deep thought.
The whole incident was like this. At that time, Xinyue Mansion had just been completed for less than two years and was being widely publicized. Unexpectedly, a young couple who had just bought a house, the woman suddenly jumped from the eleventh floor in her red pajamas. This scene happened to be captured by the live broadcast camera.
The woman died on the spot. Her husband was at work at the company at the time. When he came back and saw that his wife was dead, he burst into tears.
This was just the beginning. Later, when expanding the underground garage, workers found a female corpse. The corpse had already rotted, but the clothes she was wearing were exactly the same as those of the woman who jumped from the building that year.
Everyone thought that the two incidents must be related and wanted to find the husband of the woman who jumped from the building to find out what happened, but they found that the man had disappeared long ago.
So a rumor spread on the Internet that the husband killed his wife because she cheated on him, and the female corpse behind was the woman his husband cheated on her with. However, because the man cheated on her again, he killed this woman as well.
But her husband had sufficient alibi when the first woman died, and homicide had long been ruled out.
As for the female corpse found in the expanded underground garage later, it is said that she was a white-collar worker in a company and was related to the woman who committed suicide by jumping off the building. The two had a good relationship.
The whole case is full of strangeness, but there is one thing I can be sure of, that is, the woman definitely did not commit suicide by jumping off the building.
I closed my computer and absentmindedly scrolled through my phone.
At this moment, I suddenly saw a video saying that a famous professor of our country and his team mysteriously disappeared in Eshan.
Isn’t this Mao Jianming’s mentor?
I clicked on it and found some information about his mentor's life. At the end, it said that he was missing in Eshan and that local authorities were stepping up their search efforts.
It seems that Mao Jianming did not say that his mentor had been killed by the ghost-faced moth. If he said that, everyone would just think he was crazy.
I then searched Eshan, and all I could find were official accounts. But I knew, according to Old Huang, who we met on our way out, that Eshan was formerly called Eshan, and that the surrounding villages had a legend about not being able to enter Eshan, saying it was cursed and anyone who entered would die.
I was thinking about Eshan when I felt someone was looking at me outside the window.
I shuddered. You know, I live on the fourth floor, and it is basically impossible for someone to be outside my window at this height.
I lay on the bed and looked through the crack in the curtains. There was a dark eye staring at me.
I quickly hid under the quilt. I originally wanted to take off the evil-warding beads on my wrist and hold them in my palm, but when I touched them, I found that I had forgotten the evil-warding beads in the bathroom because I was scared when I took a shower.
I forced myself not to look there and ran barefoot to the bathroom to get the evil-repelling beads.
When I ran to the bathroom, I saw the evil-repelling beads lying on the bath rack.
I was just about to take it when a shadow suddenly appeared in the mirror.
I knew it was the female ghost in red, so I quickly grabbed the evil-repelling beads in my hand, which made me feel a lot more at ease.
I don't understand why she has to cling to me.
I have never met her before.
Looks like I'll have to move out soon.
But before I found a new house, Mao Jianming called me and said that Li Bin had died.
When he told me the news, my heart skipped a beat.
Is there really a curse on Eshan?
It was hard to explain over the phone, so we agreed to come to my store and talk in person.
Mao Jianming, Zhang Song and Zheng Yunyun were sitting in front of me.
Zheng Yunyun looked haggard.
"Are you okay?" I asked her with concern.
She shook her head and said nothing.
But we could all see that she was a little depressed.
"Why don't we go to the Tianshi Mansion and take a look?" said Mao Jianming.
We all looked at Zheng Yunyun, who refused, saying, "I'm fine. It's just that Zhang Yu and Li Bin died one after another, and I can't accept it."
There was nothing wrong with what she said. It was indeed hard to accept that two good friends died suddenly because of one thing.
Although we escaped from Eshan, we were still shrouded in the shadow of Eshan. Although we tried our best to persuade her, Zheng Yunyun refused to go to Tianshi Mansion.
We parted ways after a brief meeting. I've been busy looking for a new house these past few days, and the ghost has been appearing more frequently. At first, it was only in our neighborhood, but later, I started seeing her everywhere.
In this situation, I'm afraid she will still pester me even after I move. There is no other way, I must go to the Tianshi Mansion.
