Chapter 78 Water Ghost 1
She was being followed.
The story begins a week ago.
…
Yu Jiao and her boyfriend's engagement party was scheduled to be held at Yinxiju a week ago. On the morning of that day, Yu Jiao received a call from her boyfriend, saying that he could not attend for some reason and discussed with her to postpone the date.
Engagement is a big day, and choosing the right time is very important. If you want to postpone it, you can only postpone it to next spring.
Cheng He coaxed, "With something as serious as that, the company's staff are overwhelmed, and I have to worry about everything... God knows how much I want to marry you right away, but reality doesn't allow it. In order to create a better foundation for our lives, I have to work harder..."
"When I'm done, I'll bring you some milk tea downstairs at the office and buy you that bag you like at the mall, okay, Xiao Jiao?"
Yu Jiao agreed.
She was wearing her carefully coordinated engagement dress, with puff sleeves and a pink and white bow at the waist. She was fixing her hair in the hotel bathroom, which had a wall-to-wall mirror. The incandescent light above her head flickered a few times. Yu Jiao was very timid, and she immediately felt a chill down her spine. She was thankful it was daytime; if it had been night, she would have fainted.
The lights went out and the mirror was dark.
In the quiet hotel bathroom, footsteps were heard.
Ta-da, ta-da, ta-da.
Yu Jiao regretted arriving at such a bad time that she didn't even see the cleaning lady. She should have returned home immediately when she received Cheng He's call. What's wrong with holding her urine? She was so scared that she could hardly stand.
She kept comforting herself until the cleaning lady rumbled in pushing a cleaning cart and turned on the bathroom light.
"The power lines have been unstable lately, and they keep tripping for no apparent reason... What's wrong with you, girl? Are you feeling unwell?"
Yu Jiao left in a hurry.
This is where things go wrong.
…
She and her sister rented a one-bedroom house together. They said they lived together, but in reality her sister spent most of her time at the research institute and only came back occasionally on vacation. Therefore, the decoration of the house was all according to her preferences.
Yu Jiao is on vacation today. It is rainy in Qingcheng City. She slept very soundly and woke up at noon. She covered her rumbling stomach and ordered takeout for lunch while lying on the bed.
After seeing the merchant accept the order, she threw back the quilt, put on her cotton suspender skirt, and walked to the bathroom in slippers. The woman in the mirror had a beautiful face, with watery eyes and bright red lips. She held her face and admired it for a while, then squeezed toothpaste and started brushing her teeth.
The strange feeling came again.
The small bathroom was suddenly filled with an indescribable cold atmosphere. The window was not open, and the cold wind came inexplicably, carrying the smell of sticky blood and appearing behind Yu Jiao. Toothpaste foam slid down her chin, soaking the cotton skirt on her chest. The chill climbed up her spine inch by inch and rushed straight to the top of her head.
Yu Jiao's tears flowed like beads falling from a broken string.
In the mirror, a chaotic black shadow gradually emerged, only half a fist away from her. The black shadow wrapped in blood stayed there for a long time before disappearing with the sound of tears falling to the ground.
When I came to my senses, there was a wet mark under my feet.
Yu Jiao thought she was scared to the point of peeing her pants. She touched her face and found that the tears on the ground were hers. She was a very good cryer. When she was a child, whenever she was bullied, she would go to her sister and cry. With her sister protecting her, she was not afraid of anything.
But my sister is not around.
I can never get through to my boyfriend on the phone.
I know he is busy with company affairs, so I don't want to disturb him anymore.
Yu Jiao turned on all the lights in the house and drew the curtains. When the sunlight came in, she briefly felt a sense of warmth.
Holding her cell phone, she curled up on the sofa, facing the door of the room, waiting for the delivery man to arrive. Only the ringing of the phone could dispel her fear.
Yu Mo said that she was timid and was scaring herself. She didn't dare to watch horror movies. After seeing the horrific scenes, she would have nightmares for a whole month. She would not be able to do that in the future.
Yu Jiao smiled and said, "I have my sister to accompany me." But can her sister accompany her forever?
Get takeout.
Yu Jiao thanked the delivery boy for a few words, and after a brief exchange, she felt bolder. What could possibly happen? Could there really be ghosts in the world? Even a three-year-old wouldn't believe this.
The takeaway order was spicy hot pot.
The soup was suffused with chili oil, and the aroma made her drool. She first picked up a quail egg and stuffed it into her stomach, then swiped her phone to find a variety show to watch while eating.
"hiss--"
The tip of the finger was pierced by the sharp thorn of the wooden chopstick.
A small drop of blood appeared.
Wiping it off with a tissue, Yu Jiao saw an anonymous email in her mailbox and clicked on it.
Where she couldn't see.
The black shadow quickly expanded, expanded, and expanded...
The sunlight high in the sky was blocked by dark clouds, and the drizzle formed into silk threads, forming hazy spider-web-like rain marks on the glass windows.
Footsteps were heard.
It was not the sound made by the direct contact between the shoe upper and the ground, but more like the barrier of water, with the sticky and damp smell of water splashing with every step. The black shadow slowly focused and took shape, standing behind Yu Jiao, staring at the fingertip with blood marks.
Smells so good.
So sweet.
It's a familiar taste.
The man's figure gradually emerged.
Yu Jiao's thoughts were distracted by the anonymous email.
The content of the email is covered by the photo.
Each photo is an intimate shot of a man and a woman.
A sleeping man was kissed by a woman holding his mouth, a woman resting her head on the man's arms... More and more explicit photos... Private parts that Yu Jiao had never seen before appeared in the photos...
The steaming hot spicy hot pot that night eventually got cold.
Yu Jiao squatted on the ground, hugging her knees, her eyes red and swollen from crying.
Cheng He had always been gentle and considerate to her, except for one time, when Yu Jiao graduated and Cheng He asked her to go hiking. At night, they stayed in the same hotel together. Yu Jiao could feel her boyfriend's desire for her. She was soft-hearted and had long forgotten her sister's education. She lay in bed with Cheng He in a daze. At that time, Cheng He revealed to her a man's desire for a woman's body that was different from before. Just when she was about to take the last step, there was a knock on the door of the room.
Yu Jiao vaguely saw the scarlet eyes of Cheng He's friend.
After that, Cheng He never came in again. He told her to sleep peacefully and left. After that, the two of them never had another chance.
She just thought Cheng He was considerate of her young age and wanted to wait until the day of their wedding to take the final step, but she never imagined that he was actually having an affair outside.
It was as if the world had collapsed. She had never experienced such a great blow before. Although her parents died young, leaving her and her sisters to be raised by her uncle and living under someone else's roof, she always had her sister to protect her. Her sister was her heaven. After falling in love with Cheng He, Yu Jiao naturally relied on Cheng He. He was handsome, gentle and considerate...
Yu Jiao couldn't accept it for a while.
I don't even have the courage to question my boyfriend.
She has always been cowardly.
Just hide behind people.
As the night deepened, she was still crying, with endless tears. She couldn't tell her sister, and she didn't dare tell her. She was under a lot of pressure at work. Yu Jiao didn't want her sister to worry about her affairs anymore, so she could only suppress the pain in her heart.
Click, click.
Yu Jiao was secretly shocked.
Her tears were so many and so big that they made such a loud sound when they fell to the ground. When she wiped them with the back of her hand, there were no tears left. She had cried them all out long ago, and her pretty face was covered with dried tear marks.
So... what's that sound? Is the pipe leaking?
Click, click.
Yu Jiao looked up and saw the TV screen in front of her.
The black screen can act as a mirror when the device is turned off.
Behind her, someone was slowly approaching.
Yu Jiao clenched her palms, feeling a fear that almost made her faint.
My heart beats faster and a chill runs down my spine.
Her eyes were fixed on the TV screen, her limbs were out of control, mechanically stiff and cold... There was a sticky breath like a poisonous snake moving around her forearms, upper arms, and neck, and she dared not move.
Can a person have such a powerful illusion when he is in pain?
Not only is there visual description, but even hearing, smell, and touch all work together to outline a horror that is enough to make Yu Jiao's blood flow backwards -
A ghost covered in water, with water marks all over the ground.
Male ghost.
Yu Jiao breathed a sigh of relief and picked it up again.
She tried to ease the powerful illusion by closing her eyes.
Unfortunately, it's of no avail.
She could clearly feel the pores of her body opening up due to his proximity, goose bumps covering her body. The cool breath that penetrated through the gaps between her hairs made her throat feel like it was blocked by an ice pick, making it impossible for her to make a sound. She could only close her eyes helplessly and silently recite in her heart -
Retreat, retreat, retreat!
Yu Jiao's good luck ran out on this day.
My sister is on a business trip and her boyfriend is cheating on her.
She shivered and curled up into a ball, turning her head to avoid the cold breath lingering on her neck. She could no longer tell whether it was a fantasy she had imagined or a real scene. After all, fingers as cold and stiff as a dead person pinched her jaw and forced her to turn her head.
Yu Jiao looked into a pair of dark and deep eyes.
And a face as white as paper.
"No...no..." She couldn't speak.
The incandescent light above her head had no function in exorcising ghosts. It only added to the horror effect at this time, allowing her to more clearly distinguish the difference between him and humans, and see the blue veins emerging on the side of his face, like spider webs on his pale and bloodless face.
The fingers pinching her jaw were extremely tight, so it was painful of course. However, the sticky and cold breath made her forget the pain, and only fear filled her heart and eyes.
"You smell so good."
He suddenly spoke.
He put his obviously dead face close to her neck.
Yu Jiao screamed in fear, and quickly shut up under his dark gaze.
His chest was pounding.
She sat on her buttocks, tilting her head back as hard as she could, letting the cold air, like a wild animal patrolling its territory, leave sticky marks on her body. Drops of water fell on her collarbone, sliding down to wet her clothes. Through the thin fabric, goose bumps rose on her skin where the water came into contact with her again... She felt the blood in her body screaming for fear, desperately asking her to escape, escape -
Where could she run to?
She sat in the space between the sofa and the coffee table, half of her body sunk into the soft sofa out of fear. In front of her was him squatting, his wet body, his blood-stained clothes, and his face, intoxicated by the first smell of a stranger. His narrow, slightly crimson black eyes were wide open, his gaze tearing at her inch by inch. He pinched her chin and lifted it up, sniffing her scent fiercely and frantically...
Yu Jiao heard a laugh.
His lips curved, their color was unexpectedly red, his teeth were unexpectedly white, and apart from his paper-white face, he looked like an ordinary person.
“It’s you—”
She stared at him in surprise.
Could it be... that he has a grudge against her? She has never done anything bad...
His voice was beside her ears, every word pronounced clearly, like thunder that exploded her pounding heart.
"Yu, Jiao, Jiao."
