18 Chapter 18 (Three in One)
◎Pinch the eyeball◎
The inpatient building of Jiang City First People's Hospital, which is separated from other areas, is unusually crowded.
The morning news had just come on, and the few people in the ward, still somewhat pale, all looked up in unison. "Have they apprehended the cult? Have they also apprehended that ghost car that harmed us?"
They survived the [hearse] together, and what they were most looking forward to while cooperating with the treatment over the past two days was hearing this news!
bite--
The middle-aged woman stared blankly at the TV in the ward. After a moment of reaction, she dragged her splinted arm and quickly took out her cell phone.
After just one look, she burst into tears, clutching her phone, and rushed out the door, "I found it! I found my daughter... I want to take her home! She's waiting for me to pick her up!"
As soon as she got out of bed, she stumbled and fell to the ground due to her weakness.
"Sister Yao!"
The other patients were startled by her and frantically pressed the call bell to call for help. "I remember you said yesterday that your daughter had been missing in a car accident for almost a year, and you quit your job and started delivering food while trying to find her. Is there really news? Calm down. We just had a car accident and haven't recovered yet. We can't get out on our own..."
With the help of the nurse, Sister Yao returned to her bedside. She looked at her phone and nodded blankly. "Yes, I want to get better soon. Nannan is waiting for me. I have to go pick her up properly."
On the screen, the girl lay lifeless with her eyes closed. She was dressed in simple white clothes and had been carefully groomed. Only a closer look revealed unnatural deformations, as if she had been stuck in some kind of metal frame.
The last few words of the message paused on the message box, "...Please go to Jiang City in the near future to claim the body."
The mixed cries of sadness and joy reached the upper floor. Old Li had just sent the captain to the ward to rest and sighed softly on the way.
She turned into the next ward. The emaciated woman on the bed turned to look at her. "Most of the deceased merge into the abyss of the dead, never to be seen again. Over a year after the hearse was revived, the victims' families can finally see them again. The Jiang City police and the Investigation Bureau must have been busy for a long time, right?"
"[Wooden Man] almost revived. I was worried you wouldn't wake up. You seem quite energetic. No need to send a death sentence to Ms. Fang Xian."
Old Li placed the fruit basket he brought to visit the patient by the bed. "It's better to be busy. If we don't, it will be bad if Weird gets busy. This time, it's thanks to you and your men rushing out of the car. Otherwise, with the [hearse] making such a commotion, I'm afraid no one in the car would have survived."
"I don't remember." Fang Xian said in surprise.
Fang Xian never expected to get off the car alive. After using [Wooden Man], even if he was lucky enough to survive, he would not be far from death.
The result of the operation was better than the best expected outcome. The progress of the monster's revival regressed, and the body was getting better every day.
It's quite common for ordinary people caught up in strange events to experience physical impairments, weakened vitality, loss of appetite, sleep, and poor mental health. Not to mention her, who was actually being devoured by a strange creature.
But... she even has an appetite!
Fang Xian: "I always feel like... is it possible that it wasn't me who saved the person, but there was someone else in the car?"
"You've been a ghost slave for a while, so it's normal for your memory to be confused. Those who mistakenly entered the [hearse] and disappeared all appeared to be in a car accident. If they could have saved you, before the [wooden man] was detained by the [hearse], that person would definitely have gotten out with you. But you were the only ones at the scene. Unless... that person was still in the car and was the secret master of the True Spirit Society who finally took the [hearse] away."
Old Li understood what she was worried about. "The survivors of this incident are somewhat strange. The hospital records show that they actively requested food and lived a very healthy life. They were able to eat and sleep well, and they recovered faster than other survivors."
"The only problem is that everyone remembers someone in the car chasing them for money. But they only remember one thing, not that they had to pay, unlike the rules of the [Life Money]. Of course, it's also possible that the original rules were invalidated after the [Life Money] was swallowed by the [Hearse]."
Fang Xian nodded as he listened. "I do suspect that something strange happened in the car that affected my cognition. I plan to request a detailed investigation in this report. After all... the news of the fall of the restricted area may be erased from the knowledge of all ordinary people. I still can't remember which province is missing from the Blue Country. I forgot it again after reading the sealed paper files for a few days."
"Life is all about eating and drinking," Lao Li told a hellish joke. "Eat and sleep well, this weird lifestyle is healthier than us."
"The weird thing is 'eating' all the negative emotions and people... waiting to fatten us up before eating? It's not like they're an A-rank capable of creating a restricted area."
Fang Xian was speechless. "Speaking of which, has Consultant Tushan already reached the restricted area? I hope the guards are alright."
-
"The Investigation Bureau is now under martial law and is sweeping the surrounding area like crazy. How did Tu Shansui get out when he wasn't guarding the stele?!"
In a gloomy meeting place, someone asked the same question, complaining anxiously and panickily, "It's only been a few days, and the [hearse], the [troublesome hair], the [money to buy life]... have all been confiscated. There must be something fishy going on in Jiang City. Maybe Tu Shansui is in Jiang City! They seized the strange object and covered up the records, claiming that we took the spirit away and are insisting on making us take the blame. President, we're being targeted!"
The president, sitting in the main seat, listened quietly, his facial features seemed drawn, and the angle of his smile remained unchanged.
When the complaints were boiling, the president raised his hand and pressed it down. A chilling feeling suddenly rose in the entire venue, and all the voices disappeared in an instant.
The Guild Master's voice was ecstatic, "Brothers and sisters, our call has been heard. A new A-Class, a new God has awakened!
"It's time for those fragments of gods that haven't fully revived to step into the mortal world to guide the awakened gods!"
The gathering gradually dispersed, and angry curses were heard from the stronghold near Lin Province.
"Those useless people in Lin Province are forcing us to speed up the process of awakening the gods!"
He pointed his finger at the map and slowly moved to the university town area on the edge of Jiang City. "Since the previous strange things disappeared here, let's start from here. No matter what is in Jiang City, it won't matter if it becomes a sacrifice to the gods."
-
The voice of the early morning news video scrolls along with the bulletin board at the end of the food street.
Amidst the news reports of "crackdown on evil cults" and "cracking down on malicious car accidents that endanger society", the van in front of the Xile Hotel trembled slightly.
Ye Pingan took the basket of vegetables that Aunt Qin pushed out from the carriage and easily lifted it to the ground. "Aunt Qin, good morning. Have you eaten yet?"
"We've already eaten at home. The May Day hotel supermarket uses a lot of food, and we have to deliver it, so we won't leave any."
Aunt Qin dragged out the last basket of vegetables and stopped at the parking space at the door. "Did you buy a new car? Is the ground uneven or the shock absorber broken? Why does it feel like it's shaking?"
"Really?" Ye Ping'an patted the van. "Maybe I got hit by the wheel lock."
The driver and his relatives were obviously habitual offenders, not even taking out the car keys to be safe.
Given the public security in Jiang City, Ye Ping'an figured he would have to be careful of thieves with his new car, so he simply got a bunch of locks from the car dealership and put them on when he got back.
I kicked the tire and the car stopped shaking.
Aunt Qin suddenly remembered something important. "Look, I found someone who raises fish for you. They also raise free-range chickens. I think the quality will be good enough for you. It's in the mountains, next to a reservoir, so it's hard to get there without a car. I told you I'd pick you up when I'm free in two days. Since you have a car, I'll give you a business card. You can go check it out sometime."
"Don't worry, I've already told Xiao Zhou, it doesn't matter whether there's business or not. Just think of it as a trip to the reservoir."
Aunt Qin opened her phone, clicked on "Zhou Shi's" circle of friends, and scrolled down a few photos to show her.
You can tell at first glance that he's a fisherman. There aren't many photos showing the growth of his fish, or setting up nets or using fishing racks, but there are photos every day showing off the new fish he caught.
"Is it a reservoir fish? Then it should be of good quality. Thank you, Aunt Qin." Ye Ping'an responded, sent a friend request, and waited for the person to approve it.
Aunt Qin left in a hurry after unloading the goods. Ye Ping'an covered his slightly deflated wallet, erased the menu on the blackboard, and changed a few lines of words.
"It's time to serve some new dishes. The compensation is almost more than the business all day long. How can this be justified?"
As Xia Zihan and her roommate got off the bus, they smelled a faint sweet fragrance.
Her eyes lit up. "Hey, it smells good! Boss Ye seems to have made some new dishes. It really was a good idea not to order takeout."
"Does it smell good? I want to go back..."
Lin Yu's expression was tense, clutching the layers of her clothes and looking around. She kept looking back, as if looking for someone, but there was clearly no one around.
"A change of scenery might help you relax a bit. Don't you love the chicken soup here? They haven't been selling takeout these past couple of days. Let's ask the restaurant if they have any."
Xia Zihan pulled her and pushed open the glass door. The rich sweet aroma of honey mixed with the smell of charcoal fire rushed towards her, domineeringly pressing the switch of saliva secretion.
Lin Yu stopped and looked back, and was drawn by the fragrance to look into the store.
Ye Pingan picked up the last piece of barbecued pork and looked up in surprise. "Welcome - Xiao Xia? You came at the right time. I just finished lunch."
The golden, oily barbecue pork dangled from the chopsticks, the fat roasted to a translucent state, the rosy lean meat blooming like a flower on top. A quick bite and the honeyed juices sizzled softly against the tips of my teeth.
With delicious food in front of them, no one has time to think about anything else.
"Boss, a bowl of barbecued pork rice!" Xia Zihan blurted out. She looked at her roommate, "Would you like some?"
Lin Yu hesitated, "I have no appetite... I'll try yours later."
Xia Zihan looked eagerly, "Boss, boss, do you still have the brown sugar water you made that day? Or the chicken soup?"
"You've recovered from your cold, but you've infected your friend? Remember to take your medicine."
Ye Pingan smiled, "The menu has changed. There's no chicken soup. But today we have lotus seed and red bean paste, and plenty of brown sugar water. Please take a seat, it will be ready soon."
The medicinal food was promoted for a few days, but unfortunately no one ordered the set meal.
Ye Ping'an thought about it, and referring to the popular chicken soup, he picked out a new drink with a slight conditioning effect and put it on the menu.
Xia Zihan raised her hand, "Then let's add another serving of red bean paste and a cup of brown sugar water! Thank you, boss~"
Warm mist rose before my eyes, and the sugar cubes in the water glass clinked.
"Boss Ye, wait a minute!" Xia Zihan stopped Ye Ping'an who was going back to the kitchen to prepare food, and grunted as he picked up the box he had brought.
"This is a sweeping and mopping robot for you. Thank you, Boss Ye, for saving me that night! You're the only one in the store, so this should help ease some of the workload."
After getting off the bus late at night and returning to the dormitory, she felt strangely warm all over and slept through the night. She broke out in a sweat, and when she woke up, her cold was gone.
Xia Zihan hesitated between "there's a ghost" and "there isn't," forcing herself to divert her attention to something else. After a busy day at her part-time job, she returned to the dorm and, unable to resist, clicked on the mysterious webpage she'd stumbled upon earlier.
The webpage is quite shoddy, like a pirated novel website with small advertisements all over the screen, but it only publishes horror stories.
There are only four sections: [Ancient Legends], [Urban Legends], [Legends], and [Contact Us]. The categories are confusing, and the last option is impossible to click.
It all looks like a story, but Xia Zihan's reaction to the female ghost she encountered in the car, who tried to take away the person's head, is exactly the same as in a horror story.
Last night she found a story in Urban Legends that was very similar to the one about the strange vehicle.
I refreshed the page and it was updated. The story titled "Hearse" had been moved to the "Legends" section.
News of car accidents from all over the country were trending on several search engines last night. Xia Zihan had a vague feeling that they must be related.
Seeing Ye Ping'an didn't respond, Xia Zihan said embarrassedly, "The sweeping and mopping robot is, it's not worth much, just consider it a small token of my appreciation..."
Ye Pingan interrupted in confusion, "Wait, that's getting more and more outrageous. When did I save you?"
It’s nice to get a sweeping and mopping robot for free, but how come she doesn’t know what saving people means?
Xia Zihan paused for a moment. "That day, that woman was lying face down, her head missing! Her head looked just like the foreign 'flying head spells' I'd found online, meant to harm people. The car looked strange too. What else could it be but something dirty?"
"Why are you getting superstitious again? The bulletin board is still promoting anti-superstition and anti-cult propaganda. Have college students been deceived again?"
Ye Ping'an pointed outside speechlessly, "You just don't have much experience. Haven't you seen anyone dancing the head-breaking dance? They can fall down during the performance, not to mention that they just lowered their heads. The car is just a little dirty, and the driver is a little unscrupulous and ugly, that's all."
In the corner of the shop, a mop, thinly coated with silk thread, trembled slightly. Outside, the van, glistening in the sunlight, sat frozen in place.
The loudspeaker on the announcement screen happened to sound once, and Xia Zihan's face flushed instantly. She was powerless to refute, "That's different..."
Every time this happened, she began to feel that there were no ghosts in this world.
Otherwise, how could Boss Ye curse ghosts so confidently?
He doesn't look like a hermit who lives in seclusion in the city at all!
Well, according to the logic of some horror stories, it may be because Boss Ye doesn’t believe in ghosts at all and is not afraid of ghosts, so ghosts can’t do anything to her?
Xia Zihan gave up thinking before she got dizzy and pushed the box away playfully. "I had a fever the other day. When I took my temperature back in the dorm, it was over 40. If I had fallen asleep in the car, I would have died of fever. Boss Ye, please take me down. Hello, Boss Ye! I've deleted all my orders and can't return them. Just take them!"
Ye Ping'an was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
In the past, when a restaurant opened, diners would compete with each other, spend money and give small gifts, trying to grab a spot to dine at the next restaurant.
Is she receiving gifts now because she is helpful?
Ye Pingan thought for a moment and said, "Just consider it as your meal card topping up. Thanks, I'm just too lazy to mop the floor."
It was fine for Ye Ping'an to clean up the normal kitchen waste and oil stains on the store, but after traveling through time, there were always customers who paid too little attention to their personal hygiene and made the floor a mess. It was annoying to clean up every time.
There is a rag that is so smelly that it cannot be washed out!
"I'm going to cook, you guys take a seat first."
With a clang, a wooden tray carrying two porcelain bowls, one large and one small, was put down.
Lin Yu sat down for a few seconds, holding the hot water, and began to look around nervously. Her attention was drawn to the aroma on the table, and she couldn't help swallowing.
The rosy barbecued pork almost covered the entire bowl, and an extra spoonful of sauce was poured on it. The thick barbecued pork sauce wrapped around the freshly cooked rice. The amber-like sauce sparkled and the aroma was steaming.
It is covered with a handful of green vegetables, which adds a touch of fresh green to the heavy color, just right.
As soon as the food was served, Xia Zihan took a big mouthful of rice with the barbecued pork.
The generous portion of barbecued pork was rich with both fat and lean meat, and was sweet with a hint of saltiness. The rice that was scooped into my mouth was coated in the sauce, and each grain was rich with the sweet and salty gravy. It was just as appetizing as the first sight.
Chewing slowly and eating big bites of meat are two different kinds of satisfaction. Xia Zihan took another bite and inhaled it violently.
"Xia Xia." A pair of chopsticks blocked her action of holding the bowl.
Lin Yu's eyes wandered, and he whispered, "Let me try it."
Xia Zihan chuckled, put down the bowl, and showed the half of rice he had scooped out from the middle. "I knew you'd be hungry. These two slices of barbecued pork are left for you. Try them without getting your mouth wet."
She turned around and started to urge, "Boss! You cook so deliciously, what am I supposed to do? When will the barbecued pork rice be available for takeout? I can't come here every day after the holidays, and I'm going to die without barbecued pork..."
Ye Ping'an opened the box and studied the manual of the robot vacuum and mop. He said casually, "I didn't make much barbecued pork sauce, so I'll only sell it for the next two days. I might buy some fish soon, and then serve other new dishes later."
Xia Zihan agreed wholeheartedly, "Fish? Boss Ye, are you going to find a new supplier? I'll invite everyone over as soon as they're on the shelves! Chicken, duck, fish, beef, mutton, and donkey—I love them all. More! More!"
They finally ordered another serving of barbecued pork rice. Xia Zihan rubbed her stomach and said, "That's it. I ate half a serving and can't finish any more red bean paste."
"Let me eat it." Lin Yu scooped up a mouthful of red bean paste.
The aroma is not as prominent as barbecued pork, nor is the color as bright.
It was still a little hot when it came out of the pot, but now it is just warm.
The sweetness of the rock sugar blends with the natural sweetness of the beans, and after stirring, the dried osmanthus flowers sprinkled on the surface are golden and fragrant. The lotus seeds are cooked until soft, and the soft and sticky lotus seeds are rolled in the soft and dense bean paste. Suddenly, it feels like stumbling upon a treasure.
It is sweet, but not too sweet, gentle and soothing, like the spring rain that moistens everything silently. I swallowed several spoonfuls without realizing it.
As his stomach slowly filled up, a warm warmth spread from his stomach to his limbs. Lin Yu's tense nerves relaxed a little. "Boss, if you switch to selling drinks, it should be very popular."
"As I said, Boss Ye's cooking skills are superb."
Xia Zihan observed her expression and held her roommate's hand. "Now, can you tell me what happened? You've been getting more and more nervous since you started your internship, and things have been even more off these past few days. We're all worried about you. We're good friends, and if you have any problems, we can help you solve them together."
Lin Yu was stunned for a moment, then moved and held her hand. He said with difficulty, "I... I feel like someone is looking at me."
"Is there a pervert following us?" Xia Zihan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
She was so scared that she thought her roommate had also encountered a ghost. Fortunately, there shouldn't be that many ghosts.
"No!" Lin Yu suddenly raised his voice and retorted excitedly, "Someone is really watching me!"
Ye Pingan looked up in surprise, "What happened? Don't be angry, drink some water."
Lin Yu only then realized that Xia Zihan's hands were clenched red, and quickly loosened them, forcing a smile. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, and I didn't want to be angry... I, I don't know what happened."
In May, Lin Yu wore layer after layer of clothes, wrapping herself tightly like a cocoon. But she wasn't wearing any warm clothes; it was more like she was wearing every coat she could find.
In her excitement, she forgot to hold onto the stretched collar of her dress. The buttons of her dress were pushed open under the weight, and Lin Yu frantically grabbed the dress and buttoned it up tightly.
Xia Zihan grinned and shook his hands. "I understand, I understand. I'm afraid you really have encountered some problems. Talk slowly, from the beginning, there's no rush."
Lin Yu held the hot water in her hand for a long time before she spoke again, "Do you remember I blocked the peephole in the dormitory?"
Xia Zihan said without hesitation, "Yes. That happened before Boss Ye opened the shop. Didn't you see the news about a thief prying open the door through the peephole?"
Lin Yu shook his head, "There are eyes... in the cat's eyes."
During his senior year internship, Lin Yu successfully got into the big company he was aiming for.
I have been in the company for more than a month. Although I am not used to the complicated restrictions of the company's rules and regulations, like every employee, I feel that many of them are unnecessary, but as an intern, I have no say.
As an office worker at the bottom of the organization, interns run around from place to place every day, working until very late, yet still feel like they haven't created any value.
Another busy day ended in the evening, and the sky outside the window was dark. When Lin Yu was about to leave the office, he found that the door behind him, which had been open all the time, had been closed at some point.
Lin Yu grasped the door handle and turned it, but the door didn't budge.
"Unlucky, the door lock is broken."
The doors in my office weren't just ordinary wooden doors; each one was a security door. After years of use, they started to have minor issues. The quality was so good that I couldn't even kick it open, and the locks got stuck, which was especially troublesome.
Lin Yu remembered that a few days ago, someone was accidentally locked out of another office and had to ask someone to open the door from the outside.
Lin Yu helplessly sent a message in the group to see if there were any colleagues who could help bring a locksmith.
While browsing the messages, Lin Yu vaguely heard footsteps outside the door.
Step, step, step.
The footsteps sounded heavy, as if the foot was lifted up heavily and then dropped heavily.
Who happened to still be staying in the company?
Lin Yu perked up, "Is there anyone here? Is there anyone here? Please help me get a locksmith up and help me open the door. Thank you!"
As soon as she made a sound, the footsteps stopped.
While shouting, Lin Yu leaned forward to look through the peephole, trying to see which colleague it was.
In case your colleagues didn’t hear it, you can also send a message to remind them directly.
Outside the peephole is a familiar corridor.
The energy-saving light bulbs emitted white light, illuminating another row of closed office doors opposite.
Normally, the door was open, and the light and sunlight illuminated the entire building. But at night, when I looked out through the peephole, the peephole distorted my vision, and the dark door seemed a little awkward.
Lin Yu changed direction and barely saw that the lights in the workstations at the end of the corridor were still on, but the corridor was empty no matter how he looked.
Strange, I didn't hear the door open. How did the person leave?
She stood at the door with a bitter face and continued to send messages. After sending a few messages, she suddenly felt something was wrong.
The color of the cat's eyes changed.
The white light turned into a strange dark red.
"Could it be that the light bulb is broken too..." Lin Yu leaned over to take another look.
The corridor disappeared, leaving only a dark red.
She stood there in a daze, watching the dark red color turn slightly, revealing the pupil in the center.
...It was an eye full of bloodshot.
Staring at her with excitement and malevolence.
No wonder I can't hear any footsteps.
Someone was hiding outside the door, just below it, listening to her cries for help without making a sound, and when she wasn't paying attention, he put a peephole on her and secretly watched her.
Lin Yu's scalp exploded, and he rolled along the door, leaning his back against the wall, "Who?!"
The disgusting gaze seemed to still be stuck on me, and outside the dark office window, a shadowy figure seemed to be looking at me.
"I'm calling the police! I'm calling the police!" Lin Yu shouted fiercely but weakly.
"Xiao Lin?"
A confused colleague replied from outside the door, "The technician just arrived. It's a bit exaggerated for you to rush to call the police to open the door."
The door opened and Lin Yu rushed out impatiently. Seeing the lights in the hall and facing the inexplicable gazes of his colleagues who were working overtime, he finally calmed down.
No warped corridors, no weird eyes.
When asked if anyone had come before unlocking the door, colleagues shook their heads.
"I must have seen it wrong." Lin Yu said.
Back in the dormitory at night, she fell asleep, frightened and exhausted. Lin Yu vaguely felt that she seemed to be back in the office again, sleeping on the table.
Someone was watching her from outside the door.
One day might just be a nightmare after being frightened, one day, two days, three days...
This happens every day.
Watching her "person" getting closer and closer.
From outside the door, to inside the door, and then behind her.
The feeling of being stared at became more and more obvious when he was awake, and Lin Yu couldn't help but look back to confirm whether there was anyone there.
Sometimes it was just a colleague, sometimes a classmate, a stranger, and sometimes no one at all. It seemed as if she was the only one who was suspicious.
Lin Yu began to cover himself with his coat, turning himself into a shell to block the increasingly intense vision.
It helped a bit. Lin Yu put on layer after layer of "shells," and her sight seemed to be further away. She still couldn't help but look everywhere for the non-existent voyeur, but she was able to live a relatively normal life.
Xia Zihan felt a chill run down her spine as she rubbed her goosebumps. "No, it was a little better after you put on all your clothes, but it was obviously wrong again yesterday. I was sleeping when I heard you run out of the dormitory. Did you see... that eye again in the dormitory?"
Lin Yu nodded. "During lunch break, I felt someone was watching me from outside the door. I secretly extended my phone's camera out from under the quilt and tapped the door. I just saw the picture, but there was nothing."
"I thought I was being overly sensitive again. When I was about to delete the photo, I suddenly noticed a little red at the bottom of the door. When I zoomed in, it looked like an open eye."
Lin Yu's face was grim. "I jumped down and opened the door, but there was still nothing outside. I ran to the study room, but not long after I sat there, I felt someone watching me. I turned around and found that the student behind me was just sleeping. I thought I was mistaken, but I saw the reflection of his black phone screen under the hood of his sweatshirt, and one eye was open. But he clearly had his eyes closed!"
"It's a ghost, it must be a ghost! It was right behind me in my dream last night, and it came to me as soon as I closed my eyes! It's coming!"
Lin Yu's face was pale and he was shaking all over. He was muttering almost crazily. The hot water in his hand spilled onto half of the table as he shook.
Xia Zihan had never seen her like this before, and she shuddered.
Ye Pingan pressed Lin Yu's shoulders and asked, "Can you feel it even if you sit here?"
Lin Yu was stunned for a moment. "It seems... a little. But, not very obvious? I can't explain it clearly."
The curled-up mop squeezed into the corner again, trying to avoid being seen by anyone.
Ye Pingan refilled the hot water, "Drink some water. Have you been to the hospital? Maybe the internship pressure is too great and you're feeling a little anxious."
"It's different." Lin Yu was almost driven crazy by the vague gaze and denied it outright.
Ye Ping'an spread his hands, "That's even simpler. Call the police. Whether it's a prank, peeping, or stalking, we'll know after we investigate."
Xia Zihan: ...?
Very good, this is very Boss Ye.
Xia Zihan racked his brains, imitating Ye Ping'an's insistence that "there is no ghost" and thinking: "Boss Ye, how about we lie down here with you for a while? If I fall asleep and no longer feel like anyone is watching me, I can get a good night's sleep, which might make me feel better. This way, it will be easier for Ayu to go to the hospital or report the case."
Ye Pingan agreed casually, "Okay. There's no one here anyway, you can sleep if you want."
Lin Yu opened his mouth, wanting to say that it couldn't be that simple.
But he did feel a little better after the meal, and his heart urged her to agree.
My roommate just said something about a female ghost and someone saving her life from a ghost car. Maybe the shop owner is really special?
Lin Yu nodded hesitantly and lay on the table.
The warm yellow light in the store was cozy and peaceful. She was already extremely sleepy, but after finishing her meal, she closed her eyes and immediately felt sleepy again.
Can’t sleep…can’t sleep…
My consciousness gradually became blurred, and the sight behind me suddenly became stronger.
It was behind her, no, at the back of her head.
Malice, sliminess, bloodthirsty... the terrifying bloodshot eyeballs stared at her.
Something gently touched her behind the ear. Lin Yu shuddered and suddenly jumped up, yelling incoherently, "It, it's coming! It's going to eat me!"
As soon as she jumped up, she saw her roommate sitting opposite her with a strange expression.
Xia Zihan's face looked like an overturned palette: three parts disbelief, three parts incredulity, three parts speechless, and one part anger.
But, there was no panic.
The expression was so complicated that Lin Yu was stunned for a moment before he turned his head and looked behind him following her gaze.
Ye Pingan looked at her subtly, "Are you not washing your hair seriously?"
"Ah?" Lin Yu didn't know why she asked that and was extremely embarrassed. "No?"
Ye Ping'an turned his wrist, revealing an eyeball pinched between his fingertips.
The bloodshot eyeballs stared ahead, trembling slightly and turning around, malicious and crazy.
An invisible shadow rose around the eyeballs, and strands of blood disappeared as soon as they overflowed.
“——!!!” Lin Yu gasped and almost screamed, “It’s it! That’s it!”
Ye Ping'an remained calm: "It's a pinhole camera disguised as a hairpin. How wicked! They made it like this just to scare people. It's so ugly."
"Pinch? Camera? Huh?" Lin Yu was a little confused about her mother tongue. She knew a few words, but when she put them together with this eyeball, her brain was no longer working.
Ye Ping'an pinched his "eyeballs", which swelled elastically, and his pupils trembled strangely and rolled upwards, as if trying to "see" her.
"It, it's moving!" Lin Yu's mind went blank.
Phew.
The eyeball was squeezed flat and a ball of liquid burst out.
The burst skin drooped down and turned into a sticky colloid, slowly dripping out along with the sticky unknown dark red inside.
"Huh, the quality is so bad?"
Ye Ping'an shook his hands in disdain and pulled out a plastic bag. "I'm sorry, I didn't expect it wasn't colloid inside. It burst after just two squeezes. You can only use the camera to check. Check your company. It's probably your colleagues who are playing a prank on you and scared you. The camera was left on your head that day, and you were so dazed that you didn't notice it. That's why you always feel like someone is behind you."
"Oh, oh." Lin Yu nodded in a daze and picked up the camera.
Although I couldn't believe it, the vague spying gaze that had been there all the time suddenly disappeared.
What did she do? She just closed her eyes for less than a few seconds!
