Chapter 53
Seeing that the woman had tacitly acknowledged her identity, Lin Sheng agreed.
"The right people will take care of him."
After saying that, the other party wanted to leave, but Lin Sheng immediately stopped him and couldn't help but admonish him.
"You can take revenge in your own way, but you shouldn't kill He Tao yourself."
The woman turned her back to Lin Sheng and was silent for a while.
"Thank you. Living is worse than death, and more painful than death. I know it well."
The woman disappeared under the shade of the trees with her thoughts, her back stained with a soft light, as if she had always existed.
As night fell, without the threat of the female ghost, He Tao had nothing to worry about and could finally sleep well.
As soon as he stepped into the master bedroom, he saw An Yun looking at him in confusion, with a frown on his face.
As He Tao approached the bed, An Yun's brows tightened even more, and he even covered his mouth and nose. He Tao also showed a hint of displeasure at this time.
"What's that expression on your face?"
An Yun covered his mouth and responded in a muffled voice,
"Don't you smell something? It's like a rotten smell, very bad."
He Tao frowned and raised his hand to sniff himself repeatedly, but he didn't find any strange smell at all.
"No, it's just the scent of shower gel. I used the same bottle of shower gel as you today. It can't be the smell on me."
After repeated confirmation, He Tao approached again, but as he got closer, An Yun felt the stench became stronger and quickly reached out to stop him.
"Stop, stop, stop. Don't come over here. The closer you get, the worse the smell gets. It makes me want to vomit. Go wash up."
He Tao looked at her helplessly, and seeing her face full of resistance, he knew she was not joking, so he turned around and went back to the bathroom.
After taking five showers, He Tao finally couldn't bear it anymore. He stood by the bed angrily, suddenly pulled back the quilt and was about to lie down.
The moment the quilt was lifted, the foul smell rushed into An Yun's nostrils along the air flow, instantly filling An Yun's entire lungs, making people feel suffocated.
An Yun instinctively began to vomit, lying on the other side of the bed, unable to control the nausea.
He Tao saw her like this, and before he even settled down, he stood up in an instant and stood on the other side, looking at her angrily.
"What do you want? My skin is almost broken and my body is covered with red marks. How can there be any smell? You and I use the same bottle of shower gel, and we smell the same."
"It just smells bad. Why don't you sleep on the sofa in the living room today and come back tomorrow."
He Tao frowned, his intuition told him that it wouldn't be that simple. He looked at An Yun warily and asked tentatively,
"You don't... have someone else outside, do you? Tell me! Who is the adulterer?"
An Yun looked at him in confusion, his expression changing again and again, and he picked up the pillow beside him and threw it at He Tao.
"You've been getting more suspicious these days, haven't you? I didn't even suspect you had someone else out there, but you... Oh, I see. You yelled at me the moment you came back. So you had someone hiding out there. He Tao, you were the one who instigated me to poison Cui Linlin in the first place. Now that it's done, you want to get rid of me? I'm telling you, it's impossible!"
Seeing her reaction so strongly, He Tao gave up his original guess, softened his tone, and put on a smile in a gentle manner.
"Yunyun, you are the only one for me. There is no outsider. You are wronging me."
An Yun suppressed his nausea, pushed the person away, sat down on the bed, and took the initiative to distance himself.
"Men are truly arrogant and selfish creatures. They only allow themselves to be suspicious. They bite back at women's reasonable speculations, calling them injustices. Get out! I'll punish you by making you sleep on the sofa tonight."
Knowing that An Yun was angry, He Tao said no more and went to the living room with the bedding.
But the next day, the scene and the words were still the same. An Yunjian claimed that He Tao had a foul smell on him and refused to sleep with He Tao.
After taking a bath five times, He Tao could no longer tolerate it and rushed into the room to question An Yun.
"You're just deliberately excluding me and don't want to sleep in the same bed with me."
An Yun expected him to do this, so he sighed and looked up at him.
"Don't be unreasonable. You do smell. If you want to sleep on the bed, wash it one last time. After that, I'll let you into the room regardless of whether there's any smell or not, okay?"
He Tao looked at her doubtfully, but still did as she asked.
"ah!"
A scream of pain came from the bathroom, followed by a loud bang of something hitting the floor.
An Yun was startled instantly and rushed into the bathroom without any preparation. He saw He Tao lying on the floor with his face wrinkled and unable to move. He hurried forward to help him up.
"Why did you fall?"
He Tao hurriedly grabbed An Yun's hand to stop her.
"Don't move, don't move, my legs, my waist."
As soon as the words fell, there was a crisp creaking sound. He Tao was stunned for a moment and cried out in pain.
"Hurry up and get first aid!"
The two of them were rushing around in a hurry, and no one noticed that a strand of black hair quietly slipped out from the slightly open bathroom door and disappeared into the darkness again.
He Tao has a broken right leg and needs to stay in the hospital for a while.
In the hospital restroom, He Tao stood up with difficulty, slowly moved to the sink, lowered his head and hummed a song. A voice responded to his melody very naturally.
He Tao hummed even more happily, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and asked the other party with some surprise,
"Dude, have you heard this song too?"
But he didn't get an answer, but the other party kept humming the melody. He Tao didn't take it seriously, but suddenly someone patted his shoulder. Thinking it was the other party, he looked up happily and looked at the picture in the mirror. A human face split in half appeared behind him.
In the middle of her face was a blood-black groove, occupying the original position of the nose. In the eye sockets were a pair of completely black eyeballs. The moment He Tao looked at her, her eyeballs just flipped out from the flesh and met He Tao's gaze.
Her messy long hair was draped over her shoulders, and beneath her sleeveless white dress, she revealed a frail figure. Her skin, as white as paper, was tightly attached to her thin long bones, without a trace of flesh.
The other party continued to pat He Tao's shoulder. Only then did He Tao see the hand clearly. The nails were turned outward, revealing the black and red nail bed, with only one intact middle finger left.
Perhaps because he saw that He Tao had no reaction, the other party floated quietly, revealing his cracked lips in the mirror. His blood-red gums could be vaguely seen, and the pure white gaps between his teeth were filled with bright red liquid. The gaps between his teeth were stuck by an unknown object.
He kept chewing in his mouth, and streaks of bright red seeped out from the cracks on his lips and flowed down his throat as he squirmed up and down. This whole set of actions made He Tao think of a cheetah eating in the animal world, and what the other party was chewing in his mouth was flesh and blood.
Scenes of eating from the movie "Man Eater" flashed through He Tao's mind. His heartbeat rose sharply, his breathing slowed down and became rapid, and his eyes seemed to be swallowed by the scene in the mirror and could not move away at all.
In the mirror, the hand on He Tao's shoulder suddenly stopped, and only the middle finger kept tapping on He Tao's shoulder, pausing and stopping, like a countdown to death. He Tao could not move his whole body and was frozen in place.
Suddenly, the middle finger stopped, and He Tao's breathing was shocked. The next second, the middle finger turned several circles on the other party's hand, and was suddenly pulled off by an inexplicable force. The middle finger fell on the mirror, and dark red blood spurted out from the broken finger, splashing on He Tao's face and staining the entire mirror red.
The situation suddenly occurred, and He Tao picked up his crutches and hit the other person hard. Dragging his crippled right leg, fear diluted the pain and occupied his entire mind.
"Doctor! Doctor! Save me! Save me, there's a ghost in the toilet that eats people!"
He Tao stumbled into the doctor's office, shouting breathlessly.
The people present looked at him blankly, their eyes calm and indifferent. A voice said,
"Please refer him to a psychiatric department."
Seeing that they didn't believe him, He Tao became very emotional and raised his hand to grab one of them, looking panicked.
"If you don't believe me, come with me to the bathroom and see if there really is a ghost in there. I'm not talking nonsense!"
The doctor seemed to see through his thoughts and comforted him in a calm tone.
"Don't worry, there are so many of us here. Even if there are ghosts, they won't eat you. The hospital is very safe."
Although He Tao was panicked, he was not a fool. He could clearly hear the perfunctory response in the doctor's words, and his emotions became even more out of control. He grabbed the doctor's hand and pulled him out the door.
"You all don't believe me, she's in the bathroom, I'll take you there."
A calm reply came from behind my ear.
"She's not in the bathroom. She's already left."
"How did you know she left?"
Curious, He Tao turned his head to look at the doctor behind him, only to see a familiar ghost face suddenly enlarged in front of him, and he was holding it tightly.
A smile appeared at the irregular corners of his lips, and blood flowed out from the cracks, dripping onto the back of He Tao's hand. The skin instantly separated from the bones and firmly attached to the bleeding back of his hand. It was like a needle under the skin, piercing He Tao's flesh and blood, gradually spreading to his entire arm.
He Tao shook off the doctor's hand with horror in his eyes. He was anxious and shook his hand violently, trying to get rid of the skin that could eat human flesh and blood, but there was nothing he could do.
The epidermis turned into sharp thorns, piercing He Tao's skin, drilling into his blood vessels, and slowly eating away at his flesh and blood. A thick arm instantly turned into a bone, with remnants of human flesh remaining at the junction of the bone and flesh. The chest of He Tao's hospital gown was already soaked with blood.
"Help! Someone, please save me! Don't eat me! Don't eat me! Ah!"
He Tao fell to the ground and rolled around in pain, making a horrifying cry for help, with terrifying words popping out of his lips and teeth.
Seeing him like this, the doctor immediately knocked He Tao unconscious and sent him back to the ward. He also assigned a nurse to monitor him from time to time to prevent him from running out and scaring other patients.
"Don't worry, Miss Lin. We've seen many cases like this. The initial diagnosis is a brain nerve problem. The patient must have been exposed to some kind of stimulation in the past, which left a psychological trauma and caused the brain to imagine certain specific scenes."
The doctor explained He Tao's condition to Lin Sheng.
Lin Sheng didn't expect that Cui Linlin would dare to attack He Tao in front of everyone. Looking at He Tao's pale face lying on the hospital bed, Lin Sheng couldn't help but feel a little sympathy.
