Chapter 49
Yu Er saw Qiu Yue standing behind her. She covered her chest and said, "You scared me to death. Where is he?"
"How should I know?" Qiu Yue's face was flat and pale, as if floating in the night.
Yu Er was surprised and said, "Didn't you say that he was looking for me, so he brought me here?"
Qiu Yue tilted her head, looking a little playful, but the angle of her neck was a little odd. "No. You said someone was looking for me and brought me out."
Yu Er got angry and pointed at her and said, "Qiu Yue, are you kidding me? It's obviously you..."
A smile slowly spread across Qiu Yue's face: "Think about it carefully."
Yu Er covered her head, her mind seemed to turn slowly: "It seems that this is what happened. He asked me to call you out... and then... and then..." Her eyes wandered, and she was in a daze. Suddenly, she couldn't remember what year it was.
Suddenly, something long and soft flew by wrapped in the wind.
Yu Er subconsciously reached out and caught one. "Is this a petal? What flower's petal?"
Qiu Yue lowered her head, and a faint reply floated out from under her fluttering hair: "Flowers...on the other side..."
"Higanbana? The other shore..." Yu Er suddenly understood something and looked at Qiu Yue as if he had suddenly woken up.
Qiu Yue's body seemed thin and fragile, torn by the night wind, her ribs exposed in her chest, countless flower stems emerged from her body, and the enchanting red spider lilies swayed their flowers in the night.
Although it is a static cartoon, the clever storyboarding and superb painting skills make this scene dynamic, making people feel the vigor of flowers blooming and seem to hear the sound of a decaying body breaking.
Horrifying and beautiful.
Yu Er's expression was extremely terrified, and he stepped back: "I remember now, Qiu Yue, you...you died a long time ago!"
Qiu Yue smiled on the remaining half of her face: "Do you still remember how I died?"
"I don't know, I don't know! It's none of my business!"
"Do you really know nothing? Tell me and I'll let you go." Qiu Yue was like a paper mannequin, carried forward by the wind. Long, soft filaments grew from the eye sockets on one side of her skull and brushed against Yu Er's face.
Yu Er screamed and turned and ran.
Suddenly, a staircase leading down appeared in the darkness ahead. The staircase was made of ancient stone, covered with moss. She ran down the staircase in a panic.
After running for a while, he suddenly stopped, looked around and said to himself: "No, this place... I think I've been here before!"
It seemed as if a strong wind blew away the night fog, and the view suddenly widened. The camera zoomed out to a panoramic view. She was standing on a steep stone staircase, and below her was a deep valley covered with dense jungle.
"This is... the North Foothills Valley..."
She was trembling all over and making sounds through her teeth.
A gust of wind blew from behind, lifting her hair.
"Fragrance..." She stared straight ahead, sniffing the scent in the wind and muttering to herself, "It's my Pink Poison perfume."
A hand shoved hard on her back.
Yu Er fell down the stone steps, and his body flipped in mid-air, facing up, looking at the murderer who pushed him.
A figure stood on the stone steps, looking down at her, her long hair, which had not yet been curled, tied into a ponytail on her left shoulder.
That wasn't Qiu Yue. That was her student self.
As the adult Yu Er fell rapidly, he uttered, "That's me. Who am I?"
At this moment, the appearance of the adult Yu Er changed and he became another person.
Readers might be confused by this, thinking this face looks familiar. Those with poor memories might flip the comic forward and remember that this is Chen He, the girl Qiu Yue had argued with.
The girl, Chen He, fell into a deep ravine. With a muffled "bang", the screen turned completely black.
In the next frame, the black gradually faded, the picture became brighter, and a face with blood coming out of all seven orifices appeared.
Is an adult at two.
The scene shifts to a bird's-eye view, revealing a landscape no longer resembling a valley. Yu Er, his body deformed, lies on the concrete floor in front of the apartment building, a patch of blood beneath him.
The crowd of onlookers were discussing:
"I heard he fell from the roof."
"How many floors does this building have?"
"Seventeenth floor."
"Doesn't that mean it came down from the eighteenth floor? Does this mean the eighteen levels of hell?"
"Suicide, right?"
"Maybe. But I heard from the property management that she was seen on surveillance footage leaving the house barefoot in the middle of the night, climbing the stairs instead of taking the elevator. She climbed all the way from the eighth floor to the rooftop, mumbling incoherently as she climbed, as if an invisible figure was calling her. Then she jumped from the rooftop."
"Oh my god, this is so creepy, is this a ghost?"
The image zooms out further, transforming into a news photo shot from above. The caption reads: Young woman falls from building late at night.
Another photo, placed right beside it, also bore a news headline: "High School Girl Seriously Injured After Falling Off Mingzhu Mountain." It also bore the date: five years prior, the day after the base fire.
The "Falling Chapter" ends here, with a line of big words at the end: The plot requires it, please do not imitate, to be continued.
…
Chang Ting was watching with cold sweat dripping down his face when his cell phone suddenly vibrated.
He almost threw his phone away like Yu Er in the comics.
He looked closely and saw that it was his apprentice calling. He picked up the phone in a state of annoyance.
"I read the comics. Chen He is playing tricks again..."
"Master," Zhou Zhengzheng interrupted him, "People at the Chengzhou Welfare Institute said that Chen He was injured in a fall from a height. The accident occurred in the valley at the northern foot of Mingzhu Mountain."
