Chapter 24: Tube Building (Twenty-four) Don’t look at it, it’s too dirty. …
Chen Si huddled at the edge of the mud pit, raised his hands high in a bowing gesture, and only peeked at the
The dark shadow in front of me.
This was the first time he was able to speak after having nightmares for so many days. He only hoped that Song Wan would let him go for the sake of her child.
The petite figure slowly stopped at the edge of the mud pit, and looked down at him condescendingly in the moonlight.
He couldn't see the other person's expression hidden in the black mist, but he could tell from her slightly lowered head that she was looking at him.
The dagger turned in a circle in the figure's hand, and the fat on Chen Si's face trembled.
"I was really wrong..."
With the pain from the knife still on his body, Chen Si knelt down in the mud pit and kowtowed towards the figure.
"I was drunk that day and accidentally hurt you..."
"Please forgive me, please forgive me..."
"I will work like a slave in my next life and atone for your sins!"
"You will really take good care of my child..."
A soft female voice sounded in the darkness and drifted into Chen Si's ears.
"Until he grows up?"
This was the first time that Chen Si received a response from the other party in his dream. As long as the other party stopped pestering him, he would agree to any promise.
He immediately shouted to the figure, trembling and excited: "I can, I can! I will take good care of him!"
"I take care of him like my own son!!!"
"Hmm?"
The figure hummed in confusion.
"My dear son..."
"Is he the kind of son that you kill after finding him?"
Chen Si's fawning expression suddenly froze, and it took him a while to react.
"No, no, no... I won't do that, I won't do that!"
"Your son is missing... that was my mother's fault... it's none of my business!!!"
"If you want revenge, go find my mom! It's none of my business!"
"oh, "
The soft female voice trailed off long, but the sharp tip of the knife was pointed towards Chen Si in the air.
"Your mother did it, you have to find her."
"Then what you did... I still have to find you..."
"Isn't that right?"
Chen Si knelt in the mud, watching the black fog rising around the figure, and finally realized that the other party was not going to let him go easily.
He stood up suddenly and staggered out of the mud pit.
"Don't look for me, don't look for me! I just slept with you for one night! It was because you struggled that I accidentally killed you!"
Chen Si dug his fingers deep into the slippery soil and climbed up using both legs. His expression suddenly changed from cowardly to ferocious.
"Go find Zhou He! Yes, go find Zhou He!"
"She drugged you and let her man sleep with you countless times. You should go find those two old fools!"
“Don’t look for me!!!”
Chen Si collapsed and screamed, and finally crawled out of the mud pit.
"Don't be in a hurry, take it one by one, slowly."
A gentle voice sounded behind him, and Chen Si's hands and feet stiffened. He felt something sticky and slippery wrapped around his body, dragging him into the pit with irresistible force.
“Ahhhh!”
“Let me go, let me go!!”
The obese man fell flat on his face in the mud pit. The fishy smell of mud mixed with the smell of rotting and fermenting corpses rushed into his mouth and nose.
He struggled frantically at the bottom of the pit and wanted to beg for mercy, but a ball of smelly mud suddenly poured in, tightly blocking the noisy sound.
“Ugh!! Ugh!!!”
The foul smell made Chen Si almost nauseous. He fell into the mud pit with tears streaming down his face. Before he could get up, his hands and feet were entangled by several wet, cold and sticky things.
Finally, he was bound tightly to the bottom of the cold pit.
The petite figure standing at the edge of the pit lowered her brows and glanced at him again, then gently threw the dagger with a cold glow into the pit.
The tip of the knife pierced his crotch exactly.
It was just about to hit his vital point. The bound Chen Si trembled all over, and only heard the gentle female voice continue to speak.
"Now, you have two choices."
The dagger was lifted up by the black mist and silently hovered between Chen Si's eyebrows. The sharp tip of the knife slid slowly against his skin.
"As usual, I suffered the pain of a thousand cuts, repeating the cycle until dawn."
"Or maybe..."
The dagger slid down along his eyebrows, across his throat, chest, and lower abdomen, and finally stopped at his two pounds of flesh.
"If you cut up this evil thing, I'll let you go tonight, okay?"
Chen Si's body was shaking like a sieve. Before the dagger fell, the painful memory of scraping flesh and removing bones had already made his muscles twitch like a conditioned reflex.
“Woo…”
He struggled and shook his head, his mud-covered face looking disheveled, and he stared in the direction of the figure with bloodshot eyes.
"Oh... I see..."
The dagger wrapped in black mist cut through the dirty fabric.
"You're greedy, you want it all, right?"
The cold dagger had already touched the skin of his thigh. Chen Si struggled frantically, but his mouth was blocked and he could not speak. He could only make a series of hoarse whimpers.
Suddenly, his mouth loosened, the blocked mud slid down, and he finally coughed.
"I, I choose!!!"
“Ahem!!”
“I choose the first one…!!”
The dagger stopped sliding, and the black shadow that bound Chen Si's arm loosened at the same time, and he gained a brief moment of freedom.
"very good."
"But I don't have much patience. You only have thirty seconds."
His legs were still tangled and bound at the bottom of the pit, so he couldn't escape.
Chen Si raised his upper body tremblingly and numbly grasped the dagger that was still hanging between his legs.
"This is a dream...just a dream..."
"The dream ends when you wake up..."
"It will be over soon..."
He muttered something to comfort himself, his eyes slowly moving downwards.
"One dollar for a thousand dollars...it's a good deal, it's a good deal..."
“It’s a good deal, a good deal…”
"The dream will end soon... This isn't real..."
"ten."
The countdown came.
Chen Si ripped off his clothes tremblingly.
"Nine."
Chen Si burst into tears.
"eight."
Chen Si's tears mixed with snot fell on the back of his shaking hand.
"seven."
Chen Si was so frightened that he peed his pants.
"six."
Chen Si was stunned for a second.
"five."
Chen Si raised the dagger again.
"Four."
Chen Si gestured with trembling hands.
"three."
Chen Si lowered his head and closed his eyes.
"two."
Chen Si murmured: "This is a dream..."
"one."
The countdown ended, and a heart-wrenching scream pierced the silent night sky, scaring the birds in the forest away.
Chen Si covered his lower body and fell into the mud wailing.
There was blood on his hands.
Wen Yin stood at the edge of the pit, and suddenly a young man's hand covered her eyes.
"Sister, please stop looking."
A Wu transformed into a partial human form, blocked Wen Yin's sight with his hands, and pulled her back a few steps.
“So dirty.”
“It’s dirty.”
Wen Yin turned around and pulled away A Wu's hand that was blocking her view.
"Let's leave it at that for tonight. Let's go back."
"Okay, sister."
A Wu turned back into black mist, completely enveloping Wen Yin's body.
He looked back and saw Chen Si still lying at the bottom of the pit, covering his body and wailing. His body was twitching as if he was enduring great pain.
"What about him?"
"Let him stay there."
The moonlight was like water, illuminating the entire forest.
"The moonlight tonight is very beautiful and worth watching."
"OK."
A small black shadow broke away from A Wu, slipped into the bottom of the pit, and wrapped around the ankles of Chen Si, who was screaming, binding him there.
"Don't worry, sister. He won't get away."
After saying that, he gently rubbed Wen Yin's cheek in the dark.
"Sister, you must be tired. I'll take you back to sleep."
Wen Yin nodded, and the black shadow disappeared into the woods, leaving only Chen Si twitching at the bottom of the pit and his gradually weakening wailing.
-
Wen Yin had a rare good sleep and didn't wake up until noon.
Ah Wu rarely bothered her, and the two ghosts did not sneak into her room in the middle of the night.
When she woke up in the morning, she saw Awu turned into a puppy lying beside the bed, wagging his tail silently.
When he saw her open her eyes, he came over and licked her palm.
[028, How is Chen Si?]
Wen Yin touched the puppy's head and sat up from the bed.
[He was found at dawn and taken to the hospital.]
028 said the most crucial words.
[Not dead.]
[I wish I hadn't died.]
Wen Yin lifted the quilt and suddenly thought of something.
[Which hospital was he sent to? The one where Shen Sinian works?]
[It should be, after all, it is the closest.]
Wen Yin didn't say anything else. She got up, dressed and put on her shoes. When she was about to go out with her toiletries, her calves were hit several times by the happily wagging puppy's tail.
Wen Yin looked down at the black dog at his feet, then bent down and touched its head again.
"Awu, you don't have to watch over me. Go and have fun by yourself."
The puppy wagged its tail, whimpered like a spoiled child, and rubbed against Wen Yin's trouser leg. Finally, it turned into a black shadow and slipped away from the window sill.
[Host, is Ah Wu too obedient today?]
028 is a little confused.
[She's so obedient and cute that it's a little abnormal.]
[I want to touch its head.]
Wen Yin recalled what happened yesterday and opened the door.
[Maybe it thinks I'm a bit fierce and is afraid I'll kill it?]
028: [……]
It was almost noon, and Wen Yin went out only to find that the corridor was unusually quiet.
Although it is not noisy on weekdays, it is not completely silent either.
Wen Yin poked her head out to glance downstairs and finally saw a few residents, but they all looked serious and nervous, and just walked by in silence.
She took the washbasin to the bathroom and washed up briefly. After she finished cleaning up and went downstairs, she found that the doors of those residents were closed and it seemed that they had gone out again.
[Is Zhou He in the room?]
[Host, she is not here.]
028 took a look around and added: [There's basically no one in the entire building.]
[What was Chen Si's condition when he was discovered?]
[Did you say anything?]
[When he was discovered, he only unconsciously called out Song Wan's name a few times.]
[He didn't finish his words before he fainted again.]
As she spoke, Wen Yin stepped into the sunlight outside the building. The late autumn sunlight made her feel warm all over.
She looked up and squinted her eyes.
[Let’s go too and join in the fun.]
