Chapter 92
A few minutes later.
Downstairs, in Room 301.
The tall "brother" was staggering around in the kitchen preparing "dinner", with the faucet in front of him running, washing the dirty white mushroom threads in the vegetable basket.
In the bedroom at the other end of the room, Qiu Yufei's flat voice was constantly coming out from behind the door. The voice was not loud, but it was obviously dry and hoarse, and already full of fatigue:
"'Duoduo, I'm sorry for you.' The woman in front of her was crying, and the heavy makeup on her face was squeezed into a pile because of the dramatic expression. There was no longer the dignity of being a 'Mrs. Shangguan'. 'Come back, come home. Mom will compensate you well. Mom was wrong before, Mom listened to one side and believed it. Mom is sorry for you, I will never be like this again, never again...'
"Yang Duoduo looked at the crying woman in front of her, but did not speak for a long time.
"'How ridiculous.' She thought silently. It turned out that the 'mother' who looked at her coldly could also cry so ugly.
"'Let go, Madam Shangguan.' After an unknown amount of time, Yang Duoduo spoke softly, 'I don't have a mother, and that's not my home.' "
'A vicious, superficial and rude girl like you is not worthy of being a member of the Shangguan family.' 'Yang Duoduo, remember, blood relationship is not that important in my eyes. Xiaocha is my daughter who I raised. If you dare to touch her again, get out of the Shangguan family.'...
" 'Madam Shangguan, do you remember? You said these words yourself. Now I understand that, as you said, blood relationship is indeed not that important. '
"Yang Duoduo said, slowly pulling her skirt out from between Madam Shangguan's fingers: 'Please go back, Madam Shangguan. I am already kind enough not to have you kicked out directly. Please don't push your luck any further.'
"After saying that, Yang Duoduo walked away. There was no looking back. "
- Here, a chapter finally ended.
Qiu Yufei breathed a sigh of relief, then glanced at the low battery level in the upper right corner of her phone, and couldn't help but feel worried. Xu Ling on the side suddenly opened her eyes, but there was clearly some dissatisfaction in her eyes:
"Is it over again? It happened so quickly.
"Sister, please read the next chapter to me!"
"Okay, okay, Lingling, don't be anxious, wait a moment..." Qiu Yufei hurriedly said, and hurriedly picked up the water cup beside her and gulped down a few mouthfuls of water -
of course she knew that drinking too much water from the ghost story was not good, but she really had no choice now. She had read countless chapters of the novel to Xu Ling in a row. Anyway, in her memory, all the relatives who could be slapped in the face had been slapped by Yang Duoduo. Her throat was so tired that it was about to smoke, and she could feel obvious pain when she drank water and swallowed.
Xu Ling probably thought it was because she had just finished a small climax, and she didn't say anything when she saw this, but just pouted unhappily, lying on the bed and seriously recalling the plot just now. After a while, she suddenly spoke: "Sister, I don't quite understand."
"Huh?" Qiu Yufei hurriedly swallowed the water in her mouth, "What?"
"Why doesn't Yang Duoduo want her mother?" Xu Ling asked seriously, pausing for each word, "She would be so pitiful without a mother."
"Uh... maybe." Qiu Yufei choked, "The problem is, her mother is not good to her..."
"Then change a mother who is good to her." Xu Ling said, and suddenly sat up, "But although Mother Shangguan is very bad, she is beautiful. It's a pity to throw her away like this."
"If it were me, I would peel off her face, find a mother who is good to me, and sew her face on, then I would have a perfect mother!
Qiu Yufei: "..."
"Oh, by the way, the hands, feet and body must be kept as well. In case the new mother gets hurt somewhere, they can be replaced in time..."
Xu Ling spoke to herself. At the end, she was so excited that she almost jumped up from the bed. She looked at Qiu Yufei suddenly: "Sister, what do you think?"
"...Well." Qiu Yufei was speechless again. She paused for two seconds and spoke a little stiffly, "I think, this approach seems to be possible..."
"Right." Xu Ling smiled sweetly after getting the recognition. Suddenly, she tilted her head and looked fixedly at Qiu Yufei's throat, with a slight smile on her lips, "Speaking of this..."
"Sister, it seems that your throat should be replaced too."
"...! "
Qiu Yufei's breathing suddenly stagnated, and she subconsciously covered her neck. She was about to say something, but she saw Xu Ling's eyebrows curved, and she showed an innocent smile again.
"Just kidding, I know, my sister's throat is just tired from telling too many stories. Just drink more water and it will be fine!"
After saying that, she took the water cup towards Qiu Yufei. The latter took it tremblingly, and her fingertips were still a little cold: "Yes, yes, that's about it, it's not a big problem, it's not a big problem..." " Of
course it's not a big problem, I understand." Xu Ling said with a smile, took a children's book by herself, and leaned back on the headboard, "Sister has a problem, it's just this face."
"..." Qiu Yufei's action of drinking water paused again.
"But it doesn't matter, don't worry. I can get you a new face soon! "Xu Ling said confidently, and her tone sounded like it was encouraging and comforting.
Qiu Yufei almost couldn't breathe when she heard it.
How could I not be worried? I was worried because you said that! By the way, what about that face? Whose face does it value? Teacher Mingming's...
Qiu Yufei's thoughts were flying around, and the questions that kept coming up made her head hurt. She glanced at Xu Ling lying on the bed cautiously and fearfully, and spoke hesitantly. Just when she was about to ask more questions, she saw that the other party seemed to have noticed something, and suddenly put down the children's book in his hand, sat up suddenly -
and then began to scan the surroundings, his eyes widened, as if he had felt something extremely terrifying.
...No, that's not right. It's
not terror.
Qiu Yufei carefully observed its expression and made a judgment in her heart:
that look and tone were more like surprise than fear.
The kind of surprise that comes from walking on the road and suddenly finding that your phone is gone -
and soon, this surprise turned into obvious anger.
"...Bad guy." Qiu Yufei heard it curse in a low voice.
Immediately afterwards, the sound suddenly became louder, and the childish voice instantly became sharp -
"Bad guy, bad guy, bad guy, bad guy! That damn guy, that bad old woman! What did she do? Why are all the cables broken? Why are all my cables broken?"
By the end of the shout, the voice was so sharp that it sounded like a torn cloth, causing Qiu Yufei's eardrums to ache. She looked at the little girl in front of her in shock, who was so angry that she lost control. Finally, she couldn't help but step back. Her back hit something with a snap, and she felt a cold touch. She turned her head in surprise and met the lifeless eyes of her "brother".
"Huh." The "brother" raised his finger and made a gesture to her to keep quiet, and then quickly glanced at Xu Ling on the bed - the latter was hammering on the bed in anger, still shouting and screaming, and seemed to have paid no attention to them at all.
"Brother" blinked lightly, a little surprise appeared on his stiff face, and then he made up his mind and pushed Qiu Yufei's shoulder hard: "Let's go."
"Oh...oh!" Qiu Yufei was not stupid either. She nodded one second and rushed to the door the next second. Out of fear, after confirming that both of them ran out of the room, she did not forget to turn around and close the door to add an extra layer of insurance for herself. At the moment of closing the door, through the gap of the door, she could still see Xu Ling who was yelling angrily.
I don't know if it was Qiu Yufei's illusion. Obviously, the person was still the same person, but the figure seemed to be smaller than before.
Without thinking carefully, Qiu Yufei quickly closed the door. The moment she turned around, she met Xu Ling's cold eyes.
"Sister." It called Qiu Yufei softly, tilting its head slightly. It was still wearing the white dress, but it looked much more worn. "Where are you going?" "
The story is not over yet."
Qiu Yufei: "..."
Staring at the glass-like eyes, Qiu Yufei was suddenly stunned.
I should be scared. She thought silently.
The person who was in the room just now turned around and appeared behind me, staring at me with such a scary look... Logically, I should be scared. However,
not at all. I
didn't feel any fear at all. At most, I was stunned for a moment when my eyes met, but I soon calmed down...
I'm not afraid. I'm really not afraid at all.
... This fact itself made Qiu Yufei feel a little guilty. She couldn't help but reach out and touch her chest, feeling her heartbeat. After confirming that he was alive, he breathed a sigh of relief, but then he was filled with even deeper confusion.
On the other side, the "brother" who had already walked to the door finally realized that something was wrong and turned around with difficulty. When he saw Xu Ling standing in front of Qiu Yufei, a few traces of fear could not be restrained in his usually calm eyes. He then gritted his teeth, turned around with determination, and picked up a heavy chair from the side -
he could no longer leave. He knew this very well.
No matter how the situation turned, his own death could not be reversed, let alone the so-called "freedom".
In this case, why not grit your teeth and fight, at least to help the living people leave——
"Brother" gritted his teeth, trying to overcome the memories and fear that the girl forced to evoke in his chest, and raised the chair in his hand high towards Xu Ling.
At this moment, there was a "pop" sound——the girl's face was slapped hard to the side.
"Brother":...
"Brother":...?
" "Brother" was a little dumbfounded, maintaining the posture of holding the chair high, not knowing whether to put it down for a while.
Qiu Yufei was also a little dumbfounded, maintaining the posture of being forced into a pocket, looking at the little girl in front of her and then at her palm, with a blank face.
The most dumbfounded was Xu Ling, who was inexplicably slapped by her——she blinked, and a deep disbelief appeared in her eyes. The next second, it turned its neck in the opposite direction, and with a series of bone-crackling sounds, its face turned 270 degrees and turned back to the direction of Qiu Yufei in front of it.
When she raised her eyes again, her little face had become gloomy, her eyes rolled back, and in the white eyeballs, there seemed to be something like tadpoles swimming constantly.
It should have been a more terrifying scene. But
Qiu Yufei just frowned again.
Then she raised her hand tentatively - and slapped her again.
This time, she slapped harder, and directly slapped Xu Ling to the ground. Qiu Yufei's eyes widened even more, and she looked at her palm in disbelief, but her "brother" beside her had reacted, and quickly threw the chair away, stepped forward to grab her wrist, turned around and rushed to the door again.
"You are, how did you do it?" It couldn't help asking as it walked forward quickly, "Are you a psychic?"
"Ah? I'm not." Qiu Yufei followed it out the door, her mind still full of question marks, "I don't know, it wasn't like this before...ah!" When
she said this, she suddenly reacted: "But my friend is! She knows a lot about these!"
She now probably figured out that her ability to suddenly beat up spirits in the ghost stories before was inseparable from the "rules" established by Xu Ming. So now it should be the same situation. I
just don't know what kind of awesome rules Xu Ming used that can even erase the feeling of fear... If I can use this often in the future, I won't be afraid no matter which ghost story I go to.
Qiu Yufei thought silently, not realizing that she had already acquiesced to the fact that she would be involved in a strange conversation in the future. The "brother" on the side looked at her hesitantly, stretched out his hand and pushed her out forcefully -
while they were talking, they had already run to the entrance. He pushed Qiu Yufei out first, followed closely behind, and slammed the door shut with his backhand. Turning around, he was about to signal Qiu Yufei to hide on the opposite side first, but suddenly heard a heart-wrenching cry from behind the door!
The voice was like steel wire, sharp and piercing, deafening.
Along with the loud cry, the whole building seemed to shake, and the dirty white wall skin fell down. The "brother" instinctively covered his ears, and the next moment, he heard Qiu Yufei's angry curse!
It turned its head hurriedly and saw Qiu Yufei being grabbed by her hair. Her head tilted back in pain, her hands struggling in vain, and her face was slightly blue.
What was even more bizarre was that her hair was being lifted up.
"Brother" didn't understand what was going on at first, and just instinctively leaned towards Qiu Yufei. When he saw the situation behind her hair, his face turned pale in an instant.
——It was seen that it was a small hand that was grabbing Qiu Yufei's hair.
The small hand was hanging down from the ceiling, grabbing Qiu Yufei's hair tightly, and constantly pulling it up. Qiu Yufei didn't know what was going on, she just struggled hard, but it was useless:
she really didn't feel scared now. But it doesn't say that the brave is invincible.
"Brother" didn't dare to pull her hair or body, and could only try to pry open the hand that was holding her hair. The moment their skin touched, a familiar fear was naturally evoked, and it instantly crawled all over its body like ice, making it freeze in place, unable to move.
...Move. Move
quickly.
It looked at Qiu Yufei's face that was gradually lacking oxygen, and finally a bit of anxiety appeared in its eyes. However, it couldn't do it - one of the little girl's specialties was to evoke fear, and when an animal is wrapped in real fear, let alone move, sometimes even breathing is extremely difficult.
And just as it stared at Qiu Yufei nervously and thought quickly about countermeasures, it heard another click.
The room 302 opposite opened automatically.
The moment the door was opened, a familiar light shot out from behind it. The moment the light hit him, "Brother" clearly heard a scolding from above the hand - the fingers grabbing Qiu Yufei's hair were forced to let go, and Qiu Yufei took the opportunity to rush forward and fell to the ground. She turned her head and looked at the hand that stretched out from the ceiling, and suddenly she felt like scolding even more.
The next moment, the light shone on the twisted arm again. The arm fell to the ground like a rotten fruit, and with it fell the little girl in the white dress.
Xu Ling.
No one knew how it did it, and it was no exaggeration to say that it was elusive. It was naturally its hand that grabbed Qiu Yufei's arm just now. At this moment, it was standing in the corridor holding the little bear, looking at Qiu Yufei with a gloomy face.
Qiu Yufei was slightly annoyed by its gaze, and hurriedly moved a few steps diagonally to the back. So the flashlight shone more completely on Xu Ling, making its face even gloomier.
It looked at Qiu Yufei with resentment, and was about to say something aggrieved, but heard a voice not much more mature than hers suddenly rang out from behind the door of Room 302 -
"Monsters outside, please be careful, you are now surrounded by me!"
Panpan, who was hiding in Room 302, said, and carefully turned out from behind the door of Room 302, holding a lit small flashlight in her hand - this was actually a bit difficult for her, because her left arm was still in Room 301, and now she didn't even have a replacement.
"If you don't want to cause trouble, retreat quickly!" She shone the flashlight on Xu Ling as much as possible, trying to pretend to be very imposing, "Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"
"..." Xu Ling didn't say anything for a while.
It just stood there, enduring the strong discomfort brought by the light, and staring at Panpan standing in the door frame of 302.
After a while, it seemed to realize something, and its expression relaxed. When looking at the surrounding light, it even had time to slightly curl the corners of its lips.
A slightly mocking smile appeared.
"..." The "brother" who had been observing its expression immediately realized that something was wrong, helped Qiu Yufei up and rushed towards 302. However, before reaching the door, he realized a very bad fact.
I saw that the word "Fu" pasted on the door of 302, for some reason, had lost a corner.
The top part drooped down limply, and it seemed that it no longer had any stickiness.
The problem is, this is not an ordinary "Fu" character, this one has a defensive function.
Now half of it has inexplicably fallen off, can it still be used?
"Brother" couldn't be sure of the answer. It only knew that Xu Ling, who was imprisoned by the light, had also noticed this, and the smile on her face suddenly became more obvious.
"Sister. And brother." It spoke softly, and its tone was even sweeter than before, "Do you want to play a guessing game?"
"Let's guess together, how long can these things trap me?"
