Chapter 20 Mother's Nightmare (10)
Before she knew it, Lin Chujiu had finished reading her recent diary. She didn't know how much time had passed when she suddenly came to her senses and realized that her face was already covered in tears.
She thought of her mother in the real world.
Although her mother was unreliable, she had still raised her with great care and hardship.
Lin Chujiu felt a pang of sadness as she read the story, biting her lower lip to stop herself from crying out loud.
Jiang Chaoyu sensed the commotion outside the door.
The little idiot inside is crying.
She cried so pitifully, and because he was outside, she didn't dare to cry out loud.
Jiang Chaoyu, who had just calmed down, felt her heart clench with pain, just like her tears.
"What a mess," Jiang Chaoyu sighed, but ultimately decided not to disturb them.
At this moment, what she needed was not comfort from this stranger, but a space to freely release her emotions.
After a long while, Lin Chujiu went out, and Jiang Chaoyu once again felt the fluctuations of that terrifying system emanating from her.
It seems she really is leaving.
Jiang Chaoyu felt a little regretful for some reason.
Oh well, she'll definitely still have to participate in dungeons in the future. As long as she's in the Horror World, he'll find her.
No, why is he looking for her?
Jiang Chaoyu felt that something was wrong with her lately. What was wrong with her these past two days? Why was she acting so awkwardly?
After leaving the house, Lin Chujiu carefully reviewed the progress of her understanding of the truth.
90%.
The mother turned into a pig spirit because she was earning tuition fees for her child.
However, she was still not very clear about the details of how she turned into a pig demon, or why the pig demon wanted to kill her.
So the progress is only 90%, but that crucial 10% is of paramount importance.
Lin Chujiu closed her eyes, exhaled a long breath, and tried to calm the lingering sadness in her heart.
Whether intentionally designed to align with her original world or not, the characters in this instance are actually somewhat similar to her story in the real world.
Lin Chujiu originally only wanted to find some clues and figure out how to survive the next seven days, but after learning about this story, she wanted to do something for this mother.
It's like wanting to do something for your mother.
Lin Chujiu felt that the key to the truth might lie in the process of her mother turning into a pig demon.
The pig spirit has been appearing these past two nights, so it should appear again tonight.
Lin Chujiu studied anxiously in her room all day, and sure enough, her mother returned in the evening.
To be precise, it seems that it wasn't "Mom" who came back.
It was something that took over the mother's body.
It is—pig semen.
It looked even more terrifying tonight. Last night it was just fat with protruding fat bumps, but tonight it was fatter than Lin Chujiu had ever expected.
The fat was growing everywhere, making it difficult to walk. Last night, the skin covering the fat granules cracked open, and the fat granules hung out, dripping out like pus or maggots as they moved.
It was so fat that its clothes were stretched taut, revealing piles of fat covered with bluish-gray skin. Its blood vessels had turned completely black, and its whole body emitted an extremely foul, fishy stench. If a medical student were here, they would think it looked like necrotizing fasciitis.
It seemed even more powerful tonight, and as soon as it entered the house, it went after Lin Chujiu.
"Jiu Jiu... open the door." Its speech seemed much smoother than yesterday, but its voice was even higher and thinner, and it occasionally seemed to be struggling to breathe, as if fat was compressing its vocal cords.
Lin Chujiu stayed uneasily inside the room, pretending that no one was there.
Jiang Chaoyu stayed by her side while she did her homework, which was at Lin Chujiu's insistence.
Jiang Chaoyu looked up from the book "Strange Tales" on the table, her gaze towards the pig spirit filled with a mixture of resentment and relief.
He hated reading the most. He used to study hard to make a living, but ever since he became a clerk in the underworld, he has never liked reading again.
So when Lin Chujiu asked him to read, he was extremely unwilling, but now, hearing the monster's voice, he felt inexplicably excited.
Wonderful! Finally, I don't have to read books anymore!
Lin Chujiu looked up from her book, ran anxiously to Jiang Chaoyu's side, and hugged his hand.
Jiang Chaoyu looked up, her eyes filled with confusion, but a nameless emotion was growing wildly within her.
Ignoring his questioning gaze, Lin Chujiu held his hand tightly.
Ever since witnessing his incredible prowess last night, Lin Chujiu has decided to cling to him.
She looked at the hands she was holding in her arms, her gaze growing increasingly resolute.
These aren't ordinary hands; these are golden hands, these are golden thighs!
The pig spirit outside didn't knock on the door tonight, which Lin Chujiu found strange. Then she heard the pig spirit outside the door say in a sinister tone:
"Open the door... Jiu Jiu, I know... you're inside."
Lin Chujiu's body stiffened for a moment. She turned her head uneasily toward the door, her eyes seemingly meeting those of the pig demon outside.
Lin Chujiu could feel the terrifying pressure even through the door, but for some reason, after staying next to Jiang Chaoyu, the pressure seemed to lessen a little.
There was even a faint sense of comfort about it.
Lin Chujiu looked at Jiang Chaoyu questioningly, "What should we do?"
Jiang Chaoyu shook his head, intending to pull his hand away to open the door, but unexpectedly Lin Chujiu hugged him even tighter in the next instant.
Moreover, the softness that pressed against his arm struck him at that moment.
Jiang Chaoyu's brain went blank for a moment. He was at a loss for what to do for two seconds before decisively shaking off Lin Chujiu's hand.
Lin Chujiu was a little dazed when she was pushed away, but then she realized what was happening and her face turned bright red instantly!
Holding onto something is a habit she's had since childhood, especially when she feels insecure. She'll hold on as tightly as possible. Jiang Chaoyu's attempt to leave just now was a signal of unease to her, and Lin Chujiu panicked, which is why she crossed the line.
Lin Chujiu was a little uneasy. She was worried that her brother would hate her and stop letting her cling to his coattails.
Outside the door, the pig demon's voice rang out again:
"Jiu Jiu... open the door! Not opening the door isn't being a good child..."
Lin Chujiu was so frightened that she grabbed Jiang Chaoyu's hand again. She didn't care anymore; a thigh is meant to be hugged, and she would hug it for as long as she could.
When faced with fate, all those empty formalities are nothing.
Lin Chujiu gripped his hand even tighter, clinging to him tightly to prevent him from escaping again.
Jiang Chaoyu was speechless and closed his eyes.
He wasn't sure if his superiors had seen his actions yesterday in rescuing her, and if he rescued her again today, he might get criticized.
However, not many people in the underworld dare to criticize him now, and more importantly, she can't hide behind him forever.
Jiang Chaoyu thought for two seconds.
He then decisively opened the door, grabbed Lin Chujiu who was still in a daze, and threw her out!
Lin Chujiu: !
