It revealed the flesh and blood beneath, which had already been greedily devoured and riddled with holes.
In despair, she let out one last scream and jumped from the high-rise building.
Zhao Li stood downstairs, looking at the mangled mess of flesh, and expressionlessly retrieved the empty bottle.
"A beautiful appearance is a dime a dozen, but an interesting soul is one in a million."
Unfortunately, most people can only see the physical appearance, but cannot smell the stench of a rotting soul.
"Next."
The chapter ends abruptly.
"call--"
Ye Xi suddenly looked up from the screen.
I realized that I was covered in a cold sweat without even noticing.
The music room was very warm, but she felt a chill down her spine.
That fear didn't come from ghosts or monsters, but from reality.
The girl in the dream weaver's story, with her madness in her pursuit of beauty at all costs...
The despair of being pushed step by step into the abyss by desire is so real.
It felt so real, like it was happening right next to her.
"This dream weaver is a complete freak..."
Ye Xi murmured to herself, but her eyes were filled with shock.
"But he laid too bare human nature."
She calmed herself down, and her fingers habitually slid down.
I want to see how the silly netizens "protect" themselves in the comments section.
However, the comments section today has a strangely bizarre tone.
Gone are the jokes and banter of the past. Gone are the jokes and banter of the past.
The first top comment,
It was posted by a netizen with the ID "Jiangcheng Baixiaosheng" and consisted of only one picture and one sentence.
The image is a screenshot from a newspaper, with the headline circled in red:
A female college student in Nanjing fell to her death late at night, burdened with millions of yuan in "cosmetic loans."
[Bai Xiaosheng]: Brothers, I'm getting goosebumps.
This news just appeared in the newspaper this morning, squeezed into the margins of the Jiangsu Provincial Daily.
Is this chapter by Dream Weaver... a coincidence?
The comments under this post have already piled up to thousands of layers high.
【一蓑腸雨】: Holy crap! When I was reading the news, I just thought that girl was stupid, but after reading this chapter, I suddenly understood that kind of despair.
This isn't a novel, it's documentary literature!
[Night Watchman]: If you look closely at the time of the news report, it happened last night.
The Dream Weaver's update time is tonight.
In other words, he wrote this chapter as soon as the news broke?
The speed, the concept... it's terrifying to think about.
[Netizen]: I noticed that too!
The news report said that the girl had been using an unknown, substandard skincare product before her death, which claimed to be able to rejuvenate her skin. However, she ended up taking out a loan because her face was ruined.
This is exactly the same as the "fox spirit medicine" in the book!
[Passerby A]: Who exactly is the dream weaver? Does he live at the crime scene? Or...?
Ye Xi's heart skipped a beat as she looked at the comments.
She quickly switched to her reading app and opened her browser to search for the news article.
Sure enough, there was a deluge of reports.
The time, place, cause of death, and even the girl's mental state before her death,
All of them have a striking resemblance to the descriptions in the novel.
The only difference is,
In novels, it's fox spirits claiming lives; in reality, it's loan sharks harassing people.
But what is the essential difference between these two?
They all exploit people's greed, promising false beauty, and in the end, devouring them completely, skin and bones.
"This can't just be a coincidence..."
Ye Xi's fingers, gripping the phone, turned slightly white.
If it were just to ride the wave of popularity, such a profound core message couldn't have been written.
That compassion for the dead, and the critique of society's morbid aesthetics,
This is something that a web novel writer who only knows how to type words could never achieve.
This "dream weaver from hell" has an incredibly sharp eye.
Ye Xi suddenly felt a strong urge to find someone to confide in about the shock she had experienced.
She opened WeChat and found the pinned chat window with a profile picture of a dark starry sky.
[Beethoven on the run]: Master Lin! Are you there? [Peeking.jpg]
[Beethoven on the run]: Go read the new chapter of "The Ferryman"! And today's "Jiangsu Daily"!
[Beethoven on the run]: How could there be such a coincidence in this world?
