The ghost story that appeared in this chapter was adapted from a short story by Kyusaku Mengye — The Hanging Corpse. If there was any similarity, then it was not a coincidence.
…
"In the end, the woman fell into the puddle?" The shadow interrupted Feng Bujue at that moment and asked this question.
"Huh? You've heard of it before? "Feng Bujue asked.
"I want to hear a story that can scare me, not a lame joke." The shadow replied.
"Hmm …" Feng Bujue sighed deeply. "Then I'll change it." He had plenty of such stories in his head. Even if he was asked to come up with hundreds of them, he wouldn't be able to answer the question. "You want to scare me, right …?" He thought to himself. But then again, this guy is obviously a ghost himself, but he wants me to tell him a ghost story. This ridiculous joke is really …
This time, Feng Bujue was going to be more serious. The shorter the story, the better, and it had to be scary. With limited space, using the power of words to make others feel scared was actually quite difficult.
"That day, I was sitting on a bench in the park." "There was a fountain before my eyes. I watched the water column rise high into the air and fall … The clear sky of the evening made me feel rather chilled." Translator: Lonelytree Editor: Millman97 "Translator: Lonelytree Editor: Millman97" There was a fountain before my eyes.
The shadow listened to Feng Bujue's story without saying a word. From a bystander's perspective, Brother Bujue was really into the role. The way he referred to himself as' I 'was quite convincing.
"As I listened to the sound of the water flowing from the fountain, I opened the few evening papers that were beside me. But no matter which newspaper it was, there was nothing that I was looking forward to. "
Feng Bujue exhaled a puff of white mist. "About two weeks ago, a girl's body was exposed in an abandoned house in the countryside. I'm looking for news reports about this." A strange smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. "I've been in love with this girl for some time … I remember that day, it was also in the evening. She came to meet me for a rendezvous. She had a peach petal-shaped hairstyle and was wearing a school uniform and a short skirt … She was so beautiful that I almost couldn't breathe."
At this point, Feng Bujue's eyes were burning with passion. His breathing became hurried, and the corner of his lips twitched. "So … almost subconsciously, I led her to an empty house near the highway and strangled the panicked girl to death." He paused for a moment and widened his eyes to meet the shadow's gaze. "That made me feel relieved … If I didn't do that, I would've gone crazy, ha … ha ha …" He chuckled. There was a sense of satisfaction in his laughter as if he was still savoring the pleasure of that moment.
"I took off her belt and hung her from the roof beam. I made it look like she had committed suicide by hanging." Feng Bujue continued, "Although I went home as if nothing had happened, from that day onwards, I would come to this park every evening and buy two or three different evening papers. I would sit on the bench and read them …"
Feng Bujue sneered. "'Young girl hanged herself', I was looking forward to seeing this headline." He suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed at the air beside him, as though there was really something there. "Suddenly, I saw it. On the ground beside my feet, there was a newspaper. It was an old newspaper that someone had discarded. In the middle of one of the pages, there were three big headlines. Those words shot into my eyes like electricity …
Unidentified body in empty house.
In an abandoned house near the highway, the remains of a body that had been dead for about two weeks was found.
The deceased was a young man dressed up as a company employee. "
Feng Bujue's face was as scary as a ghost's. "I grabbed the newspaper and ran out of the park like a madman. I came to the highway and stood in front of the abandoned house.
I looked around frantically to make sure that no one had been to this crime scene before I opened the door and went in …
It was dark inside the house. I fumbled around until I found the room where the body was hanging. I lit a match to take a look … "
Feng Bujue used the flashlight to shine on his face and leaned forward. "The belt was hanging from the roof beam, and my body was hanging there. At the same time, from the darkness behind me, I heard the girl's voice. "
"Oh, hehehehe … You've finally come back to find me …" Feng Bujue's story came to an abrupt end.
His expression changed almost a second later and returned to his usual expression. "How was it?"
"Er …" The blue light in the shadow's eyes dimmed. "I think the change in you is even scarier than the plot of the story …"
"Cut the crap!" Feng Bujue pulled out his gun again. "Since I entered this place, I have wasted seven to eight minutes. The total time is now twenty-six minutes. If you still want me to continue …" The latter half of his sentence was, 'If you still want to hear more, listen to the gunshot.'
"Fine, I'll take you to the prison cell." The shadow did not wait for Feng Bujue to finish. He raised a finger. "Don't worry about what you're going to see. It's harmless, so don't try to struggle."
The NPC's warning was indeed necessary. If he did not warn Feng Bujue beforehand, Feng Bujue would definitely put up a fierce fight against the situation that was about to happen …
The next second, a spot of white light lit up on the shadow's fingertip. The light slowly turned into a ball of light. Then, numerous strange little things swam out from the ball of light. The color and texture of these things were like boiled eggs without shells, but their size and shape were closer to insect larvae, the pale and ugly larvae …
Their numbers increased, and they swam in a circle like a whirlpool. Even though they moved in a group, each individual appeared to have their own consciousness. These translucent, soft, milky white creatures chased after each other and consumed each other … It looked chaotic, but in reality, there was an order within the chaos.
Feng Bujue felt like he was looking at a drop of water under a microscope, but he did not study it for long before something terrible happened. These things swam over from the air and started to circle around Feng Bujue. They became denser and faster …
They started to come into contact with Feng Bujue's body. They wriggled on his body and gathered … until they covered his whole body. His eyes, ears, mouth, and nose were all covered.
Just as Feng Bujue felt that the situation was getting out of control and suspected that he had been tricked … He suddenly felt the pressure around him loosen, and the chill disappeared. Even though his eyes were closed, he could feel the environment before him brightening up.
He opened his eyes and saw …
