That thing hasn’t left!

Zhao Mingyue’s pupils shrank, and her body, which had just relaxed, tensed up again.

The game is over, isn’t it? Why is this happening? Could it be that the game is only responsible for summoning the ghosts but not for sending them away?

She could be certain that the sneaky male voice was the thing that had been calling her name and banging on the door earlier. From the beginning, she felt that the voice was familiar, but she just couldn’t remember where she had heard it.

Because during the game, it was vague and not very clear, but now that the voice has become clear, a thin man’s figure emerged in her mind.

She knew who the ghost outside was, no wonder she found the voice familiar, and no wonder the other party knew her name.

She remembered when she first moved here half a year ago, the upstairs neighbor kindly helped her and brought her suitcase into the room. At first, she also thought that this middle-aged uncle was quite nice, although unkempt, with a strong smell of tobacco and alcohol, but he was still decent.

However, a month later, she changed her mind.

One night, she happened to be at a friend’s house, and when she came back, it was already past eleven o’clock. As soon as she went upstairs, she saw someone standing at her door, seemingly peering inside. When they heard her footsteps, they hurriedly ran away.

And this person was the upstairs neighbor who had helped her move her luggage.

After that, every night at eleven-thirty, she could see the man’s face through the peephole in the door. Once, just as she was peering out, she saw an eye full of blood vessels.

She had already called the police by then, being watched like this for three consecutive days, she was very scared. When the police came, due to lack of evidence, they just gave the man a few words of warning and left.

On the fourth day, the man did not appear again, and it was like this for a month. However, every night at twelve o’clock, she could hear coughing sounds coming from upstairs.

After a whole month, that night she heard rustling sounds outside the door again, and sure enough, the man was peering outside. His complexion had become very poor, his eyes were frighteningly red, and his skin was ashen without any blood color, like a dead man’s face, but it disappeared in a flash.

The next day, the police came, not because she called them but because the landlord did.

That day, the police carried out a highly decomposed corpse from upstairs, it was that man, and the suspected cause of death was alcohol poisoning.

“It’s him, it must be him!”

Zhao Mingyue hugged the rabbit doll and retreated to the corner of the wall.

The mirror behind her cracked, and at some point, a man’s figure appeared in the mirror.

This was not the worst situation. The worst part was that the perspective of the mirror seemed to be the bathroom door because behind the man was the corridor connecting the living room to the bathroom, so Zhao Mingyue couldn’t be sure whether the ghost would come out of the mirror or from behind the door.

Death is not the most desperate thing, the most desperate is the process of waiting for death.

“Thump! Thump! Thump!”

The banging on the door started again, accompanied by the violent shaking of the mirror. Through the mirror, one could see the man crazily pounding on the mirror surface, and the resentful voice squeezed out from between his teeth came from all directions.

“If you don’t answer me, I’m coming in!”

The man in the mirror was no longer just a dark shadow, that highly decomposed, cyanotic face was almost pressed against the mirror surface. Due to the decay of his lips, when he looked up, the rotten flesh stuck to the mirror surface, and Zhao Mingyue could see most of his gum, those yellow teeth that were almost black were shaking in front of her eyes.

His black cotton pajamas were full of dark red bloodstains and nauseating vomit, and underneath it seemed like there were patches of maggots wriggling.

His eyeballs had already dissolved, and he hit his head on the mirror. The mirror trembled and was full of cracks, cutting the man’s horrifying face into hundreds of pieces, and at the same time, the door was knocked open a crack.

All this happened too quickly, Zhao Mingyue backed up against the corner of the wall.

Fear was real, but her mind was especially calm at this time.

She had been like this since she was a child, the more critical the situation, the calmer she became.

Unfortunately, no matter how calm she was, it was useless. The bathroom window could not be climbed through, and the door was blocked. In the small space, let alone weapons, the only thing she could hold in her hand was the toilet plunger at the corner of the wall.

It’s also funny to say, the only thing that could bring her a little sense of security was the rabbit doll in her hand.

And she knew that this thing was another fierce ghost’s prop.

She now had two choices, one was to deal with the fierce ghost and look for an opportunity to rush out of the bathroom, and the other was to throw the doll in her hand out the moment the ghost entered the door, to let them “ghost fight ghost”. ¹

“Are you there, I’m coming in……”

The decaying man grabbed the door panel, and with a creak, he pushed the door open. Just as the door was pushed open, a bloodstained doll was thrown at him.

The middle-aged male ghost was stunned for a moment, only to see the doll freeze in mid-air as if caught by an invisible person.

Zhao Mingyue was planning to find an opportunity to rush out. The moment the doll was thrown, she felt the temperature in the bathroom drop sharply, and the weather in June made her feel icy cold to the bone!

Just as she thought, in the bathroom, the figure of “the third person” appeared.

With a bang, the bathroom door was shut tight, and thin bloodstains like pencil leads began to appear from the corner of the bathroom wall, crawling up the walls from the cracks in the floor.

It was the silhouette of a young girl’s body, a white dress, slender and elegant, with long black hair hanging down to her waist, like a ballet dancer, or a noble white swan. Just from this back view, Zhao Mingyue had a ridiculous thought in her heart.

This female ghost, her front, no, she must have been beautiful when she was alive…

The reason she thought it was a female ghost and not a girl was that in addition to the perfect figure, the skin exposed outside the white dress was covered with black lines, which were particularly obvious on the pale skin, like a piece of porcelain full of cracks.

Bai Yu took a half step forward, and strands of black mist spilled out from her body, which was like tangible resentment.

Under the black hair, the crimson eyes looked at the middle-aged male ghost at the door, and the horrifying and terrifying appearance could not bring her any emotions other than disgust.

Raising her right hand, her slender fingers clenched, she looked at her little fist.

The body of the fierce ghost was much weaker than she had imagined, not even one percent of her original body.

While Bai Yu was feeling her new body, the middle-aged male ghost unconsciously took a half step back. He wanted to go out, but the door behind him was already covered with bloodstains.

“Ghost…”

The ethereal voice came from Bai Yu’s mouth, and her raised right hand was wrapped with a thick chain with spikes under the attachment of the black mist, making her entire arm look no longer frail and weak.

Bang!

The little fist shot out like an arrow, dragging the black mist with it. The middle-aged male ghost didn’t even have time to react and was punched straight through the chest, shattering half of his body.

He let out a pig-like scream, and his mind was no longer on Zhao Mingyue. He jumped up and tried to run through the wall, but as soon as he jumped, his ankle was pierced by a spiked chain and was dragged down harshly.

Bai Yu coldly stared at him, “Why are you running?”

This brutal scene was witnessed by Zhao Mingyue hiding in the corner.

Her throat rolled, and she even felt a bit of regret in her heart.

One ghost was already so terrifying, and she seemed to have summoned an even more vicious one…

1. 鬼打鬼, literally “ghost fight ghost”, might be a reference to a 1980 movie 鬼打鬼 (Encounters of the Spooky Kind) idk lol
