Chapter 35: The Best Brother in the World 9

“Chuchu, why do you think there are human traffickers in this world? It’s not too much to cut those people to pieces.”

At Yichuan University, several girls were eating in the canteen. One of them, like most Chinese college students of this age, had the habit of not forgetting to swipe her mobile phone while eating. She angrily said after watching the top-searching news in the past two days.

“You’re talking about the case in Li County. I didn’t expect that those traffickers were so close to us. It’s truly shaming to us, the Yichuans.” A girl echoed, apparently not watching this news these days.

“Hey, but have you heard?” The girl who had just started the topic whispered close to their ears.

“What did you hear?”

“It’s said that the reason that the man named Lin Youde killed so many people was because of revenge by the female ghost. Also that the people caught by the police that day went crazy and attacked each other. They were all bloody, and their photos got published in the newspaper. Where can normal people do something like this?”

This was a widely spread supernatural speculation on the Internet, who made this case so mysterious from the beginning?

On that day, some top hackers did not find the person who made the post. If the person taking the photos was at the scene, they should get discovered by the villagers around. The only explanation was that it was a ghost who took the pictures.

“Pop!”

Yu Chuchu’s hold on her spoon was not stable and fell on the plastic lunch box. She was pale and sweating.

“Is it scares you, Chuchu?”

The girl, Li Yi, who just spoke, looked at her expression and put her hand on her shoulder.

“If you didn’t do something bad for others, you shouldn’t be afraid of ghosts knocking at your door in the middle of the night. Even if it’s the female ghost’s revenge, it’s also for those who killed her. This is called to suffer the consequences of one’s bad deeds. We didn’t do anything harmful, so don’t be afraid even if you meet a ghost girl.”

Li Yi’s brother was a policeman. If she were not too short to be admitted to a police academy, she would not go to an average university. As a policeman’s younger sister, Li Yi was full of hatred. The most hated person in her life was those drug traffickers, □□ traffickers, and other villains.

“I’m full. You all enjoy your meal.”

Yu Chuchu smiled reluctantly, picked up the lunch box she had not touched, and left in a hurry.

“What’s the idea? She looks like a ghost is truly chasing her.” A chubby girl murmured, “If it weren’t for the self-introduction at the beginning of the school, I would think her family was in Li County, with such a guilty look on her.”

These four girls were all from the same dorm, and everyone came from all parts of the country, there were some differences in their daily and eating habits. This chubby girl was called Xu Shuang. She was a little fat because of taking medicine. She was not satisfied with the bamboo pole-like Yu Chuchu, who always said in front of her to lose weight.

“Xu Shuang, maybe Chuchu is indeed unwell. Let’s go to the dormitory to see her after dinner.”

Li Yi felt that Xu Shuang’s words were a little too much. Although Yu Chuchu was a little pampered, she was not that kind of villain either. What a feud she was to tie a good girl with those people in Li County.

Xu Shuang pulled the corners of her mouth, that was to speak, in front of Li Yi, the famous elder sister in the dormitory, she did not say any spiteful words about Yu Chuchu again in the end.

“Are you blind or something?”

Yu Chuchu was not in the mood to wash her lunch box. She directly threw those meals into the kitchen waste bin. Along the way, she held her mobile phone and kept swiping the news about the women rescued in Li County and its surrounding areas these days.

For these female victims, the government kept everything confidential because the exposure on the Internet was likely to cause secondary harm to them. However, there was a group of reporters who had no bottom line and only pursued the exposure. They used various means to find out the women abducted to Li County, publish their naked photos, their places of origin, and their miserable life experience after being abducted and sold, and finally expressed regret and lamentation to them.

Those people managed to escape from the nest of devils with great difficulty, but they were once again disturbed by such a group of journalists who thought they were “kind.” Many people would point out that the girl was sold by the traffickers to be a wife and gave birth to two sons. What a pity.

Most people indeed sympathized with them, but some people were doing*2doing*from 干 [gàn] that can mean as to do or to f*ck (vulgar) the devil’s actions under their human skin.

God, why do they still have the courage to live? If it’s me, I might as well kill myself.

It’s disgusting. It’s dirty to have children with that kind of man.

Is there anyone else willing to marry this kind of woman? Anyway, I don’t want to. They’re just a few hand goods.

Some could not stand many kinds of remarks. Sometimes, the poor girls who got abducted, trafficked, and raped, not killed by criminals. But the straw that truly broke them down was the malicious attacks from strangers.

Yu Chuchu browsed the information published by those “great” newspapers and did not find the familiar figure in the pictures of the rescued women.

She was both happy and worried.

Happiness might be different from her previous speculation. Yan Yin was not taken away by those traffickers. She was worried about the reason why she did not see Yan Yin’s picture because she had died. Since she died, of course, she might not be published in that news.

Because she kept seeing the news, she accidentally bumped into a person when she went back to the dormitory and caused the other’s swearing.

If she had left before, Yu Chuchu would certainly have reasoned with the other party, but now she was not in that mood, and she did not say an apology. She glanced at the white girl and hurried upstairs and returned to the bedroom.

Now, many posts thought this case was related to the supernatural.

Because on the day when the media besieged the police station, there were many ambulances from outside the police station, and stretchers sent out from the police station. The people above them were all bleeding and wailing, and these people merely got arrested.

In the beginning, some people suspected that the police had used their selfishness, and a group of well-known people, who thought that everyone was drunk and woke up alone, believed that this was the reason why their country’s law lagged behind the developed countries. After a wave of existence on the Internet, they knew that the police station was under pressure to release a part of the less bloody situation at that time, and then blocked the mouth of the vast majority of people.

But also because of these videos, let the female ghost revenge, this theory spread everywhere.

The more she saw these posts, the more frightened she was. She was very superstitious about these things. So far, she had a string of bracelets from the Taoist temple, a protective talisman. Looking at this bizarre case, she believed that there might indeed be ghosts in this world.

She went back to her bedroom and took some of the protective talismans she had bought before. When she was about to turn around and went out, she saw a pair of feet stained with mud and blood in front of her eyes.

She was shaking. She was trembling. She was shivering.

Yu Chuchu’s teeth were rattling, and her face was bloodless, for she saw the familiar nail polish’s color and style on those ash-gray feet with the wounds.

It was in the first week after the college entrance examination ended, she dragged Yan Yin to do it. At that time, Yan Yin was shy. She used her birthday as her reason, and she dyed the same nail polish with Yan Yin.

After Yan Yin disappeared, she washed the nail polish off.

The part of her eyes filled with black and gray air, from her instep to her upper legs covered with dense biting wounds. The white bone was distinctly visible, with blood and **, which would never be the legs of a living person.

Yu Chuchu did not dare to look up. She did not know what kind of scene she would see when she looked up.

She was, as crazy as she was, lying on her stomach, crying, and screaming towards the bedroom door. She died and became a ghost to seek revenge on them.

She turned the doorknob, but she could not open it at all. She banged the door vigorously. At this time, no one seemed to hear anything strange from the bedroom corridor.

Yu Chuchu regretted why she wanted to get separated from Li Yi. If four people were together, the female ghost might not come out.

“Wa— don’t come to me. Bai Mei proposed that game. At that time, I said to call the police, but they were all worried that your family will trouble us if you have an accident. We just finished the college entrance examination, and our life is just beginning.”

Yu Chuchu shrank into a ball, covered her eyes with her hands, and cried.

“If you want revenge, go to find Bai Mei. And Xu Ze, he liked you so Bai Mei came up with such a game to ridicule you. We just thought it was fun, didn’t expect you to have an accident. Yinyin, I’m your best friend, don’t hurt me.”

“Besides, I secretly used my new mobile phone card to tell your big brother that you may be in Li County. He should go to see you. Yinyin, I truly know it’s wrong. I didn’t mean to. Please forgive me.”

“Game, what game?”

The hoarse female voice was creepy to listen to, but it seemed that there were some mechanical sounds, not knowing if it was an illusion or not.

Yu Chuchu did not have time to think about these problems at all. The tragedy of the villagers in the newspapers and magazines still flashed back and forth in her mind. She was only 19 years old. She could not imagine how ugly it would be if her face, arms, and thighs were full of pot-holes from being bitten off.

“It was Bai Mei. When we arrived at Yandu near Li County that day, wasn’t it on her birthday? She said that she wanted to see if you, the great genius who jumped grades, would be clever after being drunk, so she made you drink a fruity cocktail without telling you until you were drunk, then… then…”

Yu Chuchu was crying. She also drank too much that day and was encouraged by Bai Mei. She also thought the prank was amusing. Yan Yin was close to her family, who played together when they were children. They did not get in touch until her family moved. Unexpectedly, Yan Yin would jump to her third year in high school. They were in the same class, so they resumed contact.

At that time, Yan Yin did not have a friend in the class. She brought her into her circle. Among those people, she was the one she trusted the most.

“Then we put you outside the hotel and ran away. We thought it was the lobby of the hotel. We’ll only leave for half an hour to see if you can find the room we’ve booked if you’re drunk. If you can’t find it, we’ll come down to find you again. Who knows that you’re gone? The hotel’s surveillance just broke down. We don’t know who took you away.”

Yu Chuchu burst into tears. She was indeed frightened when she heard that people in several impoverished counties near Yandu, especially in Li County, had a bad habit of buying a daughter-in-law to have children. At that time, she proposed to call the police.

But Bai Mei said that if the police knew what they were doing, they would tell Yan Yin’s parents and brother, and then if they went to the media to expose, their lives would be destroyed.

Not to mention that Yan Yin might not have an accident, but she was taken away by a good Samaritan, or she woke up because she was angry with their prank and went home alone, which was not impossible.

With this fluke mentality and selfishness in mind, they hurriedly ended their journey, and then went back to their respective homes. After knowing Yan Yin’s disappearance, they all agreed to separate Yan Yin’s disappearance from them under the previously negotiated words.

Yu Chuchu thought it was a game. She honestly did not want to kill Yan Yin.

“Yu Chuchu, what are you doing sitting on the ground?”

Li Yi hurried back to her bedroom after dinner. When she opened the door, she saw Yu Chuchu shrinking and crying in the corner of her bedroom. She asked in surprise.

Where was Yan Yin?

Yu Chuchu heard the familiar voice and raised her head uneasily. At this time, it was her three roommates standing in front of her. Where was the shadow of the ghost?

Was everything just her delusion?

Yu Chuchu madly pushed Li Yi and others away and rushed out. Bai Mei caused this incident. She was the one who should get punished the most.
