Chapter 49

“Why…why…?”

A sound akin to the prattle of small kids when they had a toothache echoed out. Xia Bing, who was lying on the ground, was bleeding from her seven apertures. Her expression was twisted as she glared at Lin Wu. While she was crawling toward him slowly, she continued to prattle on:

“Why is it always her?”

“Why does she want to kill me after she died?”

“Why doesn’t she spare me although I’ve already died?”

“Why am I not allowed to do so when I just want to keep Ah Ning company?”

“Why…?”

“Why…?”

“Why…?”

She dragged her twisted body and broken legs and used the strength of her hands, crawling toward Lin Wu. The fresh blood on her hands caused her palm to be printed on the ground. A trail of blood appeared behind her.

Lin Wu gritted his teeth and forced himself to calm down. He slowly shifted to the side, while his eyes stared at Xia Bing who was crawling on the ground.

It was impossible for ghosts to fall to their death.

Ordinary ghosts were the same as ordinary humans. At most, their faces would be more illusory and pale.

However, Xia Bing’s expression grew increasingly contorted. She could no longer speak a complete sentence and only knew how to repeat the word ‘why’. Clearly, she had lost all her rationale, and her resentment aura increased a lot. Also, her appearance became even more miserable.

Maybe her resentment toward Pei Jianing caused her to re-enact the process of her death?

When Lin Wu saw Xia Bing earlier, she still looked like an ordinary human. Although her gaze was filled with hatred and resentment, she had not lost her rationality. She couldn’t be considered a malicious ghost.

But now, he knew even without the need to think that Xia Bing must have become a malicious ghost!

(What’s going on?)

(Can an ordinary ghost also become a malicious ghost?)

Lin Wu frowned. He then glanced at Xia Bing’s right hand and his gaze involuntarily changed.

On her middle finger, there was a simple-looking silvery-grey ring. There was also a red string on her wrist.

This Xia Bing…was truly his new wife!

Many thoughts flashed through Lin Wu’s mind.

From the looks of things, Xia Bing was an ordinary ghost in the past and she remained beside Chen Ning due to her obsession.

But because Xia Bing was his future wife, the matchmaker came and looked for her.

Through torture, the matchmaker had shaped her new obsession. But this was just a brainwashing method. Hence, even if Xia Bing was married to Lin Wu, she would still resent him. But because it was not so easy to discard one’s obsession, she could only remain in the dark and stare at Lin Wu with bitter resentment.

However, when Lin Wu exposed her true face to Chen Ning, her resentment grew even stronger.

Not only did she resent Lin Wu, but she hated him too. That was what caused her to re-enact her most painful experience and transform into a malicious ghost!

“Why…?”

“Why…?”

After howling with resentment, she increased her crawling speed. In the blink of an eye, a black shadow appeared beneath Lin Wu’s legs.

Thereafter, Xia Bing stretched out her blood-covered hand and grabbed hold of Lin Wu’s ankle!

“Scram!”

Lin Wu gritted his teeth and tried to shake free. However, the strength of a malicious ghost wasn’t something a human could resist. No matter how much strength he used, he had no way to struggle free.

“Why…?”

“Why…?”

Xia Bing was like a broken recorder that kept repeating ‘why’. Her hand, which was grabbing Lin Wu’s ankle, suddenly pulled. Feeling an immense force pulling his leg, Lin Wu fell directly onto the ground.

Lin Wu gritted his teeth. His remaining leg aimed a powerful kick at Xia Bing, but she was like an illusory existence. His leg directly passed through her body like passing through air. There was basically no way for him to come in contact with her.

(Damn, what sort of existences are these ghosts?)

Lin Wu involuntarily cursed in his heart silently.

Why was Xia Bing able to grab him, but he couldn’t even touch her?

He also didn’t expect that after Xia Bing became a malicious ghost, she would be so difficult to deal with.

According to what Xiao Qin said, the vast majority of ghosts would only dissipate because their obsessions had disappeared. They also had no way to interact with humans, and their influence on reality was very marginal.

Only malicious ghosts with heavy negative emotions would have a larger influence on reality.

As for the ghost reader and Xiao Qin, they were more mysterious. They were clearly like normal people, yet their strength wasn’t inferior to malicious ghosts.

And now, after Xia Bing became a malicious ghost, she was also so tough to deal with!

All of a sudden~

Lin Wu felt a sense of pressure on him. Xia Bing directly pounced on top of him; her hands were holding down his hands, while her chest and stomach were on him as well!

“Damn!”

Lin Wu was so scared that his heart almost stopped. He struggled with all his might, but Xia Bing was like a 400kg monster pressing down on him. He had no way to struggle free.

Xia Bing slowly lowered her head. Her eyes that were filled with resentment glared at him fixedly. Lin Wu could even see traces of blood in her eye whites.

Now that they were so close, even if she suddenly leaned in to kiss him, he wouldn’t be able to do anything.

However, Xia Bing’s visage was now so terrifying. Even for humans with strange fetishes, they wouldn’t even dare to imagine kissing her.

“Why…?”

“Why…?”

Xia Bing pressed Lin Wu down, daring at him as she kept repeating the word ‘why’.

“F*ck, are you a repeater machine? Are you the tv program ‘ten thousand whys’?” Lin Wu involuntarily cursed.

Being pressed down by a beauty might be a sign that he had good luck with women.

However, being pressed down by a malicious ghost that was bleeding from seven apertures was truly somewhat terrifying.

Xia Bing wouldn’t rape him, right?

“…Won’t…marry…you…”

Xia Bing’s long hair was disheveled, and her expression contorted as she stared at Lin Wu. Obscured words that were hard to understand continued to flow forth from her mouth. “…Only…marry…Ning…”

Lin Wu understood. He hurriedly shouted, “If you want to marry Chen Ning, just do so! Hurry up and reconcile with him. I’m very optimistic about you two!”

Xia Bing started.

Upon seeing this, Lin Wu hurriedly continued, “Moreover, I’m not that good of a guy. Look at me, I’m not handsome at all. I even pretended to be a virgin to lie and cheat the emotions of girls; I’m not anything good at all. You better not follow me, so hurry up and look for your Chen Ning!”

“…Liar…”

Xia Bing spoke and then icily glanced at Lin Wu. “…Must…die…”

After speaking, her hand choked his neck.

Lin Wu felt a sudden intense pressure on his neck, like an unmovable hand was grabbing it. He completely couldn’t breathe.

The feeling of being stifled gradually grew more intense, and his vision started to go black.

At this moment, the handphone that he dropped onto the ground beside him suddenly glowed. Ripples materialized on the phone’s screen, just like ripples on a water surface.

“Bzz~’

The whistling sound of a speeding car suddenly rang out.

“Screech~”

Followed by the sounds of tires screeching due to an emergency brake.

“AH!!!”

A miserable shrill scream rang out as well.

The force on Lin Wu’s neck suddenly loosened. A moment later, when he discovered that he could breathe, he couldn’t help but pant heavily. His body regained its freedom, hence he hurriedly sat up.

He only saw Xia Bing being flung to a place not far from him. She was currently screaming miserably. Pain clouded her face, and wisps of green smoke were rising from her face.

When Lin Wu turned his head, he discovered that a long-haired girl whose body was covered in blood was standing beside him. The blood on her body dripped drop-by-drop onto the ground.

Pei Jianing??

How did she come here?

Pei Jianing’s gaze was cold as she stared at Xia Bing. She slowly spoke, “…You…are…not…allowed…to…touch…him…”
