CH 51.1

Bai Lixin and the pair of eyes met for a few seconds, and the corners of his eyes silently slid to the side.

There, he saw another pair of blood-filled eyes next to the other pair of blood-filled black eyes.

Bai Lixin, ”……”

There were two ghosts that were already extremely distorted in appearance. A faint black mist lingered around them, and he didn’t know whether it was a ghost or a death aura.

The body shapes of these two ghosts could no longer be described as human as each one had grown out of their characteristics.

The ghost on the left had an extremely long neck and its body was limp on the ground. Its torso and limbs were vaguely visible, and a torn grey shirt hung from its torso and a pair of suit trousers over its legs.

The trousers were tattered and cut off at the thighs, with only the top half hanging unevenly from the legs.

The ghost was pressed up against Bai Lixin’s bed, his neck three times as long as his head, and his face was only a few centimeters from Bai Lixin’s face.

The dark body was already full of weirdness and horror, but it was not as terrifying as this ghost’s face.

The two eyes bulged out, almost falling out of their sockets, and on the cement-grey face, the skin looked like half melted ice cream, accumulating in layers on the neck.

The skin of the lower eyelids and the bridge of the nose had long since disappeared, revealing bare white bone.

A few hard strands of hair still stuck strongly to the top of the head, keeping the ghost from going too bald.

The pair of eyes that were about to fall out were just staring at him. The eyes looked hollow but they had a hidden murderous intent.

Bai Lixin, “……”

Even if he had seen the weird looking deep sea mermaids and sea monsters, he was still started by this strange and scary looking ghost in front of him for a fraction of a second.

The ghost next to this one was no less frightening.

Bai Lixin pretended to have turned over in his sleep, and above his head was a black mass of ghosts.

Some were hanging upside down from the roof, some were hovering above, and some had even climbed onto the bed and were slowly moving from the end.

Each ghost had its own unique shape. Some had disheveled hair, some had missing arms and legs, some with half their faces missing, and some with only half their bodies left. Some even had their whole bodies turned over, with the bellies facing up but necks twisted downwards, crawling across the roof like spiders.

Seeing Bai Lixin roll over, the ghosts that were moving momentarily stopped.

The next moment, these ghosts shrouded in mist rushed towards Bai Lixin in unison, as if to drown him in a sea of the undead.

Bai Lixin, “……”

During the day, it is a paradise for living spirits.

At night, it is a paradise for the dead.

What paradise, wasn’t this a grand theatre?

From what Lin Jue had revealed, he knew that the confinement cell was home to some strange and lively ghosts.

Originally, he thought that only the “ghost mother” visited upstairs. He didn’t expect that all the spirits of the dead would come out at night and that there were so many ghosts there.

The NPC must have told them not to open their eyes at night to prevent them from seeing the spirits.

The ghosts were spitting white mist-like cold air from their mouths and were frantically crawling towards Bai Lixin.

Bai Lixin just rolled over indifferently and turned towards Dijia’s position.

He finally saw the owner of the force that had pulled him.

It was a skeletal palm without any flesh and blood, and it had come out from under his bed.

It was pulling on his quilt, not knowing whether it was to wake him up or to pull the quilt down.

It was a full house.

There should be quite a number under his bed…

Bai Lixin blinked blankly, his eyes instantly losing their luster.

Those ghosts had come up to Bai Lixin with the intent of frightening, and when they saw that the other party had remained indifferent, their long necks craned and they scratched their handful of hair in confusion.

Bai Lixin, “……”

Come on, are you trying to sell meng?

It’s not cute at all. Don’t sell it next time.

Another ghost tentatively stretched out a hand and waved it in front of Bai Lixin’s eyes. Then it stretched out its sharp nails and aimed at Bai Lixin’s eyes, almost poking them.

But the young man remained indifferent.

In the darkness, a dark, hoarse voice rang out, “It seems that he can’t see us.”

Bai Lixin tentatively reached under his pillow and found a pair of sunglasses.

These sunglasses were a prop that he bought casually when he had no place to spend his points.

The sunglasses also had a very special ability; from the inside, he was able to see what was outside, but from the outside, it was all black.

He put his sunglasses on, and tried to stand up by holding the wall.

“So it’s a blind man.”

“A blind man can also come here?”

“His soul smells so good.”

“He can’t see, but can’t he hear?”

The undead gathered around him, they seemed to want to get closer to him, but they didn’t dare to get too close, as if they were afraid of something.

Out of the corner of his eye, Bai Lixin looked at the half-revealed black hand print on his shoulder.

Was it because of this?

Two ghosts boldly came to his ears and shouted a few words.

The voices were so high and shrill that the air seemed to ripple with them.

It took a great deal of restraint for Bai Lixin to not let his breathing change one iota.

“Not only is he blind, but he’s deaf too.”

“When did this place start to raise such people?”

“Don’t even think about it, he bears the mark of that monster, it’s got its eye on him.”

“Jiejiejie, that one?”

“Who else but that monster?”

“Hehehe, then this little thing is quite pitiful.”

“Hush, keep your voice down, it’s asleep, don’t wake it up.”

Was Dijia the monster that they were talking about?

Through his sunglasses, he saw “Lin Jue” lying on the bed next to him.

Lin Jue’s eyes were still tightly closed.

But unlike him, there were no ghosts around him. All the ghosts were far away from him, as if they were very afraid of him.

As soon as Bai Lixin stood up from the bed, a female ghost with long hair crawled up the wall in front of him.

The female ghost’s hair was so long that it almost fell to the ground. Her body was twisted in a very difficult position, her stomach was torn open and a string of intestines hung out from the rupture, swaying rhythmically with the hair as she moved.

The female ghost pressed her face to Bai Lixin’s, her almost completely black eyes looking at Bai Lixin without blinking, “Tsk, he really looks good. He looks like my ex-boyfriend.”

“Hehehe, are you being flirty again?”

“Why don’t you drag him into your nest and have some fun?”

“Another ex-boyfriend? Every time you see a good looking one you say it looks like your ex-boyfriend, you’re such a face con.”

“First put your intestines away.”

A group of ghosts were heckling each other.

Bai Lixin, “……”

These grotesque bastards were quite lively.

Amidst the uproar, the female ghost’s hair seemed to come to life and moved on its own.

The hair slowly came to Bai Lixin’s face and wrapped itself around his sunglasses, “He must have beautiful eyes too, I think… ah!”

The hair suddenly tossed the sunglasses off and they fell on the floor, next to the bedside table.

Bai Lixin looked over with dull eyes, and in the darkness, “Lin Jue” had suddenly opened his eyes.

The pupils without white looked at the female ghost coldly, and the female ghost trembled. Her hair exploded and her limbs quickly retreated back to the corner as if she had clicked on the fast-forward interval.

“Lin Jue” sat up from the bed, and behind him, a hideous black beast opened its claws and fangs.

The hundreds of ghosts that had been wandering around the room jumped like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and all of them retreated to the corner.

Some squeezed into the corners, and others pressed their bodies against the ceiling.

Each one of them was trembling like a mouse that had seen a cat, and their arrogance had disappeared.

Where had the boldness gone?

He looked at “Lin Jue”, and “Lin Jue” also looked at him.

As the black slowly faded from his eyes, “Lin Jue” stretched out his index finger and put it to his mouth, making a “shhh” gesture towards him.

Bai Lixin crept on the floor with his hands, and with an actor’s professional spirit, continued to play the blind man. As his hand tentatively picked up the sunglasses on the floor, his eyes inadvertently looked under the bed.

Under the bed were three skeletal ghosts that were huddled and shivering together.

He ignored them and stood up with his sunglasses. He saw Lin Jue sitting on the bed, motionless, as if he was under an immobilization spell.

A black shadow of indistinguishable shape stretched out from behind him, and to Bai Lixin’s amazement, dragged him back to the bed.

A white quilt covered the man and ghost, completely isolating them from the outside world.

Inside the quilt, the black shadow wrapped around Bai Lixin and came to his face.

“You are really disobedient.” A husky voice with an accent fell into Bai Lixin’s ears.
