C38

In the middle of the night, I woke up in a daze. I found that the bench where Director Wang had been sleeping was overhead, and there seemed to be a power cut, so I opened my cell phone's screen and groped my way out. Unexpectedly, after a few steps, I bumped into something, and once again raised my cell phone to look at what was in front of me.

However, it was fine if he didn't look at it. When he saw me, he was immediately frightened. His entire body shuddered and he threw his phone to the ground as if he had been electrocuted.

I had thought that this cold, hard thing might be a pillar, but I had never expected it to be a stooped figure.

Most importantly, he was wearing a completely black set of clothes with the word "Life" embroidered on it. It was actually a birthday suit.

Although his back was facing me and his surroundings were dark, I could immediately tell that it was none other than the Director Wang's mother, who was already so dead that he couldn't die anymore.

At this moment, I couldn't care about anything else. I screamed as my legs gave way and I scrambled out of the room.

However, in the dead of night, my throat didn't have a sound when I yelled it out even though it was drizzling. Under the dim light of the night, I squinted my eyes and looked at the place where I had crashed into the corpse. There seemed to be a human figure there, so I heaved a sigh of relief, because no matter what, Director Wang's mother didn't chase after me.

At this moment, I only want to leave this damned place, but, although occasionally the moonlight scattered down, I couldn't see the road clearly.

I felt like crying but had no tears. I just sat outside in the rain and didn't dare to take another step into the mourning hall. I sat on the wet ground in a stalemate with Director Wang's mother who was standing there like a wooden stake.

"Huff, puff!"

However, there was a faint sound of heavy breathing. My eyes immediately lit up. It was as though I had found my savior. I shouted, "Help!"

However, it was as if he didn't hear me, and didn't give me any reply. His voice was still the same as before, as if it was ringing in my ears.

An explosive "hong" sound suddenly rang out and a bolt of lightning that was like a Violent Flood Dragon streaked across the sky, lighting up the surroundings with a snow-white brilliance.

I unconsciously shivered. Borrowing the light of the lightning, I discovered that there seemed to be someone half-kneeling in the shed that was set up for the Spirit Hall. However, this lightning came and went as fast as it could, I just saw it and it disappeared, so I was not too sure if I had seen it correctly or not.

However, no matter what, having hope is better than not having hope. Thus, I softly shouted a few times, "Director Wang, is that you?"

Still, no one answered me.

I gritted my teeth and looked at the phone that was previously thrown away due to my shock. Its screen was still lit, so it wasn't too far away from me.

I took a deep breath and forced myself to calm down. Staring at the blurry figure of the old lady, I started thinking, In this situation, the best way for me to escape is to get my phone. Firstly, there is light from my phone, and secondly, I can also make a phone call.

Thinking of this, I casually touched it. It was a pole, and I didn't care what it was used for. I held it horizontally in front of me and tiptoed towards my phone.

The distance between me and my phone got closer and closer. Similarly, my heart also tensed up to the extreme. The string in my mind was almost broken. Finally, when I was about to reach out my hand.

However, at that moment, the light suddenly lit up.

However, I didn't even have the time to be happy before I let out another blood-curdling scream and fell onto the ground. I didn't have the strength to run anymore and collapsed onto the ground like a paralyzed patient.

At the instant when the lights suddenly lit up, the old lady's face, which was half devoid of flesh and bones, suddenly appeared right in front of me. Just an inch further and my face would have almost touched hers.

By now, I had completely collapsed. I could only feel the wetness in my pants, a warm current of oil spreading down my pants legs.

I actually shamefully peed!

It was in this light that I finally saw the old woman's condition, and I saw that her body had fallen like a piece of hard wood, and that her head was resting on the level chair, creating a sort of reclining posture.

That's why I almost bumped into her.

I stared at the old lady's body for a long time to make sure she didn't move. Then I let out a sigh of relief and tried to move my limbs. Although I felt numb, it was this feeling that made me feel as if my soul had returned to my body.

Without any hesitation, I grabbed my phone and turned around to retreat. But what I didn't expect was that I stumbled over something and fell to the ground on my back, making me dizzy. It took me a long time to regain my senses.

"I'll strangle you to death, I'll strangle you to death, you bitch," However, just as I spoke those words, I was shocked yet again. An ice-cold voice came from behind me, and when I turned around, I saw that it wasn't anyone else but the Director Wang that I had shouted for but couldn't even reach his throat.

His eyes were filled with rage as he knelt on the floor. Both his hands were clenched tightly, as though he was grabbing at something. Every time he pressed, he would curse furiously with a ferocious expression.

I immediately trembled in fear and stood up. Is this Director Wang crazy?

"Director Wang?" I shouted softly and poked him with the stick in my hand.

"I'll pinch you to death, I'll pinch you to death, you bitch!" Director Wang seemed as if he didn't feel anything at all, and continued to pinch the invisible air as if he was possessed by a devil.

I looked back outside. The rain was still falling, so I was afraid I wouldn't be able to get far.

However, how could I keep this kind of situation?

I really want to just ignore them, but I don't care about the dead. How can I ignore a living person like him?

I clenched my teeth and tried to pull out 120, but unfortunately, after trying for a few times, I was unable to dial it. The receiver was busy, then I switched to 110, but the result was the same. When I looked at it carefully, I realized that my phone had no signal at all, not to mention calling the police, even checking the weather forecast was impossible.

I tremblingly took a few steps back, trying to stay as far away as possible from Director Wang and his mother's corpse. I foolishly watched the two of them, one dead, one alive, as helplessness and fear flooded into my heart.

"Director Wang?" With a glimmer of hope, I shouted again.

This time, the Director Wang finally had an answer. He slowly stopped pinching the air, and slowly turned around.

However, when I saw his face after he turned around, I immediately felt like dying.

He only saw that Director Wang's face had somehow turned back into his mother's face, half of her face was red and half of her face was a blur, while the other face had a strange smile on it. Her eyes were wide open as she giggled and stared at me unwaveringly, her emotionless eyes were like a bullet that flew at high speeds, instantly piercing through my heart.

My vision went black and my body shuddered, almost falling to the ground as I fiercely clutched my chest.

"Master Ma, is that you?" Just when even I found it hard to breathe, Director Wang actually opened his mouth to speak. His tone was gentle yet strange, like a woman.

Sweat dripped down my face as I swallowed some saliva. I didn't dare make a sound and touched the hard object on my chest; it was the Spirit Realm item passed to me by my grandfather. Thus, without saying a word, I took the Spirit Realm item in my hand and only then did I dare to feel a little better.

It was also at this time that Director Wang stood up, hunched over, like a monkey that had just learned how to walk upright, and slowly walked towards me.

However, with every step he took, I took a step back and maintained a certain distance from him.

What a joke, with his current appearance, not to mention me, even ghosts would be afraid.

"Why didn't you help me?" Just then, the Director Wang looked like he had lost his patience. After shouting, he rushed over with a ferocious expression.
