Chapter 22: Night Terror
It was almost half a month after a peaceful month.
Whether it's me or Han Hongwen, it seems like that thing really won't appear again.
In the morning, I was still sleeping.
"Jingle bellβ"
The phone rang.
When I saw it, it was Han Hongwen calling.
On the phone, Han Hongwen was very emotional, he said:
"It'...... It's back! β
Hanging up, I suddenly felt that it was unusual.
It seems to be a cunning hunter.
And we are his prey.
It has been quietly watching us from the sidelines.
When we let our guard down,
And it appeared.
ββββββ
I went to the hospital and went to the ward that Han Hongwen told me.
This is a superior ward with two rooms, the outside is the living room and the inside is the real ward.
As soon as I pushed open the door, I saw Han Hongwen's wife, wiping tears in the living room outside.
When she saw me, she quickly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, forced a smile, and greeted me.
I exchanged a few words with her, and she immediately led me inside to see Han Hongwen.
Han Hongwen has a broken leg and has undergone surgery and put on a plaster.
The broken leg was hoisted high.
Han Hongwen was very excited, and he didn't care about the leg injury, so he suddenly pounced, grabbed my hand, and said:
"Mr. Chen, help! Help me! β¦β¦β
Mrs. Han Hongwen and I hurriedly helped him back to the bed and lay down.
I asked him to tell me what happened last night, and he didn't say much on the phone.
Han Hongwen lay on the bed and took dozens of deep breaths before he barely stabilized his emotions and said:
"Last night, I went to bed early.
In the middle of the night,
Sleeping in a daze,
I vaguely heard,
There was a 'popping' sound outside the bedroom,
Very regular,
It seems that someone is coming towards the bedroom.
Getting closer and closer,
Getting closer and closer,
This one seems to have walked to my bedside.
Quiet.
It's quiet.
There was no sound for a long time.
suddenly
A pair of cold hands,
Choked my neck.
I heard the familiar voice againβ'Death! Die! β¦β¦β
I was choked and breathless.
Normally, at this time, I would wake up.
But this time,
But I didn't wake up.
I had more and more difficulty breathing.
I felt like there was a fire burning in my lungs.
I started to lose consciousness.
I feel like I'm going to die.
'Boom', Mr. Chen, the talisman you asked me to hang on the wall exploded.
I woke up,
See the talisman you gave me,
has been burned to ashes,
Sporadicly, and Mars.
I know it's back.
I pushed my wife and told her to wake up and leave the villa with me.
Unexpectedly, I pushed it empty.
My wife is gone.
'Crunch',
The bedroom door was opened,
My wife stood in the doorway,
Smile at me,
Very inherently laughing.
I said to her; 'Quick! Change clothes! Let's go! It's back! β
My wife didn't seem to hear me,
She's still standing there,
Smile at me,
Laughing innomerly.
suddenly
She flashed a kitchen knife from behind her back.
she
Raise the knife,
Lunged at me.
I realized she wasn't my wife,
It's it!
I threw the quilt over my body and covered it.
Taking advantage of this moment,
I jumped out of the bedroom window.
I broke my leg,
But I didn't dare to stop,
I climb,
I've been climbing,
I climbed to the main road of the community.
At this time,
It reappeared.
It's holding a kitchen knife,
Follow me,
Still smiling at me,
Laughing innomerly.
I was caught up by it,
I thought I wouldn't make it.
Fortunately, the security guard of the community found me in the surveillance.
A dozen of them rushed over, subdued it, and brought me to the hospital.
In the morning, after the sun came out, it was gone.
My wife woke up and rushed to the hospital when she heard that I was injured.
I came out of the operating room and she told me she didn't remember anything about last night. β
I turned my head to look at Han Hongwen's wife, who wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and nodded, indicating that she really didn't remember anything.
I sat there with my head down.
Han Hongwen's wife was undoubtedly ghosted last night.
That thing has gone from killing people in a dream to directly possessing the body.
This shows that there is not much time left for Han Hongwen.
It can also be said that I don't have much time left.
If it is not handled well, Han Hongwen may not survive tonight.
Suddenly, I raised my head and looked at Han Hongwen.
I want to see his heart.
"Mr. Chen, you ...... You ......"
Han Hongwen was hairy by me.
"Mr. Han, do you know who it is?"
I stared into Han Hongwen's eyes and asked almost word for word.
Han Hongwen's home is very clean.
He said he hadn't touched anything strange.
Then there may be only one possibility left.
Han Hongwen has killed people!
That thing is here for revenge!
Listening to my words, Han Hongwen was silent.
His wife stopped crying, and looked at me with wide eyes.
"Mr. Han, you'd better be honest with me.
Otherwise, I'll leave now.
Whether you can live well tonight depends on your luck. β
Han Hongwen and his wife glanced at each other, sighed, and said:
"More than a decade ago, I didn't know my wife.
At that time, I was still a PhD student at MIT.
At the time, I had a girlfriend.
She was my college classmate in China.
We went to MIT together.
After graduating from MIT, she wanted to return to China to develop, so I came back with her.
Her family lives in S City, is in business, and is very rich.
And my family is in the countryside, the family background is very ordinary, and it can even be said that in order to provide for me to study, I am a little poor.
The people in her family looked down on me and felt that I was not worthy of her.
I, who had low self-esteem and self-esteem at the time, broke up with her in a fit of anger and went to the United States again.
She went to the United States to find me, hoping to reconcile with me.
She waited outside my house for three days and three nights.
I locked the door and didn't see her.
In the end, she returned to China, and within a month, she committed suicide by taking sleeping pills.
When I heard the news of her death, I rushed back to China to mourn.
When her father saw me, he said he would kill me and pay for her life.
A few years ago, when I returned to China, I heard that her father had also passed away. β
Han Hongwen was a little sad and really guilty about the death of his ex-girlfriend.
"You mean, that thing is the ghost of your ex-girlfriend's dad?" I asked him.
He nodded.
