Chapter 67: Eerie and Horrific
What does period pain feel like?
As a guy, Xiao Yu didn’t understand.
Looking at Mu Qingwu frowning in her sleep, he felt a bit distressed.
But, it was time to get to work…
Holding his sleeping sister, Xiao Yu reached for the tablet on the bedside table.
He inserted the USB drive into the tablet and opened it.
Inside, there was a dossier and five videos.
An investigation report and surveillance videos?
Without first looking at the dossier, Xiao Yu opened the video named ‘1’.
The screen appeared.
The surveillance video was shot at night.
The clarity was not high.
It was unclear what was happening.
Soon, a white figure appeared on the screen.
Vaguely, it could be seen that it was a person walking, gradually entering the surveillance view.
In the pitch-black night, the white clothes and the peculiar walking posture made it creepy.
Xiao Yu frowned, noticing that the person in white stopped in the view and didn’t move.
Fast-forwarding a bit, the person still didn’t move.
Was the surveillance broken?
No, the person in white was standing there like a statue.
It was a woman.
With her hair covering her face, her features couldn’t be seen.
Xiao Yu noted the video’s timestamp.
The woman stood there for a full twenty minutes.
Suddenly, she moved.
A small utility knife appeared in her hand.
It didn’t appear out of thin air; she had been holding it all along.
Without the blade exposed, it was too dark to notice.
Xiao Yu’s heart raced.
Something felt wrong.
Sure enough.
She raised her hand holding the utility knife and brought it to… her face!
Once, twice, three times…
Even though the video was dark.
Even though the video quality was poor.
Xiao Yu, horrified, could see blood splattering on her hair, flowing down profusely.
She didn’t cry out in pain, didn’t scream, as if she were a walking corpse.
Holding the utility knife, she slashed her face over and over…
Xiao Yu’s scalp tingled.
Such an eerie scene reminded him of horror movies.
Would Wang Dong, the grand leader of National Security, joke with him?
His body stiffened, every hair on his body standing on end.
She…
Doesn’t feel pain?
No sensation?
How is that possible?
A more eerie scene unfolded!
After about five minutes, she had slashed her face hundreds of times and finally stopped.
She reached out and slowly parted her blood-soaked hair covering her face.
Revealing a face, bloody and raw!
Seeing this face.
Damn… Xiao Yu nearly cursed aloud.
A chill ran through him, cold sweat broke out on his back, and his adrenaline surged…
He felt like the protagonist in a horror story, spending the night in the wild, warmly welcomed.
Only to wake up and find himself in a deserted cemetery the next day!
“Unrecognizable” wasn’t enough to describe that face.
Her features were like minced meat piled together, as if her face had been put through a meat grinder.
One of her eyeballs had been slashed open.
The other eyeball had been gouged out of its socket.
Seeing this face, Xiao Yu felt an indescribable nausea.
He paused the video, set down the tablet.
He lowered his head, kissed the sleeping Mu Qingwu.
Got out of bed, walked out of the bedroom, and went to the study…
Sitting in a chair, Xiao Yu knew he wouldn’t be sleeping tonight.
He picked up the tablet, resumed the video, and continued watching.
The woman still stood there like a walking corpse.
As if she felt no pain, no sensation, no soul.
Under the night sky.
That bloody, mangled face was exceptionally hideous and terrifying.
She… smiled?
Xiao Yu, horrified, stared at her.
She was indeed smiling!
Another five minutes passed.
The woman raised her hand, holding the utility knife.
The blade slowly slid across her neck.
Blood sprayed, and the woman finally couldn’t stand, wobbling, then collapsing to the ground…
The video ended!
Xiao Yu took a deep breath, calming himself.
He opened the second video.
Again, it was nighttime.
The video quality was equally poor.
This time, the protagonist was a man, also dressed in white.
The man’s expression was numb, his eyes vacant, as if he had no soul.
One hand held a dagger, the other a bone-cutting knife.
First, like the woman in the previous video, he slashed his own face with the dagger.
Then, something even more horrific happened.
The man sat on the ground, raising the bone-cutting knife to chop at his hand on the ground.
No, not the hand, the fingers.
One by one, he chopped off five fingers.
Under Xiao Yu’s horrified gaze.
The man in the video, with his bloody, mangled face, smiled eerily.
With his other hand, he picked up each finger.
And put them in his mouth…
Xiao Yu’s scalp exploded.
He felt electric currents running through his body.
Uncontrollably trembling.
Goosebumps appeared on his neck and arms.
In two lifetimes, it was the first time he felt truly scared.
It brought back childhood memories of watching horror movies.
Unable to stay calm, a flash of unease crossed his eyes.
What kind of case is this?!
