I heard that I’m super fierce - Chapter 73
Translator: NovelMultiverse | Editor: NovelMultiverse
One minute passed.
Five minutes passed.
The skull on the table stood upright for a long time, but after all, he couldn’t restrain his curiosity.
It “clicked” and moved its lower jaw and asked, “How do you feel now?”
Lin You: “…”
“This is the seventh time.” Knowing that it was not a concern at all, she pointed to the window behind her. “I will say it one last time. If you ask again, I will throw you out of here.”
The skull smiled weirdly.
“I’m not curious.”
It said: “This is the first time I have seen that just using this kind of water can make people psychedelic. It is much more complicated to leave us here—what a great research material!”
Did it mean the water or her?
Listening to the skull’s excitement, Lin You suspected that if it weren’t for the fact that only one hand bone was put away, she could see it rubbing its hands expectantly.
“Come on,” she said coldly, “Be careful. If you blow yourself up again, I won’t accompany you.”
“Does scholarship matter?”
That bone asked seriously.
“Okay,” it compromised, “Taking ten thousand steps back, I admit that I made myself like this, but what is art? Art is an explosion! I am dedicated to art—”
Lin You ignored the unreasonable words and was about to turn around and continue working on her.
“No, no, wait!”
This guy was still struggling to death without giving up, “Go ahead and let me take a sip.”
Lin You thought that besides her, there were still people who actively wanted hell these days.
But then again, the guy in front of her with only a skull left blew himself up for an experiment. He didn’t seem to regret it at all. It’s not surprising that he would make such a request.
“Can you drink water?” she asked suspiciously.
The skull laughed nervously.
“Try it?”
Lin You was indifferent to this request. It didn’t cost much anyway.
She just turned on the kitchen faucet, filled the glass, and got some water in again.
Lifting the skull, the other party opened his mouth cooperatively. The mouth of the cup was aligned with the position, and poured straight into it——
“Wow—”
Water dripped across its lower jaw, dripping all over the floor.
The Skull: “…”
“I believe,” it said seriously, “I still drank a little.”
“It’s better to say it seeped in.”
Lin You had expected such a result earlier, and now she ruthlessly exposed its lies. She put the skull and the water glass back together and opened the balcony door by herself.
It was time to think about how to get it done.
Chu Renmei is not incomprehensible, there are two common ways.
First, when she was wrapped in a bamboo mat, she went into the wild with a corpse. She resented the villagers, and finally stopped because the most beloved junior used the bracelet she used that would “promise you whatever you want.” After the relocation a hundred years later, Chu Renmei’s bones fell into the pool, and the bracelet was also lost in the process.
Finding the bracelet and putting it back on her hand might quell the grievances—but this had not been done; after all, the protagonist was choked to death before he succeeded.
The second way…
Chu Renmei was betrayed during her lifetime. If she can see her true feelings, she will let you go. The survivors in the movie survived to the end because they proved their love. The problem was that this was a single-player storyline. Was it possible to ask her to help an old lady cross the road?
This method would fail. After thinking about it, there was only the first one left. But now that she had already drunk the glass of water, Lin You wondered if she would see Chu Renmei here.
The apartment was too cramped, and she went back and forth to make room. After cleaning up, she piled up all the odds and ends that she didn’t need on the balcony. In any case, the room looked much more empty.
After closing the sliding door of the balcony, she only felt that a blue shadow flashed by after she turned around.
A shadow with a long dark blue dress and long black hair, like a woman dressed up, was reflected on the glass door. Without looking at her, she walked quietly behind her without making any sound.
That is—
Lin You suddenly turned around.
—Nothing at all.
She stared into the empty room. The scarf that she had put on the back of the sofa half a minute ago was still hanging there. Only the skull was startled by the sudden overreaction.
“What,” it met her gaze and stammered, “What’s the matter?”
“Did you see anyone passing by?” Lin You asked.
Skull: “No—no.”
In the next instant, it reacted to what she was saying and immediately looked up and down.
“She came out?” You couldn’t tell whether it was fear or excitement. The skull repeatedly asked, “Why didn’t I see it?!”[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
Because it’s just a hallucination?
Lin You thought.
Chu Renmei’s own body was still sinking in the pool, and she couldn’t kill people directly. She used the water she drank to control people’s brains. To give a simple example, someone saw a ghost in an elevator and thought that he was being choked by a female ghost, but he actually choked himself to death when he saw it through the surveillance.
It is hard to say whether the skull actually drank it. Even if it did drink it, it may not be enough for it to see Chu Renmei in the form of hallucinations.
Lin You took a deep breath.
Although it was only the reflection through the glass, she still saw where Chu Renmei had gone.
She got up and was about to take a step when she was stopped by the panicked skull.
“Hey, take me!”
“Are you sure?” Lin You pointed to the door, “I saw her walk in with my own eyes.”
The skull worried for a long time and finally made up his mind.
“Take me, why not?”
Otherwise, why did it drink the sink water!
…Besides, if it stayed in the living room by itself, it would panic even more.
Lin You didn’t say anything. She grabbed the skull with one hand, and directly pushed open the wooden door of the bathroom, and walked in.
She saw the mirror facing her at a glance.
The mirror was hung on the wall, but there was nothing wrong with it. It only reflected her upper body, not even the skull she was holding in her hand. But in this kind of atmosphere, this is what made her scalp numb.
“……how?”
The skull asked, almost keenly aware that something was wrong.
Lin You was silent for a while, and said, “It’s a bit cold.”
In fact, it wasn’t just a bit cold.
It was like walking down the street in the winter when it was a few degrees below zero, wearing only one layer of clothing, when there is a biting cold wind on the face, making you shiver.
She shouldn’t feel cold.
The sun was shining right outside, and she would feel warm when she walked around on the balcony. On such a sunny day, there was only one explanation.
—Hallucination.
She squeezed her arm hard, not knowing if this would make herself sober.
It wasn’t much use.
Maybe the cold couldn’t be easily dispelled. Lin You exhaled, feeling that it was within the range she could bear. She tilted her head and looked around.
Although there were too many things in the room, the apartment is quite clean as a whole. It was not an exaggeration to say that there was no dirt at all. It was the same even here, where even the corners were spotless.
Since she watched Chu Renmei walk in here with her own eyes, Lin You pulled the shower curtain open in the spirit of searching everything in sight.
It was different from what she might face when she was mentally prepared. The bathtub that was enough for people to sit in with her knees was empty, and there was no trace of a female ghost.
“I seem to…” Suddenly, the skull said hesitantly, “Have heard something.”
The poignant drama echoed in her ears.
“Lang is in Fang’s heart when I am broken…”
The voice of the woman singing was full of sadness, and her lyrics were so familiar. This was inevitable. They heard it on the radio in the living room more than ten minutes ago.
“…only the moon knows how wronged I feel…”
Chu Renmei was singing.
—She is coming.
The skull seemed to realize something, “…Hurry up! Tell me the radio is broken and rewinding!”
Lin You was too lazy to ridicule him. It was not the sound of rewinding at all.
If he was a little surprised at the beginning, the other party hadn’t seen Chu Renmei reflected on the glass, so how did he hear her singing now? Lin You understood at this moment.
It originally drank some water, but it was limited to being able to discern something vaguely, but it was not very sensitive. This can be seen from the fact that the skull was still nervously looking left and right. In Lin You’s own eyes, something had already emerged from the place where there was movement.
The skull clearly noticed that she was looking at a certain position, and asked hurriedly: “Where? Where?”
“Look down.” Lin You squeezed out her voice.
When he was at a loss, the skull without eyeballs naturally couldn’t open his eyes, so he had to stare at that spot to distinguish.
…Finally, it saw a little shadow.
The skull: “Ah—”
Skull: “Ah ah ah ah!!!”
Lin You pinched her palm tightly, for fear that she might lose control of her body for a while. In a sense, this hoarse, piercing scream helped her to grasp her mind, so as not to be infected by Chu Renmei.
She remembered this scene in the movie.
Chu Renmei crawled out of the toilet and scared that person out of the bathroom.
At this moment, the hand with black nails was pushing the toilet lid a little bit, and the dark blue cuffs could already be seen vaguely. It was crawling on the seat, trying to crawl out.
Against the backdrop of the snow-white ceramics, Chu Renmei’s gray fingers that were showing signs of decay were even more terrifying.
“…”
Lin You sighed for a long time.
Even if it was as clean as the new one, even if it was just a clone, do you not care about hygiene when you climb the toilet?
A force was slammed on, and the toilet lid that had already been lifted up half fell straight down, and the outstretched hand was tightly clamped with it.
Chu Renmei: “…?????”
After a brief daze, she began to pull back hard.
It could be regarded as regaining her pinched fingers, and Chu Renmei hit the ground again. But no matter how hard she tried, the person stepping on it showed no signs of wavering at all.
Lin You stepped on the lid and pressed the flush button mercilessly.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
Aye, flush it down the toilet.
