Death Reminder
Late at night, I received a message from an unknown number on my phone: Mom, save me! Save me quickly!!
I looked at the bed beside me, where my daughter was lying, sleeping soundly with steady breathing.
Where did this prank come from?
I couldn’t help but laugh and blocked the number.
It was raining heavily. On the muddy mountain road, a little girl in a red dress was walking barefoot in the rain.
In her hair hung a half-lost bow, caked with dirt.
I am a single mother and I live with my daughter Beibei.
Beibei likes painting. A few days ago, I drove her to the suburbs to collect materials. We encountered heavy rain on the way. Beibei caught a cold and had a high fever when she came back. I was scared.
I looked at my daughter’s sleeping face, which was as cute as a piece of jade. I covered her with the quilt and tiptoed out of the room.
But just as I was about to go out, I looked at the mirror for some reason.
There was blood flowing on it:
Mom, kill her! She is not me, she is here to kill you!!
I was startled and almost screamed. The next second when I looked again, I found nothing in the mirror.
I was gasping for breath in shock and was about to close the door when I heard a faint voice behind me:
“Mother.”
I don’t know when Beibei opened his eyes, and he was looking at me motionlessly with his head tilted.
For some reason, I felt that my daughter was different at this moment.
Her eyeballs were frighteningly large, as if they had no focus, and she stared straight at me. I don’t know if it was because of the light, but her face looked especially pale, with a hint of black on it.
I looked at this familiar face, but I felt strange in my heart.
“Mom, why are you looking at me like that?” Beibei sat up slowly, stretching her feet to the ground. “Mom, you just looked in the mirror and then covered your mouth. Why?”
“Oh, Mom was dazzled just now and thought there were words on the mirror.” I answered truthfully, telling myself in my heart how could I feel distant from my daughter.
However, something strange happened. Beibei sat on the bed, his shoulders did not move, his neck and head slowly turned towards the mirror on the right, and a strange arc appeared at the corner of his mouth.
“Mom, are you talking about this mirror?” she said. “There seems to be a little girl in it who looks exactly like me.”
This sentence gave me a shock.
I thought she was confused due to fever, so I hurried out to get a thermometer.
And Beibei’s voice continued to ring behind me.
“Mom, she seems to be crying.”
The weird things continue.
I searched all the drawers in the living room but couldn’t find the thermometer. It’s so strange. I clearly put it there before. I just used it two days ago, but I can’t find it today.
I rummaged around until a small bouncy ball fell to the floor.
That was Beibei’s favorite toy. It was jumping on the ground. I squatted down to pick it up, but the moment I touched it, it suddenly melted.
It was like a puddle of water, melting onto the ground.
Then, the puddle of water turned blood red, as if it had grown hands, twisting and struggling on the ground. Fear surged into my heart, and I watched in horror as a line of very messy large characters appeared on the ground:
Mom! Don’t go back to your room! She’ll kill you tonight!
Extremely horrifying handwriting danced wildly on the ground, as if the writer was enduring extreme pain and desperately telling me something…
Suddenly, a cold hand was placed on my shoulder.
“Mom, what are you looking at?”
At that moment my blood almost flowed backwards. I turned around stiffly and found that Beibei appeared behind me at some point.
She was very close to me, looking at me carefully with wide eyes, as if trying to discern some emotion from my face.
The most important thing is that she made no sound when she walked!
I instinctively looked back at the ground again, but found that there was only a bouncy ball bouncing around, and the bloody words had disappeared out of thin air.
Is this my illusion again?
Am I really too stressed out recently because of Beibei’s fever?
“Beibei, when did you come here?” My heartbeat was a little off balance, and when I saw her bare feet, my heart instantly melted again, “Why are you walking on the ground without shoes? Be careful not to catch a cold.”
As I said this, I picked her up. Beibei’s hands and feet were cold. I don’t know if it was because of the fever and dehydration, but her body was also unusually light.
“Mom, I’m scared to be alone in the room. Can you go to bed with me?” She put her face on my neck and clung to my shoulders with both hands.
A metaphor suddenly occurred to me. It was like a big spider clinging to me.
I even laughed at my own thought.
“Okay, Mom will sleep with you.” I patted my daughter’s back and carried her to the bedroom.
However, when I reached the bedroom door, I stopped.
The moment I saw the scene inside, I felt a chill down my spine.
I clearly saw a thin white arm sticking out from under the bed, with a familiar black mole in the middle of the arm.
It’s Beibei!
My hands started to tremble.
There are only my daughter and I living at home.
My daughter likes playing hide-and-seek with me very much. She always hides under the bed, but she always fails to hide well, and her little feet or arms are always exposed…
If the person under the bed is my Beibei, then the person in my arms is…
My breathing became labored.
The person in my arms noticed something was wrong with me. She turned around and looked at me with wide eyes. Her pupils were terrifyingly black.
“Mom, why aren’t you moving?”
Her voice terrifies me.
“Mom, you seem scared, what did you see?”
Her face was getting closer and closer to me, and this time I finally confirmed that it was not my illusion. She gave me a very strange feeling. She was not my daughter!
Oops, why can’t I seem to get rid of her! ?
She seemed to be stuck on me!
“Mom, what are you afraid of?” The girl in my arms opened her eyes wider and wider, and when her nose almost touched mine, she suddenly grinned.
“I see, you’re afraid of me, right?”
The next second the girl bit my neck and sucked my blood crazily. I watched my arm turn into a thin layer of human skin…
“ah!–“
I woke up on the couch, sweating.
Seeing my daughter still sleeping soundly in bed, I wiped the sweat off my forehead and realized it was just a dream.
I was afraid of disturbing Beibei’s sleep, so I tiptoed out of the room with my phone. When I closed the door, the phone screen lit up.
A message from an unknown number:
Mom, save me! Save me quickly!!
The real and terrible dream just now suddenly appeared in my mind.
Most of the light in my daughter’s room was blocked by this door. I stood outside the dim door, reading this line of message, and broke out in cold sweat.
This is ridiculous, this is really ridiculous.
My reason told me that Beibei was clearly sleeping in there. I had just seen her and I could still hear her faint snoring.
So who is playing a prank on me by sending this strange message, and why did they send such a message to scare me? ?
But then, a terrible thought arose in my mind again.
This message really happened in my dream just now!
As if it was a foreshadowing and a warning to me, the tingling in my neck had not completely subsided…
Could it be that the person lying on the bed right now is not my daughter, but an imposter who looks exactly like her! ?
Then where is my daughter??
Is my daughter really the sender of this unidentified message? !
If it’s true, then Beibei must be in a very dangerous situation now!
My scalp was tingling and I almost collapsed. I quickly clicked on the message and replied: Who are you and where are you now? ?
But after the message was sent, it seemed to fall on deaf ears.
I stared at the screen so hard that my palms were sweating as I held the phone.
I suddenly realized that the snoring from inside the door seemed to have stopped at some point.
Just now, my attention was completely focused on the mobile phone screen, and I didn’t notice that the light seemed to be much dimmer than before.
I realized something and slowly raised my head.
I saw a face pressed against the glass on the door, staring at me without blinking!
My daughter’s voice came into my ears through the glass.
“Mom, who were you texting just now?”
She then lowered her eyes.
I lowered my head following her gaze and found that the strange number had replied at some point, with no punctuation, as if it was typed by someone in a very nervous and urgent state.
“Mom, I’m Beibei. I’m in a very dark and wet place. I’m very scared. My head hurts and my whole body hurts. Please save me!!!”
The last three exclamation marks made my heart inexplicably tighten, and I heard the sound of a chair moving from inside the door. My daughter, who had just been standing on the chair and staring at me, disappeared.
I immediately realized that she wanted to push the door open!
This time my body reacted before my brain.
I turned quickly and ran out. My daughter stumbled after me, stretching out her arms to try to catch me, but her body seemed very heavy and uncoordinated, and she knocked over chairs and coffee tables along the way. My heart tightened as I heard the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground.
I ran in the narrow path connecting the living room and the entrance, but my pace gradually slowed down.
No, this is really too absurd. I actually concluded that my daughter, who I live with day and night, is a monster just because of a dream and a text message. This is really outrageous…
“Mom, please don’t abandon me, please don’t run, Mom…”
I heard my daughter’s weak voice, and when I looked back, I found that she had knocked over the thermos at some point. At that moment, she was lying in a pool of steaming water with her teeth bared, and her snow-white skin was burned red.
Seeing her in pain, I wanted to kill myself!
I immediately went back and picked her up. Beibei cried and lay on me. I kept coaxing her and apologizing to her.
She looked at me with tears in her eyes and said, “Mom, do you want to give up Beibei just because of a text message?”
I hugged her tighter and trotted to take her to the bathroom to wash up. I panted and said, “Mom was wrong, Beibei, please forgive me. How could I not want Beibei? I’m not a little cat…”
“What is a tabby cat?”
The words that the person in my arms blurted out made my heart sink suddenly.
Little Cat, this is a nursery rhyme that my daughter and I made up.
The little cat is a bad guy. He doesn’t want a treasure but eggs…
For a while, Beibei would sing with me every night before going to sleep, but now, my “daughter” in my arms actually asked me what a kitten is?
I asked tentatively, “Beibei, don’t you remember that this is the rhyme your kindergarten teacher taught you?”
The air was quiet for a few seconds.
During those few seconds I was almost crying in my heart, praying madly that she would give me the answer I wanted to hear.
However, the “daughter” tilted her head and smiled.
She said, “Now that I think about it, I learned very quickly and was praised by the teacher.”
A subtle and dense feeling of fear crept into my heart.
I felt like I was holding a terrible monster. She looked like my daughter and had my daughter’s voice, but she didn’t know any of the secrets about my relationship with my daughter.
“Mom, I was praised by the teacher,” she emphasized, “Why don’t you praise me?”
She noticed something was wrong and grabbed my wrist: “Why are you shaking? Why are you sweating so much?”
“Beibei, look behind…”
At the moment of death, I showed extraordinary calmness.
I looked at her wide-open eyes tenderly: “Mom, your eyes are blurry. Look behind you. There seems to be someone in the mirror.”
As expected, she turned around. This time, I hardened my heart and suddenly let go of her hand and threw her far away. After seeing the girl land safely on the ground with her limbs in an extremely terrifying posture, I became even more convinced that this was really a monster!
She is really not my daughter!!
I ran out frantically, and behind me came a “chuckling” sound of extremely dark and terrifying laughter. The sound was getting closer and closer to me. Just when I grabbed the handle of the security door and was about to escape, a gust of wind came from behind me.
The girl suddenly pounced, fell on my neck and hugged me tightly. She laughed strangely in my ear, followed by a sharp pain, and then a “gulp…” sound like drinking a drink came from my body.
I gradually lost consciousness.
When I woke up again, I found myself holding a thermometer in my hand.
Beibei’s favorite bouncy ball was bouncing under my feet.
When I saw the message “You received a message” on my phone, I ignored everything else, covered my head in despair and rushed out the door!
When I sat on a chair outside the community flower bed, gasping for breath, I finally couldn’t help crying.
This is ridiculous. This is really ridiculous. My Beibei, where is my Beibei? Who is impersonating my Beibei?
With tears streaming down my face, I grabbed my phone and clicked on the strange message. However, the content displayed this time was not the same as what I had seen the previous two times.
Instead, it was written in large red letters, shockingly:
Mom, run! Don’t stop!
Then my phone seemed to go out of control and broke down, and messages flooded into my sight one after another:
She noticed you were gone!
She’s coming after me!
She went out…
She was in the elevator…
She is on the eighth floor…
She is on the second floor…
She came out…
She is catching up!!!
She is right behind you now!
My pupils suddenly shrank, and I only had time to read the last line:
If you don’t kill her soon, she will completely replace me!
There was a cool breath on the back of my neck.
The girl whispered in my ear:
“Mom, where are you going so late?”
She put her hands on my shoulders.
At this moment, I was so frightened that all my strength seemed to be drained away and I couldn’t even speak.
“Mom, come home with me, okay?”
She saw my lit screen and smiled, “Give me your phone, Mom. Don’t contact strangers casually. You taught me that.”
As she spoke, she tried to snatch my phone with such strength that it was alarming. Just as she was about to take the phone away, an elderly couple suddenly walked over from the distance.
They looked at us, then sat down on the other side of the chair naturally and started talking with sighs.
“If it weren’t for the sudden flash flood that caused the mountain to collapse, the little girl would still be inside and no one would have found her.”
The old man sighed, “Oh, who did this evil? How could such a good girl end up in such a miserable state? When she was found, both of her arms were chopped off and there was a hole in her head. I heard that the police officer at the scene was so scared that he vomited. There were even bugs crawling out of the hole…”
The old woman echoed, “Yes, this damn murderer must be caught and brought to justice as soon as possible!”
After a pause, she changed her tone and said, “But it’s strange. The girl died in the cave, but her two arms were at the entrance of the cave, and she was holding a mobile phone tightly in her hands. What’s going on?”
arm……
cell phone……
My pupils suddenly shrank and my heart ached so much that I almost fainted.
But the girl in front of me licked my neck sinisterly.
Her voice sounded particularly gentle: “Mom, come home with me. There is something waiting for you to see under the bed.”
At the moment, my mind is full of:
I want to kill her.
Kill her and my baby will come back.
It was at this time that I gritted my teeth and overcame my inner fear with the strong willpower of a mother who would give up everything for her child.
“Baby, do you have anything to show Mommy?”
I smiled kindly and reached out to touch her cold head.
“Mom just had a nightmare and wanted to go downstairs to relax. Look at you, why did you come out to see me without putting on any clothes? You just got better from the fever, what if you get sick again?”
Her face came closer to mine, her mouth wide open.
“Mom, are you really just going downstairs to relax? …Not that you found something and want to run away?”
“What nonsense are you talking about, kid? Why is your mother running away? If I were really in danger, I would have to hold you with me even if I ran.” I pretended to be angry. The girl tilted her head and looked at me, her black eyes spinning like a pendulum.
After a moment, she whispered in my ear:
“Don’t pretend. You’ve already figured it out. I’m not your daughter, right?”
She actually took the initiative to expose everything. My heart almost stopped. What made me even more scared was what she said next:
“Mom, I didn’t sleep at all. I kept squinting my eyes and watching you secretly. I saw that an unfamiliar number had been trying to send you messages…”
I always thought that her eyes were too big to close completely when she fell asleep, but I didn’t expect that she had been staring at me from the beginning!
My fear reached its peak at this moment. Just when I wanted to fight her to the death, the old couple stood up and walked in front of me, ready to leave.
The old man suddenly turned his head.
He mouthed to me silently:
“Dig out her eyes and it will all be over.”
The last string of sanity that I had held tight was broken because of that sentence.
Gouge out her eyes…
Gouge out her eyes…
Gouge out her eyes…
This is not my Beibei, this is a monster that looks exactly like her!
I grabbed the girl’s hand fiercely and stabbed her with my other hand frantically…
With a “hiss”, blood splattered all over my face.
The girl fell limply to the ground.
It should be over now, everything is finally going back to normal, my Beibei is finally coming back…
I squatted down tremblingly: “Beibei, Beibei, are you back, Beibei…”
The girl closed her eyes tightly and her face was covered in blood.
My heart tightened even more.
I was panicked and even regretted how I could have listened to the inexplicable words said by an old man!
Everything is so incredible tonight, I shouldn’t be so careless!
Sudden.
“Mother.”
When this voice rang out, I suddenly sat on the ground with a deathly pale face.
It’s her!
It’s still her!
“Mom, are you calling me?”
The next second, the girl suddenly let out a strange laugh. Her body remained motionless, but her head turned 180 degrees.
She used her hands to push aside the hair that covered it.
I discovered to my horror that
On the back of her head, she also has a face exactly like Beibei’s!
She stretched out her bright red lips and called out clearly:
“Mom, you’re hurting me.”
A distorted expression appeared on this face.
“Mom, my eyes hurt so much, can you give me your eyes, please? Please please please please???”
Her bones made a creepy sound and her body below the neck turned around. Just as she staggered to her feet, a drunk driver rushed towards her.
Directly smash her body into two pieces!
I was almost scared to death and was gasping for breath.
The girl’s body lay motionless on the ground, as if she was really dead.
Looking at this face that looks exactly like my daughter’s, I had a strong urge to hug her.
But I held back and didn’t let my guard down.
I fled out of the community desperately.
However, as I was running, I heard a rustling sound behind me…
In the silent night, the sound like sweeping the floor was particularly creepy.
I looked back and saw that the broken half of her body stood up out of thin air, sliding quickly on the ground, and rushing towards me accurately!
“Mother, give me your eyes, give me your eyes…”
I was almost in despair and even wanted to give up. I really had no way to deal with this monster!
But just as my steps became heavier and slower, I saw a little girl in a red dress appear in the darkness ahead.
She looked like she had just crawled out of the ground, all dirty, walking straight down the street with a bow tied in her hair.
This is my baby!
Even though I didn’t see the girl’s face, the blood relationship between mother and daughter made me sure that this was Beibei!
Where is she going? Why is she here? Is she injured? Why is there so much dirt on this little person?
I was almost going crazy. My tears and hoarse voice were swallowed up by the darkness. I called her name desperately, but got no response.
She was still walking forward with her back to me, as if she was going to walk completely into the darkness and leave my sight.
I shouted “Bei Bei” with all my strength and ran towards her.
However, I accidentally ran into a store.
I ignored the pain in my body, got up from the ground, and rushed out the door as soon as possible.
“Beibei! Beibei!! Where are you?!!!”
However, the door was sealed tightly, and I didn’t get any answer in the dark room.
I slid to the ground as if all my strength had been drained away, and accidentally kicked over a ceramic bottle.
A small piece of paper fell out of it.
“Mom, you must stay alive. Don’t leave here. Don’t leave here!”
However, the next second, the words on the note suddenly twisted wildly.
我甚至闻到了一股隐隐的血腥味。
Soon, these strokes formed a new word, which was full of chaos and panic:
“Mom! Hide! She’s coming!!!”
In the silence, sparse moonlight shone in.
I knew the door was pushed open silently.
The long hair appeared in my sight, and the moonlight gradually disappeared.
I didn’t dare to breathe and stuck tightly into a secret compartment in the shelf, trying to curl up my body so as not to reveal any trace.
“Rustle, rustle,” “rustle, rustle,” as if something was crawling on the ground, accompanied by a faint, sinister and strange laugh, which was creepy.
“Where on earth is it hiding…” the girl muttered to herself.
“It’s not here, it’s not here either… then what about here? It’s still not here…” She banged the cabinet roughly, desperately searching for something with her hands.
My internal organs were about to burst out. I tried my best to control my balance and not fall out. But I was also glad that my hiding place was on the upper few shelves.
I comforted myself by thinking that she had crawled in and her sight wouldn’t reach very high.
But the next second, she suddenly let out an excited shout: “I see you!”
!!!!
My heart almost stopped and almost jumped out!
The “rustling” sound of crawling suddenly became faster, she rushed directly towards a certain place, and then started tearing it fiercely.
“…Ah, I see. That’s not the case.”
The girl was chewing something indistinctly in her mouth, and the sound of her teeth grinding seemed particularly harsh and terrifying in the darkness.
But soon, she seemed to have thought of something and the sound stopped abruptly.
“Mom…” Her voice returned to its previous soft and sweet tone, sounding like a daughter calling her mother affectionately.
It really is like the past, when my daughter would hug my neck and act coquettishly before going to bed at night, insisting that I tell her a story.
My heart also felt calmer and more relaxed as I heard this voice that sounded so similar to my daughter’s.
However, along with this cry, something terrible happened, and a disaster was about to happen.
“Mom, you forgot one thing.”
An ominous premonition suddenly came to my mind.
The girl’s laughter was very sweet: “Mom, your phone has never been turned off.”
Oops!
There was no time to turn off the phone, a number called in!
The once familiar ringtone now sounded like a death curse. I pressed the button as fast as I could, but it was too late!
The girl had heard it.
The sound of her crawling immediately changed direction, slowly and firmly, aiming at the secret compartment where I was!
I was almost in despair, but still made a last dying struggle and threw the phone out, but the sound did not stop her from moving forward.
“Mom, do you think I’m stupid? Hehe, hehe, hehe…” She started to laugh strangely again. Her laughter became louder and louder, and her crawling speed became faster and faster.
My breathing almost stopped, and soon, the crawling sound stopped in front of the cabinet where I was.
However, strangely, everything returned to silence again, without a single sound.
I waited patiently for a few seconds, but the death sentence did not come.
So strange.
I tentatively peeked out and found nothing on the ground.
What’s going on?
Who came to help me again?
Is it God’s will that I can escape death again? !
I slowly leaned forward and tried to climb down, hoping for the best. I just stretched out my foot and was looking for something to cling to, but the next second, I was horrified to find –
In the secret compartment on the next level, I saw the girl’s pale face!
She was like a giant rat, with her limbs stuck to the wall, looking up at me with her eyes wide open!
The blood poured to my head at that moment. I jumped off the cupboard desperately and ran out. I heard a strange laugh behind me, and something jumped out of the cupboard at the same time!
Every cell in my body was trembling. I rushed out of the door and locked it as quickly as possible.
This series of actions was completed so smoothly that I was only focused on escaping and didn’t hear any sound from the girl.
And looking around, she didn’t follow me out.
Maybe she really was trapped in this convenience store by me…
I tried to comfort myself and calm my breathing, but I still didn’t dare to stay here for long. I forced myself to run along the road to a bus stop. I saw a few passers-by standing there, and I felt a little relieved.
I had so many frights tonight and have been running around so hard that my legs are hurting so badly that I’m shaking even when I stand on the ground.
Not only that, I felt my cervical spine became very tight, my neck and shoulders were very sore, and I could hardly straighten my back.
I wiped the sweat off my face, breathing heavily, and vaguely felt the liquid in the palm of my hand was a little sticky.
I twisted my neck with great effort and planned to take a bus to the countryside to ask my mother if there was any powerful Taoist priest who could help me.
As I was thinking this with a frown on my face, I felt my neck becoming more and more painful. It felt heavy and I couldn’t turn it around.
“ah!”
Suddenly, a little girl screamed, and her mother quickly covered the last part of her voice with her hand.
The series of shocks tonight made me nervous. I was also startled. When I looked up, I found that the mother and daughter were looking at me with very vigilant and fearful eyes.
The girl opened her eyes wide as if she wanted to say something, while her mother held her tightly in her arms, covering her mouth with a protective look.
Not only that, the other passers-by also looked at me strangely and with vigilance. As soon as they met my gaze, they quickly dodged, and their lowered fingers trembled unconsciously, completely exposing their inner thoughts, as if I could eat them.
Why do they look at me like this?
I looked down at myself in confusion and discovered that my hands were covered in blood. The blood was sticky and smelly, and was dripping onto the ground.
This must be because I was injured at some point just now.
No, this blood doesn’t seem to be mine, it must be that girl’s.
Wait, but did I have direct contact with her just now? …
I was a little panicked and was about to ask everyone if there was a hospital nearby when suddenly a bus came and those passers-by swarmed on. I didn’t dare to stand alone in this wilderness, so I just got on the bus.
After getting on the bus, I found that everyone tacitly closed their eyes and pretended to be asleep or buried their heads in their mobile phones. They looked like they didn’t want to pay any attention to me at all. I didn’t want to make myself bored, so I found a corner to sit down, borrowed a mobile phone from the driver and started texting my ex-husband.
No matter what, we are husband and wife, and now that Beibei is in trouble, I think he has the right to know.
“Hu Jin, Bei Bei she”
I typed these words and stopped.
After all, what happened tonight was too weird. No normal person would believe it right away. They might even think I had a mental problem, so I said this tentatively.
Hu Jin quickly replied, his tone looking impatient: “Wang Xue, can you please stop talking about the child? I understand your feelings. Beibei is everything in your life, but we are over now. I also want to build my new family. Please don’t bother me anymore!”
My heart sank.
Beibei is his biological daughter, but as a father, he can be so heartless and indifferent that he doesn’t even care about his daughter’s life or death.
My tears burst out all of a sudden, and I angrily typed a line of words:
“Beibei, do you know that something happened?! I almost died tonight, just this close! If both of us are dead, you will be satisfied, and you can live your life happily!”
This time, Hu Jin’s reply was clearly a bit flustered and concerned.
“Wang Xue, that’s not what I meant. What happened tonight? How are you? Where are you now? Tell me and I’ll get someone to pick you up right away. Don’t scare me!”
Hearing him say that, I stopped crying and turned on my camera, wanting to take a picture to show that I was on the bus and that he shouldn’t worry.
The camera was in selfie mode as soon as I turned it on. I was about to adjust it when suddenly, my pupils shrank –
In this small picture, half of a smiling face covered in blood appeared behind my neck!
Half of the pale and weird face seemed to be frozen in the picture, motionless. I dared not breathe and moved the phone tremblingly. The face was finally completely exposed to my sight.
It’s that girl!
She also noticed the camera, her bleeding mouth opened even wider, and her bloody fingers slowly stretched out from behind my neck and directly strangled my throat.
“Hehe, you found me…”
She breathed into my ear, “Mom, keep carrying me. We’ll get off at the next stop.”
The next stop was a mountainous area. I stumbled to the back door and pressed the bell. The passengers on the bus had different expressions, and some were whispering about something.
“It’s really not normal to get off here at this time…”
“Yeah, didn’t you see that there was so much blood flowing from the back of her neck? She’s still alive and well. This doesn’t seem like a normal person…”
Only the little girl spoke weakly:
“Mom, that blood is not from this aunt, it’s from the sister she carried on her back.”
Her mother’s trembling voice rang out: “What sister? What’s on her back?”
“Yes, it is,” the girl said aggrievedly, “The sister lost a lot of blood, and her eyeball seemed to be injured. Look at mom, she turned her head and smiled at me!”
When I heard this, I immediately took the opportunity to send Hu Jin my location and added the numbers “95”, praying desperately in my heart that he would understand and come to save me.
We arrived at the station and the car door opened. I ignored the driver’s shouting, grabbed his cell phone and ran down, crying in my heart: I’m sorry, driver, this is an emergency. If I can get back alive and safely, I will definitely compensate you the original price, oh no, three times or ten times!
This place seemed familiar. The cold wind whistled between my legs, making a horrible baby-like crying sound. A few towering ancient trees stood in the distance. The cold penetrated into my bones through the soles of my feet, making me suffocate.
I was walking forward tremblingly when the girl on my neck suddenly laughed sinisterly and then fell silent.
I looked at the shadow on the ground, and my body went from having a bulge to returning to normal. I didn’t know why she left suddenly, but I didn’t dare to miss the chance to escape, so I immediately turned around and ran back desperately. However, until I stopped exhausted, I couldn’t see the road where I got off the car.
Not far away, several old trees as thick as bowls and several meters high were standing there quietly, spreading out their branches as if waiting for me to come home – I was actually back to the same place!
I was going crazy. Fortunately, my cell phone still had a signal, but the only chat box on the interface was between Hu Jin and me. I sent him a message with the last glimmer of hope, hoping that he would come to pick me up.
“Hu Jin, please come and save me! Please!!”
“Wang Xue, don’t be afraid, I’m here. Where are you now?” he replied immediately.
I immediately felt a glimmer of hope in my heart as if I had grabbed the last straw. I looked around and saw that only those old trees were the most representative, so I ran over and said, “I’m on the mountain, under a tree! There are only a few trees here, all together. I’m wearing dark blue clothes, and you will definitely see me when you come!”
“Okay, wait for me, I can see those trees.”
That’s great!
I clenched my fists tightly and my eyes were red with excitement.
But after a long time, I still didn’t see Hu Jin.
I didn’t dare to shout his name, for fear that the girl would hear me. I couldn’t help but send him a message to urge him: “Are you here? Can you hurry up?”
He didn’t reply.
I sent it again, but still got no response.
The fear of being abandoned rose in my heart, and I called the number tremblingly. The call was answered just one second before it automatically hung up.
“Hey Hu Jin, where are you now?!!”
“Wang Xue, you are safe now, right?” Hu Jin’s voice sounded a little strange, gloomy and lifeless.
I hesitated for a moment and asked, “Where have you been?”
He kept asking:
“You are safe now, right?”
“You are safe now, right?”
“You are safe now, right? You are safe now, right? You are safe now, right? … “
His abnormal behavior scared me, and my breathing was trembling: “Hu Jin, what’s wrong with you? What happened to you? What are you doing now-“
I didn’t say the rest of the words.
Because I suddenly saw that on the back of the tree, there was a long bloodstain, extending to the grass not far away, and on the other side of the grass, there appeared a pair of bloody footprints.
One deep and one shallow, heading straight towards me!
Suddenly, a few drops of sticky liquid dripped on my head. I raised my head suddenly and saw Hu Jin’s face covered in blood!
I don’t know when he was hung up. His eyes were like two huge black holes. The corners of his mouth were grinning as he slowly smiled at me: “I died for you, Wang Xue, I died for you, I died for you…”
Then I saw the scene that I feared the most in my life. Hu Jin tilted his head, and there was a big cut on his neck, and the girl’s head stuck out of it!
I gagged and almost vomited, but the next second, I ran as fast as I could away. The heavy footsteps behind me became louder and louder, along with Hu Jin’s strange laughter, which came into my ears.
“Don’t run, you can’t escape, everything is destined, you can’t escape…”
I looked back and saw that Hu Jin had turned into a thin piece of human skin. The girl stopped where she was with a satisfied look on her face, then looked at me viciously and quickly chased after me!
I was filled with guilt, but I still wanted to make one last struggle.
I don’t know how long I ran, but suddenly I saw a car on the edge of a cliff in front of me. The car looked like it had been in a car accident and was badly damaged. There was blood that had long since dried up and congealed on it… And in the car, I actually saw a figure that looked very much like my daughter!
She is waving at me!
I rushed over madly, opened the car door, and closed it the moment the girl rushed in.
Fortunately, the car key was still inserted in it, so I tried it and it actually started and there was fuel. This must be God’s help!
The girl let out an unwilling roar, and she lay directly on the hood of the car, her horrified face pressed against it, her hands still trying to smash the car window and reach in!
One after another, heavy crashes rang in my ears. I tried desperately to start the car, but I didn’t know what was wrong with it and it just wouldn’t start.
Seeing that the already broken glass was about to shatter completely under her heavy blows without any pain, she suddenly stopped hitting it.
The next second, I saw through the rearview mirror that she had climbed to the back of the car and was trying to climb in directly through the half-rotten rear window!
This time, I suddenly calmed down.
I waited quietly for her to completely enter the car, and the steering wheel turned slowly.
At the same moment she came in completely, I opened the car door, jumped out, and pushed the car hard!
The girl fell into a deep cliff along with the car, and her shrill screams echoed in the valley. I lay on the edge and looked down, and I breathed a long sigh of relief, but the next moment my eyes suddenly widened.
I clearly saw that my daughter was sitting in the car!
That’s my daughter! She was wearing a clean red dress, leaning on the seat with her head tilted to one side and sleeping obediently, holding the new crayons I bought for her!!!
I killed my own daughter with my own hands. I actually killed my own daughter with my own hands!! …
24.
In the intensive care unit of the hospital, several nurses looked at the gradually flattening electrocardiogram, looked at each other and sighed.
“This mother is so pitiful. She is divorced and raised her daughter alone. She took her to the mountains for a trip this Saturday, but she never expected this to happen.”
“Yes, her daughter was already dead when she was brought here. Her little arms were shielding her body, but they were covered in blood from the broken glass, and her eyeballs had fallen out… Sigh, I’ve been in the hospital for so many years, and I’ve never seen anything so tragic.”
“This lady is really pitiful. When I was checking on her this morning, I saw that she was getting better, so I called her ex-husband, but he just said a few words indifferently and hung up the phone. And now, she…”
“She gave up her will to live. When she was first brought in, she might have survived, but she suddenly cried out, ‘It’s mom who killed you,’ and her indicators took a sharp turn for the worse. I think, in her subconscious, she must not let herself go.”
Another heavy sigh.
Suddenly someone whispered, “She should have been reunited with her daughter by now, right?”
Muffled sobbing was heard and no one spoke.
A nurse looked at the woman on the bed silently, then reached out and covered her with a white cloth.
