Chapter 481 - 490: I’ve Come For You
A horrifyingly cold voice, completely devoid of emotion, rang out, sending an involuntary shiver down one’s spine.
Some of the viewers were already trembling in fear, and even those who claimed to be Yu Xin’s fans had fallen silent, not daring to make another sound.
Who could have possibly imagined that Yu Xin would actually return as a ghost to haunt Su Nian?
Su Nian, however, had a different reaction. She sat casually in her chair, crossed her slender legs, and brazenly sized up the thing before her, which was neither human nor ghost.
The Yu Xin in front of her also seemed to be silently sizing her up. Then, it moved its neck slightly, letting out a cringe-inducing CRUNCH.
Its neck was crooked. It began to turn, tilting little by little until its head was hanging over its chest.
It was just like the photos that had circulated on the day of her death: headfirst, smashed down, covered in blood.
The postmortem lividity on its body also began to slowly appear. Bluish-purple spots emerged one by one, some with rotting edges.
The stench of decay in the room was growing stronger.
"I’ve come for you. I’ve come for you."
Yu Xin repeated these words mechanically, emotionlessly, her eyes never leaving Su Nian, staring at her intently.
Her eyes were filled with a chilling cold, wide and staring, as if she would lunge forward and bite Su Nian to death at any second.
[Oh my god, streamer, what are we going to do?]
[Hurry up and call the police!]
[Would calling the police even work? It’s already dead!]
[Did someone intentionally harm her?]
[This is too scary. Is it really a ghost?]
[But I really think it looks exactly like Yu Xin, especially the small mole on her ear. It’s identical to Yu Xin’s mole. Even the position hasn’t changed at all!]
The internet was already in a massive uproar. A new topic was now trending.
Yesterday’s top trending topic was Yu Xin’s death, but today’s had changed.
[BREAKING! Yu Xin Suspected to Have Become a Ghost!]
There was even a red exclamation mark in front of this trending topic, indicating just how explosive the news was and how much attention it had attracted.
Many people who saw the news on Weibo followed the trail to Su Nian’s livestream. When they saw the face on their screens, they were too stunned to speak.
Su Nian leaned back in her chair, watching Yu Xin without a shred of concern. Her gaze was indifferent, completely apathetic, not the least bit curious about what Yu Xin had become.
There wasn’t a trace of fear or panic in her.
’Yu Xin is still an idiot. She’s not going to get any smarter just because she died once.’
The Yu Xin before her was still changing. The stench of rot from her body intensified, and the death-spots began to appear in large patches.
She had suffered multiple fractures when she fell from the building. Now, her body made CRACKLING and SNAPPING sounds.
The places where her bones had broken that day were being re-enacted one by one. Its body bent at an impossible angle. At some point, its clothes had become caked with blood.
Blood went DRIP, DRIP, DRIP onto the floor.
"I’ve come for you..."
Yu Xin moved forward, slow and stiff. With every step, blood dripped onto the floor. A putrid stench mixed with the coppery smell of blood assaulted Su Nian’s nostrils.
"I’ve come for you. I’ve come for you."
Yu Xin’s footsteps slowly drew closer, and the number of people gathered in Su Nian’s livestream grew larger and larger.
Among them was the very medical examiner who had inspected Yu Xin’s body that day. His mouth hung wide open. He was a staunch materialist, a firm believer that ghosts and ghouls simply did not exist.
Even with the many supernatural incidents reported over the years, he had always dismissed them as fake news or media exaggerations.
But seeing Yu Xin now, he was shocked. Every injury on her body, the decaying lividity—it was all exactly the same as what he had found during the autopsy!
Security at the bureau was extremely tight; a leak was impossible. An impersonation was even more out of the question.
’Who else could possibly know what Yu Xin looked like when she died?’
His mouth hung open, and he could feel his heart pounding in his chest.
When he snapped back to reality, he turned and ran. He had to get to the morgue to see, to confirm if Yu Xin’s body was still there!
