Chapter 32: Return of the Dead
His fingertip silently hovered over Option C for a few seconds, but ultimately, Bai Yan breathed out a sigh and pressed Option B.
He wanted to violently swing a hammer on the snake-neck monster and hit it to death. However, the incident with the ghost baby showed that these monsters can’t be killed.
After choosing Option B, Bai Yan watched himself shake Wu Jingang with all his might. But seeing that he didn’t wake up at all, Bai Yan slowly raised his hands to the sides of Wu Jingang’s face and powerfully slapped both sides.
After a long pause, Wu Jingang was finally able to arouse from his blanked state, and his long neck was able to steadily return to its normal length. Bai Yan could hear himself ask in a trembling manner, “Jingang, is that you?”
“Yes, it’s me. What’s wrong, Yanyan? Did you have another nightmare again?”
“You don’t remember what just happened to your neck?” Bai Yan saw that he made a gesture with his hands, “Your neck unexpectedly became creepily long, which was scarier than what happened yesterday night. Your neck was even elongated and twisted until you were right in front of my face. It was extremely intimidating!”
“Jingang, I’m really not messing with you. You were surely possessed by a ghost!”
After two consecutive nights of these complaints, Wu Jingang also started becoming skeptical of the situation. He was puzzled as he touched his neck but felt that his neck was still a normal one, absolutely different from his wife’s previous motions that indicated that it was as long as a goose’s neck.
The next day, Wu Jingang woke up early in the morning and prepared to take Bai Yan to a psychiatrist.
