Chapter 199: 199


    Seeing this, Ah Xing was naturally afraid. She wanted to wake Xiao Jie but didn’t dare to get too close. Xiao Jie was like a different person. Even though her eyes were close, her expression was horrifying. “What is she doing?” After a few more chops, Xiao Jie slowly turned while holding the knives. Her eyes were still closed. Ah Xing kept her mouth shut as she slowly moved backwards. Before she could do anything else, Xiao Jie strode past Ah Xing and headed to the bedroom. Standing inside the dark bedroom, Xiao Jie with her eyes closed aimed at the ce where Ah Xing had been sleeping and chopped with all her might!


    The cleavesnded one after another, they were meant to kill. Ah Xing’s legs weakened from this sight. If she was not awakened by the sound, she would be minced meat already. The knives shredded the fluffy pillows and bed sheet. Veins pulsed on Xiao Jie’s skin and her expression was maddeningly crazy. Ah Xing had not seen that kind of expression on Xiao Jie before. Her impression of Xiao Jie was graceful and sometimes a bit too cowardly. But now it was like some other person was living inside Xiao Jie. Ah Xing abandoned the n to wake Xiao Jie, she just wanted to leave. ‘If Xiao Jie has done this thing in the past, doesn’t that mean she was the one who killed her husband in her sleep? But didn’t she say he has gone missing? And where is his body?’


    Ah Xing could not fathom the possibility that Xiao Jie, who normally wouldn’t dare to hurt a fly, could dismember and hide a man’s body on her own. Just as Ah Xing retreated to the door, Xiao Jie’s hands that held the knives suddenly stopped. She appeared to hear something. Her body turned slightly before she stopped to face Ah Xing. Her eyes were closed but the knives in her hands nudged degree by degree until the points of the knives were urately directed at Ah Xing. Enveloped by terror, Ah Xing retreated in shock as Xiao Jie strode emotionlessly after her prey!


    The familiar face looked so strange to Ah Xing then. She picked up her pace and raced towards the front door. She wrapped her hands around the doorknob but it refused to turn. The door had been locked. Seeing Xiao Jie slowly approaching, Ah Xing finally lost her control. She screamed Xiao Jie’s name shrilly. Then something even more terrifying happened. Xiao Jie who was dream-walking appeared to hear Ah Xing’s voice. Her eyelids fluttered before they flipped open altogether. Inside those prettyrge eyes, there were only pulsating eyeballs and eye white. Xiao Jie appeared positively possessed!


    However, Xiao Jie did note any closer to Ah Xing, perhaps it was thetter’s voice that evoked something within her. Instead, Xiao Jie started to rummage around therge home as if looking for something. Ah Xing took out her phone to call for help but realized that there was no signal. She patted on the front door but there was no answer. Now her only hope was the bungalow window. However, the window was on the other side of the living room where Xiao Jie currently roamed.


    She summoned her courage to move forward. The sound of rummaging entered her ears. When she came closer, Ah Xing was shocked by what she saw. Xiao Jie who still held the knives pulled out bags of stuff wrapped in cling wrap from behind the paintings, inside the art pieces, under the sofa and so on. Xiao Jie normally was a neat and tidy housewife. Those virtues showed now as evidenced by the fact that extra care was taken to wrap up these things and cling wrap was used to keep them fresh and secure. Xiao Jie then took out new rolls of cling wrap from some hidden corner of the living room. When everything was ready, Xiao Jie turned back to Ah Xing. “We should have enough storage space now. With a little squeeze here and there, there should be enough space to fit the two of you.”


    Xiao Jie who was definitely not her usual self lunged at Ah Xing. The clock ticked. Ah Xing’s screams slowly died away. At 3.42 am, Xiao Jie who was bathed in blood appeared in the middle of the screen. She was still holding the knives. Her body was contorted in crazy angles. It was as if there was something inside Xiao Jie who was controlling her to do these inexplicable things.


    Xiao Jie who stood in the living room slowly turned her pupil-less eyes around like she was studying the room. Eventually, her eyesnded right at the video screen. It was as if she had spotted Huang Yin who was watching the video. The eyeballs pulsed viciously. She gripped the knives and started to move towards the screen!


    And then, the video went ck. This time, the video was halted for quite some time. When the video returned, Xiao Jie had already copsed to the ground. Her expression showed a girl serenely asleep. But there was a trail of bloody footprints that led away from her. The footprint was facing towards the screen like someone was walking towards it.


    The video ended then. Huang Yin nced at the time at the corner of his phone, it was 3.43 am. It matched the time which was inside the video.


    “Is this some kind of prank?” Huang Yin closed the video and intended to pm the user who sent him the link but when he checked the id, he realized the id had been turned into a string of unrecognizable code. When he clicked on it, the system said that the user did not exist. “That’s impossible! I remember the user’s name was the witness.” Huang Yin’s fear slowly returned. He quickly deleted the video and cleared his files. Huang Yin stepped out from the bath. The temperature regtion unit appeared to have broken. He felt strangely cold that night. Wiping away the water, Huang Yin grabbed a robe and exited the bathroom. He scanned the dark room and felt suffocated by it.


    After turning on all the lights, Huang Yin still felt quite ufortable. Fatigue and drowsiness imed him. His brain felt heavy but he could not sleep. Something niggled at his mind. ‘The thing wouldn’t have reallye out from the video, would it?’ Huang Yin tossed and turned on his king-sized bed. He eventually rolled to his bedside table and pulled open the drawer. He shook out 2 sleeping pills. ‘I must stop scaring myself. That was just a prank, it has to be.’


    Tossing back the pills, Huang Yin went back to bed. The pills worked to pull him under but his mind was active with images of horrible monsters. Underneath it all, he believed he could hear a series of hurried footsteps. ‘Why is there the sound of footsteps?’


    Huang Yin’s eyes flew open and when he did, an indescribable fear gripped him. The lights inside the bedroom had been switched off. There was a figure moving around his living room before it entered the kitchen. As time moved towards 3.44 am, the figure exited the kitchen. Based on the silhouette, it was a woman and she was holding something in her hands.
