But contrary to the bullet comments' expectations, the husband did not return to the bedroom with the kitchen knife; instead, he opened the door and walked into the dark corridor.
Under the dim light, his tall figure seemed somewhat distorted.
Screams soon came from the darkness.
“Ah!”
A scream pierced the night, startling Yun Zhi awake, and she abruptly opened her eyes.
Before she could sit up to see what happened, a big hand from the bedside reached over and patted her back soothingly.
In her daze, Yun Zhi saw the tall figure sitting by the bed: “Husband?”
“Were you frightened?” Under the dim light, the husband's features were not clear, only a rough outline, his voice low and hoarse.
Yun Zhi seemed to smell a faint smell of blood in the air, mixed with the chilling aura emanating from her husband, instantly making one think of some unpleasant scenes.
“It seemed like there was some noise just now?” Yun Zhi nuzzled against his large hand that had brushed against her cheek.
The husband soothed in a low voice: “It came from outside, don't worry.”
His hand was as ice-cold as the rest of him, and the lingering smell of blood came from there. Yun Zhi pretended not to notice and hummed an “Oh.”
The husband gently comforted her again: “Go to sleep, it's fine.”
Before closing her eyes, Yun Zhi saw that the husband's other hand was still dripping blood.
But she still closed her eyes peacefully.
Hee hee, he's even willing to hide someone else's blood for her, afraid of scaring her—he loves her so much!
So this is what it feels like when your husband is a pervert? It doesn't seem so bad?
【Sometimes you have to admire the streamer's thick-skinnedness】
【Is it possible that the streamer saw it but doesn't care? It's not like she can go and question the ghoul about what's going on, right?】
【Still daring to sleep with this kind of ghoul, the streamer is this 『thumb』】
【Is it possible it's because the ghoul is handsome?】
When she woke up the next day, there was no blood by the bed, but Yun Zhi still inadvertently noticed a drop of bloodstain under the bed.
Proving that last night was not her illusion.
However, she still acted as if she hadn't seen it, and just like yesterday, after breakfast she saw her husband off to work.
The eerie husband reminded her again before leaving: “Wife, don't open the door casually; there are bad people outside, understand?”
The bloodstains on the front door from yesterday had been cleaned up sometime or other. Yun Zhi smiled and nodded: “Got it.”
After her husband left, Yun Zhi noticed that today there was no sound of chopping vegetables from upstairs, only the sound of rushing water.
Just like the first day, the smell of blood came from the toilet.
Yun Zhi didn't want to clean right now, and didn't want to look yet, but who knew the smell of blood would get heavier, even bloody water spreading at the bathroom doorway.
As if if she didn't clean it soon, the bloody water would spread throughout the whole house.
That won't do.
“Really adding to my workload.” Yun Zhi muttered as she walked toward the bathroom.
When she pushed open the bathroom door, it was already covered in scarlet bloody water, and the pungent smell of blood was about to engulf Yun Zhi.
The toilet was like a fountain, with bloody water gurgling out.
There was no large clump of black hair like the other day; instead, Yun Zhi saw a pale hand, with faint traces of bright red, mottled nail polish on the fingernails.
Other small human remains were also emerging from the toilet.
“This is...” Yun Zhi stood at the doorway, musing, “Hero fragments?”
【Hero fragments, what a hellish joke!】
【Without this streamer, who would make me laugh in a sinister game?】
【So disgusting, I'm about to throw up watching this】
The dismembered limbs writhed on the floor, as if desiring, as if unwilling.
With a disgusted expression, Yun Zhi picked up the mop beside her again.
Mop it clean, mop it all clean.
Fortunately, Yun Zhi had extensive work experience, having carried corpses at a funeral home for half a year, so she was long accustomed to such bloody scenes. In her mind, she only thought about being a clean-loving happy housewife.
So if you want to not be afraid in the strange world, it's simple—just work part-time at a funeral home.
Yun Zhi mopped up the bloody water in the bathroom, and those dismembered limbs, like the big clump of hair from the first day, were flushed back into the toilet.
After finishing this, she was exhausted and collapsed on the sofa to rest.
Day after day, it's been killing her.
Being a full-time housewife is really not easy.
Yun Zhi turned on the TV to relax and found that a missing person notice was playing.
It turned out that Mr. Zhang's wife, who lived in Building 4, 15th Floor of Happy Garden Community, had been missing for three days.
“I don't know where she went. I hope we can find her soon.” Facing the camera, the honest and simple-looking Mr. Zhang wiped away tears sadly.
Beside him was a photo of his wife.
The woman in the photo had long black hair, and her hands with red nail polish were folded in front of her.
“How pitiful.” Yun Zhi stared at the woman's photo for two seconds, sighing faintly.
【At a time like this, still has the mood to pity people on TV. Women are so emotional.】
【The person above is sick, isn't your mother a woman?】
【Stop with the off-topic discussion, don't you think it's suspicious to broadcast this news at such a time?】
【That woman's hand, I feel like I've seen it somewhere】
The bullet comments were discussing intensely, and Yun Zhi heard the knocking sound again.
Through the door, Yun Zhi heard a man asking: “Hello, have you seen my wife? She's missing.”
The man's voice exactly matched the missing person news replaying on TV.
Yun Zhi looked through the peephole, and the honest and simple-looking Mr. Zhang had specks of blood on his face.
He also had a strange smile on his face, and looking toward the peephole, he repeated: “Hello, have you seen my wife?”
His tone was strange and distorted.
