Chapter 76

now how to rob graves, though I wouldn't dare teach her that.I took the paper, and looking at those ghostly scribbles, like tadpole characters from some ancient script, I broke out in a cold sweat. I...I opened my eyes and looked around.

Hongjie was leaning against the wall with her eyes closed, resting. She didn't say anything.

I thought it was just myself being afraid of the water, too nervous to have hallucinations, so I didn't pay much attention and continued to close my eyes and recover my strength.

"Are you alright, Yunfeng"

Just as I had closed my eyes for only a short while, Hong Jie's voice came again.

Opening his eyes, he saw that Red Sister was still as she always was, and hadn't spoken.

"Slap," I slapped myself hard.

Across the way, Red Sister heard the sound.

"What's wrong Yun Feng, why are you hitting yourself"

I wouldn't say I might have been hearing things, so I was about to say I was fine.

Words are on the tip of my tongue.

I uncontrollably blurted out, "What's wrong, Yunfeng Why are you hitting yourself"

"

" Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

I'm even learning to speak like Red Sister!

Hong Jie's mind raced, her face paling as she uttered three words in a hushed tone.

Who are you

At this moment, I am fully aware. I want to say that I am Yunfeng.

Can be spoken out loud.

Without thinking, I blurted out, “Who are you”

I'm scared because I'm reminded of the former Chen Tucheng. Wasn't he like this too

My friend and I still joke about Chen Tǔgōng, saying he's crazy and mentally ill.

Why am I like this too!

Could I be going crazy too

This is the aftereffect of me smelling those stinky yellow intestines, right Those old geezers' smelly faces But I distinctly remember Red Sister smelled them too. Why is she fine

I heard this voice last night in the fog.

Red Sister's face was pale. She looked at me and made a gesture for silence.

After getting up, she frowned and circled me.

Hong Jie said: "Yun Feng, don't speak, just listen to me.

"

"

"

I covered my mouth with one hand and nodded.

"I ask you, have you ever experienced any hallucinations, or auditory hallucinations"

I nodded, pointing to my ears, indicating that I had heard it before.

"What sound did you hear first Don't rush, think carefully."

">

After thinking about it carefully, I remembered something very strange.

Last night, that sound was very close to me when I first heard it, and I could hear it clearly. Then, I felt the sound getting farther away.

The sound originated right next to me.

The amulet was still hanging around my neck. I patted my pockets, they were empty and dry.

Suddenly, my face turned pale!

It just occurred to me.

Last time I grabbed a legless insect that looked like a cicada at random. I didn't think much of it and just shoved it into my pocket.

Where did it go

How did the cicada get away without legs

The more I thought about it, the more frightened I became. Right in front of Red Sister's eyes.

I slowly took off my pants. to sink at an alarming rate.My heart was pounding with anxiety, but I couldn't move. I yelled with red eyes, but all I could do was watch Dr. An sink little by little.Just at this critical moment."Sl...
