Volume 1: Die with Unclosed Eyes 20. Haunted by an Infant Spirit

The more carefully I listened, the more real the sound of the baby crying became, but there was no other unusual sound besides the baby crying.

This woman must have had mental problems after being abandoned by Wu Xinwei, which is why she is in such an unusual state.

It’s also helpless, “a piece of good meat is right at my fingertips, but it fails at the last moment”, which shows that my love luck is not good enough.

Thinking of this, I reached out to help her up, but this woman was like a madman, kicking and hitting and refusing to get up. In the end, I lost my patience and dragged the woman up. Regardless of her desperate struggles, I put her on the bed and was about to pull the blanket over her when I suddenly saw a gray baby lying on the woman's bare belly.

The baby looked like a newborn, with his facial features not fully developed and his eyes unable to open. But the scary thing was that his skin was bluish-gray and he was crying with his mouth open.

The baby crying I heard just now didn't come from the neighbor's house, but...

I didn't dare think further. I heard it more clearly now. It seemed that the baby's cry was sometimes far away, sometimes near, sometimes left, sometimes right, and not fixed at one point. It was quite ethereal. Then I felt my body getting colder and colder, as if the heat was constantly dissipating. I couldn't help but clench my teeth and shiver with the woman.

But when I looked at the woman's belly again, the blue-gray baby had disappeared. The woman's flat belly was empty, without any abnormality. Was I hallucinating? I listened carefully, but even the baby's crying had disappeared.

The woman seemed to have fainted due to the great fear. I turned on the bedroom light and saw that her face was pale, even her lips had lost their color. She was lying on the bed, so weak that she couldn't even move.

"Is he the baby you were talking about?" I tried to keep my voice calm.

"Yes, you heard it too?" she asked, looking around vigilantly.

"Do you often hear babies crying?"

The woman nodded nervously and said, "It's been almost a year. I can hear the baby crying every night. I'm almost going crazy and even thinking about committing suicide ."

I didn't dare tell her that I had just seen a baby lying on her belly, as that would only upset her further. I thought for a moment and said, "You wouldn't really kill or eat human flesh, would you?"

The woman sighed and said, "The scrambled eggs contained placenta, which is human flesh. But I didn't kill anyone."

Chinese people do eat placenta, and the effects are said to be very obvious. I thought about it and said, "Why are you playing tricks on me online?"

"You know the situation. I don't want to stay here alone, but everyone who has come into contact with me can't accept my behavior and leaves after spending a short time with me. So I can only keep looking for strangers online. I need company. I don't dare to be alone."

"Then you can look for your family, why are you looking for outsiders like us?"

"I'm an orphan with no family. My friends are just like you. No one dares to be with me anymore since the strange things happened around me."

After understanding the woman's purpose, I felt a little sympathetic. After all, she was a beauty. I thought about it and said, "Why did this happen to you?"

"I...I don't know." She answered reluctantly.

She must have some unspeakable secrets, so I didn't ask any further questions. However, if this house is haunted , it must be unclean. Thinking of this, I said, "You should move out of this house and everything will be fine."

She shook her head helplessly and said, "It's no use. I've already changed three houses, from south to north and then to west. No matter where I go, I can't escape it."

"Then your problem is really tricky." I grinned.

"Please don't leave me, okay? Wait until tomorrow morning. I'll do whatever you want me to do, as long as you don't leave at night."

Thinking of the baby with a blue-gray body, my scalp kept tightening, but how could I refuse such a beautiful woman's sad request? So I turned on all the lights in the room, and sat on the bed with her in my arms. Soon the woman fell asleep in my arms, and I was the only one awake in the huge room. Fortunately, I didn't hear the baby's voice again.

In the second half of the night, my eyelids were drooping and I was about to close my eyes and take a nap when the woman leaning against me suddenly shook violently. I was scared, but she didn't wake up. However, she broke out in cold sweat like rain, which even soaked my clothes.

Something was wrong. I tried to wake her up, but no matter how loud I shouted, I couldn't wake her up. I had no choice but to hold her until dawn.

After seven o'clock, she finally woke up with a shudder. It was obvious that her mental state was extremely bad. This could only be caused by a nightmare. She didn't say a word, biting her blue lips tightly and staring at the ceiling.

"I'll go buy breakfast." I felt that this was the only thing I could do.

She shook her head woodenly and said, "There's milk in the kitchen cupboard and bread in the refrigerator. If you're hungry, you can fill your stomach first. You're the only one who can stay with me until daytime, so don't leave, okay? Stay with me for a while."

I thought for a moment and said, "I'm going to call the office to ask for leave. Can you stay for a while?"

She nodded and said, "Come back soon."

I walked to the balcony , took out my cell phone and called Luo Tianbao. Although Luo Tianbao had told me not to meddle in other people's business, if I didn't take care of this matter, the woman would die sooner or later, and I couldn't just stand by and watch her die.

Luo Tianbao was still asleep early in the morning, and he was dazed when I answered the phone. I had to explain it twice before he understood the whole story and said, "She's been haunted by an infant spirit ."

"Infant spirit? What the hell is that?"

"It's hard to explain in a few words, but it's really troublesome to provoke an infant spirit. You'd better stay away from her."

"No one cares about her anymore. If we don't take care of her, she'll die. Second brother, we do this to accumulate merit. We can't just stand by and watch her die."

"Alas, why do I find myself in more and more troubles since I met you?"

"Brother, can you please help me?"

"Isn't this girl beautiful?"

I was stunned by his question, not understanding what he meant. After a while, I said, "Yes, this girl is indeed very beautiful."

Luo Tianbao said, "Let me remind you, there's only one reason a woman is haunted by an infant spirit: she's had an abortion. I don't know how beautiful this girl is, but I know she must have had an abortion recently. Why would a grown man like you date a woman who's had an abortion?"

I was stunned again, and this time I was stunned for even longer before I replied, "She's just an ordinary friend. I just felt sorry for her and helped her out."

"I hope you two are just ordinary friends, Xiao Zhen. Our family is not a small family. If you want to find a girlfriend, at least find an older girl, and don't get involved with women who have had abortions."

"Second brother, I, I..." I didn't know what to say.

"It's okay, I came here with my brother today to check on the situation." I felt relieved after hearing this, so I went back to the room and indicated that "I have already asked for leave."

The woman nodded slightly and said, "Thank you. If you hadn't been with me yesterday, I really wouldn't want to live."

"I don't even know your name yet, what should I call you?" I said.

"My name is Yu Fengmei, you can call me Sisi, Sisi is my nickname."

"My name is Yu Zhen, let's get to know each other." I stretched out my right hand and shook hands with her.

This is a very strange scene. I am in the same room with a naked beauty, and our only physical contact is handshake. From today on, if anyone dares to say that I am not Liu Xiahui, I will definitely scratch his car.

"Yu Zhen, what a great name! A Taoist priest once said that my name and my birth date are both yin, and that I'm likely to attract evil spirits. I didn't like it at the time, but now I think that Taoist priest was truly an expert."

"Yeah, but why did you attract dirty things ?" I hoped she would tell the truth.

Sisi seemed to be hesitant to speak, so I waved my hand and said, "If it's inconvenient, don't say it. I understand."

"It's all because of him." Sisi said in a low voice.

"For whom?"

"The man I mentioned yesterday, Wu Xinwei."

"Were you emotionally deceived by him?"

Sisi shook her head and said, "There's nothing romantic between him and me. I got pregnant with his child last year. We had agreed to get married in secret, but I found out he had another woman outside, so I took some medicine and aborted the baby in anger . " Sisi was in agony when she said this.
