Chapter 11: The Weeping Woman (2)
The old saying goes that every day feels like a year, and now Xiaoyan feels like every second is as long as a century. Xiaoyan walked step by step to the front of the woman with great difficulty, and the scene flashing before her eyes was replayed in her mind again, and the voice "Yanyan" echoed deeply, making Xiaoyan feel that her brain was constantly swelling.
At last, the woman was within arm's reach, and Xiaoyan's heart was racing with excitement, but more so with a sense of trepidation. She cautiously raised her hand, hesitated for a moment, then put it back down, repeating this motion countless times before finally making up her mind to slowly and carefully raise it again. As her fingertips drew closer to the woman's hair, her heart pounded faster. The entire world seemed to have narrowed down to Xiaoyan's heartbeat, the woman's soft sobbing, and Xiaoyan's own ragged breathing, which she struggled to calm down as she took deep gulps of air.
His fingertips were about to touch her hair scattered on her white dress covering her face. One second, two seconds...
The heartbeat is roaring violently, thumping and pounding...
Finally touched, with the fingertips transmitting a soft and delicate feeling, as if the answer was in front of me, but that soft and fluffy tactile sensation disappeared in an instant. Unreal yet real.
All that was left was the crying woman's body slowly softening, slowly melting away... The sobbing grew fainter and fainter as her body melted, until all that remained was a puddle of water on the ground, proof that she had existed.
Xiao Yan stared blankly at the unbelievable scene unfolding before her eyes, her body seemingly numb and unable to move, not even able to lift her legs to leave.
The icy sensation at her fingertips crawled up her nerves, numbing Xiaoyan's mind.
It's been a long time... Xiaoyan stretched out her hand and lifted it up to take a look, the fingertips that had just touched 'her' were stained with a bright red color, tender and dripping... The air was filled with the smell of blood, wildly pulling at Xiaoyan's fragile nerves, creating an atmosphere that made people feel suffocated.
The water stain on the ground remained still in its original place. Xiaoyan didn't dare to move a single step, her mind crazily repeating the woman's crying voice, repeating that voice calling out 'Yan Yan', repeating the face in the mirror... The last living person melting into water left an eternal and terrifying mark in Xiaoyan's mind.
Xiao Yan finally couldn't bear it anymore, squatting on the ground with both hands holding her head that was about to explode.
"Ah——" screamed out, releasing the inner fear, tears unknowingly fell down, dripping onto fingertips, blending with that bright red.
A cold laughter echoed from behind, constantly stimulating her already collapsed heart.
Hehehehehehe...
Only to see that the water surface re-fused, slowly forming a transparent human shape, eventually turning back into its original appearance, as if nothing had changed. It was still the woman, standing with her long hair like black silk curtains covering her face. The woman stretched out her pale and icy hand, almost touching Xiaoyan's shoulder.
Xiao Yan finally reacted, throwing away all her fears and numbness, running recklessly, just like she was avoiding those especially icy hands in her dream. She was afraid that if she slowed down even a step, she would disappear under those icy hands, just like in the dream.
Ran desperately, in the darkness, in the endless silence, behind her seemed to be countless fierce beasts, about to catch up, ready to tear Xiaoyan into pieces and devour her alive.
A sense of impending crisis loomed over Xiaoyan's heart.
Behind her, the sounds of crying and laughter rose and fell, intersecting with each other. Xiaoyan didn't have time to look back, nor did she dare to look back, fearing that it would be another scene that would plunge her into an endless abyss of fear!
Run! Only this one word in mind, desperately running, aimlessly running...
Suddenly, a iron gate blocked the way ahead, Xiao Yan stopped with a loud panting, using all her strength to push it but couldn't open it. Xiao Yan knocked heavily on the gate making 'Dong Dong Dong' sounds, but the iron gate remained still, as the white shadow behind was getting closer and closer, the crying and laughing sounds were getting louder and more intense, making Xiao Yan's heart thump with anxiety.
What to do?! Xiaoyan's heart was anxious, the image in her mind that had turned into water seemed to be reminding her of her own future. She had no other thoughts, just to live! She only wanted to live! To leave this terrible dream alive.
