The ghost is coming to attack

  Tears welled up in my eyes as I slowly came to, finding myself in a small, dark room with no windows. A dim yellow lamp hung from the ceiling above me, casting an eerie glow. I was lying on a metal bed, which felt hard against my body. I slowly sat up, but had no idea how long I had been unconscious.

  "Awake?" Huo Xiao Ran appeared in mid-air, looking at me with a cold face, his eyes slightly narrowed.

  I felt a little flustered, because of the cold and sharp aura emanating from him. I unconsciously shifted my body backward, not daring to respond, and only nodded lightly after a long time, responding to his question.

  My eyes wandered around the room, a thick iron door that seemed to be the only way in and out. The surroundings were very quiet, I didn't know if it was day or night in this environment.

  "I..." I opened my mouth, but didn't know what to say.

  Huo Xiao Ran suddenly disappeared from thin air and then appeared right in front of me. He said coldly, "Tell me, where are you going?"

  Staring at him, I was a little afraid. If I told the truth, what would he be like? Angry? Now that I'm in prison, where should I go? My hand gently stroked my belly, and I didn't say anything. Before waiting for my response, he suddenly disappeared without saying anything. I don't know if he was angry or saw something.

  Just as I was about to go crazy in the little black room, the iron door was opened by someone. A woman with no expression and a voice devoid of emotion shouted: "Come out, you can be transferred to an ordinary prison cell."

  As I stepped out of the "door", a strong beam of light made me squint, the sunlight coming through the glass was very intense and somewhat piercing. She led the way in front, while another woman dressed in the same uniform followed behind me, their police attire making them look very authoritative.

  She led me into a room, took a set of clothes from the counter, turned around and said to me: "Go in, take a bath and change your clothes. I will seal up what you are wearing now and 'hand' them over to the storage room. If you have another chance to go out, they will be returned to you." After finishing speaking, she pushed open the door and gestured for me to enter.

  I was led to a single room, specifically for bathing. After I casually rinsed off and walked out, because before entering, they had asked me to wash up and come out to put on clothes. I put on the gray prison uniform and was taken by her to another room, where there was only one woman wearing a white robe, who looked like she was somewhat older.

  "Number 21005, physical examination before entering prison." The female police officer said coldly and then pushed me onto the chair.

  The examination was simple, blood pressure was measured, an electrocardiogram was taken, and finally a blood sample was drawn. Then the doctor asked if I had any diseases, I shook my head. Faced with all this, I felt lost and didn't know how to react until I was sent into the cell.

  The room wasn't a single, two high and low 'beds' were placed inside, three had people already, the female police officer held a police baton and knocked on the edge of the bed before turning around and leaving.

  I was a bit scared, wanting to look but not daring to look at the three people in the cell, until I sat down on the edge of the 'bed', an upper bunk young woman stretched out her hand and pulled me up, looked at the number on my chest and said: "21005, what did you do?"

  Her tone sounded quite friendly, I shook my head and tears fell again: "I didn't, I was framed!"

  "Is that so? There are quite a few people who have been wronged here, you're really unlucky!" The woman lay back on the bed, propped up her feet and began to examine her own hands.

  I didn't dare speak again, and just as I sat down, someone across from me shouted: "Who told you to sit down!"

  It was a fat woman with short hair, or rather not the tall bulge in front of her chest, she looked more like a rough man, and I don't know if it's because her face is too fat, her eyes look like two thin lines, just the icy and terrifying expression on her face, I was stunned for a moment, and immediately stood up again.

  "Hong Ning, show her the surveillance footage!"

  The woman on the upper bunk dropped a notebook, which landed right on my face, making my whole face ache. I picked it up and flipped through it, only to find that it was filled with handwritten notes in messy handwriting that looked like something a primary school student would write.

  "Remember, memorize all of these before you sleep, the first one must be handed over by tomorrow night at the latest, or else..." She let out a cold hum and lay back on the bed, flipping her body and causing the bed to creak.

  And I slowly sat back on the 'bed', looked at it seriously, and after seeing the first one, I was stunned. 500 yuan, the first one asked me to pay 500 yuan! Unconsciously, I reached out to touch my clothes, I didn't have a single penny on me!

  "I... I wanted to have a good talk with her, but I didn't have any money on me. Not even 500 yuan, let alone one yuan. But what I didn't expect was that as soon as I opened my mouth, she suddenly sat up from the 'bed', her face turned sideways and she jumped onto the ground. Before I could react, she had already lifted me up by the collar of my shirt."

  I even forgot to speak, she stared at me, her face close to mine, I could even feel the breath from her mouth spraying onto my face, warm and with a hint of foul smell.

  "It seems you don't understand the rules?" Her other hand directly pinched my chin, and the force in her hand almost made me faint.

  "Speak up while I'm sleeping! Hong Ning, come down and teach her a lesson!" As soon as the words fell, she suddenly threw me, and I flew up into the air, heavily crashing onto the 'door', I lay limp on the ground, staring at her in terror, even my breathing was barely audible.

  "Yes!" The 'girl' on the upper bunk got up and came down from the bed, barefoot but holding her shoes in hand, walked over to my side, didn't say a word, raised her shoe and whipped it across my back, saying: "Get up, squat against the wall!"

  My body ached all over, I didn't dare make a sound, according to her instructions, I curled up and squatted in the corner of the wall. I thought that would be enough, but unexpectedly she used even more force to slap the sole of her shoe on my body, shouting softly: "Who told you to do this? Move your back away from the wall! Stand on your heels for me! If you dare to put them down, be careful or I'll whip you to death!"

  The voice was very small, but the coldness inside couldn't be expressed in words. I didn't even dare to look up at her, hanging my head low, biting my lip, and trying hard to endure. I must survive! I will ask for an appeal tomorrow, and I will definitely leave this place!

  Faith has become my only support now, according to her, I lifted my heels and raised my hands high above my head. This action is more difficult than I thought, several times because of the instability of my body, my heels just slightly touched the ground, and a woman called Hong Ning violently slapped my back and head.

  My tears fell, not because of the pain on my body, but because of the humiliation in my heart! I started to reflect on myself, why did I believe Wang Shu, I hated myself for being so naive and trusting Hua Xuran, otherwise, none of this would have happened! Suddenly, I found myself to be so childish, facing all this, yet I didn't even have the strength to fight back.

  "I was wrong! Tomorrow I'll hand it over to you without a single cent missing!" I said in a low voice, unable to bear the physical pain.

  As expected, the 'draw' in Hong Ning's hand stopped, and she didn't dare to raise her head. However, she could guess that it was definitely that fat 'woman' who signaled her to stop.

  "Alright! Since you understand now, get some good rest!" The rough voice of the fat woman came over, and Hong Ning only then left, crawling back onto the bed. I was stunned for a while before slowly getting up, carrying the pain on my back as I crawled onto the bed.

  Tears fell drop by drop onto the pillow, for the first time, I found it wasn't salty, but bitter! The bitterness was like that of a yellow lotus, yet I couldn't express it.

  I didn't sleep until I couldn't cry anymore, and then I fell into a deep sleep. As soon as it got light, I was startled awake by a hand wandering over my body. When I opened my eyes, I saw Hong Ning's face in front of me. Her tongue lightly licked her lips, and there was a hint of lust in her eyes. I was terrified and opened my mouth to scream, but she covered it with her hand.

  "If you listen and behave, your future days will be better. If you don't listen, there's no 'regret medicine' to buy in this world!"

  Her voice was very soft, almost a whisper, and then her hand began to move from my lower abdomen towards my chest, I looked at her in horror, not daring to believe that a woman was actually caressing me.

  I suddenly gasped for air, shook off her hand and burst into tears: "Don't! Please don't!"

  "What's going on?!"

  The fat woman spoke up, and the lights turned on, but I was looking at the fat woman opposite me and shouted: "I'll pay the money, really, please don't make things difficult for me!" I hugged myself, curled my body into a ball in the corner of the bed, and burst into tears.

  Hong Ning smiled lightly and then let go of me, standing up and saying: "Big sister, that... I!"

  "Hong Ning, how many times have I said it? Newcomers don't 'pay' up, stop messing around! If you block my way to wealth, be careful or I'll 'fix' you!" The fat woman shouted angrily.

  Hong Ning accompanied with a smile: "Yes, yes!"

  But I cried even louder, because earlier the fat woman said that she couldn't touch me before I paid the money, so what about after I pay the money tomorrow? Do I have to endure Hong Ning's molestation?

  Taking advantage of Hong Ning's inattention, I pushed her away and rushed to the "door", pounding on it with all my might and shouting loudly. I had gone mad, not even caring about the pain spreading through my hands. I used every ounce of strength I had, even lifting my feet off the ground, hoping to attract the attention of the prison guards. Sure enough, within three minutes, the "door" was opened, but I collapsed to the ground, hugging the guard's legs and bursting into tears, clinging tightly to them, refusing to let go!

  This is directly hell, it's not a place for humans! I want to leave here, as long as I can leave here, I'm willing to do anything!
