Chapter 46: First Encounter with Grape-like Fetus X, Strange Infant Strikes Again

  That was the first time she saw the fetus taken out by D&C, fragmented and without any baby-like shape, some were just strings of sticky and nauseating blisters, sacs, blood red, stinky, rotting grape-shaped things. The first time she saw these, she covered her mouth and ran out of the operating room, bent over and vomiting loudly into the trash can. She couldn't accept what was in front of her, couldn't accept that she would encounter such a situation in the future, couldn't accept that her own uterus would be carrying something like this sacs in the future.

  She remembered that when she came out of the operating room, her sister was crying and holding her hand tightly, her sister was so strong that it hurt her hand.

  She said to her sister: "Sister, you and your husband should not have any more children. As long as you don't get pregnant, this kind of thing won't happen again. Sister, I know it hurts a lot."

  Sister cried and said: "Stupid little sister, I'm not crying because of the pain. This bit of pain is nothing! I'm crying because this child is gone again. He should have been a healthy baby with four limbs, but now he's just a lump of flesh... I only wanted to help your husband's family have a baby, such a simple wish, and yet heaven won't even grant me that...... Waaahhh"

  ……

  I came to Qing Jiang's side and sat down beside her. Qing Jiang was pulling a fluffy yellow-green dogtail grass, she saw me, without surprise or astonishment, she seemed not to recognize me but also seemed to recognize me, with no fluctuation in her expression. She just looked at me for a moment, then continued to pull the dogtail grass in her hand.

  The dandelion in her hand was pulled by her and flew out a lot of fluff, scattered all over the ground.

  I said: "Qing Jiang, do you still recognize me? We met at the coffee shop on Longcheng Beijing Road not long ago."

  Qing Jiang calmly said: "I remember, you're called Zhu Thirteen. I saw you at my uncle's house that day. I didn't expect you to follow the medical team to our village."

  I said: "Hmm, actually your sister's condition should be fine."

  "I know, but my sister is even more stubborn than me. She has always wanted to have a child for her husband's family. I know she loves her husband very much and knows that he wants to have a child."

  "If they really want a child, it's not difficult to experience the joy of having one. They can simply adopt from an orphanage. Your sister is risking her life repeatedly getting pregnant and desperately wanting a child, but the pressure must be coming from her in-laws, that is, your brother-in-law's parents. If I'm not mistaken, after your sister married into their family, they've been eager to have someone to inherit their legacy and continue their bloodline. The older generation has strong feudal ideas and believes that there must be a blood heir."

  "You're right, yes, you see my sister doesn't even dare to go back to their home and wants to run back. I've been advising her, it's better to just get a divorce. But she won't agree, she says she can't leave my brother-in-law. If she leaves him, she'll be unable to live on."

  "Qing Jiang, why do you think you will have the same fate in the future? You are you, and your sister is your sister. Just because she has a history of miscarriage doesn't mean you will too."

  Qing Jiang did not refute me, nor did she express agreement with my views. She gazed into the distance, where the misty mountains in the water vapor were becoming increasingly clear as the sun rose.

  "The sun is out." Qing Jiang said lightly, "I'm going back to help my sister cook breakfast. Let's talk again sometime."

  I reluctantly bid farewell to her, watching her slender back, at this time the sun appeared in the distant mountains, a bundle of huge golden light slanting through the vast fields, the village, reflected on Qing Jiang's body, her body seemed to be emitting a layer of fragmented gold-like luster.

  I watched her walk across the fields, enter Xiayuan Village and disappear from view. I stood up, brushed off the dog tail grass fluff on my body, and headed towards the Leigong Inn.

  Before I returned to the Lei Gong Hotel, my mobile phone suddenly rang. I took it out of my pocket and saw that it was Chen Qiuyang calling me. My heart skipped a few beats, "Oh no, something must have happened to Yulan again!"

  "Hey, Autumn Sun, what's wrong—"

  "Thirteen, hurry back, Lanlan has been kidnapped by the Faceless Baby Killer again!" Chen Qiuyang shouted on the phone in a mournful voice.

  It's happened again! I was too careless, actually I had a premonition last night that the Double-Faced Baby would launch a sneak attack on us, but it didn't happen. Instead, it and Hongmei were doing something outside our room, then left. But now that it's daytime, it's launching a sneak attack? And is it seeking revenge for Ye Lan hitting it with an iron block last night or does it want to kidnap Ye Lan again to suck her neck blood?

  I rushed back to the Leigong Hotel, Chen Qiuyang and Ah Hao were already at a distance on the right side of the hotel entrance, they went further into the mountains. I quickened my pace and caught up with them.

  "This time, the killer twin-faced monster baby has taken control of Lanlan and is walking away with difficulty. Look, President Thirteen, over there!"

  As expected, Yulan walked step by step into the depths of the forest, and the killer twin-faced baby on her shoulders held an axe in its hand, as well as several small knives, which made me tremble with fear, worrying that we would startle it and it would chop off Yulan's neck with the axe.

  "What does it want to do, if it's here for revenge, it should have attacked Rulan in the room just now!"

  ……

  Not long after I left the room in the morning, Chen Qiuyang suddenly woke up from his sleep and saw that the two-faced killer baby was lying on the bed, leaning over with its head close to Rouran's face. One of its hands held a small knife and the other hand held a small clip, as if it was about to cut Rouran's neck again.

  "You monster, what exactly do you want to do!" Chen Qiuyang shouted loudly.

  Aoi Wakana was immediately startled awake, opening her eyes to see the terrifying two-faced killer baby. The two-faced baby then jumped onto Wakana's head and instantly took control of Aoi Wakana.

  Kui Ruo Lan's strength was greater than that of an average middle-aged man, but in front of the monster Double-Faced Infant, she couldn't withstand a single blow and had no power to resist.

  Chen Qiuyang picked up the prepared red handkerchief and waved it in front of him, rushing towards the two-faced monster baby. But to his surprise, the two-faced monster baby was not afraid of the red handkerchief at all. It opened its mouth wide, revealing a terrifying scream, like the sound of a snake spitting out its tongue, "Ssss".

  Chen Qiuyang was the first time so close to the killer two-faced baby, the first time to see the two-faced baby's two mouths, that was really frightening and disgusting. The teeth inside its mouth were all uneven, broken and worn out, with brown and black spots on the teeth.

  The most frightening thing is that inside its mouth, there are some yellowish, linear worm-like things, somewhat similar to nasal mites, but not nasal mites, somewhat like ascaris, but more slippery than ascaris.

  The Double-Faced Baby controlled Rouran, who walked to the window and suddenly jumped out, landing on a big tree behind. Chen Qiuyang wasn't that fierce, so he had to run out and try to escape from the front door, but when he was on the first floor, he bumped into Ah Hao, and the two of them went together to chase after the Double-Faced Baby. The three of us ran after him in pursuit.

  "Thirteen, that perverted freak is going to do something to Rouran's neck again. If I hadn't discovered it early, I'm afraid Rouran's neck would have had a few more cuts like that!"

  We chased for a distance and came back to the execution ground where we saw three skeletons tied to three wooden stakes yesterday.

  When Kui Ruolan walked over here, Kui Ruolan suddenly made a move ——

  Time went back to last night before I had a conversation with Aoi Roran:

  "Yolanda, what we saw was the creature with two faces standing on your shoulders and holding onto both sides of your head. Your actions at that time seemed to be out of your control. What did you feel at that moment?"

  "I also find it hard to express that feeling, can't put it into words. My brain and consciousness are very clear, but I just can't get the words out, my legs feel numb too - it's like I'm being pulled by a huge force, my own strength is completely useless. But later, I found that my hands could regain some freedom every now and then, which allowed me to leave clues for you with lipstick."

  "So that's how it is. Is this two-faced monster baby going to control people's brains?"

  "No, I didn't feel like my spirit was being controlled at all. It was an external force, the power of that strange baby. Although I later found out that my hands could move freely after a while without being controlled, I didn't dare to attack the strange baby on my shoulder. I was afraid that my hands' strength wouldn't be able to harm it, and would instead provoke it, maybe even breaking my neck."

  "It's true, but just in case, Lanlan, I've prepared a packet of super spicy chili powder for you. And I've added a special chemical to it. If something like this happens again or if you're in a desperate situation, you can sprinkle it on the monster baby's face from the front and take advantage of the moment when it's hurt to get away quickly."

  "Wow, you're so awesome, Yang Baozi!"

  "Of course, among the 42 professions I've done, there's also a chemical pharmacist. We can't beat it head-on, we can only outsmart it. Of course, when you sprinkle chili powder, remember to close your eyes and hold your breath, that way it won't harm you."

  So, when Kui Ruo Lan walked onto the scene, her hands were freed. She took out the packet of chili powder mixed with a special substance and swiftly raised it to the face of the Double-Faced Infant, bursting open the packet of chili powder.
