A Guest in a Ghost House Chapter 48 Dear sweetheart

The street lights were on and the electricity was coming back.

I hurried home. The first thing I did was turn on my computer.

I entered the forum quickly and clicked to open that gray post I had been looking at the day before. That sentence in reply was still in: "The legend of the bloody words in the bathroom." .

I clicked the link with a trembling hand,and scrolled down. The last picture appeared in front of me with a wall with dark red blood letters on it.

Dear lover, I do not blame you, because I know your loyalty was to me. You only occasionally made a mistake;

Dear lover, I do not hate you, because I know you love me. Everything you did was just so I could be free;

Dear lover, I do not blame you, because I know the moment your knife pierced my chest , you were in more pain than I was;

Dear lover, please take good care of our child. I told him that I abandoned him, but I was not really willing to do it;

Dear lover, take care of our child. Tell him that you will always be good to him, love him and cherish him;

Dear lover, take care of our child. Tell him that his mother will always protect him, so will his father;

Dear lover, goodbye.

The words were all crooked I could almost see the pain Su Qing was suffering from while she was writing this all down. It was so sad that Su Qing was so silly and naive that even before she died, she still loved a person who she should not love or who didn't deserve her love.

My heart felt very uncomfortable, as if it was being blocked by something. My eyes welled up and a tear rolled down my cheek.

I took a deep breath and didn't want to read the text because I had seen more between the lines and something we had been ignoring.

Su Qing had not commit suicide, and Su Qing's child should have turned into a ghost after his death and was likely controlled by Zhang Sheng.

I took a screenshot and sent it to Wu Jian. I unplugged the computer's power supply. The pain in my heart made me not want to think about this matter, to just give it all to Wu Jian to deal with.

I was lying on the bed. The issue with Su Qing was cleared up, but for some unknown reason, I was feeling depressed. I had a slight sense of regret exposing all of this. It felt like I was opening up odl, painful wounds.

Suddenly, a faint cry came from the corner of the room, like that of a weak baby sobbing. The sound was intermittent and vague. I sat up and looked at the place where the sound was coming from with my back against the wall.

In the shadows, I could see a baby, as small as a puppet, lying on the ground crying. His little hands feebly waving in the air. By the child's side was a few large mice surrounding the baby, revealing their sharp teeth. There was cruelty in their tiny eyes.

My eyes seemed to give orders to the mice, which rushed together to the tiny baby. My heart clenched, and suddenly the light in the room flashed, when the light was back on, the baby was now sitting on the ground.

There was till a strange look on his bloody face.

A mouse was being pinched by the baby's hand. It seemed like a weak hand, but the mouse could not move at all. The baby slowly put the mouse into its mouth, and with a "crunch", the mouse's head was bitten down, and blood flowed quickly down the baby's chin down to its belly which still had the umbilical cord attached.

I felt like I was frozen. I felt chills, and my back was wet with sweat.

The baby's mouth did not stop. "Chew, Katz" said a mysterious voice. The fat mouse slowly disappeared into the baby's mouth. The baby didn't look up at me until the whole mouse had been eaten.

Giggling, the baby stretched out its thin arms toward me and seemed to want me to hug him. I did not know why, but at that moment I completely forgot the terrifying scene of the baby and could only focus on how helpless it looked. I could not help but slowly walke out of bed, reach down and held out my hands towards the baby.

"I can't find it. Why can't I find it?" a whisper could be heard from outside the door, I shivered. When I was less than a meter away from the baby, the baby had lost its helpless appearance and its face, which had been bitten by the mice, turned into a rusted iron green, with no lips, mouth full of fangs like nails. He was smiling at me strangely.

"Ahhh!" I yelled, retreating quickly, while sitting on the floor. Sweat blurred my eyes, but I did not dare wipe it off since the baby was slowly crawling towards me.

My body was stiff and I could not move a finger. I could only watch the baby climbing towards me step by step, falling from time to time.

Just when I felt there was nothing I could do, I could hear that whisper again, "I can't find it. Why can't I find it?" A thin figure slowly emerged, standing by the door, greasy hair covering half its face, it was the child he met that knocked over the garbage when he was on his way back home.

The baby stopped crawling towards me, raised its head, opened its toothed mouth, and looked at the child as if it were threatening.

The child turned a blind eye to the baby and stood there with his head down, saying, "I can't find it. Why can't I find it?"

The violent knocking on the door suddenly snapped me out of it, I felt as if my heart was about to jump out of my chest. From outside the door I could hear Wu Jian's voice: "Open the door, something has happened."

The lights in the room flashed and the child and the baby disappeared. Only Wu Jian's knock on the door was still clear as day.

I stood up and moved slowly step by step to open the door.

"Something has happened. He... What's wrong with you?" Wu Jian stepped in with one foot, ready to speak before he took a good look at me.

I shook my head feebly, and sat on the bed under Wu Jian's arm. Wu Jian gave me a cup of sugar water, but he did not ask me to explain anything to him just yet. He could see I wasn't in the best condition to talk.

After drinking up the sugar water in one breath, I finally recoverd to some degree. I could almost guess what Wu Jian wanted to say. Since I had seen the mouse, then Huang Lei must be... .

Sure enough, Huang Lei was dead. Just last night, like the mouse, Huang Lei was tied to the post outside the prison, with a big hole in his stomach and viscera running out of his stomach to the ground.

According to the report, a member of staff in the detention center was upset with Huang Lei's special treatment and killed him. I did not know how credible this conclusion was, but there was no need to struggle for better answers, the point was he had died.

It had become clear that we had made a mistake, thinking that it was Su Qing causing these troubles, and completely ignoring the child who was abandoned by Su Qing and the devil behind the child who was more terrible than than we could ever picture her being.

No matter the cause, one thing was certain. I would be the next one to die.
