Nightmare Assault Chapter 352: Wait

“Why?” Jiang Cheng stopped working on the computer. He cleared his throat and looked at Fatty, “Mr Lu Xun once said that a normal man…”

“Doctor, please shut up.” Fatty’s brain buzzed, and he pouted, “I’m scared that you’ll run into the real Lu Xun in the next nightmare mission, and he’ll smash your head in.”

…

After glaring at Jiang Cheng, Chen Yi gently told Chu Jiu, “Do continue. Please be as detailed as you can.”

“Don’t be scared.” Banana Wolf encouraged, “We’re all here. You’re safe.” It had to be said that Banana Wolf’s face was very useful. He was the sunny and handsome kind. Chu Jiu looked at him and nodded.

Jiang Cheng was instantly annoyed. It was quite obvious. Fatty poked him, trying to make him control himself. Fatty kept hearing the Doctor grumbling about someone with a name like Banana Wolf would never be a good person. He said he must have tricked a lot of innocent girls. He might even be gay.

“I… didn’t wake up from the sleep. I didn’t sleep yesterday night.” Chu Jiu whispered, “In that room, I felt very uncomfortable. I tossed and turned but couldn’t fall asleep.” After a pause, Chu Jiu’s lips faded with colours. “I think it was late midnight. When I was starting to feel woozy, the lights in the bedroom flickered. Then, they switched off. I woke up instantly. I hid in bed.” She swallowed. “I curled up in the blanket and didn’t dare to move.

“I could feel there was… something else in the room. It was very close to me, but I couldn’t see it.”

Chen Yi reached out to pat Chu Jiu’s back. She only let go when blood returned to Chu Jiu’s face.

“I was so scared, I wrapped myself in the blanket. Eventually, I heard a unique sound. It was very soft at first, but it became clearer. It was a small sound of friction.” Chu Jiu tried to remember, “It was very soft and light. It was from under my bed!

“It sounded like fabric brushing against the floor. It dawned on me instantly. There was someone under my bed, and that person… was crawling out!”

Yu Lan, who was close to Chu Jiu, didn’t look so good. Her face was as pale as paper. It was hard to imagine so many absurd things happening in one night.

“And then?” Someone asked.

Chu Jiu trembled. Even so, she tried to force herself to continue, “I could feel the bed moving. LIke something was placing its weight on it.”

Fatty sucked in a cold breath. The ghost… climbed onto her bed.

“He was right beside me. I could feel it.” Chu Jiu stammered, “He lay down in my previous spot. I heard… something land on the pillow. He lay there motionlessly. I knew he hadn’t left. He was waiting for me.

“After a long time, I didn’t know how long, I sensed the sun coming up. I believe he should have left. They… are afraid of the sun, right?

“Therefore, I chose a direction opposite from him and turned to the window. I slowly opened a gap in the blanket. I looked out the gap and realised everything was still dark.

“That was impossible!” She said firmly, “I felt the light returning to the room. It was why I dared to sneak a peep.

“Suddenly…” Chu Jiu yelped, “The darkness moved. It was a strange movement. It felt like a ball of snakes moving around. That person hadn’t left!” Chu Jiu’s voice became louder uncontrollably, “He knelt before my bed to wait for me. He waited for me… to pull back my blanket!

“It was a female head with dishevelled hair! The strange hairs crawled towards the gap like snakes. Some of them bound around my wrists, and others wanted to enter my mouth!

“I couldn’t stand it anymore. I yanked the blanket back and ran out. I opened the door and ran into the corridor. Thankfully, the thing stopped following me.” At this point, she was still recovering from the shock. She didn’t realise the pronoun she used had changed.

“Then… It was Sister Chen Yi who found me,” She said appreciatively.

Chen Yi nodded. “I heard a commotion outside the door. I opened the door and saw Chu Jiu standing there.” After a pause, she added, “By then, the sun was already up.”

“You said the thing stopped following you… What do you mean?” Jiang Cheng asked, “Were you sure she had been following you before that?”

“Yes!” Chu Jiu replied quickly. “When I was escaping, I felt tickling on the back of my neck. It felt like someone was brushing the ends of her hair on my skin. She had been following me. I didn’t know why, but she stopped chasing me when I ran out the door.

“When I turned back to look, I saw a lot of hair pooling on the floor near the door. There was… a human head inside the door!”

“Miss Chen.” Jiang Cheng turned to Chen Yi, “Did you see the hair she mentioned?”

Chen Yi shook her head. “No. I only saw that her door was open.”

Chu Jiu misunderstood Jiang Cheng’s intention. She quickly added, “I’m telling the truth. You have to believe me. It was so scary. That thing… she waited for me throughout the night! Right.” Chu Jiu remembered something. She took out a small ball of paper from her pocket. She opened it and placed it on the table. “Look!”

Everyone surrounded it. The paper ball held a lock of hair. The hair was long. They should belong to a woman. They were wet, sticky and had a horrible smell.

“What is this?” Wei Jingting leaned closer to take a look. He didn’t dare to touch it. On the piece of paper, there was a piece of something unknown. It was thin and brown. A few hairs were stuck to it.

“It’s the scalp,” Someone uttered softly.

Wei Jingting shuddered. He covered his mouth, and his throat moved.

It was Wu who spoke. His face was still expressionless. The atmosphere froze. Everyone was thinking.

They were attacked by three ghosts in one night. However, the scariest thing was that none of them died.

Not only that, the travellers managed to fight back.

If that didn’t prove that this place was haunted, what would?
