Chapter 180 - 181: Beginning to Wriggle
The girl quickly lifted her shirt, then just as quickly let it fall back down.
Though it was just a fleeting glance, it was enough to make the netizens and the auntie freak out.
After a while, even seeing ordinary ghosts and spirits can get a little tiresome. You start to feel like there’s nothing new to it, that it’s all the same.
But this was something else entirely. They were densely packed all over her back.
It was enough to give anyone goosebumps, an instant, creeping horror.
[What the hell is that!!!]
[I think my eyes have been violated. This is so disgusting, all the hair on my body is standing on end.]
[Fuck, my back instantly feels so itchy and awful!]
"Oh... oh my god!"
The auntie was trembling. She had only glanced over out of curiosity, never expecting to see something so densely packed. Now, her face was drained of all color.
"No wonder... no wonder you always said your bed felt lumpy. Your back is covered in those things! No matter what you sleep on, it’s going to feel lumpy!"
The girl looked dazed. She knew something was wrong, but her mind had never gone in this direction.
Hearing this, her hand trembling, she carefully reached back to touch her own skin. She felt a rough, bumpy texture, as if something was growing all over her back.
The hairs on her arms stood up one by one. Just that single touch was enough to send her to the brink of collapse.
But she forced herself to endure it, turning her back to a mirror to see for herself.
Bizarre black spheres covered her entire back. They were densely packed, rough and bumpy, and even had a faint, glossy sheen, a truly horrifying sight.
"My back... my back! What is on my back!"
She was so panicked she could barely stammer out the words. Before anyone could answer, she bolted for the bathroom.
"AHHH!!!"
A shrill scream echoed through the room.
The auntie panicked as well. By the time she rushed over, the bathroom door was already locked.
The girl’s soft, broken sobs could be heard from inside, a clear sign of her utter breakdown.
"Host, what do we do now?!"
The auntie’s face was a mask of panic. Recalling the sight from moments ago, she shivered, suddenly finding the young lady she cared for strange and terrifying.
She herself was on the verge of a breakdown. If it weren’t for a shred of professional duty, she would have turned and fled already.
’What kind of normal person grows things like that?’
’Could she be... could she be possessed by a ghost?’
"Host, I’m leaving! This is too scary!"
The auntie muttered to herself, already planning to grab her things and make a run for it.
[That auntie is so irresponsible! What’s the girl going to do?!]
[If you’re so responsible, why don’t you go? If it were me, I’d have been long gone. I wouldn’t have even waited for the stream to get to this point.]
[I still can’t get that image out of my head. It was so scary, I think I’m genuinely traumatized now.]
The girl, still crying, couldn’t stop herself from touching her back again, feeling as though the things there were alive.
They would occasionally squirm faintly, and she felt she was about to pass out.
Watching the auntie’s panic-stricken state, Su Nian tapped her fingers lightly on the table.
"Don’t panic. Tell her to come out. Tell her I have a way to help, but my time is limited. If she’s not out in three minutes, I won’t bother helping."
Su Nian said.
Hearing Su Nian’s words, the auntie instantly felt as if she’d found her backbone. She rushed to the bathroom door and repeated what Su Nian had said.
[This host is pretty arrogant, setting a three-minute time limit. Saving a life is a greater deed than building a seven-story pagoda, you know.]
[Stop trying to stir up trouble. The host has a life too, you know. It’s late, she probably wants to sleep.]
[I actually think the host is being pretty decent. If it were me, I couldn’t be bothered. It’s not just that it’s terrifying; it’s just genuinely sickening to look at.]
The girl inside heard the auntie’s voice. She hesitated for a moment, but her hand still moved to the doorknob.
’That was the host who warned me earlier,’ she thought. ’Maybe she really does have a way to help.’
But what she didn’t know was that on her back, those black spheres were beginning to squirm...
