Ch. 5Chapter 5: A Dead Body!


I fell asleep very quickly because I was still sleepy. Just a moment later, a cold sensation suddenly passed on, something curled like a snake in my collar, scared me, let me breathe. It's completely clear. I watched with my eyes wide open, almost scared to death. His face with fresh blood in the eyes of a man who was squatting on my bed. He kept staring at me and laughing, and his mouth was about to drool. The point is that his face is very close to mine, the maximum distance. As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw two white eyes without his pupils. He kept staring at me.

I reacted violently, screaming my ears out and standing up. But when I found out I couldn't make any sound, I couldn't move my body. And that dirty man, he spreads a smell that makes me uncomfortable. After all, it's like animal carcasses or rotting flesh. I almost threw up on the bed.

Fortunately, when I woke up, he didn't keep touching me, but he looked at me smiling. Looking at his mouth, I can see why his teeth are so white from the window. God-damn it, that's not a tooth. They're all living maggots! Sometimes, there are a few. Maggots came out of his mouth, and one almost fell on me. I quietly vomited a few times and looked at my mother with my eyes wide open. My mother was still sleeping like she didn't smell a weird smell. At a moment when I didn't know what to do, the man waved at me, signaling me to follow him. I don't want to go inside, but I feel like I'm being controlled by someone, and I just sit up. Put your shoes on automatically and follow that man out.

The wind was so strong that I was shivering, and there was no star in the sky, so I couldn't see anything well, and I followed him step by step. When I passed Yen Giang's house, I remember Yen Giang's father telling me to look at him. I saw Yen Giang coming back from behind the mountain at four o'clock in the morning. That's it. There are three similarities, and Vuong Yen Giang and Linh Linh must have gone back to the mountain late at night, then returned at dawn. Maybe they hit something in the back of the mountain, and the next day, they suddenly died in the house?

I thought I'd know the answer very quickly, who expected...

The whole village was covered with a quiet night, I could only hear footsteps clapping in front of me, my body was not under my control, and the two eyes could move on their own, glancing at the direction of the sound. It was a man, who was about forty to five years old, with sparse gray hair, slightly cuffed back, long worn flat shoes, limping me up the mountain. He was covered in a ragged shroud, spreading an unpleasant odor. Sometimes he suddenly looked back at me laughing, and more than that, he lost a big piece of flesh on his face, and I felt nauseous.

Halfway up, birds suddenly fly away as some terrible creature has just appeared. The other body stopped, dragged me to his side, and looked around. After a while, seeing nothing special, he continued to lead me up the mountain. On the way, the crows kept buzzing around my head, making me very uncomfortable. People often say crows are symbols of bad things. I'm being carried away by this body tonight, and those crows don't stop teasing me, do they want me to suffocate to death? Wait for me to come back alive, I'll make sure they get rid of their fur, see if they dare. Ay around my head again. It hasn't been long since I heard a voice ringing in my ear: "Don't talk, don't move."

"What?"- I wondered. I didn't even get a response, and I got a slap on my shoulder. I instinctively turned my head and looked back at the shoulders of others, and there was no one behind me, and I didn't know who was patting me on the shoulder.

"Didn't you turn your head around in the middle of the night when it's the devil patting your shoulder?" - Was heard in my ear again.

Hearing him say that, I couldn't hold it in and laughed. If he's a real demon trying to hurt me, why are you so kind as to remind me? Hearing his voice was a little over twenty years old, and yet he called me a little girl, which made me feel very old. I looked back, and this time I was frightened by the sight before me, crying. Because as soon as I turned my head, I saw someone in front of my eyes. The point is that she looks just like me and follows the man close behind her. Looking at the person in front of me, I pinched my body with force, and it hurt so much. This is how I breathed a sigh of relief. God-damn it, I thought my soul was gone. My body is here, so who's the one following that guy?

Thinking about this, the frontman suddenly turned around to see if I was still there. I stood still, couldn't breathe hard, my heart was pounding like a drum. He and I are only ten meters apart, there's nowhere to hide, if he finds out I'm here, isn't it a goat in the tiger's mouth? But strangely enough, his gaze didn't step on me, but turned very quickly, as if he hadn't seen me. Then he kept smiling at the same person as me and took her back to the mountain.

The inside hanging upside down is finally released little by little. Waiting for them to go away, I'll react. Didn't I control my behavior before? I tried to move my limbs, and I found myself back to normal.
