Chapter 194: Liu Meiyun Goes Mad, Chen Xi's Ghost Lingers On

What utter nonsense!

Song Mo naturally couldn't just stand by and watch them fight in his own home, so he immediately stopped Xia Yu and Xia Rou, then "invited" An Yinuo and Lin Weiwei out.

His thoughts were a bit jumbled at this moment.

After seeing that Song Mo's expression was clearly rather grim, An Yinuo and Lin Weiwei finally felt afraid and eventually softened, then left.

After they left.

Song Mo gently comforted Xia Yu and Xia Rou.

……

At the Magic City Women's Prison.

He wanted to see Liu Meiyun fear him.

……

Waving both hands, as if holding some sharp weapon in them, slashing at the air.

But from Liu Meiyun's perspective.

Her mind had long since been on the verge of collapse.

Liu Meiyun had gone mad!

When Liu Meiyun now saw Chen Xi, her face no longer held terror and fear, but carried a kind of hysterical madness.

But later on.

"After this old lady dies, I'll become a Fierce Ghost too. When the time comes, let's see who's fiercer, let's see who's fiercer. Heh, hehe…"

But her mind was already on the verge of breaking down.

He vaguely felt that he seemed to have become an extremely special kind of existence, one very much like the legendary ghost.

He was gripping Liu Meiyun's neck with all his might.

This was one of those moments that could scare a person to death on the spot.

Because of the spiritual essence upon it.

"Darling, this time I won't chop you up and scatter your remains."

So he let it go at that.

Every day, just deliver food and drink—otherwise let Liu Meiyun starve to death, that would be enough.

Only when police arrived, intimidated by the baleful aura and official aura on him, at such times Chen Xi couldn't come out and cause trouble.

Seeing such a bizarre scene.

Yet the prison guards watching this scene through the monitors had complicated expressions, because the woman kept talking to the wall the whole time; nothing was in her hands, yet she really seemed to be holding something and slashing with it.

Chen Xi was growing stronger and stronger.

A single cell in the women's prison.

When Liu Meiyun ate, sometimes looking at the food in the lunchbox, it would instantly transform into the face of Chen Xi, dripping with blood.

Suddenly.

"You don't want the hat, but I still do!"

Her eyes snapped open abruptly.

Liu Meiyun began to chuckle.

They had been tormented quite badly.

Liu Meiyun felt it hard to breathe.

But now, Chen Xi could already transform at will.

One night.

Even.

Every time he saw Liu Meiyun's terrified look, Chen Xi felt a sense of vengeful thrill inside; as long as he could scare Liu Meiyun to death on the spot, Chen Xi could evolve from a Resentful Ghost into a Fierce Ghost.

Yet the face of Chen Xi on the wall wore an eerie smile, staring at her the whole time.

He felt as if he existed by clinging to Liu Meiyun.

But soon she would drop to her knees again begging, saying she hadn't meant to, asking if he could spare her.

Because Liu Meiyun was the prime culprit who had killed him.

But Chen Xi discovered that Liu Meiyun seemed to have gone mad.

She even threatened that after death she'd become a ghost, to see who was fiercer than whom.

Liu Meiyun was still only jittery and paranoid, not entirely sure herself whether ghosts truly existed.

The saying "every debt has its debtor"—at this stage, Chen Xi could only be active around Liu Meiyun.

Chen Xi existed by relying on resentful energy.

A killing intent arose in Chen Xi's heart; since it was so, there was no need to leave Liu Meiyun alive.

Relying on the fear Liu Meiyun generated.

"This life was already going to be gone—now even if I give it to you, what of it?"

"A government place, putting on such a show—is this spreading feudal superstition!"

It was Chen Xi!

At this moment, Chen Xi's face was pale with no trace of color, his eyes holding not the slightest light or spirit, like a wax figure.

And when using the toilet, partway through, Liu Meiyun would look down.

This was clearly unrealistic now.

She really hadn't meant to chop him into pieces…

But.

"Isn't it just a ghost? Chen Xi, I was a death-row inmate to begin with. If you came to me for revenge, you really picked the wrong person, hehe…"

And.

Would burst into shouting for no reason at all.

By now she had completely broken down.

She didn't know if it was because she'd taken too much of that addictive stuff, but lately she kept having episodes.

Chen Xi was gradually growing stronger.

Which was why Chen Xi could still keep his consciousness after death.

Anyway.

……

But they had already been worn to the bone by it all; even the psychologists were exhausted dealing with her, so they had no choice but to let Liu Meiyun run wild inside the prison.

Recently.

Liu Meiyun had gone completely mad.

At first she had tried begging Chen Xi to let her go, but Chen Xi lingered like a stubborn ghost, appearing in every corner within and just outside Liu Meiyun's line of sight.

Looking at the surveillance footage.

Liu Meiyun was staring coldly at a wall.

Liu Meiyun was talking to herself at the wall.

Liu Meiyun would get emotionally agitated.

When Liu Meiyun gradually began to slip free of Chen Xi's influence, Chen Xi felt it had lost all its flavor, and deep inside he was bitterly disappointed.

The moment she closed her eyes to sleep, Chen Xi's face would appear in Liu Meiyun's mind.

"I'm going to boil you into meat paste, hehe…"

She summoned every ounce of strength she had left to hurl at the empty air, a perverted, frenzied smile slowly spreading across her face. "Haha, so you can be scared too, can't you? If I could kill you once, I can kill you twice. Even if I'm dead, even as a ghost, I won't let you off!"

Chen Xi was dead.

Among the female inmates, there was one very important figure, called Liu Meiyun.

She said a ghost had been harassing her nonstop.

But not quite dead through and through.

Even the police, who had seen plenty.

In the guards' eyes this was of course nonsense, but the woman was in agony and no one chose to believe her.

Some officers even suggested going to a temple to find a Master to perform a ritual, but their superiors sharply rebuked them for it.

Every day he found new ways to scare Liu Meiyun.

In the toilet bowl,

Chen Xi's face wore an eerie smile, his gaze fixed unblinkingly on her.

Usually after the psychologist counseled her, her emotions would settle down.

Under the crushing psychological pressure, this woman had already lost all fear inside, and like one possessed, no longer feared even herself.

At the very beginning, he couldn't even conjure up a human face.

She would run up to the wall and press her eyes right against Chen Xi's.

All of this seemed to come from a shard lodged within her own soul.

She would snarl at the empty air, screaming and yelling, telling someone called Chen Xi to stay away from her.

At first.

She discovered a person sitting on her.

Things here had been on edge lately, especially among some of the civil servants — heavy dark circles ringed their eyes, and their faces wore an exhaustion that wouldn't fade.

It was impossible not to feel a creeping chill down the spine.

It was just that Liu Meiyun had after all once been a local big shot, with enough mental resilience inside to hold out until now.

Only when Liu Meiyun was alone did his world truly begin.

On his face,

Was that signature, eerie smile.
