Chapter 373

"Ha..."

Two long needles were buried to the root into Du Huiyi's palm, piercing out from the back of her hand, bringing out a stream of fresh blood.

Du Huiyi tilted her head back, letting out a comfortable moan.

When a person is itchy to the extreme, it is harder to bear than simple pain, and when that itch stops, a large amount of pleasure is produced.

In order not to be itchy anymore, Du Huiyi would do anything.

She pulled the needles out with a grimace and threw them on the floor. The wound in her palm was burning with pain, as if something was expanding inside. The process of expansion made Du Huiyi hum softly in comfort.

After the expansion ended.

Du Huiyi opened her palms and immediately took a step back, her scalp exploding in fear.

She saw that in the palms of both her hands, an eye had grown! These eyes were complete in shape, with whites, pupils, eyelids, and eyelashes, blinking at Du Huiyi. Du Huiyi collapsed and cried again, waving her hands wildly in a panic.

After waving for a while, Du Huiyi's movements slowed down.

She found that the two eyes on her hands were more useful than her original eyes, allowing her to see more things.

For example, her husband.

A pale-faced man was standing beside her, looking at her with hatred in his eyes.

"Husband, you finally came back. You don't know, I have been..."

Du Huiyi pounced on him, but pounced on nothing. Her husband vanished directly after that pounce, and the broken fragments were sucked into the eyes in her palms.

"Husband, husband, where are you? I'm scared, I..."

Du Huiyi looked at the corner of the wall.

"Oh, so you're here."

A man was tied to the corner of the wall. The man's body was highly decomposed, and flies and cockroach maggots were gnawing on his corpse, especially his eyes, which were completely hollow, with black blood flowing from the eye sockets.

Du Huiyi walked to the corpse numbly. After discovering this corpse, her memory began to gradually recover.

She finally remembered that her husband had never been on a business trip.

A month ago, she and her husband were simultaneously harassed by noise and driven mad by the omnipresent gazes.

Her husband kept urging her, saying that this house was not right and wanted to move away with her.

But how could that be? If they moved away, she wouldn't be able to look at others.

And who knew if the fact that she was being peeped at all the time was her husband's trick to move? So she tied her husband in the corner and poked his eyes out with needles, but even though her husband was already blind, the feeling of being peeped at that existed all the time was still there.

So Du Huiyi hugged her head and cried all night.

When she woke up the next morning, she found that her husband had gone on a business trip, leaving her alone in the house.

"Husband... I'm sorry."

Du Huiyi was only sad for a little while, and then a flash of inspiration suddenly came to her.

"Before, I only had one pair of eyes, so I could only peep in one pit. Now that I have an eye on both my left and right hands, aren't there more places I can see?"

Once she thought of this, Du Huiyi's heart began to itch, and she found that her husband's corpse wasn't such an important matter anymore.

She picked up the chisel, walked to the wall, and started chiseling on the wall that was riddled with holes again.

"I want to see, I want to know what others are doing behind the wall. No, that's not enough. I want to know more, to see new places."

Clang, clang, clang...

Clang, clang, clang! Wu Xian sat up from the bed suddenly.

When he returned home in the afternoon, it was already dark, and Heigu had a table of dishes waiting for him.

Wu Xian had been busy all day today and didn't have time to buy groceries, so the ingredients were naturally left to the errand boy to buy.

After dinner.

Wu Xian went to sleep early. He should have woken up at one o'clock in the morning on time, but was woken up early by the sound of knocking on the wall.

"So noisy!"

"That's not right, my house is not in that building, I'm in my own house, I shouldn't hear that sound at night!"

Wu Xian ran out in a hurry, opened the refrigerator, took out a tube of black dog blood he had stored earlier, poured a little out, and applied it to his temples, but the sound was still there and becoming more and more frequent.

"Woof, woof, woof!"

Heigu, wearing pajamas, ran out of her room, her fur all standing on end, barking angrily at the empty space.

If she could speak human language, she would definitely be like a shrew right now, accusing the immoral noise-disturbing behavior with dirty words.

Wu Xian narrowed his eyes.

At first, he thought it was because he had been contaminated by the malevolent entity's power, so he could hear the knocking sound at night, but judging from Heigu's reaction, both of them could hear this sound.

Wu Xian tested it again with his phone's recording function and confirmed that the sound truly existed and was not a strange sound that only living things could hear.

The knocking sound continued, making people feel terrified inside.

Wu Xian gritted his teeth.

"You're dead!"

"I said it, no one can save you!"

Wu Xian immediately called, woke up Han Xiaoying, and asked her to book a room for him at a nearby hotel.

Then Wu Xian quickly packed up all the gold, silver, and valuables in the house, took the bewildered Heigu, fled and ran away overnight, and left his home in humiliation.

Han Xiaoying was called up in the middle of the night. Seeing Wu Xian and the dog, she wanted to complain about this tossing and turning immoral behavior, but found that this person and pet both had bad expressions, so she swallowed the complaint that was on the tip of her tongue.

After arriving at the hotel.

The world finally became quiet.

Heigu pulled her small quilt out of the package, put it on the floor, and then started to make up for her sleep.

Wu Xian closed his eyes and pondered.

He didn't expect that this small noise incident would develop to this point, that he needed to flee from his home and stay in a hotel.

He and Heigu had just left home and got in the car when the knocking sound disappeared, which showed that the sound was only in his house and not on him.

If there was still no noise in the hotel room tomorrow night, this point could be completely confirmed.

"The investigation during the day has already proven that peeping holes can cross spatial intervals and directly peep at the scenes in rooms on other floors."

"Then it's not strange that the sound can bypass spatial restrictions and reach my house."

"But this anomaly has been going on for a long time. Why did it suddenly spread? Is it because I was targeted, or is it a natural expansion of the anomaly?"

"In addition, I didn't feel the feeling of being peeped at in the house tonight, which shows that chiseling peeping holes requires a certain amount of time. Now it's just spreading to my house and can't directly peep at my house. This is a piece of good news."

Wu Xian opened his eyes, stopped thinking, and looked at Han Xiaoying.

"I want to ask you for a favor."

Han Xiaoying nodded quickly: "Please say it."

Although she often complained and was greedy for food and sleep, she never slacked off in her job. Wu Xian's vast majority of requests, she had helped Wu Xian solve.

"Can you help me get some prohibited items? I'm doing this for the Chenghuangsuo."

"What prohibited items?"

Wu Xian revealed a cold smile: "Flashbangs, the intensity should be as high as possible, the kind that you can't recover from for a few days after being flashed."

"I am a person who holds a grudge!"
