Chapter 39: The impact on reality
Is there something in my house?
Hoang Tuan furrowed his brow, feeling that something was not right.
He didn't think it was auditory hallucinations or that a pot in the house was making noises due to being placed incorrectly.
He hadn't been in the kitchen for a long time since Thanh Linh disappeared...
At this moment, the drowsiness subsided, and his eyes became a bit clearer.
Hoang Tuan hesitated and moved his body slightly on the bed, then stared at the bedroom door.
But after those two sounds echoed.
The whole room fell silent again, and the dark room seemed to be telling Hoang Tuan that what had just happened was just his overthinking.
For a long time.
Nothing happened.
Hoang Tuan looked at the wooden bedroom door, wondering if he was overly anxious.
He moved his body to one side.
Under the other knee was Nguyen Nam's blood-stained axe, which made him feel more at ease with this.
If anything happened, he wouldn't be defenseless.
However, during the investigation.
However, Hoang Tuan felt that the axe he had placed under his knee had disappeared!
Instead, what landed in his hand was a soft, rubbery lump...
Suspicious, he took the strange object from under his knee, and because of the lack of light, he bent his head down to get a closer look.
The thing in his hand.
It looked like a piece of boiled meat, partly raw and partly cooked.
"Why is this thing in my room?"
Hoang Tuan couldn't recall purchasing this.
And putting it under his knee.
Although the object in his hand was peculiar, after Hoang Tuan casually squeezed it, he felt no reaction from it.
It was like a toy to squeeze.
Since there was no issue with it, he put it aside and stopped worrying about it.
Hoang Tuan looked back at the bedroom door, and what he needed to focus on now was whether there was someone else in his house.
But in the very first moment when Hoang Tuan squinted.
His pupils suddenly dilated.
Because the bedroom door, which should have been locked, had been opened at some point, and when the door was opened, Hoang Tuan could even see the sofa in the living room from the bedroom!
When was the door opened? !
He clearly remembered that it was locked just now.
In addition, Hoang Tuan habitually locked the bedroom door when sleeping, regardless of whether there was anyone else in the house or not, and the door couldn't open automatically for no reason...
"Click!"
Suddenly.
There was a sound from the wooden bed plank behind him, and at the same time, the insects in Hoang Tuan's body began to swim vigorously under the skin as before.
Hoang Tuan was fully certain at this moment.
Something was approaching!
He immediately lifted the blanket and crawled to the end of the bed as quickly as possible!
The moment he got off the bed...
A kitchen knife stabbed straight into the spot where he had just been lying!
The sound of the knife tearing through the mattress was clearly audible.
Hoang Tuan turned back...
At this moment, he saw a black humanoid creature sitting on the wall, propped up on the head of the bed like it was on the ground, holding a kitchen knife in his kitchen, and slashing towards his pillow!
At this time, Hoang Tuan didn't have time to evaluate where that thing came from.
What he had to do now was to quickly climb onto his wheelchair and get out of here!
The wheelchair was placed at the end of the bed as usual, and the distance from him at this moment was just one meter...
He tried his best to crawl towards the wheelchair!
The object at the top of the bed still hadn't reacted.
He still had time...
The wheelchair was within easy reach!
But just as Hoang Tuan was about to touch the wheelchair.
A hand suddenly appeared and grabbed his wrist!
Making his movement unable to twitch even a little bit.
He looked up.
It was something both strange and familiar.
It was a woman hanging upside down on the roof like a spider, with a pale face and a terrifyingly large mouth...
"There's something on the train..."
"They went out?!"
Hoang Tuan seemed to understand something.
He remembered it now.
After getting off the story on the first train, when he went to dinner with Le Hoa Phat and returned home, he felt that something was staring at him in the room.
He fell into a deep sleep with the axe on that night...
Maybe.
Since then.
These things have been in his room.
Hoang Tuan only realized it now...
Whatever he thought about it now, it seemed a bit too late.
Because the woman spider might have been in his house for a week and may have been lurking due to an alliance with Nguyen Nam's axe, which is why he didn't see the axe under his knee today.
If not, he would have seen the axe earlier.
The black creature.
Hoang Tuan didn't know if it belonged to the story of the train or the school story.
But no matter how it was.
This incident still made Hoang Tuan feel terrified.
If he had more information.
Be more vigilant!
Then maybe he wouldn't be in such a passive situation today...
...
...
On the other hand.
Chau Chi Bao and Quynh Nhu were still standing in front of Hoang Tuan's window, looking into his room.
Nguyen Thoai, at this moment.
He was still sleeping on the sofa due to sleepiness.
The difference from before was...
At this moment, their expressions were very different.
Looking at Hoang Tuan's window, Chau Chi Bao became eager, as if he couldn't wait to enter and find Hoang Tuan.
He couldn't help salivating, and his breath became rapid.
"I didn't expect the insects that old man raised to be on its body."
"If we dig those bugs out of its body and use them, then we won't have to stay in this wretched body forever!"
"I can't wait... really want to have them."
Hearing Chau Chi Bao's words.
Quynh Nhu had an indifferent expression.
She pretended to be ignorant of Chau Chi Bao's appearance, then turned her head to look at Nguyen Thoai, who was still sleeping behind the two of them.
Her words were gentle but cold.
"Be patient, we have to continue with this identity."
"Don't forget there's still an important task to do..."
