Chapter 59: A Frightening Night and the Mystery of the Village (2)

At that moment, I couldn’t describe the feeling of my hair standing on end, but even though we were facing each other through the window, I still couldn’t see its true face clearly. I only remember a pair of deep black eyes with no whites, staring at me. At that moment, I had already fallen into a strange state of confusion.

Ghosts are so fierce that even when they take on human form, they still have no whites in their eyes. This is the last thought in my mind, and then I was already in that strange state of confusion.

The night outside the window was no longer filled with mist, but had become clear and bright. The mountains in the distance and the nearby scenery, the stars twinkling, and the chirping of insects, was the night not just right?

A strange smile appeared on my face as I looked out the window. Where was the fierce ghost Rakshasa? It was a woman with braided hair, smiling at me. She was very beautiful, with a picture-perfect face. The way she lowered her head was like a flower bud about to bloom, shy and reserved, with a slight tremor that made one’s heart flutter.

In my eyes, there was no specific image of her at all. I just felt that she was very beautiful and not at all scary. Looking at her, I just felt a gentle emotion in my heart.

Originally, in the depths of my soul, Shatu had already begun to roar the moment I saw her, but at this moment, Shatu, who was connected to my soul, actually let out a few purring sounds of affection, and then wrapped in a gentle mood, fell asleep again.

“Chen Nuo, aren’t you coming out?” The voice outside the window was soft, with a hint of anger and resentment, mixed with a feeling of joy, which made people’s hearts ache and their hearts flutter.

I didn’t hesitate, I just walked out. There was a slight struggle in my heart, but it was almost negligible in the face of the powerful emotions surging in my heart.

“Brother, where are you going?” I heard Hui Gen’er’s voice behind me. In that moment, I suddenly became sober and remembered that I was Chen Chengyi and I was… But this kind of sobriety only lasted for less than a second, and the voice of “Chen Nuo, come over” came from outside the window again.

I was confused again, and without turning around, I said to Huigen, “You go to sleep, I’ll be right back.” As I spoke, I had already walked out of the room.

The sound of the door opening was the sound of me opening the door. In the courtyard, that beautiful figure was waiting for me. I walked towards her, but she turned and smiled at me, walked out of the courtyard, and walked down the path outside the courtyard.

I quickly followed her. The night had become vivid in my eyes. Everything was just like I saw it in the daytime. The grass was green, the wild flowers were blooming, and the various crops in the fields were swaying gently, wrapped in the magnificent night sky of royal blue. The figure in front of me was even more beautiful than all of this, and I seemed to have fallen into a trance.

Finally, at the other exit of the village, facing the Lake of a Thousand Ghosts, the figure stopped and leaned against a tree waiting for me.

I walked a few steps and came to her. I didn’t say anything, just silently looked at her. At this moment, I had already forgotten that I was Chen Chengyi, and only remembered that I was Chen Nuo. It seemed that I had a very important past with her, but I didn’t remember it very well.

But what’s the big deal? What’s important is the figure in front of me, right? I couldn’t help but follow her. Was it love? I suddenly felt a strange resistance. It wasn’t the kind of heartbeat and concern that comes with falling in love. It was just… just what? A hint of pain appeared on my face. In my heart, there was only a figure that made my heart flutter, but that figure was that evening, leaning against the window, the setting sun shining on her beautiful back, her long hair like a waterfall, she…

I was even more distressed. It was as if my heart was reliving a familiar pain. It was the pain of loss. I was struggling, and suddenly I wanted to leave.

But then a beautiful female voice came from under the tree: “Chen Nuo, what a wonderful name. I like your name very much. Do you know why?”

“I’m not…” I subconsciously wanted to say, “I’m not Chen Nuo, but for some reason, I felt confused again, and after saying three words, I became: “Why?”

“Because, Chen Nuo is a promise. You are a man born for a promise, so the most important thing in your life must be a promise. A man who is committed to a promise will not have any other thoughts, and will not betray, right?” The figure under the tree spoke softly to me. When she said this, she looked up at the starry sky, her eyes misty, as if in the night sky, there was her most gentle and beautiful dream.

This is the beauty of a woman in love, a heart-stirring scene, but although my heart is soft and gentle, I can’t respond to that feeling.

My face once again showed a look of pain and confusion, but the figure was slowly walking towards me, and then gently nestled in my arms. Her tone was as gentle as a soft mist, and she said, “It’s forever, right?”

As she spoke, her hands wrapped around my waist. This feeling was very familiar, as if it had happened many times in my dreams. I was always embraced like this, but I could hardly respond. Why did this happen in my dreams?

Cold sweat appeared on my forehead. The feeling in my arms was not warm and soft, but cold. Along with my heartbeat, it suddenly inexplicably rose to a feeling of tension.

“Chen Nuo, why aren’t you talking? Is it really forever?” The woman in my arms hugged me a little tighter, which caused the wound on my back to hurt. I couldn’t help but frown slightly. I couldn’t resist the gentle charm in my heart, and I couldn’t bear to blame her, but the doubts in my heart could not be suppressed.

“What is a lifetime?” Yes, I don’t understand what this woman is talking about.

“Don’t you know?” The woman in my arms seemed very dissatisfied, holding me so tightly that my wounds on my stomach and back were in pain. I already had a surge of anger in my heart, but in the end I couldn’t resist the inexplicable tenderness, and I could only endure it with cold sweat, asking, “Then tell me.”

“It’s to love me for the rest of my life.” Her hand relaxed a little, and I was finally relieved of the pain.

I resisted from the bottom of my heart that I loved her and would love her for the rest of my life. Even the inexplicable emotion in my heart could not dispel this resistance, so I could only remain silent.

“Do you love me?” The person in my arms didn’t seem to want to let me go, and suddenly asked me this.

“I…” My eyes were filled with confusion, as if I were in a blind spot of memory, unable to remember anything. But in the midst of the haze, the figure with long hair like a waterfall became clearer and clearer.

“Say it,” the person in my arms demanded.

Who is that figure? Who is it? I felt as if I had forgotten someone very important. I was desperately trying to recall, and I muttered to myself, “I… I… I love…”

“I love Yuxue!” At that moment, I didn’t think of who the figure in my heart was, but the name came out of my mouth subconsciously.

With the name shouted out, I finally remembered everything, remembered the moment of first meeting, remembered the desperate escape of life and death, remembered… I am Chen Chengyi!

The beautiful night in front of me shattered in my eyes, and the entire dreamlike village once again returned to a state of misty obscurity. My whole body was covered with goosebumps!

At this moment, I knew clearly that I had been possessed by the ghost of the demon Rakshasa, and that I had come to this place alone with it. The scene in my dream had happened in reality. It had never left me. It had always appeared in my dreams, carrying out a ‘cleansing’ of my soul. It seemed to have a unique taste for evil, wanting to conquer one man after another, even though it could easily kill them.

“Heh heh heh heh…” I heard a series of light laughter in my arms, a laugh with an indescribable sense of irony and madness.

I subconsciously looked down to see, for the first time in my life, the appearance of the ghost Rakshasa. It was vaguely a very beautiful woman with white and pale facial features, but this face was so terrifying.

Her eyes were pure black, with a venomous glare. On one side of her forehead was a clear blood hole, which was oozing blood and staining half of her face red.

Sometimes a terrifying image is not about rotten meat or decay, but the impact of this kind of color and the eerie atmosphere is enough to make a person collapse.

The ghost Rakshasa was laughing, and I froze in that moment. Its smile was too terrifying, and the whole mouth opened wider and wider, to an angle that no longer conformed to human proportions, revealing the white teeth in its mouth. It was a Rakshasa, and naturally it already had sharp teeth.

I felt that the next moment, it would open its mouth and swallow me!
