Chapter 0239 – Is it my turn?
”At first I thought that the food I cooked was not to her liking, and I didn’t care.”
”But then I realized that things weren’t like that.”
”One night in the middle of the night I woke up from my sleep and heard something in the kitchen, so I quietly got up from my bed.”
”There were no lights on in the house, so I thought a burglar had entered, and when I got closer I realized that the back in the kitchen looked a bit like my wife.”
”She took out a large piece of meat from a plastic bag and held a kitchen knife in her other hand.”
”Chopping the meat would make a noise, maybe she was worried about waking me up, just slit the surface of that piece of meat and put in the seasoning, followed by putting the whole thing into the pot.”
”Stewing meat? My wife actually went to make a stew in the middle of the night?”
”Maybe she’s preparing it for tomorrow’s breakfast and lunch.”
”I love my wife and although I thought it was strange, I didn’t bother her and went back to my room and peeked at her along the open door.”
”It was 3:00 a.m. when my wife’s meat was finally done stewing, and she looked outside to see that the bedroom door was open and I was still in bed asleep.”
”As if she didn’t want me to see anything, she closed the kitchen door.”
”I then heard the sound of teeth tearing into something, and after only about twenty minutes had passed, my wife walked out of the kitchen carrying a black opaque garbage bag.”
”I don’t know why, but I felt a little scared looking at her.”
”She had a slight bulge in her small belly, grease residue on her face, and a contented smile.”
”After throwing away the garbage bag, my wife took a shower, rinsed off the smell of her body, and lay beside me as usual.”
”The Pillowman seemed to have a special fetish, and it was at the beginning of that day that I realized I didn’t understand her at all.”
”I stayed up all night, and when I got up at dawn to go to work, my wife was still lying next to me, sleeping soundly.”
”She was so beautiful asleep that you couldn’t help but want to kiss her, but what happened in the kitchen last night made me a little hesitant.”
”I looked over to her belly, and her stomach wasn’t so bulging anymore.”
”Everything last night was like a hallucination.”
”I got dressed and went downstairs, the downstairs dumpster had been cleaned out and the black garbage bag from last night was nowhere to be found.”
”The next night the same thing happened again, and she seemed to have come down with a disease that favored meat.”
”I was up all night again this day, and when it was four o’clock in the morning, after my wife was asleep, I quietly dressed and went out.”
”It was still light when I rummaged through the garbage and finally saw the black plastic bag my wife had thrown away.”
”Inside were bones covered with teeth marks, as if they were a chicken.”
”It’s amazing that my wife can eat a whole chicken by herself, I suddenly realized that I don’t know her well enough.”
”On a new day, my wife’s abnormality continued, and I would get up early every day to go through the garbage she had thrown away.”
”The more I looked, the more alarmed I felt.”
”The wife seemed to be trying different meats, from chicken and fish in the beginning, to later I even found bags stained with cat and dog hair.”
”I am a cat lover and it was from that day on that I felt I needed to have a talk with her.”
”She must have been sick, or maybe there was a demon residing in her stomach.”
”No one would allow their pillow to do such crazy things.”
”I laid it out to her, and at first she refused to admit it, but when I brought out the black bag with the garbage in it, she finally bowed her head.”
”She told me that she couldn’t control herself and that she was hungry at the end of the day, other than that she didn’t have any unusual behavior.”
”She said she would take good care of me and love me, but who would want their pillow to be a sick, crazy person?”
”After careful consideration, I decided to divorce her and hastily end this short marriage.”
”My wife stayed bitterly, and I loved her in my heart, but her various behaviors made me feel uneasy.”
”I left her and moved out on my own.”
”My wife still seems to love me and leaves me messages and calls me every day and tries everything to reach me.”
”Frankly speaking, she has no shortcomings except for the quirks in her body, gentle and considerate, beautiful and virtuous.”
”Gradually, a twinge of guilt and remorse arose in my heart.”
”It lasted about a month when I received a call from a strange man who claimed to be a police officer.”
”He suspected that my wife had something to do with a disappearance at the TV station, asked me some questions and told me to be more careful.”
”I began to feel a little glad that I had left my wife early; if I had been a few days late, I was afraid that I would have been the one to go missing.”
”Returning to the rented place, I reheated the cold meal and swallowed it whole.”
”After eating, I seemed to be hallucinating.”
”I saw my wife get out from under the bed in the bedroom.”
”She looked at me with a smile and said that I didn’t pay attention to my body, and that my habit of not wasting leftovers still hadn’t changed even though I hadn’t seen her for such a long time.”
”I don’t know how she got into my house, all I know is that I’m afraid I’ll never be able to get away from her again and be with her forever and ever.”
The woman’s story ended here, and after she finished, both Number Two and Chen Ge subconsciously turned away from her.
This woman stood in the husband’s perspective to tell the wife’s story, but according to the plot of her story, the husband was in a bad way, and I’m afraid that he was long gone from the earth.
If you think about it, the only person who knows about it who is still alive is the wife.
The wife’s profession is a radio anchor, and the woman herself has a beautiful voice, and much of the story glorifies the wife.
From these details it could be seen that the woman in front of her was most likely the crazy woman who liked to eat meat in the story.
”It’s been a long time since I heard such a wonderful story.” The man on the left gently clapped his hands as he looked at the woman with a rather aggressive gaze and a hint of playfulness in his eyes, “All three newcomers have interesting stories, it’s really hard to choose.”
After he finished speaking he slowly looked up at Chen Ge, his eyes under the mask gazing at Chen Ge’s face, “Number four, let me hear your story.”
”Is it my turn?” Chen Ge was thinking about the question in his mind, the one next to himself, Number Three, had a voice that possessed a high degree of recognizability, and just through his voice, Chen Ge had already confirmed the identity of the other party.
Number three was the podcaster of a midnight radio station in Jiujiang called Lychee, Chen Ge had listened to her program.
Several people in the room were looking forward to Chen Ge’s story, after all, he was the fourth special newcomer to appear.
Chen Ge stood in a corner of the room where no one could see, the color of blood tumbling through the shadows behind him, a single thread of blood seeming like a needle and thread that was weaving a bright red coat.
”I have many stories, let me think about which one to start with first.”
