The head had been boiled to the point of being unrecognizable, its flesh transformed into a dark red hue by the broth, with only a few strands of hair still clinging on, indicating that she had once been a woman. I really don't want to describe the scene in detail, as it was utterly disgusting, leaving me unable to eat chicken or drink broth ever since. I also vowed never to consume anything cooked in an opaque pot again.
Before long, police cars arrived with flashing lights, sealing off the area as we anxiously returned to our dormitory.
The ordeal was far from over. That night, Zi Yi and the other girls from her dormitory returned and were immediately terrified. When she opened the door, she saw a female corpse hanging in the air, swaying back and forth.
Zi Yi had hanged herself in the dormitory. Her long tongue, devoid of saliva for too long, was exposed to the bursting air. On the left side of her face, only a clean white skull remained; even her gums had been stripped away, leaving her large teeth embedded in the jawbone. Three dark holes marked her left eye, left ear, and left nostril. The right side of her face was intact, but her right eyeball bulged out in pain, bloodshot and filled with terror as it stared at everything around.
The head in the pot was confirmed by forensic experts to be that of her sister, Zi Shan. Two severed arms were also retrieved from the pot, but Zi Shan's body was never found. They could be distinguished because Zi Yi had a small red cinnabar mole at the corner of her right eye that her sister did not have.
This case ultimately went unsolved and ranked first among the "Top Ten Unsolved Cases" since our school's establishment.
Countless individuals who fancied themselves detectives anonymously speculated about the incident on campus BBS forums, crafting vivid scenarios that led readers to mistakenly believe they were the culprits. As a screenwriting student myself, I attempted to write a script based on these ideas. Unfortunately, my imagination paled in comparison to those on the forum, and I abandoned the script halfway through.
"Do you remember?" Zi Yi asked.
"I remember," I replied, my palms sweating.
"I can sense your fear. Don't be afraid; I won't harm you. But as for my sister... that's another story."
"Zi Shan?" I asked.
"Yes. The one from the Coffee Shop earlier."
"Why are you looking for me?"
"Because you are our father."
Me: Father? (I was both amused and confused. This must be a classmate of mine who changed his QQ number to tease me. But how did he know that I was lying naked on the bed using a laptop to chat?) Me: Stop kidding. Who are you? A long silence... Just when I was about to go crazy, another sentence came from the other side. Zi Yi: This matter is very complicated. I need to discuss it with you in person. Is that okay? Me: Of course. Time? Place? Zi Yi: I have reminded you many times. Don't you remember? "Midnight Awaits Your Arrival!" I suddenly thought of this sentence. Me: Midnight, Ghost Coffee House? Zi Yi: Yes. I hope you will be there tonight. By the way, this matter cannot be told to anyone. Time is running out! Me: Why can't I tell others? Why is time running out? Zi Yi: You have been hit by my sister's Blood Curse. If you can't end her Grudge within three days, you will become a lonely ghost like us. If you tell others, those who know will also be imprisoned by the Blood Curse, and the end will be the same. Me: I will definitely go tonight. I want to see who is so bored that he would play such a joke on me! Zi Yi: I know you don't believe it, you will understand when you come.
The only QQ avatar that was lit up was off, and the entire QQ became a gloomy grave. I thought about it carefully. My birthday is still half a year away, and it is obvious that no one will be so bored as to wish me a happy birthday at this time. I thought about all the memorable days in my life related to today, but I found nothing. At the end of the thought, I laughed. It must be her! Nansanen, is it fun to torment your boyfriend like this? It's not worth it to scare him to death! I shook my head helplessly. Nansanen is a weird woman. It's too easy for her to use her expertise to create these things. And she also heard me talk about this case, and she also shouted that she wanted to make a horror micro-film to participate in the competition. I must experience a series of extremely terrifying encounters tonight, and then this girl will jump out laughing, and Shang Da will be very interested in watching me being scared to death. And I just need to pretend that I don't know what's going on and actively cooperate with her. Otherwise, I don't know what kind of ghost ideas this ghost girl will come up with after being disappointed. Thinking of this, all the unsolved mysteries suddenly became clear. I was in a good mood, and my whole body felt exhausted after extreme relaxation. My eyelids became heavier and heavier, and I fell into a deep sleep. I slept very well, and I was even a little excited to wait until midnight, and hurried to Ghost Coffee House. But I still looked doubtful. I walked to my usual seat and pretended to be uneasy and stared outside. The waiter brought a cup of Royal Copenhagen, and then hid behind the counter to play with his mobile phone. The pendulum swung old-fashionedly. Finally, the dark hour and minute hands overlapped at the 12 position, and midnight arrived. "Dong, Dong..." I was refreshed and inexplicably excited: What should happen next? Looking around, nothing happened, Ghost Coffee House was still normal. I turned my eyes back to the front, but suddenly saw a woman sitting opposite me! When did she come?
