Sure enough, after that day, Chu Fan never appeared again. I had no idea what he could do after that ghostly encounter, but as long as he didn’t come to bother me, everything was fine.
“Anxin, what have you been doing at night? You look so tired,” Lin You said as she watched me yawn repeatedly. Suddenly, she gave me a teasing smile. “Are you getting along well with some guy? Your face looks much more radiant lately! So moisturized!”
“Stop talking nonsense. I’ve just been having nightmares every night and haven’t slept well,” I shot her a glare and took her hand to touch my face. “This smoothness is because I’ve been using an amazing Face Mask. Otherwise, would my skin look this good with poor sleep?”
Lin You touched my face and nodded. “It does feel nice.”
“Of course it does! I wear it every night while I sleep!”
Lin You poked my waist in annoyance and threatened, “You should have shared this good stuff earlier! Hurry up and tell me, or else I’ll take you down.”
“I’m just using myself as a test subject!” I pulled out my phone and showed her. “One Face Mask can be reused, and the results are incredible. Plus, it comes in a little wooden box—super charming!”
Lin You eagerly opened Taobao, while I rested my chin on my hand, boredly watching the pedestrians outside and yawning.
“Anxin, are you seeing things? Where’s a Face Mask that comes in a wooden box and can be reused?”
“How could there not be? I haven’t bought much lately; that was my first order!”
Lin You pushed her phone in front of me. “Look for yourself; the first order was canceled by the seller. They contacted you saying it was out of stock.”
"Ah?" I took the phone and looked at it carefully. It was really like this. Now I felt strange because I hadn't gone online to confirm the receipt. "Then since the transaction was unsuccessful, what about Face Mask? "How did you send it to me?" "The seller must have sent it to the wrong address. It hasn't happened before. You thought it just appeared out of thin air?" Lin You rolled his eyes at me and shook his hand, "I We have a family gathering tonight. Let’s go first.” I stared blankly at the screen of my phone. What happened out of thin air? I immediately went to the Website that was closed for trading, and found that the Face Mask sold there was completely different from the one sent to me. I searched again on Baidu, and there was no reusable Face Mask at all. . The scene of using FaceMask for the first time suddenly came to mind, as well as the nightmares I had every night for the past two days, which seemed to be the same woman. His face was as pale as a ghost. After taking a shower at night, I lay on the bed with FaceMask. Looking left and right, I saw it was just a very ordinary FaceMask, but it did feel softer and more like an ordinary FaceMask. Skin is smooth and tender. "It's better not to use it." I shivered all over, put the FaceMask in the box, turned off the lights and went to sleep. In the dream, I felt a little cold on my face, as if I had applied something on it. I opened my eyes and found that I was standing in the forest again. The woman was still standing in the same place, looking at me with a pair of eyes, but I could never see her face.
The night breeze was cool, brushing against my cheek with an unexpected chill that shouldn't have been present in a dream. It sent a shiver through me, causing me to step back, and before I knew it, I had fallen to the ground.
"It hurts."
A branch had pierced my palm, and the pain was sharp as a drop of blood trickled from the wound.
I was still trying to comprehend why I felt pain when a white shadow flashed before my eyes, and a blurry face suddenly appeared in front of me.
Unlike the skeleton from before, a snake's tongue suddenly extended from the blur, quickly touching my injured hand. The icy sensation was slick and utterly disgusting.
I recoiled in horror but found myself unable to move. I wanted to scream, but no sound escaped my lips as I watched helplessly as the snake's tongue drew my blood from the wound.
In an instant, a pungent taste of blood accompanied by a whispering wind reached me. Just as I felt nauseous, I saw that a mouth was gradually forming on the blurry face of the woman. Her sharp fangs glistened like knife edges, stained with rust-colored blood. As her gaping maw opened wide, a bloody and mangled head emerged from within, lunging straight at me.
"Ah—" With a start, I leaped out of bed. The sky outside was already bright, warm light streaming into the room, yet I felt an overwhelming chill.
"I want your face," came a sudden, ethereal voice that startled me so much that I rolled off the bed, fearfully scanning the room's furnishings.
A gentle breeze brushed past; there was nothing there.
