"What are you here for?" I asked the female police officer unkindly.
The female police officer smiled maliciously once again. "Nothing much, it's just that the town has been unsettled lately, and the higher-ups are a bit worried. They assigned me a task to bring you and your uncle to the police station to assist us, or else they asked me to stay and help you."
"Really?" I was stunned, "You're not kidding, are you? You want to stay?"
The female police officer looked at me unkindly, "What's with that look? You don't think I'm interested in you, do you? If you're not willing, I'm even less inclined. Besides, I'm not one of your female classmates, I haven't seen a man."
As she spoke, the female police officer suddenly gave me a malicious look, and I hurriedly crossed my legs.
"Hehe." The female police officer laughed even more brightly, "Do you really think I want to touch you? You're so narcissistic."
Seeing the female police officer like this, I felt bitter. For more than ten years, it had only been my uncle and I in the house, now with Wang Qian moving in, and now this daring female police officer joining in. My future would be quite awkward.
I felt speechless, "Forget it, whatever, if you want to stay, stay; if not, then not. But my house isn't big enough, I doubt there's a place for you to stay. I'm going to bed now."
As I spoke, I stood up and started taking off my clothes. Seeing this, the female police officer's face changed dramatically, "What are you doing?"
I looked helplessly at the female police officer, "Miss, you said you've seen countless men, didn't you? So why are you embarrassed now?"
As I spoke, I looked at the female police officer and saw her face turn red, then she said in embarrassment, "But, but those were all corpses, you're a living person, how can they be the same?"
After speaking, the female police officer ran out. Watching her leave, I was stunned, and finally realized, she said she had seen countless men, but did she mean corpses?
I lay down feeling speechless, with turbulent emotions, and closed my eyes to sleep.
Gradually, the night grew late, the surroundings were silent, and there was no movement in the house.
But then, at that moment, I suddenly opened my eyes, bit my finger, and flung a drop of blood in the direction of the door.
Suddenly, there was a feeling of palpitations in the room, and this feeling quickly retreated from the room, accompanied by a scream. A wave of resentment retracted from under the door crack.
"Huh?" My reaction just now was almost instinctual, I was asleep, but I clearly felt that something was approaching me as I slept, so I didn't think about it and opened my eyes and bit my finger directly.
After flinging a drop of blood, an evil spirit indeed appeared in the room.
"What's going on?" Hearing the scream, I frowned, and my whole person was completely awake.
I turned to look at the doorway, the resentment had just retreated from under the door crack. I couldn't help but feel angry; this evil spirit was really too bold, to actually dare to come to my room.
"No." With this thought, I rolled out of bed and prepared to go outside to see.
But before I could make a move, there suddenly came a fleeting woman's voice from outside the door, "The ones who should die have died, but the ones who should die are still living well in this world. What kind of reasoning is this?"
The voice was very elusive, coming from outside the door. I walked out of the room and looked through the crack in the door. Sure enough, there was a woman in white sitting on a stone outside.
From the looks of it, this was the evil spirit that had appeared in my room.
Curious, I opened the door and walked slowly toward the woman sitting on the stone outside. Tonight, there was a bright moon in the sky, so the night was relatively luminous.
In the desolate moonlight, this woman in white actually gave off a somewhat frosty feeling.
"Originally, you were the ones who should die, but you survived and caused suffering to others. How many innocent people have suffered and died because of you? How can you live in this world with a clear conscience?"
"Sister." By now I was very close to the woman and could almost see her face, but it was unclear. I said, "Who are you talking to?"
Suddenly, the woman turned her head and stared at me, unmoving, saying, "Can't you understand? I'm talking about you."
"Hmm?" I was mentally prepared, but after hearing this, I was actually stunned. My gaze swept over the woman's body, and I saw that her white clothes were somewhat like a mourning dress. Her hair was very long, covering half her face, but even with half a face, I could tell she was a young and beautiful woman.
I asked in confusion, "Sister, do we know each other?"
"Don't play dumb with me," the woman suddenly stood up from the stone and pounced towards me.
But just then, a square piece of cloth suddenly fell from the sky. Before the woman could react, she was covered by the cloth. She screamed twice, struggled a bit, and then disappeared within the cloth.
It was Uncle's soul-capturing blanket. When I turned around, Uncle was indeed standing behind me.
"Uncle," I called out.
"Mm," Uncle walked over. "Do you know what this is?"
I looked at Uncle in confusion and shook my head lightly, "I don't know."
Uncle didn't say anything, but crouched down to pick up his soul-capturing blanket and rubbed his finger on it, then pressed it against my forehead.
In that instant, I suddenly felt as if the sky had darkened, and then I fell uncontrollably to the ground. But that wasn't the end, because after I fell, another scene appeared in my mind.
A river stretched out in front of me, and the water flowing in the river was blood red. Moreover, the river water was churning, with blood-red waves rising in the river. Suddenly, five sleek heads emerged from the blood-red water, the same five children I had seen ten years ago in Duanjia Village.
The five children looked at me and grinned, "You can't escape."
At this point, I woke up. Opening my eyes, I saw myself still lying outside, and Uncle was sitting on the stone where the woman had been sitting earlier.
"What did you see?" Uncle asked.
I looked at Uncle, puzzled, and said, "Uncle, what does this all mean?"
"Mm-hmm." I nodded and said, "A blood-red river, and those five little ghosts."
Uncle Er suddenly let out a long sigh, stood up, and said, "It's a blood curse."
"A blood curse?" I asked, puzzled. "What does that mean, Uncle Er?"
Uncle Er said, "That female ghost just now carried the evil aura of the five ghosts, most likely from Duanjia Village. It should have been attracted by your blood curse."
