Chapter 643: Chapter 643: Clothes Ghost
At that moment, Miao Erfang emerged from the bathroom after a shower, wearing a brand new set of pink, princess-like pajamas, with her cascading wet hair and makeup-free face looking absolutely stunning.
She began to dry her hair with a towel while preparing to sit on the sofa for a while.
Suddenly, Miao Erfang noticed numerous pieces of clothing scattered on the sofa and the floor.
“Huh? What’s going on with these clothes? They don’t seem to be ours.” Miao Erfang mused out loud, puzzled. “There are even men’s clothes…how weird.”
Just as Miao Erfang was trying to figure out what was happening, a chilling incident occurred!
Whooosh~~Whooosh~~Whooosh~~~
To her disbelief, the clothes started floating in the air, eerily orbiting Miao Erfang, laughing and emitting strange noises akin to hard plastic scraping against glass.
“What a beautiful girl~ wear me… hurry up and wear me…”
“Beautiful, do you like this skirt? It’s Chanel, just try it on. It will look lovely.”
“Beautiful woman, wear this T-shirt of mine, it’s just your size~~”
…
Clothes can fly? And talk?
The bizarre sight made Miao Erfang’s scalp prickle, goosebumps erupting all over her body, sending a shiver down her spine.
Just as she was about to scream, suddenly, a strange force seemed to have taken hold of her, rendering her unable to move.
Gradually, Miao Erfang’s eyes lost their sharpness, appearing vacant, as if she were under some sort of spell. Staring at the floating clothes, she murmured with a slight smirk, “This purple dress… It’s so beautiful…”
Hehe~~Hehe~~~” In mid-air, the purple dress echoed a bloodthirsty sound, rustling excitedly. “If you think it’s pretty, put it on now~~”
Utterly bewitched, Miao Erfang reached out and grabbed the purple dress, slipping it onto her slender figure.
The other clothes began to rustle and tremble, whirling around and creating an eerie, ghostly wind with faint cries, laughter, and whispers.
“Well then… Let’s go to the rooftop~~~” The purple dress embedded with a demonic allure echoed.
Miao Erfang, barefoot and spellbound, ambled towards the door, opened it, took the elevator to the rooftop. A string of drifting clothes trailed after her into the elevator.
…
Downstairs.
After Huang Xiaolong and Zhou Mi went downstairs, they hadn’t left immediately.
The corpse had been removed, but the caution tape still cordoned off the area, with distinctive stains of blood still present.
Many residents gathered around discussing the incident, with some attempting to deduce why the occupant had jumped off the building.
“Master Long, let’s hurry and leave.” Zhou Mi suggested, tugging on Huang Xiaolong’s sleeve.
“Hmm~~~” Huang Xiaolong squinted at the bloody stain on the ground, murmuring, “There’s a spirit… This suicide isn’t normal. If I’m not mistaken… Tsk tsk, it seems this complex has been contaminated by something unclean. The resentment is profound.”
Just then!
“Damn! Look up there! There’s someone on the rooftop!”
Someone nearby howled.
Everyone looked up.
In the moonlight, they could barely make out a young woman in a purple dress standing on the edge of the rooftop.
Being far too high, no one could discern her features clearly, but it was obvious that she was a young girl with a rather nice figure.
Instantly, the woman nimbly climbed onto the railing, standing on it while her eyes gazed down. A twisted, deranged expression surfaced on her face.
“Jump. Jump and you’ll find true joy. It’s an amusing world… Jump now. Once you’ve jumped, you can play with me.” The purple dress whispered in a seductive voice.
The woman, of course, was Miao Erfang.
Upon hearing the eerie sound of the purple dress, Miao Erfang did not hesitate. She took a step forward with her left foot, leaving it dangling off the edge of the building. Her body leaned precariously forward, as unsteady as a golden rooster standing on one foot, about to fall any moment.
Commotion broke out below!
“My God! She’s going to jump!”
“What’s happening? Another person jumping off the building? Is there something wrong with this neighborhood!”
“She’s just a young woman… Oh lady, don’t do such foolish thing! There’s no burden that you can’t get through. Stay positive! Value your life!”
…
“No way, it seems… seems… seems like Erfang!” Zhou Mi shrieked in terror and disbelief.
Huang Xiaolong immediately recognized the woman about to leap was Miao Erfang. In his eyes, the purple dress she was wearing was enveloped by a dense aura of gloom and ghostly spirits. Moreover, a horrifying ghost, blood-soaked and clad in red, was perched on Miao Erfang’s shoulders, snickering with greedy, malicious eyes, and covering her eyes with both hands.
In a split second, Miao Erfang’s other foot also moved forward.
Like a plummeting weight, her body shot downward from the thirtieth floor.
Her falling speed was incredibly fast, too quick for the onlookers below to react.
Many wanted to shout out, but before their voices could leave their opened mouths, Miao Erfang was almost hitting the ground.
With a flash of his figure, Huang Xiaolong darted forward, neatly catching Miao Erfang in his arms just as she was about to crash into the ground.
Boom~~~!!!
The ground under Huang Xiaolong’s feet cracked.
The force of a person falling from thirty floors was colossal, impossible for a regular person to withstand, yet Huang Xiaolong caught Miao Erfang as casually as if it was an everyday occurrence, transferring the momentum of the fall into the ground.
At this moment, the purple dress that Miao Erfang was wearing automatically slipped off her body like a ghoul, spinning in mid-air as though caught by the wind.
Miao Erfang’s eyes slowly regained clarity. Seeing Huang Xiaolong in her sight, she asked bafflingly, “Master Long… Why… why was I jumping off the building?”
“Erfang, you scared the life out of me!” Zhou Mi, still traumatized, rushed over.
With a mocking smile, Huang Xiaolong looked at the hovering purple dress and murmured, “Some people die with too much resentment, so they wish to drag the living with them. Therefore, their spirits cling onto the clothes they wore while alive. If a living person gets these clothes, they will be bewitched into putting them on and then driven to commit suicide – jumping off a building, hanging themselves, slitting their wrists… So it’s best to avoid buying secondhand clothes from the market…”
As his words trailed off, countless pieces of clothing suddenly drifted down from the rooftop.
A cold wind howled! The residential complex was teeming with ghostly shadows!
In the next second…
Each piece of clothing automatically enveloped the onlookers below!
Changed!
All the people wearing these clothes transformed!
Their expressions turned vacant, their eyes filled with greed and malice. Their smiles were hauntingly creepy.
Strong grudges clung to these bodies, undoubtedly originating from these spectral clothing draped on them!
Then, the sounds of footsteps echoed from all directions, men and women with bared teeth and numb faces, bloodthirsty eyes looking as if they were ready to devour the living, closed in towards Huang Xiaolong. They too were draped in old clothes.
The negative energy and grudges in the neighborhood were as dense as a cumulous cloud.
Sizzle~~Sizzle~~Sizzle~~~
The streetlights in the neighborhood flickered unpredictably.
“Heehee~~Heehee~~Heehee~~~”
The crowd donned in old clothes, chuckled eerily, encircling Huang Xiaolong and the others with menacing intent.
