chapter 15
The man’s hand groped inside her sister’s belly, caressing as if he had discovered a precious treasure.
A trace of pleasure appeared on his face, filling Zhang Lili with a wave of fear and unease.
Slowly, the man withdrew a mass from the belly, and what Zhang Lili saw made her dizzy and faint.
Because it was not an organ, but a five-month-old Baby!
This five-month-old Baby had actually been dug out alive from its mother’s belly before it was fully developed!
The pungent smell of blood spread, making Zhang Lili feel extremely nauseated, almost unable to stop herself from vomiting.
But at the same time, she was so terrified that she was dumbfounded, completely losing control.
Her body began to tremble uncontrollably, her face pale as paper, cold sweat pouring down her forehead like rain, soaking her eyelashes and the rims of her eyes.
“How is this possible… How could this happen.”
Zhang Lili said in a trembling voice, her words filled with deep fear and confusion.
Then the man, his expression manic, muttered to himself, “Wonderful, it’s born, how great!”
Immediately, the man raised his arm, holding the Baby high above his head, laughing madly and ferociously.
“Look, isn’t it adorable? Hahahaha…”
Hearing his words, Zhang Lili felt a chill run through her entire body.
The Baby was already dead.
Dug out alive.
Covered in blood, a sight too tragic to bear.
The man’s smile grew even more exaggerated and crazed, filling the entire Back Mountain with a nauseating stench of blood.
He gently pinched the Baby’s face with his hand.
The Baby was covered in red blood, lifeless, offering no resistance, letting the man do as he pleased, showing not a trace of pain.
Zhang Lili stared in horror at everything before her, knowing this was not a dream, but a reality that truly existed.
The man’s expression shifted as if he had thought of something, a wicked smile curling at the corners of his mouth, his eyes narrowing slightly.
“Right, some children are born without being breastfed.”
Then, he lowered his head and carefully stuffed the Baby back into the woman’s belly, continuing, “Be good, don’t cry, I’ll get you some milk right away.”
The man took out the small knife from his pocket again, his gaze sharp as he stripped the clothes off the girl lying on the ground, and used the knife to cut off her breast.
Soon, a ball of flesh wrapped in red blood appeared in the man’s hand.
He stuffed the ball of flesh into the Baby’s mouth, and then his eyes softened, becoming gentle and kind, as if he were caring for his most beloved treasure.
“What, you still haven’t had enough?”
The man frowned at the Baby in the belly, his tone seeming a bit anxious and uneasy.
But he did not act immediately, instead waiting patiently for a few seconds.
Then he used the knife to cut off the girl’s other breast, and once again placed it in the Baby’s hand.
As the man did all this, his expression grew even softer and kinder, even tinged with a trace of pity.
He seemed to be cherishing a peerless treasure, his gaze increasingly compassionate, his expression becoming incomparably serious and solemn.
He focused all his attention on the Baby before him, as if nothing else existed in his eyes.
Only then did the man finally reveal a smile.
“Full now? That’s good…”
The man put the knife back into his pocket, his expression returning to the calm and composure of a normal person, without a trace of impurity.
He straightened up, walked over to Zhang Lili, squatted down, and patted her cheek.
Zhang Lili was startled by the sudden action, her body jolting violently.
With a strange smile at the corner of his mouth, the man said, “From now on, you are Zhang Li… Remember what I said.”
Zhang Lili’s mind was completely blank. At a loss, she could only instinctively shrink back.
Then the man walked out of the Back Mountain. Because of the darkness, Zhang Lili couldn’t see how he left at all.
She stared dazedly in the direction where he disappeared, her body still trembling violently, unable to believe that what had just happened was real.
She had only answered a phone call-why would something like this happen?
Suddenly, she felt a wave of icy cold air rush over her, making her shudder.
She opened her eyes and saw, in the distance, her sister Zhang Li lying there, her breasts cut off… and her abdomen torn open with a gaping wound.
Inside the wound was a Baby.
Their gazes seemed to be fixed on her at the same time;
Zhang Lili immediately felt her stomach churn, clutching her mouth and retching, tears streaming down her face.
She ran toward the Dormitory…
After Zhang Lili recounted the story of what she had experienced the previous night,
She kept repeating,
“I am Zhang Li, I am Zhang Li, I am Zhang Li.”
Chen Shu stood to the side, carefully observing Zhang Lili.
At that moment, Zhang Lili looked extremely fragile, as if she would collapse to the ground with just a gentle push.
But he chose not to comfort her.
It was as if he was deep in thought.
Zhang Lili’s mental state was extremely poor; it seemed she would need some time to recover, and she must be treated as soon as possible, otherwise she might suffer severe aftereffects, or even develop a mental illness!
Then, Lu Fan called a doctor to have Zhang Lili sent to the hospital.
At this point, only Xiao Gao, Chen Shu, and Lu Fan remained in the room.
Lu Fan thought for a few seconds, then looked at Chen Shu: “Do you have any clues?”
Chen Shu was also pondering the terrifying scene Zhang Lili had encountered yesterday.
“First, just as I suspected, she is not Zhang Li, but Zhang Lili.”
“Just as I thought, she did see her future self, and she has seen this kind of knife before.”
After speaking, Chen Shu took out his small knife.
“Second, they both liked the same boy. She was manipulated by the future ‘Chen Shu’ and witnessed a cruel scene.
After such a powerful shock, she was so afraid and terrified that she kept hypnotizing herself, so she subconsciously believed she was the one who harmed her sister. She thought she was Zhang Li, and Zhang Li was her.”
At this, Lu Fan suddenly furrowed his brows.
“Then how can you be sure she is Zhang Lili and not Zhang Li?”
“Because the name was wrong, but the phone call was not!”
Chen Shu was now even more certain of his deduction.
He began to share his analysis with the other two.
Three years ago, when he asked Zhang Lili her name, he wrote it down incorrectly.
Chen Shu had just casually thought of that character, but unexpectedly, she actually had a twin sister named Zhang Li.
“What’s your name?”
“Zhang Lili.”
“Is it the ‘Li’ from jasmine flower?”
“Whatever, either is fine.”
At first, when Chen Shu called her to ask about the pregnancy,
He thought Zhang Lili was lying to him.
But Chen Shu was overthinking it; she actually wasn’t lying, because she had no memory of the past three years.
Or rather, anyone listed in Chen Shu’s Patient Medical Record
These people seemed to have been revived, with three years of their lives erased.
Because the ‘Chen Shu’ who is killing now comes from three years in the future.
And the other ‘Chen Shu’ who was killed comes from six years in the future.
6-3=3. When 6 is gone, two 3s exist in the same space-time, and when they are added together in an unequal way, chaos occurs, forcing space-time to subtract one 3.
