Chapter 11 Screaming in Fright
Everyone who heard the scream jumped in fright, even Wu Xiaoye’s expression changed. If at this time, had anyone looked at her hands, they would have noticed her left hand suddenly moved nimbly, quickly forming a few different hand seals. Also, her eyes flitted an intense coldness.
But no one present noticed Wu Xiaoye’s weird hand seals. Their focus was instead on another scream they just heard.
Their faces were a sheet of white, just like it had been painted with a layer of white. In particular, Zhang Zhong, his knees turned limp and almost fell to the ground.
“Could Zhao Lingjun have seen some supernatural things below?” Thought many.
But at the manhole, Zhang Changsheng was instead stunned, and staring blankly down the hole.
Zhang Changsheng had been beside the manhole the whole time, therefore he could clearly hear where the scream originated from. He was definite that the sound came from the sewers, and the echo along with it solidified that.
“The first and second scream were obviously different. The first scream compared to this was much higher pitched. If this scream was from Zhao Lingjun, then where did the first one come from?” Zhang Changsheng wondered.
Zhang Changsheng for no reason, suddenly thought of the ghost in red, with blood dripping from her eyes. He felt absolutely horrified, and goose b.u.mps rose all over his arms. As he was about to ask Zhao Lingjun if he was alright, he heard a bellow from the sewers.
“Zhang Changsheng… … …” Zhao Lingjun’s voice echoed out from the sewer.
“What happened? Are you okay?” Zhang Changsheng quickly replied, puzzled why he sounded so angry.
“MLGBD.” Zhang Changsheng immediately heard another bellow from the sewers. “Why did you pull on the rope for no reason? Don’t you know that it’s painful? I was almost strangled to death by you!”
“Oops. I’m sorry, it wasn’t on purpose.” Zhang Changsheng shouted back with a red face. Zhang Changsheng was suddenly hit with the realization that he had unconsciously jerked the rope when he had heard the first scream.
“It wasn’t on purpose? If it wasn’t on purpose then why did you scream earlier? Do you intend on frightening me to death?” Zhao Lingjun chidded in the pitch black sewer. “Don’t you know how scary it is in here?”
“What? I didn’t scream.” Zhang Changsheng felt a chill creep up his spine.
“If it wasn’t you, then was it a gho…”
Before Zhao Lingjun could finish saying the word ghost, another shrill scream was heard.
This scream was significantly softer than the second scream. But Zhang Changsheng clearly heard it originate from behind him.
Zhang Changsheng turned and saw the “beautiful” Hao Meili with a face full of fright, covering her mouth.
“Manager Hao, are you reenacting that film?” Zhang Changsheng asked amicably. If it was a different person shouting, Zhang Changsheng would have already berated him to the point of crying. But when he saw that it was from Hao Meili, he could only gloomily say, “Don’t you know that you could have scared a person to death?”
“I also didn’t do it on purpose.” Hao Meili patted her chest, and like the aggrieved party, said, “I heard a sploosh, and was startled.”
“So that first scream was also you?” Zhang Changsheng accused.
“I…” Hao Meili stamped her feet and said, “Aiya, don’t you find it very frightening?”
“You…” Zhang Changsheng stared speechlessly at Hao Meili. The sentence ‘There can be nothing more frightening and disgusting than you, Baoya Zhen. A 30 year old aunty dressing up as a pure and innocent 20 year old girl,’ had almost left his mouth before he decide to say “Manager Hao, you should go and do your own things, stop creating havoc here.”
“Then I shall not accompany you guys any longer.” Hao Meili shot a “charming” gaze at Zhang Changsheng and said. “I shall go out to buy things. Tell Xiao Zhao to be careful down there.”
“F*ck. Hypocrite, really a f*cking hypocrite.” Zhang Changsheng depressingly thought.
“Zhang Changsheng, Zhang Changsh…”
At this moment, Zhang Changsheng heard Zhao Lingjun shout for him again.
“Is something wrong?” Zhang Changsheng quickly replied while holding his breath and crouching over the hole.
“Throw the flashlight down.” Zhang Changsheng saw a dark shadow at the bottom of the sewer reply to him.
“Then make sure you are securely tied to the rope.”
“If I ask you to throw it, quickly throw it. MLGBD.” Zhang Lingjun yelled. “If you don’t hurry up, I will be killed by the f*cking stench.
