Chapter 31 - Kiss You (1/2)

Jiang Yunhuo saw someone strange. So strange that he felt scared.

Chen Xingzhou asked: “What do you mean by strange?”

Jiang Yunhuo was still in a fearful state: “When I was searching through that room, I saw a person run past and he was making strange shouts. I was curious so I followed him………”

He was also very careful and maintained a distance away from him.

Jiang Yunhuo didn’t know that person. Seeing him run past while yelling, he felt that something wasn’t right.

He didn’t go too far because the man didn’t run very far. At a flat plain, he started to roll around on the ground. He looked particularly miserable.

Jiang Yunhou pointed to his body, “He was scratching himself. He seems to be very itchy but that reaction of his was too extreme.”

It was his first time seeing someone scratch themselves like that. Like he was crazy, he shouted while he scratched.

Chen Xingzhou said: “It might be a skin disease.”

Su Min however instinctively felt that something wasn’t right. He stood up and said: “Let’s go and see.”

Jiang Yunhuo jumped up: “Okay, I’ll take you there. Maybe that person hasn’t gone far yet and we can still make it.”

They all went over with him.

They were at a place halfway up the mountain. If they went down, it was a slope and then there was various fields planted with unknown vegetation.

A long and small trail could be seen going through them

At this moment, there was a person rolling around in the field next to that small trail. From where they stood, they could hear his cries. He seemed to be in a lot of pain.

He had his back facing Su Min and the others so they couldn’t see his expression.

Jiang Yunhuo whispered: “I didn’t expect so many people to come while I was gone. I wonder what’s going on?”

Uncle He and several men stood around him.

Seeing them like that, Su Min felt that things weren’t so simple. He quickly said: “Find a place to hide.”

If they were discovered like this, they wouldn’t have a good outcome.

Fortunately, despite this island not having many things, it had many trees, grass and rocks. There were also standing at the top, so they had a geographical advantage. As long as Uncle He doesn’t look up and doesn’t look too carefully, he wouldn’t see them.

Zhao Mingya said: “He looks like one of those madmen on TV.”

Rolling around the ground, he screamed nonstop.

Chen Yixin said: “I think he seems to be suffering from some sort of illness. He is probably feeling extreme pain throughout the body and he scratched away at it too much.”

She had seen something like this before. Every time it happened, several doctors and nurses would be needed to control it. They could only wait until the episode is over.

Jiang Yunhuo said: “He was like this when I saw him.”

Chen Xingzhou watched him for a while and suddenly remembered: “Su Min, is this the man we saw last night?”

His back view looked familiar.

Last night they had stared at the man’s back for about ten minutes. The memory whilst you’re in fear is usually several times better than usual.

Su Min thought about it: “If I’m not wrong, it is him.”

That man was still alive and well eating the toad so how did he become like this now?

He really didn’t expect this outcome.

Until now, no one attacked them in this movie, and they were only presented with question after question. No matter how you look at it, things weren’t right.

Zhao Mingya wondered: “Why aren’t they saving him?”

The moment she said that, the situation changed on the other end.

While that man rolled on the ground, Uncle and the others wanted to help but they eventually let go and stepped back.

Su Min felt that this action of theirs was very meaningful.

Why did they let go? Afraid of being infected? What illness does that man have to make him like this?

Before he could think more about this, the answer was revealed.

When the man rolled to face where they stood, they clearly saw multiple pustules over his body. Some of them had even ruptured open from his excessive scratching.

The entire surface of his skin looked like the bubbles on the surface of boiling water.

Chen Yixin stepped back, “That’s just too horrible……”

It was no wonder he was rolling around all over the place. It was itchy but he couldn’t scratch it and it looked like he would die any moment.

Every time he rolled around, several of them would rupture. The contents of the pustules would stain his clothes and leave faint residuals.

As a whole, it was both disgusting and strange.

Su Min thought of a strange possibility, “Could this be because he ate the toad?”

There was an old saying from his hometown that the elders would often say: Don’t hit a toad and never eat one.

Chen Xingzhou widened his eyes: “No way……..”

He had never heard that eating a toad would result in something like this.

Su Min said in a low voice: “What is not possible here?”

This is a horror movie. Anything can happen in a horror movie and even curses can work.

Jiang Yunhuo said: “Listen carefully and see if you can hear what they’re saying.”

Uncle He was saying something over there and bits and pieces of his words were carried over by the sea breeze. They could vaguely make out a few words.

“……skin…….”

“I told you not to………..don’t scratch…….”

And finally, Uncle He said: “………Wait.”

When Su Min heard the last word, he intuitively felt that something bad was going to happen. What did he mean by wait?

To wait until the illness is over or to wait until he kills them?

Uncle He stood on the side looking coldly at the man rolling on the ground. He then looked up in a direction and left.

Zhao Mingya rubbed her arm, “Where was he looking?”

Su Min said in a cold voice: “The place where we’re staying.”

He could now be certain that it was about time for Uncle He to do something to them. With what happened to this man, it looks like things were going to happen ahead of time.

Chen Xingzhou said: “Then we should always be alert.”

If the entire village came over, the five of them wouldn’t be able to fight back.
