Chapter 187 Washing Hair

The driver's thoughts were interrupted by Lin Jue. He asked for another cigarette, put it in his mouth, and tried to light it with his lighter several times but failed. It was Lin Jue who brought the light closer.

The driver refilled his cigarette and continued, "I watched him walk up to the building next to my house before I dared to hand over the car."

"That night was normal, but the weird thing happened the next night."

"I live in a very old walk-up apartment complex. When I was going home that day, I heard a woman screaming from the building next door. How could I describe that sound..."

The uncle shook off the ash from his cigarette and frowned. He was thinking about what words to use to describe that sound.

"It was like seeing a giant flying cockroach, with its fangs and claws bared, flying towards your face. The scream was a hundred times more terrifying than that."

The uncle spoke in a very simple and easy-to-understand way, and even those who were not afraid of cockroaches couldn't help but shudder.

"That scream scared me to death. Ever since that scream, I've felt inexplicably gloomy. I always feel like something's going to happen."

"But after I got home, I cooked two dishes and drank two bottles of wine and forgot about it."

"Then I went to the bathroom to take a shower. While I was showering, I also washed my hair. As you know, when you wash your hair while standing, you usually tilt your head down. There was nothing strange when I flushed the water for the first time."

"But just as I was putting on the shampoo and lathering my hair, I felt a cool breeze on the back of my neck. It was so cold, like a freezer had been opened, and it gave me goose bumps all over my body."

At this point, the cigarette in the driver's hand fell onto the table. He hurriedly picked it up, put it to his mouth, took a big puff, and exhaled a puff of strong smoke.

"At the time I thought the toilet window was not closed and the wind was blowing in, so I didn't think much of it. But after I rinsed the bubbles clean, I realized something was wrong."

"If the window was open, then why was there no abnormality during the first flush with water, but there was wind during the second flush with bubbles?"

"I wiped the water off my face and looked toward the window next to me."

The uncle made a gesture of wiping his face, trying to regain his composure. His pupils gradually expanded as he muttered, "But the window is completely shut, not even a crack. How did the wind come from? Was there something on the ceiling blowing air into my neck while I was showering?"

There is a blind spot behind a person, but sometimes one can inexplicably "see" what is behind him, just like if someone is staring at you from behind, you can also sense the other person's gaze. So even if you can't see what is behind you, sometimes people have a foresight about what is happening behind them.

This kind of foresight often brings about terrifying associations. For example, when a person walks through a dark alley, he clearly knows that there is no one behind him, but he always associates that someone is following him.

"Actually, this can be explained scientifically. I happen to be a physics major," the female university student interrupted, explaining to everyone: "When a rapid flow of water hits relatively still air, it creates a pressure change within the air. This pressure difference causes the air to flow horizontally, forming wind."

“You can feel the wind next to a turbulent waterfall, but the wind is mostly blowing upwards.”

"That's enough." The driver interrupted the female university student's science lecture uncomfortably. "There are many things in this world that can't be explained by science. Do we have to explain science to a ghost?"

"If you want to talk about science, then why did you come to this village?" After being yelled at by the driver, the female college student shut up in disappointment.

The driver continued, "Anyway, I felt something at the time, but when I looked up, I saw nothing. I thought it was just my illusion."

"At that time, I was inexplicably nervous and scared. I quickly dried myself, put on my clothes, and started blow-drying my hair."

"The bathroom was so steamy that the mirror was foggy and I could only vaguely see my outline. I just blow-dried my hair in front of the mirror, just wanting to dry it quickly."

"But when I was blow-drying my hair, my hands kept moving the hairdryer, but in the mist, I found that the person in the mirror didn't move at all."

The driver's expression gradually collapsed, leaving only fear on his face: "I thought the mirror was too foggy and I was blurry."

"But something's really wrong. I'm clearly holding the hairdryer and drying my hair, but the person in the mirror is just standing there. Even in the thick fog I can still see the outline of the hairdryer, but I can't see it at all!"

"As the mist dissipated, I saw 'myself' in the mirror staring at me with bulging eyes. It even stretched out its hand, as if trying to grab me through the mirror!"

"I was completely terrified at the time. It took me a few seconds to react. I ran to a friend's house to stay overnight. I didn't dare go back for the next few days, not even to the bathroom."

After the uncle finished speaking, he breathed a long sigh of relief. Telling his experience seemed to ease his fear a little.

But these fears were shared by every audience member. The girls were scared until their faces turned pale, and even the relatively brave men had ugly expressions.

Compared with the experience of the man in the jacket, the driver's experience is more immersive, because except for people who travel frequently on business, ordinary people rarely stay in hotels for no reason.

But the uncle's experience happened at home. Who doesn't have a bathroom? Who doesn't shower and wash their hair? After washing their hair, they naturally blow-dry their hair in front of a mirror.

Whenever I go home and wash or blow-dry my hair, I will think of the uncle's experience. This kind of ghost story that is integrated into daily life is the scariest. Whenever I come to a similar scene and do similar things, I will feel creepy.

"Did anyone die? Did they have any strange expressions on their faces when they died, just like at the Golden Rose Hotel."

This is the question that Lin Jue cares about most. This question can directly prove whether his speculation about the shrine is wrong. He is not afraid of being suspected and asks it directly.

The driver did give him a suspicious look, but he still replied, "I didn't dare go back, but someone must have died. One day when I passed by, I saw the police cordoning off the neighborhood."

Although he didn't get a direct answer, Lin Jue thought his speculation should be correct. These shrines were the work of the mental hospital. Although he didn't know the purpose behind it, it was undeniable that as long as he was related to that hospital, it would be extremely dangerous.

Just like that school, a Gu breeding farm casually built by the dean is enough to deter many third-level strongmen. Even if Chen Fu goes in, he may die in it.
