Chapter 15 Why Can't We Just Live in Peace?

The night was hazy. In the bedroom, Doctor Lin, who had just been crying alone, was lying on her side on the bed, her willow eyebrows slightly furrowed. She had fallen asleep, but between her brows, there seemed to be a black halo shrouding her.

She didn't want to sleep, but she had to.

Her sister didn't want the following events to disturb her.

In the bathroom next door, Zhou Ze continued to hold the towel.

The sister-in-law tilted her head, standing straight, and continued to stare at him.

The artistic style,

seemed to freeze at this moment, and it was so heavy that the ink on the ink painting seemed to be dripping out.

Zhou Ze never thought it would be her, really never thought about it.

In Zhou Ze's eyes, she was just an inexperienced child, with a bit of arrogance and innocence. Moreover, she had previously been in this bathroom when she opened the door and bumped into him suffering from the backlash of saving someone at the hospital, and she was directly scared into wetting herself.

If this was also a kind of acting,

it was too much.

Moreover, the reason she said seemed very valid, but in fact, it was very far-fetched. Of course, some people's brains might be so strange and unique.

She only had her own independent worldview, only cared about her own feelings, and only experienced the right and wrong that she recognized.

This world,

whether there were seven billion people or only one person, made no difference to her.

The sister-in-law started to walk forward.

Zhou Ze was a gift she gave to her sister, a gift to make her sister happy. But now, this gift made her sister even more sad.

As a gift, he was not qualified.

Unqualified things

should be discarded,

should be destroyed,

he no longer needed to exist.

Zhou Ze put down the towel, and black fingernails slowly grew out from between his fingers.

"Buzz!"

A tremor came.

Zhou Ze only felt a sharp pain in his eardrums, and his vision was blurred. Then, that tilted face appeared in front of him.

She looked at him with her head tilted, with the innocence of a girl, and the remaining childish cuteness.

"Pa!"

The clothes on his chest ripped open, and Zhou Ze flew backward, smashing the mirror behind him. A bloody wound appeared on his chest, and blood gurgled out.

"Why can't we just live in peace?"

The sister-in-law muttered to herself,

and then,

there was another crisp sound on Zhou Ze's body. If Zhou Ze hadn't subconsciously turned his body, his neck might have been broken, but even so, a clear cut appeared on his neck.

"Why can't we just be together?"

The sister-in-law smiled,

she seemed to be asking Zhou Ze,

and she seemed to be asking herself,

but the essence was the same,

that was, she was not prepared to receive any answer at all.

"Are you a ghost messenger?" Zhou Ze couldn't understand, "If you are a ghost messenger, how can you kill so many people at will?"

The sister-in-law ignored him, her smile only becoming more intense.

Zhou Ze's pupils shrank, and his body flipped forward. The washbasin and all the glass in the bathroom shattered at this moment.

"Pa!"

All around, shards of glass shot out, making this narrow bathroom suddenly beautiful.

Bloody threads flew,

glazed tiles flickered,

it was a perfect location for taking wedding photos,

as long as the bride wasn't afraid of being disfigured.

"Why do you people have so many problems?"

The sister-in-law raised her hand,

and at this moment,

Zhou Ze's hand also reached over,

the sharp black fingernails directly piercing the sister-in-law's palm.

However, the originally sharp fingernails suddenly turned into "softness around the fingers." The skin on the sister-in-law's palm was delicate, and Zhou Ze's fingernails couldn't pierce it at all.

"Can't you just let me worry less?"

The sister-in-law grabbed his fingers, and to outsiders, it looked like she was holding Zhou Ze's hands tightly.

Then,

Zhou Ze felt a heart-wrenching pain,

ten fingers connected to the heart,

and now Zhou Ze's fingernails were slowly peeling off, as if someone was using pliers to pull out his fingernails. The pain that was connected to the depths of his soul was even more despairing, completely exceeding the limits of physical torture.

All along, the fingernails that had always been invincible for Zhou Ze completely lost their former power in front of the sister-in-law.

The smile on the sister-in-law's mouth became even stronger,

"You're actually using what I gave you to deal with me?"

The next moment,

black fingernails also grew out of the sister-in-law's fingertips, and directly pierced into Zhou Ze's palm.

First, the pain of the fingernails peeling away from the body, followed by the torture of his own body being pierced by fingernails,

this kind of punishment that he had previously inflicted on others was now falling on Zhou Ze himself for the first time.

"I'm not wrong, you're the ones who are wrong."

The sister-in-law continued to mutter to herself, and then pushed Zhou Ze forward.

"Why not live a good life?"

"Buzz!"

Zhou Ze was sent flying out, crashing into the wall. The five fingers on his right hand were bloody, the flesh was torn, and there were five nail holes that were shocking to see.

"I put so much effort into it, why can't you people just live...a good life?"

The sister-in-law kept asking herself,

like a curious baby,

but her image at this time was really not cute at all.

"Crack..."

The sister-in-law raised her arm,

she was still half a meter away from Zhou Ze,

but Zhou Ze felt as if a hand had already grabbed his neck, lifting him up. The stinging and burning sensation in his neck was so clear, and he could no longer breathe.

His feet were off the ground, and he was like a prisoner on a pyre, waiting for the judgment of fate in front of him.

Tilting her head,

smiling,

"Who gave you the courage to still dare to question me after knowing the shadow behind things?

You are just a puppet under my control,

who gave you the illusion that you can resist?"

"Ugh...ugh..."

Zhou Ze wanted to make some sounds, wanted to speak, but because his neck was tightly choked, Zhou Ze couldn't make any clear syllables.

As a death row prisoner,

you have even been deprived of the right to a last word.

The sister-in-law was asking questions, but she didn't give you the right to answer.

"Lin Yi, I tried my best, but this game is really not that fun."

The sister-in-law muttered to herself,

and then,

she changed to another direction,

continuing,

tilting her head.

"Your sister is still unhappy, your sister is so annoying."

Then,

she tilted her head in another direction again,

"After we kill him, we'll kill your sister too, and we won't have any worries,

right?"

Zhou Ze only felt the strength in his neck suddenly increase,

that terrifying feeling of suffocation swept over him,

his lungs burned, almost exploding.

His eyes began to turn white, and the spasms in his body could no longer be controlled. This was a sign of impending death, a prelude to the body completely succumbing to death.

The sister-in-law in front of him kept tilting her head ninety degrees in different directions, talking to herself, as if she was communicating with another person.

Just like two little girls with Peppa Pig backpacks standing in front of a claw machine,

discussing which doll to grab,

which doll is easy to grab,

which doll looks cuter,

"Cough...cough..."

A cough came,

the sister-in-law raised her head in surprise, looking at Zhou Ze above,

she was a little surprised,

he wasn't dead yet?

Then,

the smile on her face slowly solidified,

"What's wrong with you?"

Yes,

what's wrong with you?

Zhou Ze's eyes began to glow green, and the bronze luster on his body began to slowly spread out. The broken fingernails on his right hand actually grew back.

This time, they weren't as black as before, but they revealed a sense of time and vicissitudes.

Zhou Ze's lips opened,

and two fangs slowly emerged,

green face and fangs,

sinister and terrifying, with an aura that was hated by both humans and ghosts.

The force that had been binding Zhou Ze's neck suddenly dissipated at this moment. Zhou Ze slowly landed, squatted down, supported himself with one hand on the broken tiles, and then slowly raised his head.

Those eerie green eyes stared at the tilted-headed sister-in-law in front of him.

"What does this mean?"

"What's going on?"

She was confused,

because the toy she had created, or rather the gift she had personally chosen and packaged for her sister, had unexpectedly undergone a change.

A change that she had not anticipated.

"Ah..."

A hoarse voice came from Zhou Ze's throat. He slowly spread his arms out, and his whole body slowly stood up.

Very slowly,

but very firmly,

just like last time,

half of Zhou Ze's skin showed a bronze color, while most of the other half began to break and crack, and blood slowly flowed out.

The tilted-headed sister-in-law watched Zhou Ze walk towards her step by step,

she was a little confused,

and a little at a loss,

"Are you Zhou Ze?"

This time, the sister-in-law needed Zhou Ze to answer,

but now, Zhou Ze was too lazy to give her any answer.

The sister-in-law reached out her hand, but this time Zhou Ze was not sent flying out. He still walked steadily step by step,

just like that,

he walked in front of her.

The sister-in-law's fingernails pierced Zhou Ze's body,

"Pfft!"

The fingernails pierced in,

however,

the moment the fingernails pierced into the skin, the muscles at the wound instantly contracted, firmly fixing the sister-in-law's fingernails inside.

She wanted to pull them out,

but she couldn't pull them out at all,

as if countless small mouths were sucking on her fingernails inside,

very tight,

very suppressed.

The sister-in-law looked at Zhou Ze, at those green eyes. A look of understanding appeared on her face, and she murmured:

"You...you were already dead before..."

And Zhou Ze reached out,

grabbing the sister-in-law's head,

the sister-in-law wanted to resist, but she couldn't resist.

"Crack, crack..."

Like the sound of bones slowly moving and rubbing,

Zhou Ze's hand grabbed the sister-in-law's head,

without crushing it,

without piercing it,

but slowly turning her tilted face,

back to normal.

Phew,

her face was straight,

it looked,

much more comfortable.
