ATFBETIBM Chapter 577

The group subconsciously imagined Ran Jingjing’s description and shuddered in unison.

When I opened my eyes, I saw a comfortable bed at first, but when I turned my head, I saw my best friend’s head beside me. It was terrifying just thinking about it.

Ran Jingjing seemed unaware of this eerie atmosphere and continued her description.

“At that time, there was a blanket on top of us, covering us up to our necks.”

“When I turned my head, Xiaohua’s head was on the pillow so I thought she was just sleeping.”

“So I called out to her, ‘Xiaohua, Xiaohua.'”

“But there was no response.”

“So I propped myself up on the bed, and the blanket slipped down as a result. I watched in horror as the blanket moved away from Xiaohua’s neck, but there was nothing underneath Xiaohua’s neck.”

Upon hearing this, Wang Tou remained relatively calm, but Mrs. Shen and Mr. Li Chongming couldn’t hold it together.

Seeing their expressions, Ran Jingjing smiled stiffly, “At that time, I was almost like you all now. I was so scared that I immediately started crying. But I didn’t scream, instead, I covered my mouth tightly. I thought someone had killed Xiaohua and imprisoned us. I couldn’t scream because if I made a sound, it would reveal my fear to the murderer.”

“But I soon realized something was wrong. When I covered my mouth with my hand, I realized it wasn’t my hand- it was Xiaohua’s hand.”

“Xiaohua was really beautiful, not only with a beautiful face but also a beautiful body. When we were together, I often played with her hands. I was so familiar with her hands.”

“I couldn’t believe it. I lowered my head and carefully examined my ‘hands’. Long, slender joints, pearly nails like seashells, and a delicate touch, these were definitely not my hands; they were Xiaohua’s hands. I went crazy and threw off the blanket, and discovered that not only my hands were Xiaohua’s, but my arms and chest were Xiaohua’s. I thought I was dreaming so I tried to get out of bed to see what was going on, but as soon as I left the bed, I knew that it wasn’t just a dream.”

“At that moment, I noticed there was a letter by the bedside. It was clearly meant for me, so I opened it.”

“It was Xiaohua’s farewell letter to me.”

“Xiaohua said she was deeply guilty and deserved all the harm she had suffered. She didn’t want to live anymore but wanted to leave me something. She said that although she was a disaster, she had a healthy body that could stay forever young and beautiful, so she gave me what she thought was the best body. She said I would have endless energy once I had this body.”

“And that’s exactly how it turned out.”

Bai Lixin: “Including the ability to see the dead?”

Ran Jingjing smiled bitterly, “I really can’t hide anything from you.”

“Seeing the dead?” Mrs. Shen’s mouth opened wide. “Huh, could it be that the psychic master…?”

Ran Jingjing: “I am the psychic master.”

Mrs. Shen: “Ah?!”

Ran Jingjing suddenly narrowed her eyes, “Bai Lixin, if only I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have let you go.”

Bai Lixin smiled, “The world is always short of those ‘if only’.”

“But still, thank you.”

Ran Jingjing sighed heavily, “Forget it, no need to thank me. I had three chances to kill you, but you managed to survive each time. It’s all fate and your good luck.”

In the live broadcast room

[The sun rose from the west today. I actually heard someone praising God Xin’s ‘good luck’.]

[Who would’ve thought that God Xin also has his lucky days.]

[God Xin: Seize the bamboo shoots.]

[Su Xiaohua was quite crazy. She wanted to leave something good for her sister before she died. Her own body was the best, so she simply gave it to her sister. Ah, what kind of sisterly love is this? I love you; since I’m gone, let my body be with you forever?]

[Can Su Xiaohua, who spawned so many abnormal personalities, not be crazy? I thought Su Xiaohua was the most pitiful person, but it turns out the clown is me.]

[I don’t blame you. Anyone who saw this evidence would instinctively think Su Xiaohua was the victim.]

[And we can’t use normal people’s logic to analyze Su Xiaohua’s thoughts and behavior. She not only has a paranoid schizophrenic personality, but also has a tendency to self-abuse and self-mutilation. In her inner world, the person those dark personalities harm is none other than herself. It can only be said that Su Xiaohua is a very contradictory individual. She received a traditional family education and has the logical outlook of a normal person. At the same time, she questions and rejects these shackles in her heart and blackens. After that, due to her kindness, she cannot harm others and can only harm herself.]

[And it’s not just because of kindness. Some mental patients who engage in self-injury derive some kind of pleasure from pain, which stimulates their thinking and actions, making them more obsessed with pain, eventually evolving into pathological behavior of self-harm. Su Xiaohua is very likely to be engaging in self-mutilation in reality.]

[Ah… so pitiful.]

[Yeah, it’s really pitiful. It’s so painful to constantly consume yourself mentally. Thinking about it, although Little Overlord has a bad personality towards others, he’s really good to himself. He only consumes others mentally and never consumes himself.]

[Tsk, brother, whitewashing isn’t trendy now.]

[Haha, sorry, sorry, I got carried away.]

Bai Lixin: “What happened next?”

Ran Jingjing: “After that, everything was in the small wooden house, as if it had been prepared for me from the beginning. I lived and ate in the cabin with Xiaohua for a while.”

“When I finally gathered my courage to leave, I thought a long time had passed outside, but it had only been one day.”

“I waited quietly, waiting for someone to notice Xiaohua was missing. Ironically and sadly, I waited for a month, and no one noticed Xiaohua was gone. The landlord of the rented house was indifferent, and Cao Ji’an, that coward, hid away. Even Xiaohua’s parents just thought she was still studying at school, and didn’t notice anything unusual.”

“It was then that I suddenly realized, even if I had reported Xiaohua missing to the police at that time, without any evidence, Cao Ji’an wouldn’t have faced legal consequences. He would have gone on to escape justice. Why? Because he had a powerful sister and a wealthy father. They had the means to absolve Cao Ji’an of any blame, but what about Xiaohua? I felt it was unfair to Xiaohua and I wanted Cao Ji’an to pay for what he’d done.”

“So I did something that betrayed Xiaohua. I harmed the most precious gift she had given me.”

“I couldn’t bear to send Xiaohua’s head as evidence and have it treated as an exhibit, so I cut off a leg.”

“But Xiaohua’s body is really miraculous. Despite missing a leg, I didn’t feel any pain. The wound healed quickly, and even the cross-section was smooth, without leaving any scars.”

“I quickly learned to use a prosthetic leg and buried the severed limb and the tools Cao Ji’an used in the garden.”

“Fearing they wouldn’t be found, I pretended to pass by and told the sanitation workers that there was trash in the flowerbed. Xiaohua’s severed leg was finally discovered.”

Everyone: “…”

It turns out the severed leg in the garden was also Ran Jingjing’s doing.

“During that month of waiting, I didn’t just sit idle. I found a way to handle all the videos Li Chongming had taken of Xiaohua. I stole what I could and deleted what I couldn’t. I watched the stolen videos, so I knew better how deep Cao Ji’an and Cao Jiyun’s guilt was. I also learned what Su Hong and his wife did to Xiaohua.”

“Everything went as I expected. The police traced the clues on the crime tools and found Cao Jian. But I was too young at the time and underestimated their abilities. In the end, Cao Jian was only sent to prison for intentional harm.”

“Since that’s the case, I took down the entire Cao family. They are all incarnations of evil anyway, and there was nothing sympathetic about them.”

“First, I found the loopholes, destroyed the Cao family business, then it was Cao Jiyun’s turn.”

“The unfortunate always have their hateful side. Look at how miserable Cao Jiyun lives now, but you didn’t see how arrogant she was when facing our poor Xiaohua back then. Heh, what I’m doing to her now is just what she did to others before. I’m simply treating her the way she treated others.”

“I later discovered I had acquired psychic abilities. I guess it was because of Xiaohua’s body.”

“With psychic abilities, instead of rushing to take action, I practiced how to use these powers skillfully. When I felt ready, it was time for revenge against the Su Hong family.”

“I never thought of killing Su Hong directly, that would be too easy for him. I wanted him to live in constant fear. Didn’t they sacrifice Xiaohua’s future for the sake of their child’s future? I elevated their son high up, only to bring him crashing down hard. I commanded those souls with high intelligence to come to his son’s aid.”

Mrs. Shen: “Their child is innocent, right?”

“You’re right, their child is innocent.” Ran Jingjing nodded calmly. “But was Xiaohua at fault?”

“At the time, I told myself if their son refused the help of those ghosts, I would abandon the plan and not harm him. So when I asked those ghosts to appear, I made a deal with him. Accepting their help meant selling his soul to them, with interest to be collected in the future.”

“In the end, he accepted the help of those ghosts. From being afraid of them at the beginning, he later accepted it calmly. Initially, they only helped him cheat on exams, but later, he even learned to steal classmates’ projects.”

“He actually didn’t know anything. Those ghosts asked him to study, but he just wanted shortcuts. His appetite was growing more and more. He wanted to be the best in the school, so I will send him to the top in the school.. He wanted to be the top scorer in the country, so I positioned him there.”

“Finally, when the college entrance exam ended, I collected my interest.”

“I killed him.”

“Su Hong and Zhang Li’s world collapsed, but it wasn’t over yet.”

“I also killed Shen Shukuang.”

“I saw that Xiao Xin was another personality of Xiaohua, and I also saw Shen Shukuang’s morbid feelings towards Xiao Xin.”

“I couldn’t tolerate Shen Shukuang’s sickness or anyone blaspheming Xiaohua. In my eyes, his sins were the heaviest, so I killed him first.”

“Then, as Bai Lixin analyzed, I systematically executed my plan based on the degree of their wrongdoing.”

“Xiaohua isn’t dead, she’s still alive in reality. I want to save Xiaohua, so we can’t keep these personalities. Only one personality can survive, and that personality is Xiao Xin.”
