Chapter 325: Chapter 276 Ugly Girl (Part 2) (4000 words)

“Mengmeng, Mengmeng?”

Second Aunt Wang frowned as she stood at the entrance of the living room. Behind her was a round table, loaded with lavish dishes that were now lacking steam and felt chillingly cold.

Second Aunt Wang was astonished. She had waited outside until it was dark, and her husband, along with two others, hadn’t returned. The other neighbors had dispersed, so she and her daughter had to wait inside.

Mengmeng had said she was hungry, and, fearing her daughter might get too hungry, Second Aunt Wang had scooped a small bowl of rice for her.

Mengmeng was sitting on the sofa and mentioned needing to use the restroom. Second Aunt Wang agreed, busying herself with adding dishes to Mengmeng’s bowl, while Mengmeng went to the bathroom alone.

The bathroom wasn’t inside the living room but had to be reached by going out the back door of the living room and towards the corridor near the bedroom.

In suburban areas like this one, the layout of self-built houses often lacked consideration, convenience frequently ignored.

By the time Second Aunt Wang had finished preparing the food and placed it on the coffee table in front of the sofa, Mengmeng hadn’t returned.

She waited, thinking Mengmeng might have gone for a number two, but the sky outside had darkened. Besides, with the arrival of the exorcist, Yan Junze, to eliminate the strangenesses today, whether it was suggestion or something else, she couldn’t help but feel jumpy and nervous.

After sitting for two minutes and checking the time on her phone, Second Aunt Wang put it back on the coffee table and stood up to move through the back door of the living room towards the corridor that led to the bathroom.

In the corridor lit by motion-sensing lights, Second Aunt Wang suddenly froze, staring straight at the bathroom near the bedroom door.

The bathroom door was wide open, yet it was empty.

Her heartbeat quickened as she flung open each bedroom door and flicked on the lights, but there was no sign of Mengmeng. She then rushed to the backyard to check upstairs, where two other families rented. Only the third floor was lit; the second-floor tenants hadn’t returned, and their place was shrouded in darkness.

In a panic, Second Aunt Wang began calling out Mengmeng’s name loudly and rushed through the living room towards the front courtyard.

She turned on the lights in the courtyard but still no sight of anyone.

Second Aunt Wang wandered over to the street, looking left and right. There were no streetlights here; the area at night relied solely on the light spilling out from each household, dimly illuminating the surroundings.

After scanning the area and seeing nothing, she called out for Mengmeng a few more times.

The man from the house across the street, hearing her, came out and yelled, “Sister Qiu, what’s going on?”

“My Mengmeng’s gone missing,” said Second Aunt Wang. “Did she go to your place? Is she playing with He?”

“No,” the man shook his head. “He is having dinner and we haven’t seen Mengmeng. Keep looking. Do you need help?”

“No need,” Second Aunt Wang gestured with her hand, feeling increasingly anxious, and turned back towards the house.

As soon as she entered the living room, she was struck with stupefaction. There was Wang Mengmeng, sitting perfectly on the sofa, exactly where she’d been earlier, as if she had never left.

Mengmeng was now slightly tilting her head down, her sparse, long hair falling around her cheeks, seemingly staring at the bowl and chopsticks laid out on the coffee table, not eating, just quietly looking.

The small bowl was filled with rice topped with some of Mengmeng’s favorite dishes, and the chopsticks were set aside.

Seeing this scene, Second Aunt Wang, who had been disturbed by the strangenesses recently, immediately became alert. After the initial shock, she didn’t dare to call out to Mengmeng. Standing at the entrance of the living room, she felt fearful, but was even more afraid something had happened to her child.

Mengmeng made no response and also didn’t look up at her mother.

Just as Second Aunt Wang could no longer bear it and was about to call out to Mengmeng, the child slowly stretched out her hand, reaching forward to seize the chopsticks.

“Mengmeng, if you’re hungry, eat up. Don’t starve yourself,” Second Aunt Wang saw this and felt relief, thinking everything must be alright with her child.

But then, Mengmeng took the chopsticks and slowly inserted them straight into the bowl filled with rice and dishes.

Second Aunt Wang’s eyes widened in disbelief. She knew that inserting chopsticks like that was done only when offering food to the deceased. Then Mengmeng withdrew her hand, still staring ahead, showing no intention of touching the food.

“Mengmeng…”

Second Aunt Wang’s voice was shaking violently. As she called out, Mengmeng remained unresponsive, but suddenly the phone on the coffee table began to ring, breaking the silence and tension in the room.

From the entrance, Second Aunt Wang couldn’t see who was calling on the phone. She glanced at Mengmeng and then took a couple of steps forward, intending to get closer to the coffee table.

That’s when Mengmeng lifted her head, twisting her neck stiffly to look at her.

Second Aunt Wang recoiled in fright and immediately halted, not daring to come any closer.

Mengmeng then grabbed her hair and yanked it forcibly before stuffing it into her mouth to chew. Before even swallowing, she pulled out another handful and crammed it into her mouth.

“Mengmeng, stop it!”

Terrified, Second Aunt Wang didn’t hesitate anymore and rushed over, seizing Mengmeng’s arms to prevent her from pulling out more hair and eating it.

Regardless of her own fear, Second Aunt Wang had to stop Mengmeng from hurting herself.

Mengmeng suddenly lunged into Second Aunt Wang’s arms. Clenching her teeth tightly, Second Aunt Wang didn’t flinch. Instead, she hugged Mengmeng firmly, gripping her arms while speaking in terror, “Mengmeng, stop moving, Mommy is here, Mommy is here…”
