An Unusual Life Beginning with Evil Spirits-Chapter 142 : CNM!!!

Volume 4: High School Arc - “I” Come to Find You~
“Ahhh!!!”
I sat up from the bed with a jolt, an overwhelming terror occupying all my thoughts in that moment.
As I sat up, I couldn’t help but glance around…
“Ugh…”
A wave of dizziness surged through my mind, making me instinctively raise a hand to support my forehead.
“My… my hand… That’s right, I’m… Liu Yunyan?”
I’m… Liu Yunyan?
Wait, just now…
I turned to look at the somewhat messy bed and glanced at Sha Ha, who was looking at me with those sleepy and confused sky-blue eyes.
“Just now… was I dreaming?”
My brain felt like it was frozen—how could this be?
“Zhang Yang… Zhang Yang?”
Vague memories surfaced in my mind…
“Who is Zhang Yang… Why would I have such a dream?”
Just as I was thinking that, suddenly, a phone ringtone rang out.
The moment that familiar yet terrifying sound played, all the hair on my body stood on end!!
I turned my head immediately!!
Originally… that phone should’ve been powered off and locked in my drawer.
Yet there it was, sitting on my bedside table, just like usual, nothing seemed out of place.
But!!
Before I went to sleep, I clearly locked the phone in the drawer!!
And I had turned it off!!
Why… why is the phone here!?
This isn’t normal!!
Sha Ha is by my side, and so is Jiaoza!
No matter what kind of monster it is, they should’ve seen it!
But… if it wasn’t done by something strange… then how did the phone get out of the drawer?
Who…
Placed it on my bedside table!!!
I lowered my head and glanced at my watch.
The World Watch still displayed “Surface World,” and the three hands of the watch were now pointing precisely to…
Midnight!!
I grabbed the phone, and then… smashed it hard onto the ground!
‘Crack!’
With a crisp sound, the eight-thousand-yuan phone was shattered by my throw, and in an instant, the entire world fell silent.
“Huff… huff… huff…”
My heart pounded violently, as if it wanted to leap out of my throat.
My breathing had become rapid, and cold sweat dripped down from my forehead, landing on my chest.
It took nearly a full minute before my breathing finally stabilized.
The fear… made me pull Sha Ha into my arms.
Although she looked utterly confused, she didn’t resist and let me hold her.
“Huu…”
Finally, the sensation of terror faded a bit.
I didn’t know why… but the moment that ringtone played, something unspeakably horrifying seemed to appear in my mind, making me instinctively destroy the phone.
Was this… the feeling that Zhang Yang gave me?
“Is it… over?”
Holding Sha Ha in my arms, I scooted along the edge of the bed, wanting to take a look at the smashed phone.
At that moment, I was terrified something might suddenly jump out, and I had already prepared the Evil Spirit Form.
If anything unusual happened, I would immediately grab Sha Ha and leap out the window!
Below the balcony was the fish pond.
When I renovated the yard, I had specifically instructed for this, just in case I needed to jump out the window during an emergency.
And this was also the reason I didn’t choose the third floor.
After all, the pond was only two meters deep, and the third floor of the villa was nearly ten meters high.
If I jumped from the third floor, even with two meters of water, it would still be very dangerous.
Bit by bit, I scooted forward with Sha Ha in my arms.
The milky-white cashmere carpet gradually came into view.
The Evil Spirit Form had already started to faintly manifest behind me.
The Sha Ha in my arms was so frightened she didn’t dare to move.
But by now, I couldn’t care about that anymore.
All my attention was focused on the ground…
Finally… the cashmere carpet was fully revealed before my eyes, including the spot where the phone had landed after being smashed.
But!!!
There was nothing there!!
“I… I clearly…”
I clearly saw the phone break and fall right there!!
Just as I was searching for the phone, all of a sudden!!
A chilling sensation surged through my chest, and I whipped my head around!
‘Ding-ling～’
Unlike the ringtone I had set, it wasn’t the custom ringtone—it was the default ringtone that came with the phone!
And now… that ringtone was ringing again!
Right there… on the bedside table!!
In that instant, I had clearly grabbed the phone and smashed it hard to the ground, and yet… there was no sign of the shattered phone on the carpet now.
Instead… it was as if nothing had ever happened.
That phone!
Had clearly returned to the bedside table!!
I instinctively raised my left hand, and the hands of the watch came into view.
Midnight… twelve o’clock.
Time… had rewound?
Staring blankly at Sha Ha in my arms, I turned to glance at Jiaoza.
They… hadn’t reacted to the strange situation at all—everything was just as normal.
Yet… the abnormality was exactly that.
Staring at that still-ringing phone, I gritted my teeth again, grabbed the phone, and smashed it to the floor once more!!
This time, I stared unblinking at the phone.
I kept my gaze on it for over a minute—my eyes even began to sting. Then suddenly…
That eerie ringtone rang again!
And this time, the sound came from the same direction as before…
The bedside table!!!
I didn’t turn my head.
I ignored the ringtone and kept my eyes locked on the broken phone on the ground.
But then… faintly, I sensed that ringtone seemed to be…
Getting closer?
Yes!
The ringtone was approaching!!
While I was staring at the phone, the ringtone… was moving toward me!!
It was still on the bedside table—no… it had already reached the side.
That meant… the source of the ringtone was now at the head of the bed!!
The ringtone kept getting closer, and now Sha Ha in my arms had started getting restless.
I could see the fur on the back of her neck was standing completely upright!!
No… I can’t wait any longer!!!
I jerked my head around.
My Meitui 10+ was once again sitting perfectly intact before my eyes, and this time, it… had already reached my bed!!
The ringtone continued to play—it was still that familiar default ringtone.
On the screen, it was still that cursed number.
I slowly turned my head back and glanced at the floor…
The milky-white lambswool carpet had nothing on it.
Everything… felt like an illusion.
But the vivid realism of it told me—it couldn’t possibly be a hallucination.
What on earth… was happening?
This time, I picked up the phone again.
I turned and rushed to the window, flung it open, and hurled the phone out.
Then I turned around again.
The ringtone rang once more.
The phone, perfectly undamaged, was sitting on the bedside table.
Nothing had changed.
But…
My body had already started to tremble uncontrollably.
I slowly approached the bedside.
This time… I didn’t check the watch, nor did I throw the phone again.
Instead, I carefully reached out and picked it up.
“…Hello?”
I answered the call.
On the other end, there was a brief silence.
The slightly distorted, electronic sound quieted, and after a moment, a raspy, synthetic male voice came through the line:
“Six days from now… I’ll come find you…”
“?”
“CNM (F* your mother)!!!”
