An Unusual Life Beginning with Evil Spirits-Chapter 150 : Head

Volume 4: High School Arc - “I” Come to Find You~
I also told my brother that I would be staying at Lili's place tonight.
Although he was puzzled, he didn’t say much.
After all, this had become a common occurrence for us.
Ever since the relocation two years ago, our homes were no longer right next to each other, but our bond hadn’t lessened—if anything, we’d grown even closer.
By the time we arrived at Lili’s house, we were already exhausted from messing around since 5 PM all the way until 9 PM.
Adding the fatigue from the day, we hurried to take showers as soon as we got back, then headed to Lili’s room to sleep.
Lili’s parents were naturally very welcoming to me.
The way they looked at me was as if they were seeing their own daughter, which warmed my heart and eased my fear a little.
The old couple even prepared some hangover soup for us.
After all, we had quite a bit to drink at the KTV, and the two of us were a bit tipsy when we came back.
After drinking the hangover soup and saying "Good night" to Uncle and Auntie, we finally went to Lili’s room.
Lying on Lili’s bed, the drowsiness made me close my eyes uncontrollably.
However... before falling asleep, I still habitually placed my phone by the pillow.
But to ensure I got a good night’s sleep, I shut my phone off entirely.
Lili tried to persuade me not to do that.
She even said she wanted to scold whoever was calling.
But I still thought it was better to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Maybe after shutting it off, the caller wouldn’t be able to prank me anymore.
With that thought, I lay down on the bed.
I chatted with Lili about some girly topics, and before I knew it, she had already fallen asleep.
She was sleeping on the outside tonight, while I was on the inside just like we usually did.
Lili always acted like an older sister, protecting me.
Looking at her slightly baby-fat cheeks, a sense of security rose in my heart.
Her sister-like presence made me feel calm inside.
She was sleeping soundly, and I couldn’t help but feel another wave of fatigue.
Whether it was the fear from those phone calls these past two days or the events of the entire day, it all made me slowly close my eyes.
The world... fell into darkness.
Before I slept, my eyes couldn’t help but glance at the phone screen that was already off, and deep in my heart I muttered:
"Please... don’t come again."
‘Ding ding ding~ ding ding ding~ ding ding ding~’
Half-asleep, I didn’t know what time it was, but a strange ringtone suddenly rang out.
Although unfamiliar, the moment it started ringing, an overwhelming fear surged into my heart!
Every hair on my body stood on end.
My face and scalp tingled with numbness.
I jolted awake and quickly turned my head to look at the phone that had been shut off...
Again...
It was happening again!!!
It was the same number!!
The same ringtone!!
They... they were back again!!
Terror made me forget where I was.
My mind went blank, and just as I was about to jump off the bed, I suddenly felt the warm body next to me.
And in that moment, the fear in my heart was cut by more than half.
I turned back and looked at that peaceful face with a hint of baby fat, and a sense of security surged within me.
"Lili?"
Looking at her face, I couldn’t help but feel amused.
The ringtone was so loud, and yet she was still asleep.
Turning my head again to look at the phone, I suddenly felt that something wasn’t right.
I remembered... I had shut the phone off before going to bed.
How could a call come through?
And... something else felt off.
Why did the blanket feel damp and clammy?
Lili... could she have...
Wet the bed?
"Pfft..."
At that thought, all my fear vanished in an instant.
The bright moonlight shone through the window and lit the room.
Strange... wasn’t the warm bedside lamp usually on?
"Power outage?"
Thinking that, I gave Lili a little push.
Who would've thought... Lili had this side of her too.
She actually wet the bed...
"Pfft..."
The more I thought about it, the more I wanted to laugh.
I pushed Lili again.
"Lili, Lili! Why are you sleeping so deeply?"
Just as I was thinking this, my hand reached out and touched her soft cheek.
But in that very moment!!!
That peaceful expression... was gently shifted by my touch.
That feeling… that feeling was as if… as if her head had no weight at all!!
“Li… Lili?”
For a moment, I couldn’t react.
Instinctively, I gave her a slight push with a bit more force.
The next second… terror surged through my heart!!
‘Gululululu—’
Accompanied by the sound of a flesh ball rolling and tumbling, Lili’s head… rolled down from the pillow and fell straight to the floor!
All of a sudden, it felt as if something had grabbed my heart tightly.
My breath… stopped completely!
Bathed in the soft moonlight, Lili’s peaceful sleeping face… still looked so serene and calm.
But… she… she!!!
Her neck and her head!
Se-pa-rated!!!
I froze completely in place, staring blankly at the ground… at that familiar sleeping face.
I wanted to open my mouth, I wanted to scream… but I was so terrified I couldn’t even make a sound. All I could do was let out choking noises.
“Ugh… ugh… ugh…”
Slowly lowering my head, I looked beneath the pillow, under the blanket, at the bulging shape there.
My hand… trembling, reached toward it.
‘Whoosh~’
The blanket was lifted.
A body… already mangled and drenched in blood… was revealed before my eyes!
“AAAHHHHHHHHH!!!”
That wasn’t someone wetting the bed… that was—that was blood!!!
Blood that had soaked through the sheets and mattress!!
That was… Lili’s blood!!
My eyes widened.
I could no longer contain the terror within.
I screamed and leapt off the bed, no longer caring about Lili’s… peaceful head lying on the floor!
I bolted for the door, then flung the bedroom door open with all my strength!
But… the moment I opened the door, everything blurred before my eyes.
When I opened them again, in front of me… was still that same bed sheet.
On the ground… was still that peaceful head!!
“AHHH—AHHHHHHHHH!!! AHHHHHHHHH!!!”
I didn’t know what to do anymore!
Everything that was happening had thrown me into total chaos!
Terrified tears streamed from my eyes.
I couldn’t care about anything else, couldn’t care about the blood all over me.
I fell to the floor, scrambling and crawling!!
And Lili’s… mangled corpse also tumbled to the ground with me due to my movement, landing with a wet thud.
Under the cold moonlight, that blood… looked so blindingly red!!
“AHH! AHHHHH!!”
I… I even forgot how to speak.
I wanted to call for help, but when I opened my mouth, only screams came out!!
Scrambling and crawling, I left a long trail of blood behind me as I made it to the door.
It took me several trembling attempts to finally twist the knob, and then…
Everything blurred again, and I was—
Back on the bed!
Under the blanket… I didn’t even need to check—it was the same as before…
Lili’s mangled corpse was still beneath it!!
“AHHHHHHH!! UGH!!! AHHHHHH!!!”
Screaming non-stop, I frantically jumped off the bed again, not even caring that I kicked Lili’s head, I dashed madly toward the bedroom door.
The moment I opened it—
I… was back on the bed again!
