An Unusual Life Beginning with Evil Spirits-Chapter 174 : I Want to Eat♂You

Volume 4: High School Arc - “I” Come to Find You~
The next second, my consciousness abruptly returned to my body, and I was once again sitting in front of the computer.
My hand was pressing the dial button, calling the last two remaining people.
At the same time, I opened my mouth.
Two different voices traveled through two different phone lines.
"I'll come find you tomorrow."
"I'll come find you in two days."
Hehehe!
Hahahahaha!!
Liu Yunyan, I’m looking forward to the moment I eat you.
However… just as I was thinking that in my mind, a voice suddenly came from behind me.
"I'll come find you in two days."
That voice… in the pitch-black, silent room, was so striking!!
This… how could this be!!
My voice… actually echoed in the room!?!
Two… two days!?
Wasn’t that what I said to Liu Yunyan?!
Why… why was it echoing in my room!?
Terror surged in my heart, a chill enveloped my entire body.
Behind me… that breathing sound…
Who is it!!!
At that very moment, a woman’s clear yet chilling voice came from behind.
"Are you… looking for me?"
---
"We have to get to Wang Ding’s door. The moment I return, we rush in!"
As I said this, I paused briefly and explained the remaining speculation.
"If Wang Ding really is that monster, then at that exact moment, he will definitely call me. At that time, I’ll catch him red-handed. Whether Wang Ding is human or ghost, it’ll all be clear."
"These are all security doors. Are you sure you can break in?"
Jiang Yulong frowned.
"Yeah."
I was clear about my own ability.
As long as I could confirm it was him at that moment, I could catch him in the act!
Next, just as I had calculated, I arrived at Wang Ding’s door.
By now, I didn’t care about things like surveillance cameras anymore.
Standing at the door, I waited silently for the time to arrive, and as I expected—
At that moment, I once again experienced fear.
This time… it even surpassed the previous few.
That endless, looping terror almost drove me to despair.
But just before dying, in that instant, I returned to my body once again.
Without any hesitation, I turned and unlocked the door.
Using my Evil Spirit Form’s arm, I enveloped the lock core, making no sound as I entered the bedroom of the unit.
In the pitch-black bedroom, only the monitor was still emitting a faint glow.
Right in front of the monitor, a man wearing only underwear was sitting there.
The twisted, ferocious grin on his face and his motion of picking up the phone made me almost certain it was him!
I wrapped the phone in the Evil Spirit Form, blocking the ringtone from sounding, and then connected the call.
"I'll come find you in two days…"
Wang Ding’s voice and the one from the call—though slightly different—matched completely!
The moment the voice echoed in the room, Wang Ding froze entirely.
"Are you… looking for me?"
Watching Wang Ding’s body tremble violently, he slowly turned his head, squinting as he tried to peer into the darkness.
I guessed he probably couldn’t see very well, so I took a step forward and walked out from the shadows.
"You… you… who are you!!!"
Terror filled Wang Ding’s voice, but… I didn’t answer him.
I just slowly closed my eyes and relaxed my body.
Then, reflected in Wang Ding’s pupils, was a massive black shadow.
A mouth full of a strong, bloody stench.
As expected, in the end, I only managed to eat a bite of Wang Ding’s soul.
This guy, the moment I bit into his soul, it immediately detached from his body and left this world.
It was my first time seeing a soul enter the Inner World from the Surface World.
His soul, with ferocity and terror, tore a gap straight through the Surface World.
At that moment, I clearly sensed that I could follow him in.
But I gave up.
I wasn’t sure if I’d be able to come out again after entering the Inner World.
Also, I could feel the terror of the Inner World, and at the same time, I heard Wang Ding’s screams echoing inside.
His soul… was devoured by something in the Inner World.
Later on, cleaning up this situation turned out to be a hassle.
We first left that place.
I told Jiang Yulong not to get involved anymore; I could take care of the rest.
Though Jiang Yulong was puzzled, he didn’t say much and just drove off.
As for me, I rented a private room in a nearby internet café and waited until six in the morning.
At 6:00 a.m., I used the Evil Spirit Form to directly enter Wang Ding’s soulless body and wrote out his murder plan on the computer.
Of course, I didn’t write too many details.
After all, many things couldn’t be explained with the laws of physics.
I just wrote why he killed.
Then, I controlled his body and took everything needed for work.
Since I was inside someone else’s body, my Evil Spirit Form technically didn’t leave a physical vessel—however… this flesh didn’t just feel awkward.
At the same time, I could feel my Evil Spirit Form…
Was devouring his life force.
That’s right.
It felt completely different from being in Liu Yunyan’s body.
In Liu Yunyan’s body, the soul and the flesh were equal entities, mutually supplementing and completing each other.
But in Wang Ding’s body, I felt that the Evil Spirit Form and the body were in a state of "predator and prey".
The Evil Spirit Form was absorbing the life force of this body.
His cells were rapidly dividing and dying.
At this rate… if I kept possessing it, the body might not even survive for a year.
Could it be that… after Liu Yunyan’s body dies, I’ll have to live like this?
Devouring others’ souls, entering their bodies, living for a year, then switching again?
And on top of that, having to endure this stiff feeling of the flesh?
Helplessly bringing the body downstairs, my goal was simple: to make Wang Ding’s death appear reasonable.
Then, I walked to just ahead of the bus stop.
Wang Ding’s family wasn’t wealthy, and he didn’t own a car, so he took the bus every day—this I already knew from my investigation.
So, I came to the bus stop.
Walking slightly ahead was to ensure that Wang Ding died cleanly.
Though it might not be very kind to the bus driver, I couldn’t afford to care about that now.
Watching the bus approach from afar, I seized the opportunity.
A split second before the bus began to brake, I controlled the body and rushed under it.
At that exact moment, the Evil Spirit Form shot out and made a slight adjustment to Wang Ding’s body, aligning his head with the wheel.
What followed was… rather too gruesome to look at.
There was a small child by the roadside, and before the bus even rolled over Wang Ding’s body, he started crying.
Because reflected in his pupils… was the shadow of the Evil Spirit Form.
I’d always been curious about how children had sharper senses than adults, so I moved closer to examine.
Just then, his mother picked him up to soothe him.
At that moment, from the child’s pupils, the woman saw the enormous black silhouette.
Then… the woman whipped her head around.
But she couldn’t see me at all.
Still, I couldn’t stay there any longer, or I’d truly scare this woman out of her wits.
I quickly left, and the child’s eyes kept following me.
That woman… seemed to see something too, and collapsed to the ground in fright.
But I couldn’t worry about all that anymore, and hurried back to the body still lying in the internet café’s private booth.
Glancing at the time, I had wasted nearly half an hour just to make Wang Ding’s death appear normal.
"Tch… better get back quickly. If I’m any later, I might get found out!"
