Chapter 29: Handprints In The Bathroom
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
No matter how strong a person was, they wouldnât be able to stay at home if they knew a ghost had appeared in their house.
However, to get that red newspaper again, Yang Jian had to take the risk. After all, this was a chance for him to overcome the revival of the malicious ghost.
âIâll wait here for that thing and see if it will come back here again,â Yang Jian hesitated for a long time before he gritted his teeth and chose not to leave. He would wait at home for the ghost to come back.
Being fully aware that there was a ghost, he still dared to wait here for the ghost to come back.
This required a lot of courage.
Yang Jian had, of course, mustered up a ton of courage. He was determined to stay even if he died.
Even if he chose the easy way out now, it would only be a slow suicide.
Once the eyes in his body grew to a point where they could not be restrained, he would be like Zhou Zheng and would just face his doom.
While he was waiting for the ghost at home, in a high-end residential area in Dachang City.

In Wang Shanshanâs home.
She had not left the house since the day before yesterday. She had been hiding at home for the past two days because she realized that something was wrong with herself.
In the bathroom, the sound of water splashing could be heard.
Wang Shanshanâs eyes were filled with fear and a hint of madness. She held the brush that was used to clean the toilet floor and frantically scrubbed a spot on her neck while facing the mirror.
Her skin had turned red due to the excessive scrubbing.
Logically speaking, a normal person would not be able to endure this kind of pain.
However, Wang Shanshan did not seem to feel it. Instead, she increased the intensity of her scrubbing, and the expression in her eyes became more and more terrified.
Very soon, a piece of skin on her neck tore and blood spurted out.
The fresh blood flowed along with the warm water in the bathroom, dyeing the ground red.
However, no matter how much she scrubbed and no matter how much she bled, two small dark green handprints could still be clearly seen on the blood-stained skin. It was as if they had grown into the surrounding flesh and blood like birthmarks that were brought from the womb. There was no way to wash them away.
At this moment, Wang Shanshanâs mother, Wang Haiyan, sat on the sofa in the living room and looked at the time on her watch. A worried expression appeared on her face, âShanshan has been bathing for more than two hours, and she also took a shower in the morning⊠Could she be sick or something? Is she not feeling well?â
Wang Bin, Wang Shanshanâs father, also showed a worried look as he said, âSince she came back from school yesterday morning, there has been something wrong with her. She barely ate and locked herself in her room all day long⊠She even turned on all the lights in the house in broad daylight and was very afraid of the dark. And today, she has been showering all day. If this continues, Iâll bring her to the doctor tomorrow.â
âHubby, did you ask what happened at the school the night before last? I canât get through to the teacherâs phone,â Wang Haiyan said.
âI went to the school yesterday. Something has indeed happened there, and the place has been locked down. All the students were forced to take leave. As for when will the school reopen, weâll have to wait for the notice from the school⊠⊠On top of that, when I went, I met the parents of many students,â Wang Bin was smoking while frowning deeply, his expression somewhat solemn as he continued, âThe parents of the other students all said that their children didnât return home after the night self-study session the night before last. They have already gone missing, their phones canât be reached, and they canât be found. Itâs not a small number of students that have gone missing either.â
Wang Haiyan said in shock, âHow can this be?â
âSomething must have happened at school. We just donât know yet. I wanted to ask Shanshan, but I canât ask her about it now because Iâm afraid of putting pressure on her,â Wang bin put out the cigarette in his hand and said seriously, âShanshan must have experienced something. She seems like sheâs in fear now.â
Wang Haiyan guessed, âHubby, do you think Shanshan has met some bad people and was bullied?â
âAbsolutely not. This is a large-scale case of missing students. The school is hiding the truth. By the way, wasnât Shanshan sent back by her classmate yesterday morning?â Wang Bin Said.
âYes, Iâve met that classmate. His name is Yang Jian,â Wang Haiyan said.
âHe must know what happened to Shanshan. We should call that classmate of hers and ask,â said Wang Bin.
Wang Haiyan said, âIâve thought about it, but I donât know his number.â
But at that moment, Wang Shanshanâs hysterical scream came from the bathroom, âAh!â
Wang Bin and his wifeâs expressions immediately changed. They rushed to the bathroom door, but the door was locked and could not be opened.
âShanshan, open the door. What happened? Mom is outside,â Wang Haiyan asked anxiously while knocking on the bathroom door.
However, Wang Shanshanâs screams were still coming from the bathroom.
Wang bin felt that the situation was very serious. His expression changed and he did not bother to knock on the door as he directly slammed the bathroom door open.
With a loud âbangâ, the door was knocked open.
As the mother, Wang Haiyan rushed in first. When she saw that the bathroom floor was covered in blood, she was so scared that her face turned pale. Then, she saw her daughter curled up in the corner of the bathroom with blood continuously flowing out of her neck. Wang Shanshan was burying her head in fear, as if she was in a great shock.
âShanshan, what happened to you?â Wang Haiyanâs heart hurt so much for her daughter that she was about to cry.
âThat thing is here, itâs here, itâs right outside the window, itâs right outside the window⊠it has come looking for me,â Wang Shanshan said in extreme fear, âDonât, donât come over, donât come over.â
âWhat thing? Thereâs nothing outside the window. Shanshan, donât scare yourself,â Wang Haiyan glanced at the bathroom window but didnât find anything.
âNo, itâs outside the window. Itâs looking at me,â Wang Shanshan grabbed her motherâs arm and said in a panic, âYang Jian, I want Yang Jian. I want to go to Yang Jianâs house. I donât want to stay here anymore. Mom, I donât want to die. I donât want to die⊠Everyone is dead. Theyâre all dead. Su Lei, Zhao Yan, Liu Jiayi⊠theyâre all dead.â
âSob⊠I donât want to die,â As she spoke, Wang Shanshan buried herself in Wang Haiyanâs arms and cried bitterly.
âShanshan, itâs okay. Itâs okay. Youâll be fine. Youâll be fine. Mom is here,â Wang Haiyan cried as well while comforting her.
âThat thing has found me. Itâs outside the window. Itâs outside the window. Iâm going to die soon. SobâŠâ Wang Shanshan said
Wang Haiyan looked at the window again and said, âThereâs really nothing outside the window. Our house is on the sixteenth floor. Thereâs nothing outside. If you donât believe me, take a look.â
âMom, itâs really here. I want to go to Yang Jianâs house to stay. I donât want to die,â Wang Shanshan was still repeating herself and crying. Her whole body was trembling.
At this time, Wang Bin was silent for a while before he said, âTake Shanshan back to her room and help her put on some clothes. Weâll go to the clinic downstairs to bandage her wound. Iâll think of a way to look for Yang Jian to ask about the situation tomorrow.â
Wang Haiyan nodded. She helped Wang Shanshan out of the bathroom.
After the mother and daughter left, Wang Bin turned off the hot water in the bathroom and washed the bloodstains on the floor.
When he was about to leave, he abruptly glanced at the bathroom window.
The window was closed.
Wang Bin stuck his head out after opening it and looked to see if there was really something outside.
His family lived on the 16th floor, so how could there be something outside?
Sure enough, Wang Bin didnât see anything.
However, just as he was about to close the window, he was stunned.
The window was covered with a layer of water vapor, and there was a clear handprint on it.
The handprint looked very small, and it was not an adultâs. It looked like the handprint of a four or five-year-old child.
Moreover, the handprints extended all the way from the window to the interior of the bathroom.
On the bathroom walls that were full of vapor and even on the ceiling, there were handprints. That was a place that Shanshan could not reach.
The small handprints were densely packed. They were clearly visible.
Wang Binâs heart trembled. He felt that something was very wrong.
Tonight, Wang Shanshanâs family did not sleep at all.
Zhang Wei was also awake.
He had just returned home from outside.
His father, Zhang Xiangui, thought that he had done something bad, so after he returned home, he had given him a beating. His father had also disallowed him from going back to his room to sleep.
Zhang Wei stood on the balcony and looked outside. He frowned and thought about it all night.
Who was it⊠that framed him?
