Chapter 48
Shaking, I clenched my fists tightly. Even if I had already become a soul, I was still terrified.
Suddenly, Rachel stopped in her tracks. When she saw the sight before her, she shuddered and turned pale. She turned around and vomited.
It was the biological reaction to seeing something so saddening and horrifying. It wasn’t that she found it disgusting.
There was a glass enclosure Inside the dark plt. It was lit up, making it seem like a cultural exhibit in a
museum.
I was
Inside the enclosure, she could see me hooked up to countless drips. I looked like a doll that deliberately placed there. My eyes were gouged out, and the murderer had covered my eyes with a red slip of cloth…
My skin was already deathly pale. I was dressed in a red strappy dress, and my legs were pinned to the platform.
Firefighters and doctors carefully opened the glass enclosure. Everyone let out a gasp when they saw
At that moment, my corpse looked like the most beautiful masterpiece on display…
Michael stood there with his gaze flickering. His eyes were filled with terror and mixed emotions.
I didn’t know what he was thinking at that moment. Even I… didn’t dare to take another look.
“That sicko… even pulled out her nails and inlaid them with crystals. Her earrings are also made of crystals, and her skin is encrusted with crystals… Everything Stephanie is wearing is priceless. Even this glass enclosure isn’t made of normal glass…
“The patient has a pulse! There are weak breath sounds!” the doctor yelled loudly, warning everyone to be careful with me.
I stared at the doctor in shock. There was a pulse? And breath sounds? What was the meaning of this?
I wasn’t dead?
“The culprit must have injected the victim with a huge amount of drugs. These are pretty much liquid nourishment tubes for sustaining life. The victim is unconscious, but there are still signs of life,” the doctor explained.
Rachel crumpled to the ground. Her emotions were all over the place. “Stephie… Save her, please. Zion, please save her. Doctor… please, please save her.”
She knelt on the ground and begged. Her body was quivering like a leaf.
She didn’t know who to beg so that I could survive.
“That man is a psycho… The victim can only lie in this position. If we move her.” The doctor sighed.
“No… Save her, please!” Rachel begged them tearfully
I stood there numbly and slowly closed my eyes
At that moment, I sort of understood why my soul hadn’t disappeared together with my body.
It was because I wasn’t truly dead.
After a long time, Michael finally uttered hoarsely, “Save her…”
Save her.
Those two words sounded like mockery.
His face was ashen. He took two steps forward stiffly, as though he wanted to make sure that the person inside the glass enclosure was indeed me.
“That bastard… I’m going to kill him.” Michael’s voice was hoarse and deep, like it was being ground
out.
