Astrology Hall with Flesh and Blood

Chapter 48

Otherwise, how can you explain everything she saw?

After being cruelly disemboweled, how could Bai Feifei still be sitting here unharmed?

The bloody scene on the screen continued to unfold. Ah J skillfully wielded the knife, slowly and methodically slicing open Bai Feifei's abdomen; the splattering blood seemed commonplace to her. Without even blinking, she reached inside and gently pulled out Bai Feifei's intestines one by one. Then, she opened her eyes wide, staring almost reverently at the pile of bloody entrails.

Bai Feifei's legs were about to give way with fear. Her eyes unconsciously transmitted every cruel scene from last night, deeply implanting them into her mind. She covered her mouth, as if she could smell the thick stench of blood even through the monitor.

“Roundworms, roundworms, tell me,” Ah J muttered softly, “what does the White Queen want to do tomorrow?”

She tilted her ear, as if listening to some sound. Bai Feifei paused, then deliberately widened her ears as well, but she heard nothing. At that moment, Ah J suddenly chuckled:

"What a curious woman! Wouldn't a life of ignorance and contentment be better for her?"

There was no answer. No, perhaps the roundworms Ah J mentioned had already given her enough answer. So she began to tidy up Bai Feifei's messy stomach, cleaning out the intestines one by one and neatly putting them back into the abdominal cavity. Then, she got out of bed, quickly took out a sewing kit from her travel bag, and sewed up the seams in her abdomen. Of course, her pajamas had to be tidied up, and all the bloodstains were wiped away—to Bai Feifei's utter bewilderment, the bloodstains seemed like marks left by clear water, disappearing completely with a light wipe. Ah J looked around with satisfaction; there was no trace of the horrific bloodshed that had once occurred. So she slowly climbed down the bed ladder—Bai Feifei quietly pressed her stomach and felt not even the slightest pain, and there were no visible traces of surgical stitches. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would never have believed that she had been subjected to such horrific treatment every night. If what happened just now was just a dream, that would be one thing, but it was the real truth captured by the camera—cameras don't lie!

"Roundworms, roundworms, tell me..." she murmured to herself. People often talk about "roundworms in the stomach," could it be that Ah J's empathy was related to this strange roundworm ritual? Her thoughts were still in turmoil when a huge human face appeared on the screen.

"It's Ah J." She gently wiped the bloodstains from the lens and smiled at Bai Feifei off-camera. Her smile was particularly sinister.

"I've known about your stupid act of spying on me since the night before last!"

"Because I'm the tapeworm in your stomach!"

"Whoa!" Bai Feifei screamed, falling to the ground along with her chair. Her classmates all stared at her, and at that moment, she could no longer hide anything; cold sweat streamed down her face and onto the floor.

"What happened?" The computer lab instructor noticed something was wrong and asked loudly. Bai Feifei grabbed the chair leg next to her as if it were her last straw. Her hands clenched like claws and trembled violently.

“It’s nothing serious, teacher.” A female voice answered calmly, seemingly out of nowhere. “I’ll take her to the school clinic right away.”

The voice sounded strangely familiar. Bai Feifei slowly raised her head, her gaze darting out from between rows of monitors—as expected, she saw that haunting face. That face, which had just made her scream in terror on the screen, now wore a mask of hypocritical and friendly light, making it all the more nauseating.

It's Ah J. That understanding and clever woman, that online friend she once considered a confidante and sister, the culprit who secretly cut open her stomach every night, leaving her dizzy and mentally exhausted...!

"What are you doing here?" Thinking of the deep hurt she had caused her, Bai Feifei was furious, her voice rising as she shouted, "I don't want to see you again! Get the hell out of here!"

Ah J laughed lightly, a laugh that was both innocent and naive. "Don't be so heartless! Sister Bai, aren't we best friends for life?"

Now that things have come to this, without some solid evidence, she probably won't admit her guilt. So Bai Feifei pointed forcefully at the screen and gruffly rebuked her:

"The facts are right in front of you, and you still want to deny it?! No wonder I've been feeling unwell lately, it turns out you were behind this!"

Ah J looked in the direction she was looking, and his face turned deathly pale in an instant. Bai Feifei sneered twice: "Well? Are you convinced now?"

Ah J looked up in confusion, "Sister Bai, I'm so stupid! I don't understand what you mean at all."

"Hmph, still daring to argue!" Bai Feifei spoke even more enthusiastically, "Playing dumb won't get you anywhere! Let everyone see, isn't that you in the picture?"

Her words attracted the attention of many classmates, who slowly gathered around.

"The person who cut open my stomach and spoke into my intestines, you still dare to swear that it wasn't you!" Bai Feifei shouted excitedly, hands on her hips.

"Oh no!" The moment the words left her mouth, Bai Feifei noticed the surrounding air shift. Dozens of suspicious gazes were now fixed on her, as if trying to see right through her. "What are you looking at!" she cried, both anxious and angry. "What did I say wrong! Don't look at me like that!"

However, to her surprise, the crowd's gazes became even more hostile, and they began whispering amongst themselves, discussing something unknown. At this moment, Ah J, with wide eyes in astonishment and a blank, indifferent expression, said:

"Sister Bai, having a vivid imagination is a good thing, but you shouldn't confuse dreams with reality! Putting aside everything else, how can someone who's been disemboweled and whose intestines are spilling out sit here peacefully surfing the internet?"

That's true... Bai Feifei had also been wondering why she didn't even have a scar on her stomach... Could it be that the terrifying video from earlier was really just a nightmare? But it was far too realistic! At this moment, Ah J slowly took a step forward and whispered:

"Sister Bai, you were just too tired and sleepy, that's why you dozed off at the computer... a nightmare nap..."

Her voice sounded incredibly seductive, “Come back to the dorm with me… there, you can get all the sleep you want…”

As she spoke seductively, Bai Feifei's hand gradually relaxed and slowly rose towards her. Perhaps she really needed the sleep that Ah J could give her... But at this critical moment, she was suddenly hugged from behind.

"Teacher, come quick!" the person holding her cried anxiously, "She's trying to commit suicide again!"

Bai Feifei suddenly snapped back to reality. Her situation was dire; several boys were holding her waist and limbs, and other classmates surrounded her. "Is this some kind of mess?!" she heard someone complain. "Going to the internet cafe to commit suicide! Go jump off a building if you dare!"

"Shh! Keep your voice down!" another person warned the former. "She's not someone to mess with! If she really dies one day, you'll be in big trouble!"

Suicide...? But I clearly didn't have that thought... Bai Feifei quickly looked herself over, suddenly breaking out in a cold sweat! Her delicate fingers were gripping the metal end of the computer plug, while the so-called Ah J was no longer there. If she had followed her original plan, the plug would have been inserted straight into the power outlet!

This means that she, who was directly connected to a 220-volt voltage through the plug, would be electrocuted to death by the current!

"Damn it..." she suddenly realized, and cried out, "I didn't want to commit suicide! That guy lied to me!" Her pleading gaze swept across the faces of her classmates, trying to find even the slightest bit of trust. "It was all her doing! It has nothing to do with me!"

But she was disappointed. She was immediately sent to the school hospital for special care. Her classmates, led by the counselor, came to visit her, but their faces showed no pity, only undisguised helplessness and disdain. The counselor stayed behind, first letting out his usual long sigh, and then asking her directly what she needed.

She shook her head; this was clearly a huge surprise to the counselor. He almost made a desperate promise to her that he would do his best to do whatever she asked.

“Well,” she said with difficulty, “I need to go online.”

Her request was fulfilled immediately. After confirming that the computer could access the internet, she quickly slipped off the bed, making sure several times that there was no one else in the room.

This was a matter of life and death for her, and she couldn't afford to be careless. After carefully locking the door, she went online on QQ. She was determined to completely eliminate Ah J.

The constant stream of system messages overwhelmed her. She clicked on them, only to find that the only thing she could do was "confirm." In the short few hours she was hospitalized, the "White Queen" group was overflowing with people. As an administrator, she only received notifications afterward about those people being added to the group.

They will all become her friends and appear before her.

Bai Feifei felt a cool breeze blow past her back. She slowly turned her body, having already keenly sensed it beforehand—

There are people there.

Volume 3: The Suicide Watcher of the Hell Record (Part 9)

Ah J stood calmly in front of the snow-white hospital bed, his arms wrapped around himself.

"You?! How did you get in?" Bai Feifei glanced at the door instinctively, but it was still locked securely. "Are you human or a ghost?!" Her long-suppressed fear finally erupted. "Why are you clinging to me like this?!"

Ah J raised his eyebrows in surprise, "You promised it yourself, Sister Bai."

"You'll always be by my side"—the words lingered in her ears, and Bai Feifei felt a rush of blood to her head. So, it was her rash promise that caused this mess? "Forget all those words!" she straightened her back. "Our relationship ends here! Get out!"

However, her blustering shouts had no effect. Instead, Ah J leisurely sat down, casually crossing her long, beautiful legs:

"Is there anything I've done to displease you, Sister Bai?"

“They’re everywhere, all over the mountains!” Bai Feifei shouted hastily, forgetting even basic grammar. “I don’t care if you’re playing tricks or what, it’s over between us! It’s all over!”

It sounded like a lovers' quarrel, and Ah J's reaction echoed it. Her fair cheeks instantly dimmed as if covered with a layer of dust; her heartbroken expression was genuine. She kept asking Bai Feifei why.

"Haven't I always understood your heart and your thoughts? Whatever you wanted to do, I was the first to run around and do it for you; whatever you wanted, I would hand it to you the first time—and you're still not satisfied with me?" Tears of grievance welled up in her eyes, making her look like a wronged little wife. "What else do you want from me?"

"This..." Bai Feifei was speechless for a moment. To be honest, Ah J was really capable and clever, and she couldn't find any fault with him. But the terrifying scene recorded in the video, as well as Ah J's strange behavior just now, were deeply imprinted in Bai Feifei's blood, making her wary.

"In any case, it's best if we don't meet. I'll pretend I didn't see what happened earlier, and you should get out now!" She tried her best to gently drive away her former friend.

A tear, like a broken bead, silently fell from beneath Ah J's long eyelashes. At this moment, even Bai Feifei's hardened heart was touched. So, in Ah J's heart, she held such a heavy weight, such a significant place? Her nose couldn't help but sting with tears.

“Good sister, tell me honestly…” Bai Feifei was also moved and asked softly, “Is that video from last night real?”

She felt Ah J's body tremble violently; the movement did not escape her keen intuition.

"What exactly happened?" Her tone suddenly turned stern, the tenderness that had just welled up in her heart was ruthlessly suppressed by doubt. "Tell me, and I will not make things difficult for you."

She had tried to soften her tone to coax Ah J into revealing the truth. Sure enough, her gentle approach worked wonders; Ah J glanced at her with teary eyes, looking like a puppy about to be abandoned by its owner—so innocent, so pure.

"real?"

"Of course!" Bai Feifei's face beamed with joy. "Would your sister lie to you?"

“Actually…” Ah J glanced nervously at her expression, but encouraged by her feigned smile, he mustered his courage and continued, “Actually, it was all my own idea!”

“I want to make Sister Bai's life more comfortable! Before, when I helped Sister with chores, I always felt clumsy and couldn't understand the deeper meaning behind her every move... Sister definitely wouldn't be satisfied with serving her like this!” Ah J twisted and rubbed the hem of her clothes. “It feels so embarrassing to say I'm clumsy in front of Sister! Sister will definitely dislike me, right?” She suddenly raised her face, and crystal tears glistened again in her thick, dark eyelashes. “No doubt, Sister would like to have a more clever and intelligent younger sister, right?”

“So…” Bai Feifei vaguely understood something and tentatively waited for her to continue.

"I wish I could read my sister's mind!" she clapped her hands excitedly. "That way, I'd know everything she does and thinks, and she could have fun without any worries! Besides... that way..."

She secretly glanced at Bai Feifei from under her eyelids, her voice suddenly dropping to a whisper:

"I think if I do this, my sister won't kick me out of the group chat..."

So that's it! Ultimately, this is what she was afraid of… Bai Feifei breathed a long sigh of relief. “So, the reason you've been so eager to please and accommodate me,” her voice grew increasingly kind and gentle, her expression even more benevolent, “is just to avoid being kicked out of the group? Is joining my group really that important?”

"Mmm-hmm!" Ah J nodded like a chick pecking at rice, eagerly expressing his feelings at that moment, "I want to be Sister Bai's best friend forever and ever!"

"Even if you cut open my intestines and rip open my stomach, it doesn't matter?" Bai Feifei suddenly retorted, deriving a vengeful pleasure from Ah J's instantly petrified expression. "Is being a tapeworm in my stomach how sisters should get along?"

"Waaaaah!" Ah J cried out anxiously, "I didn't want to either! But he said it was the most effective way, and it would never hurt you, sister!..."

"Him?" Bai Feifei frowned. Deep in her mind, a tall and slender black figure slowly emerged, a pale head floating on a black robe, so handsome and beautiful, yet so cold and ruthless, with icy green eyes that seemed to have crossed the underworld, clear and ethereal like a will-o'-the-wisp.

"Astrologer?" she blurted out the name.

"My sister really does know him!" Ah J suddenly became excited and started chattering away. "He told us that we should make sure my sister is happy and make her 'satisfied.' I'm not very bright and never know what to do... so the astrologer told me to always ask my sister what she knows..."

"You astrologer!" Bai Feifei gritted her teeth inwardly. How could she come up with such a wicked idea! Needless to say, she remembered the contents of the contract perfectly well. As long as she uttered the word "satisfied," her young life would vanish... She wanted to take advantage of her youth and beauty to make as much money as possible!

"What if I'm no longer your friend? If," she quickly reassured the dejected Ah, "that's just a hypothetical," "what would you become if I kicked you out of the White Queen group?"

"No! Sister!" Ah J was so scared that he squatted down on the ground, covering his head with his hands, not daring to even look up. "Spare me! Just thinking about it is terrifying enough!"

"Tell me, tell me!" The more she said this, the more curious Bai Feifei became. "Anyway, nothing bad will happen!"

"No!" Ah J shook his head like a rattle drum. "I've already sworn a solemn oath! Sister, please don't force me..."

"Oh?" Bai Feifei raised an eyebrow, her smile becoming even more alluring. "Since you refuse to tell me, you can't blame me for investigating it myself!"

From her tone, Ah J seemed to sense something ominous. She raised her eyes in alarm and saw that Bai Feifei was holding a mouse.

The mouse cursor is pointing at the "White Queen" group.

In that instant, Ah J felt as if struck by lightning, understanding everything Bai Feifei was about to do. Bai Feifei intended to remove her from the group in person and personally witness her fate. "Even if you didn't tell me, I could find out myself… Old K, Little Q, and you, why are you so afraid of my actions…" she said with a smug and cruel smile, "and the shared fate of the three of you…"

Terrified, Ah J immediately screamed, "No! Stop! I'll do whatever you say! I'll never do anything you don't like again! Just please stop!!!"

Too late. Bai Feifei pressed "Confirm" with an expression of immense anticipation and overwhelming joy.

Almost simultaneously, Ah J's face contorted rapidly into an unrecognizable shape. At first, Bai Feifei thought it was due to excessive fear, but the distortion intensified. Ah J's once round and plump face collapsed and shrank rapidly in less than a minute, as if air had been drawn out of her body by an unidentified syringe, turning her into a vacuum-compressed package. Her skin shrank into a ball, her eyes, nostrils, and mouth were all squeezed together, her entire face shrinking to the size of a fist, with no trace of her skull visible—it was as if her entire face had been filled with an inflatable balloon, and now the air had simply been released, revealing her true appearance. And her body—Bai Feifei watched helplessly as her limbs grew smaller and smaller under her clothes, until the clothes could no longer contain her body, finally falling to the ground with a few thuds. Bai Feifei involuntarily covered her nose, picked up the pile of clothes from the ground, and shook them a few times. As expected, under that large pile of fabric, a fleshy yellow thing fell out with a "thud."

It was an extremely small, light, and delicate leather object, barely filling her two palms. The leather was clearly divided into five branches, with some black and red things on one of the shorter branches. Bai Feifei suppressed her nausea and pulled the leather outwards. The more force she used, the more distinct the shape of the things became—two black ones were eyes, and one red one was lips. She deliberately stretched the leather lips upwards and outwards as far as she could, making it seem as if the mouth from Ah J was smiling at her.

"Sister Bai..." The mouth suddenly moved, "Are you satisfied now?"

"Aaaaah!" Bai Feifei screamed wildly, hurriedly shaking off the human skin in her hand and running outside. She only regretted that her parents hadn't given her a pair of legs, and wished she could get away from that hellish place as soon as possible. Her screams startled the others in the hospital, who all looked on in surprise as they watched her run past them in a panic, like a rabbit being chased by a hyena. Help! Help! What on earth was going on? Bai Feifei's mind was racing. Could it be that this was the fate of all those netizens who were expelled from the "White Queen" group?

It wasn't just death; some unknown force had drained all their blood and flesh, leaving only wrinkled skin. The images of Old K and Little Q seemed to slowly flash before her eyes. Could it be that those two had never left her side, but instead, like Ah J, had become a limp pile of human skin? When Bai Feifei picked up the two piles of clothes they had left behind, she probably never imagined that deep within those clothes lay the last vestiges of their skin…

A gust of cold wind blew by, and goosebumps instantly rose all over her body. When she frowned and threw the two men's clothes into the trash can, it meant she had unknowingly discarded their human skin... How could such an absurd thing happen? The only purpose of the White Queen's online friends was to be her friend and make her happy; once they lost Bai Feifei's favor, they would die...!

Including Ah J, three people have already died because of Bai Feifei's friendships. Those people in the group were born for her wishes, lived for her hopes, and died because of her fall from favor—Bai Feifei was their queen, the master of life and death, and everything they did was to "satisfy" her, to complete the final fulfillment of the astrologer's contract. "Satisfied?" She crouched down, clenching her fists tightly, her eyes revealing a defiant spirit. "Hmph! Trying to force me to submit with these people's lives? No way!"
