Chapter 407 - 341: Hungry, Hungry...
Seeing Wen Ying dodge, the snake tail’s attacks grew faster, coming from all sorts of tricky angles.
But Wen Ying dodged every single one.
The little girl seemed to have been provoked. She instantly opened her mouth. "Hungwy..."
The sound was incredibly cute, but witnessing it was beyond terrifying.
The little girl retracted her tail and appeared before Wen Ying in a flash, as if at superhuman speed. The distance between them was less than twenty centimeters.
The little girl slowly opened her mouth and lunged, trying to bite Wen Ying.
CRUNCH!
Wen Ying dodged. The little girl’s teeth had clearly bitten nothing but air, yet the livestream audience could hear a distinct, solid sound. CRUNCH!
It sounded as if something had snapped.
Wen Ying’s expression turned grave. After missing, the little girl quickly readjusted and lunged at Wen Ying again.
Again, there was the sound of a CRUNCH! as she bit empty air. This repeated several times.
The little girl was clearly growing agitated.
"Hungwy... eat... must eat... can’t escape..."
The dazed words tumbled from her small mouth.
When the little girl opened her mouth again, Wen Ying suddenly felt as if she were frozen in place, unable to dodge.
And everyone in the livestream chat watched as the little girl sank her teeth into Wen Ying’s shoulder and tore off a large chunk of...
Bright red liquid began to drip.
[No way! Did Doctor Wen really get bitten???]
[How could Doctor Wen get hurt! This has to be an illusion, right?]
[Doctor Wen is so powerful and invincible, how could she get bitten by this girl? And in such a gruesome way...]
[I can’t believe this little girl actually eats... That’s horrifying!]
The scene lasted for a full five minutes, and many viewers were on the verge of a breakdown.
Many others were terrified. ’Is Doctor Wen really in trouble?’
’If this keeps up, her head will be next. Is she really going to die?’
Suddenly, a calm voice spoke up. "Don’t worry, I’m fine."
Wen Ying was standing behind the little girl, watching her chew with a look of pure satisfaction on her face...
This time, Wen Ying reached out and delivered a sharp chop to the back of the little girl’s neck.
The chewing girl suddenly collapsed.
The clue was supposed to be here, but this little girl seemed... off.
’Then again,’ she thought, ’what normal person would be a patient in a mental hospital?’
With her eyes closed, the little girl once again resumed her image as a quiet and beautiful runaway princess.
After carrying the little girl to the bed, Wen Ying walked a circle around the room.
The floor in the corner was exceptionally clean and bright. There was nothing in plain sight.
But when she bent down to look, she discovered some small, fragmented things under the bed.
Quite a lot of them, in fact.
Some looked like stones, others like bones?
And some resembled shredded paper?
There were others she couldn’t immediately identify. Upon closer inspection, they looked like scraps of cloth?
Recalling the little girl’s state just now, Wen Ying’s heart sank. ’This time, it was me, and I managed to get away.’
’But what about the people who came here before?’
’I’m afraid none of them met a good end.’
When they first met, the little girl had cried out that she was hungry, but Wen Ying hadn’t understood.
’Now it’s clear that she was truly hungry, perhaps perpetually so. And when she’s in that state of hunger, she becomes another person—or perhaps, another being? A snake, maybe?’
’So when she’s normal, does she even know what she does in that state?’
Looking at the little girl lying on the hospital bed, with her long, thick eyelashes, she was like a sleeping beauty.
It was a sight that couldn’t help but stir feelings of pity and affection.
But remembering the scene from moments ago, all those feelings were instantly torn to shreds. That was the reality of the situation.
[Doctor Wen, what’s the deal with this little girl?]
[It’s so rare to see a real-life Disney runaway princess, I really hope nothing bad happens to her!]
[That state she was in just now... does that mean she eats... and that she’s not... human?]
[But look at her while she’s sleeping, she looks completely harmless! How could anyone have the heart to just kill her?]
[I suddenly understand what they write about in novels, that feeling you get when you’re in a dilemma. That’s me right now! I don’t want anything to happen to her, but I also think she’s too dangerous! It’s like I have two little people fighting in my head.]
[I never thought I’d watch a horror stream and actually sympathize with the monster... I am a sinner!]
Wen Ying didn’t say anything. She simply watched the little girl on the bed, then pulled over a stool and sat beside her.
"I really didn’t eat her... I didn’t... *sob sob sob*..."
