Chapter 329: Chapter 279 Ugly Girl (Part 5) (4200 words)

At this moment, Yan Junze was certain that ever since he entered this building, the girls in Second Uncle Wang’s courtyard had definitely begun to act strangely.

He did not know if those parents and Wang Dafa could control the situation, so he had to speed up the process here.

Luckily, his earlier preparations proved quite effective; at least, the task notification that had popped up showed no change in the task level. It remained “Anxiety-Inducing (High)” up to the moment he ascended the stairs.

The hair filling this second-floor room gave Yan Junze an overwhelming sense of oppression, as if even breathing had become difficult.

The hair under his feet felt like a soft, thick carpet, but every step was distinctly uncomfortable. He was always worried that it might suddenly wrap around his feet or even spread over his entire body, completely enveloping him.

After glancing around, Yan Junze went back downstairs, fetched a chair from the first floor to the second, and placed it under the hanging corpse’s feet, then carefully climbed onto the chair and stood up.

Because the floor was covered with a mass of hair, the chair, resting on these downy strands, wasn’t very stable. Yan Junze wobbled a bit as he stood, knowing he could easily fall if he lost his balance.

Once he was sure he was stable, the flashlight beam illuminated the Ugly Girl’s corpse that was now just inches away from him.

The body hanging there had been in place for many years and should have been mummified by now. However, the hair covering her exuded a sense of vitality, as if it belonged to a living person.

The thick mass of hair covered the Ugly Girl’s cheeks, trailing down to her chest.

To Yan Junze, this heavy hair seemed like a dense growth of aquatic plants, firmly obscuring the Ugly Girl’s face.

Taking a deep breath, Yan Junze could feel his arm skin break out in goosebumps. He reached out and gently touched the hair.

Yan Junze clipped the scissors onto his waistband and used his hands to part the hair, pushing it to the sides.

With this parting, he discovered that the hair covering the Ugly Girl’s face was entangled as if knotted, and it also seemed to be wound around underneath, rendering it immovable.

Just then, Yan Junze froze for a moment as the task information in his mind suddenly flickered, and the task level started to change. “Anxiety-Inducing (High)” instantly shifted to “Trembling with Fear (Low)”.

At the same time, he felt the hair covering the Ugly Girl’s cheeks move abruptly.

It wasn’t just the hair on the body; even the hair on the floor—the strands under the chair legs—moved slightly, as the chair had also been shaking slightly.

Yan Junze could not afford to delay any longer, aware that time was pressing. Something unexpected might have happened back in Second Uncle Wang’s courtyard.

He reached out with both hands and tried to push the hair away from the Ugly Girl’s face, but it was futile. He quickly pulled out the scissors from his waist and began cutting through the hair.

Despite being pressed for time, Yan Junze was still careful not to cut too deeply, as the hair covered the Ugly Girl’s face. A misstep could result in a scar or puncture wound, and the last thing he wanted was to give the Ugly Girl a reason for Revenge.

With a snip of the scissors, a swath of hair was cleanly cut; the scissors were indeed very sharp.@@novelbin@@

However, Yan Junze immediately felt a chill, like standing in front of an open fridge door—the cold emanating from the Ugly Girl’s corpse in front of him, as if by cutting her hair, he had opened a door to a freezer.

But the hair was thick, and he still could not see the face.

As Yan Junze was about to continue cutting the hair, the task level in his mind shifted again. “Trembling with Fear (Low)” became “Trembling with Fear (Medium)”.

In Second Uncle Wang’s courtyard.

Nearly every parent was holding down their child. These children had gone from sudden silence to rapid outbursts, taking everyone by surprise.

Wang Tao was already overwhelmed. He had just helped a mother restrain her daughter and rebind her, when another scream erupted.

This household only had the mother present; the father was away on business and usually returned only once a month.

Despite her daughter being one of the older ones at thirteen and having her hands and feet securely bound, efficiency was expected. However, the girl managed to break free, displaying astonishing strength, even snapping the ropes.

Her mother, taken aback, rushed over and hugged her child.

But the girl embraced her mother in return and began biting into the hair that was wrapped around her mother’s head.

Since the child was large enough not to require carrying, this mother hadn’t shaved her head and was observing from outside the circle. At that moment, her child’s embrace caused her hairband to snap, pulling some of her hair out.

Responding quickly, though terrified, the mother knew she couldn’t let her daughter consume the hair, as it would have significant effects on her body.

The mother immediately released her daughter and covered her head with her hands, curling up on the ground. She used her back to keep her daughter away, denying her any chance to bite.

Wang Tao rushed over and lunged at the thirteen-year-old girl, intent on restraining her before tying her up again.

The girl turned abruptly, her eyes wide but gaze empty, and charged toward the courtyard gate.
