Chapter 390 -305: Tricky Silk – It’s Behind You (Please Subscribe, Requesting Monthly Tickets!)_2
If one were to merely glance at her, she’d seem just another passerby, but now Zeng Shiyuo was completely stunned.
Because he realized that woman’s gaze had been fixed on the direction of the security room, and most importantly, this woman was only wearing a very thin shirt, sans pants. The length of the gossamer shirt barely covered her thighs, and the shirt was not properly worn, covering only half of her body, while the other half was fully exposed, as she walked down the street.
To Zeng Shiyuo, who had an encounter this morning, this scene was all too familiar.
He threw down his chopsticks, stood up abruptly, and turned to face the security room door.
His colleague, who had been eating noodles with him, was surprised and remained seated, watching him. Seeing that Zeng Shiyuo kept staring at the street outside the door, he also stood up and looked outside, but apart from people passing by, everything seemed normal.
...
Zeng Shiyuo’s voice began to tremble as he asked, “Did… did you see… that woman?”
“Which one?” his colleague replied in astonishment.
“Just… just that one!” Zeng Shiyuo pointed at the street, “That woman… the one whose clothes aren’t properly worn!”
“Who?” his colleague was even more surprised, looked carefully again, “There’s no one whose clothes are improperly worn!”
Zeng Shiyuo shivered suddenly, almost leaping up, pointing at the woman who was now approaching the security room, “She’s coming, that’s the one, approaching right now! Can’t you see her?”
His colleague looked bewildered, but clearly became frightened, and hesitantly poked his head toward the door, “There’s no one out there.”
The woman had already come right up to the door of the security room. Without pausing, she stepped in, raised her hands at the same time, fingers splayed, and opened her mouth wide at Zeng Shiyuo.
Not only that, her eyes were fixed on Zeng Shiyuo as if they were about to pop out.
Zeng Shiyuo screamed in terror, turned, and ran towards the window. Relying on his slender frame, he squeezed through the open window, the woman’s outstretched hands not even brushing his clothes.
His colleague, confused, watched as Zeng Shiyuo jumped out the window to escape, and then turned back to peer into the room, which still appeared empty.
Zeng Shiyuo looked back and saw this scene, sure that his colleague couldn’t see anything, and that only he could see the woman.
He felt very frightened. What he had seen in the early morning was a bare-chested old man, but now it seemed a young woman with disheveled clothes followed him.
Moreover, the movements of both strangenesses were very similar, both silently advancing towards him, even when Zeng Shiyuo had his back to the outside.
Zeng Shiyuo could swear that if it weren’t for a random glance back, he might not have known the woman was behind him.

Though his colleague sat opposite him, he apparently couldn’t see either of the strangenesses. Only Zeng Shiyuo himself could see them.
Zeng Shiyuo quickly concluded that had he not looked back, he would surely have been doomed just now.
The face of this woman was also unfamiliar to him; he had never seen her before.
Wearing the security uniform, Zeng Shiyuo quickly fled along the street, occasionally looking back to check behind him. He noticed the woman had left the security room, but her pace was the same as before, and she was unable to catch up to him.
Feeling slightly more at ease, Zeng Shiyuo caught his breath and dared not return to the construction site.
The two strangenesses wanting to harm him were different, but their behavior patterns were very similar. Zeng Shiyuo couldn’t understand why, but in any case, he admonished himself to be vigilant of what was behind him from now on.
Just thinking about what would have happened if he hadn’t looked back sent shivers down his spine and his heart racing uncontrollably.
Once he made sure the woman couldn’t catch up with him, Zeng Shiyuo considered taking the bus, when suddenly his phone rang in his pocket, startling him in his state of panic.
Pulling out his phone, he saw it was his wife, Tian Xiaoxia, calling. Upon answering, her anxious voice immediately came through, “Shiyuo, what should we do? Hurry over!”
“What happened?” Zeng Shiyuo was startled and checked the time, which would be when Tian Xiaoxia should be at the market buying groceries for the construction site canteen.
Tian Xiaoxia said on the other end, “Someone… someone is following me. He was staring at me as he walked over at the market. I felt he wanted to steal my purse, so I quickly avoided him, but he’s been staring at me ever since and following me.”
Upon hearing this, Zeng Shiyuo felt his heart plunge into an abyss, and he stammered with urgency, “Xia… Xiaoxia, listen… listen to me, is that man’s dress… very odd? Or… is he not wearing clothes?”
Tian Xiaoxia seemed to look back, and after two seconds, responded, “No, he’s wearing clothes, but they seem very old-fashioned.”
“Do the people around… can they not… see him?” Zeng Shiyuo quickly asked.
“Ah!” Tian Xiaoxia sounded somewhat flustered, “I… I don’t know, I wasn’t paying attention.”
“Run, run fast!” Zeng Shiyuo suddenly shouted into the phone, “That person is very likely a strangeness, just like the old man I told you about earlier. Don’t let him get close to you, run fast!”
“Ah!”
Tian Xiaoxia began running, screaming as she sprinted.
“Go home, we’ll talk when you’re home.” Zeng Shiyuo hung up and quickly flagged down a taxi by the roadside.
As long as he heard his wife start running, he wasn’t too worried because he guessed that man was like the strangeness he had encountered, who, in any case, would only walk slowly and not chase after his target.
If he noticed early on, there was a great chance to avoid it.
