Reborn Heiress: Seeking Revenge-Chapter 112 Nightmare Curse (1)_1

In the depths of a narrow alley, within a single-story house, pitch darkness engulfed everything, except for one home, which was brightly lit—a bizarre sight in the deep of night.

Inside the room, Uncle Yu watched with satisfaction as Shangguan Qing lay unconscious on the ground. He saw various expressions of agony flit across Shangguan You’s bewildered face, and the smile at the corner of his mouth inexplicably widened.

"In an abandoned factory, in a cramped room, what did you see?" Uncle Yu’s voice was very soft, very gentle.

"A group of men brutally tore apart the clothes of the two girls who came with you. They forced you to watch everything with your eyes wide open. Blood, everything was blood. You were scared, powerless, and desperate. You cried, you screamed, but no matter how much you yelled, you couldn’t change anything."

"They grabbed your chin, forcing you to keep your eyes wide open. You had to watch this cruel scene helplessly, just watching, incapable of doing anything. Those two girls, the same age as you, were covered in blood, their bodies stained red by it. Their eyes wide open, they glared fiercely at you. With two gunshots, both girls were shot in the chest. From holes the size of bowls, fresh blood flowed."

"The vivid red blood reddened your eyes. As they fell, their eyes, filled with resentment, were still staring at you. The men’s lecherous gazes clung to you like poisonous snakes."

"Your companions didn’t understand, even in death, why they had to endure such inhumane treatment while you stood there unharmed, watching them being violated, yet not saving them."

"Why don’t you save us? Why? Why?" Uncle Yu’s voice turned ferocious, resounding sharply throughout the room.

"This is your Nightmare Demon, your unending nightmare. It’s you watching them die in front of you; it’s you who killed them, it’s you—"

"This is your nightmare, pressed deep into the corners of your heart. From the moment you wake, you will engrave this nightmare deep into your mind, deeply, deeply. Never forget it—the resentful stares of the two girls before they died. You must forever remember this nightmare. Never forget it again." Uncle Yu’s voice shifted from sharp to increasingly gentle, increasingly gentle.

"You can forget everything else, but you mustn’t forget this nightmare. You must not forget it." Uncle Yu gave a sinister smile, his fingers crossing with a snap. freewēbnoveℓ.com

DRIP. Shangguan You’s bewildered gaze slowly cleared. Her small face was pale, her forehead glistening with large teardrops. Bowing her head, she gasped for breath, her body trembling slightly. She looked so vulnerable, so pitiful.

"Miss Shangguan." Uncle Yu looked down proudly at Shangguan You as she panted, her head bowed. He couldn’t see her expression, but he knew without looking that it must be ashen. With the return of her Nightmare Demon, she would revert to that reclusive young lady from a year ago, and his mission would be accomplished.

"Uncle Yu, you called me." Shangguan You raised her head, her cool voice ringing in Uncle Yu’s ear. Though her face bore traces of dried tears, there was no expected fear or helplessness, just an icy detachment.

"How can you possibly be alright?" Uncle Yu stepped back a few paces, staring at Shangguan You in shock. His hypnosis had never failed before; how could she be unharmed? How is this possible?

"Did you want something to happen to me?" Shangguan You’s lips twisted into an eerie smile as she quickly formed a hand seal. Uncle Yu’s shocked expression instantly turned bewildered.

"Tell me, what did you want to happen to me?" Shangguan You’s voice echoed again in Uncle Yu’s ear.

"For you to live in a nightmare every day, to become reclusive and dull, never waking up," Uncle Yu murmured.

"Who ordered you to do this? Those men in black just now, who are they?"

"I don’t know. They gave me a million. They were responsible for bringing the person; I was only in charge of unlocking your sealed memories, making you live forever in fear, unable ever to recover."

"Were they men or women? Who were they?"

"Men. Those men in black were also their people. I don’t know them at all."

"The words you just spoke, did they tell you to say them? How do you know me?" Shangguan You’s voice turned cold. A Hypnotist with no sense of professional ethics... Such a person is a waste of life; they’d be better off living forever in their own nightmare, never to awaken.

"No, the person who hypnotized you a year ago was also me. I was the one who pressed your nightmare deep inside, making you forget it. However, someone gave me a million back then. That’s why I didn’t suppress your nightmare entirely during the hypnosis, which led to the smart and clever you becoming a bit dull and foolish."

Shangguan You sneered. Just as she expected. That person was ruthless indeed, even devising such a method.

Following that, Uncle Yu answered all of Shangguan You’s questions without fail.

"The identities of those men in black, you really don’t know? Considering the Shangguan Family’s status, the fact that they could find you means you are quite famous. So why would they still need to bribe you? Didn’t anyone in the Shangguan Family suspect anything?" Shangguan You raised an eyebrow, looking coldly at Uncle Yu before her. Her predecessor’s death had much to do with this old man. If he hadn’t been greedy, how would she have ended up so dull and foolish?

"I didn’t want to do it, but they abducted my family; I had no choice. I have a high reputation in the Hypnosis Realm. I only received a call five minutes before performing the hypnosis. I heard my family’s voices and learned they had been kidnapped, so I had to act as they demanded."

"So, because you were forced, that justifies ruining a person’s life? For your family, you are so ruthless! You’ve done it once, and now a second time with the same malicious methods. In that case, you should live forever in your own nightmare! Taste for yourself the torment of living in one!" Shangguan You gave a cold laugh and clapped her hands. Uncle Yu came to.

"Why is it like this? How can this be?" Uncle Yu staggered backward a few steps, his face filled with disbelief as he looked at Shangguan You. He had just spilled his deepest secrets, and so willingly, without any coercion. How could this have happened?
