One Word Changed, Characters in Chaos

Chapter 187: Chapter 164: Shocking!

“Ye Bingtong saw the curiosity of the crowd and gave a bitter smile as she slowly unwrapped the bandage. She knew beneath it lay a horrifying wound that had to be redrawn every day, but she couldn’t bear to look each time—the imitation was too lifelike. Even if one touched it, abnormalities were hardly noticeable, let alone just by looking.”

“One by one, Ye Bingtong unwrapped the bandage, revealing her wound to everyone.”

“Her wound was painted by professionals who spent hours each day designing it to look like it might if it were real. It was no longer freshly inflicted; compared to the beginning, the wound had changed. On Bingtong’s wrist was a long scar, the dark red wound shockingly vivid. Additionally, there were signs of yellow and green infection, with hints of white fluid seeping out. The doctor had said that the wound had become infected, and thus, it needed to be dressed with medicine daily.”

“As Bingtong’s wound was displayed in front of the camera, the jeering in the live broadcast subsided significantly. The viewers finally realized how their words could harm such a fragile woman. Gazing at the wound on Bingtong’s wrist, they fell silent. Their previous actions had harmed an innocent person in this way. Were they really in the right? The shocking wound seemed to be evidence of their guilt.”

Ye Xiao read on with a tsk of amazement.

This book was truly odd.

Even though it was written that Bingtong’s wound was fake, it was depicted as if she’d been persecuted by the entire world.

The degree of disassociation was alarmingly close to madness.

And, as per usual,

The last part, where the audience is moved to remorse, was marked as a key scene.

Indeed.

These books no longer cared about saving face and had started playing hardball.

Luckily, Xiaoxiao was prepared.

After a quick read, she swiftly began revising.

Having finished, Ye Xiao turned her attention to the screen.

On the screen, Bingtong decided to confront her wound after being persuaded by others.

And so,

She unwrapped her own bandage, weak and tender.

Ye Xiao couldn’t help but feel expectant.

The system had never let her down before; surely, it would be powerful this time as well.”

“The wound is truly quite frightening. I can’t even bear to look at it each time I change the dressing. So here, I’d like to persuade everyone not to follow my example; life is precious,” Bingtong said softly, before completely unwrapping the bandage.

Her wound was fully revealed to the camera.

Ye Bingtong was already waiting for the shocked and sympathetic gazes of the audience.

However,

The next moment,

the first thing that hit them was a waft of putrid stench.

People in the hospital room covered their noses, making sounds akin to vomiting.

What was going on?

Ye Bingtong looked at her wound in disbelief.

At the wound was a deep gash, and the color had turned from bright red to dark red, which was normal since a few days had passed since her suicide attempt. The dark red color wasn’t a problem.

But…

What about that yellow-green infected area they painted on?

That smell… Ye Bingtong leaned in to sniff.

Her face turned green instantly!

She was absolutely sure.

It was the smell of feces!

Her painted wound was somehow covered with a thin layer of feces!

Ye Bingtong’s mind went blank as she saw the disgusted expressions on everyone’s faces. She desperately wanted to say something.

Suddenly,

from her wound, white worms began to crawl out.

Wiggling their backsides, those worms started climbing up her arm.

Bingtong felt an indescribable wave of terror wash over her.

She couldn’t help but scream aloud.

Ye Xiao watched, thoroughly amused.

Excellent, the system was indeed powerful.

This time, she had been quite economical, altering just two words.

“And some yellow-green color indicative of infection, with hints of white fluid seeping out,” this line, Ye Xiao directly changed to.

“There was some yellow-green excrement being infected out, and you could vaguely see white worms seeping through.”

The yellow-green turned into yellow-green poop.

The white fluid turned into white worms!

A two-word change created such a painful outcome, and the only regret Ye Xiao had right now was that she’d forgotten to bring sunflower seeds!

Just as she was feeling sorry for herself,

Suddenly, a handful of sunflower seeds were handed to her.

Ye Xiao looked up to see Gu Yan’s unfazed expression.

Ye Xiao was shocked.

In such a thrilling scene where everyone was watching with bated breath and intense interest, Gu Yan was as unmoved as a mountain, yet he remembered to offer her sunflower seeds.

Ye Xiao was instantly touched.

Awesome, way too awesome.

Seeing the sparkling look in Ye Xiao’s eyes, Gu Yan also felt a stirring in his heart.

He never concealed his feelings for Ye Xiao, so did Xiaoxiao finally get it?

The next moment.

Ye Xiao lowered her voice and said, “Gu Yan, you’re on the right track. Knowing to follow me gets you seeds. Don’t worry, even if you didn’t bribe me with seeds, the next time there are seeds, you’ll still be the first one I think of.”

Having said that,

Ye Xiao happily accepted the sunflower seeds.

Gu Yan: “… Okay.”

Forget it.

For now, just play the part of an enthusiastic onlooker.

If you want to climb the ladder, there’s still a long way to go.

Once the seeds were in hand, everything suddenly felt right.

Thankfully, the awful smell from Bingtong’s side didn’t carry over here!

Otherwise, Ye Xiao felt, she wouldn’t even be able to enjoy her favorite seeds.

In the screen, Ye Bingtong was freaked out by those worms.

She screamed, too scared to touch the worms, and jumped off the bed in an instant, trying to shake them off.

The viewers in the live stream: “???”

“What’s going on, why do the expressions of the people in this hospital room look so weird.”

“Don’t tell me it’s what I think it is, that yellow-green stuff is actually…”

“Aaaaah, my eyes! I can’t take this, what’s the deal with these worms!”

“You are all focusing on irrelevant things, I’m just curious, isn’t Ye Bingtong seriously injured and weak? Looking at how agile she was jumping out of bed, it doesn’t look like it!”

“Listening to her powerful screaming, it doesn’t seem like it either!”

“Seeing how lively she’s hopping around, it certainly doesn’t seem like it!”

“A few seconds ago, she said to the camera that she couldn’t get out of bed because her body was still very weak. Now?????”

“That hand wound looked so serious, does it not hurt to flail it around like that?”

“Ew, so disgusting. Look, as she shakes her hand, bits of that yellow-green stuff are flying off… some even landed on Luo Li’s face!”

“!! I saw it too! Luo Li’s expression was priceless, I’ve already taken a screenshot.”

“No way, no way, that can’t really be… you know!”

In the live stream.

There were voices of doubt as well as those just enjoying the spectacle.

Ye Bingtong couldn’t see any of this right now.

In her eyes, there were only those horrible worms.

She desperately shook her hand but couldn’t shake off those damned worms.

Ye Bingtong couldn’t stand it anymore, she directly used her hand, pressed down on the worms and threw them away, then she continued to press…

Until she had thrown all the worms away.

Ye Bingtong revealed a satisfied smile.

But as she looked up, she saw everyone staring back with faces full of horror.
