Realm of the Night God

Chapter 143: Borrowing Your Skin

Guo Yu was somewhat superstitious. She screamed again, but besides her screams, there was no other movement on the entire floor.

"Stop screaming, it's useless." The man in front of Guo Yu stopped, grinning.

"What... what do you want to do?"

Guo Yu, now completely distracted, had no thoughts about how everyone else on the floor had disappeared. She just wanted to find a way to escape from the man in front of her.

"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you. I just want to borrow something from you."

The man's voice had an inexplicable eeriness, sending shivers down Guo Yu's spine.

"What... what do you want to borrow?" Guo Yu asked.

"My skin is all burnt, so I want to borrow yours for a bit. Will you lend me your skin?"

Before Guo Yu could grasp the meaning of the man's words, his skin charred right before her eyes, emitting a burnt odor. The horrifying sight made Guo Yu scream again.

"Ah!!!"

Her eyes rolled back, her body went limp, and she fainted.

"Guo Yu! Guo Yu! Wake up!"

Feeling her body being shaken, Guo Yu abruptly opened her eyes, screamed again, startling everyone present.

"Why are you screaming? You scared us!" A young nurse nearby complained.

Only then did Guo Yu realize she was sitting at her workstation, not in the restroom. Apart from her colleagues, there was no sign of the terrifying man with charred skin.

Everything that had just happened seemed like a dream.

Seeing Guo Yu's pale face and her stunned silence, the young nurse looked worried.

"Guo Yu, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Guo Yu looked at the nurse, her gaze blank. "Yes, what's happening to me? What just happened?"

This puzzled the young nurse.

"You fell asleep here. I was about to wake you up, but Sister Ping stopped me, considering it's your first night shift. She suggested letting you rest a bit. But then, you started screaming, and I got worried, so I woke you up."

The nurse's explanation gradually brought Guo Yu back to her senses.

"It seems it was just a dream after all. Thank goodness it was just a dream." Guo Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

"What happened to you?" the young nurse asked, concerned.

"It's nothing, just a nightmare. It scared me." Guo Yu explained.

"So that's it. What kind of nightmare? Tell me about it," the nurse asked, curious.

Guo Yu, still recovering from her fright, turned pale again at the nurse's question. The events in the dream seemed too real, and she felt uneasy recalling them.

"Let's just forget about it," Guo Yu said awkwardly.

The nurse looked puzzled. She knew Guo Yu as someone brave. Seeing her reaction was unusual, she grew more curious.

"Come on, tell me. What kind of dream could scare you like this?" The nurse's curiosity was evident.

Unable to resist the nurse's persistence, Guo Yu reluctantly recounted the events of her dream.

Listening to Guo Yu's story, instead of fear, excitement filled the nurse's face, as if she had just heard a ghost story.

However, her excitement quickly faded, replaced by a hint of fear. Something seemed to have dawned on her, and she looked at Guo Yu with a mix of shock and dread.

"What's wrong?" Seeing the nurse's drastic change in expression, Guo Yu couldn't help but ask.

"Did you just say that the person with charred skin, asking to borrow skin, could it be the burn victim who died in the hospital seven days ago?"

The young nurse's words instantly changed Guo Yu's expression. She hadn't even thought in that direction before. Now, reminded by the nurse, she remembered where she had seen the man from her dream.

Before entering the hospital tonight, she had a heated argument with the deceased's family at the hospital entrance. At that time, the family member was holding a portrait, and the person depicted in the portrait was the same man she saw in her dream.

Guo Yu felt goosebumps all over her body. Suddenly, she felt that things were getting sinister.

"Guo Yu, you had a quarrel with the deceased's family at the hospital entrance tonight. Could it be that the deceased turned into a vengeful spirit and came back for revenge?" the young nurse asked.

Hearing this, Guo Yu shuddered. She waved her hand, complaining, "What nonsense are you talking about in the middle of the night!"

Guo Yu's reaction made the young nurse chuckle. The fear on her face disappeared, replaced by a smirk.

"Haha, you're usually quite brave. How come you're so scared tonight?"

The smile on the young nurse's face indicated that her previous fear was just an act. She was intentionally teasing Guo Yu, who indeed seemed frightened.

Although knowing the young nurse was joking, Guo Yu's inner fear did not diminish.

Suddenly, she felt the urge to urinate. Guo Yu's face showed embarrassment as she looked at the young nurse beside her.

She was about to ask the young nurse to accompany her to the restroom when she stopped herself. She felt it would be too embarrassing and would certainly become a joke.

But going to the restroom alone was also terrifying, especially considering the most frightening part of the dream occurred there.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Guo Yu's uneasy expression, the young nurse asked with concern.

Guo Yu shook her head and said, "It's nothing, I'm fine."

Seeing Guo Yu's response, the young nurse didn't ask further and returned to her work.

"I'll wait a little longer until I'm not so scared, then I'll go to the restroom," Guo Yu thought to herself.

The idea sounded good, but reality was harsh. As time passed, Guo Yu's fear not only did not decrease but also intensified, and she could barely hold her urine.

Unable to find another solution, Guo Yu had to reluctantly go to the restroom. Although she was terrified, she couldn't soil her pants because of it.

Just like in her dream, the restroom tonight was exceptionally cold and eerie.

Except for her, she didn't see anyone else coming to use the restroom. Enduring her inner fear, she relieved herself as quickly as possible, then dashed out of the restroom as if fleeing for her life.

A scene similar to her dream played out again. As soon as Guo Yu rushed out of the restroom, she was startled by what she saw.

Outside the restroom, a man had appeared out of nowhere. He had a wicked grin on his face, his gaze chillingly fixed on Guo Yu.

This man looked exactly like the one in her dream, right down to the wicked grin.

"Ah!!!" Guo Yu screamed in terror, while the man floated to her and grinned, saying, "Beauty, my skin got burned. Can I borrow yours?"

As his words echoed, the horrifying scene from her dream repeated itself: the man's skin started to char, becoming extremely terrifying.

"Ah!!! Don't come near me! Go away! Get away from me!!!" Guo Yu screamed while frantically waving her hands, trying to drive away the terrifying man.

Urgent footsteps echoed on the floor. Soon, Sister Ping and the young nurse found Guo Yu. At this moment, Guo Yu seemed like she had gone mad, screaming and waving her hands wildly at the air. She didn't seem like a normal person at all.

"Guo Yu! Guo Yu! What's wrong with you! Calm down!"

The two hurried over to hold Guo Yu, but she seemed truly mad, struggling violently and shouting at the air, not listening to their words.

This commotion not only attracted medical staff but also many patients and their families who came to see what was happening.
