Chapter 47: The final challenge: to live!
Mu Aisan was horrified to the core at this point. She was lying inside a dirty bathtub that was covered in thick dust. The shower curtain in front of her eyes was so dirty that she couldn't see straight, and the air around her was filled with an incomparably putrid odor. The odor was so strong that she wanted to dry-heave and subconsciously covered her nose. If hell was any scent, then Mu Aishan could guarantee that this was the scent of hell. Even if she said that there were over a thousand rotting dead bodies outside right now, she wouldn't have half a doubt. How did she end up lying inside a bathtub? It was the same as her initial inability to understand why she had awakened inside Blackwater Hospital. She realized that all of her memories were starting to become disconnected, and the last memory she had was when she was talking to the person on the other end of the phone, who seemed to be saying …… "I'm an only child, I don't have a sister ……" He seems to have said that? Mu Aisan used her left hand to tug on the shower curtain as she tried to get up, but her left hand wasn't strong enough, so she switched to her right hand. But as soon as her right hand was drawn away from her nose, the putrid odor that made her simply go crazy drilled madly into her nostrils, soaking every single one of her olfactory cells. Ever since she was a child, Mu Aisan had never been so eager to get a cold that made her sense of smell malfunction. She immediately pinched her nose with her left hand, and for a moment she hated to pinch it in half! What's outside this door? There couldn't really be thousands of stinking corpses, could there? She was afraid that the stench could only be produced by people who had been dead for ten days and were exposed to the summer sunlight. At this moment, she could only open her mouth wide so that she could barely breathe. Then, little by little, she pulled the shower curtain open. As a result, a large amount of dust shook down from above, showering Mu Aishan's head and face. She tossed her hair, desperately trying to make herself shake off the dust, but because she had just opened her mouth wide, countless amounts of dust went straight into her mouth and straight to her stomach. She couldn't stop herself from coughing. And with that cough, her hand jerked away from her nose again, and the putrid stench once again made her feel like fainting. With a tug on the shower curtain, she pulled it down hard, along with the iron rail that hung it! The railing fell to the ground with a very loud sound. In this silent space, the sound instantly made her feel a truly intense terror! She barely climbed out of the bathtub, and then realized that her feet were incomparably cold, and when she looked again, the shoes and socks …… on her feet were gone! As her feet touched the cold floor on the ground, Mu Aishan sucked in a breath of cold air. So cold! She almost lifted her foot back up. Mu Aisan re-lifted her other foot from inside the bathtub and stood on the floor. At this time, she realized that she was covered in sweat. Sweat continued to trickle down from her forehead and dripped onto the floor. And her hand was still pinched dead center on her nose, and the sweat on her nose kept spilling down and running onto her fingers, only to feel incredibly cold …… Then she saw, on a mirror in front of her, a piece of paper taped to it. "Escape! Alien Spirit! Stage 3 (Final) Challenge: Whether or not you can escape from Blackwater Island depends on your luck. Survive. The key you hold, if you hold the key and shout out 'I swear to be an apartment dweller', you will be able to enter the apartment, which is also a way to survive, except that the result will definitely be worse than death." Looking at this piece of paper, Mu Aisan's first reaction was to check if the key was still on her. Becoming an apartment dweller? Even if she thought about it, she knew that the apartment was definitely an incredibly weird place, and the words "worse than death" were something Mu Aishan had a deep understanding of. Since entering the entertainment industry for so many years, her greatest realization is: in this world, there is indeed a pain that is more frightening than death. This kind of pain may not even be brought by disease or war, but in a civilized and peaceful society, it is also the despair that makes people feel that it is better to die. She used to believe in the saying "Better to die than to live", but in fact, what it takes to live is much higher than to die. She rushed to the mirror in front of her and tore the paper off. She looked at herself in front of the mirror, sweaty, hairy, bloodshot eyes, if her fans see her now, I'm afraid they won't recognize themselves. Live …… She deeply realized the weight of these three words at this time l. Here, dying is easy, living is the toughest. Has been supporting until now, Mu Aisan is almost about to spirit mental collapse, now she can not even think of anything. She looked at the mirror in front of her, her hand constantly clenched into a fist, the fist and quickly loosened. At this time, she really wanted to roar loudly, and wanted to punch hard to the mirror in front of her! However, in the end, reason overcame emotion. She held the vanity in front of her with both hands, and with great difficulty she craned her neck to look at the bathroom door. The door …… was hidden, leaving a small gap. All she had to do was walk up and she could open the crack. All the light in the bathroom came from the gap in the wood paneling outside the frosted glass of the bathroom. She approached that crack in the door, but, in any case, she was afraid to walk out. And the hunger and thirst, the long hours of physical exertion, and the mental strain of constant fear and trepidation were too much for her to bear. Open the faucet …… of the washstand in front of her, and sure enough, not a single drop of water can come out. What she regrets most now is why she took on this damn reality show. Why did she have to listen to the agent, what now is the era of marketing in order to have heat, to have exposure, can not always be behind closed doors to figure out the acting skills, no matter what the program, to be on all the time, in order to bring the topic of hype flow. She originally did not particularly want to frequently appear on variety shows, but the agent's words did make sense, so she listened. Now that she thought about it, if she had insisted at that time, wouldn't she have suffered this kind of unwarranted disaster? She was one of the few acting talents amongst the flow actresses today, and it was completely different from a black and red flow like Sun Jiamin who was purely selling her persona, ah! She suddenly felt her legs go weak at this moment, and her entire body fell to the ground, at which point, she barely managed to grab the toilet at the side with one hand. The toilet didn't have a toilet seat, and it was a dirty mess inside. Just as she was about to pivot her body back up, she suddenly noticed that inside the …… toilet, there was a pool of water. Of course, even with her eyes, she knew that it was definitely dirty. However, she was now so thirsty that her throat was smoking, and she was pretty sure that she definitely hadn't had any water for over a day. With a trembling hand, she reached out and cupped the water inside the toilet. Though she felt the nausea of strong retention, the thirst was about to rip her throat open. And as soon as she put both hands out, the stench of rotting corpses continued to hit her olfactory cells. At this moment she was so agonized that she could not wait to remove her nose all together, and at the same time her head was completely pushed into the toilet bowl, and she began to drink the water in this …… However, just after drinking two mouthfuls, she suddenly felt that something was wrong. This water …… Why is it so fishy? She immediately spat out this water, and then took a closer look, the water inside the toilet bowl, completely turned into blood! "Ah!" She was so frightened that she immediately stood up and desperately backed away! At this time, she suddenly noticed the mirror on the side, and inside the mirror, on her mouth, on her chin, all of it was blood! At first glance, it was like a living female vampire! Looking at this creepy scene, she was about to go crazy. She rushed towards the bathroom door and opened it! The hallway outside the door was bleak. Not far away, were the stairs leading down. This was the third floor …… She touched her head, feeling only groggy and light-headed. And walking barefoot on the cold floor, that chill also seemed to pierce into the bone marrow. And after walking outside, that corpse stench became even stronger, and she had to continue to cover her nose. But even so, she still felt the stench tormenting her all the time. Mu Aisan, truly thought of death in her mind. Maybe she was really going to die here. And as her hand covered her nose, it was stained with blood from her mouth. That fishy smell close to her nostrils, the stench and blood mixed together, making her almost want to faint. Was she going to die? Was she going to die here? She took a step towards the stairs in front of her, and at the same time, took the key out of her hand ……
