Chapter 267 - 268: I Murdered My Wife
Even after hearing Su Nian’s words, the man’s expression didn’t change in the slightest. He only asked, somewhat strangely,
"But why does she keep following me?"
His tone was so flat, so devoid of emotion, that it made the viewers’ skin crawl.
[OMG, what is he talking about? Is he a murderer?]
[He’s probably got some psychological issues.]
[Could his wife be watching him from behind right now? Oh god, the more I think about it, the scarier it gets.]
Su Nian’s gaze was sharp, as if it had a force of its own that could pierce right through to his bones.
Su Nian had always played the part of a high and mighty young lady, and this moment was no exception.
She stood up and looked down at the man. "Go on. Tell me exactly what happened."
The man’s face was deathly pale, but when he saw Su Nian, the corners of his mouth curled into an unprompted smile.
"My wife and I knew each other since we were children. I loved her very, very much."
[Love her so you kill her? What kind of twisted logic is that?]
[I’m speechless. What is wrong with you?]
[Of course. A murderer’s brain is wired differently than a normal person’s.]
[I’ve already reported him to the police!]
"We grew up together, went to middle school and high school together... but when we got to high school, everything changed."
"She suddenly became a student-athlete. She competed in a lot of events: running, shot put, gymnastics, rope skipping."
"I watched her get stronger, taller, more and more muscular. I was always happy for her, because I knew it was all the result of her hard work."
"Back then, I’d always joke that she could protect me now."
[Pfft, what’s the difference? Men are all shameless.]
[And you say you were happy for her? Then why did you kill her?]
[And from the look in his eyes, I don’t think he has any remorse at all. People like that are the most terrifying.]
"We went to college together, and as soon as we graduated, we got married."
"Everything was wonderful at first, but then she started acting strange. She was always yelling at me. I have a good temper, so I was willing to let her have her way, but gradually, she even started getting physical with me!"
"I worked from home, earning money as an artist. But she didn’t understand me at all. She would always berate me and even destroyed my artwork several times."
[To be honest, hearing it like this, I feel kind of bad for the guy.]
[Yeah, they were childhood sweethearts. Who would’ve thought the woman would be abusive?]
[Give me a break. That’s no reason to kill someone. Why are you all defending a murderer?]
As he spoke, hatred gradually surfaced in his eyes.
"I love painting. She knew that perfectly well. I’ve loved it since I was a child, but she was always trying to stop me."
"She even hit me just because I liked to paint. I couldn’t take it anymore. I tried to fight back, but she broke my hand, making it impossible for me to paint for a month."
[My god, that woman sounds vicious. Hearing it like this, she sounds truly horrible.]
[The main thing for me is, does this guy have some kind of mental problem? Don’t you all think the way he talks is just bizarre?]
[I think something’s really off. Could he be mentally ill?]
[No, I think if this is true, then both he and his wife are not normal.]
As he spoke, the man rolled up his sleeve, revealing a long scar on his arm that caught everyone’s attention.
He pointed at the scar, his voice filled with venomous hatred.
"She cut my hand, too. I can’t hold a paintbrush anymore. I had to kill her. Of course I had to kill her to vent my rage!"
Su Nian nodded, her expression completely unchanged.
But the viewers started debating again.
[If that’s really what happened, I think his wife went way too far.]
[Yeah, I mean, who does that kind of thing in this day and age?]
[Don’t get it, don’t support it, can’t understand it.]
[But that’s still no reason to kill someone! It’s just not being able to paint, how can you kill a person over that?]
"Yes, I killed her. I put sleeping pills in her water. I watched her, like a fat pig, gulp it all down in one go. You have no idea how satisfying it was."
"Then, after she drank it, I stabbed her, again and again, plunging the knife into her flesh. I finally killed her. I cut her into many, many pieces!"
"All her fat disgusted me, but what could I do? I had to get rid of her. I had to get far, far away from her."
His expression was still flat, but a faint smile finally appeared on his deathly pale face—a smile that was utterly bone-chilling.
[I’m genuinely scared watching this. I think he’s a total psycho.]
[Seriously, I think he’s scarier than any ghost.]
[And how can he talk about it so expressionlessly? I think that’s what’s really terrifying.]
Su Nian saw the figure behind him, a figure as stout as a small mountain, finally begin to move slowly.
A pair of huge, greasy hands landed gently on his shoulder, and his expression froze.
"Master, I can feel that dead fatty touching me. Can you teach me how to get rid of her?"
In an instant, his smug expression turned to one of terror.
He froze completely. Never before had he felt it so clearly—that woman hadn’t left. She was still right beside him.
As if he’d gone mad, he shot to his feet, cautiously scanning his surroundings, his mouth seeming to mutter something.
"She’s here! She’s right beside me! She didn’t leave, she’s right here!"
He stood up, waving his fingers in front of his eyes, spinning in circles and squatting down. He looked exactly like a lunatic.
[Oh god, what is he doing? I’m completely lost.]
[Is this guy sick in the head, or is there really a ghost?]
[I think his wife is getting her revenge. After all, he admitted with his own mouth that he killed her.]
Su Nian watched as the huge, fan-like hands landed gently on his head once more.
This time, the movement was gentle, as if caressing a precious treasure.
Su Ming’s gaze toward the man grew even more mocking.
"Have you truly forgotten why you hurt your wife?"
"Wasn’t it because she found out you were cheating?"
"The high-and-mighty painter was disgusted with his athlete wife. He thought she was too ugly, fat and repulsive, completely unworthy of such a noble artist."
[I love it when the host exposes these people.]
[And here I was actually thinking his wife was the bad guy!]
[I’m speechless. What a psycho.]
"I don’t know! I don’t know!"
The man covered his face, muttering and shouting to himself like a madman.
Su Nian turned her head away in disgust. Seeing that mass of flesh that was still silently protecting him, she was even more speechless.
’What kind of lovesick fool is this? He killed her, and she’s still here loyally protecting him!’
