The patrolman cautiously opened the black plastic bag, revealing the gruesome sight of a severed human head drenched in blood. It was difficult to determine the gender at first glance. The patrolman’s eyes widened in shock as he beheld the lifeless, fish-like eyes staring back at him. The sheer horror of the sight sent shivers down his spine.

A while passed as police officers arrived at the scene and swiftly cordoned off the area. The discovery of a human head on the railway quickly became the talk of the town, spreading rapidly like wildfire.

Meanwhile, Hugh’s health was steadily improving, and Bettany provided the necessary support for him to stroll through the hospital’s garden. The general hospital was conveniently located a mere four to five miles away from the train tracks, one of which passed within a 1-mile radius of the general hospital—the exact spot where the severed head was found.

Observing the commotion in the distance, Bettany expressed her curiosity, “Why are there alarms going off so early in the morning?”

Hugh glanced toward the source of the sound and replied, “Something happened I suppose…”

Bettany looked at him with a quizzical expression, remarking, “I know something has happened, but I don’t know what it is. You’re not answering my question.”

Maintaining a composed demeanor, Hugh simply smiled in Bettany’s presence. Unbeknownst to the elderly couple, a detached “head” was rolling in the distance.

To be precise, it was a ghostly figure with a human head.

The head spun and rolled until it came to a stop at Bettany’s feet. Then, it gradually floated upwards, defying the laws of gravity.

As the head’s eyes slowly opened, resembling those of a lifeless fish, it creepily inched closer to Bettany’s face, sniffing the air.

“Hee hee… What have you been soaking in? Such a delightful scent,” the head whispered, its presence looming eerily around Bettany, almost pressing against her face.

However, just as the head was about to adhere to Bettany’s face, a sudden beam of light shot up, forcefully deflecting it away.

“What is this?” The head grew suspicious.
