突然 suddenly

我没有死

可老王对这种场面好像已经司空见惯

你已经死了

女孩这才想起

老王无奈

Mr Wang has no choice,

只好掏出她的死亡证明

上面写的清清楚楚

老王慌忙掏出一根粗大的针筒

Mr Wang hurriedly draws out a thick syringe,

把什么不明液体打入小美体内

小美听到老王说了一句细思极恐的话：

Xiaomei hears a terrible sentence from Mr Wang:

你母亲来早了

母亲前来看望小美

还有一件事

oh there is one thing

请讲

Yes

把她化得漂亮一点

i'd like it back to that color

当然

松了一口气的老王似笑非笑

Mr Wang breathes a sigh of relief, replies with a weird look.  

深夜小美发现自己能动了
