Yu Bo was also soaked, but saw that there was something wrong with Mingshu. He looked at her from time to time as he changed out of his wet clothes. Seeing her suddenly cry and say that she had seen a ghost, Yu Bo’s heart turned cold and his face turned pale. He gritted his teeth and said, “Mingshu, stop it. There are no ghosts in this world! Our legs just got tangled up in the seaweed in the river!”
As soon as he finished speaking, his gaze fell on the charred talisman powder in Ji Mingshu’s hand. He guessed what it was and subconsciously put his hand in his pocket. When he took out his talisman, it had also turned into black powder. Yu Bo’s eyes widened and his face turned deathly white. The color in his lips also faded, and they trembled from time to time as he stared fixedly at Chi Shuyan.
Chi Shuyan glanced at the black, charred powder in Yu Bo’s hand and took a closer look at his physiognomy. It was different from Ji Mingshu’s. The calamity had passed, but the black qi was still dense. Whether or not he could survive tonight would depend on his luck.
“Okay, what on earth happened just now? If you don’t say anything, I won’t be able to save you!” Chi Shuyan said indifferently.
Only then did Ji Mingshu stutter out what just happened with a face full of horror. She and Yu Bo had already packed up their gear and were about to return to the bus. However, when she saw that Su Yu was also there, she couldn’t help but lean over to talk to him for a while.
She didn’t expect her words to provoke Jiang Tongle’s jealousy, and the latter called for her, saying that she had something to tell her. Ji Mingshu was in a good mood at that time, so she didn’t say anything and followed Jiang Tongle.
Who would have thought that the other party didn’t have anything to say to her at all, but seized the opportunity to push her into the river as a warning? Unfortunately, Jiang Tongle was unlucky. After pushing Ji Mingshu in, she also fell into the river.
When Yu Bo and the others saw the situation, they immediately jumped into the river to save them.
Ji Mingshu only found out later about Yu Bo, Su Yu and the others jumping into the river to save them. However, she would probably never forget what happened in the river for the rest of her life.
She remembered that when she first fell into the river, she had been about to swim back to shore.
There were swimming classes in the university, and she also knew how to swim. The river wasn’t too deep. She originally thought that it would be very easy to get to shore, but who would have thought that just as she was about to swim up to the surface, she suddenly felt something pulling on her leg, and she couldn’t kick it off.
Just before she was about to drown, she clearly saw a huge, bloated head. The ghost face was covered in livor mortis and rotten flesh as it lunged at her malevolently. It even spoke to her, saying that they were one person.
At that time, Ji Mingshu was scared out of her wits and full of despair. Just as the thing was about to touch her, a golden light suddenly flashed on her body, and the thing bounced back. Only then was Ji Mingshuo rescued by someone and brought onshore.
When she was rescued, she was still badly shaken and terrified. She didn’t hear a word that was said to her, and the hideous and terrifying ghost face from before haunted her thoughts. She shuddered violently at the feeling of being forcefully possessed, and was very sure that she hadn’t been dreaming.
To confirm that it wasn’t a dream, she had looked at her ankle, and saw five ghastly fingerprints.
At that time, she was so scared by the red and swollen fingerprints on her ankle that her whole body turned cold, as if someone had poured a basin of icy water over her head in the middle of winter. Her head felt utterly cold. On the way back to the bus, she was distracted and terrified, and felt like she had lost her soul.
Afraid that Chi Shuyan wouldn’t believe her, Ji Mingshu even took off her shoe for her to take a look. She said nervously and fearfully, “Shuyan, I’m really not lying! I’m really not lying.”
Although Ji Mingshu’s voice was very soft, it somehow attracted the attention of Su Yu and Yao Zhao in the front. Yao Zhao pursed his lips in obvious disbelief. Su Yu’s face at that moment was about the same as Yu Bo’s. His mind raced and there was a complicated expression in his eyes as he stared fixedly at the ghastly fingerprints on Ji Mingshu’s ankle. His right hand had slipped into his pocket at some point, and when he took out a charred talisman, Su Yu’s face turned very unsightly. He stared blankly at the talisman in his hand.
Chi Shuyan’s attention wasn’t on Su Yu. She glanced at Ji Mingshu’s ankle. To ordinary people, there was only a faint red and swollen handprint on it. To Chi Shuyan, the wound was still emitting a lot of black qi.
Yao Zhao saw that Su Yu’s face wasn’t good and was about to comfort him and say that superstitions couldn’t be trusted, when he saw the girl surnamed Chi take out a talisman at some point and place it on Ji Mingshu’s leg.
Then, as if watching a magic show, Yao Zhao saw the talisman in this junior sister’s hand suddenly catch fire.
This scene almost made Yao Zhao jump up and cry out.
What was most unbelievable to Yao Zhao was that as soon as the talisman was burned, the five fingerprints on Ji Mingshu’s ankle gradually disappeared. Yao Zhao’s eyes widened and almost popped out of their sockets as he stared at Ji Mingshu’s fair ankle. He was stupefied and in disbelief.
It wasn’t just Yao Zhao. At that moment, Su Yu, Yu Bo and Ji Mingshu almost cried out in shock when they saw this magical scene. Their faces changed drastically and they stared fixedly at the young and delicate junior sister in front of them in disbelief and confusion.
“Done!” Chi Shuyan put Ji Mingshu’s foot down indifferently before they could come back to their senses.
Su Yu was the first to snap back to his senses, and he stared at Chi Shuyan a little excitedly. At that moment, Ji Mingshu saw Chi Shuyan as her last hope. She suddenly grabbed her arm and said, “Shuyan, save me! Save me! Am I possessed? Am I possessed?!”
