At that moment, there was a clap of thunder outside. Coincidentally, there was a small mirror which Xu Tong had brought with her on the table. Yang Kun froze and he broke out in a cold sweat as he subconsciously looked in the mirror.
In the mirror, he saw another face appear behind him. That deathly white and sinister face had a weird, greedy expression as it stared fixedly at him. The eyes turned dull and sinister in turns, and then completely rolled back so that they were white.
Yang Kun had never been stimulated like this before. Even though he had already confirmed that there were other things like this in this world, he had only seen shadows at most. Right now, he was so terrified that he lost his composure on the spot and gave a wretched and sharp scream, like his soul was about to fly out of his body.
Even when he safely left the village later, he would never forget the fear and horror of this night.
Seeing that the thing was about to pounce on him, Yang Kun was really scared out of his wits and almost pissed his pants. He scrambled to the side and screamed for help.
Yang Kun was lucky. At that moment, Ruan Shenglin, who heard Yang Kun’s wretched scream outside the door, immediately shouted, “Brother Kun!”
When the thing heard a voice outside, it paused before it switched directions and lunged out the door. Chi Shuyan had long heard the movements inside the house and was prepared. Before the thing could rush out, she took out an Exorcism Talisman from her pocket and stuck it on the thing. The thing immediately froze and stood motionless at the door.
Ruan Shenglin was also scared out of his wits by this situation. If Master Chi wasn’t in front of him right now, he wouldn’t be so calm.
No, he couldn’t calm down at all. His legs started to tremble and turn soft again, especially when he saw the thing with the talisman stuck on it. Ruan Shenglin’s vision turned black again.
He… was… really… really seeing a ghost!
Ruan Shenglin’s eyes rolled back. It was only when he suppressed this dizziness and gripped the door tightly that he didn’t faint.
Chi Shuyan didn’t pay much attention to Ruan Shenglin, so she naturally didn’t notice anything strange about him. Hearing movement in the bedroom, she guessed that Xu Tong had opened the door. Afraid of scaring her and the child in her stomach, Chi Shuyan immediately had Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming bring this thing to their place.
Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming were also shocked. Given their previous experience at No. 5 Junior High, they weren’t too afraid of this thing. Besides, it had already been subdued by Master Chi and couldn’t move. The two hurriedly listened to Master Chi and brought it to their place.
Yang Kun, who had run out of the living room in a sorry state, still hadn’t calmed down. He was so scared that he went crazy. He screamed for help and cried bitterly. His cries were earth-shattering and miserable.
Xu Tong, who had already been asleep, woke up and hurriedly came out. She saw Brother Kun frantically crying for help as he slumped to the floor and convulsed like he was in pain.
Xu Tong was so scared by Brother Kun’s tragic state that her head immediately cleared up and she hurriedly went over to support him. Chi Shuyan was afraid that Yang Kun would be too agitated and accidentally injure Xu Tong, a pregnant woman, so she went over to support him instead and stuck a Calming Talisman on him.
But Yang Kun had probably been too agitated tonight and was too scared. Even after calming down, the big man still continued to cry miserably and didn’t stop shouting for help.
Xu Tong didn’t know what was going on at all and looked at Brother Kun in shock. It had to be pointed out that Brother Kun was usually especially brave. She had never seen him scared to the point of losing his composure.
But no matter how she racked her brain, she couldn’t think of what might have happened to scare Brother Kun so much.
She looked anxiously at Chi Shuyan and then at her husband, and hurriedly asked, “Shenglin, what… what on earth is going on? What… what’s wrong with Brother Kun?”
Just as Xu Tong said that, Brother Kun’s eyes rolled back and his whole body jerked before he fainted, which almost scared Xu Tong to death. Fortunately, Master Chi said at that moment, “Don’t move him. He just fainted. He’s fine.”
Although Ruan Shenglin was very worried when Brother Kun fainted, he also understood that this was best for him right now. At the same time, he was very glad that Master Chi had come with him. Otherwise… Ruan Shenglin’s scalp turned numb and he shivered at the thought of what could have happened.
It was too scary! This village… was too… too scary!
Seeing that Ruan Shenglin’s face was also terrifyingly pale, as if he was seriously ill, Chi Shuyan couldn’t help but ask before she left, “Are you okay?”
Ruan Shenglin gritted his teeth and nodded.
“Since it’s fine now, you and your wife have a good rest. As for your manager, just let him sleep for the night. It’s nothing serious. We’ll talk about everything else tomorrow. I’ll go deal with the rest!” Chi Shuyan’s eyes turned sharp when she thought of what happened just now. After giving him instructions, she was about to leave.
Seeing that Master Chi was about to leave, Ruan Shenglin was so scared that he wanted to hug her thigh immediately and not let her leave at all. He had felt reassured staying next door to Master Chi, but now that something had happened, he itched to immediately move into Master Chi’s place with his wife and manager.
It was just that this idea wasn’t realistic. Ruan Shenglin knew that Master Chi treated them well, but he couldn’t push his luck just because of this and rely on Master Chi for everything. Besides, there were times when she wouldn’t be able to lend him a hand. Ruan Shenglin’s eyes flashed, and he immediately gritted his teeth and made up his mind. He said anxiously, “Master Chi, right, talismans. Can I buy some more talismans from you? It doesn’t matter how much they cost!”
Ruan Shenglin made up his mind that if Master Chi was willing to sell him talismans, he would buy more even if he had to go bankrupt. It was too scary! What happened tonight was too scary!
Chi Shuyan also knew why Ruan Shenglin wanted to buy talismans, so she nodded in agreement. “Okay, but I don’t have many talismans on me. We’ll talk about it tomorrow. You’ll be fine for tonight. Besides, you have a few talismans on you, so there’s no hurry!”
Ruan Shenglin, who was extremely anxious: …
When Chi Shuyan returned next door, Wu Haoming, who felt something wasn’t right, said, “Sister-in-law, I think I saw this person during the day. He’s quite normal during the day. He shouldn’t be… something like this!”
