It was a good thing that Yan Yan had told him this after dinner. Otherwise, he really wouldn’t be able to eat at the thought that the Shen family had moved in next door to his place.
Did this child have to poke so accurately at his sore spot?
Chi Shuyan looked at Uncle Wei’s stiff face, and her lips curved up ina sincere and innocent smile. “Uncle Wei, I’m just worried that you’ll be scared when you go back and see the Shen family. I’m giving you a heads-up!”
‘Wei Xiao:
After a pause, Chi Shuyan said, “By the way, Uncle Wei, aren’t you especially brave?”
Wei Xiao thought to himself that while he was used to storms, this was the first time he had come into contact with the supernatural. He was suddenly told that the daughter of a colleague wasn’t human, and she still appeared around him — no matter how brave he was, he couldn’t help but be nervous.
He was going to say a few words in retort to Yan Yan, but when he met the pair of sharp, black eyes next to Yan Yan, he fell silent.
Chi Shuyan thought of how Uncle Wei had gone out to check the populace today, and said, “Uncle Wei, by the way, how was your investigation today?”
At the mention of this, Qi Zhenbai also became serious.
Wei Xiao thought of the ritual in Zhaoshan Village and of its missing people. His face was very heavy. He sighed and said, “Yan Yan, it’s a good thing you alerted me this time. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have known that so many people went missing, For various reasons, however, their disappearances weren’t
reported.”
Wei Xiao told Chief Qi and Yan Yan the number of people who had gone missing from several remote villages in the last few decades. His own hair had stood on end when he saw the number, and he couldn’t believe it.
Then, he mentioned the strange things that had happened in Li Village and its missing people.
Wei Xiao specifically mentioned that the old village chief said that Da Meng had been possessed during the search, and had jumped into the river and died. After that, many other people in Li Village who had gone looking for the missing also died in the river for no apparent reason.
‘When Wei Xiao heard the old village chief say this, his face had been fairly expressionless, but his heart had been very cold. Although he now believed in some of the supernatural, his imagination was limited since he was used to thinking in a pragmatic way. For a moment, he couldn’t make sense of
things. He pursed his lips and suddenly asked, “Yan Yan, how do you think these people died?”
Chi Shuyan, who exorcised or saw ghosts on a regular basis, felt this was very normal, and said, “This person, Da Meng, was most likely possessed by a ghost!”
Chi Shuyan’s voice was very calm and normal. Qi Zhenbai, who was next to his wife, had already seen many of these strange things, and was also very calm. However, when Father Wei heard the words “possessed by a ghost,” his hands shook and he gulped down three cups of water in a row. He couldn’t be
calm at all, and felt horrified. “Yan Yan, how could he have been possessed? Wait, is that thing in Shen Rongyin’s bracelet really a ghost? That thing can even possess a human?”
Chi Shuyan said that she wasn’t sure if that thing was a ghost, but it was evil and fed on evil energy. It wasn’t anything good. At that moment, Qi Zhenbai’s phone suddenly rang. He nodded at Father Wei, then walked out to the balcony to answer the call.
In the living room, Father Wei still couldn’t calm down, especially now that the Shen woman was living next door to his family. He was really alarmed and afraid of Shen Rongyin targeting someone in his family in the middle of the night.
Chi Shuyan hurriedly said that it was impossible for Shen Rongyin to do anything in public in the military district. She also told Uncle Wei that he would be fine if he carried on him the talismans which she had given to him before.
Father Wei sighed with relief..
