But then another strange phenomenon occurred.

He thought he heard someone talking in the room.

And the voice was calling his name?

Zhang Yue.

Zhang Yue...

The voice was an unfamiliar male voice, and Zhang Yue was certain that he had never heard it before.

At first, Zhang Yue thought it was a hallucination and cleaned his ears without taking it seriously.

But after he finished cleaning his ears, the sound continued to ring, which startled Zhang Yue so much that he quickly sat up, turned on the light, and looked into the room.

But there was no one else in the room except him.

So it must really be an auditory hallucination.

Or perhaps he misheard the noise from his phone?

Zhang Yue checked his phone again and found that it was almost 4 a.m. He was so sleepy that he turned off the light and lay down to sleep.

This time, he fell asleep shortly after collapsing.

Before falling asleep, he vaguely heard a voice calling his name repeatedly.

Unfortunately, Zhang Yue was so sleepy that he could barely keep his eyes open, and being half-asleep, he completely mistook it for a dream and didn't pay any more attention to it.

I don't know if it was because Zhang Yue ignored him on the first night that the ghost got angry, or if it was for some other reason.

In short, starting from the second night, the chill in the bedroom grew stronger and stronger, and even though Zhang Yue was wrapped in a down jacket, he was still shivering from the cold.

As for the voice calling his name, it gradually became clearer.

It was so clear that Zhang Yue could no longer explain it away by saying he was dreaming or hallucinating.

As someone who reads supernatural novels regularly, combined with these two situations, Zhang Yue naturally realized that he must have encountered a ghost.

He began to recall when he started encountering strange things.

Then he discovered that these strange occurrences only started that night after he returned from helping a friend find the jade pendant.

The only thing he did that day that involved supernatural phenomena was using the "scissors-based object-finding method."

Could it be that he made a mistake that day and accidentally attracted a ghost?

But wasn't he the Scissors God he summoned?

Who would bother looking for a ghost?

But he had clearly already summoned the ghost, and Zhang Yue had no other choice but to feel regret and annoyance.

He didn't know how to get rid of the ghost, so he tried yelling at it when the sound came at night, telling it to go away and leave.

Unfortunately, it had no effect.

The ghost continued to haunt him.

He also tried pretending not to hear the ghost's voice and going about his own business.

Unfortunately, there's nothing we can do about it.

Because that ghost was very persistent; it would not only keep calling his name, but it would also whisper in his ear and keep its eyes fixed on Zhang Yue's face.

Once it noticed a subtle change in Zhang Yue's expression, it knew that Zhang Yue must have heard its voice, and then it barked even more loudly.

Zhang Yue was so tormented by that ghost that he was on the verge of a mental breakdown.

But the thought that he might have "accidentally" provoked the ghost made him feel a little guilty.

So all they could do was endure it and hide from it.

Finally, unable to bear it any longer, he had no choice but to tell his parents and ask them to stay with him.

He originally thought that although he had "accidentally provoked" the ghost, it hadn't done anything to him for so long, so it probably wasn't a bad ghost.

I don't know why it won't leave, and it keeps calling his name.

Zhang Yue was unable to communicate with the other party, so he could only have his parents stay with him.

With his parents around, the ghost wouldn't dare to howl anymore, and he would feel safer.

As for why he didn't dare tell his parents before, it was mainly because his parents thought he was unreliable all the time, and since he caused this mess himself, he felt very ashamed, so he didn't want to tell anyone.

But in the end, for the sake of his life, he had no choice but to swallow his pride.

......

As expected, after Zhang Yue finished recounting the incident, he saw his parents' furious eyes.

Zhang Yue had no doubt that if the master and his cousin hadn't been there, his parents would have already started giving him a brutal "doubles beating."

Zhang Yue's mother couldn't hold back any longer; she was both angry and worried.

"You brat, what on earth are you learning online all day long! How can you be so bold as to try things you don't even understand? Isn't that just harming yourself and others?!"

Zhang Yue already knew he had made a mistake, and could only accept the lesson with a guilty conscience.

Lin Xi, however, after listening to Zhang Yue's explanation, first asked him where he had seen this method.

Zhang Yue didn't know why Lin Xi was asking this, but he still obediently took out his phone and opened a post.

Actually, this method can be found everywhere online, and the operation process is pretty much the same.

So he didn't know why Lin Xi insisted on looking at the post he was looking at.

After Zhang Yue handed the phone to Lin Xi, Lin Xi carefully read through the entire post, not missing a single reply from the original poster.

Upon seeing a reply from the original poster below, she pointed to that reply and asked Zhang Yue.

Didn't you see that sentence at the time?

Zhang Yue's gaze fell on the original poster's reply, his eyes gradually shifting from confusion to shock.

"No, no? Why would he do this afterwards? Why didn't he write it in the main post! I didn't notice it at all before!"

The reply Zhang Yue saw was the original poster responding to a question from a netizen.

The netizen asked the original poster if they needed to do anything to thank the scissors master after hiring him.

The original poster then replied that he had worshipped the scissors god like a deity, and then did nothing else.

But as for what exactly to do to express gratitude, or whether gratitude is even necessary, you can ask others; he's not sure either.

In fact, after listening to Zhang Yue's complete explanation of how he used the "scissors to find objects" method, Lin Xi guessed that he hadn't finished the process.

Whether the so-called "Scissors Master" is a god, a spirit, or a ghost, nobody knows.

But no matter what you get, since you sincerely asked for their help and the ritual was completed and the item was found, how can you not thank them properly?

Zhang Yue's previous operations were actually quite standard, except for this one point.

The reason Lin Xi wanted to look at the post he was looking at was to confirm whether the poster was deliberately concealing the final thank-you message, or whether the other party was only partially aware of it.

If it's the former, then it deserves extra attention.

However, the original poster explained in the comments section that it was Zhang Yue, being careless, who hadn't read the entire post.

So you really can't blame them.

It's just that Zhang Yue himself didn't have a comprehensive understanding.
