Chapter 6: The Evil Ghost Also Wants to Show His Face in the Dream
Xia Zhengwen and Zhu Zhe were bickering in the group. Zhu Huai only took a glance and knew that Zhu Zhe must have a very good relationship with the others.
"Congratulations! In just one day, you've gained a brother you've never met."
Yin Quan said to Zhu Huai, it stretched out its claws to comb its soft fur, its broad moth wings covered its entire body, and the antennae on its head swayed elastically.
It was it that made Zhu Huai recite the spell just now, which solved the problem with Xia Zhengwen. Zhu Huai had no choice but to give it a try.
Perhaps it was a psychological suggestion, but he had some difficulty when reciting the spell for the first time. However, the second and third times, it was as if a flash of inspiration came to him, and he was able to recite it very smoothly.
Yin Quan said that this was Zhu Huai's ability gradually being unlocked. After all, as a contracted wife, he should have such ability.
Zhu Huai didn't know that he actually had such ability. If he was really so powerful, why did he die so hastily in his previous life?
Yin Quan thought hard for a moment, and finally explained, "That's why you want to be reborn and redeem everything. Isn't that what's written in novels?"
Unexpectedly, this is a moth that can read novels. Yin Quan raised his little head and said:
"Yes, I want to know what you humans like. After several months of research, I already understand your thinking very well."
Zhu Huai always felt that Yin Quan's way of understanding humans was somewhat unreliable.
On the other hand, the argument between Zhu Zhe and Xia Zhengwen finally came to a conclusion: Xia Zhengwen voluntarily became Zhu Zhe's son, and Zhu Huai gained a nephew whom he had never met.
This conversation made Zhu Huai's eyes become confused. He was silent for a moment and decided to simply skip over it.
Perhaps it was because the atmosphere just now was too tense that they were talking nonsense like this. After everyone calmed down, Zhuang Mingliang covered his swollen face and said, "I can't sleep. My face hurts!"
Xia Zhengwen couldn't help laughing out loud when he saw his pig-like face. Even though the atmosphere was so serious, he couldn't control himself.
At this time, Shao Huaiping, who was possessed by the ghost, finally woke up. However, she was frightened as soon as she opened her eyes.
Shao Huaiping said: "Oh my God, this is terrible. Why is Zhuang Mingliang's face swollen like a pig's head?"
As soon as she said this, Zhuang Mingliang's eyes immediately turned extremely resentful. Shao Huaiping covered her chest with lingering fear and said, "What's wrong with you? Did a wasp from somewhere sting you?"
Zhuang Mingliang gritted his teeth and said, "That's enough, don't say any more!"
The atmosphere, which had just seemed a little scary, suddenly became cheerful, and the air was filled with Xia Zhengwen's laughter.
After laughing, Shao Huaiping's face turned pale when she understood what happened. She said, "I remember now. I really didn't mean it, Zhuang Mingliang. I think I just saw a ghost."
She recalled what had just happened, and her expression became increasingly frightened. Shao Huaiping said, "I was just lying in bed when I saw... I saw a ghost in the room."
Xia Zhengwen stopped laughing, and the three of them looked at each other, all of them still feeling scared. Only Ji Yan frowned, as if she was the only outsider in this group.
Shao Huaiping continued, "The female ghost was lying on the ground, and she slowly crawled onto my bed and grabbed my ankles that were hanging outside the bed."
"I thought Ji Yan was joking with me, but when I looked down, I found a female ghost lying on the ground smiling at me."
"I rushed out of bed and wanted to tell Ji Yan about it, but no matter how I called her, she didn't respond at all, as if she couldn't see that thing.
Then, I saw you open the door, and at that time, I found that the female ghost in the room disappeared.
And she suddenly crawled to your side, slowly crawling towards Zhuang Mingliang, and then, she possessed Zhuang Mingliang's body!"
"She just lay on Zhuang Mingliang's shoulder, as if she was saying something to him, and she giggled from time to time.
I was so scared that my hands and feet were shaking. I wanted to run away, but I saw Zhuang Mingliang rushing towards me as if he wanted to strangle me to death!
I really had no other choice but to slap him in the face to wake him up."
"Woc, Master Shao, please stop talking!"
Zhuang Mingliang almost knelt down in front of her. What Shao Huaiping said was completely different from what happened in reality.
If they hadn't experienced what had just happened, they might really think that Shao Huaiping had some mental problems.
Shao Huaiping was also a little overwhelmed. As the person involved, she knew best what she had just experienced.
Shao Huaiping continued, "I also feel like I've been possessed by an evil spirit. That female ghost was just lying on your shoulder, and her hair even fell on my face!"
"I wanted you to pull her away, but you were like deaf. No matter how hard I pushed, I couldn't move her away. I don't know why, but she seemed to hear something all of a sudden. She screamed and disappeared."
That must be Zhu Huai's spell that took effect. Xia Zhengwen has saved the audio clip and wants to set it as the incoming call notification tone.
Zhuang Mingliang only realized at this moment that if what Shao Huaiping said was true, then the female ghost had actually been lying on top of him and had close contact with him?
It was the first time in his life that he had such close contact with the opposite sex, which should have been a happy thing, but why did Zhuang Mingliang feel so devastated?
The three of them were a little depressed. Xia Zhengwen took a deep breath and said, "Don't worry, isn't that female ghost gone?"
"How do you know she's really gone?"
Shao Huaiping said: "She might even lie on top of you, climb onto your bed, and just stare at you."
"We didn't do anything, and I don't even know her. Why is she pestering us like this?"
Zhuang Mingliang was a little overwhelmed. He didn't dare to look over his shoulder now, for fear that when he turned around, he would see a strange face.
They had to think of a way, and now the only person the three of them could ask for help was Zhu Zhe's brother. As for Ji Yan?
After knowing that her charm alone had nothing to do with it, she had no further involvement with the matter.
It's not that everyone is ostracizing her, but not only has Ji Yan never seen any female ghost, but when Shao Huaiping was speaking just now, she always had a suspicious expression on her face, as if several people were colluding to deceive her.
There was one thing she really couldn't deny, and that was that Bai An didn't write anything on her talisman, which made her feel a secret sweetness in her heart.
She did not show this, but at this moment, Xia Zhengwen suddenly looked straight in a certain direction, and the expression on his face suddenly became dull, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying.
Shao Huaiping and Zhuang Mingliang both looked at him, and at this time Zhuang Mingliang thought of one thing: the talisman on Xia Zhengwen seemed to have not been destroyed?
"There's a ghost!"
As soon as Xia Zhengwen screamed, he was slapped by Zhuang Mingliang and was dizzy. The room was in chaos. Zhu Huai's chanting sounded at the same time as Xia Zhengwen's shouting, which seemed so lively.
In such a chaotic situation, the few people who burned the talisman hugged Zhu Huai's thighs in shock. They had regarded Zhu Huai as their only life-saving straw.
They said in the group: "Great God, please save us!"
Zhu Zhe stopped joking. His expression was a little nervous and a little angry: "That damn bastard, what on earth does he want to do?"
"Does Bai An have a grudge against you?" Zhu Huai asked, "Why would he target you?"
Hearing Zhu Huai's words, Zhu Zhe sighed and said, "Bai An's team is the favorite to win the championship. Their team is well-known to everyone as the perennial runner-up. In last year's national finals, Bai An's team and my team made it into the top three."
The game that Zhuzhe plays is a popular PVP game called "Alien Parade". It is extremely well-made and even has popular global competitions. The prize pool for each issue is as high as tens of millions.
Zhuzhe is the main force of the team, and the gameplay is to fight for the key to escape from the map.
At the beginning of the game, the red and blue teams each have their own bases. Players can explore the map and light candles in other areas to gain buffs for their teams. Killed players can be resurrected, and after the "key" appears, the killed players will be truly eliminated.
The first team member to obtain the key is the team's "key holder". The key holder will get an extra chance to be reborn after holding the key for three minutes.
Bai An is the main player of another team. In the last finals, his team eliminated everyone except Zhuzhe.
As the key holder, Zhuzhe defended the base to the death, while the rest of the maps were occupied by Bai An's team. In a three-on-one situation, Zhuzhe was facing an almost certain death. Even the commentator believed that Zhuzhe had no room for resistance. This was the closest Bai An had ever been to winning the championship.
But what no one expected was that Zhuzhe actually dragged another person to death with him when he blew himself up, and after being resurrected, he killed Bai An in a two-on-one situation.
This was a battle that would go down in history. The tactic of the key holder self-destructing had always existed, but it was basically impossible for the contestants in the final round to be easily dragged down to be buried with him.
It can be said that Zhuzhe's operation is almost impossible to replicate. This is a game that even he himself finds difficult to play.
Everyone was cheering for Zhuzhe to win the championship, and Bai An also sent seemingly sincere blessings after the game, but what Zhuzhe didn't expect was that he might not have really let go of that crushing defeat.
But is it necessary to curse him and his team like this just to avenge a defeat in a game?
Zhu Zhe could not accept this situation. He felt only hatred and anger towards Bai An's behavior.
Zhu Huai's mission was not yet complete, so burning the talisman was just a delaying tactic. Zhu Huai asked Yin Quan: "What should I do to completely resolve this matter?"
"You have to really drive away the female ghost that is harassing them."
Yin Quan said: "The fact that the thing didn't kill the target directly proves that it is not a difficult evil ghost to deal with. It can only achieve its goal indirectly by disturbing the mind through intimidation and harassment.
But these things are extremely difficult to deal with. It will not leave until the curse is completely fulfilled. This is its mission."
After all, the female ghost also has to achieve results. This time she came out with four mission targets, but in the end she didn't scare anyone to death. The female ghost also has to save face. If she goes back empty-handed, how can she continue to stay in the evil ghost circle?
Zhu Huai: "Why do you talk like they're at work?"
Yin Quan said, "It should have its own purpose, but...if it still has to go to work after death, it sounds a bit more terrifying."
Yin Quan combed his long tentacles and said, "Ah, actually, this is very simple. Since it wants to scare people, let it scare its own employer. If it really can't complete the task, it can also kill the person who issued the task."
Zhu Huai: "I'm grateful for your advice."
Yin Quan raised his little head and said proudly, "It's okay, I'll teach you how to do it. Take this book and read it first. It's very simple."
A small book appeared in Zhu Huai's mind, with extremely obscure words written on it. He could only understand the first few pages. How long would it take him to learn it all?
But when asked what to do, Yin Quan spread his hands and said, "I'm not a contracted wife. I don't have the ability to learn these things. If you ask me, I don't know either."
This was really a hands-off approach. He just threw the textbooks aside and didn't care how the students studied. Zhu Huai had no idea what to do. He could only pick up the notebook and read it page by page slowly. But perhaps because he was gifted, he could barely understand the runes on the first few pages.
"I found it. This is the method."
Zhu Huai breathed a sigh of relief. He finally found a way to lift the curse.
Fortunately, this was not a very complicated curse. It was just the special material of the talisman and the difficult female ghost it attracted that caused Zhuzhe's team to be in chaos.
Zhu Huai happened to be free these two days, so without further ado, amid the other three's heartfelt and tearful pleas, Zhu Huai and the other three made an appointment to meet at a hotel. As soon as they met, Zhu Zhe was shocked by the appearance of his teammates.
Only one day had passed, and the three people seemed to have been tortured to the point of being in agony. Even though the talismans were burned, the female ghost could no longer possess them and indirectly control their behavior, but this did not mean the matter was over: although there was no way for the ghost to possess them, they could still dream.
So the three of them stayed up all day, trying not to sleep, but unfortunately, they didn't want to sleep, but the female ghost could force them to sleep.
So the three of them repeated the process of staying up late, fainting and dreaming, being scared awake, and then falling asleep again.
The three people took turns dreaming. The female ghost did not favor any one person overly, and treated everyone equally. She had no way to invade Zhuzhe's dream, but was there nothing she could do to these people?
But the worst off among the three was Zhuang Mingliang. Perhaps his survival instinct had kicked in during his dream, and he actually started chatting with the ghost. His first words, terrified and panicked, were, "My dear ghost, you are so beautiful."
Female ghost: “…” After so many years of death, this is the first time someone says it’s beautiful.
Zhuang Mingliang's mouth was as sweet as honey, and he was praising the female ghost incoherently and crazily. Although the ghost was no longer scary to him, she would still stare at him and fall asleep.
Zhuang Mingliang was so frightened that his hands and feet were shaking, but his mental state was extremely clear, and he continued to praise the female ghost in his dream.
He even struck up a conversation with the ghost, even getting its name and identity. The ghost was so pleased that Zhuang Mingliang said, "Sir, please be magnanimous and let us go."
The ghost girl slowly lifted up her black hair, revealing a bloated corpse. She giggled, "No."
The muffled voice was hoarse and unpleasant. Zhuang Mingliang's hands and feet were cold, and his body was covered in sweat. He heard the ghost say again, "But I can kill you last, haha."
What a shocking sentence! Zhuang Mingliang was so moved that he almost cried.
Just when they were about to be driven crazy, Zhu Huai finally arrived. He opened the door and saw three people with bloodshot eyes and blue faces looking up at him with longing eyes.
Then, Xia Zhengwen rushed over, held Zhu Huai's hand and said to him:
"Master, please save us!"
The mournful voice was filled with tortured despair. Zhu Huai didn't know what was happening, but he felt their pain. He said, "Don't worry, I have a way to help you."
"What should we do?"
The other two people instantly became excited. Zhu Huai glanced at them and continued, "The female ghost won't leave unless she harms people. I think she's still pestering you because she hasn't achieved her goal."
His words chilled the hearts of several people for a moment, but Zhu Huai added, "So I must choose one person to bear its backlash. In that case... let the person who cast the curse experience what you feel."
The author has something to say:
----------------------
Zhuang Mingliang: We are the ones who are scared, why are you so angry?
Female ghost: My mission is to scare you to death, but you refuse to die and attack me. I am very angry. Why can't you be scared to death by me?
Zhu Huai: You should find someone else [spreading hands] Go home, ghost girl, go home
