Chapter 7 Bai An, come out. I know you're backstabbing me at home...
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire room seemed to be enveloped by an inexplicable chill. The four members of the team looked at each other, and no one raised any objections.
I would rather die than let my fellow Taoist die, not to mention that this incident was caused by Bai An in the first place.
Not to mention letting the female ghost retaliate and harass Bai An, if they were not so busy now, these people would even team up to trap Bai An in a sack.
"Since someone must be hurt, it would be most satisfying to let the person who cast the curse feel the consequences."
Zhuang Mingliang said fiercely that he couldn't wait to let Bai An go and "chat" with the female ghost.
"Yes, he deserves it!"
The other two also immediately made their stance clear. Zhu Zhe's reaction was different. He whispered, "Brother, are you okay?"
Zhu Zhe was very worried about whether something would happen to Zhu Huai. He never knew that his brother had such ability. The person he once knew well suddenly became a stranger.
He knew that Zhu Huai took the risk largely to help him. It sounded simple, but with a little thought, he could sense the danger involved.
Zhu Huai rubbed his head: "Don't worry about your brother."
What he was more worried about was whether the desperate female ghost would harm innocent passers-by.
Yin Quan said, "Well, it does think so. Regardless of whether it is an evil ghost or not, it will lose control of its anger and want to attack the living.
But evil ghosts can't do whatever they want. Ghosts are different. The female ghost that insists on haunting them is an evil spirit that can only attack those cursed. As long as ordinary people don't come into direct contact with it, it can't affect others."
What's more, if they do too many evil things, sooner or later someone will come and take them away.
"So that's how it is?" Zhu Huai took note of this knowledge. He still had a lot to learn.
Zhu Huai said to the others, "Are you ready?"
I don’t know if it was an illusion, but after Zhu Huai finished speaking, the light in the room became dimmer, and a vague black shadow lingered on the edge of the light.
Everyone except Zhu Huai started to tremble. They were really scared.
After being haunted by a female ghost for several days in a row, who can resist such warm hospitality?
Zhu Huai spoke calmly. In fact, it was the first time for him to do such a thing, but his handsome appearance and clear and pleasant voice gave people a strong sense of trust.
Everyone involuntarily regarded him as the backbone. Zhu Huai said, "However, you must be prepared. No matter what happens, you must not panic or leave this room."
The four of them nodded heavily. Zhu Huai asked them to form a circle and stand together holding hands.
This doesn't have any other purpose, except that holding hands makes people feel safer, and if one person gets scared and wants to run, the others can hold him or her back.
Zhu Huai turned off the lights in the room and drew the curtains. The room suddenly became extremely dim. Zhu Zhe held the hands of Xia Zhengwen and Zhuang Mingliang. He could feel that the other two's hands and feet were trembling slightly, and their palms were sweating, as if they were a little nervous, because Zhu Zhe himself felt the same way.
Zhu Huai took out the talismans he had prepared long ago. He stuck four talismans on each person and then whispered something.
Zhu Huai was not sure whether this could be considered an orthodox exorcism ritual. The small notebook Yin Quan gave him contained extremely complex and obscure records.
The fat moth said with a promise:
"This is definitely the most orthodox inheritance. You are extremely talented. As long as you learn these things, little brats like this won't be able to do anything to you."
"Besides, they can't find anyone else now. If you don't do anything, in a few days these people will be scared into a mental hospital, or even jump off the building."
Yin Quan stroked his tentacles and said, "They can only rely on you now."
Thinking of this, Zhu Huai lowered his eyes, and a hint of determination flashed across his eyes.
As the sound of his chanting became clearer and clearer, willow leaf patterns slowly grew on his skin covered by clothes without him even noticing. It was like some kind of contract entangled in his soul, wantonly occupying a large area of fair skin.
The black energy from the four people slowly seeped out and gathered in the middle. A female ghost lying on the ground without legs appeared in front of them.
Seeing this "unforgettable" figure, the ghost-fearing Zhuang Mingliang rolled his eyes and almost fainted.
Fortunately, the two people next to him held his hands tightly, which prevented the 1.8-meter-tall man from fainting on the spot.
The female ghost slowly raised her face, and there was a hint of confusion in her eyes, as if she had been driven out inexplicably. When she realized what had happened, she immediately stretched out her hand and grabbed Zhuzhe who was standing beside her!
"stop!"
As Zhu Huai spoke, he threw the talisman in his hand at it, but the female ghost did not stop.
Zhuzhe's face was pale. When the female ghost's fingers touched him, he almost immediately felt an inexplicable tingling and chill rising. His right leg was wrapped in an inexplicable black air, as if it was soaked in water, and became swollen and white.
They didn't know what the female ghost had gone through to become like this, but this guy was filled with a lot of resentment.
Zhuzhe subconsciously trusted his brother, so even though his right leg was paralyzed in an instant, he had no intention of moving.
"Ah!" The female ghost screamed and quickly withdrew her hand. The talisman on Zhuzhe's body emitted a bright light.
As an adopted wife, Zhu Huai's talent was considered extremely terrifying and unheard of by Yin Quan, which also resulted in the talismans he drew having extremely powerful power.
The female ghost was caught off guard and was injured. When Zhu Huai's other talisman fell on her, her body made a sound like being stabbed.
The female ghost screamed on the ground, and Zhu Huai signaled others not to speak.
He said, "You have no grudge against them, but you want to attack my brother and his friends, so it is reasonable for me to kill you, right?"
The female ghost looked at him resentfully.
"Don't look at me like that."
Zhu Huai frowned. The female ghost wanted to attack him for a moment, but it vaguely sensed something.
If it wants to get close to Zhu Huai, then the existence that firmly holds him and treats Zhu Huai as its private property may directly scare it to death.
It quickly put away this idea. Seeing that it did not riot, Zhu Huai continued:
"Since you're silent, then you agree with my point of view. I asked you a question, and you answered it. Did Bai An ask you to come?"
The female ghost stretched out her fingers, and her hair grew to form the word "yes" on the ground.
When they saw this word, the four people's eyes were blazing with fire, and they almost immediately wanted Bai An to pay the price.
Zhu Huai didn't understand what kind of hatred or what kind of evil person would do such a thing. He had no good feelings towards the culprit.
The female ghost didn't know why Bai An did this, it just came here to scare and hurt people.
"You can't hurt them, I need you to leave here." Zhu Huai continued.
The ghost girl's long hair suddenly formed clear characters: "No!"
"What's wrong? You can't touch these people. Instead of staring at them, why not change your mindset and think about your employer?"
Zhu Huai said: "If he hadn't asked you to come here, you wouldn't have encountered this."
The black energy emitted from the female ghost has affected other people. Zhu Huai has no means to get rid of it for the time being. He plans to expel it first and then learn how to get rid of ghosts.
The female ghost seemed to be thinking about something. The malice in her bones made her want to kill everyone present, but she could not harm those who had not received the talisman, nor could she resist Zhu Huai, which made her very aggrieved.
Thinking of this, the female ghost rushed towards one of them without hesitation.
A fierce look flashed across Zhu Huai's eyes, and several talismans flew in its direction, burning most of the ghost girl's hair. It guessed correctly, this man was very dangerous, and he hit it so hard that it hurt!
The female ghost stopped her final outburst and looked at Zhu Huai with resentment. The female ghost's figure disappeared, and the four black lines connected to her body broke with a "snap".
The other four people felt relieved, and the only black line left on the female ghost pointed in another direction.
"Is it really going to look for Bai An?"
Watching this scene, several people, still terrified, collapsed to the ground, speechless. After a moment, Xia Zhengwen gritted his teeth and said, "He deserves it! The female ghost should have scared him to death! Let him dream too. It would be best if he was so scared that he couldn't sleep at night!"
"That's right."
Zhuang Mingliang shed tears of excitement. These were tears of joy. When the female ghost just pounced on him, the hideous face and the oncoming black air were things he would never forget for the rest of his life.
Zhuang Mingliang cried like a 180-foot-tall, 100-pound child. After the crisis was resolved, Zhu Zhe looked at them and suddenly asked in confusion:
"You're all here, but where's Ji Yan? Where's she?"
"She didn't receive the curse spell and stayed at the base alone. I don't know where she went."
After hesitating for a moment, Ji Yan's roommate Shao Huaiping suddenly said, "She won't go to find Bai An, right?"
Several people looked at each other, not knowing where Ji Yan had gone.
——
Ji Yan and Bai An sat together, and she held the blank talisman in her hand.
Ji Yan said to Bai An, "Did you do this? You sent curse talismans to my teammates and they all said they saw ghosts. Where did this thing come from?"
Bai An said, "This is a peace charm I got from a temple."
When Bai An heard Ji Yan's words, his face froze. If this matter were to be exposed, his reputation would be ruined.
Ji Yan's expression was unhappy, but she continued, "You didn't write to me... but they didn't have time to bother you. It was as if they had seen a ghost and took a bus to a certain place at night to find someone to exorcise the evil spirits."
Bai An said, "Did they really encounter a ghost?"
Bai An's appearance is very much in line with young people's preferences. He has delicate skin and eyes like peach blossoms. He has one trick after another to coax girls.
Ji Yan looked at him with some displeasure: "I didn't expect you to know that you would do such a thing. Why did you scare them like this?"
Ji Yan believed that everything that happened in the past few days was Bai An's trick.
"Maybe it's jealousy."
Bai An lowered his eyes and gave a wry smile. "I've been losing repeatedly on the field and getting scolded by my own coach. I felt so sorry for those who trusted me. Perhaps it was a ghost that possessed me. While praying at a temple, I couldn't control myself and wrote down my wish."
"But the host said it was just luck. I don't know what really happened. Ji Yan, I'm sorry. I will apologize to your teammates. Of all these people, you are the only one I don't want to hurt."
His voice was so infectious that it made Ji Yan's heart waver. After a moment, she said, "You have to go and apologize to them, but I will also persuade them for you... They haven't looked well these past two days, as if they've been haunted. I'm also worried that something might have happened to them."
"So, did they really encounter a ghost?"
"It doesn't matter... After two days, all these things will be over."
Bai An said, his tone was a little subtle, and if you listened carefully, there was even a hint of joy.
But Ji Yan didn't hear it, because she suddenly felt the room was very cold, as if something extremely cold suddenly appeared beside her, in this room.
A strange image kept flashing back in her mind: a swollen, pale face with blurred features. The girl looked in pain...
Ji Yan was lost in thought, but suddenly shuddered. She had never seen that person before, so why did such a face appear in her mind?
"Bai An, I feel something is wrong. It seems like they really saw a ghost."
As Ji Yan spoke, she suddenly stood up. At this moment, the light bulb in the room flickered for a moment and suddenly went out. Both of them were startled.
Without any warning, and without giving them any time to prepare, the face that Ji Yan had just seen appeared in the room and in front of them!
Ji Yan's body stiffened for a moment. She met those eyes that were filled with anger, depression, and resentment. It was as if she was attacked by some substantial black energy. Her mind went blank. When the most extreme and terrifying scene appeared in front of her, her first reaction was to be stunned.
“Run!!!”
The talisman in Ji Yan's hand was blank, and she was not the target, so all the ghost girl's anger was poured on Bai An. Just when Ji Yan was about to faint, Bai An suddenly burst out with all his strength and rushed towards the door.
The scream brought Ji Yan back to her senses. Was she dreaming?
She and Bai An rushed out in panic, but the familiar corridor became extremely long and the lights above their heads went out one by one. They seemed to be trapped in the same place. No matter how they ran and screamed, no one noticed them and they could not escape from this place.
Ji Yan said: "Are they telling the truth? Did they really encounter a ghost? Bai An, what on earth did you do!"
Bai An said without turning his head, "I don't know. I just went to the temple to worship. I didn't do anything. It shouldn't have come to me. It shouldn't have!"
The female ghost's giggles could be heard, and she looked at them running away like headless flies with a happy smile, as if she had finally vented her unhappiness.
It planned to slowly torture the two people in front of it. After an unknown amount of time, Ji Yan and Bai An finally walked to the door, and Bai An opened it without hesitation.
At this moment, the female ghost slowly crawled over. Its movements did not seem fast, but it lay on the ground, crawling towards them inch by inch. The ground was full of water stains.
"Bai An, hurry up, it's coming!"
Ji Yan kept urging, and Bai An raised his head and looked at her. At this moment, an unprecedented fierce look burst out in the eyes of this man who once seemed gentle.
Ji Yan had a bad premonition in her heart. She saw Bai An quickly walk through the gate and close the door heavily before Ji Yan came over!
"Ji Yan, wait for me to come back, I will come back to save you." Bai An said, walking towards the stairs.
Ji Yan's mind was completely blank. She never thought that Bai An would do this. Thinking about what her teammates had experienced and what Bai An had just said, even though the female ghost behind her slowly caught up with her, the anger in her mind at this moment surpassed her fear!
The door that slammed shut in front of her almost shattered her sanity!
"Bai An, get out here! I know you're behind here, but I didn't expect you to be such a coward!"
Ji Yan slammed her fist against the door, her anger making her lose her mind: "Don't let me see you again! If I can get out, I'll twist your head off!"
The female ghost had already crawled behind Ji Yan, and her hair wrapped in moisture had already wrapped around her calves. Perhaps it had not seen such a scene for a long time, so it watched with interest for a while, until its hand grasped Ji Yan's ankle.
"Ah!" A cold and sticky touch came, and Ji Yan's right leg was instantly penetrated by the cold air, and the whole leg lost all movement in an instant.
She fell to the ground, feeling as if her body was frozen in time, sinking into the well along with the female ghost in front of her...
Her calves became swollen and white. This was not a psychological fear, but a real erosion.
Just as the female ghost slowly approached and lay on Ji Yan, the blank talisman fell to the ground. It paused and crawled out as if a little unhappy to look for its real prey.
Ji Yan, who had escaped by chance, was shaking with fear and eventually fainted. Outside the door, Bai An kept running, but he couldn't get out of this staircase. He heard the sound of dripping water, but saw the female ghost slowly crawling down the stairs, approaching him, and in her hand, she was still holding the blank talisman.
"Oh no! There's no curse in Ji Yan's talisman. It's coming for me!"
Bai An immediately realized the problem, and at the same time, a deep regret rose in his heart:
"I should have written her name on it, damn it, it wasn't me. You shouldn't have come to me!"
The female ghost slowly crawled to Bai An, giggled at him, then turned into black gas and merged into his body.
Bai An stood up shakily and walked to the stairs as if he had lost consciousness. He stood on the high stairs and walked forward, but he took a step and rolled down the stairs.
