After feeling a hand grabbing his ankle, Chen Junming's whole body stiffened and he dared not move. In this situation, his senses became extremely sharp.
There was wind blowing outside the window, and the leaves were rustling. Not far away, two girls were talking in low voices, and occasionally they laughed in tacit understanding. The air was filled with the aroma of food and the fresh and slightly sour smell of fruit juice. The small chandelier in the kitchen emitted warm yellow light... Everything was still warm, but Chen Junming was the only one who was deeply trapped in the panic of the unknown.
He wanted to lift the tablecloth to see what was going on, but he was afraid of seeing a scene that he couldn't bear. He thought about it again and again, and the more he thought about it, the more panicked he became. His brain got hot and he pulled his legs hard!
The hand holding his ankle gripped tighter, pulling his leg tightly. Chen Junming felt a piercing pain, as if his skin was scratched by something sharp... Could it be a nail?
Chen Junming was frightened to the point of going crazy. While regretting that he didn't bring his protective gear with him, he struggled even harder to break free from the hand. As he was pulling, the chair scraped against the ground, making a sharp sound.
The noise startled the two girls. They looked at Chen Junming and saw that his face was pale and sweat was on his forehead, as if he had been extremely frightened.
Shi Xi showed a worried look: "Mr. Chen, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
Chen Junming now felt like he was being roasted on a fire. To be honest, there must be a ghost under the table, but he had just sworn that the ghost in the house was scared away by the wizard he brought with him. If he told the truth, wouldn't it seem that he was bragging before?
Moreover, he had always acted very bold and reliable in front of Jiang Tong. How could he admit that he was scared by a ghost? What's the difference between this and slapping himself in the face!
Various thoughts flashed through his mind. Chen Junming was also a talented person. His strong sense of vanity made him find a way to say something that would not lose face. He pretended to be calm and said, "The wizard is not here..." Chen Junming pointed under the table and said silently and slowly, "The ghost is back and is grabbing my leg now!"
Chen Junming thought that even if the ghost came back, it would rather die than show its face. Now it just grabbed his leg and didn't want to kill him. When the two girls were frightened and panicked, he would calmly call the wizard back to deal with it. They would definitely think he was very powerful!
Chen Junming stared at the two people's reactions, ready to take the next step at any time, but saw them walking towards him calmly.
"Mr. Chen, are you kidding?" Shi Xi pulled away the tablecloth!
"You're crazy!" Chen Junming didn't expect her to be so fierce, and his heart almost jumped out of his chest in fear.
Shi Xi glanced under the table, and when he looked up, there was a hint of mockery in his eyes: "Is the ghost that Mr. Chen was talking about this sweeping robot? Mr. Chen's acting skills are very strong. It would be a waste of his talent if he didn't become an actor."
"What sweeping robot?" How could the touch of grabbing my ankle be a sweeping robot? It was clearly a cold and stiff ghost hand!
Chen Junming looked down and found no ghost under the table. Instead, there was a mini version of a sweeping robot at his feet. After it bumped into his shoes, it awkwardly changed direction and slowly slid away.
Chen Junming pulled up his trouser legs. There was no ghost hand on his ankle, not even a mark. Could it be that there really was no ghost under the table, and he was so nervous that he imagined the sweeping robot as a ghost?
Thinking of his stupid behavior just now, Chen Junming's face turned pale.
Jiang Tong looked at his face with a surprised look in her eyes: "Mr. Chen, are you kidding me? Are you mistaking the robot vacuum cleaner for a ghost?"
Chen Junming said stubbornly: "No, I was just joking with you."
"Mr. Chen, it's better not to make such jokes. Haven't you heard a saying?" Shi Xi supported the table with one hand, looked into Chen Junming's eyes, and said with a smile: "Don't talk about ghosts at night, or ghosts will come."
The wet shirt stuck to his back and Chen Junming felt cold all over. Even though he tried his best to restrain himself, his trembling pupils betrayed his true emotions.
"Mr. Chen, you look so bad. I just said this proverb when I remembered it. I hope it didn't scare you." Shi Xi handed him a glass of juice. "It's my fault. Mr. Chen, please have a glass of orange juice to calm down."
"I'm not that fragile." Chen Junming felt suffocated. He unbuttoned the two buttons roughly and picked up the orange juice in front of him.
In his plan, he should be alone with Jiang Tong now, drinking flirtatious cocktails or red wine, instead of drinking sweet orange juice in a shirt soaked with cold sweat. But he really needs to replenish water now.
Just when Chen Junming was about to drink it all, a drop of dazzling red blood suddenly seeped out of the juice in the cup! Chen Junming's hand trembled, and the drop of blood splashed out. The juice rolled in the glass and turned into scarlet blood. The smell of blood filled his face. Chen Junming's teeth trembled and he raised his hand to smash the cup!
"Bang——" The glass cup exploded on the tile, and blood splattered all over the floor, flowing on the ground. Bright red fish jumped out, treating the ground as a pond and swam towards Chen Junming in dense groups.
If this was a pond in a park, and a group of auspicious koi were swimming towards him, Chen Junming would be very happy, and even have the leisure to get some fish food to feed them... But the school of fish in front of him made him feel terrified to the bone, as if he would be treated as fish food.
"Did you see it? Did you see it?" Chen Junming had long forgotten his manners and face. He dodged the strange school of fish chasing him in fear, and his voice changed: "There are blood fish on the ground! Lots of blood fish! There really is a ghost here!"
Shi Xi and Jiang Tong looked at him in confusion.
"Mr. Chen, we didn't see the blood fish. Are you too nervous?"
"Is this a joke too?"
"I'm not kidding, can't you see it?" Chen Junming pointed at the ground and said angrily, "The glass of juice turned into blood, and after it fell to the ground, it turned into a group of fish. The ground is full of blood!"
Shi Xi and Jiang Tong looked at each other with helpless expressions.
"Mr. Chen, this is my home. I am the one who encountered the ghost. Why are you the one who is so nervous?" Jiang Tong sighed, "I'll go get a broom and clean it up."
Chen Junming had no words to express his grievances. A more terrifying thought came to his mind. These blood fish were almost the same as the fish in the painting. He was the only one who could see the blood fish. What did that mean? He was the first person to encounter the painting ghost. The painting ghost was haunting him again!
Those strange fish were still chasing Chen Junming. Occasionally they would jump up from the ground and show him their sharp fangs. In order to avoid them, Chen Junming could only flee in a panic.
We need to get the wizard over here quickly! Chen Junming reached for his cell phone, but found that he hadn't taken it in his panic. It was on the dining table. Looking at the densely packed blood fish on the way to the dining table, Chen Junming's breathing almost stopped.
Chen Junming didn't dare to go back, and shouted to Shi Xi: "Hurry up and call the wizard, his phone number is ***...***."
He didn't dare let Shi Xi throw the phone, for fear that it would be swallowed by the blood fish in mid-air.
Shi Xi yawned and rubbed his eyelashes which were wet with tears: "Sorry, I didn't hear you clearly, what did you say?"
"..." Chen Junming was very angry and was about to repeat it when he saw Jiang Tong calmly walking past him with a broom, ignoring the blood on the ground and cleaning up the glass shards on the ground.
Shi Xi laughed and said, "Scumbags should stay in the trash can."
Jiang Tong nodded: "Who said it wasn't?"
Chen Junming had something to hide. When he heard these words, his heart skipped a beat. He always felt that they had other intentions. Did they already know what he had done?
The tingling pain at his fingertips brought Chen Junming back to his senses. He looked down and saw a bloody fish biting his left index finger!
He was shocked and tried to shake his hands off, but the blood fish's teeth seemed to be embedded in his bones. Not only could he not shake them off, but it also brought him even more severe pain. Chen Junming was so anxious that his eyes turned red. He grabbed the blood fish with his other hand and tried to pull it off.
Unexpectedly, this action triggered something even more terrifying. The fish actually went through his palm and into his skin! A fish-shaped bulge appeared on his arm, and the fish swam inside his body!
Chen Junming was so scared that his eyes rolled back and he fainted.
Jiang Tong squatted in front of Chen Junming and poked his arm with the broom handle: "Mr. Chen, are you dizzy?"
Chen Junming didn't move. Jiang Tong looked at Shi Xi: "He really fainted."
"You reap what you sow." Shi Xi did as Chen Junming wished and called the wizard: "Since Mr. Chen said there is a ghost here, let the professionals help him."
