Chapter 55: The Water Ghost Drags Bo Hanzhou as a Stand-in
Bo Hanzhou's eyes became deep and complicated, and his gaze swept across the yellow talisman in her hand, "What kind of talisman is that?"
Jiang Ci shook it, with a bright face: "It's a ghost-seeing talisman. As long as you carry it with you, you can see the world of the underworld."
There was no emotion on Bo Hanzhou's face, he just stared at the talisman, as if he was thinking about something.
Just when Jiang Ci thought he had calmly accepted the fact that there were ghosts in the world.
Bo Hanzhou asked her with a serious face.
"Then...are there ghosts here too?"
He looked normal on the outside, but his voice couldn't hide the slight tremor.
Jiang Ci couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Yes."
Bo Hanzhou's handsome face changed color, and he rushed to her side, looking around nervously, swallowing his saliva.
There are ghosts in broad daylight.
Don't ghosts in movies only come out at night?
Bo Hanzhou felt that she was trying to scare him on purpose.
"Why are you so close to me?" Jiang Ci teased him deliberately.
"I'm protecting you." He spoke confidently, his tone still trembling a little.
Jiang Ci stuffed the ghost-seeking talisman into his hand without saying a word.
Before Bo Hanzhou could react, he saw several ghost shadows slowly emerging on the lawn that was originally empty.
His pupils shrank dramatically and his expression was stunned. After realizing what it was, he stuffed the ghost-seeing talisman back into her arms without hesitation.
"I don't want this thing, you keep it for yourself!"
After the ghost-seeing talisman was returned to her, the ghost shadows on the lawn instantly faded and disappeared.
Just like in a horror movie!
Bo Hanzhou: "..."
He was really impressed by her!
I originally thought Jiang Ci was a psychopath like him, but it turns out that he can really see ghosts.
Were those dark shadows he could see before also ghosts?
Bo Hanzhou's brows were furrowed, and his worldview as a staunch atheist was completely overturned at this moment.
ghost……
There really are ghosts in the world!
He suddenly thought of the onset of his illness... No, not the onset of his illness, but the scene when he took the ghost-seeing talisman she gave him and saw bloody handprints all over the house...
A trace of pain crept into Bo Hanzhou's eyes, and he asked her with difficulty: "How many ghosts are there in my house?"
Jiang Ci said faintly: "How many? You think too much."
Bo Hanzhou breathed a sigh of relief, "If there aren't a few, then what's the one?"
Could it be the bloody ghost he saw?
Jiang Ci said in a low and sinister tone: "The ghost that has been to your house can go around Jiangbei three times."
Bo Hanzhou took a breath of cold air: "?"
"You've seen it all, those bloody handprints are obviously not something a ghost could have done. There are many, big and small, of men, women, young and old." Jiang Ci looked at his pale face and smiled, "Don't be afraid, I'll help you."
Bo Hanzhou forced a stiff smile on his handsome face: "Miss Jiang, you are so kind. Thank you and your family."
He couldn't imagine that there were so many ghosts in the house where he had lived since he was a child.
What is his home?
Is it a rest stop for souls, or a disco for evil spirits?
He felt uncomfortable when he thought about sleeping with countless bloody handprints every day.
Wait, Jiang Ci went to his house just now, but he neither drank water nor sat down.
Now that I think about it, she must have seen the bloody handprints on the cup and the sofa. Who wouldn't be disgusted?
Or maybe she had foresight.
"Now you know I'm not crazy, right?" Jiang Ci said seriously, "I came to you to ask for a favor. In exchange, I will help you clean your house and give you a talisman to ward off evil spirits. How about that?"
Bo Hanzhou was still in the midst of his world view collapse, so he waved his hand and said, "I want to calm down first, we'll talk later."
He walked to the lake alone to calm down.
Jiang Ci: “…”
Why go to the lakeside?
The water ghost was less than five meters away from him.
Bo Hanzhou's mind was in a mess. Thinking about all the things he had experienced over the years and the lingering blood corpse, it now seemed that everything could be explained by metaphysics.
Jiang Ci, it seems that she is really capable. It was indeed narrow-minded of him to have misunderstood her as a psychopath before.
Bo Hanzhou sorted out his thoughts and was about to turn around and talk to her.
Suddenly, the lake began to ripple.
He took a closer look, and his heart instantly jumped up.
Because there was a big golden chain floating towards him slowly on the water.
It looked like an invisible person wearing a big gold chain was swimming towards him, which was creepy.
"Jiang Ci!" Bo Hanzhou just opened his mouth.
The water splashed up all of a sudden.
Then he felt as if his ankle was suddenly grabbed by an invisible hand and he was dragged into the water with force.
Bo Hanzhou kicked several times towards the void.
But it didn't work.
The invisible force was so powerful that it could drag a bison into the water.
Bo Hanzhou struggled a few times but failed to break free, and instead his lower body was dragged into the water.
Just at this moment.
A wooden stick fell from the sky and hit the water with two bangs.
Bo Hanzhou only felt the hands that were binding his ankles suddenly retract.
He climbed out of the water quickly and swiftly.
Jiang Ci was holding a thick wooden stick and looked at him with a smile: "Are you okay?"
"It's okay." Bo Hanzhou looked down and saw a dark blue mark left by five fingers on the fair ankle.
"There's something in the water..." He tried to calm his panic, but his trembling voice still revealed it.
Jiang Ci held back his laughter. Normally, he looked like a naughty boy and he was thought to be fearless.
It seems that Mr. Bo, who is fearless, is afraid of ghosts.
"Yes, there are water ghosts in the lake." Jiang Ci glanced at the green-haired water ghost that had retreated and shouted, "Come here."
The green-haired water ghost touched his swollen head with a wronged look, and said with a resentful expression, "Put down the stick first."
Jiang Ci narrowed his eyes slightly, "Hmm?"
The Green-haired Water Ghost saw her beating up hooligans here last time, but he was so busy watching the show that he forgot to bring a stand-in.
It was rare for him to find a suitable and pleasing substitute, but he was beaten twice as soon as he was dragged into the water.
This girl is not an ordinary person.
It can fight both people and ghosts.
It hurts so much when a stick hits me.
"I don't care. I won't come over unless you throw away the stick." The green-haired water ghost said resentfully.
Jiang Ci threw the stick away with some amusement.
The water ripples again.
Bo Hanzhou looked in amazement as the big gold chain floated over again.
"Do you want to see a water ghost?" Jiang Ci asked him.
Bo Hanzhou wanted to look but didn't dare to. Finally, curiosity overcame reason and he nodded.
Jiang Ci gave him the ghost-seeing talisman.
Bo Hanzhou clenched it tightly in his hand.
In an instant, a swollen, extremely pale ghost face appeared in the water.
"Oh my god!" He was startled. This face was really much scarier than the ghosts in horror movies.
The green-haired water ghost smiled and greeted him, "Hey handsome guy, do you like swimming? Do you like soaking in the water? Do you like the feeling of being cool all over in the hot summer? Do you want to know more about professional water ghosts?"
