Chapter 156 Miasma
The imagined pain did not come.
A drop of warm blood fell on his face.
When he opened his eyes, Shu Chengxi saw his mother standing in front of him with her arms raised.
My sister dug her nails into my mother's arm.
My mother's expression was still numb, with a strange smile still hanging on the corner of her mouth, but her eyes were still shedding tears, and a look of confusion flashed in her eyes.
Maybe she was also curious about why she subconsciously stood in front of him.
My sister was furious. She pulled out her nails and screamed, "You are all bad, you all should die! If you die, I will find the next person who can be my family!"
"That doesn't seem to work."
In the living room, the girl's cold and clear voice instantly brought Shu Chengxi back to his confused consciousness.
Shu Chengxi and his "sister" looked towards the source of the sound at the same time.
In the dim light and turbid air of the living room, the girl was wearing a simple T-shirt and casual pants, holding a long knife half a person's height in her hand.
Amidst the biting cold light, the sharp rays are filled with a power that brings peace of mind.
'Sister' immediately reacted and stepped back.
But Gu Ji's long sword had already killed him.
With a light blow of the knife, the 'sister' revealed her true form.
Her long hair fluttered in the air, and her limbs quickly climbed up the wall like a gecko, and her head turned 180 degrees to stare in Gu Ji's direction.
Shu Chengxi almost cried. He said in a hoarse voice, "Master Gu Tianshi, how do you know where I live?"
"The location of your house is easy to calculate, but she has placed a barrier around it. I didn't need to rush over to resolve this matter."
Gu Ji tilted his head slightly and looked at the unknown 'person', with a hint of interest in his eyes.
"She...she's a ghost, right?"
"No, she is... miasma."
"Miasma?" Shu Chengxi was puzzled.
Gu Ji did not explain. There are many other things in this world besides ghosts and monsters, and it is difficult to explain them.
This miasma has become a major threat, responsible for at least ten lives.
Her face began to change rapidly and became blurred at this moment, as if she was weighing whether she could beat Gu Ji.
This miasma is very smart. When Gu Ji and Shu Chengxi were talking, she had already started looking for a way out, but Gu Ji had reinforced the barrier here, and the miasma had nowhere to escape.
Realizing this, Miasma started to get furious.
The whole house was filled with her shrill screams, which would distort and blur one's consciousness.
Gu Ji crumpled up two pieces of talisman paper and stuffed them into Shu Chengxi's ears, then picked up the knife and attacked again.
Her movements were quick and decisive.
When she got in front of the miasma, she immediately begged for mercy: "I can tell you that your parents are - uh -!"
Miasma slowly raised his hands in disbelief and covered his neck.
She had no blood, but instead emitted miasma.
Gu Ji raised his hand and used magic to gather the miasma around him to ensure that it would not disperse.
"You... eh... you don't want to... know about your parents..."
"I want to know, but I won't believe any miasma or evil spirit."
As the saying goes, ghost stories cannot be trusted.
The words of those who have transformed into human form due to miasma cannot be trusted.
Gu Ji was sure that the miasma in front of him did not recognize him.
She smiled. "I hate people lying to me, and I also hate people prying into my heart and memories. Miasma can peek into memories, and through synaesthesia, they possess the memories of the person being spied on, and even replace them. Is that how you replaced Shu Chengmin?"
A slightly panicked expression appeared on the blurred face.
"Are you scared?" Gu Ji pulled out the knife and reached out to touch its face.
The touch of that face was very strange, not like human skin, but more like...animal's.
Miasma's body shrank rapidly, and more than a dozen souls emerged from its body.
There are both men and women.
There are even kittens and puppies, and... a horse.
Before they disappeared, they all reached out their hands and stroked Gu Ji's hair to express their gratitude.
The miasma eventually turned into gas, which was collected by Gu Ji into the talisman paper and turned into ashes.
Shu Chengxi was so scared that he almost fainted, but when he looked up, he saw a familiar face.
That is Shu Chengmin's face.
He was startled at first and quickly took several steps back.
Leaning against the sofa, he looked at the somewhat bewildered Shu Chengmin, and suddenly came to his senses. He spoke in a trembling voice: "Sister...sister?"
"Shu Chengmin's five senses were closed by herself. She died tragically. In order to ensure her soul's immortality, she used this method. Her memory was also plundered by the miasma. Now she doesn't know who you are, nor does she know who she is." Gu Ji said.
Shu Chengxi's nose felt sore.
His heart began to ache. "Minmin, don't you remember me? When she died, was it very painful?"
"It hurts, but there's no need to pretend here." Gu Ji's expression remained indifferent.
Shu Chengxi's body stiffened.
"I didn't come here to save you, but to let her leave without regrets." Gu Ji looked at Shu Chengmin, "From my point of view, she is a very talented person. When she was on the verge of death, she used her talent without anyone teaching her to block her five senses, allowing her to stay in the human world as a soul without turning into a ghost."
"She was stripped of her consciousness and memories by the miasma, and then forcibly implanted with someone else's consciousness by the miasma, becoming another person. Over the past few years, she has always known that she is like being trapped in a shell, unable to do anything, but she still does her best to do her job."
Shu Chengxi burst into tears.
Shu's mother, who was gradually waking up, looked like she was about to collapse.
Gu Ji walked up to Shu Chengxi indifferently, squatted down, and took the mobile phone from his pocket.
"Give it back to me!" Shu Chengxi suddenly wanted to snatch it back fiercely.
Gu Ji raised his foot, stepped on the person, opened WeChat, and accurately found a WeChat account with no notes in the WeChat list.
WeChat ID is: Min.
Gu Ji turned the phone over and asked, "Is this Shu Chengmin's WeChat?"
Shu Chengxi suddenly yelled like crazy: "Give me back my phone! Don't take advantage of yourself because you are a so-called master and do whatever you want. You are breaking into a private house! What are you doing——"
The Yama Knife was pressed against his neck, his face turned pale, and his screams stopped abruptly.
Gu Ji opened WeChat and did not delete the message. What caught his eyes was Shu Chengmin's cry for help and Shu Chengxi's indifference.
Shu Chengmin: [Brother, please save me. I don’t want to go to the mental hospital. I’m not sick. I didn’t see it wrong!]
Shu Chengmin: [Brother, they tied me to the bed and shocked me. It hurts so much. She came to me again and said she would take my place and that she would kill you all. It's okay if you don't come to save me, but if I ever get out, don't believe anything I say.]
She sent many messages.
But Shu Chengxi only responded coldly.
His last sentence was extremely cold: "Tomorrow I will have the doctor confiscate your phone. If you continue to talk nonsense like this, you are not worthy of being my sister."
