On my way here, I set up my phone so that if I pressed a button, the text message I had already edited would be sent to Hu Ergou.
Actually, the reason I did this was all because of Hu Tudao. On the way here, I always felt that Hu Tudao was unreliable, careless in his actions, and loved to brag. For example, last time, he clearly didn't know how to exorcise ghosts, but he insisted on guaranteeing it, and in the end, he scared himself to death.
Ever since that incident, I've been more wary of Hu Tudao, because it concerns my life. So I made some preparations on my phone, and sure enough, they've finally come in handy.
I heard the notification sound from my phone in my pocket, indicating that the message had been successfully sent. But in this situation, I couldn't calm down at all. I didn't know if I would still be angry when Hu Ergou arrived.
I felt I couldn't just sit and wait to die, and I really wanted to run away, but my brain had already given the order, but my legs wouldn't move. To be precise, my lower body wouldn't move at all, as if my lower body didn't belong to me at all.
Cold sweat dripped down my forehead and cheeks, my teeth chattered uncontrollably, my whole body trembled, and my eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
I kept thinking to myself whether I could wait for Hu Ergou to come to my rescue. At this moment, Hu Ergou had become infinitely larger in my mind, just like my guardian angel.
Just then.
A cracking sound came from the ground, and I saw the bowl containing the offerings suddenly shatter, scattering the offerings all over the ground. It was as if something was slowly approaching me, crushing everything in its path.
The three incense sticks had burned down to three long and two short. I knew Fang Lei had arrived, but I couldn't see him.
"hey-hey!"
I heard a middle-aged man chuckle.
My heart skipped a beat, and my eyes darted around, but no matter how I looked, I still couldn't see Fang Lei.
"Are you Fang Lei?" I tried to ask, and strangely enough, this time I was able to speak.
"Zuo Changming, hehe, my new neighbor, shouldn't you come to my house as a guest?" A faint voice echoed from all around.
"Where are you? Come out and talk!" I tried, but found that my legs still wouldn't move, so I didn't care anymore and roared, "You vile, filthy thing! We have no grudge against each other, why are you trying to hurt me?"
"I'm right in front of you. Do you really want to see me? I'm just afraid that if I show up, you'll be scared to death on the spot, and then you won't be able to wait until tomorrow night."
Right in front of me?
My heart skipped a beat, and I looked carefully ahead, but I still couldn't see anything.
But just then...
In the dim blue light of the candle, I saw what appeared to be a figure in front of me, no more than 20 centimeters away. At that distance, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that we were face to face.
My face changed drastically instantly. I quickly closed my eyes and shouted, "Don't come any closer! Otherwise, once the master I invited arrives, she will beat you into oblivion!"
"Heh, mage?" A cold voice rang out in front of me, seemingly mocking and disdainful.
"The master I invited is very powerful. If you promise to let me go and never bother me again, I can let him go back. From now on, we'll keep to ourselves, okay?" At this moment, Hu Ergou was my greatest support. I believed that as long as Hu Ergou appeared, this filthy thing in front of me would definitely be dealt with by Hu Ergou.
"Heh, Zuo Changming, do you know why you're still alive and well?" the cold voice said slowly, "Because your time hasn't come yet."
I felt like this dirty thing was getting closer and closer to me, like its mouth was talking into my ear.
Although I was trembling with fear, in this state of extreme terror, a surge of anger suddenly welled up inside me. I abruptly opened my eyes and roared, "Fuck you! Did I rape your wife or something? Why do you have to kill me?"
After saying that, I suddenly froze, because the shadow in front of me had disappeared. Could it be like what the old folks in the village said, if you encounter something dirty, you should curse it, and maybe it won't dare to come near you?
But at that moment, I felt that the already cold surroundings became even colder, as if I were in an ice cave.
Suddenly, a person appeared out of thin air in front of me, or rather, it didn't look like a person, but more like a cold body.
It looked lifeless, its eyes were two black holes with clusters of blood-red flames leaping inside, its face was covered in lividity, and there was a black ligature mark on its neck, exactly the same as what I saw in dormitory six last night.
"You...you...you are Fang Lei?" I asked, my eyes wide and trembling.
"Hehe, didn't you already know?" Fang Lei licked his lips lightly with his scarlet tongue and said quietly.
"Why me of all people?" I asked in a trembling voice, terrified to the extreme.
"I hadn't noticed you before, but something on you guided me to find you." Fang Lei slowly moved closer to me, his withered nose almost touching mine.
I desperately wanted to move my head away, but no matter which way I turned, Fang Lei's body seemed to cling to me like a leech.
"Can you tell me what attracted you?" Anyway, I can't escape now. Even if I'm going to die, I want to die knowing why.
"I don't know, it's just some kind of guidance from the heavens," Fang Lei said slowly.
My heart sank to the bottom of a valley, and I thought I might die soon.
Suddenly, I remembered something, and hurriedly took out the talisman paper that Hu Ergou had given me from my pocket. With lightning speed, I imprinted the talisman on Fang Lei in front of me.
Just when I thought I could kill Fang Lei, a strange scene appeared. As soon as the talisman was stuck to Fang Lei's body, it turned black as if it had been stained with ink, and then it quickly burst into flames. The flames were like the flames of a candle, with a ghostly blue color.
In no time, the talisman was completely burned away, and the ashes slowly fell to the ground.
The glimmer of hope that had risen within me vanished with the falling ashes.
Damn it, Hu Ergou's talisman is completely useless. He probably just drew it casually out of boredom. He even told me it was blessed. Bless your mother!
It's been a long time since I sent that text message, but Hu Ergou still hasn't shown up. I don't know if he didn't see it or if something is holding him up.
Just when I was in utter despair, a voice came from behind me, a voice that sounded like heavenly music to me.
