Chapter 11: The Truth About Death
When Su Hua felt the blood on his hand, he realized that something was wrong.
It is impossible to go back, we can only move forward.
He tried to find a scientific reason to explain the situations he encountered.
Strange sounds, a door that can't be opened, and hands covered in blood.
These plots that only appear in horror stories are now happening to him.
He encountered the same dilemma as Fu Ciyan. He could only hear voices at the beginning, and then there were intermittent cries.
Su Hua felt uneasy as he walked in the corridor. He always felt that something was about to pop up suddenly, and the crying made him even more nervous.
"Someone must have left their tape recorder on."
He comforted himself in this way, but the endless corridor could not be explained by science.
Suddenly, footsteps sounded behind him, the temperature around him dropped suddenly, and his left shoulder sank. He thought it was Fu Ciyan who subconsciously turned around.
The bloody face suddenly appeared face to face with him.
Su Hua yelled: "Ah——"
He felt something sink in his pocket, and without thinking about what it was, he grabbed it and threw it at the ghost.
After doing all this, Su Hua turned around and ran, pinching his arm as he ran.
He must be dreaming, otherwise how could he see a ghost?
But the pain in his arm told him that it was all real.
Frightened, he finally saw the end of the corridor and the stairs leading to the next floor were right in front of him.
He stretched out a foot and stepped on it without hesitation. When he was about to step on the second step, his clothes were suddenly pulled by someone and Jiang Chu's voice came to his ears.
"What are you doing?"
Su Hua suddenly came back to his senses.
There was no staircase in front of me, but a dark window.
At this time, he almost leaned out of the window. If there was no one pulling him from behind, he would have fallen down.
Jiang Chu and Fu Ciyan just teleported over and saw Su Hua about to jump out of the window.
Jiang Chu hurriedly pulled the person back.
Su Hua collapsed on the ground, looking at the two people who suddenly appeared in shock: "When did I get to the third floor?"
He had clearly been wandering around the first floor.
Jiang Chu: "Where's the talisman I gave you?"
If Jiang Chu hadn't felt that he had lost the talisman, he wouldn't have been so anxious to draw the teleportation talisman to find him.
Su Hua subconsciously touched his pocket and found it was empty.
He instantly remembered what he had used to hit the ghost, and his face turned pale: "I thought it was a stone and threw it out."
"How could I possibly confuse the talisman paper with the stone!"
Su Hua also realized that something was wrong with his situation. Having seen ghosts with his own eyes, he had to believe that these mysterious things really existed.
Jiang Chu understood: "This ghost is quite smart. He even knew to make you throw away the yellow talisman first."
She took out two more yellow talismans and gave them to Su Hua, and told them: "You step back, don't leave me within three steps."
Fu Ciyan had already seen Jiang Chu's strength and obeyed him obediently.
Su Hua had just been saved by Jiang Chu. He now understood that the ghost was afraid of Jiang Chu's yellow talisman and therefore did not attack him at the beginning.
Jiang Chu grabbed two yellow talismans, lit them, and quickly threw them into the corner.
The golden flames suddenly grew larger, and shrill cries echoed in their ears.
It was the first time that Su Hua saw Jiang Chu take action. Although he had expected it, he was still shocked speechless when he saw it with his own eyes.
"She...she, what did she use to light the fire?"
Fu Ciyan patted his fussy friend and said with the air of a seasoned veteran: "It's okay, you'll get used to it."
Su Hua was so jealous, why wasn't Jiang Chu his sister-in-law!
Seeing that the fire was almost burnt out, Jiang Chu snapped his fingers, and the flames gradually died down, revealing a thin soul.
Su Hua was stunned. He ignored Jiang Chu's instructions and rushed forward: "Xiaoxiao, you..."
Jiang Chu understood, this was Su Hua's deskmate Han Xiao.
Today happened to be Han Xiao's seventh day after her death, so she was still conscious when she turned into a ghost, but not much, otherwise she would not have attacked Su Hua.
Han Xiao had obviously just regained consciousness: "Am I not in the classroom? How..."
Seeing Su Hua, she ran forward and tried to touch him, but passed right through him.
Han Xiao then noticed his body, which was as thin as a piece of white paper: "My body..."
Su Hua's face was filled with sorrow, but he still told her the truth: "You jumped off the building seven days ago."
Jiang Chu: "Have you ever met anyone special, like a Taoist priest?"
If Han Xiao committed suicide, her resentment wouldn't be so strong, and she didn't remember anything, obviously someone had erased her memory.
The formation below turns the souls of those who died unjustly within seven days into evil spirits, which all indicate that someone is raising ghosts in the school.
During the day, the Yang energy is at its peak, the aura is mottled, and the ghost energy is not easy to detect. But once it is night and the Yang energy is gone to suppress it, these things in the dark will come out and cause trouble.
Han Xiao's memory still remains at that afternoon. She felt like she had turned into a ghost when she woke up.
"My grandmother, the only person in my family who supported my studies, died, and my stepmother started arranging for me to be married off in exchange for a dowry. To continue my studies and pay for my tuition, I worked in a feng shui shop owned by a man named Hu."
A Feng Shui master named Hu?
Jiang Chu thought that this morning, Mu Jianguo went to see a master named Hu.
Fu Ciyan was shocked: "Is it Master Hu Ziqian?"
Jiang Chu looked at him.
"That's all I know." Fu Ciyan continued, "Last month, a child in our compound inexplicably fell into a coma for several weeks. The family sought help from various famous doctors, but none of them could help."
"Master Hu said the child was haunted by a ghost, so he performed a ritual by the pond. Strangely enough, the child woke up on the spot."
Pond practice!
Jiang Chu was basically certain that the person who set up the formation in the pond and the school was Hu Ziqian.
Jiang Chu was very familiar with the name Hu Ziqian. After all, Jiang Chu almost died at his hands in his previous life!
But in the end she killed him.
No wonder she felt a familiar aura in the formation. Only Hu Ziqian could have such a disgusting aura.
Han Xiao nodded: "Yes, it's him."
"My last memory was there. I went to the store to help out as usual that day, and he gave me a white jade pendant, saying it was destined for me and would help increase my fortune."
Jiang Chu: "Is there anything special about that pendant? Or, did you feel anything strange when you got it?"
Han Xiao: "It's cold. What I feel in my hand is not jade, but a piece of ice. But I have never seen jade before, let alone touched it, so I don't know the difference."
"Your soul has been refined by him." Jiang Chu sighed, "You have an extremely Yin body, a natural Yin-gathering constitution. The moment you stepped into the Feng Shui shop, you were already targeted by him."
"And I gave you that piece of cold jade so that your soul wouldn't be taken away by the underworld after you die."
"However, since you just became a fierce ghost today and haven't yet committed the sin of killing, you can still enter the cycle of reincarnation after being burned by me just now."
This is also the difference between Han Xiao and Xiao He. If a ghost really takes a life, there is no turning back.
Han Xiao didn't expect that he would have another chance to reincarnate. Ghosts have no tears, so they can only bow over and over again: "Thank you, thank you."
In the end, I even wanted to kneel down.
"No need to do that. This is my duty." Jiang Chu gently raised his hand and asked her to stand up straight. "If you are ready, tell me and I will open the ghost gate to let you reincarnate."
Su Hua came here tonight just to investigate the truth behind Han Xiao's death. Now that he knows the truth, he feels mixed emotions.
Han Xiao forced a smile and said, "I can't copy your homework from now on, deskmate."
Su Hua's eyes were red, and he had countless words in his heart that he wanted to say, but he was speechless.
Finally, I just want to say: "No matter where you are, take good care of yourself."
Although the two couldn't actually touch, they still hugged each other as a final farewell.
"Sister Jiang, I'm ready."
Jiang Chu formed seals with his hands, and a dazzling golden light emanated from his body. A golden magic circle slowly rose from the ground.
A figure suddenly appeared at the doorway, speaking in a gloomy voice and with a disdainful tone: "I thought the person who could break my formation was some big shot, but it turns out to be just a girl who hasn't even grown all her hair yet."
A black energy attack fiercely hit the magic circle...
