Chapter 90 Fallen Angel (3)
“Zhou Ruoruo…” A hoarse, ethereal female voice escaped from “Jiang Yan’s” mouth, filled with endless sorrow and questioning, “Why did you lie to me? Why… did you want me to die?”
Zhou Ruoruo's body trembled violently, and she immediately said, "No...it wasn't me!"
“Xu Sisi…” Jiang Yan ignored her, her gaze shifting to the writhing shadow. “It’s so hot… Why… did you listen to them…”
The dark shadow turned red again and churned violently, almost collapsing on the spot!
“Hong… Jiadu…” Jiang Yan’s voice suddenly turned shrill as she looked at the giant rat.
"It's so cold and so dark..."
Why did you bury me... I'm not dead yet!
The last sentence was almost a piercing cry.
The rat's huge body jolted violently, and the shovel in its hand crashed to the ground with a loud bang.
Lin Chujiu's "acting" and the aura emanating from Jiang Yan's belongings successfully touched their deepest memories and sense of guilt from when they were human.
Beneath the monstrous exterior, the sense of morality that had never truly dissipated was caught off guard by this sudden "victim's questioning," plunging into chaos and inner struggle.
But this chaos did not last long.
Zhou Ruoruo was the first to react.
"It's fake...you're fake! Jiang Yan is long dead! Her soul has vanished!"
Zhou Ruoruo let out a piercing shriek, her huge body trembled, and countless green tentacles appeared, carrying an even more frenzied killing intent as she fiercely stabbed at Lin Chujiu!
"You're playing tricks! Go to hell!"
The black shadow that Xu Sisi had conjured seemed to be awakened by the shriek, and the darkness condensed again, becoming even thicker and more dangerous.
The rat in the distance slowly raised its shovel, its eyes, the size of mung beans, locking onto Lin Chujiu.
The impersonation was exposed!
Or rather, simply "questioning" is not enough to resolve the deep-seated resentment and madness; on the contrary, it may enrage them and make them decide to completely destroy this "fake product" and everything related to it!
Lin Chujiu's heart sank; she knew the most dangerous moment had arrived.
However, this is also the most crucial moment.
She gripped the last talisman in her hand tightly, her body tense as she looked around.
Where should we run next?
However, just as the three monsters were about to launch their fatal attack—
Mutation and regeneration!
It didn't come from the last talisman tightly clutched in Lin Chujiu's hand, nor from Bai Yingfeng and Pei Yu, who were poised to pounce from the corner.
Instead, it came from the center of this courtyard, from the "Gathering Yin and Summoning Ghosts Talisman" that Lin Chujiu had drawn before.
Given the special circumstances at the time, and with all the necessary materials available this time, how could Lin Chujiu have only drawn three breath-holding talismans?
She also used her mother's special trick, the "Gathering Yin and Summoning Ghost Talisman," and asked Pei Yu and Bai Yingfeng to stick it around the teaching building while they were hiding.
At the center of the talisman array, she burned Jiang Yan's diary from her lifetime, causing the talisman array to only summon and help one ghost of Jiang Yan.
At this moment, the rune array seemed to be activated by the frenzied killing intent of the three monsters!
"Buzz—!!"
On the ground, with Lin Chujiu standing at the center, a complex array pattern about three meters in diameter, outlined by faint yin energy, suddenly lit up!
The array's light was dim, yet it possessed a pull that pointed directly to the source.
It is calling out to Jiang Yan.
"ah--"
A woman's scream, a hundred times more shrill, painful, and venomous than Zhou Ruoruo's, seemed to explode from the depths of the earth!
The three monsters' attacks froze abruptly the moment that scream rang out, as if they had hit an invisible wall of sighs!
Immediately afterwards, at the point where the array's light was at its brightest, the air stopped violently twisting and tearing, and a figure staggered out, as if forcibly dragged out.
It was no longer the ghost that had been hiding inside Zhou Ruoruo's body.
This is a clearer, yet more terrifying, version of "Jiang Yan"!
She was still wearing that old school uniform, but it was covered in stains, tears, and charred marks.
On the exposed skin, bruises and scratches can be seen.
And patches of burns from the fire.
Her long hair was disheveled and stuck to her forehead and cheeks, her face was a deathly gray, but her eyes burned with a resentment and hatred that could burn everything!
That's the real Jiang Yan!
Once she had regained her footing, Jiang Yan suddenly looked up, her gaze like an icy blade, sweeping fiercely over the three monsters.
The venom in his eyes, almost solidified into a tangible black aura, made the three monsters tremble.
“It’s you…” Jiang Yan began, her voice hoarse, each word uttered as if she were weeping blood, “Zhou Ruoruo, Xu Sisi, Hongjiadu!”
The three monsters whose names she called out trembled violently in unison!
Zhou Ruoruo's tentacles curled up, Xu Sisi's shadowy figure tumbled and stopped, and the rats in Hongjiadu stiffened.
As they "looked" at Jiang Yan, who was a hundred times more real than the previous ghosts, a sense of shock, stemming from their very souls, welled up within them.
Standing at the edge of the formation, Lin Chujiu's lips curved upwards almost imperceptibly, revealing a relieved and victorious smile.
It's done!
Her risky gamble paid off!
Even when she decided to impersonate Jiang Yan and question her, she didn't expect that she could truly resolve the issue of these three resentful monsters through mere imitation and words.
Questioning is meant to provoke them and stir up their confused consciousness.
The real killing move was Jiang Yan's belongings and the Yin-gathering and ghost-summoning talisman he had drawn!
What she really wants is either the monster's repentance or for the real "victim" to come forward!
Now it seems the results are even better than she expected.
"Why?" Jiang Yan staggered forward, her gray fingers suddenly rising and pointing directly at Zhou Ruoruo, her venomous gaze almost piercing through her.
"I confided in you, you said we were friends, you said you would help me! Why did you turn around and join them... in cursing me?"
Zhou Ruoruo's green body trembled violently, and she was unable to organize any effective words to refute him.
Jiang Yan abruptly turned to the churning black shadow, her eyes burning with a hatred that seemed to turn into a cold flame:
"Xu Sisi, you're afraid of them, afraid of Zhou Ruoruo, afraid of Pei Yu... so you're helping them bully me?"
You were so smug about burning me with a lighter, weren't you? Seeing me cry and scream, did you feel less pathetic?
The shadowy figure trembled wildly, seemingly trying to explain, but couldn't utter a single word.
Finally, Jiang Yan's gaze fell upon the giant rat. A deeper rage almost instantly overwhelmed it!
"Hongjiadu".
She said slowly, "You always hide behind them...you don't talk, you just do things."
They tell you to hold me down, so you hold me down. Pei Yu tells you to find a rope, so you find a rope.
Finally... finally they got tired of playing with me and asked you to clean things up... and you helped them kill me again.
The giant rat's eyes, the size of mung beans, suddenly contracted.
Jiang Yan's words suddenly became urgent:
"When you handed me the shovel, I even winked at you for help. I wasn't dead yet back then!"
As she spoke the last word, tears of blood welled up in Jiang Yan's eyes.
This final accusation was so poignant that it almost shattered the last shred of pretense that Hongjiadu had maintained.
The giant rat clutched its head in pain with its paws.
Jiang Yan's questioning was heart-wrenching, each word dripping with blood and each sentence piercing the heart.
The evil deeds they committed were laid bare before them, bloody and unavoidable, forcing them to see and acknowledge them.
"repent?"
Jiang Yan looked at the agonizing, chaotic monster, a twisted smile slowly spreading across her ashen face. "Will you repent? Does the word 'repentance' even exist in your dictionary?"
"No," she smiled miserably, but the resentment around her surged like a tide. The power enhanced by the array made her soul form almost tangible, and her boundless magic power momentarily overwhelmed the three monsters!
"Since you won't repent... then do as you did to me—"
Jiang Yan's remnant soul's eyes were completely consumed by black and red resentment. She grinned, revealing an extremely chilling smile, "Come and experience it for yourself!"
You like Bahrainis? Then come and experience what it's like to be bullied.
Before she finished speaking, she moved!
The target is Zhou Ruoruo, who was the closest and the first to react!
Jiang Yan's figure transformed into a black line, instantly crashing into the cluster of tentacles that Zhou Ruoruo was waving!
"hiss--"
