Chapter 1187: Subduing a Great Ghost (2)
“Holy sh*t, there really is a ghost!” Yao Zhao was brave and ran over curiously. When he saw the ugly ghost thing outside the door, his vision turned black and he cursed in fright. His whole body turned soft and he had to hold onto the back of a chair for support so that he wouldn’t collapse to the floor.
At that moment, even Su Yu, Yu Bo, Chen Jin, Old Yu and the others, who were mentally prepared, screamed in fright at the appearance of the ghost thing outside the bus door. They couldn’t breathe and their vision turned black with horror as they almost fainted.
Ji Mingshu fainted from fright, and Yu Bo hugged her tightly.
A few of the braver students couldn’t help but scream themselves hoa.r.s.e. The more cowardly girls and boys fainted from fright when they saw the thing outside the door.
The bus was in chaos as all sorts of screams rang out
Chen Jin and Old Yu were also scared out of their wits at that moment. Their faces were deathly white and their minds were blank with panic. Their eyes were filled with fear as their legs trembled and they clung onto the back of the chairs for support. Even if the two teachers wanted to maintain order in the bus, they were powerless at that moment.
If they had run into some other type of danger, they would still have been able to remain calm
However, the supernatural incident tonight was completely beyond their imagination and blew apart their worldview. Hence, in addition to being stupefied and horrified, their minds were blank with shock.
The only thought they had was: There really were terrifying things like ghosts in this world.
Thinking of what happened to Cai Xuanqiao and Jiang Tongle, Chen Jin and Old Yu felt their limbs turn cold. They were terrified. Would all of them die here tonight?
...
Or even turn into terrifying things like Jiang Tongle and Cai Xuanqiao?
At that thought, Chen Jin and Old Yu’s eyes rolled back and they looked like they were about to faint from fright.
The more people fainted, the more disadvantageous it would be. Chi Shuyan casually placed her hands on Chen Jin and Old Yu’s shoulders, signaling for the two teachers to calm down.
After feeling horrified, Su Yu, Yao Zhao and Yu Bo also thought of Chi Shuyan and hurriedly looked to her for help.
When Old Yu saw Chi Shuyan, he was even more stirred up than if he were seeing his own parents. He was so agitated that he almost cried. Recalling how she was the one who had predicted things at the very beginning, and thinking that this student might really be capable, he incoherently said, “Shu… Shuyan, what… what should we do? What… what should we do?”
Chen Jin, Su Yu and Yao Zhao also looked at her in a daze. Many people on the bus had already started to cry. They didn’t dare cry out loud, and only whimpered softly. They hugged each other in twos and threes, their faces filled with fear.
Seeing that the gap in the bus door was getting wider and wider, Chi Shuyan didn’t bother to say anything to the others. She just told them to get out of the way, then took out a few Pure Yang Talismans and threw them at the bloated hand. When the talismans touched the hand, they flashed with a golden light, and the hand started to emit black smoke as it burned. Cai Xuanqiao suddenly howled in pain outside, and the bus shook.
Not long after, the charred hand jerked back, and the ghost thing disappeared in front of everyone in the blink of an eye.
It was just that before that thing left, many people on the bus clearly saw its indignant, resentful, and terrifying gaze. Thinking of that ghost thing’s resentful and sinister eyes, everyone on the bus shuddered violently and didn’t come back to their senses for a long time.
Before everyone could react, Chi Shuyan walked over to the driver and calmly pointed the way.
Ten minutes later, Driver Zhang finally saw the lights of the city in the distance and was excited. When the bus stopped on the field behind the university, many people were still in disbelief and didn’t dare get out.
As soon as the driver opened the doors, someone screamed in horror about ghosts. It was obvious that after escaping death, everyone was on edge and scared out of their wits.
Chi Shuyan could only get off the bus first. Chen Jin, Old Yu, Su Yu, Yao Zhao and the others followed suit.
Chi Shuyan was only responsible for getting everyone back to school. She also wanted to use the Tracking Talisman to find and subdue that ghost thing.
Chen Jin, Su Yu, Yao Zhao and the others thought of what happened tonight, and obviously had something to say to her. However, they held back for a moment and remained silent. Those who had underestimated her before now stared at her with wide eyes, as if they were looking at something rare from outer s.p.a.ce.
Seeing that almost everyone on the bus was fine, Chi Shuyan was in a good mood. Seeing Teacher Chen, Teacher Yu, Su Yu and the others staring at her curiously, her lips curved up. “What’s the matter?”
As soon as Chi Shuyan spoke, everyone else subconsciously shook their heads.
They thought of how she had dealt with that ghost thing earlier.
Chen Jin and Old Yu, the two adult teachers, were very impressed. The two of them even felt very guilty that they hadn’t helped Chi Shuyan much when Cai Xuanqiao scolded her because of Jiang Tongle, and just thought that Chi Shuyan was scaring people.
The two teachers didn’t dare imagine what would have happened if Shuyan hadn’t taken action to get that thing out of the bus. If it wasn’t for her, they probably wouldn’t be alive now.
Thinking this, not only did Old Yu and Chen Jin s.h.i.+ver violently, even their grief over Jiang Tongle and Cai Xuanqiao faded a little.
Su Yu, Yao Zhao and the others also thought the same, and shuddered violently. They were even more grateful for the talismans Chi Shuyan had given them. If it wasn’t for her, they might have died in the river even before getting back on the bus today.
At the thought of what they had experienced tonight, everyone just felt that it was very magical and strange. However, when they thought of how there really were ghosts in this world, their hearts still thumped with fear.
Yao Zhao was the most curious and couldn’t help but ask, “Shu… Shuyan, what… what on earth was that thing? Are… are there really ghosts in this world?”
The group had just encountered a ‘ghost,’ and when they heard Yao Zhao mention this word, they broke out in a cold sweat. Chen Jin still had a lot to say to Shuyan, but looking at the students who had yet to come down from the bus, he told Shuyan to wait for him for a moment.
Since the ghost thing had a Tracking Talisman on it, Chi Shuyan wasn’t in a hurry to leave. Seeing that the students on the bus weren’t in good condition and some of them had fainted, she took the initiative to help the two teachers do a headcount. After confirming that only Jiang Tongle and Cai Xuanqiao were missing, Chen Jin and Old Yu heaved sighs of relief and had everyone help carry the unconscious students to the school infirmary. In the eyes of the two teachers, almost all of these unconscious students had fainted from fright. It wasn’t a big deal; they just needed to rest for a while.
When the rest of the students came back to their senses, they stumbled down from the bus under the guidance of the two teachers and left together.
Su Yu, Yao Zhao, Huang Shanming and Mao Di didn’t leave. Yu Bo originally wanted to leave, but when Ji Mingshu woke up not long after, he didn’t take her away. Knowing that there were ghosts in this world and that the talismans in Chi Shuyan’s hands were useful, he had some selfish motives.
As for why Su Yu, Yao Zhao, Huang Shanming and Mao Di didn’t leave, only they knew.
After they dismissed everyone, Chen Jin and Old Yu finally couldn’t help but discuss Jiang Tongle and Cai Xuanqiao. At the mention of the two, the two teachers looked very troubled. Something had happened to a teacher and a student on this trip.
Moreover, the teacher in question was Cai Xuanqiao, who was in a relations.h.i.+p with Director Huang. Chen Jin and Old Yu felt a sense of loss and were very upset. After all, one was their colleague and the other was their student.
The two of them were good teachers. They would feel terrible if anything happened to anyone. Thinking of how that ghost thing had stabbed Cai Xuanqiao in the stomach, the two didn’t hold out much hope for Cai Xuanqiao and Jiang Tongle’s survival. In the end, Chen Jin still couldn’t help but ask directly, “Shu… Shuyan, Teacher Cai and Jiang Tongle…?”
Chen Jin didn’t finish his sentence, unsure how to phrase his question. Chi Shuyan didn’t have to think to know what Chen Jin wanted to ask. She said, “Their fates were inauspicious!” The chance of survival was zero.
As soon as she said that, everyone understood what she really meant, and their faces turned pale. Old Yu still wanted to ask more questions, but Director Huang’s voice suddenly rang out. “You’re back so late?” There was some dissatisfaction in his tone.
However, thinking about how Cai Xuanqiao was also among them, Director Huang suppressed his temper. He looked around a few times, but didn’t see Cai Xuanqiao. He asked Chen Jin and Old Yu in confusion, “Where’s Teacher Cai? Where is she? I’m looking for her!”
As soon as Director Huang finished speaking, Chen Jin and Old Yu’s faces changed. Just as the two of them were about to explain that they had encountered a ghost, a familiar figure walked over from not far away.
There were still a few dim yellow lights that were lit on the sports field. Under the light, everyone was horrified, shocked and in disbelief when they saw Cai Xuanqiao’s stiff, familiar face. Chi Shuyan narrowed her eyes as Cai Xuanqiao’s voice rang out. “I’m here!”
