1712 Resolution (3)
The blood-red coffin lid immediately exploded into pieces with a bang, and wood shavings flew in all directions. If one listened carefully, they would hear m.u.f.fled howling. Chi Shuyan looked over and saw the hideous faces on the coffin struggling, as if to break free, when a huge wave of black qi suddenly exploded and covered the coffin before quickly dissipating.
The howls grew weaker and weaker, and Chi Shuyan’s vision shook again. By the time she came back to her senses, she was back in Yuan Yuan’s apartment.
Chi Shuyan glanced at the furnis.h.i.+ngs around her and confirmed this really wasn’t an illusion this time. The curtains were closed, but the black furnis.h.i.+ngs around her were familiar. Although the place was empty, Chi Shuyan didn’t let her guard down; conversely, she became even more vigilant. Her eyes were sharp as they swept over her surroundings.
At that moment, there was a bang, and something suddenly crashed down in the middle of the room. Chi Shuyan glanced at it. Who else could it be but Gu Yunzheng? He had obviously destroyed the illusion, and come out of it.
!!
Chi Shuyan didn’t pay much attention to Gu Yunzheng as her sharp eyes continued to sweep over her surroundings.
Gu Yunzheng, who had just come out of the illusion, was stupefied. He had no idea what was going on at all; it felt like he had been dreaming of lying in a coffin. He had just enjoyed resting for a while, when he suddenly felt weightless. When he came back to his senses, he suddenly fell to the ground.
He saw that he had reappeared in Yuan Yuan’s room. The decor was familiar, and Shuyan wasn’t far away. Gu Yunzheng felt that something was wrong. The dream just now was too real. Before he left, he even heard countless mournful wails.
Gu Yunzheng was quite experienced and knowledgeable, so he quickly guessed that he must have fallen into some illusion just now. Instantly, he got gooseb.u.mps all over his body. He first looked around carefully, then saw that there was only Fellow Daoist Chi and himself in the room. He didn’t see a third person or ‘ghost’ at all.
He was about to remind Fellow Daoist Chi about this, but he saw that his compa.s.s had rolled to a corner, so he went over to pick it up first.
Unexpectedly, just as he walked over and crouched down to pick up the compa.s.s, he suddenly felt an unusually hot gaze on him.
Gu Yunzheng looked up and saw Fellow Daoist Chi staring unblinkingly in his direction. Her black eyes were different from their usual gentle warmth. At that moment, there was no trace of a smile on her face. Her gaze on him was as sharp as a blade that wanted to dismember him. For a moment, Gu Yunzheng felt inexplicably uneasy and his scalp turned numb under Fellow Daoist Chi’s gaze. He thought that she was taking her anger out on him. He coughed dryly and said, “Fellow Daoist Chi, you how?”
Before he could finish speaking, Fellow Daoist Chi suddenly flashed in front of him and grabbed his shoulder to pull him away. Gu Yunzheng staggered and almost fell.
At that moment, Gu Yunzheng finally felt a dark chill crawl down his spine. There was a cold voice behind him as someone said his name and asked if he could give her his face.
It was as if Gu Yunzheng was in the dead of winter, and countless chills seemed to seep into his scalp, making the pores all over his body widen and gooseb.u.mps rise all over his body.
“Don’t respond!”
When Gu Yunzheng came back to his senses, he saw Fellow Daoist Chi fighting with something. It was like a firestorm, and there were loud explosions in the room.
This time, Gu Yunzheng finally got a good look at the thing’s appearance. It was a black ma.s.s with very long hair. At first, the face couldn’t be clearly seen. The only thing that was very eye-catching and disgusting were the faces pressed together all over its body. These faces were clearly real who knew how many people had died because of this thing.
Gu Yunzheng wasn’t a scaredy-cat and had seen many disgusting things. However, he had a bit of trypophobia. At first glance, he almost couldn’t help but want to puke.
The dirty thing on the other side seemed to fly into a humiliated rage. Its face twisted, along with every face on its body. Gu Yunzheng felt the urge to puke again. As he endured it, he couldn’t help but exclaim inwardly as he wondered what the h.e.l.l this thing was.
Moreover, every face on this dirty thing looked very animated and flushed it wasn’t an exaggeration to say that they were rosy-looking. It was precisely because of this that gooseb.u.mps rose all over Gu Yunzheng’s body. He couldn’t help but recall what Jiang Mingguang had told him before about his friends being killed one by one.
It was very likely that the reason why this thing’s faces were so ‘rosy’ was related to the person working for it. Who on earth wors.h.i.+ped such a disgusting ghost thing?
Gu Yunzheng was a very forthright person. After sizing up this ghost thing, he couldn’t help but curse, “What idiot actually wors.h.i.+ps a ghost thing like this?!”
The dirty thing turned around and grinned hideously at him, before it suddenly flashed behind Fellow Daoist Chi and was about to launch a sneak attack. Gu Yunzheng hurriedly shouted, “Fellow Daoist Chi! Be careful.”
He quickly threw out a few more talismans. Unfortunately, these talismans weren’t very effective. When they hit the other party, they only smashed a few faces on the thing’s skin and didn’t seriously injure it. Fortunately, Fellow Daoist Chi had the upper hand in the fight with that thing. Only then did Gu Yunzheng heave a sigh of relief and join the battle not long after.
Elsewhere, Yuan Yuan’s right eyelid kept twitching as she went shopping with Xia Mingcheng. She felt very uneasy, as if her heart would jump out of her throat in the next second. Her face gradually turned inexplicably pale and she suddenly stopped moving. Xia Mingcheng took in Yuan Yuan’s expression and his pupils contracted slightly. He feigned concern and confusion. “Xiao Yuan, what’s wrong?”
