REBIRTH: GHOST EXORCISER

Chapter 1124 Ghost Substitute, Green With Regret

　　Speaking of how he had almost been stabbed, Jiang Duo told them everything, including how that ghost thing had feigned death, how it had attacked him when he wasn’t paying attention, and how this jade pendant had saved him.

Feng Yuanlin listened to Jiang Duo describe the jade pendant in a very magical way, but he also knew that he wasn’t exaggerating. For a moment, not to mention Xiao Ningjin and the others, even Feng Yuanlin drooled a little when he looked at the jade pendant around Jiang Duo’s neck.

Feng Yuanlin’s gaze was probably a little hot. Jiang Duo was afraid that this Director Feng in front of him would use his authority to make him hand over this jade pendant. That wouldn’t do. The one thing he could never give away was this jade pendant.

Feng Yuanlin couldn’t help but laugh at Jiang Duo’s wary gaze. He immediately looked away, and Jiang Duo heaved a sigh of relief.

Chi Shuyan remained silent, deep in thought.

Feng Yuanlin then asked them what they did when they went to Swan Lake which resulted in them provoking an evil spirit. However, they didn’t know much. They all said that they went there until very late into the night and nothing happened. As for how they had provoked that ghost thing, they wanted to know that as well.

They all looked at Master Chi, wanting to know what was going on.

Feng Yuanlin could ask them about the murders, but he really couldn’t ask the boys about provoking evil. He directly told Shuyan to ask them if she had any questions.

In fact, Chi Shuyan had already asked the boys about their trip to Swan Lake before, but they hadn’t taken her seriously then. She pondered for a moment, then looked at Xiao Ningjin, who was the calmest and most rational, and then at the other boys. She said, “Think carefully. What else happened back then that you forgot to tell me? You boys better be honest with me, or I won’t be able to save you even if I want to. Since I have to get rid of that thing, I have to at least figure out what the hell it is! Otherwise, I’m afraid that after this, when that thing recovers its vitality, it’ll come looking for you again!”

”Look… look for us again?” Chang Hao was so scared by these words that his voice shook and he stuttered, unable to speak.

It was fine for Jiang Duo, who was protected by the jade pendant. In addition to Chang Hao, who was so scared that he stuttered, the others were also so scared that they almost collapsed at the thought of that thing coming after them. They didn’t want to encounter or see that ugly thing again after escaping death.

If that ghost thing found them again and possessed someone else close to them… They swallowed their saliva. They didn’t dare imagine that scene, and were flustered and anxious.

Moreover, they still had families. If their families were implicated because of them… Even the calmest of them, Xiao Ningjin, was scared out of his wits. His limbs turned to jelly, afraid that Master Chi would really turn away from them.

They didn’t have any more talismans, but even if they did, they wouldn’t be able to live in peace in the future. They said anxiously, “Master Chi, don’t, don’t, don’t abandon us. We’ll think about it, we’ll think about it properly!”

Chi Shuyan nodded. “Okay, then think about it carefully. There’s no hurry! Although what I said just now wasn’t pleasant to hear, it was also for your sake. The more specific you are, the more I will understand what that thing is, and the higher the probability of me immediately disposing of it.”

They hurriedly nodded in agreement.

Seeing the boys stand obediently in front of Shuyan, Feng Yuanlin was quite impressed by her method of beating them with a stick and then giving them sweet dates.

She didn’t know if it was because the more nervous they were, the more they couldn’t remember anything, but five minutes later, Chi Shuyan saw that each of the boys’ faces was uglier and paler than the last. She couldn’t force them anymore. She didn’t have much time, and the matter was urgent. She planned to go to the hospital to see the other two, and also have a look at Fang Yinglong and Jin Ming’s bodies.

She said to Jiang Duo and the others, “Don’t worry, tell me when you remember something. There’s no hurry!”

With that, she got up to leave, but Jiang Duo, Xiao Ningjin, Chang Hao and Xiong Luoying panicked, afraid that she would really abandon them.

Seeing that she was really going to leave, the boys almost cried. Their faces were unsightly as they cried, “Master Chi, Master Chi, please don’t leave!”

”Master Chi, please don’t go!”

”Master Chi! We were wrong! We don’t dare call you a swindler anymore. We boys were blind before! We’ll do whatever you want!”

In the end, Xiao Ningjin led the way and knelt down to beg for mercy, his eyes filled with regret. Who told them to treat Master Chi as a swindler back then? Now, this was retribution.

Chi Shuyan flicked her hand, and they couldn’t kneel no matter what. Xiao Ningjin, Chang Hao and Xiong Luoying stared with wide eyes, stupefied. Their expressions changed and their minds went blank.

On the side, Feng Yuanlin also saw this, and his pupils contracted slightly.

Chi Shuyan said, “I don’t plan to abandon you. Since you paid me a deposit before, I’ll naturally see this matter through to the end. It’s just that this matter mainly relies on you providing me with information so that I know what kind of evil creature you’ve provoked. That way, I can make other arrangements early and resolve it at the source!”

Only then did Xiao Ningjin and the others heave sighs of relief. It was just that if Master Chi suddenly left, what if that thing came looking for them again tonight?

Chi Shuyan seemed to know what they were thinking and said, “The chances of that thing looking for you in the next few days are low. As long as you carry those talismans on you, it won’t dare touch you, and you don’t have to deliberately attack it. If you really see it, just pretend it doesn’t exist!”

Xiao Ningjin and the others said that they couldn’t pretend that the ghost didn’t exist. They were scared at the thought that it would look for them, even if it couldn’t do anything to them.

Chi Shuyan couldn’t be by their side all the time. She took in their terrified expressions and suggested, “Actually, if you’re really afraid, you can all stay together!”

Chi Shuyan pursed her lips and indicated that with Jiang Duo around, that thing wouldn’t be able to do anything. Jiang Duo, who was wearing the jade pendant, was definitely the linchpin. Since he had been able to ward off that thing once, he could do it a second time.

After much persuasion, the boys were finally convinced, but Jiang Duo got goosebumps under everyone’s scorching gazes.

Xiao Ningjin didn’t give up. After all, only when he was in control of his life could he be reassured. He said, “Master Chi, I really want to buy this jade pendant. It doesn’t matter how much it costs!”

Chang Hao and Xiong Luoying also hurriedly nodded to indicate that they also had money.

Chi Shuyan curled her lip and said, “I really don’t have many of these jade pendants in stock. Secondly, if you really want to buy them, you can pay attention to my Taobao shop in the future.”

Feng Yuanlin said, “Okay, we’re almost done. Give me your family’s contact details, and I’ll get them to come and pick you up in a day or two!”
