REBIRTH: GHOST EXORCISER

Chapter 1139 Murdered Girl

　　When Chi Shuyan returned to the bedroom, her mind was still a bit muddled. She didn’t understand how she had gone from having a boyfriend earlier to now being single.

This change in status was too fast. She felt a little dumbstruck. Was she disappointed? Naturally, she was very disappointed, and she felt terrible.

She had just been thinking of borrowing this man’s purple aura to draw the Exploding Talismans and Pure Yang Talismans, but in the blink of an eye, this man took the initiative to break up with her.

Chi Shuyan sat on the couch in a daze and couldn’t help but reflect on her failure as a girlfriend.

She thought about how she had spent most of her time catching ghosts ever since they started dating. She did neglect Qi Zhenbai a little, and even subconsciously ignored his feelings!

She couldn’t blame him for wanting to break up with her!

Chi Shuyan was absent-minded and her mind was blank as she sat in the bedroom in a daze until one or two in the morning. She stared blankly at the clock. It was only at two in the morning that she came back to her senses, and she saw that the man had no intention of returning to the bedroom.

Chi Shuyan took a deep breath. Thinking of what Jiang Duo and the others had encountered, she could only suppress her sadness for now. She gritted her teeth and sat at the table in the dark. She took out talisman paper and cinnabar, and prepared to draw an Exploding Talisman first.

She was in a bad mood tonight and didn’t have her usual patience. This was the first time she was drawing an Exploding Talisman, and it was even a high-grade Level 4 Exploding Talisman. She injected her spiritual energy into the tip of the brush. As the glowing white tip slid over the yellow paper talisman, sparks immediately burst out.

The first talisman immediately turned black because of the excessive spiritual energy. Chi Shuyan didn’t succeed, so she could only try again. She didn’t know if it was because she had just been dumped, but she failed five times in a row.

Cold sweat gradually covered her forehead. She put down the brush and took a deep breath. After resting for a few minutes, she drew in her breath and focused before drawing again.

Because she was very focused this time, the first Exploding Talisman was a success, and the others were easy to draw. Chi Shuyan continued to draw. After drawing the Exploding Talismans, she didn’t stop and went on to draw the Pure Yang Talismans.

Pure Yang Talismans were very complicated. She tried drawing intermediate talismans at first, but failed one after another, so she could only take a step back and draw high-grade Level 3 Pure Yang Talismans. Halfway, however, she produced two or three extraordinary Pure Yang Talismans, and they became elementary Level 4 Pure Yang Talismans.

Chi Shuyan finished drawing one talisman after another, completely unaware that her face was pale and her forehead was covered in cold sweat. When she reached out for more yellow paper, she realized that she had used them all, and there was a large stack of Exploding Talismans and a lot of Pure Yang Talismans next to her.

Chi Shuyan was stunned. She put down the brush. When she came back to her senses, she felt weak and exhausted.

Chi Shuyan wanted to circulate her spiritual energy, but realized that the spiritual energy in her dantian had long been exhausted.

Chi Shuyan was so tired that she slumped weakly in her seat. After resting for a long while, she tried circulating her spiritual energy again, and her depleted dantian gradually filled up once more.

Chi Shuyan was pleasantly surprised to find that the spiritual energy in her dantian was actually much richer than before. She was also gradually approaching the fifth level of the Mystic Yin Arts. She had hit a bottleneck at the fourth level of the Mystic Yin Arts before, and had been unable to advance. She hadn’t expected this surprise tonight. However, if she wanted to cultivate to the fifth level of the Mystic Yin Arts, she needed a lot more spiritual energy.

She had the vague feeling that the spiritual energy on Earth wasn’t enough at all, unless she refined many pills filled with spiritual energy that could help her advance – there might still be a chance then.

Chi Shuyan meditated and circulated her spiritual energy, which immediately flowed into her limbs and bones. Not long after, her exhaustion was swept away.

When she opened her eyes and looked out the window, she realized that it was already bright outside.

After drawing the talismans and with nothing else to do, Chi Shuyan couldn’t help but think of what the man had said last night about breaking up. If she hadn’t been up all night, she would have thought that she had dreamt it all last night!

Chi Shuyan’s heart sank at the thought of the words “break up.” She couldn’t help but think that the man might have said them in the heat of the moment last night. As long as she shamelessly refused to admit it, and the man didn’t mention it again, she would pretend she never heard it.

Thinking this, Chi Shuyan perked up a bit and immediately went to the washroom to wash up. She made up her mind to make up for it in the morning and curry favor with the other party. She would cook some spirit rice porridge first, and then try cooking some dishes.

Chi Shuyan pushed the bedroom door open and passed by the study. She wanted to see if there was any movement inside, but saw that the door was open and the room was empty.

Chi Shuyan was stunned. She looked around and saw that the kitchen and living room were empty. She immediately lost her appetite.

He went out so early?

Chi Shuyan couldn’t help but wonder if he was really busy or if he just wanted to avoid her.

Chi Shuyan was lost in thought as she sat on the couch in a daze. Frustrated, she picked up the remote control and turned on the TV.

She didn’t pay attention at first, nor did she actually watch TV. She was in a daze.

However, the news on TV reported that several families had all been stabbed to death last night. Except for one family whose two kids lived on campus and so had been lucky enough to escape the calamity, no one else had escaped death. Everyone had been stabbed dozens of times, while a few had also drowned in the bathtub. The bathtub was filled with blood, and there was blood everywhere in the rooms as well. The murderer was very brutal.

Hearing this news, Chi Shuyan’s face changed. She immediately regained her composure and watched the news. The more she watched, the darker her face became.

At that moment, her phone suddenly rang. Chi Shuyan glanced at the screen and picked up the call. “Brother Feng!”

”Shuyan, something happened!” Feng Yuanlin’s tone was very bitter and serious. “More than a dozen people were suddenly killed last night, and their injuries are exactly the same as the hospital nurse’s.”

Chi Shuyan sighed and said, “Brother Feng, I’ll go over at noon. I’ll take leave and go to Swan Lake first! Don’t worry!”

”Okay, okay, okay… Shuyan!

”One more thing, Shuyan!” Feng Yuanlin gritted his teeth and sighed. “When we found that car last night, that girl had already been murdered.”

He thought of the girl who had been dumped in the wilderness last night. She had been stark naked and had many marks of assault on her body. It was a ghastly sight. The girl’s face was very pale and she had died with her eyes wide open.

Chi Shuyan didn’t know what to say for a moment. When she looked at the TV, she saw that the news had indeed finished reporting on the “atrocious family homicides” and was now reporting on the girl’s murder.

Chi Shuyan turned off the TV and asked, “Brother Feng, have you caught the murderer?”

”Mm!

”Okay, let’s not talk about it. Shuyan, see you at noon!”

Chi Shuyan nodded and hung up. She was about to go out, when her phone rang again. She picked up the call, and Wei Panyang’s miserable and tearful cry for help rang out. “Master Chi, help! Master Chi, help!”
