Rebirth: Ghost Exorciser

Chapter 1150: Ghost Substitute, Black Talisman

Xiao Ningjin, Wei Panyang, Jiang Duo, Chang Hao and Xiong Luoying thought that Master Chi was angry at them for drinking, and each boy immediately felt more guilty than the last. Xiong Luoying hurriedly said, “Master Chi, we drank a little just to try it. We weren’t planning to get drunk, we were drinking for fun, hehe!”

Chang Hao pulled a pitiful expression at that moment and echoed, “That’s right, that’s right, Master Chi, we’re just having a taste. It’s too boring to stay in the hospital all day!”

At that moment, Jiang Duo invited Chi Shuyan to have a drink with them, and said that she wouldn’t get drunk on beer.

“Where are the talismans I gave you before?” Chi Shuyan narrowed her eyes and asked.

Xiao Ningjin, Wei Panyang, Jiang Duo, Chang Hao and Xiong Luoying didn’t know why Master Chi was asking this. The boys didn’t think much of it, and they took out their talismans first.

Apart from Wei Panyang, the others only had one each, and had sent the rest home. In any case, Master Chi would give them jade pendants by the end of the day.

When they sent the talismans home, they also wrote letters. The boys were smart and didn’t say anything about supernatural beings or ghosts. They just said that they had gone to some very reputable temple to ask for these talismans. They felt that their parents wouldn’t throw away these talismans like scrap paper after seeing their sincerity.

If their parents really treated this good stuff like scrap paper, the boys felt that they would vomit blood! No, they had to call and ask later.

Chi Shuyan didn’t care what the boys thought. She narrowed her eyes and glanced at the talismans that everyone took out.

At that moment, Wei Panyang spoke first. “Master Chi, all the talismans you gave us are here. I always keep them in my pocket, and I wear them even when I shower.” ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ N(o)vᴇl(F)ire.net

The others also nodded in agreement, indicating that they always carried the talismans on them. Now that they had taken the talismans out, they were instinctively scared and uneasy. When they showered, they would look at the yellow paper talisman every now and then before they relaxed.

At that moment, someone suddenly exclaimed, “What’s going on? Master Chi, why is my talisman a little black?”

It was Chang Hao who spoke. He saw that the corner of the folded-up triangular talisman in his hand had inexplicably turned black, and his heart turned cold.

Wei Panyang and Xiao Ningjin were equally scared. The corners of their talismans were also black. The three of them were stupefied and their faces turned pale. They hurriedly looked at Master Chi in confusion and alarm.

Xiong Luoying and Jiang Duo examined their talismans. Seeing that the talismans in their hands hadn’t changed color, they heaved sighs of relief. However, they looked worriedly at Xiao Ningjin, Wei Panyang and Chang Hao. They were also a bit stupefied and didn’t understand how their talismans had turned black. They thought about how the three of them might have run into something that wasn’t human.

Xiong Luoying and Jiang Duo shuddered violently.

The other three were so scared that their faces turned white. Xiao Ningjin forced himself to remain calm as he gritted his teeth and said, “Master Chi, we were together all of today. We really didn’t go out, and we stayed here in Wei Panyang’s ward. Oh, right, when we ordered takeout just now, we met the delivery guy at the door. But that’s not right either. Ah Duo and I went to get it. If we really touched something we shouldn’t have, why am I the only one affected?”

If there really had been something wrong with the delivery guy, why was his talisman the only one to change color, and not Jiang Duo’s?

As soon as Xiao Ningjin said that, everyone immediately wondered if the delivery guy had been a human or a ghost. However appetizing these things looked earlier was how scared they were now. Their faces turned white and their limbs turned to jelly.

Horrified, the others asked, “Master Chi, is there a problem with the food?”

Chi Shuyan wasn’t in a hurry to reply. She walked over to Chang Hao, picked up the slightly charred talisman, and looked at it a few times. She then looked at the food they had bought, and saw nothing unusual.

Then, her eyes fell on several bowls in front of the boys on the table. To an ordinary person, the noodles in these bowls were very tasty, but what Chi Shuyan saw was food for the dead. Her face changed drastically.

Seeing that Master Chi was staring suspiciously at the noodles on the table, Wei Panyang spoke first. “Master Chi, my mother personally cooked these noodles for us; it’s not takeout!”

What he meant was that the noodles were definitely fine.

Xiao Ningjin keenly sensed that something was wrong with Master Chi’s expression when she looked at the bowls of noodles, but no matter how sharp and smart Xiao Ningjin was, he couldn’t imagine that Mother Wei might have been possessed.

Chang Hao and Xiong Luoying were about to agree, when Chang Hao suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. Bright red blood with some black mixed into it splattered on the table, scaring everyone.

Chang Hao’s face wasn’t just white at that moment, his eyes gradually rolled up and black cadaveric qi gradually enveloped his head. Chi Shuyan quickly stuck a talisman on Chang Hao’s forehead.

The cadaveric qi that originally covered his forehead faded, and Chang Hao’s eyes rolled back and he fainted.

This scene scared everyone witless. Without waiting for them to ask questions, Chi Shuyan stuck a talisman on Xiao Ningjin and Wei Panyang’s foreheads just as the black cadaveric qi touched them. The talismans flashed with golden light, and the dense cadaveric qi immediately scattered and disappeared.

Before Master Chi stuck the talismans on them, Xiao Ningjin and Wei Panyang had keenly sensed their bodies turn bone-chillingly cold for one moment. After Master Chi stuck the talismans on them, their bodies gradually warmed up.

Xiao Ningjin and Wei Panyang were filled with fear. Jiang Duo and Xiong Luoying were so scared by this sudden event that their faces turned white as they stared blankly. They didn’t know what had happened.

They just saw the talismans turn black when they were stuck on Xiao Ningjin and Wei Panyang. They gaped in shock and alarm. Their eyes darted to the unconscious Chang Hao. They were so scared that their limbs turned to jelly and their legs trembled. After a while, Jiang Duo couldn’t help but ask shakily, “Master… Master Chi, what… what the hell is going on?”
