Rebirth: Ghost Exorciser

1819 Old Liang Family Residence, Alliance

At around 10pm, there was a sudden knock on the door. Qi Hao reacted quickly and went to open the door, only to see a yellowed card.

He glanced around before he decisively picked up the card.

He didn’t take a look at it himself, but hurried to show it to his sister-in-law.

As soon as Chi Shuyan came out of the shower, she heard Qi Hao say, “Sister-in-law, Sister-in-law, come and take a look. Look at this card. I just picked it up outside the door. There was a knock on the door just now, but when I opened it, I didn’t see anyone. Just like last night, there was only this mission card. I’ll open it for you.”

With that, Qi Hao immediately opened the mission card and handed the paper inside to his sister-in-law. When she opened it, he hurriedly leaned over and stared at the contents.

The name of the game caught his eye first: “Who Do You Want to Die Tonight?” A description of the game was given below.

This game was different from the kids’ games from before: The main thing was that everyone would gather together to vote. Each person would write down the name of the person they hated the most. Whoever had the most votes would die tonight.

After reading the rules of the game, Qi Hao was scared. He immediately counted how many of them were left. Apart from Director Huang, there were six of them.

Qi Hao thought about how he and his sister-in-law were on good terms with Lu Ningwen and Fang Yu. The two of them probably wouldn’t let him and his sister-in-law die. As for the others, if Director Huang wasn’t involved and there were only three of them left, Qi Hao felt that unless the three of them voted for him or his sister-in-law to die, the chances of him and his sister-in-law being eliminated weren’t high.

Thinking this, he heaved a sigh of relief. He was quite glad that he had gotten along with Fang Yu and Lu Ningwen earlier on. ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ novelenglish.net . (ꜰ)ire.ɴet

After thinking this, Qi Hao immediately looked at his sister-in-law’s face. However, her expression was very calm, and he couldn’t read her thoughts at all. He simply said, “Sister-in-law, should we go and reach out to other people now?”

Chi Shuyan’s thoughts ran deeper than Qi Hao’s. This was a matter of life and death. It was useless to reach out now. After all, no one wanted to die.

In any case, she wouldn’t allow anything to happen to her and Haozi.

So, after pondering for a moment, she refused. “No need. Have a good rest first and wait for the others to come.”

“Sister-in-law, who will come to our door? When will they come?” Qi Hao asked anxiously.

“Who knows; we’ll talk about it later!”

Qi Hao: “…”

Not long after, someone really came to their door: They were Du Zhong, Song Yanru and Lu Wenjing.

The three of them were no longer as distant as before, and now looked very close. Both Chi Shuyan and Qi Hao sensed the change in their relationship, especially between Film Empress Song and Du Zhong.

Fearful of Chi Shuyan’s abilities, Du Zhong and Song Yanru’s attitudes were very good. Lu Wenjing was quieter, and sat on the side as if she were invisible as she obediently listened to Du Zhong and Song Yanru.

Song Yanru was the first to speak. “Master Chi, you should have received the invitation and seen the rules of the game tonight, right?”

Chi Shuyan invited the two to sit opposite her on the couch and nodded. “Mm, I did!”

Qi Hao nodded repeatedly. “Film Empress Song, we’ve seen it. My sister-in-law and I have seen the rules. Why are you looking for us?”

Without waiting for Song Yanru to speak again, Du Zhong said, “Celestial Master Chi, what do you and Brother Qi think of tonight’s game? I know that everyone has their own motives and no one wants to die. To be honest, if possible, I don’t want to hurt someone else, but there are only two choices: live or hurt someone. We can only compromise. In that case, why don’t we all form an alliance and get out together? Also, tomorrow is the last night. Maybe after tomorrow night, we can get out once the filming is over!”

When Du Zhong said this, he stared intently at the two of them, and his eyes fell on Qi Hao’s face several times in particular. Qi Hao guessed that the other party probably knew that he had a good relationship with Lu Ningwen and Fang Yu, so he was worried that Qi Hao would form an alliance with them or divulge information.

But if the five of them formed an alliance, did they want either Lu Ningwen or Fang Yu to die?

Thinking this, Qi Hao immediately couldn’t sit still. He stared intently at his sister-in-law, afraid that she would agree.

Chi Shuyan was a smart person. She didn’t agree immediately, but probed, “Whose name have you decided to write down?”

Du Zhong and Song Yanru weren’t stupid. They didn’t directly answer the question, but wanted the other two to agree to the alliance first.

Qi Hao hurriedly winked at his sister-in-law, and Chi Shuyan understood. “I still have to think about this for a while. I’m afraid I can’t give you a reply right away.”

Hearing her words, Du Zhong and Song Yanru were indignant, but they didn’t dare force her, especially Du Zhong. He had seen Celestial Master Chi’s abilities, and he would probably have to rely on her to get out, so he didn’t dare offend her.

Before the three left, Du Zhong tried his best to persuade them again.

Chi Shuyan said that this was a serious matter and she would indeed have to give it consideration before giving the other party a reply later. However, before the other party left, she promised to reply before 11:30pm.

Only then did they reluctantly leave.

As soon as they left, Qi Hao suddenly said, “Sister-in-law, I remember that this Du person has a grudge against Brother Lu. In addition, the three of them have formed an alliance. They won’t target Brother Lu, right?”

Chi Shuyan replied to Haozi, “They won’t!”

“How can they not? Sister-in-law, when we were playing the game last night, didn’t you see how that Du man kept trying to get Brother Lu killed? Do you think I should let Brother Lu know?” Qi Hao said.

“That is a small matter. We’re on good terms with Lu Ningwen and Fang Yu, and the four of us can crush the three of them. Do you think they’re that stupid?” Chi Shuyan retorted.
