Chapter 277: Master! Save me!
Chapter 277: Master! Save me!
This time, Yang Kai was remarkably successful. He brought a couple of classmates with him to rap on bowls, and astonishingly, it really attracted some lingering spirits!
Only, ordinary human naked eyes have difficulty seeing these lost souls.
Huang Xiaolong opened his Heavenly Eye and had a clear sight, approximately 20 to 30 wandering spirits, with eager faces, circled around Yang Kai and the others. However, as long as they kept rapping on the bowls, these wandering spirits couldn’t see them.
“Little Long, Yang Kai and them are crazy, that constant rapping, it’s driving me up the wall.” Chu Tingting said with dissatisfaction.
She and Huang Xiaolong were here to rescue Zhong Hui, they were doing serious business. Yang Kai and his entourage were purely causing trouble.
“Well, Tingting, their trick actually worked this time.” Huang Xiaolong said with a wry smile. “Usually, the probability of attracting wandering spirits from the vicinity with this kind of role-play is not high. I didn’t expect Yang Kai to hit the nail on the head this time.”
“Little Long, you mean…” Chu Tingting trembled slightly with fear.
“Food is for the living, and ghosts can’t eat it. Ghosts only eat incense and candles. But if they forget who they are, and keep eating until they burst. People who died in car accidents are the most confused. They still know that they’re no longer alive but unable to comprehend the fact that they’re already dead. When you tap on the food container, the special sound reminds those amnesiac spirits that it’s time for dinner. They would then be deceived into joining the dinner… However, once you stop tapping on the bowl, the ghosts would see the person who’s been tapping and realize the scam they’ve fallen into, they will then initiate a frenzied revenge…”
After finishing, Huang Xiaolong kindly warned. “You guys just keep tapping on the bowls, remember no one should stop! This is a dangerous game, starting from now. Whoever stops tapping will be seriously out of luck!”
At this moment, the group of wandering spirits had already surrounded Yang Kai and the others, distanced by some mere inches!
Upon hearing Huang Xiaolong’s words, one of the female classmates began to shiver. Startled, she snapped the chopsticks in her hand.
The rapping sound from her bowl also stopped at this moment.
In an instant, the eyes of all the ghosts turned toward the female student!
At the same time, she felt an inexplicable shiver run down her spine, feeling icy cold all over!
“Ah!!!!!!” The female classmate screamed and abruptly stood up. “Yang Kai, I’m not playing anymore! I’m done!”
“Min Xiaomin, what are you scared of! Look, I’ve also stopped rapping on the bowl, nothing’s happened!” Yang Kai nonchalantly tossed away his chopsticks and also stopped rapping.
In a flash, these wandering spirits, also noticed Yang Kai.
“Look, where are the ghosts? There’s nothing! Ghosts! Come out and show yourself!” Yang Kai shouted arrogantly.
“Forget it, even though these people are annoying, I can’t bear to watch them be possessed by ghosts.” Huang Xiaolong shook his head helplessly. The next moment, he directly took out a revealing charm.
The revealing charm self-ignited, flashing a golden light!
Boom
The teeming wandering spirits appeared in their ghostly forms, allowing Yang Kai and the others to see them clearly!
The key is, these wandering spirits were too close to them!
All sounds of rapping on bowls abruptly ceased!
Most of these wandering spirits died from car accidents, thus they retained their state from the moment of death. Some were leaking brain matter, some had guts trailing on the ground, some were severed in the waist, and some had broken necks with heads dangling…
There were also a few starved ghosts, who had small heads and limbs, but huge stomachs and mouths, appearing extremely horrifying!
Ghostly figures loom everywhere, these wandering spirits stared at Yang Kai and the others with twisted faces. They all realized they’d been deceived!
“Ah!!!!!!”
Yang Kai was the first to scream out loud, his face rapidly paling to the color of white paper!
The other classmates also had their eyes rolling back, nearly fainting from fright!
“Now do you believe in the existence of ghosts in this world? Remember, always revere the ghosts and gods. Otherwise, you will surely die.” Huang Xiaolong smirked and then spoke to the group of wandering spirits. “Scram quickly! Or else, your souls will scatter into pieces.”
These wandering spirits, of course, were extremely terrified of Huang Xiaolong. They all dispersed but still stared at Yang Kai and the others with resentful gazes.
“Forget it, these wandering spirits have remembered you all. If we just let them leave like this, they will return to take revenge.” With a thought, Huang Xiaolong took out the soul bottle and absorbed all the wandering spirits.
“Hu hu hu hu” Yang Kai was huffing and puffing, his legs had gone soft, his eyes, wide and staring at Huang Xiaolong. “You…you…”
“Remember, you guys were lucky that I am here this time, otherwise, you would’ve been done for.” Huang Xiaolong said disgustedly. “Stop playing this kind of game in the future, it’s suicide.”
“Ah? That scared me to death! Damn it! Yang Kai, you almost killed us with your prank today! We’re done being friends!”
“Yang Kai, I feel like slapping you in the face!”
“Yang Kai, don’t you dare call me again. What does it matter if you’re rich? Do you think my life is worthless? Just something for you to toy with?! If it hadn’t been for the principal’s boyfriend, we’d all be dead!”
“My God, there really are ghosts in this world! No way, I’m going home to burn some offerings for my grandparents so they can protect me.”
The three men and two women who survived hate Yang Kai with a vengeance.
Just then!!!!!
“Ah”
Chu Tingting screamed out loud!
She was shaking as she pointed at Yang Kai’s stomach, “Starving… starving ghost… I see it! The starving ghost!”
The talisman Huang Xiaolong burned earlier hadn’t lost its effect yet, so Chu Tingting could clearly see the ghost attached to Yang Kai’s stomach.
The others followed Chu Tingting’s panicked gesture and saw it too…
“Oh my God! There’s something in Yang Kai’s stomach… shit… I’m scared out of my wits!”
Several students, their faces pale, ran directly towards Huang Xiaolong.
“What the hell are you doing?” Yang Kai asked confusedly. “I know I messed up earlier. I had no idea it would turn out like this. Do you have to be so hard on me?”
“No, Yang Kai, you… you… look at your stomach…”
“My stomach?” Yang Kai lowered his head in shock, then
“Ah!! No! No! Why is there…is there something in my stomach…”
Bang!!!!!!
Frightened out of his mind, Yang Kai lost all strength in his legs and fell to his knees in front of Huang Xiaolong.
“Hahaha, I told you so, you’d kneel before me, didn’t I?” Huang Xiaolong giggled.
“I… I… Master! Help, help!” At this point, Yang Kai was hysterical, wetting his pants and crawling towards Huang Xiaolong. “Master, you are magnanimous, please… please put today behind us, I was out of my mind… I beg you! Save me!”
Just now, Yang Kai had seen Huang Xiaolong’s ghost dispelling technique and now he saw him as a savior.
“You’re possessed by a ghost. You have three days to live,” Huang Xiaolong said with a faint smile.
“I” Yang Kai was completely stupefied.
“Alright, kneel here for a while, and I’ll talk to you again after I finish up. Meanwhile, remember to kneel still; don’t get up.” Huang Xiaolong gave Yang Kai a smirk, then took out three incense sticks from his canvas bag.
Huang Xiaolong found a brick nearby and used his strength to jam the three incense sticks into it.
After setting down the brick, he lit the incense.
Then, Huang Xiaolong took out a spirit summoning charm and wrote Zhong Hui’s name on it.
Earlier, before he had left, Huang Xiaolong had asked Mother Zhong for Zhong Hui’s birthdate according to the lunar calendar.
He wrote her lunar birthdate on the spirit summoning charm.
“Now listen carefully, I’m going to light this charm and when I do, I want all of you to start calling Zhong Hui’s name out loud, non-stop, until this incense has completely burned. If you can call her soul back before it does, we’ll be fine. If they’re still not back by the time this incense burns out, I’ll have to resort to a more complicated and troublesome method.”
With a flick of his wrist, Huang Xiaolong ignited the spirit summoning charm.
“Start calling now, yell louder.” Huang Xiaolong glanced at the burning incense and instructed.
“Zhong Hui!!!!!!”
Chu Tingting was the first to call out.
“Go on, start yelling.” Huang Xiaolong cast a glance at Yang Kai, who was still kneeling on the ground. “Especially you, yell louder!”
