Sakurako! Hideki! I frantically pounded the tal sheet on the water tank, Open the lid, quickly, open the lid!
No one responded, and I beca increasingly frantic. The air inside was not circulating, and after shouting several tis, I felt dizzy and couldnt catch my breath.
My arms gradually beca weak, and my cellphone slipped from my palm and fell to the ground. The tank was not very large, but I couldnt find the exit. I desperately groped inch by inch, until my face turned purple, and my blood vessels burst one by one.
I had never experienced anything like this before. Inside this sealed water tank, I felt true fear. It had nothing to do with ghosts or monsters, but rather a simple fear of death.
Severely lacking oxygen, I rubbed my cheeks with both hands, digging bloody grooves with my nails. The pain was too much, and I couldnt even scream. I curled up at the bottom of the tank like a fish that had been drained of all its moisture.
Why did you want to kill ?
In a daze, I heard the voice again. I struggled to open my eyes and saw what appeared to be a young boy with a bleeding pinkie finger, jumping into the water tank. He closed the lid with his own hands and slowly sank into the black, icy water.
Loneliness and fear surrounded him. In the face of death, his body instinctively struggled. He even called for help, but no one responded, until all his organs stopped functioning and his body lost its warmth, becoming stiff.
I dont want to die, but why did you want to kill ? The rigid body that should have died floated to my side. Its fish-like eyes stared at , asking the sa question.
In my semi-conscious state, I tried to push him away with my last bit of strength, but it was futile. A pair of hands, icy cold, grabbed my neck.
Why did you want to kill ?
Pa!
Right then, I was slapped hard across the face, and the darkness in front of shattered like a broken mirror. A delicate and pretty face was staring at .
Sakurako? It was then that I realized I was lying inside the tank, soaked wet.
The boy and the voice I had seen and heard before were all gone, seemingly just a fignt of my imagination.
Are you okay? Hideki was standing above the tank. Luckily, Sakurako realized sothing was wrong, or you might never have woken up.
I struggled to my feet and leaned over the water inlet, gasping for air. I saw what appeared to be Guo Junjies death scene just now. He was struggling and screaming, saying you killed him.
Everyone at New Shanghai High School is on guard against each other. Who would care about him? Besides, if we had killed him earlier, maybe the tragedy wouldnt have happened, Hidekis words made sense. Guo Junjie has been secretly watching us all the ti. He wont let you investigate smoothly.
After Hidekis words, I also realized that my situation was very dangerous, and that the vengeful spirit could kill at any ti.
To be honest, I was really scared just now. I was hit without even realizing it, and I still have so lingering fear in my heart. I probably wont dare to enter a small enclosed space alone for a while.
Sakurako, can you stay here with for a while? I feel a little uneasy. Whether Sakurako is human or ghost, at least she saved just now, so I should trust her a little more.
I found my fallen phone and shone it towards the corner of the water tank. The worn-out school uniform was still lying there.
This should be Guo Junjies relic. I picked up the uniform and spread it out on the iron tank. There was nothing unusual on the back, but there was a dark blood stain in the chest area.
Its a bit strange. The blood stain on the uniform was from the blood that had flowed out of the victims chest wound. The strange thing was that the blood was evenly distributed, not like a puncture wound caused by a sharp object.
I compared the uniform to my own body and pressed the area with the heaviest blood stain with my hand. This is the location of the heart.
What kind of wound can cause bleeding and be difficult to heal? The two words skining popped into my mind.
I thought about Guo Junjies act of cutting off his little finger and giving it as a gift to Shen ngting, and my last trace of pity for him disappeared. Hes completely insane. Although he still looks human on the outside, his actions are like those of a devilpsychologically twisted and reckless.
I searched the school uniform pocket and found a class photo, but unfortunately, it had been soaked in water for too long, and everyones faces were blurred.
He carried the photo with him until his death. Its not because he had a fondness for those people in it. It seems more like a dium for a curse. He wanted everyone in the photo to have a bad ending.
I put the photo in my pocket with Guo Junjies final love letter and searched the area, but found no further clues.
Lets go to the incineration pit. This nightmare needs an ending. I crawled out of the water tank, thinking that the harvest wasnt bad. Now, all I needed to do was follow the clues and find Guo Junjies body.
The place where the garbage was processedthe incineration pitwas located at the deepest part of the campus, with weeds growing everywhere on the ground. The farther I walked, the more desolate it felt. The cold wind blew into my clothes, and the thought of there possibly being nurous bodies buried beneath the ground made quicken my pace.
Were here!
Two flat-roofed houses were right next to the schools fence, with the door locked and strange seals on the windows.
Host, we cant go any further with you. We cant get into that house. Hidekis face turned ugly as soon as we approached the pit, and there were signs of cracking on his pale skin that he couldnt control.
Dont worry, leave it to . Hidekis reaction probably had to do with the talismans on the windows. I approached them and noticed strange symbols drawn on all the talismans. Because of what happened at the Peace of Mind Hotel, I didnt recklessly tear them off.
At tis like this, we should consult a professional. I asked for help in the live broadcast chat, but there were many fraudsters and boastful people who didnt provide reliable information.
Is half-immortal Liu there? Is Half-immortal Liu from Qingcheng Mountain here? I suddenly rembered Half-immortal and wished he was online, but unfortunately he wasnt today.
Yuan Chens soul retrieval talisman? Just a low-level talisman, whats the big deal? I noticed a comnt on the screen that caught my attention, posted by soone nad Daoist master Wan.
It wasnt because of what he said made sense, but rather his arrogant tone. He spoke with an air of superiority, as if he were invincible in this world.
Lives are at stake. Do any of our viewers have any good ideas?
Call the police! Our trademark in this live broadcast room is to call the police at the slightest problem!
Why call the police? Listen to , kick the door three tis, then use your inner strength to dispel the evil spirits with your butt facing backwards. As the saying goes, kicking the widows door at night is the mark of a superior man. Let enlighten you with my extensive knowledge and expertise.
What a bunch of nonsense! Listen to , as a professional, a third-term student of the Harbin Buddhist College, I am proficient in Guanyin ditation
The barrage of comnts was scrolling by at lightning speed and I stood at the door, afraid to make a move, paying special attention to the ID of Daoist master Wan
Yuan Chen is one of the Eight Characters of Gods and demons, also known as Da Hao, it can be said to be extrely evil. If evil ons and disasters are seen, they are foremost to be avoided at the end of a prosperous period. n encounter ugliness, chaos, shalessness, and gluttony; won encounter multiple disasters, with rough voices and mixed qualities, lewdness, and disobedience in childbirth.
The corpse hidden in the house, carrying Yuan Chens fate in life, turned into a land-bound evil spirit after death, with extre resentnt. Ordinary talismans are useless. This Yuan Chen talisman is also only treating the symptoms and not the root cause, it can only temporarily trap it.
I stared at Daoist master Wans comnts, although I couldnt tell if he knew what he was talking about, he felt much more reliable than others.
I dont know how to destroy the Yuan Chen soul retrieval talisman Do you have any great ideas, Daoist master Wan? I lowered my posture, as pretending to be aloof at this ti might really make him angry and make him leave.
Boy, do you, a mortal, dare to go against Yuan Chen? Its ridiculous, ridiculous.
Half-immortal Liu said the sa thing to back then, but his way of expressing it was much more gentle.
Daoist, if you really have supre skills in Taoism, please enlighten . I would be eternally grateful, I asked eagerly.
I wouldnt say my skills are supre, but in the past 50 years, there have been few cultivators who could match . Alright, today, I will teach you a technique that can bring you back from the brink of death, the Daoist replied.
In the live broadcast chatroom, many viewers expressed their disdain for the Daoists arrogant voice. I, too, was feeling uncertain about whether he was a narcissistic teenager or a truly talented immortal Daoist.
You, with no skills or abilities, require a determination to take risks and climb upwards in the face of adversity to break the curse of Yuan Chen. Only then can you find a glimr of hope amidst the brink of death! the Daoist instructed.
Daoist Master, please dont judge . Just tell what I need to do, I said.
The ominous star holds trendous power. It cannot bring about good fortune without any ghosts and it cannot hold any authority without any killings. I want you to have a clear mind, without fear or distraction, to find the corpse of Yuan Chen amongst the mountain of corpses and then carry it on your back, the Daoist explained.
Carry, carry the corpse? I repeated incredulously.
Find a place where you can see the clear brilliance, and drop the corpse from a high place. If it shatters to pieces, you will have no worries tonight. But if its grudges linger and dont disperse, then you will undoubtedly die,
