Chu Pengpeng glanced at my unconscious form and then looked down at the Three-Eyed Leech on his arm, a helpless smile appearing on his face.
After the Three-Eyed Leech had devoured the seals on my body, its belly became round and swollen, as if it were about to burst, and its exterior was as black as ink.
Chu Pengpeng's spirit flickered in and out of visibility, becoming increasingly unstable; one misstep could send him spiraling into oblivion.
However, there was not a trace of regret on Chu Pengpeng's face. He smiled at me and said, "Jiang Ling Brother, I didn't expect the seals on you to be so powerful! I'm barely holding on, but I believe you will fulfill our promise!"
"It's time to tell you who that bad guy is!" Chu Pengpeng took a box of cinnabar from my backpack, dipped a brush into it, and wrote a name on my chest: Sun Haoyu.
He dropped the brush onto the ground; his spirit was on the verge of collapse. Chu Pengpeng walked over to the photos near the door, gently caressing them with red-rimmed eyes. "Mom and Dad, I'm leaving! Don't worry, Jiang Ling Brother will definitely save you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his body suddenly shattered into ashes, dissipating into the air.
I felt a surge of awareness and abruptly woke up just in time to witness Chu Pengpeng's spirit scattering.
Once a ghost's spirit scatters, they lose their chance to reincarnate in the Underworld. They must wait for hundreds of years before they can gather their soul again and have another opportunity to reincarnate.
Thinking of how Chu Pengpeng sacrificed himself to help me made my heart ache. I wiped away tears from the corners of my eyes and glanced at the three words on my chest. Clenching my fists, I vowed earnestly, "Pengpeng, don't worry! I will definitely rescue your parents and kill Sun Haoyu to avenge you!"
After I spoke, a wave of drowsiness washed over me, and I fell asleep once more.
After Chu Pengpeng's spirit scattered, the previously closed door swung open without the Eerie Aura's interference.
A group of over ten people rushed in from outside, each holding a flashlight. Some carried crosses, glutinous rice, saltwater, and other assorted items. Most absurdly, one woman had filled a water bottle with half a jug of Boys' Urine.
This group cautiously entered the living room and soon discovered five people lying on the floor.
The families of the four young men hurried over to help them up, anxiously calling out.
"Fei, are you okay?!"
"Dog Treasure, wake up! Don't sleep!"
…
Qu Liang was among this group. She looked at me lying on the floor with furrowed brows and slowly approached.
“Jiang Ling, are you dead yet?” Qu Liang said rudely as she slapped my face and shouted.
“Stop it, I’m still sleeping!” I pushed her hand away and turned over, drifting back to sleep.
On the other side, four young people gradually woke up, their heads still foggy, completely unaware of what had happened.
One of the young men rubbed his eyes and asked in confusion, “Bro, how did I end up here? What happened?”
“You don’t remember?!” His brother handed him a mirror and said, “Take a look for yourself!”
The young man took the mirror and saw a line of words written on his face. He instinctively read aloud, “Chu Pengpeng was here!”
“Chu Pengpeng?!” The young man thought for a moment before suddenly realizing something. His face turned pale, and his voice trembled as he said, “Bro, isn’t that Chu Pengpeng already dead? Could there really be a ghost?!”
As he finished speaking, a strong wind suddenly blew outside, causing the glass to rattle. The sound echoed in the room, creating an eerie atmosphere. Everyone except Qu Liang jumped in fright.
His brother was so scared that his legs shook uncontrollably, but he still mustered the courage to say, “Stop being ridiculous; let’s get out of here!”
The others were equally terrified and rushed outside in a frenzy. In the blink of an eye, only Qu Liang and I remained in the living room.
Qu Liang took out Ox Tears and applied it to her eyelids. She opened her eyes and walked around the house but found no trace of the ghost. Instead, she noticed the floating ashes of a soul at the entrance.
Qu Liang furrowed her brow and muttered to herself, “Could that ghost have already dissipated?”
Not lingering on this thought, she returned to stand in front of me. A glint of malice flashed in her eyes as she contemplated whether to kill me while I was still weak.
After hesitating for a moment, Qu Liang picked up the Peach Wood Sword from the ground. Her murderous intent intensified as her eyes transformed into those of a snake. A sinister smile spread across her face as she coldly said, “You little brat, it’s time for you to die!”
Qu Liang thrust the Peach Wood Sword directly toward my throat with great force; if she hit me, my life would be over.
“Jiang Ling! Are you two still in there?” At that moment, four or five people walked in from outside, led by the aunt I knew from before.
Hearing the voices from outside, Qu Liang quickly halted her attack with the Peach Wood Sword. Her eyes blinked and returned to normal.
“Auntie, we’re here!” Qu Liang tucked the Peach Wood Sword into my backpack and helped me up from the ground.
Seeing that both Qu Liang and I were unharmed, the aunt finally breathed a sigh of relief and smiled as she said, “I ran so fast earlier that I forgot to check on you two! I’m glad you’re okay!”
Two large men stepped out from behind the woman and took me from Qu Liang, supporting me as they led me outside.
No one noticed that I had actually woken up. Just moments ago, Qu Liang had suddenly made a move against me, and I sensed a very dangerous feeling, which prompted me to regain consciousness.
I hadn’t expected that the woman in front of me would inadvertently save my life. I didn’t react much; to avoid arousing Qu Liang’s suspicion, I continued to pretend to be asleep.
After I moved away from Qu Liang, I slightly opened my eyes and stole a glance at him, wondering what was really going on.
I had just caught a glimpse of the snake-like glint in Qu Liang's eyes, which sparked some speculation in my mind, but I still wasn’t entirely sure.
Once Qu Liang and I returned to Zhang Yang's room, I opened my eyes and stopped pretending to be asleep.
I yawned and looked at Qu Liang with a calm expression, smiling as I said, “Beautiful Qu, I've dealt with that ghost; everything is fine now! Are we going back to our own places or staying here for the night?”
Qu Liang shook her head directly and said, “Men and women shouldn’t be too close; I’ll head back!”
We went downstairs together and took a taxi toward the school.
Half an hour later, Qu Liang got out first. She stood by the roadside, watching the taxi drive away. A cold glint flashed in her eyes as she said icily, “You lucky brat, this time you escaped death. Next time, I will definitely kill you!”
