Chapter 82   - Ghost Eyes

“Don’t kill me! Don’t kill me!” Ma Yangyu trembled, hiding and burying his head under the quilt, curled up into a ball in a fetal position.

He was at the brink of collapse, and his face was very pale. It was so obvious that he had not slept peacefully for several days.

‘Drip, Drip.’

It was the sound of water dripping on the ground. It was very abrupt and terrifying in the quiet night. There was no toilet or even a sink in the room. The sudden sound of water scared Ma Yangyu, and he trembled even harder.

All the lights in the room were turned on and he had locked the door too. He even blocked the entrance with a cabinet taller than a human. Even the windows were covered with a layer of cloth, which had a statue of Zhong Kui painted on it, no one knew where he learnt of this folk exorcism method.

Garlic, some weird spells and an abacus were all hung down the doorway.

‘Jingle.’ The Teru Teru Bozu which was hung on the door was rustled by the wind.

Ma Yangyu was shivering even more intensely.

“Please, Lulu, let me go, I know I was wrong, I really realized my mistake! I kowtow to you!” Once Ma Yangyu finished talking, he shrank under the quilt and smashed his head on the mattress. There was a banging sound on the hard bed board of the school dormitory, and the bed board also shook very badly.

Ma Yangyu was shaking as if he was a sieve, which was shaking to strain flour through, and with his head covered, he was sweating profusely. The sweat dripped down his forehead and onto his lips, flowing continuously.

“Forgive me, I really know that I was wrong.” Ma Yangyu’s lips spasmed, his teeth were chattering, and his voice was trembling.

With a ‘pop’, the light bulb in the room suddenly flashed and dimmed.

Ma Yangyu was so frightened by the sound that his eyes were about to pop out, and his eyeballs moved slowly from side to side. He was like a statue, motionless, as if scared and stunned in place. He was even breathing slowly, so nervous that he held his breath.

In the darkness, you can only hear the crackling sound of the Teru Teru Bozu being blown by the wind, the sound of water droplets on the floor, and the pounding sound of Ma Yangyu’s own heartbeat.

These small sounds were infinitely amplified by the silent night.

However, a full minute passed, and the expected paranormal incident did not happen.

Two minutes followed...

As time passed, the wind stopped and the sound of water droplets disappeared. Only Ma Yangyu’s breathing and heartbeat remained, filling up the whole room.

Ma Yangyu’s body did not stop trembling because of this. Instead, his brain started to ache because he was in a highly tense situation, especially at the position of his temples. He could even feel blood being pumped through his veins.

And his knees were a little numb because he kept the same posture for such a long time.

He doesn’t know how long has passed, Ma Yangyu lifted up a corner of the quilt to scan the surrounding environment through the small gap testingly.

Nothing. There was nothing at all.

Ma Yangyu breathed a sigh of relief, squeezed his hands into a fist, with his fingers tightly clenched. He did not relax because of this.

His chest started to rise and fall more quickly, and he began to breathe normally, greedy for the fresh air around him, after all, he almost suffocated himself by holding his breath.

“Amitabha, Amitabha.” He covered back the little quilt that he lifted up , and his mouth kept repeating Amitabha, as if Nile Bodhisattva would jump out to protect him.

Although he also knew that this was nothing more than psychological comfort.

He shut his eyes tightly, buried his head under the pillow, continued to cover his head with the quilt, curled his whole body into a ball, his mouth was constantly repeating, constantly to comfort himself and psyching himself up, as if as long as he survives this long night, there will be no more female ghosts harassing him.

After a long time had passed, and Ma Yangyu fearfully opened his eyes again, as if thinking that there will be no more female ghosts to harass him tonight, he lifted his head from the pillow.

“Ahhhhh! !” A scream cut across the sky.

The pillow that Ma Yangyu was using to cover his face was not a pillow after all!

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a bloody face appear on the pillow. The owner of that face opened his mouth and grinned. It had bloody teeth with a sincere but creepy smile.

It was Chen Lulu!

“Ahhhhh!!”

He just laid on Chen Lulu’s face for half a night!

Ma Yangyu went completely crazy.

“Lu Yiming, we are not on the same side. You do what you want and I look for my own thing.” Lu Yi Ang has always been arrogant and dominating, and this time was no exception. It was originally an important task that his grandfather had assigned him, and he simply called a group of people to come, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Lu Yiming looked at a group of vibrantly coloured heads behind him. Men were either wearing leather clothes or leather pants or denim punk, dirty braids, and women were all in miniskirts with heavy makeup. Their looks really didn’t suggest that they were investigating ghosts, instead, they looked like they were having fun in a nightclub.

“Whatever you want.” Lu Yiming nodded indifferently. He didn’t even look at Lu Yi Ang. He didn’t want to be with Lu Yi Ang. It wasn’t that he had a grudge against Lu Yi Ang. On the contrary, it was Lu Yi Ang who had strong feelings against him. To the extent that he can’t wait to strangle him. If there was such a chance, he felt that Lu Yi Ang wouldn’t even hesitate to stab him.

However, he has always been too lazy to go along with what Lu Yi Ang said, so he doesn’t even bother with his instructions.

Lu Yi Ang didn’t have the ability to bring him down, much less the brains.

Lu Yiming and Lu Yi Ang contacted the principal of this haunted school with the help of the Ghost Relief Bureau. Although they didn’t explain the truth and were vague about it, they still managed to become fake substitute teachers so that it would be much more convenient to investigate.

“I’m going to class.” After Lu Yiming finished speaking, he walked away without looking back, leaving Lu Yi Ang standing with the group of coloured heads.

Lu Yi Ang chuckled, looking at Lu Yiming’s shrinking back, and, feeling very uncomfortable, snorted dismissively, “F*ck, he really thinks he is a teacher.”

Lu Yiming has always been a meticulous person. Even if he was just a fake substitute teacher, he prepared for lessons early. This has always been his style of work and he has never done things carelessly.

“Ma Yangyu. ” Lu Yiming was going through the information in his mind again, analysing the recent strange accident in school, softly reading his name out, still looking indifferent.

His primary purpose now was to investigate this person.

From the moment Lu Yiming’s feet stepped into the gate of the school, his eyes were fixed on the position of the roof of the teaching building, and he kept observing the surroundings.

Sure enough, the number of ghosts in this school was higher than that of others. There are a lot of terrible places, it can be said to be ten times, even a hundred times more horrible.

Especially the ghosts with more grievances, there were so many of them, even when compared to the hospitals. He didn’t even need to use any spells to open his own ghost eyes to feel the strong sense of resentment and grievances. It was very abnormal.

Lu Yiming observed the actions in front of him. Although the number was a bit appalling, their behaviour was still relatively normal.

Suddenly, as if Lu Yiming had discovered something, he paused slightly after taking a step towards the teaching building, and couldn’t help but look at the boy who had just walked into the school on his side, and he was stunned in place.

The boy wore a plain white shirt and jeans with his back straight, and his face was extremely white. His facial features were also very definite, just like a work of art carefully carved by God. The pair of phoenix shaped eyes looked like it had a lot of stories, complementing his already beautiful face. As long as he walks among the crowd, he will definitely be the focus of the crowd.

Of course, this was not the reason why Lu Yiming noticed him, because the Yin energy radiating from this boy was so heavy that it was hard to ignore. The degree of Yin energy would definitely be a good tonic for the grieving ghosts, enough to make all ghosts rushing to him to satisfy their appetites.

But all the grieving ghosts around him evaded subconsciously when he appeared. They also made a special way for him, as if they were afraid of getting too close to him, even their expression was a little scared.

As a ghost exterminator, he had never seen anything before, and the scene before him was simply unheard of.

Lu Yiming frowned and stared at the boy’s face, but before he could stare for more than ten seconds, he suddenly felt heart palpitations, his heart throbbed so badly, and his entire face became distorted due to the immense pain.

His muscles weakened and almost caused him to fall to the side. Fortunately, he managed to support himself on the wall in time.

A very powerful force came from nowhere, and attacked him directly, making him instantly feel as if he was bearing the weight of Mount TaiShan. It felt like a ghost was crawling out from the ground and grabbing his ankle to take him to hell. That sense of weightlessness felt as if he was free falling.

Lu Yiming breathed a sigh of relief, and his pupils dilated, he just regained awareness and his usually emotionless face only reflected discomfort, as if he had not fully regained control over his body.

‘Ha.’

Lu Yiming felt as if he heard a sneer, this sneer was a bit ethereal, and before he could adjust his state of mind, an unpretentious voice rang out of thin air in his ears, “Remember, keep your eyes to yourself and don’t look randomly!” The voice paused, a little casual, “Am I right, ghost exterminator?”

The voice was very low and bewitching, and very hoarse, but what was said hit Lu Yiming’s heart directly, and it made him breathless and completely crushed him.

Next was another sneer that caused a chill to run down his spine.

Xiao Chen noticed something, glanced at Lu Yiming, but didn’t pay attention to it.

Although he was still expressionless as usual, there was joy between his eyebrows. It was not difficult to tell that Xiao Chen was in a good mood today.

Xiao Chen’s right hand kept caressing the pendant hanging on his neck, and the corner of his mouth almost gave him away a few times, almost rising.

No one knew how Jing Hezhi turned into a necklace so that he could follow Xiao Chen out.

“So happy? “The man’s voice sounded in his ears, with a hint of ridicule, but the tone was unabashedly pampering and joyful.

The man undoubtedly enjoys the direct expression of his love for him.

He liked how the child was so straightforward, so much so that it could always fill up his heart even when he was insecure, just like an endless pit of biasness.

Sure enough, Xiao Chen’s hand continued to rub the chainsaw pendant in his palm gently, with joy between his eyebrows, he bluntly replied, “Of course!”

As the old saying goes, no one knows how they fell in love, but they still love deeply.

He loves Jing Hezhi, no doubt about that.

The man’s originally unhappy thoughts were completely swept away by Xiao Chen’s simple words. Even though Xiao Chen didn’t know the impact of his words, Xiao Chen knew the man was also feeling good from the mutual telepathy.

“Jing He Zhi. ”

“Huh? “The man’s voice rose up, with a bit of teasing, “Why did you not call me husband?”

Right after he said that, the young man who was known for being expressionless, started to blush, and it was so shameful for him.

It was all Jing Hezhi’s fault for always harassing him like crazy when he was sleeping.

Only after he takes the initiative to send him a kiss and to call him “husband” will the other side reluctantly let him off.

Of course, for the other indescribable time, when he called “husband”, he would be digging his own grave, because the man was more excited at those times.

Can’t take the risk, can’t take the risk.

Xiao Chen looked around and sighed, making sure that no one around was paying attention to his every move. With his index finger and thumb, he held up the pendant, paused, and printed a kiss on the pendant..

“Don’t cause trouble, let’s continue after we reach home.”

Afterwards, Xiao Chen loosened his grip on the pendant and continued to walk forward blankly. He was back to the expressionless face.

However, only Jing Hezhi noticed that his child’s ears had completely turned pink.

Lu Yiming didn’t know how long he had been standing there for. Even when the class bell rang, he stood in a daze and didn’t move. His eyes were dull.

The feeling of being crushed just now gave him a sense of disillusion.

It was just like he walked around hell and then the King of Hades let him off mercifully before fleeing back to Earth hurriedly.

Lu Yiming has photographic memory. He gritted his teeth, forcing himself to carefully recall the appearance of the boy who had just walked past, because he knew that this was definitely the most important clue to him.

Finally, Lu Yiming, who had just taken a step forward, his pupils shrank suddenly, and his brain paused for a short time.

He finally remembered why seeing that face would give him an indescribable sense of familiarity!

Lu Yiming took a deep breath.

The boy looked exactly the same as the one in the Ghost King painting!

Lu Yiming’s thoughts just popped into his mind, but when he thought of it further, his subconscious was telling him that it was absolutely impossible.

But no matter how much he didn’t want to admit it, the facts seemed to be right in front of him.

If all his conjectures were true, who threatened him just now?

A corner of Lu Yiming’s mouth raised, and he looked worse than if he was crying.

The answer was obvious and unquestionable!

It was the man he grew up only seeing in the books, the number one person in the world who has the ability to sweep autumn leaves with wind.

The king of ghosts...

Jing Hezhi!

Lu Yiming did not know if he was supposed to laugh now.

After all, the purpose of this job was to find the King of Ghosts.

But at this moment, he could not laugh even when he wanted to.

The fear which completely dominated him just now had also completely destroyed the arrogance he had for so many years.

He used to think that he was a genius for monkhood.

It was ridiculous!

But in front of Jing Hezhi, harming Lu Yiming seemed to be easier than killing an ant.

Thinking about this, Lu Yiming’s face became completely pale.
