Rebirth: Ghost Exorciser - Chapter 1812

Chapter 1812 – 1812 Old Liang Family Residence, Drop the Handkerchief

1812 Old Liang Family Residence, Drop the Handkerchief
By the time Sister-in-law came back, it was already dark. It was almost 9pm. Qi Hao didn’t forget Fang Yu and Lu Ningwen’s exhortations, and immediately told his sister-in-law what they had told him in the afternoon. He also told her about how Zhou Chengfei had asked Fang Yu to go to his room alone a couple of nights ago. As he spoke, he couldn’t help but mention the missing Xiao Ying.

It could be said that Xiao Ying had really helped block a disaster for Fang Yu. Qi Hao felt quite sorry toward her, but sometimes, whether a person lived or died was up to fate.

Qi Hao couldn’t help but feel a chill run down his spine as he spoke, mainly because that Zhou guy obviously wasn’t human by that point, but he looked no different on the outside; if Qi Hao were Fang Yu, he wouldn’t have suspected anything either. Fortunately, his sister-in-law had always told him to stay away from that Zhou guy. Thinking this, he looked up and saw that his sister-in-law’s face was very calm at that moment. She wasn’t surprised by his words at all. He couldn’t help but ask, “Sister-in-law, did you already know that the Zhou guy wasn’t human?”

Chi Shuyan didn’t answer the question directly. She hummed perfunctorily and sat on the couch to think.

Qi Hao was a chatterbox by nature in front of people he knew. He couldn’t help but say, “By the way, Sister-in-law, Lu Ningwen and Fang Yu repeated today that Du Zhong isn’t a good person. We really have to be careful. You don’t know, but not long after you went out in the evening, that person actually wanted to force Brother Lu to switch rooms. He was the one who didn’t like that room in the beginning. Now that we’re staying here, he wants to switch back? How spoiled is he?”

The more Qi Hao spoke, the more disgusted he felt about that Du guy. Recalling the hatred in Du Zhong’s eyes when he looked at Lu Ningwen before he left, Qi Hao felt uneasy for Lu Ningwen. He had seen many such villains. Petty offenses were one thing, but he was afraid that Du Zhong would try to screw Lu Ningwen over in a critical moment.

Qi Hao was just saying whatever came to mind, but didn’t expect his sister-in-law to look at him very seriously. “It’s good to stay away from that Du guy. He’s indeed not a good person; he has a character problem.”

Back then, when Du Zhong realized that there was something wrong with Zhou Chengfei, he actually ran away without letting anyone around him know; it was clear that there was something very wrong with his character.
It was common for people to be selfish in order to protect themselves, but if you could clearly save a human life, yet never say a word and only cared about yourself, this was more than just being selfish, and was a problem with your character. The probability of such a person discovering his conscience could only be said to be very low.

It would be good for Haozi to stay away from the other party to avoid being tricked.

Qi Hao firmly believed in his sister-in-law’s words. Coupled with Lu Ningwen and Fang Yu’s exhortations, he hurriedly nodded. “Sister-in-law, I got it!”

“You should also tell Lu Ningwen to stay away from the other party as much as possible in the next few days so that he won’t be tricked.” Chi Shuyan also knew that her words were redundant; Lu Ningwen didn’t look stupid. He had seen through Du Zhong, so he would naturally be wary. However, Chi Shuyan still appreciated the fact that he had taken the initiative to turn down Song Yanru’s offer to switch rooms on Haozi’s behalf; this extra word of advice was also a token of Chi Shuyan’s appreciation.

“I understand, Sister-in-law!” Qi Hao chuckled. “By the way, Sister-in-law, do you know where Xiao Ying is now? Is it possible that she left first?”

Chi Shuyan indulged Qi Hao’s gossipy nature and replied seriously, “The probability that she left this place isn’t high; there’s a 80 to 90% chance she’s already dead. I don’t know where the body is yet, so I can only look for it tomorrow.”

Qi Hao silently mourned for the unlucky Xiao Ying and also rejoiced for Fang Yu.

“By the way, Sister-in-law, do you want to video call my cousin?”

“The signal probably won’t get better in the next few days, so there’s no way to video call him. We’ll talk about it after we leave this place,” Chi Shuyan said.

Qi Hao muttered in confusion, “Wasn’t there still a signal last night? Why isn’t there any today? I wonder if there will be a signal tomorrow?”

Chi Shuyan thought to herself that the chances weren’t high, but she didn’t say anything, for fear that Qi Hao would dwell on it. She picked up the phone on the table and looked at the time. It was almost 10pm. Her face was a bit solemn as she said, “Haozi, rest up first. Sleep for half an hour or an hour. You need to be ready and able tonight. I’m afraid something will happen.”

Qi Hao was shocked by her words, and his face changed drastically. He still wanted to ask more, but Chi Shuyan didn’t let him. She waved her hand and told him to sleep first.

“Oh!”

An hour passed quickly. At 11:30pm, there was a sudden knock on the door. Only after three knocks did Chi Shuyan walk to the door and pull it open, but there was no one outside. However, there was a card on the floor, which was different from the exquisite cards prepared by the production team.

This card was a bit yellow with age. It was completely white, but when Chi Shuyan picked it up, there was a bright red handprint and a drop of blood on the other side, which looked terrifying.

Chi Shuyan had seen too many such things; she wasn’t scared by this at all. After examining the surface of the card expressionlessly, she then opened it. There was a white slip of paper inside.

On it was a game mission: “Drop the Handkerchief.” Filming would start at 12pm sharp.

“Come, come, everyone, come and play Drop the Handkerchief tonight. Drop it lightly behind the little friend’s back, don’t tell him. Hurry, hurry, catch him, hurry and catch him.”

At the end of the lyrics was a bright red handprint and scattered drops of blood.

Chi Shuyan didn’t get the meaning at first, but when she turned the paper upside down, she saw that the red blood droplets clearly spelled the word “death.” The large “death” word sent a chill down her spine. She looked up at the window. An inexplicably icy wind blew in.

There was a yellow light outside, but it wasn’t bright; at that moment, the window looked like the mouth of a black beast about to swallow a person. Chi Shuyan had just looked away, when several screams rang out.

Qi Hao woke up. He rushed out of the bedroom in his pajamas in a fluster. Seeing his sister-in-law standing calmly at the door, he hurriedly said, “Sister-in-law, did something happen just now? Why did I hear screams?”
