Rebirth: Ghost Exorciser

1591 What Happened?

Speaking of how they had provoked this thing, Yang Ji wanted to cry without tears. He was in so much pain and didn’t want to recall the past at all. When he thought of the past, he couldn’t help but think of his best friend and Liling, as well as Gu Guobin, who had died tragically today.

They were all close. Wasn’t it said that only those who deserved retribution would die?

But whether it was Liling, Guobin or his best friend, they were all good people. The three of them were the kind of people who would immediately lend a hand if they saw someone who needed help. Usually, when they encountered people asking for donations on the road, even if others said it was a scam, they would donate a lot in hopes that they could help someone.

Who would have thought that they would die so early and so tragically?

The people close to him died tragically one after another. No matter how strong Yang Ji’s heart was, he couldn’t help but collapse at that moment. Gu Guobin’s death this morning had dealt him an even greater blow.

Even if the others said he would die sooner if he said anything, Yang Ji didn’t care. He didn’t hide it anymore and recalled the matter painfully. “Actually, I don’t know how we provoked this thing. I only remember that it was Liling who first called me and said that she was going on a trip nearby with her boyfriend and Yuan Yuan. She also asked if we wanted to go. Later, everyone discussed it and decided to go together. We didn’t go traveling, but went to a temple on a nearby mountain.”

Speaking of which, he hadn’t had a good impression of the temple when he first entered the place. Unfortunately, he hadn’t dwelled on it back then, and the group still went in. Yang Ji continued, “That temple was rundown. There was no smoke or incense offerings, but there were many yellow talismans stuck on the inside and outside of the temple, and many bloody marks. There was also a huge empty coffin inside that had been painted with human faces all crowded together on the inside and outside. When we went in and saw the empty coffin, everyone jumped in fright and our scalps turned numb. We wanted to leave immediately, but at that moment, Yuan Yuan said that the temple was very good at fulfilling wishes. She said that it was rare that we had all come, so we should make a wish. What if it came true? Later, the topic somehow shifted from making a wish to playing chicken in the coffin. At that time, we all thought that it was fun and exciting. All of us guys wanted to show off in front of the girls. Later, everyone took turns lying in the coffin…”

At this point, Yang Ji’s eyes turned red with regret. These days, he had been wondering if the crux of everything they had experienced was that temple. If they hadn’t entered that temple back then, would they have avoided this string of tragic deaths?

Yang Ji’s eyes were red and filled with regret and pain. Next to him, Wang Jinyang’s eyes were also red and wet. He trembled with fear and regret.

“Then?” Chi Shuyan narrowed her eyes and asked.

Yang Ji wiped his face in pain and continued, “Less than two days after we came home from the temple, everyone started having nightmares of a crowd of twisted and strange ghost faces staring at us. At first, I thought that it was just a coincidence. After all, it’s not unusual to have nightmares. However, I actually had nightmares for a few days. Later, I asked the others, and it was the same for them. Only then did we realize that this matter was a little strange. Everyone was a little panicked and scared. This was the first time we had encountered such a strange thing. At that time, we were very scared. Seeing that nothing had happened, we scattered and pretended we didn’t know anything. On the other hand, everyone secretly went to other temples with strong incense to pray more.

“Sure enough, we didn’t have nightmares again after that. At that time, we were overjoyed and we relaxed. We thought that this matter was over. It wasn’t until Liling suddenly jumped off a building and died a tragic death, and had her face peeled off, that we realized that we had probably provoked something.”

Yang Ji trembled as he spoke in a choked voice. He was obviously very frightened and in pain. Wang Jinyang, who was next to him, also turned a little pale. He trembled and looked around warily.

This was a habit he had developed after this incident. He felt like something was staring at him.

Feng Yuanlin looked at Shuyan and wanted to say something, but didn’t interrupt Yang Ji.

Yang Ji continued in a daze, “Later, my best friend and Brother Guobin died tragically one after another. The two of them died in very different ways, but their faces were peeled off. You know the rest!”

After Yang Ji finished speaking, Feng Yuanlin finally said, “Wait, you mean there were three victims? Who was the other one? Where’s his family?”

It was Wang Jinyang who replied this time. His voice shook as he said, “It was Lin Dong. He was an orphan and had no family… A few days ago, he suddenly exploded in the bathroom. His body exploded into pieces. He lived in a remote area, so no one knew about it. He was on the phone with me when it happened. I heard a violent bang and vaguely guessed that something had happened. I immediately ran over with Brother Ji to take a look, but I was still a step too late! Apart from his head, his body was blown to pieces, and… couldn’t be pieced back together. We helped bury him in his backyard.”

At the mention of Lin Dong’s tragic death, Wang Jinyang’s body trembled and his eyes turned red. On the side, Yang Ji’s face wasn’t any better, and his whole body shook.

If it wasn’t for the fact that everyone had gathered together these past few days to support each other, they might have gone crazy long ago.

Feng Yuanlin hadn’t expected that. He fell silent for a moment, not knowing if he should continue with this questions.

Wang Jinyang tugged at his hair in pain and despair as he said anxiously, “Do you know, Lin Dong’s bathroom… We liked to stay at his place, and we also showered there countless times. His house was newly renovated and everything was new, but he suddenly exploded for no reason. This is too strange, too strange. We provoked something, we must have provoked something terrifying. I actually tried to kill myself before. I’m scared, I’m really scared. I don’t want my face to be peeled off or to die so miserably, but I can’t die no matter how I try to kill myself! I can’t die no matter what. My life isn’t in my hands at all! I’ll only be able to die when it wants me to die…”

The more Wang Jinyang spoke, the more agitated and terrified he became. Veins bulged on his forehead and on the back of his hands as he clutched his head. His eyes popped out and he looked like he was about to go crazy and collapse in despair. It was Chi Shuyan who reacted quickly and knocked him unconscious on the back of his neck. Feng Yuanlin and Yang Ji heaved sighs of relief.

Who knew if it was because of Wang Jinyang’s agitated words just now, but Yang Ji’s eyes were bloodshot and filled with despair. He kept scratching the table surface, and didn’t realize that his nails were bleeding.

Chi Shuyan patted Yang Ji’s shoulder and said, “Calm down. Since I’ve taken over this matter, I definitely won’t let you die.”

Chi Shuyan’s tone was confident. For a moment, Yang Ji didn’t know if he really believed her or if he was just treating her as his last hope. His lifeless and despairing expression relaxed a little.

Chi Shuyan heaved a sigh of relief, and Brother Feng asked again, “Okay, I have another question. Does Miss Yuan really have the ability to foresee things?”

Yang Ji nodded!

“When did it start? No, I should ask, did she have this ability before or after this incident?” Chi Shuyan asked.

Yang Ji thought for a while before replying, “It seems that it was after this happened. Yes, she suddenly had this ability after that.”

At the mention of Yuan Yuan’s foresight, Yang Ji felt bitter. However, he never thought much of it and was at most a little envious. At the same time, the group also felt that Yuan Yuan’s sudden foresight ability might be a gift to help them escape this calamity.

It was a pity that although Yuan Yuan could predict it every time, she could only foresee it a minute or two before something happened. Moreover, even if she could foresee it, it was very difficult and practically impossible to change their fates. In short, Yuan Yuan had made three predictions, but it did nothing to prevent the tragic deaths.

Chi Shuyan looked up and saw that Yang Ji’s expression was still normal. She continued to ask, “Since she can predict them in advance, why did the deaths still happen?”

Yang Ji recounted with a very bitter expression that Yuan Yuan could only foresee the death a minute or two before it happened. His tone was even more bitter as he said, “Our situation is just like in the movie ‘Death Is Here,’ or even worse than that. Although Yuan Yuan can foresee it, it’s only a minute or two before it happens. Usually, it’s too late for us to rush over even if we want to. Even if we can stop it, the person who was supposed to die will still continue on the path toward death, and will die even more tragically after that! For example, Lin Dong shouldn’t have died so tragically!”
