Rebirth: Ghost Exorciser

1621 Something Happened to Yang Ji

Before Yang Ji could get up, the lights suddenly went out. His heart was already in his throat, and he was so scared that his soul almost left his body. His heart seemed to jump out of his chest, and his back was instantly wet with cold sweat.

His mind was blank and he couldn’t think anymore. Driven by survival instincts, he hurried to the front door and yanked it open shakily.

Just as he opened the door, the lights in his place came back on.

It seemed that the property manager was talking to someone next door. He was explaining in a loud voice that the lights had suddenly gone out because of a breaker trip. It was nothing serious.

Seeing other people all of a sudden, Yang Ji was scared out of his wits and caught off guard. Standing under the bright lights, it was as if he had just come back to life. He gasped heavily for breath for a few minutes before he calmed down a little.

He stood motionless, his eyes fixed on the property manager.

The property manager seemed to sense that someone was looking in his direction, and immediately tilted his head, only to see the person next door staring at him.

Although the property manager was a bit puzzled, when he thought of the sudden blackout just now, he immediately explained, “I’m sorry, sir, there’s been a problem with the breakers in this building recently. I reckon there will be a blackout from time to time, but don’t worry, we’ve already gotten someone to come in and fix the breakers. The blackout will definitely not last more than half an hour. I hope you understand!”

Yang Ji’s neighbor’s face still looked a little bad, but when he heard that the property manager had already gotten someone to fix the issue, his expression improved a little.

As for Yang Ji, he just felt lingering fear. The property manager’s explanation was music to his ears – the sudden blackout just now wasn’t for any other reason; it was a normal power cut.

Yang Ji heaved a sigh of relief in his heart and nodded at the property manager with a good expression. “It’s fine!”

Yang Ji stood at the door until the property manager left and his neighbor went back inside.

Although he had been fine just now, Yang Ji still instinctively felt uneasy again. He immediately went to the landline in the living room to call the Master. Unfortunately, he didn’t have the Master’s number. After thinking about it, Yang Ji simply decided to call the others and get them to help inform the Master that he was at home.

Soon, the call went through.

When Yang Ji heard Wang Jinyang’s familiar voice on the other end of the line, he finally heaved a sigh of relief. He immediately said to Wang Jinyang, “Jinyang, I’m at home now. Can you help me pass on the message to Director Feng or the Master later?”

As Yang Ji spoke, he vaguely heard a rustling sound on the other end of the line before Wang Jinyang slowly replied and said that he would pass the message on right away.

“Thank you, Jinyang!” Yang Ji wasn’t in a hurry to hang up; when he thought of Yuan Yuan’s prediction, he still felt a little terrified.

Before tonight, Yang Ji would say that he wasn’t afraid of death. Sometimes, when he thought of Liling, he thought of accompanying her in the afterlife to make it up to her. However, now that he knew he really might die, and recalling how tragic his friends’ deaths had been, there was no way Yang Ji could say that he wasn’t afraid of death.

The main reason why he could remain so calm until now was because he was more willing to believe in Master Chi and the talismans which she had given him.

Master Chi said that as long as he carried the talismans on him, he would be fine. Afraid that he had lost the talismans the way he had with this cell phone, Yang Ji subconsciously put his hand in his pocket. After confirming that the talismans which Master Chi had given to him hadn’t fallen out with his phone, he heaved a sigh of relief, and he became a little more clear-headed. Looking at the dark night outside, he felt a little uneasy. He immediately made a decision and suddenly said to Wang Jinyang, “Jinyang, Yuan Yuan met me today. She predicted that… something would happen to me tonight. Can you help me contact Master Chi immediately and ask her to come to my house?”

“He… he, no problem!” ‘Wang Jinyang’s voice suddenly turned sharper, and when he answered, there was a hint of gloating and impatience in it. His voice was also a bit rougher than usual, like a metal shovel constantly scraping over cement, which was very ear-piercing.

When Yang Ji hung up, his expression was a bit blank. He felt that there was something wrong with Wang Jinyang’s voice just now. Not only was it rough and unpleasant, it was also mechanical, and didn’t sound human at all.

Yang Ji felt that he was probably thinking too much. Yes, he was definitely thinking too much. It was clearly Wang Jinyang’s number that he had called, and the person who answered was also Jinyang.

After calling Wang Jinyang to pass on the message, Yang Ji relaxed and his complexion improved a lot. At that moment, he felt that his whole body was sticky and wet. He thought that since the Master would be coming to his place later, he might as well take a shower first.

Yang Ji didn’t forget that Master Chi had said before that the talismans were waterproof, and he could wear them in the shower. Before he went to take a shower, he found a red string from the drawer and tied a talisman around his wrist. He put it on before he went to take a shower.

The sound of running water quickly came from the bathroom. Yang Ji showered quite quickly. He threw his dirty clothes into a basket to wash tomorrow.

After putting on his clothes, he walked out. However, when he reached the door, his wrist suddenly scraped over a nail that was sticking out of the door. There was a small cut, and it hurt so much that Yang Ji sucked in a breath of air. Fortunately, it was just a minor injury. Yang Ji didn’t take it to heart. He walked in the direction of the living room, and didn’t realize that after taking a few steps, the talisman hanging on the red string suddenly fell to the floor; there was only a bare red string around his wrist.

Yang Ji waited in the living room for a long while, but Master Chi still didn’t come. He didn’t know if it was because his mood had fluctuated too much tonight, but after taking a shower, Yang Ji felt tired all over. As soon as he sat on the couch, he almost fell asleep.

He forced himself to keep his eyes open, but Master Chi still had yet to arrive. In the end, he couldn’t suppress his sleepiness, and even the fear in his heart lessened.

He simply went back to his bedroom to sleep. The bedroom door was open, but he didn’t close it. In any case, if Master Chi came knocking and pressed the bell later, he should be able to hear her.

Yang Ji went to the big bed and fell asleep. He didn’t notice that the window, which had been shut earlier, was suddenly wide open, and the wind was blowing inside.

Not long after, a colorful doll appeared on the table. On a closer look, the doll’s face was painted with two thick layers of rouge, and its lips were as red as blood. It had eyes, a nose, and a mouth, but its face was especially small and flat. The features on the doll looked like they had been drawn by hand.

No, up close, it looked more like folds or wrinkles where the face was; an eye or a mouth could be seen here and there, which was very creepy-looking.

At that moment, the doll suddenly spun crazily. As it spun, its eyes turned red and its smile was strange and evil. It stared fixedly at Yang Ji on the bed as if it was looking at a dead person. It stared at his face and drooled.

Yang Ji was a little sleepy. When he fell asleep, he felt something knocking on the bottom of the bed. At first, there was a thud. Seeing that he didn’t wake up, the thuds became faster and faster.

Not only that, Yang Ji felt something sticky and cold touch his face, disturbing his rest.

If Yang Ji had opened his eyes at that moment, he would have seen a deathly white hand with sharp red nails reaching out from under the bed to touch his face. The five fingers were covered in bright red nail polish, but there was no sense of beauty about them. Instead, they were very cold.

Not only that, the five fingernails had sharp points. At that moment, the fingers traced over Yang Ji’s face and chin with ease. The fingertips sank slightly into his flesh, and bright red blood immediately sprayed out of Yang Ji’s neck.

Yang Ji finally felt pain at that moment. He immediately opened his eyes and wanted to cry out, but the hand grabbed his neck tightly and he struggled non-stop. There was gloating laughter around him, which then turned into what sounded like a baby crying.

Yang Ji shuddered violently. Then, he saw with his own eyes more than a dozen sharp and thick nails suddenly appear out of thin air above his limbs. They were about to pierce his flesh. Yang Ji’s eyes rolled back in horror and despair as he stared fixedly at the thick and sharp silver nails. Not long after, tears, snot, and urine covered the bed.

“Save… me! Save…”

Yang Ji realized that he really didn’t want to die and was afraid of dying. He thought that he was dead for sure. Just as he felt his chin and face hurt more and more, he vaguely heard the sound of a door being kicked open, which was followed by a white light and a wretched scream. Yang Ji’s vision turned black and he fell into darkness!
