Zhang Mengdi finally came to her senses and screamed, "Oh my god, there are ghosts!" She prepared to run out the door, but in this situation, if the door could still open, those ghosts would be too pathetic.
The door wouldn't budge. The two ghosts suddenly jumped off the bed. Zhang Mengdi immediately crouched down, covering her head and pleading, "Don't eat me, don't eat me! It wasn't me; it was Lin Xiuyu who told me to do it!"
I wanted to ask her what Lin Xiuyu had told her to do, but at that moment, I couldn't move at all. Now I understood just how powerful Qiao Ziyuan's talisman was; at this moment, I wished she were a half-baked Ghost Hunter.
The two ghosts were originally walking towards Zhang Mengdi. Upon hearing her words, they surprisingly stopped and turned around, bouncing over to me.
However, they halted about half a meter away from me. After exchanging glances, they suddenly moved their arms and stomped their feet before breaking into a zombie dance.
I could hardly believe my eyes. Weren't they supposed to eat me? Why were they dancing instead?
No matter what, I seized the opportunity and fervently chanted in my mind, "Garlic, garlic, come quickly!"
The zombie dance lasted for three minutes. Zhang Mengdi remained crouched at the door, too scared to speak, let alone have a change of heart and come to rescue me. Surrounding Earth, Healing Death.
I was extremely anxious, unsure of what they would do next. In the dim light, I could only see the two ghosts opening their pitch-black mouths wide, revealing long black teeth as they hissed. However, I couldn't understand a word they were saying.
Suddenly, I felt the temperature drop significantly as a gust of wind blew through. The window rattled loudly.
The two ghosts knelt on the ground in unison, placing their hands reverently on the floor in front of their knees and pressing their foreheads against their hands. Who had arrived that made them bow so deeply?
As I pondered this, a dark mass rolled into view before me. Before I could react, it quickly stretched out and revealed itself to be Lin Xiuyu's mother.
The old woman hunched over with deep-set eyes glaring at me unhappily. "Little girl," she said, "since you’ve allowed us mother and son to meet again, I’ll give you two choices. You choose one."
I remained silent; I couldn't speak even if I wanted to.
"First, die right now. Second, marry my son in the afterlife."
Of course, I didn't want to choose either option, but I had to pretend to consider them so that I could lure her into finding a way to help me tear off the talisman on my forehead.
Sure enough, the old woman wasn't entirely foolish; she immediately noticed that I was bound by the talisman. She exclaimed in surprise, "You’re also trapped by that woman's talisman?" Then she sneered coldly. "Hmph! I thought Qi Zunshang was so impressive for preventing my son from reincarnating while allowing you to become such a wretched creature."
I wasn't in the mood to argue with her; all I hoped for was that she would quickly find a way to help me remove the talisman.
Only one person remained capable of tearing the talisman. The three ghosts in front of me were definitely not among them.
The old woman quickly realized this and gestured to the two ghosts behind her, instructing them to grab Zhang Mengdi.
Zhang Mengdi trembled in fear, repeatedly saying, "Don't eat me, don't eat me."
"Shut up, you're so annoying," the old woman snapped, stuffing one of Zhang Mengdi's recently removed socks into her mouth. Zhang Mengdi's eyes rolled back, nearly fainting.
"You, tear the talisman off her," the old woman threatened, gripping Zhang Mengdi by the collar. "Otherwise, I'll twist your head off."
In such a situation, Zhang Mengdi still stubbornly shook her head, refusing to tear off the talisman. Why did I even come to accompany her? This was just ridiculous.
The old woman had no patience left; she bit down on Zhang Mengdi's neck. Terrified, Zhang Mengdi burst into tears and struggled desperately. "I'll do it, I'll do it! Just don't bite me!"
As soon as she tore the talisman from my forehead, I slapped her across the face. I had never hit anyone before in my life, but this little brat was infuriating.
The ghosts present were stunned. While I cursed at Zhang Mengdi, I took advantage of Old Ghost's distraction and slapped another talisman from my pocket against her forehead.
I remembered clearly that this talisman read "Face Covered in Grass." The old woman had been too focused on watching the commotion between me and Zhang Mengdi to anticipate my sudden move. She was caught off guard and, in the next moment, various pits and hollows began to appear on her face, from which grass started to sprout.
Wow, how magical!
I threw the "One Two Three Wooden Man" talisman at the two ghosts and sprinted toward the exit.
Wait, wait—no! The door wouldn’t open!
I quickly changed direction and ran toward the window. Third floor! I hoped that if I jumped down, I'd either die completely or survive unscathed; I didn't want to be half-dead.
But staying in the dormitory meant only one way out: death. I had to take a chance.
However, just as I reached the window, a head suddenly popped up below it, nearly making me jump right out.
It was Lin Xiuyu! After his identity was exposed, he didn’t even bother to disguise himself anymore. His head hung over the edge of the window as he opened and closed his mouth repeatedly. "Yau Ping Ting, you really won’t give me even one day?"
"You liar, stop deceiving me! My past life was never anything related to You Pingting, nor was I your fiancée. This is all just your fabrication. You think I would give you even a second? Dream on!" I turned around, grabbed a broken basin we had left in the dormitory, filled it with water, and splashed it over his head.
"Splash!" Lin Xiuyu was drenched to the bone.
I quickly realized that I seemed to have fallen into a dire situation.
If this mother-son duo teamed up, I would be utterly crushed.
"Garlic! Garlic! Help!" This time, I didn't just mutter; I shouted at the top of my lungs. There was no time to waste as the old woman behind me was slowly approaching.
Her face was covered in grass, which was visibly growing at an alarming rate, trailing down to the ground. As a result, she moved very slowly.
However, the other two ghosts were not immobilized by my talisman. Did it only work if it was stuck directly to their foreheads?
"Zhang Mengdi, you ungrateful wretch! I came here out of kindness, and yet you betray me. Even as a ghost, I won't let you off!" Now it was three ghosts against two people; Zhang Mengdi was my only potential ally. I hoped I could wake her up from this stupor.
To my surprise, she cried out to me, "Wheat, I'm sorry! This time I can't help you. I've promised Egg Brother that I'd assist him. Boohoo! Don't worry; I won't watch you die. I'll cover my eyes."
"What the hell? Why have you been shamelessly approaching me these days? Don't tell me it's all for Lin Xiuyu!"
"Yes, it's all for him, Wheat. Don't blame me; love is a powerful force. The moment I met Egg Brother, I fell for him. Everything I've done since has been for him. Although I have no idea what he wants to do, all I know is that I want to do anything for him."
"So you approached me on purpose? You weren't joking about the hospital incident; you knew everything, didn't you? Wanting to stay in our dormitory was intentional too? Coming to sleep in 308 today was also deliberate?"
"Yes, Wheat. To gain your trust, I've done many shameless things. I know everyone dislikes me, but that's okay as long as Egg Brother likes me. I deliberately bet with Gao Lele just to lure you to 308, and look—here you are!"
Listening to her words made me less angry than before. Indeed, everyone saw through her flaws; everyone wanted to distance themselves from her. It was my own foolishness that led me to follow her to 308 when I should have been worried about my own safety instead of hers.
"No wonder everyone hates you so much! You don't deserve friends at all—just a pretty face without any substance. You're dumber than a rock and have a wicked heart. People like you are only fit to associate with ghosts."
I was furious—how did I ever come to know someone like her? She was hopelessly stubborn; even in death, I had to vent my frustrations.
Lin Xiuyu was not pleased either after being splashed with cold water. He slowly climbed up from the window and spoke in an icy tone as if squeezing the words from his throat: "Youmai Vegetable, I've given you many chances to live, yet you insist on pushing yourself toward destruction. Since that's the case, I'll be merciless. The Supreme Spirit Tool crafted by the Spirit Sovereign—let's see what it's really like."
As soon as he finished speaking, I felt a chill around my neck. He had climbed up, his long fingers gripping my throat, effortlessly pinning me to the ground.
The old woman's voice was muffled by the grass, struggling to come out: "Xiao Yu, you’re here." There were always malevolent spirits wanting to harm my sister.
Lin Xiuyu ignored her and leaned in to kiss my lips.
I couldn't let him have his way so easily. Gritting my teeth, I slammed my head upward. He probably didn't expect such a powerful counterattack while my neck was being choked. I hit him squarely, causing his face to twist awkwardly.
Indeed, he was just a ghost; I thought at least some of his teeth would be knocked out.
Lin Xiuyu was furious, his teeth grinding audibly as his long nails pierced through my skin and sank into my neck.
A wave of excruciating pain surged through me. He opened his mouth again, aiming for my lips. This time, he didn't fully kiss me; instead, just an inch away, he lightly inhaled. I felt all the blood in my body rush to my head.
It was as if my body had been drained of strength, leaving me unable to resist any longer.
This sensation was completely different from when the Old Ghost had drained me before; this time it was fierce and overwhelming. Before long, I felt as if I had become nothing but a shell of myself.
