Chapter 43

  "Sister, is it you? If so, please move the plate to 'yes'."

  They watched as the disc slowly moved onto the surface and then stopped.

  Li Yi-qian looked at everyone in surprise and then asked: "So did sister commit suicide?"

  The disc moved slightly and remained on top of it.

  "Sister, why are you so stupid? Why did you want to commit suicide, don't you know how sad dad and mom are?" Li Yiqian said with tears.

  The saucer was shaking violently, as if it was about to shatter. Su Jiner wanted to remind Li Yiqian to ask the key question, but Li Yiqian just stared blankly into space, tears streaming down her face, as if she had seen her sister.

  "Xiao Qing, why did you want to commit suicide? Was it really because of the pressure? Or was there something that happened that you couldn't solve?" Su Jiner had no choice but to ask herself.

  The record suddenly stopped in the middle of two words. They looked at the record under their fingers with tension, and their breathing became rapid.

  The disc suddenly vibrated, constantly rotating between yes and no. They wanted to take their fingers away, but found that their fingers seemed to be sucked onto the disc and couldn't be pulled off. They looked at the disc in horror as it moved wildly, feeling a needle-like pain at their fingertips.

  "Jin'er, my fingers hurt so much, they really hurt." Lin Yuan said.

  "Me too, Qianqian, hurry up and send her away, quickly!"

  Li Yi-qian looked at the disc in a flurry, she still had something to ask, she wanted to know everything.

  "Qianqian, hurry up, or we'll all be dead!" Su Jiner yelled.

  Li Yi Qian said with tears in her eyes: "Sister, our questions are finished, you can leave now."

  The plate was still spinning wildly, showing no signs of stopping, and the candles around it suddenly flared up again, giving them a fright.

  "She refused to leave, we let go of each other's hands together, I counted one, two, three."

  As Su Jin'er's voice fell, they simultaneously released the plates. The plates spun around twice on the paper before shattering to the ground, extinguishing all the surrounding candles in an instant. The sudden darkness sent them into a moment of terror.

  "Turn on the light quickly."

  After the lights came on, they saw Li Yi Qian lying on the ground, as if searching for something. However, when they looked closer, they found that she was licking the floor with her tongue, slowly and seemingly savoring the taste.

  "Qianqian, what are you doing?" Su Jiner squatted down and looked at her.

  Li Yi Qian didn't speak, still quietly licking the ground. Su Jin Er tried to pull her up with all her might, but found that Li Yi Qian's strength was surprisingly great and she couldn't be pulled up at all. She asked Lin Yuan to help her, and only then were they barely able to pull her up. However, Li Yi Qian's gaze remained fixed on the ground, her strength astonishingly great.

  "What's wrong with her? Won't she be possessed by evil spirits?" Lin Yuan pulled her hard, his face also turning bright red.

  "We must think of a way to wake her up. You hold her tight, I'll go get some cold water." Su Jin'er let go of her hand and quickly ran into the bathroom.

  Su Jiner poured a basin of cool water over Li Yiqian's head, and she took a deep breath before fainting.

  They lifted Li Yi Qian onto the bed, changed her wet clothes, and Su Jin Er covered her with a quilt before asking: "Have you seen when she became like this?"

  "I was just thinking of turning on the light quickly and didn't notice what she was doing at all."

  Su Jiner closed her eyes, and at that time she didn't see what Li Yiqian was doing either, because she saw a white shadow floating from the window, which scared her.

  At this time, Du Xiaonan suddenly woke up: "What are you doing?"

  "Xiao Nan, how did you wake up?" Su Jin'er walked over and stood up, looking at Du Xiao Nan.

  "I've slept for a long time. This is the best sleep I've had in a month. I was woken up by hunger." She said with an embarrassed smile.

  Du Xiaonan got down from bed and looked at the water on the floor, saying: "Were you guys playing with water just now?"

  "No, something unexpected happened, what do you want to eat?" Su Jin'er brought a mop and cleaned up the water on the floor.

  "I think you have no choice, we only have this one." Lin Yuan said, holding up a package of instant noodles.

  "It doesn't matter, as long as I can eat. I'm really starving now, it's like I haven't eaten for many years." She took the instant noodles from Lin Yuan's hand, opened the thermos and poured in hot water.

  Before long, the room was filled with the aroma of instant noodles. Du Xiaonan looked at Su Jiner, who was picking up things that hadn't been put away yet, and said, "You guys were just playing the Dish Fairy game, weren't you?"

  Su Jiner picked up the candles on the ground and said: "Well, but this game really can't be played casually!"

  "Jin'er, what is this?" Su Jin'er's voice had just fallen when she heard Lin Yuan's tense words.

  Du Xiaonan and Su Jiner walked to Lin Yuan's side together, she was picking up things on the table, unexpectedly discovered the traces left by the broken plate, as if explaining something.

  Looking at the fragments of the plate on the ground, Su Jin'er's eyes widened in surprise. This was simply an impossible thing to happen.

  "And this one too!"

  Su Jin'er suddenly sat on the bed, her face pale, her lips trembling non-stop. How could this be? How could it be like this?

  The fragments of the plate that fell to the ground surprisingly formed a "death" character, and after the last two rotations of the plate, a "Chu" character suddenly appeared in the middle of the paper. This means that Li Yiqing's death is related to this "Chu" character, and the first person that comes to mind when they think of this character is Chu Feifan. Could it be that this series of murders were all committed by Chu Feifan?

  She didn't believe it, she didn't believe that this was impossible. Maybe the word "Chu" wasn't referring to a surname, maybe there's another meaning. Yes, that must be it. She couldn't just make a conclusion based on one word alone. This absolutely wasn't something he would do.

  Although she tried to convince herself that he was not the murderer, the grief that surged out of her chest almost made her collapse, her hands clenched tightly, with finger bones showing a grayish color due to the force.

  "Jin'er, this might be referring to something else. Don't be too upset, we just discovered this one word, maybe it has a different meaning?"

  What else does it mean?

  She suddenly thought of something, and looked at the fragments on the ground and the paper that she had thrown to the ground. If the "Chu" character wasn't referring to the murderer, if the words on the ground and the words on the paper were read together, wouldn't it be...

  A bad premonition was like a pair of invisible hands suddenly grasping her neck, she took out her phone to call Chu Fei Fan, but instead heard a pleasant female voice: Sorry, the number you dialed is currently unavailable!

  She leaned weakly against the wall, she really shouldn't have believed Wen Shi's words, playing this game, didn't know if it was because of this game that angered someone, or if this game was warning itself that he might be in danger!

  Du Xiaonan looked at Su Jiner, then at Lin Yuan, and stared at the paper on the ground: "Are these two words telling us that someone with the surname Chu might die?"

  Her words were like a bomb that suddenly exploded next to Su Jin'er's ear, she covered her chest in pain, why was she so concerned, why did knowing he might die make her heart ache so much, tears fell like broken pearls, continuously rolling onto the white floor.

  "It hurts so much!" At this time, Li Yiqian woke up.

  Lin Yuan and Du Xiaonan helped her up, Lin Yuan asked: "Where does it hurt?"

  "My tongue and mouth hurt so much!"

  "Did you eat something that gave you heartburn?"

  Du Xiaonan seemed to be completely unaware of the danger of the current situation, she picked up the cooked noodles and started eating.

  Lin Yuan looked at her with an odd expression.

  "Qianqian, don't you remember what just happened?" Su Jiner wiped away her tears and said, now we must solve the problem, crying won't solve anything.

  Li Yi Qian shook her head: "I only remember that we were playing with the pen fairy, then the plate suddenly spun quickly by itself and fell to the ground. After that, I don't remember anything else."

  She asked Lin Yuan to hand her a mirror. Looking at her own tongue in the mirror, she let out an "ah" of fright, and the mirror fell to the ground, shattering into pieces.

  "What's wrong?"

  "My tongue, how did it become like this?" Li Yi Qian said vaguely.

  As they looked at Li Yi-qian's swollen tongue, which almost filled her entire mouth, Su Jin-er and the others gasped in shock. Meanwhile, Du Xiao-nan continued eating noodles without any concern, leaving them even more perplexed.

  Su Jiner told her that Li Yiqian had licked the ground with her tongue, and she was shocked to open her mouth wide, completely forgetting that she had done such a thing.

  "Which of you saw a white shadow last?" Su Jiner said.

  "White Shadow?"

  Lin Yuan and Li Yi Qian both shook their heads.

  "When Xiaoyuan went to turn on the light, I saw a white shadow floating out of our window, it was a woman."

  Su Jin'er's words made them even more shocked and fearful, a white shadow floated out of the window, there was only one thing that could do it, people were fundamentally impossible to go down from the fourth floor, let alone float out, and during this time they did not hear any sound of opening or closing windows.

  "That must be a ghost for sure, or maybe it's your sister?" Du Xiaonan giggled and pointed at Li Yiqian who was still trembling.

  Several people heard her careless and joking words, looked at her strangely, while she seemed to have not seen it, wiped her mouth, put the finished noodles on the table, and then crawled onto the bed to sleep.

  Several people watched her complete all the movements like a monster, and soon a faint snoring sound was heard.

  "What's going on with her?" Lin Yuan said in puzzlement.

  "Qianqian, what's wrong?" Su Jiner asked.

  Li Yi Qian struggled to say a sentence, but no one could hear clearly, so she shook her head and wrote a sentence on the paper: She slept at that psychologist's place, nothing happened on the way back, and after returning home, she said she was sleepy and continued sleeping.

  Su Jiner closed her eyes in distress. Today's events were really too strange. Was it all just someone playing tricks or was there really a ghost at work?!
