Chapter 67: The Soul-Calling Melody Reappears

  When I heard this, I looked at Yu Gang's expression and knew he had used a lot of force to hit my head. Instinctively, I reached back to touch the back of my head, not realizing it until then, but as soon as I touched it, there was a huge bump, and even light contact felt very painful. When I woke up, I hadn't noticed it, but now it hurts so much I feel like crying.

  "You damn well better not be trying to knock me out!" I flared up immediately.

  Such a big package, I don't know if it will get damaged or not?

  Yu Gang just smiled with a silly face and continued from where he left off earlier.

  As soon as he fell onto that stool, "I" simply turned back, looked at Yu Gang, smiled strangely, and then the whole person fell to the ground.

  Jason panted heavily and looked at Yu Gang with a puzzled expression, asking: "What just happened? Did he want to kill us?"

  Yu Gang also touched his own neck and thought, if Jason was late for just one second earlier, he would probably be running to see King Yan now.

  He looked at "me" who was lying on the ground with a puzzled expression, and in his heart he was guessing that this was not like Chen Cu's style. Although he was not very brave normally, he was not so bold as to do something like this. If he wanted to kill us, why not just shoot us from behind? Why bother strangling us to death?

  However, it turned out that Chen Cu actually had murderous intentions towards both of us.

  "I wasn't clear, I hadn't even reacted yet, and he pounced on me." Yu Gang said as soon as he opened his mouth, his eyes involuntarily trembling as he stared at Chen Cu on the ground, for a moment not knowing what to do.

  "Don't you think he suddenly seems like a different person, only smiling at us and not saying anything, it feels very eerie." Jason frowned tightly, got up from the ground, and looked at "me" lying on the ground.

  Yu Gang nodded and asked, "What should we do now? He will wake up eventually."

  Then the two of them agreed to wake "me" first, see how things go, and finally Jason was in charge of waking me up. The method he used was to slap me with one palm after another until I woke up.

  I glared at Jason with some annoyance and scolded him, "You always call people in that way, I reckon if you hadn't died, you would have been 'killed' by them."

  I've seen people who have been splashed with water before, but I've never seen anyone get slapped repeatedly, it seems he's addicted to hitting.

  When I woke up, I had memories and remembered them clearly.

  Yu Gang suddenly seemed to think of something important and hastily asked me, "Do you know how you became like this? You didn't see a ghost or anything else, it's impossible for a person to go crazy all at once."

  His question made me feel like the temperature around me had dropped suddenly, and I was shivering with cold. I knew it wasn't because of the low temperature, but because of the fear in my heart.

  My complexion turned extremely pale, and both of them noticed this, instinctively jumping back a few steps to be on guard.

  Seeing their actions, I couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time. I quickly said, "Don't worry, I won't go crazy again."

  He said cautiously, "Who knows."

  I didn't insist anymore, understanding their actions in my heart. After all, I did the same thing when I woke up earlier, and I even pointed a gun at them. Although I didn't have the intention of killing them at that time, I just wanted to use the gun to declare my dominance. However, this was also the reason why they were afraid.

  It's gotten to the point where this is everyone's reaction, no matter who it is, they'll all react like this. When someone bullies you and shits on your head, you can't just sit there and do nothing. Of course, you'd pick up whatever you can use and smash them with it.

  This is a reaction.

  However, my reaction was much stronger than theirs.

  I looked at them, raised my head to search for the place just now, pointed there with my hand, and stuttered: "I saw it there just now..."

  No sooner had I finished speaking than Yu Gang and Jason followed my gaze in the direction I was pointing.

  I couldn't help but open my mouth, and I couldn't bear to see it again. However, after a few minutes passed, Yu suddenly couldn't hold back and shouted: "I've been looking for half a day and still can't figure out what's going on, you tell me what you saw just now?"

  Upon hearing this, I turned around in surprise and saw their puzzled expressions, asking in shock: "Didn't you see?"

  How could that thing be invisible? I saw it at first glance and was so scared that I just wanted to escape.

  Jason saw the fear on my face and furrowed his brow tightly, asking seriously, "What did you see?"

  Neither of them saw it, I quickly stood up and looked over there, but there was nothing special there, just a corner with no corpses, empty and desolate, almost as if there was nothing at all.

  But I really can't see anything at all.

  Has it gone?

  Is it gone?

  It's not dead, it's alive, otherwise how can't you see it now?

  What is it then?

  If it were human, it would have overturned my definition of humanity.

  And I think it's not human in my heart, because of that face, which makes me feel extremely terrified.

  Yes, that's a human face, a woman's face, the same one I saw in the coffin.

  I never thought I'd see that face again. Logically, having seen it once before, my mental endurance should not have been so intimidated, yet my fear was even stronger than the first time, a chilling sensation that ran through my entire body.

  Because at that time I saw it very clearly, unlike the first time which was blurry.

  Because I clearly saw that face was exactly like Xiao Cong's face.

  What Tiebu Li said in the village before, especially about Xiang Er, left a very deep impression on me.

  At this moment, seeing a face identical to Xiang Er's here, I can no longer remain calm.

  Just then I found that the color of my face kept changing, and Jason asked suspiciously: "What did you see?"

  When I heard this question, how should I answer them? Should I say that I saw a face exactly the same as Xiaoyu's? I'm afraid they would strangle me to death.

  I took a deep breath and said, "I see a human face, it's just like the one I saw before..."

  I didn't say that face was exactly like a cabbage.

  They fell silent after hearing that, especially Jason, whose tightly pursed lips betrayed his concern.

  "I swear, I'm not hallucinating, this is the second time I've seen it..." I patted my chest to guarantee, but these words made me pause suddenly, because I thought of what the old professor told me about this face, he guessed that the reason he hadn't died yet was because of this face, in other words, this face had saved him.

  "It's not that I don't believe you, you've seen it twice already, and I've also suspected that you're being haunted by a ghost." Yu Gang furrowed his brow and analyzed: "Why can only you see it, while we can't? In the words of our family members, you've encountered a ghost."

  Run into a ghost?

  I don't believe that statement, after all, the face of that person gives me a feeling of terror, especially those eyes, it also saw me looking at it, that kind of heart-pounding, hair-raising feeling, really not funny.

  Although I don't believe it, but in my heart, I still can't help but feel a little worried. If it's really an accident, then I'll have even more worries.

  When we saw the 'yin' soldiers passing by from outside the desert, Hui'er told us that the two of us wouldn't live for long, and it was no different from what the folks said.

  Does it have to be death if you run into a ghost?

  I saw it with Yu Gang, why didn't he see the face? That's what I don't understand.

  As soon as he saw my suspicious expression, he said solemnly, "Don't be unbelieving, whether or not there are ghosts, we've seen the vanguard of the underworld before, haven't we? No one can say for sure about this thing."

  What he said also makes sense, after all, no one can clearly say what this thing is.

  Then, Jason took out some 'medicine' from the cabinet and applied it to my wound because the back of my head was really hurting. After he sprinkled some anti-inflammatory 'medicine' on it, I felt a cool sensation coming from the swollen area, just like the feeling of 'flower water'.

  The medicine had not been finished yet, when a familiar song echoed again, mournful and low.

  As I listened to this soul-stirring melody, my scalp tightened, and then the door creaked open with a loud bang.

  Is it the ghost who sings the soul-calling song?
