1622 Yang Ji’s Horror
When Yang Ji woke up the next day, he found it hard to believe that he could still see the sun. The bedroom curtains and the window were open. The sun was shining brightly outside. When Yang Ji saw that the weather was good, he was excited and shaky.
Just then, Feng Yuanlin came in and called out, “Yang Ji.”
When Yang Ji saw that Director Feng was in his place, he was very excited and incredulous. He didn’t know if it was because he suddenly remembered what happened last night, but Yang Ji suddenly looked around.
The weather was good, so the bedroom was well lit. Everything looked the same, as if he had just had a nightmare last night. It wasn’t until he felt pain in his neck that Yang Ji hurriedly reached out to touch it. After confirming that there really was a wound on his neck, the nightmare-like memory of last night flooded his mind like a bolt from the blue, scaring Yang Ji immensely.
There was also the bottom of the bed. Thinking of how a hand had reached out from under the bed last night, Yang Ji was so scared that he rolled off the bed and onto the floor. His body trembled with fear and he stared fixedly at the bottom of the bed. There was nothing under the big bed, but Yang Ji couldn’t believe it and felt anxious.
When he saw Feng Yuanlin, it was as if he was seeing his last hope. He hurriedly hugged Feng Yuanlin’s thigh and instantly cried with snot and tears on his face. He stuttered in agitation and fear, “Director Feng, Director Feng, last night… something hurt me last night. That thing wanted to hurt me!”
Recalling the successive deaths of Liling and the others, the more Yang Ji thought about it, the more frenetic and terrified he became. He kept repeating, “I’m going to die! I’m going to die! Yuan Yuan’s prediction was right. I’m going to die soon!
“I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die! Someone save me! Someone save me!” Yang Ji cried until his voice was hoarse.
The more he thought about the terrifying scene last night, the more scared he became. If he was going to be killed that way, he might as well kill himself first. At least, he would be in less pain!
Because something happened to this kid last night, Feng Yuanlin hadn’t gone back. Seeing that Feng Yuanlin was scared out of his wits, he was about to comfort him, when Shuyan came over, leaned against the door frame, and said first, “Don’t worry, you’ll be fine!” After a pause, she took out the talisman she had picked up from the floor in the hallway last night. She looked at Yang Ji and asked, “Did you lose this talisman? I found it on the floor!”
She had seen this talisman on the floor last night. She guessed that it had accidentally dropped. This kid had been so careless; no wonder something had happened to him. If she and Brother Feng had been a little later, this kid would probably already have been a corpse today, and wouldn’t have been able to see the sun.
Chi Shuyan’s tone was especially calm, but her words struck Yang Ji like a bolt from the blue again. He hurriedly looked at the empty red string around his wrist and thought of the clothes he had thrown into the dirty basket last night. The other talismans were all in the pocket.
Thinking this, Yang Ji’s face turned incomparably pale, and for a moment, all the blood drained from his lips. Fortunately, Feng Yuanlin opened his mouth in time to comfort Yang Ji. “Okay, it’s fine, it’s fine. Shuyan saved you last night.” After a pause, Feng Yuanlin took the talisman from Shuyan’s hand and handed it to Yang Ji. “Keep this talisman close to you in the future. If that happens again, Shuyan and I might not be able to make it next time.”
Feng Yuanlin calmly stated the facts, and Yang Ji was both agitated and relieved. He hurriedly took the talisman and carefully put it back into his pocket as he stared fixedly at Master Chi with shining eyes. His gaze was completely different from before.
If Yang Ji had believed her before because of the talismans in the shop, after last night, he now completely believed that Master Chi had the ability to save them. Yang Ji’s eyes were especially hot and excited as he looked at Master Chi for help. “Master, please save me, save me! I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die!”
He had been able to escape last night, but that might not happen a second time. Yang Ji made up his mind not to stay at home alone anymore, and was prepared to follow Director Feng back to the police station later. In fact, Yang Ji wanted to follow Master Chi all the time so that his life would be safe.
Chi Shuyan felt her hair stand on end under Yang Ji’s unusually hot gaze. Fortunately, Brother Feng patted this kid’s head in time to calm him down. They would wait for him outside in the living room.
This kid had been so scared last night that he pissed his pants. Feng Yuanlin was the one who had helped change this kid’s clothes, and had just changed him into pajamas. Feng Yuanlin was going to let this kid put on his clothes first and calm down.
When Yang Ji heard that the two were going to go outside and leave him alone, his heart trembled. Fortunately, the bedroom door didn’t have to be closed. Master Chi and Director Feng were outside, so Yang Ji still felt a little safe.
Trembling, Yang Ji opened the closet and looked for clothes. His mind finally calmed down a little.
When he came out, he didn’t expect Master Chi to have helped cook some porridge. There were also deep-fried dough sticks and steamed buns on the coffee table.
Yang Ji was in disbelief. Feng Yuanlin also looked at the various foods on the table in surprise and asked Shuyan, “Shuyan, when did you go out and buy them?”
“Earlier!” Chi Shuyan then called the two of them over for breakfast.
Unlike Brother Feng, she wouldn’t get tired even if she didn’t sleep the entire night. Brother Feng hadn’t slept much last night, so it was better to have breakfast this morning. As for Yang Ji, he had most likely been scared out of his wits last night. It wasn’t bad to have a good breakfast.
While Brother Feng and Yang Ji were eating, Chi Shuyan secretly took out her phone and sent a message under the table. Taking a bite of a bun, Feng Yuanlin knew at a glance that Shuyan was most likely texting to explain why she hadn’t returned last night.
He basically hadn’t slept all of last night and had watched Shuyan text Zhenbai the whole time. Now, she was texting him again in the morning. Fine, he was a little full from the PDA.
He had been worried in the past when he saw the two of them fall out. Now that he saw how clingy this couple was, Feng Yuanlin felt that he as a single man was too pitiful.
Fine, after dealing with Yang Ji and the others, he would definitely look for a reliable girlfriend.
Feng Yuanlin and Chi Shuyan were relaxed as they ate breakfast. Yang Ji, on the other hand, was on edge, and ate like this breakfast was his last meal.
Yang Ji didn’t plan to hide things. After the meal, he explained what happened last night. Yang Ji said, “Master, Director Feng, it was Yuan Yuan who looked for me last night. She suddenly asked me to meet her, for Liling’s sake, and she then predicted that I wouldn’t live past tonight. I was scared and didn’t think things through, so I came home. By the way, I also lost my phone, but I called Jinyang on the house phone last night and asked him to help me let you know where I was. Did you rush over after Jinyang let you know?”
When Yang Ji thought of last night, there was still deep fear in his heart. It was a good thing he had called Jinyang last night. Otherwise, Master and Director Feng might not have known that something had happened to him.
Yang Ji made a note to thank Jinyang later, and he didn’t notice the strange expressions on Feng Yuanlin and Chi Shuyan’s faces.
The two looked at each other, and Feng Yuanlin blurted out, “Wait, you said you called Wang Jinyang last night? When? Shuyan and I didn’t hear anything.”
Yang Ji was in disbelief. He gave an approximate time, but looking at Director Feng’s slightly befuddled expression, he himself was a bit stupefied. Could it be that Jinynag had forgotten to mention it?
That was impossible. Yang Ji trusted Wang Jinyang very much.
Chi Shuyan looked at the stupefied Yang Ji and made a guess.
Feng Yuanlin didn’t let Yang Ji dwell on it any longer. He quickly switched topics to Yuan Yuan’s prediction last night. He suddenly said, “Wait, didn’t you say that Miss Yuan’s predictions always happen only a minute or two before something happens?”
There was no way it had only been a minute or two between that Yuan woman meeting Yang Ji and Yang Ji coming home.
Yang Ji hadn’t thought much of this before; what he and the others had focused on was how accurate Yuan Yuan’s predictions were. Hearing Director Feng suddenly ask this question, Yang Ji was actually a little stumped. He was conflicted for a while before he said with a very heavy expression, “Actually, to be honest, we aren’t very clear about Yuan Yuan’s specific foresight abilities. When something first happened, we did try asking her to make things clear, but she didn’t say much and was very vague!”
Speaking of which, one of the main reasons why Yang Ji didn’t feel safe with Yuan Yuan was because he felt that apart from Xia Mingcheng, she didn’t really care about anyone else in their group. Moreover, he felt that she knew more, but was hiding a lot and didn’t really make things clear to them.
There were many questions she couldn’t answer as well as disdained to explain.
They had all relied on Yuan Yuan before, so they didn’t dare offend her.
Feng Yuanlin and Chi Shuyan roughly understood what Yang Ji meant.
At that moment, they were almost done with breakfast. Yang Ji took the initiative to wash the dishes. After that, he hurried over and asked apprehensively, “Master, Director Feng, where… where am I going now?”
Feng Yuanlin now knew that the next person to die would be Yang Ji. He also had a headache over where Yang Ji should go and how to protect his life. Feng Yuanlin thought for a moment, then simply looked at Shuyan and said, “Shuyan, why don’t you take him back first?”
Feng Yuanlin thought that Shuyan would hesitate, but who would have thought that she would be especially resolute in her agreement? “Okay!”
Yang Ji: …
