Rebirth: Ghost Exorciser

Perhaps it was because Ji Mingshu was talking about being possessed, but looking at the increasingly dark night outside the bus windows, Su Yu and the others suddenly felt a chill for no reason. It was clearly only around 6pm, but the sky was actually darker than usual.

Su Yu also looked at the time and confirmed that it was only 6:30pm. It usually wasn't dark at this time. Now, however, staring at the darkening sky outside the bus, he felt uncertain. Recalling what had just happened in the water, his feet felt cold.

Speaking of which, he hadn't thought much of it earlier. Like Yu Bo, he just thought that he had accidentally gotten tangled up in seaweed when he jumped into the river. However, he thought of the talisman in his pocket just now; the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something wasn't right. Nearly drowning in the river earlier had left him with lingering fear. At the same time, he understood that something had really been tugging at his leg back then, as if it didn't want him to swim back to shore.

Fortunately, it hadn't been long before he broke free.

It was fine if Su Yu didn't dwell on it, but the more he thought about it, the more his hair stood on end, and he couldn't help but clench his fists.

"Are there really ghosts in this world?" Although Yao Zhao was shocked, there was still some hesitation and doubt in his eyes. In the end, people were like this: If they didn't really see anything, they would still have some doubts.

Yao Zhao's voice was neither loud nor soft. Chi Shuyan didn't speak for a long time, but Mao Di, Meng Ping and Huang Shanming, who were sitting on the side, heard him. The three of them couldn't help but chuckle and mock Yao Zhao.

"Ah Zhao, what era are we living in now? What ghosts and gods are you still thinking about?" Huang Shanming was the first to mock him. Seeing that Yao Zhao was scared out of his wits, Huang Shanming couldn't help but laugh. He used to think that Yao Zhao was quite brave, and he didn't expect him to be so cowardly. It was rare for him to find an opportunity to mock him; at that moment, Huang Shanming laughed to his heart's content.

Mao Di and Meng Ping also echoed, "That's right! That's right!" The two looked at Su Yu and saw that he didn't look good either. They thought that he had also been scared out of his wits by Yao Zhao's words, and were even more amused. They gloated and were speechless. "Ah Yu, Ah Zhao's words didn't scare you, did they?"

Su Yu wasn't in the mood to joke around with his friends. Meng Ping, who was sitting by the window, couldn't help but continue to mock and gloat. "What's there to be afraid of about ghosts? I'd like to see what a ghost looks like. Unfortunately, the heavens won't give me that chance!"

Chi Shuyan looked at Meng Ping, who had a death wish, and spat out coldly, "A word of advice: It's best not to say anything like that! Otherwise, that thing will really think you want to see it!"

Meng Ping, on the other hand, didn't take her seriously. Students at this age, especially boys, were especially concerned about dignity and ego. There were also a few girls in front who occasionally turned their heads to look at the back of the bus, which made Meng Ping even more conscious of his dignity. He casually prattled on about ghosts and gods. He didn't respect them in the slightest and despised feudal superstitions. He even made use of the free time to tell all sorts of ghost stories.

Meng Ping's ghost stories attracted the attention of the students in the front seats. Not long after, the people in the first two rows gathered to listen to Meng Ping's ghost stories.

After Meng Ping finished speaking, the others talked about supernatural incidents they had encountered when they were young. For a moment, the back of the bus was very lively.

Most of the supernatural things that the others talked about were ghost stories made up out of boredom. However, Ji Mingshu, Su Yu and Yu Bo had really encountered a ghost. When they heard the ghost stories, their faces turned very ugly. Ji Mingshu was a girl, and had really run into a ghost. She grabbed Chi Shuyan tightly and refused to let go. Her eyes were red and her face was filled with fear as she fidgeted. Fortunately, Chi Shuyan was sitting next to her, which made Ji Mingshu feel very safe, so she didn't cry.

Chi Shuyan patted the girl's shoulder and took a few more looks at her.

Ji Mingshu was really beautiful. No wonder she was the department beauty. Chi Shuyan looked at this pitiful girl and couldn't help but feel protective of her. Yu Bo was even more proactive and reached out to pull Ji Mingshu into his arms.

Because of her fear, Ji Mingshu didn't refuse Yu Bo's initiative. Chi Shuyan felt that if they passed this hurdle tonight, they might become a couple.

"Shuyan, I… I'm still scared!" Ji Mingshu wanted to cry at the thought of what happened in the river.

It was Su Yu who suddenly asked in a low voice, "I… still want to buy those talismans from before. Can I?"

As soon as Su Yu finished speaking, Ji Mingshu, Yu Bo, and Yao Zhao also thought of Chi Shuyan's talismans. Whether or not the previous talisman had really worked, Su Yu still wanted to buy a few more, just in case.

Because of Su Yu's words, Ji Mingshu and Yu Bo also remembered the talismans. They had the same thought as Su Yu, and felt that their lives were more important.

Although Yao Zhao was skeptical, he ultimately still decided to buy a few talismans like Ah Yu, just in case. After all, it had simply been magical to see this junior sister burn a talisman to heal Ji Mingshu's injury. In the end, he also said he wanted some talismans.

Chi Shuyan was quite easy to talk to. Seeing that they really wanted to buy talismans, she took out a lot of Exorcism Talismans and Exploding Talismans for them to have a look. There was no need to transfer the money now; they could talk about it when they got back to school.

Chi Shuyan handed the talismans over in a low-key manner, which didn't cause much of a stir. Yao Zhao and Su Yu had a good relationship with Meng Ping, Huang Shanming and Mao Di, and secretly gave them some talismans. The trio disdained the talismans and didn't want them at all. They even implied that Chi Shuyan might be a scammer, and asked how the rest had been duped again.

Ji Mingshu couldn't help but speak up for Chi Shuyan, and her tone wasn't good. "The three of you are the scammers! If you don't believe in them, then don't take them!" She also glared at Yao Zhao and Su Yu, and said that since the trio didn't want them, then don't give the talismans to them and waste their good intentions.

Chi Shuyan couldn't be bothered with the people next to her as her attention was all on the front row. When she heard Ji Mingshu speak up for her, she couldn't help but tilt her head and look at her with a smile in her eyes. This girl looked soft and weak, but her character was really outspoken and direct. Chi Shuyan liked her!

In particular, this young lady was quibbling with the guy she had a crush on. The more Chi Shuyan thought about it, the more she liked her. She felt that it was probably because of the trauma Yang Lan had given her before. She had thought that their friendship was very good and that they could be considered best friends. She had thought that their friendship was very solid, but she didn't expect it to crumble so easily because of a man Yang Lan had only met a few times. Chi Shuyan hadn't said it out loud, but she felt disgusted.

Chi Shuyan was about to speak, but her five senses were very sharp. At that moment, she heard Cai Xuanqiao's voice in the front row. "Tongle is awake!"

Chi Shuyan's face changed slightly. She didn't have time to talk to Ji Mingshu at that moment, and found an excuse to get up.

As soon as Ji Mingshu heard that Shuyan was getting up, she subconsciously leaned on Chi Shuyan, looking uneasy. Before Chi Shuyan left, she patted Ji Mingshu's shoulder and said that she would be back immediately. Only then did Ji Mingshu relax.

In the front row, Cai Xuanqiao, Chen Jin and Old Yu heaved sighs of relief when they saw Jiang Tongle suddenly wake up. They saw her staring blankly out the bus window before she started calling out for water.

Chen Jin was observant and sharp, and felt that something was wrong with Jiang Tongle. He also felt that Jiang Tongle's gaze was a little strange and frightening. However, Chen Jin had never encountered ghosts or gods before, and naturally didn't think much of it. He just thought that Jiang Tongle had probably been scared out of her wits when she fell into the water, and Chen Jin comforted her gently. Old Yu and Cai Xuanqiao also didn't think much of it. They, too, thought that she was agitated because of her fall into the water, so they hurriedly handed her water and comforted her, saying that she was fine.

Jiang Tongle didn't say anything else and kept exclaiming that she was thirsty. Old Yu had already given her more than a dozen bottles of mineral water, but the other party was still saying that she was thirsty. Old Yu's eyes widened in shock. At that moment, he didn't know whether to continue giving her water or be afraid that her stomach would burst from all the water.

On the side, Cai Xuanqiao and Chen Jin were also shocked. Cai Xuanqiao hurriedly advised gently, "Tongle, you've already drunk more than a dozen bottles of mineral water. You can't drink too much!"

The three teachers had good intentions, but they didn't expect Jiang Tongle to suddenly push Old Yu away and snatch the water for herself. It wasn't until she finished the mineral water that she wiped her mouth and burped. Not long after that, she started saying that she needed to pee.

The way Jiang Tongle gulped down the water scared the three teachers; they were practically stupefied. Hearing that Jiang Tongle needed to pee, Teacher Cai was the most suitable to go with her. However, it was dark, and Cai Xuanqiao didn't dare take Jiang Tongle outside on her own.

Chen Jin and Old Yu had no choice but to follow. They could only get the driver to stop the bus first.

At that moment, there was a wretched scream from the backseat. "Ghost, help!"
