The Haunted

Tang Guangyuan's hand was still struggling unconsciously, but his strength was getting weaker and weaker, and it seemed that he was exhaling more and taking in less.

He noticed Chi Yan who came in, and tried his best to reach out to him, with a "ho ho" sound in his throat, a trace of sadness appeared on his face.

Chi Yan hurried forward two steps, but found that there was nothing he could do - there was nothing in Tang Guangyuan's throat, he seemed to be strangled to death by air.

He could feel the cold breath around him, and he knew that there was a "person" following him, and his body trembled involuntarily.He had already guessed who it would be.

It was Ye Yingzhi, he still found it.

Chi Yan seemed to be able to hear his chuckle and feel his cold breath.

Tang Guangyuan's hand gradually dropped powerlessly, and the breath coming in and out became weaker and weaker, only his eyes were still looking in Chi Yan's direction.

Chi Yan couldn't bear to watch it any longer, the feeling of witnessing a person lose their life because of him but he was powerless and could only watch helplessly drove him almost to the brink of collapse.He supported himself strongly, turned to the invisible "person" by his feeling, and even stretched out his hand to try to hold his hand, just like when Ye Yingzhi was angry at home before when he deliberately showed his favor.

He thought that he would only touch a cloud of air and could not grasp anything, but instead he touched a body that felt cold to the touch.

He let him not see him, but let him touch him.

Chi Yan's body tensed up all of a sudden.

He remembered the sigh-like words from the other party just now——

"Why don't you go home, I've been waiting for you all night..."

Mr. Tang's vitality is still passing away rapidly, only a trace of breath still supports him, making him look like a dying person.

Chi Yan turned his eyes away and didn't dare to look any more, but slowly approached the "person" beside him, groped and hugged Ye Yingzhi's waist like he used to coquettishly admit his mistake, leaned his body close, and pressed against him tightly. near each other.

The posture is intimate, but tears have already covered the face without knowing it-the shock, fear, fear, and worry are completely human instincts when facing extreme situations.

He hugged Ye Yingzhi tightly, and begged choked with sobs: "Yingzhi, let him go, please let him go...All the mistakes are made by me, don't hurt others anymore. We Let's go home, shall we go home? Welcome, please..."

He was already incoherent, and his brain was completely unable to react to what he said and did. He just kept begging, clinging to the other party and trying to kiss the other party's cold neck and cheeks with his lips that were still wet with tears. In the end, they couldn't even make a complete sentence, only murmured the other person's name in a low voice, repeatedly choked up and said "welcome", "please" and "go home".

I don't know how long it has passed, and the perception of time has been blurred under the extremely tense nerves.He felt that the "person" around him finally moved, and the invisible rope that strangled Tang Guangyuan's neck seemed to be suddenly let go.

Tang Guangyuan sat slumped on the ground, coughing and panting like a broken bellows.

Immediately Chi Yan felt a hand wrap around his waist, and the man slightly bent down and kissed his earlobe with his head tilted, his voice was low and low, "I mean what I say, I'll be waiting for you at home."

Then the hand was released, and everything suddenly returned to calm.Chi Yan looked around in a daze, only his ears and waist could vaguely feel the coolness.

Ye Yingzhi disappeared just like he appeared suddenly and without a sound and almost took a person's life.

Chi Yan hurried to Mr. Tang's side to help him sit up, and helped him to catch his breath by beating his back.It took a long time for Tang Guangyuan to recover. He supported Chi Yan's arm and stood up slowly. He tried, but still couldn't speak, so he could only use gestures to signal him to help him back to the bedroom.

There is a landline on the bedside of Tang Guangyuan's bedroom, and a phone book next to it.He himself turned to the page where Sister Gui's phone number was written, motioned for Chi Yan to call her over, then waved his hand to Chi Yan with a sad and remorseful expression, and said hoarsely, "You... let's go."

Chi Yan nodded.

The old man continued to force his voice out of his throat and said, "I'm sorry... sorry, I can't help you for the time being..."

Chi Yan hurriedly stopped him: "Stop talking. I'm the one who's sorry for you, and caused you to suffer this catastrophe."

Tang Guangyuan waved his hand, but said nothing.

Chi Yan waited until Sister Gui came to bid farewell to Tang Guangyuan.He looked very calm at this time, as if he was not the one who came to ask for help in a panic before.

He said: "Thank you for helping me this time. I have already thought it over clearly. I was the one who took Ye Yingzhi's ashes without asking. I was a thief if I took Ye Yingzhi's ashes without asking. What's more, what I stole was the ashes that symbolized his body. It was I who owed him first, and when I go back this time, no matter what he asks me to pay back, I will pay back everything that should be paid back. The law of reincarnation is like this, so I don’t need to bother you.”

He forced a slight smile, and bowed to Tang Guangyuan again to express his apology.

The worst thing is to pay your own debts.He thought, lowering his eyes.

Panting for breath, Tang Guangyuan watched Chi Yan thank him again and again and leave without saying a word.

It was almost eleven o'clock when Chi Yan came out of the villa, this place is relatively remote, only private cars drive back occasionally, and there are no rental cars.He didn't bring his mobile phone either, so he walked a few steps quickly to catch the last bus.

When he was about to reach the bus stop, he saw a bus parked there from a distance, and the cars here could all go back to his home, so Chi Yan didn't take a closer look, so he quickly trotted two steps and got on the bus.

The driver kept his eyes on the front and did not respond to him getting into the car. The car was very empty, except for him, there were only three or four passengers sitting scattered in different places.Chi Yan glanced around and walked towards the seat at the rear of the car.

The waiting time for the last bus was a bit longer, and the car started staggeringly after he sat down for 2 minutes.Chi Yan sat blankly on his seat, staring at the dark street scene outside the window, lost in thought.He didn't know what was waiting for him after returning home, he only knew that he couldn't run away or hide.

Ye Yingzhi had already made him see very clearly through today's incident that Mr. Tang had no power to resist him, and even almost took his life.The monks and priests he had met since he was a child could barely protect him from those ordinary ghosts, let alone deal with Ye Yingzhi who could deter all evil?

He has been in a trance with a lot of thoughts, and he doesn't have a watch, mobile phone or other tools to tell the time. He only knows that the car has been driving and the window is always dark. It seems that he hasn't left the neighborhood yet, but he doesn't know how long it has passed.After suddenly waking up, I realized something was wrong—this is a bus, why didn’t it reach the next stop after so long?Nobody wants to get in or get off all the time?

After realizing this, he became vigilant, temporarily suppressed his fear of Ye Yingzhi at home, and secretly paid attention to the inside of the car.

He counted silently in his heart, and counted three hundred at a leisurely pace. The car was still moving forward at a constant speed, without turning, changing lanes, or bumping, as if they were the only car driving on this road.Even the scenery outside the window has not changed, it is still dark and misty, and there is a pale and indifferent light from nowhere in the distance - Chi Yan had always thought that it was the light from the direction of the city.

Chi Yan clenched his fists and paid attention to the passengers in the front row.When he got into the car, he was preoccupied and anxious, and didn't pay attention to these people. The state of ignoring all kinds of abnormalities in a trance was similar to when he was fascinated by Ye Yingzhi before, and only now did he suddenly realize that something was wrong.

There were four other passengers in front of him, plus the driver, a total of five people, all wearing dark long-sleeved clothes, sitting upright in silence, not moving, unlike most people on the bus who looked down at their phones.

The incandescent lights on the roof were pale and pale, and under the light, they all had no shadows.
