Rebirth: Ghost Exorciser

1829 Old Liang Family Residence, You’re Next

After Qi Hao fell asleep again, Chi Shuyan didn’t dare let her guard down at all. She stared at him for a while. After confirming that he was fine, she sat on the side and meditated.

Qi Hao’s mind was a bit blank and he was dazed. In his dream, he was standing in front of a familiar mirror, and the door closed with a bang.

He jerked back to his senses and looked around; it seemed like he had returned to the bathroom.

It was strangely quiet.

He saw what looked like tens of thousands of compound eyes staring greedily at him again. He clearly saw the face of the person in the mirror change from calm to alarm to incomparable panic and fear.

He wanted to escape and call for his sister-in-law, but his legs felt like they were filled with lead as he just stood there.

Qi Hao was utterly panicked.

He heard buzzing and rustling again. The sound got closer and louder. Qi Hao couldn’t help but stagger away from the mirror at the sink.

Soon, the rustling turned into a human voice.

The voice was very strange: On the surface, it sounded like a child who had just learned how to speak. The voice was unfamiliar and a bit muffled, but when one listened carefully, it didn’t sound human at all.

“Qi… Hao! Qi… Hao! Look… in the mirror!”

Qi Hao was so scared by this voice that his legs shook non-stop. His instincts told him that he couldn’t listen to this voice.

He couldn’t look in the mirror. No, he absolutely couldn’t!

Qi Hao gripped his fingers tightly as the person called his name louder and louder. Listening carefully, the voice went from patient to exasperated as the person tried to force or coax Qi Hao to look in the mirror.

“Look in the mirror, Haozi, it’s Sister-in-law! Haozi, why aren’t you listening?” A very familiar female voice suddenly rang out.

Hearing his sister-in-law’s familiar voice, Qi Hao instinctively looked up, and then clearly saw the image of a familiar man suddenly flash in the mirror.

Qi Hao recognized the person. Who else could it be but Director Huang?

Why was Director Huang in the mirror?

He had just heaved a sigh of relief, when in the next second, under his horrified gaze, Director Huang, who had been smiling and joking, suddenly tore off a large chunk of bloody, mangled human skin from his waist up to the top of his head. What was even more ghastly was that countless squirming corpse bugs were burrowing in and out of the flesh and gnawing on it non-stop under the skin.

Director Huang’s features were blurry, but at that moment, he was giving a hideous, pained grin. It felt like Qi Hao could hear Director Huang’s miserable howls through the mirror, which chilled him to the bone. He swallowed his saliva and shuddered violently.

Soon, countless compound eyes suddenly stared fixedly and greedily at Qi Hao, as if the black mass of bugs would fly out of the mirror and pounce on him in the next second.

Qi Hao clearly heard Director Huang say, “You’re next!”

Qi Hao couldn’t take it anymore. Seeing that the black mass of corpse bugs was about to crawl out of the mirror and pounce on him again, he couldn’t calm down anymore.

He collapsed and cried bitterly as he ran to his sister-in-law for help.

Seeing that the door was shut tight, Qi Hao pounded on it in despair and collapsed on the floor.

The rustling in his ears grew louder. Qi Hao couldn’t help but turn around, and sure enough, he saw that the corpse bugs had already come out of the mirror and were headed for him. Director Huang, who had turned into a monster covered in bugs, also crawled out of the mirror, and he reached out to try and pull Qi Hao into the mirror.

Qi Hao was scared out of his wits. He collapsed and screamed in despair as he pressed his head against the door and didn’t dare look anymore.

What he didn’t notice was that as soon as the corpse bugs and the ‘monster’ touched him, there was the instant sound of sizzling and screams.

“No, I don’t want to become a monster. I don’t want to die! Ah! Sister-in-law, help!”

Just as Qi Hao thought he was going to die, a slap to his face woke him up.

When he woke up, Qi Hao saw that there was no monster or bugs around; there was only his sister-in-law, who was looking at him in concern.

It seemed he had been dreaming, but for a moment, what just happened felt too terrifying and too real for Qi Hao to think that it was just a dream.

He had really seen Director Huang turn into a monster with his own eyes. Director Huang’s skin and flesh were covered in bugs, and he even said that Qi Hao was next. It was too scary!

It was too scary.

Qi Hao’s forehead was covered in cold sweat and his clothes were wet, as if he had just been fished out of water. His face was also green with fright, like the color of a dead person.

Qi Hao couldn’t care less about all of this. He told his sister-in-law incoherently and fearfully about the terrifying dream he just had.

Listening to Qi Hao’s incoherent words, Chi Shuyan’s eyes flashed with lingering fear and utter coldness. Fortunately, she hadn’t lowered her guard.

Otherwise, Haozi could have really died in his dream.

Chi Shuyan didn’t say anything. Instead, she reached out and touched the jade pendant around Qi Hao’s neck, only for it to fall off, completely black.

It had to be pointed out that she had already upgraded this jade pendant, which was a level 3 magic weapon.

She didn’t expect the things here to be more difficult to deal with than she had imagined.

Afraid of agitating this kid in front of her again, Chi Shuyan could only comfort him and say that everything had just been a dream and that nothing happened.

It just so happened that it was gradually starting to get brighter outside, and there was already a trace of light. Chi Shuyan heaved a sigh of relief. If she wasn’t wrong, Haozi had most likely survived this calamity.
