Becoming a Taoist Master by Walking on the Underworld

Chapter 13: Coming to find me?

Chapter 13: Coming to find me?
"The number of people is wrong!"

Chen Yushu immediately stopped, slowly turned his head and looked at the large bunk bed.

It was the golden autumn of October and the moonlight was still bright. The door was open and through the moonlight he could see what was happening on the big bunk bed.

He counted silently. There were seven figures in total from the head of the bunk bed to the bed.

seven people!
But he remembered it clearly.

Yesterday, there were only seven people in the entire dormitory, including him.

Now he is still standing on the edge of the bed, and with him, there are eight of them.

So, who is the extra one?
He knew very well that there were no new people joining the pharmacy today.

"The one at the edge is Qin Jie, tall and thin, usually a very silent person. Next is Xu Hao, who has lived here the longest, but has a somewhat eccentric personality. Because of his introductory skills, he looks down on newcomers like us, thinking that most of the newcomers cannot master the skills within three months, and then..."

Thoughts flashed through Chen Yushu's mind quickly, and his eyes suddenly focused.

The second one is not Xu Hao.

The third one is Xu Hao.

The second one was a 'figure' with an extremely pale face, who was curled up and lying on his side, leaning towards Xu Hao.

And it is worth mentioning that Xu Hao's movements were consistent with his, both of them curled their bodies inward, and from a distance, it looked like they were overlapping.

The two were very close.

At this moment, Xu Hao was sleeping soundly, but his sleep was not peaceful. His face was pale, and his closed eyeballs were moving around, causing his eyelids to flutter, as if he was in a nightmare.

And that figure, with his arms around Xu Hao and his head pressed tightly against his chest, from Chen Yushu's perspective, he could even vaguely see that figure's mouth opening and closing, as if he was speaking, or swallowing something.

Suddenly, the figure froze, and it was obvious that his mouth closed. Then he slowly turned his head and looked in the direction of Chen Yushu.

Chen Yushu was startled and looked away almost instinctively. He moved his feet up and down as if he was taking off his shoes. Then he leaned towards the edge of the bed, touched the edge with one hand, made a gesture as if to lie down on the bed, and finally really lay down.

That 'person' watched the whole process for a long while before lowering his head again and opening and closing his mouth again.

"Escaped?"

Chen Yushu breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, I felt really helpless.

I met a ghost again.

I didn't expect that in such a short period of time, I had encountered three of them in succession.

Thinking of what Uncle Zhong said before, that only people with sufficient spiritual power can see ghosts, he is now more and more certain that he should also be considered a person with sufficient spiritual power.

This situation didn't happen before, maybe it's because of his 'memory awakening'?

Through these encounters with ghosts, he has gained some experience.

That is, when he "looks" at the other person, the other person will definitely notice it. This kind of existence is like a keen gaze on people, and is often interested in people who can see themselves.

For example, before, the reason why Xiao Shicun Jiang San, who had just died, rushed towards him in the end was because he could "see" the other party.

Obviously, this is also the case at this time.

His gaze was immediately noticed by the 'ghost', which turned its gaze in his direction. If he did not look away in time and make a move to get on the bed, then it would be very likely that the 'ghost' would shift its target and set its sights on him.

"I just don't know how Xu Hao got in trouble with this guy? Was it today or before yesterday?"

Last night, he slept all night long, so he didn't notice it.

And now, he woke up in the middle of the night... Thinking about how he had just walked back and forth next to it, he felt a little scared.

The key point is now, he can't leave or stay.

If you walk, you will have to pass by it again. It just lay down and leaves again. Although the "ghost" may not be able to retain many memories of its predecessor, it is not completely ignorant. If it has a little "wisdom" and knows how to think, it will immediately realize that something is wrong.

If, because of this, I leave Xu Hao and transfer my focus to him, wouldn't that be bad?

He does not have the noble sentiment of devoting himself to others.

“I can’t leave. But who can sleep with this thing here?

It can’t be removed…”

Chen Yushu felt annoyed and couldn't help but shift his gaze over there again.

Perhaps because he was lying down, he could not see the ghost's figure, and of course the other party could not see his gaze, but he could still see that the "ghost" had been hugging Xu Hao, and the exposed half of his head was moving.

He could imagine that the other party was opening and closing his mouth, swallowing Xu Hao's blood, and looked "angry".

This scene is so creepy.

In the middle of the night, a ghost was hugging a person and continuously sucking his "life force".

Anyone who sees it will feel uneasy.

Time gradually passes.

In the meantime, some people got up to go to the bathroom.

At this time, Chen Yushu would pay special attention to the "ghost".

But that 'ghost' seemed to be only interested in Xu Hao. No matter how much noise other people made or how they walked past it, it ignored them and just held Xu Hao tightly without moving an inch.

Even Qin Jie, who was sleeping in the first bed next to Xu Hao, got up once but failed to wake it up.

It seemed to be only interested in Xu Hao and had no intention of causing trouble for anyone else.

Of course, no one else can see it, or can't see it at all.

"It seems that as long as I don't get discovered by it and can see what it does, I can be safe?"

Chen Yushu hesitated, thinking that this should be good news for him... right?

In the second half of the night, before the roosters crowed, Chen Yushu suddenly noticed that the figure slowly let go of the arms that were around Xu Hao and slowly stood up.

"Leaving?"

Chen Yushu was perked up, but didn't dare to look at him carelessly. He just observed him out of the corner of his eye.

He noticed that after the other person stood up, he looked at everyone in the big bunk bed and quickly closed his eyes. After two breaths, he slowly opened them again.

At this time, the other party also got out of bed.

But he did not leave the room, but walked along the bed.

Step by step,
Until he reached the bed where he was.

Chen Yushu's breathing suddenly trembled.

what's the situation?
Are you here to find me?
He was stunned.

Did it know that it was being watched?

My whole body stiffened.

I continued reading with gritted teeth.

But he saw that the other party had already bent down, and disappeared without a trace in a flash.

gone?

He couldn't help but prop himself up and look around.

There was no longer that 'ghost' around.
