Chapter 82 - Ghost Eyes (1/2)
“Don’t kill me! Don’t kill me!” Ma Yangyu trembled, hiding and burying his head under the quilt, curled up into a ball in a fetal position.
He was at the brink of collapse, and his face was very pale. It was so obvious that he had not slept peacefully for several days.
‘Drip, Drip.’
It was the sound of water dripping on the ground. It was very abrupt and terrifying in the quiet night. There was no toilet or even a sink in the room. The sudden sound of water scared Ma Yangyu, and he trembled even harder.
All the lights in the room were turned on and he had locked the door too. He even blocked the entrance with a cabinet taller than a human. Even the windows were covered with a layer of cloth, which had a statue of Zhong Kui painted on it, no one knew where he learnt of this folk exorcism method.
Garlic, some weird spells and an abacus were all hung down the doorway.
‘Jingle.’ The Teru Teru Bozu which was hung on the door was rustled by the wind.
Ma Yangyu was shivering even more intensely.
“Please, Lulu, let me go, I know I was wrong, I really realized my mistake! I kowtow to you!” Once Ma Yangyu finished talking, he shrank under the quilt and smashed his head on the mattress. There was a banging sound on the hard bed board of the school dormitory, and the bed board also shook very badly.
Ma Yangyu was shaking as if he was a sieve, which was shaking to strain flour through, and with his head covered, he was sweating profusely. The sweat dripped down his forehead and onto his lips, flowing continuously.
“Forgive me, I really know that I was wrong.” Ma Yangyu’s lips spasmed, his teeth were chattering, and his voice was trembling.
With a ‘pop’, the light bulb in the room suddenly flashed and dimmed.
Ma Yangyu was so frightened by the sound that his eyes were about to pop out, and his eyeballs moved slowly from side to side. He was like a statue, motionless, as if scared and stunned in place. He was even breathing slowly, so nervous that he held his breath.
In the darkness, you can only hear the crackling sound of the Teru Teru Bozu being blown by the wind, the sound of water droplets on the floor, and the pounding sound of Ma Yangyu’s own heartbeat.
These small sounds were infinitely amplified by the silent night.
However, a full minute passed, and the expected paranormal incident did not happen.
Two minutes followed…
As time passed, the wind stopped and the sound of water droplets disappeared. Only Ma Yangyu’s breathing and heartbeat remained, filling up the whole room.
Ma Yangyu’s body did not stop trembling because of this. Instead, his brain started to ache because he was in a highly tense situation, especially at the position of his temples. He could even feel blood being pumped through his veins.
And his knees were a little numb because he kept the same posture for such a long time.
He doesn’t know how long has passed, Ma Yangyu lifted up a corner of the quilt to scan the surrounding environment through the small gap testingly.
Nothing. There was nothing at all.
Ma Yangyu breathed a sigh of relief, squeezed his hands into a fist, with his fingers tightly clenched. He did not relax because of this.
His chest started to rise and fall more quickly, and he began to breathe normally, greedy for the fresh air around him, after all, he almost suffocated himself by holding his breath.
“Amitabha, Amitabha.” He covered back the little quilt that he lifted up , and his mouth kept repeating Amitabha, as if Nile Bodhisattva would jump out to protect him.
Although he also knew that this was nothing more than psychological comfort.
He shut his eyes tightly, buried his head under the pillow, continued to cover his head with the quilt, curled his whole body into a ball, his mouth was constantly repeating, constantly to comfort himself and psyching himself up, as if as long as he survives this long night, there will be no more female ghosts harassing him.
After a long time had passed, and Ma Yangyu fearfully opened his eyes again, as if thinking that there will be no more female ghosts to harass him tonight, he lifted his head from the pillow.
“Ahhhhh! !” A scream cut across the sky.
The pillow that Ma Yangyu was using to cover his face was not a pillow after all!
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a bloody face appear on the pillow. The owner of that face opened his mouth and grinned. It had bloody teeth with a sincere but creepy smile.
It was Chen Lulu!
“Ahhhhh!!”
He just laid on Chen Lulu’s face for half a night!
Ma Yangyu went completely crazy.

“Lu Yiming, we are not on the same side. You do what you want and I look for my own thing.” Lu Yi Ang has always been arrogant and dominating, and this time was no exception. It was originally an important task that his grandfather had assigned him, and he simply called a group of people to come, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Lu Yiming looked at a group of vibrantly coloured heads behind him. Men were either wearing leather clothes or leather pants or denim punk, dirty braids, and women were all in miniskirts with heavy makeup. Their looks really didn’t suggest that they were investigating ghosts, instead, they looked like they were having fun in a nightclub.
“Whatever you want.” Lu Yiming nodded indifferently. He didn’t even look at Lu Yi Ang. He didn’t want to be with Lu Yi Ang. It wasn’t that he had a grudge against Lu Yi Ang. On the contrary, it was Lu Yi Ang who had strong feelings against him. To the extent that he can’t wait to strangle him. If there was such a chance, he felt that Lu Yi Ang wouldn’t even hesitate to stab him.
However, he has always been too lazy to go along with what Lu Yi Ang said, so he doesn’t even bother with his instructions.
Lu Yi Ang didn’t have the ability to bring him down, much less the brains.
Lu Yiming and Lu Yi Ang contacted the principal of this haunted school with the help of the Ghost Relief Bureau. Although they didn’t explain the truth and were vague about it, they still managed to become fake substitute teachers so that it would be much more convenient to investigate.
“I’m going to class.” After Lu Yiming finished speaking, he walked away without looking back, leaving Lu Yi Ang standing with the group of coloured heads.
Lu Yi Ang chuckled, looking at Lu Yiming’s shrinking back, and, feeling very uncomfortable, snorted dismissively, “F*ck, he really thinks he is a teacher.”
Lu Yiming has always been a meticulous person. Even if he was just a fake substitute teacher, he prepared for lessons early. This has always been his style of work and he has never done things carelessly.
“Ma Yangyu. ” Lu Yiming was going through the information in his mind again, analysing the recent strange accident in school, softly reading his name out, still looking indifferent.
His primary purpose now was to investigate this person.
From the moment Lu Yiming’s feet stepped into the gate of the school, his eyes were fixed on the position of the roof of the teaching building, and he kept observing the surroundings.
Sure enough, the number of ghosts in this school was higher than that of others. There are a lot of terrible places, it can be said to be ten times, even a hundred times more horrible.
Especially the ghosts with more grievances, there were so many of them, even when compared to the hospitals. He didn’t even need to use any spells to open his own ghost eyes to feel the strong sense of resentment and grievances. It was very abnormal.
Lu Yiming observed the actions in front of him. Although the number was a bit appalling, their behaviour was still relatively normal.
Suddenly, as if Lu Yiming had discovered something, he paused slightly after taking a step towards the teaching building, and couldn’t help but look at the boy who had just walked into the school on his side, and he was stunned in place.
The boy wore a plain white shirt and jeans with his back straight, and his face was extremely white. His facial features were also very definite, just like a work of art carefully carved by God. The pair of phoenix shaped eyes looked like it had a lot of stories, complementing his already beautiful face. As long as he walks among the crowd, he will definitely be the focus of the crowd.
Of course, this was not the reason why Lu Yiming noticed him, because the Yin energy radiating from this boy was so heavy that it was hard to ignore. The degree of Yin energy would definitely be a good tonic for the grieving ghosts, enough to make all ghosts rushing to him to satisfy their appetites.
But all the grieving ghosts around him evaded subconsciously when he appeared. They also made a special way for him, as if they were afraid of getting too close to him, even their expression was a little scared.
