Rebirth: Ghost Exorciser

Chapter 1414: Something Wrong With Qi Zhenbai (1)

Chi Shuyan didn’t think much of it when she heard Qi Zhenbai say that there was a car outside and that people were waiting. In the car, she saw a familiar and beautiful little boy, and the gloomy Aunt Miao of the Xu family, who was difficult to talk to.

This time, Aunt Miao, who usually wasn’t easy to talk to, was no longer as eccentric as before. Not only did she look amiable, her attitude was also very good as she had the two of them get into the car.

Chi Shuyan was very surprised and glanced at the man next to her.

The man didn’t reply. His expression was cold and a little tired. He pursed his lips and looked especially awe-inspiring and serious. Chi Shuyan could only suppress the questions in her heart.

Qi Zhenbai sat in the driver’s seat. Chi Shuyan was worried when she smelled the blood on the man. She switched with him and had him sit in the passenger seat while she drove.

She thought that given the man’s usual overbearing attitude, he would refuse. She didn’t expect him to nod and change seats without hesitation.

After changing seats, Chi Shuyan sat in the passenger seat and took a few more looks at the man next to her. She saw him lean against the window and fall asleep. Chi Shuyan didn’t think much of it, and just thought that he was too tired.

In the backseat, Aunt Miao suddenly coughed a few times and said, “There are still two hours. It’s best if we leave the village in the next two hours. I know the way.”

Chi Shuyan observed Aunt Miao and the little guy in the rearview mirror. The little guy’s expression was still muddled and dull, as if his soul had gone wandering. Aunt Miao gently stroked the little guy’s head. She was much less gloomy and hostile, which surprised Chi Shuyan.

She was really curious about what had just happened at the temple. Was the village chief, ‘Pan Dalei,’ dead or not? Also, when did the man next to her get to know Aunt Miao?

Why had this man appeared at the temple just now?

It was too unexpected!

Chi Shuyan also knew that this wasn’t the time to ask questions. There would be an earthquake in the village soon. If they didn’t leave now, they probably wouldn’t be able to anymore after this. She immediately started the engine, but looked at Aunt Miao in the rearview mirror from time to time.

Aunt Miao seemed to sense it and suddenly said, “Do you want to know about the village and the Xu family that much?”

Chi Shuyan pretty much knew most of the ins and outs of the Xu family. What she was most curious about was why ‘Pan Dalei’ and Aunt Miao were the only living people in this village when everyone else was dead. How on earth did this Aunt Miao and ‘Pan Dalei’ survive? And what was the true identity of this ‘Pan Dalei’ of Dashan Village?

After thinking for a while, Chi Shuyan’s gaze fell on the exhausted man who smelled of blood next to her. She frowned and said, “There’s no hurry. We’ll talk about it after we leave this village! If we don’t leave now, I’m afraid we won’t be able to leave later!”

Aunt Miao was about to praise her for her patience, but her face suddenly changed when she heard Chi Shuyan’s last sentence. She coughed and asked, “What do you know?”

Chi Shuyan saw Aunt Miao in the backseat staring at her sharply, as if she really wanted to know what she knew. She didn’t want to hide anything. After all, she had learned some of the hidden truths of Dashan Village from the nine drawings in the temple. After thinking about it carefully, she reckoned that these nine pictures had something to do with Aunt Miao, and were most likely drawn by her

So, she didn’t hide it at all and recounted how she had infiltrated the temple on her own and found the nine drawings. As she spoke, her eyes fell on Aunt Miao’s old face in the rearview mirror from time to time. She saw that her expression was stiff at first, but soon filled with a mix of all sorts of complicated emotions. Among them, there was a hint of relief.

Soon, she sighed and tilted her head to look out the car window and into the distance with some confusion and pain. Not long after, she said, “I was indeed the one who drew those nine pictures. You were able to figure it out… cough, cough… All of you aren’t destined to die, which means that your luck is good. Dashan Village is no longer as simple and bustling as it once was; it is a village which eats people. I’ve seen many people over the last few decades. After coming to this village and accepting that thing, they never left.”

Who knew if it was because she was thinking of the simple and honest village back then, but as Aunt Miao spoke, her eyes were filled with nostalgia. Soon, this nostalgia turned into a trace of disgust and fear.

Chi Shuyan wasn’t in a hurry for Aunt Miao to expose her scars. She just suddenly thought of the first drawing. It was of a person taking another to Dashan Village. One figure was dressed simply, and should be from Dashan Village. Not only was the other person dressed quite brightly, Chi Shuyan vividly remembered that a crown had been drawn on this person’s head, which meant that this person should have some status and background. At the same time, he wasn’t from the village.

This person was probably the cause of all the tragedy in Dashan Village.

And this person was probably the real person behind th True Buddha Lord.

At that moment, Aunt Miao coughed a few more times and spoke again. “It’s over, it’s all over! You must always guard against people; there’s no free lunch in the world. There aren’t that many good people in the world, let alone those who come knocking on your door. I believe this deeply. You young people… cough… must remember this: No matter how good-looking or sincere a person appears, you must be vigilant. Don’t be too greedy!”

These words were bleak. Chi Shuyan looked in the rearview mirror and saw Aunt Miao wearing a sad and pained expression in the backseat. She was most likely thinking about what happened in Dashan Village back then.

Chi Shuyan was about to comfort her, when there was suddenly movement beside her. She tilted her head and saw that the man’s fingers were white and tense, as if the joints would break in the next second. Not only that, the veins on the back of his hands bulged one by one, and the aura around him suddenly changed.

Chi Shuyan actually felt a strong baleful aura and cadaveric qi from the man next to her. She was alarmed. Qi Zhenbai suddenly tilted his head and looked at her calmly. His eyes were still gentle, but his face gave her a sinister feeling in the dark.

Chi Shuyan blinked and looked again. Not only was the man’s face calm, his fingers were fair and perfect, and there were no bulging veins on the back of his hands. His thin lips curved up slightly. “What are you looking at?”
