Rebirth: Ghost Exorciser

1813 Old Liang Family Residence, the Game Begins (1)

“It’s fine; it’s about time. Haozi, change your clothes and get ready to go out,” Chi Shuyan said.

Qi Hao hurriedly went back to his room to change. Recalling the earlier screams, however, he couldn’t help but ask his sister-in-law again, “Sister-in-law, is it really okay? Why did I hear screams just now?”

Chi Shuyan glanced outside indifferently and said, “Nothing will happen now. We’ll talk downstairs.”

“Oh, okay, okay!” Qi Hao hurriedly put on his clothes and went out of the living room to see Director Huang talking to his sister-in-law, who nodded in agreement.

Director Huang didn’t stay long. He said a few words and left.

Chi Shuyan turned around and saw Haozi’s anxious face. He had buttoned his jacket wrongly. She calmly reminded him, “Your jacket’s buttoned wrongly. Haozi, there’s no hurry. Take your time.”

Chi Shuyan closed the door as she spoke and sat on the couch as she waited for Qi Hao to wash up. Qi Hao was originally very anxious and was afraid that he would be too slow. However, seeing that his sister-in-law was so calm and didn’t look anxious at all, he calmed down a little. He looked down and saw that he had really buttoned his jacket wrongly. He hurriedly redid his buttons and asked his sister-in-law in confusion, “Sister-in-law, why did Director Huang suddenly look for you? Nothing happened, right? Where are we going now? Are the others filming the variety show tonight?”

Qi Hao asked the last question in disbelief. After all, given what happened to He Liuqing and Zhou Cheng in the morning, he didn’t think that anyone would be in the mood to continue filming, right?

After buttoning his jacket, Qi Hao went to wash up. When he came out, he heard his sister-in-law exhort him, “Play the game seriously tonight and don’t think about anything else!”

Qi Hao was stupefied and didn’t understand what his sister-in-law meant at all. Were they going to participate in the filming? Wait, were they really going to continue filming the variety show tonight?

Reality proved that this was indeed the case.

When Qi Hao followed his sister-in-law to the front yard, everyone was already gathered there, including Director Huang. There were a total of seven people: Song Yanru, Lu Wenjing, Yun Yiyi, Du Zhong, Lu Ningwen, Fang Yu and Director Huang.

Unlike the harmonious and cheerful atmosphere from a few nights ago, everyone’s faces were worse than ever now. Under the light, it was obvious how pale their complexions were. Their eyes were filled with fear and trepidation, as well as 120% reluctance at filming the show. Their bodies were as stiff as statues as they sat in their seats.

Before the two entered, they heard Yun Yiyi’s voice suddenly break the silence in the room. “Director Huang, why are we the only ones playing the game? Why aren’t the other two here? If they don’t want to participate, I won’t either.”

Who knew if it was because of the strange and terrifying invitation which she had received, but Yun Yiyi couldn’t help but collapse again. Her face was filled with fear and reluctance, and she suddenly cried out, “I want to go home, I want to go home. I don’t want to film the variety show, let alone play some game. I want to leave this godforsaken place. If we don’t leave, we’ll definitely end up like Sister He. I want to leave, I must leave!”

The more Yun Yiyi spoke, the crazier her face became. There was no trace of rationality in her eyes, and her face became more and more twisted as she flailed around. She looked like she had come out of an asylum, and everyone else jumped in fright. It was also because she mentioned He Liuqing that the courtyard instantly fell silent.

As soon as Yun Yi finished speaking, she suddenly got up and ran out the door, ignoring Director Huang’s advice. When she ran out, she almost hit Qi Hao. It was only because Chi Shuyan reacted quickly and pulled Haozi away that Yun Yiyi didn’t run into him.

“Yun Yiyi, Sister Yun!” It was Lu Ningwen and Fang Yu who chased after her. Unfortunately, the other party ran too fast. By the time the two of them ran out of the courtyard, Yun Yiyi had already run off somewhere.

The two still wanted to chase after her. After all, several strange things had already happened – who knew what would happen to Yun Yiyi?

The two were going to split up and look for her, but Chi Shuyan quickly pressed down on their shoulders. “It’s almost time for the game. Are you sure you still want to look for her?”

Although Lu Ningwen and Fang Yu were in this circle, they were quite soft-hearted. Seeing Celestial Master Chi and Brother Qi, the two were happy and anxious. “Celestial Master Chi, Yun Yiyi ran away all of a sudden. We don’t know where she went. Will she be okay? By the way, Celestial Master Chi, did you… also receive the game invitation?”

Lu Ningwen took a deep breath and continued, “Yun Yiyi was so agitated when she saw that thing just now. It wasn’t easy for Director Huang to invite her downstairs, but who would have thought that she would run away again? If I go after her now, I might be able to catch her.”

“There’s no need to go. If she doesn’t want to come back, it’s useless even if you chase after her!” Chi Shuyan looked at her watch. “It’s almost time for the game. I advise you not to chase after her for your own good!”

Lu Ningwen and Fang Yu looked at each other. It was Qi Hao who hurriedly winked at them. “My sister-in-law is definitely right. Listen to her.”

“Is there really no need to chase after her? Nothing will happen to her… right?”

“Adults should be responsible for their own decisions!” Chi Shuyan said coldly.

The two of them seemed shocked by her cold-blooded words, but when they thought about how Yun Yiyi seemed to have always been at odds with Celestial Master Chi, and had been stupid enough to accuse her of all sorts of things, it would be strange if Celestial Master Chi liked her.

Chi Shuyan really wasn’t deliberately targeting Yun Yiyi at that moment. There was no need for her to do so at all. Seeing that it was only a minute or two away from midnight, her face grew more and more solemn. Seeing that the two of them were still stupefied, she couldn’t help but advise them, “It’s almost time to play the game. If you don’t want to die early, you better follow the instructions in the mission card. After the game ends, I won’t stop you if you still want to look for her!”

“Celestial Master Chi!”

“Celestial Master Chi! You’re here!”

Two familiar voices rang out in the courtyard. Who else could it be but Song Yanru and Du Zhong?
