Chapter 52: Chapter 52: Don’t be afraid, I’m a good person!

“My goodness!”
Xu Yang was somewhat impressed by the courage of these people, who were actually playing with a Ouija board in the haunted building at midnight. Did they have no fear of inviting dirty things in?
He had heard about the Ouija board game long ago.
Even numerous films and TV dramas were born from it.
Especially in schools, the Ouija board game was very popular. The gameplay was simple – a pencil, a white sheet of paper with 1-10 ten numbers and Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, Qing, and Morden written on them, followed by Male, Female, Yes, and No on the sides.
The five people in the classroom had not noticed Xu Yang.
Nor did they notice the abnormalities on the ceiling above their heads.
“Zou Yingsong, let’s forget about it… Let’s play again next time, I’m a little scared!”
A skinny boy shrank his neck: “I always feel cold behind me. What if we really summon something dirty later?”
The two girls who were with him were also shy, and they eagerly chimed in.
Zou Yingsong wouldn’t have it.
He had always been brave.
It was hard enough to get an opportunity like this today, and in the company of the two girls, he secretly admired one of their goddesses. It was the perfect time to show off, so he laughed and said, “We’re all 21st-century college students of the new era, how can we believe in such superstitions?”
“The Ouija board game is really just a game… Experts have used physics to explain the Ouija board phenomenon. We must believe in science!”
Xu Yang, standing outside the window, shook his head.
The “Ouija board” game had a long and ancient history, and it could be traced back to the practice of “Chairman Chair (ji)” in witchcraft. It was a witchcraft of divination and summoning.’
This kind of thing couldn’t be played casually.
Dangerous dirty things were easy to attract.
Looking at the ghost shadows on the ceiling, Xu Yang intended to stop them, but on second thought, he stopped himself.
“Did they just mention that the student who committed suicide in the piano room three years ago had problems because of playing the Ouija board?”
Xu Yang activated his magic power and carefully inspected the corridor outside.
There was a faint hint of Yin energy floating in the corridor, but that was all.
From inside the classroom, a voice came—
“Ouija, Ouija!”
“You are my past life, 1 am your present life…”
Xu Yang quickly peered through the window and saw the man called Zou Yingsong and a girl holding a pen together, chanting in their mouths, and then…the pen in their hands started to move!
“It’s moving!”
“It’s moving!”
The skinny boy was already nervous, and after seeing this scene, he yelled, “It’s really moving, it’s really moving!”
“Writing, writing…”
“Dead?”
“Is it the word ‘death’?”
With a sudden stop to the shouting, the classroom became silent.
Even the unbelieving Zou Yingsong had an astonished face. He gritted his teeth and said, “It must be a coincidence… Come on, let’s invite the Ouija board again!”
“Ouija, Ouija…”
Soon.
Another death note!
As the word “death” was written, the air throughout the building seemed to carry a murderous aura.
In the hallway outside the classroom, Xu Yang clearly felt the originally faint Yin energy floating in the corridor suddenly became several times denser.
The ghost shadow on the ceiling suddenly changed, emanating a terrifying evil energy. Blood spots seeped from its body, and the blood spread like bloody water, quickly transforming the gray ghost shadow into a bloody monster.
Inside the classroom, the Yin wind blew fiercely!
Zou Yingsong, who was in a state of astonishment, suddenly felt a chill on the tip of his nose, as if something had dripped on it.
He wiped it with his finger, feeling the wet, sticky substance. Looking at it under the light of the table lamp, he saw a bright red stain on his fingers.
Unconsciously, he looked up and saw a monstrous creature hanging from the ceiling like a gecko, neither human nor beast.
The monster, upon seeing the gazes of Zou Yingsong and the others, suddenly opened its bloody mouth wide and leaped toward Zou Yingsong.
“No good!”
“A Red Robe!”
Xu Yang was shocked, quickly grabbing the Suppress Evil and Break Malevolent Energies Talisman in his hand, ready to activate the Daoist talisman to save Zou Yingsong. But at that moment…
A sudden sound of a zither came from the fourth floor.
As the zither sounded, the monster seemed to have been struck by a heavy blow, and its body, which was about to pounce on Zou Yingsong, was sent flying directly sideways, crashing into the classroom wall.
The monster let out a miserable, piercing scream. It tried to attack the other students but was stopped by the sound of the zither.
Eventually, it let out a few roars at the air before it transformed into a wisp of gray Yin energy, disappearing inside the classroom.
The zither’s sound also gradually faded away.
Xu Yang stared wide-eyed…
What is this thing?
A Red Robe level of vengeful ghost?
It doesn’t seem like it!
But its strength is obviously stronger than the Water Ghost and Fire Ghost they encountered before, and it’s almost at the same level as Yang Yin.
At the beginning, it showed traces of blood, and its aura indeed reached the level of a “Red Robe vengeful ghost.” However, it didn’t seem to be its own power but instead borrowed some other force!
“It wanted to hurt those five students, but the zither’s sound stopped it… There must be another ghost in the school’s music room, maybe it’s the girl who committed suicide years ago, and she’s protecting these students?”
At this moment,
the five students in the classroom finally reacted!
“Ahhhh!!!”
“It’s a ghost!!!”
They ran away, especially Zou Yingsong, who took only a few steps to reach the door to escape the classroom.
However…
Xu Yang stood in the doorway, blocking their path.
He held a peach wood sword in his left hand and an iron hammer in his right, saying, “Don’t be afraid, classmates.”
“Ahhhh!!!”
The two girls saw Xu Yang’s sword and hammer and screamed even louder.
It was late at night.
When they ran, they didn’t even grab a desk lamp.
Under the dim light, they couldn’t see that the sword in Xu Yang’s hand was made of “wood” and only saw a sword.
“Who are you?”
“Are you a human or a ghost?”
Zou Yingsong’s voice trembled, “Get out of the way! Or else I’ll call the police!”
It’s only natural for people to be afraid and cautious in such situations, and Xu Yang understood that. He blocked the path of the students and said, “Don’t be afraid, I’m not a bad person. 1 came here at the invitation of Elder Wang, the captain of your school’s security team, to catch ghosts.”
“But… why do you have a sword and a hammer?”
The short and skinny boy stammered as he asked.
Xu Yang hid the hammer behind his back and said, “Don’t worry about the hammer. Look at this sword; it’s a peach wood sword. Do you know what that is? It’s used to deal with demons and ghosts. If I were to use this to cut you, it wouldn’t even break your skin.”
To prove his point,
Xu Yang raised his hand and slashed the sword at a desk next to the classroom door.
Swish!
The sturdy table was cut off at the corner.
“Ah, well…”
Xu Yang opened his mouth and laughed, “You may not know this, but my sword is not an ordinary peach wood sword. It’s made from thousand-year-old lightning-struck peach wood and has been nurtured by the powers of a Daoist master. It’s just slightly sharper than usual, which is understandable!”
Zou Yingsong almost cried, “Big brother, we believe you. Since you’re here to catch ghosts, we’ll only hold you back if we stay here. Can you please let us leave?”
“No!”
Xu Yang refused, “I need your help.. We will play the Pen Fairy game again to lure that thing out!”
