Ghost Exorciser: The Oust Fake Heiress Strikes-Chapter 375: Stories

Unexplainable noises in the middle of the night.

Typical ghost story elements.

Lana watched calmly.

However, during one particular scene, something suddenly caught her attention.

Her body stiffened slightly.

On the screen, during a close-up shot of the actress standing inside the kitchen...

Lana saw a face. An ugly. Twisted.

A hideous ghost face staring directly toward the screen.

At first, Lana assumed it was simply part of the movie.

A prop. A special effect.

But then the camera angle changed slightly.

And Lana clearly saw the ghost crouching beneath the kitchen slab.

The creature’s long limbs were twisted unnaturally, and its hollow eyes stared forward with a disturbing stillness.

Lana slowly leaned toward Naina. "That is the ghost haunting the house for sure."

Naina frowned. "What?"

Lana kept her eyes fixed on the screen. "The ghost under the kitchen slab..."

Naina looked carefully. Then she looked again. And again.

After several seconds, she turned back toward Lana with a confused expression.

"What ghost? I don’t see anything."

Lana was just about to point at the screen when the scene suddenly changed.

The image shifted. The kitchen disappeared. The actress walked into another room.

Lana slowly lowered her hand.

Five minutes later... The ghost appeared again.

This time it stood a short distance behind the actress.

Its body leaned forward slightly, as if watching her silently.

Lana immediately pointed at the screen.

"There! That ghost!"

Naina’s heart jumped slightly.

She looked quickly at the screen.

But all she saw was the actress standing alone in the room.

No ghost. Nothing unusual.

She turned toward Lana with a slight frown. "Lana..."

She forced a small smile. "Maybe you’re just imagining things."

Hearing that, Lana’s expression slowly turned grim.

’Imagining things...?’

That was almost impossible.

She possessed the Third Eye.

Which meant she could see ghosts that ordinary people could not perceive.

’So... that ghost is invisible to everyone else...’

Lana could only stay silent and continue watching the movie.

As the story progressed into the second half, the plot suddenly became much darker.

The seemingly ordinary story began twisting into something far more disturbing.

It turned out...

The apartment had never been haunted at all.

The ghost had been following the girl all along. Ever since childhood.

Even more horrifying... The ghost was not a spirit that had escaped from a ghost portal.

It was something the girl herself had manifested during her childhood.

When she was young and desperate, she had made a promise.

She offered her life to the ghost once she turned eighteen.

In exchange, the ghost would help her overcome every problem in her life.

And for many years... Her life had indeed been smooth.

Until her eighteenth birthday. Then the strange events began.

The ghostly disturbances.

The feeling that something was constantly watching her.

The terrifying realization that someone, or something, was trying to take her life. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Then the movie revealed its darkest twist.

The ghost that had been lingering around the girl the entire time...

Was none other than her own mother.

The truth revealed in the movie was unsettling.

The ghost had not been trying to harm the girl out of hatred.

She had simply refused to leave.

The spirit was the girl’s mother.

After dying, she had been unable to bear the thought of abandoning her daughter.

So she had lingered beside her child all those years, silently watching over her. Yet that love had twisted over time.

She believed that after eighteen years of companionship, her daughter would finally come to the other side and remain with her forever.

The final climax arrived when the girl, trembling but determined, stood inside a dimly lit temple beside a priest. Sacred chants echoed through the room as incense smoke curled slowly through the air.

The priest raised his talisman. The mother’s spirit screamed in fury and sorrow.

The girl cried while begging her mother to leave, her voice breaking as tears streamed down her face.

Finally, with the priest’s help, the ghost was exorcised.

The girl collapsed to the ground, exhausted, and let out a deep sigh of relief.

The audience in the theater relaxed as well, believing the nightmare had ended.

But the story was not over.

In the post-credit scene, the camera slowly returned to the girl’s empty apartment.

The lights flickered faintly.

A cold breeze drifted through the corridor. And then...

More shadows appeared. Not one. Not two. But many.

Several ghostly figures stood quietly behind the girl, watching her silently from the darkness.

A whisper echoed through the room.

One voice murmured softly, "Twenty-two."

Another voice followed, "Twenty-five."

Then another. "Twenty-eight."

"Thirty."

Each age represented another promise the girl had unknowingly made during different desperate moments in her life.

The movie ended there.

It was a fairly common horror concept, but the storytelling was engaging enough to keep the audience interested.

When the movie finished, the lights inside the cinema slowly brightened.

People began leaving their seats while discussing the plot.

Naina stretched slightly and looked at Lana.

"That was actually pretty good."

Lana nodded calmly. "It wasn’t bad."

The two of them walked slowly toward the exit while discussing the story.

However, Lana had watched the entire movie from a completely different perspective.

She knew one thing very clearly.

Throughout the entire film, the ghost she had seen earlier had never disappeared.

It had lingered beside the actress the whole time. In fact...

Near the end of the movie, Lana clearly saw the ghost suddenly leap onto the actress’s back.

The spirit wrapped itself around her shoulders like a shadow clinging tightly to her body.

Lana frowned slightly. ’If I’m not mistaken... That actress must already feel something strange.’

Most likely, she would soon begin feeling a heavy pressure on her shoulders, as if something invisible was weighing her down.

Meanwhile, Naina was completely absorbed in the movie discussion.

"It was really good," she said excitedly. "I’d watch it again."

Lana nodded along absentmindedly.

However, another thought quietly appeared in her mind.

’Honestly... I could probably write a better story.’

After all, she had come from the future.
