Put Away Your Divine Techniques Now!-Chapter 936 - 277: [Fierce Ghost]

In Yang Er Village, Li is a common surname. If you count carefully, most of the Li families in the village are somewhat related.

Even Li Guohua and the grandfather and grandsons next door share some kinship.

However, since Li Xin was young, the groom’s family had helped Li Xin’s grandmother. Remembering this kindness, Li Xin came back from the city to attend the village wedding and served as the bridesmaid during the feast.

That day, something happened.

·

Li Xin had been beautiful since she was young, with a face and figure among the best in the village, standing out in appearance.

On the day of the feast, as she was the bridesmaid, many people at the table asked her to drink.

Li Xin had a fiery personality and drank quite a lot that day, getting almost drunk.

After the feast ended, she was nowhere to be seen.

Others just assumed Li Xin went with the bride to the room to rest. It wasn’t until evening when Li Xin’s grandmother came looking for her, dragging her sick body, that they realized Li Xin wasn’t with the bride.

No one was too concerned then, thinking Li Xin rarely came back and probably went out with some classmates for fun.

Her grandmother waited all night without Li Xin returning home, and the next day she searched everywhere.

It was then that the villagers sensed something was off and reported it to the police.

It wasn’t until the afternoon of the third day that they found Li Xin’s body in the water of a grassy patch downstream.

It’s said that when they found her, her body was so decayed it was unrecognizable!

When they discovered the corpse, the police examined it; her clothes were mostly intact, and there were no external injuries on her body.

The police intended to conduct a further autopsy— but villagers didn’t understand, especially Li Xin’s grandmother, an uneducated and unworldly rural woman, already heartbroken at the news. When she heard the police wanted to perform an autopsy, even possibly cutting the body open, she fainted on the spot and vehemently refused.

She said she couldn’t let her granddaughter suffer again.

After more investigations, it was said someone claimed to have seen Li Xin heading towards the river after the feast...

The final conclusion was drawn that she drowned after drinking.

But there was an unresolved issue afterwards.

Days later, a young man came to Yang Er Village, claiming to be Li Xin’s boyfriend from out of town, who came after hearing the news.

The boyfriend, though heartbroken, strongly demanded a reinvestigation of the case.

However, by then it was too late; the body had been cremated and buried.

The man stayed in the village for two days, wept at Li Xin’s grave, left some money for the grandmother, and after leaving, never returned.

Midnight.

Li Guohua lay on the wooden bed in his room, tossing and turning in bed.

He had grown as thin as a stick, and when he lay on the bed without outer clothing, even his undershirt couldn’t wrap around his body, appearing wide and large.

His body twisted on the bed, his eyes tightly shut, brow furrowed, as if witnessing something utterly terrifying in his dreams.

Yet, strangely, he couldn’t wake up!

The dark room’s doors and windows were tightly shut.

A vague shadow gradually enveloped the head of Li Guohua’s bed, slowly gathering into a figure.

A long dress fluttered, hair swirling.

Slender and pale hands, with long thin fingers, reached towards the twisting Li Guohua on the bed.

Bit by bit, the fingertips seemed to be approaching Li Guohua’s neck!

Suddenly, Li Guohua abruptly opened his eyes, sitting upright from the bed!!

He sat up, staring blankly ahead, his eyes vacant.

Slowly, he got out of bed, not putting on shoes, just standing there as if in a daze.

In the darkness, Li Guohua’s body stiffened, turned in place, and walked directly to the cabinet in the room, pulled open a drawer, and after rummaging inside, took out a pair of large scissors.

He raised the scissors high in his right hand, the point facing himself.

At this moment, Li Guohua’s face revealed a blank yet grim smile.

Utterly bizarre!

·

The scissors slowly moved down, poking at Li Guohua’s chest, the tip even piercing his old undershirt, the sharp end pressed against the skin on his chest...

At this moment, Li Guohua suddenly shivered!

He bit his teeth, his scattered gaze suddenly coming to clarity!

The sting on his chest caused Li Guohua to exclaim softly, and he suddenly let go, throwing the scissors far away!

In that instant, the shadow in the room silently dissipated and vanished.

Li Guohua’s face twisted into a malevolent expression, shouting harshly at the empty room, "You!! It’s you again!! You still won’t leave me alone!! Why! Why do you want to harm me!!!"

The room gave no reply, only leaving Li Guohua’s heavy breathing.

"Then... Then..." Li Guohua’s face contorted, muttering fiercely, "Then no one will have peace!! I’ll dig up your grave now!!"

Li Guohua seemed to lose control, quickly threw on a piece of clothing, put on shoes, pulled open the door, and strode out, grabbing a shovel from a corner of the yard!

But just as he turned, his body suddenly stiffened.

In front of Li Guohua, in his own courtyard, stood a young man he’d never seen before.

·

Chen Yan looked at Li Guohua calmly, then glanced at the shovel in his hand.

Chen Yan sighed, "This shovel does save the trouble, well then, come with me."
