Chapter 106 Li Chun, Urn

Ning Meng didn’t recover her senses until Shi Qi stopped moving.

After he had sprinkled powder on the bones on the ground, the bones burst into flames, emitting an unpleasant smell which filled the entire space, evoking the urge in people to vomit.

Ning Meng felt nauseated at the thought of seeing so many bugs inside a person’s head.

When Shi Qi returned to the living room, he had already taken off his gloves. Seeing that she looked very discomfited, he made a conjecture and didn’t approach her any further, “Go back and rest.”

However, the weasel ran into the yard, going in circles around the burning bones.

Occasionally, the crackling sound of fire, a burnt smell, and other strange sounds would ring out.

Ning Meng looked at Shi Qi, “Do you know what that thing was?”

Shi Qi’s eyes softened a bit, “Don’t worry about that so much, go back and rest. The sky’s already gotten dark, and I won’t be sleeping here tonight.”

After Shi Qi left, Li Chun soaked the ashes in salt water according to his instructions, and proceeded to obliterate them until there was finally no trace left.

The weasel howled at the side the whole time.

Midway through the stairs, Ning Meng turned around and walked down. When she walked into the yard, nothing could be found on the ground, and the black clothes had disappeared. She had yet to confirm if the clothes belonged to the person who attempted to kill her when she possessed Grandma Shi’s body.

Feeling troubled, Li Chun said, “Madam, Master Qi has told you not to go downstairs tonight.”

“Okay.” Ning Meng replied.

She didn’t want to go downstairs either, because it was so dangerous outside. She only came down to see the situation, and since she couldn’t find anything anyway, it was time for her to return.

Since Shi Qi said that he would not come back to sleep tonight, Ning Meng simply moved her stuff into his room.

The two rooms looked almost the same, the only exception was that there was something hidden on his side, which made her feel very strange upon entering.

In fact, her room also had this, but it was newly installed.

Shi Qi’s bed was big, so much so that when Ning Meng went to lay on it, a large empty space could still be found. She rolled around a few times before falling asleep.

When darkness rolled in, she was awakened by her thirst.

Realizing that Shi Qi truly hadn’t come back, Ning Meng realized that she had really fallen asleep so swiftly. Although the structure of the room was quite simple, she noticed that it was completely different from her room when she fell asleep as she felt very peaceful.

“I’m a little thirsty.” She muttered, getting out of bed.

There was no water in her cup, so Ning Meng could only go out of the room. As soon as she opened the door, the view of the dim hallway entered her eyes, immediately washing her drowsiness away.

She lived in this cottage for a long time, almost reaching a year as Grandma Shi, and she had also walked this corridor countless times, which could be considered very familiar to her.

But she had never seen the corridor dyed in this color before.

A chill ran down Ning Meng’s back, feeling frighteningly cold. She stepped back and was about to close the door and return.

Who would have thought that at this time, a figure appeared not far away.

With just a slight glance, she knew that the figure was Li Chun, making her feel relieved. Seeing that she was holding something in her hand, she reckoned that she must’ve come upstairs a while ago.

But after a few seconds, she felt her hair stand on end.

Li Chun stood at the end of the corridor and walked towards her at a very slow speed. She could clearly close the distance within just a few seconds but she moved very slowly.

Moreover, she also noticed that Li Chun kept her head slightly lowered, making it hard to see her face clearly. Her hair was also draped down, covering most of her face.

Ning Meng had never seen Li Chun with her hair down, the only time she would do that was when she had just finished washing her hair.

Perhaps because she caught her standing at the door, Li Chun’s speed suddenly picked up pace.

Ning Meng’s feet seemed to be filled with lead. She couldn’t move at all, and her hand on the door seemed to be stuck with glue.

Li Chun walked all the way towards her, with her head still lowered. She carried a box in her hand, and suddenly thrusted it out.

The meaning was very clear, she was asking her to take it.

Ning Meng intuitively felt that there was something wrong and took a step back, but still couldn’t walk away, “System, system, what’s going on? What’s wrong with Li Chun?”

Li Chun was wearing pajamas, standing in front of her. Her hair was loosely draped, appearing no different to female ghosts in horror movies, and she didn’t even utter a word.

The system did not answer.

Ning Meng could only reach out to take the box in her hand, and was about to ask what it was when Li Chun finally raised her head and looked at her coldly with a strange smile.

She was immediately frightened, taking a step back and nearly throwing the box away.

Li Chun not only had a weird expression on, her body also evidently revealed abnormalities. Only the whites of her eyes could be seen, turning fiercely, looking like an evil ghost from hell.

Ning Meng’s scalp turned numb seeing this sight, and just as she was about to move, the door closed by itself.

Li Chun’s hand suddenly appeared at the crack of the door that was almost closed, the paleness of it vastly different from the paleness people usually had. She ruthlessly held onto the door and pushed it open.

But it was unknown what Shi Qi had imbued in the door, because despite Li Chun’s strength, she was still unable to push it open. Instead, the door closed in the midst of her mournful shrieks.

The room plunged into silence.

Ning Meng slumped down on the ground, cold sweat covering her forehead, chills running down her back. Her whole body was completely devoid of strength as if she had just been fished out of water.

“The urn!”

The system’s voice suddenly rang out, “Quickly throw it out!”

Ning Meng subconsciously looked at the box. With a lamp in the room, she was able to see the true appearance of it.

The box was carved into the shape of a house with two floors, appearing like an exquisite wood carving, but the carved pattern on it made one’s back turn cold.

The system reminded her once again, “Quickly throw it out!”

Just as its words fell, the box suddenly moved, it first vibrated faintly before gradually quaking strongly, and it shook continuously as if something was about to come out of it.

Ning Meng reacted and opened the door.

Li Chun was still outside the door, staring at her with deathly pale eyes at the moment. She gazed at Ning Meng unblinkingly, her hair fluttering with the wind.

Seeing this, Ning Meng swallowed and threw the quaking box out abruptly, hitting Li Chun’s arms.

When the originally restless urn arrived back in her arms, Li Chun suddenly fell silent.

Upon receiving the urn, Li Chun’s expression turned ugly. She wanted to rush into the room, but was obstructed by an invisible force, bouncing back from the impact.

Ning Meng breathed a sigh of relief, feeling fortunate that she couldn’t get in.

The system said, “The Yin air on her body is very heavy. She must have touched something just now. Don’t go towards her. This room is still relatively safe.”

How could she dare go out? She was only willing to stay in this room.

The door seemed to be unable to shut, hampered by Li Chun’s hand. For some reason, Li Chun, who was scared just now, suddenly became unafraid, despite not daring to come forward.

Ning Meng was by the windows, the place farthest from the door, and she couldn’t help asking the system, “What’s going on today? Is she possessed by a ghost?”

The system replied, “More or less.”

Li Chun was at the door, holding onto the urn. With the dim background behind her, and her white eyes, this image looked extremely horrifying.

After being stuck in this deadlock for a period of time, Ning Meng’s body turned stiff, feeling very uncomfortable.

Li Chun, who was at the door, didn’t react at all, wearing the same expression from start to end. She simply didn’t make any new moves at all, staring intently at her instead.

Anyone who was being stared at all night would feel scared, let alone Ning Meng.

She once had a dream, which was similar to the situation she was in right now. She was standing in the corridor, unable to move. The corridor was covered with a blood red color, and a female ghost floated in front of her, unmoving.

The mechanical voice of the system rang in her ears, “I just checked some info and found that the cottage is a treasured place for Feng Shui. The reason for saying this is that every time it hits a certains time, this place becomes a place where yin and yang meet.”

Ning Meng understood only half of its words, “Then what’s going on right now?”

The system said, “Today is exactly that day.”

…..

When she woke up again the next day, the sun was shining in through the window.

Ning Meng woke up in a daze, and jumped up from the bed, remembering that she had fallen asleep after talking to the system last night.

She looked not far away and saw that the door was closed tightly, and everything seemed normal.

In such broad daylight, nothing should happen right?

Ning Meng got out of the bed. The room was filled with bright light, feeling warm and comfortable. She opened the door, and happened to see Li Chun carrying the mop upstairs while humming.

Seeing her standing there, she immediately cried out, “Madam, why are you up so early?”

Ning Meng didn’t answer her, but looked up and down at her suspiciously. It was only when she came to her, that she saw no traces of what she looked like last night.

She took a deep breath, “I couldn’t sleep.”

In fact, it wasn’t really that early right now, it was almost noon, she told Li Chun.

Recalling the Li Chun that she saw last night, then looking at the normal Li Chun in front of her, Ning Meng always felt something was wrong and felt uncomfortable.

She made an excuse and went downstairs.

There was a big box on the coffee table, which seemed to be an express delivery.

Li Chun followed her down the stairs, and saw her stare at it, offering an explanation, “This was delivered this morning. Before I could catch who sent it, it was left outside the cottage and the name written on it was addressed to you, Madam.”

She thought for a while and said, “I thought Madame had bought something online.”

The cottage and the mansion were interconnected, but they also had their own doors leading to the outside.

Who would send her something?

Ning Meng was a little curious and took the scissors, opening the box directly. When she saw the contents inside, she only felt her blood turn cold, cold sweat breaking out.

Because lying in the box was the urn she had seen last night.
