Chapter 75: Food

Chen Fang walked slowly towards the door, but found the sound very strange. Instead of a knock, it sounded more like the noise made by a blunt object hitting the door forcefully.

Chen Fang felt a bit scared. When he peeked through the peephole, he nearly fainted.

A disheveled woman was lying on the door, hitting it with her head again and again. As she moved, he saw a face without any facial features.

Seemingly sensing Chen Fang's gaze, the woman slowly looked up and let out several shrill screams from her throat. The speed of her hitting the door became faster and faster, as if she would break in the next second.

Chen Fang let out a sudden scream and scurried around the room in a panic. He had never experienced such a supernatural event before, and his mind went blank at the moment.

Suddenly, his phone rang twice with a "buzz" sound. It was a call from Song Xiyin.

Chen Fang suddenly remembered that Yu Nian and Song Xiyin were staying in the same room. He quickly pleaded for help, "I... There's a ghost woman at my door. She's hitting the door with her head... She... I... Master Yu, save me!!"

Song Xiyin on the other end of the phone was startled and a bit confused. "But Yu Nian just went out of the room..."

Chen Fang stiffened all over and was completely desperate.

But at this moment, the banging sound at the door suddenly disappeared, replaced by a shrill scream.

Chen Fang was stunned for a moment, then summoned up his courage and opened the door. He saw Yu Nian standing safely at the door. The ghost woman, who had been so terrifying just now, was now being held in Yu Nian's hand like a weak little kitten, unable to fight back at all.

Chen Fang's heart immediately settled down. Looking at Yu Nian in front of him, he felt extremely grateful and touched. If Yu Nian hadn't appeared in time, he was afraid he would really have died here.

Yu Nian seemed to have just woken up, with a hint of laziness between her eyebrows. When she saw Chen Fang, she nodded slightly and turned to leave.

"Wait!"

Remembering his previous contempt and ridicule of Yu Nian, Chen Fang showed a look of shame on his face. "Master is really amazing. You were able to accurately calculate the time when the ghost woman would appear. Please accept my bow!"

Yu Nian rubbed her eyes. "Actually, I was woken up by your scream."

Chen Fang:......

Just then, Song Xiyin ran over from the room. Seeing this scene, she couldn't help but praise, "Didn't I say so? With Yu Nian around, ghosts have nowhere to hide!"

Chen Fang also sighed, "She is really young and promising. The younger generation is really formidable!"

Yu Nian smiled but didn't respond.

She casually handed a talisman to Chen Fang and said, "The lighting in the last room of the hotel is not good, and the occupancy rate is relatively low. Over time, the popularity here is weak and the yang energy is low, so it is very easy for resentful spirits to gather. If Director Chen doesn't want his fortune to be damaged, he should find a Taoist temple or a Buddhist temple with strong incense and do some volunteer work within his ability to accumulate good fortune and virtue."

Chen Fang now trusted Yu Nian completely. He quickly took the talisman and nodded in agreement.

The night gradually deepened. There were no stars or moon, only the rustling sound of the leaves being blown by the night wind.

It was already midnight. Mu Chuchu stepped into the elevator uneasily. Soon, an old woman walked into the elevator.

Mu Chuchu had just pressed the floor button when a sharp mechanical female voice sounded, "Overweight, already overweight..."

Mu Chuchu was stunned. There were only the two of them in the elevator. How could it be overweight?

Just as she was about to press the floor number again, a burning sensation suddenly came from her chest. Mu Chuchu inexplicably felt a bit flustered. She paused for a moment and stepped out of the elevator before the door closed.

For some reason, she glanced at the old woman and then watched the elevator door close slowly.

But who would have known that the next second, with a loud "bang", the elevator actually fell!

When the firefighters came to rescue and opened the elevator door, the old woman in the elevator was already dead. Her death was extremely horrible!

Mu Chuchu's legs instantly went weak. She didn't know how she got home. Remembering Yu Nian's words, she tremblingly took out the yellow talisman from her pocket. But the yellow talisman quickly burned up in the blink of an eye and turned into a handful of ashes...

Early the next morning, Song Xiyin pushed open the door sleepily and saw a woman standing directly in front of the door.

Song Xiyin subconsciously let out a scream, but then suddenly found that this distraught woman was Mu Chuchu.

"What's... wrong with you?"

Mu Chuchu's eyes were full of bloodshot eyes, and her face was a bit pale and puffy. She looked as if she hadn't slept all night.

Mu Chuchu didn't answer Song Xiyin's question immediately. Her eyes were unfocused, and she repeated in a low voice, "I want to see Yu Nian."

In the room, Yu Nian looked at Mu Chuchu as if she had already expected her to come. She quietly listened to Mu Chuchu tell what had happened yesterday.

Looking at Mu Chuchu's panicked look, Yu Nian said truthfully, "I've said before that the talisman can only help you avoid one disaster. The karmic obstacles on your body are too heavy. In the next period of time, there will be many such life - threatening disasters."

Yu Nian's voice was very calm, but it made Mu Chuchu shiver all over. She stood up tremblingly and almost pleaded, "Yu Nian, I was wrong in the past. Please save me. I'm only twenty - six years old. I don't want to die..."

Yu Nian was silent. She stared at Mu Chuchu intently. The thick black qi swirling around her was so dense and terrifying that it was like a flowing river. It started from her ankles and directly reached her shoulders. The black qi was still rising while intertwining with each other.

Yu Nian knew that when this resentful qi reached Mu Chuchu's head, she would surely die.

She closed her eyes and softly asked, "Why did you abort that child?"

Mu Chuchu was stunned for a moment. Her face turned as white as a dead person's. She choked with sobs, "At first, I didn't know I was pregnant. I thought it was just because I was too tired from filming and I would be okay after a rest. It wasn't until the pregnancy reaction became more and more serious that I secretly went to the hospital. The doctor said there was already a three - month - old fetus in my stomach... I was so happy. Which mother in the world doesn't love her own child?" Mu Chuchu paused for a moment and slowly stroked her abdomen. A look of grief appeared on her face. "I can only blame that child for having bad luck. When I was pregnant with her, it was the rising period of my career. Giving birth is too risky for a woman! Moreover, I'm an actress! I had no choice but to have an abortion... But I didn't expect that since some time ago, I've been having frequent nightmares.

In my dreams, there's always a little girl. Her skin is blue - purple. I try hard to see her clearly, but I always feel there's a layer of gray mist covering her head. At first, she just quietly squatted on my bedside and stared at me. But recently, she has even started to bite and devour me. Her teeth are very fine. She starts from my abdomen and then bites my limbs... I've become her food!"

Remembering the sound of her flesh, bones being chewed and crushed in the dream, Mu Chuchu became even more terrified. Big teardrops fell from her eyes. She suddenly reached out and grabbed Yu Nian's sleeve. With her pitiful expression, it made anyone who saw her feel soft - hearted.

"I know she's my daughter. She must hate me because she couldn't come into this world! I'm really wronged. I just wanted to give her a better future..."

Yu Nian noticed that the moment Mu Chuchu finished speaking, the black qi around her suddenly flashed and then spread upwards at a faster speed. In the blink of an eye, it reached her neck.
