Chapter 258: Chapter 49 The Sea Monster

Looking at the lifelike painting in front of them, both Hai Jian Shi and Hai Han’s eyes widened in astonishment!

"This is... the Ji family home!"

Hai Han also recognized it at a glance, this was a painting of his uncle’s house!

Dai Lin gasped with surprise and immediately asked Hai Jian Shi, "Where is that place? Quick, take me there!"

Meanwhile, Ji Danshu was blissfully unaware of her fate.

After taking a step up the stairs, she suddenly felt a shiver run through her body, followed by an involuntary shudder.

Right after, she instinctively turned her head back.

But behind her, there was nothing.

However, Ji Danshu didn’t feel any relief, on the contrary, she felt even more terrified within her heart.

She continued walking upstairs, calling out, "Danyang! Danyang!"

Ji Danshu had a terrible premonition that perhaps Danyang... would no longer respond to her.

"Danyang..."

Her father had repeatedly reminded her on his deathbed to follow the rules and not to bury the murdered at sea.

Moreover, she realized that in the last days of his life, her father often spoke of ghosts and spirits.

In fact, professions such as morticians and corpse makeup artists are usually the least likely to believe in ghosts. Otherwise, dealing with corpses every day, they would have scared themselves to death long ago.

But listening to her father’s last words, it wasn’t hard to deduce that perhaps... ghosts really did exist! And now, Ji Danshu was finally able to confirm wholeheartedly that ghosts truly existed!

"Danyang!"

Suddenly...

She felt a coolness on her forehead.

Water trickled down from her forehead, over her nose, and then reached her lips.

She instinctively licked it and soon she discovered...

It was very salty!

This was obviously sea water!

For the people living on the Azure Island, sea water was a very familiar thing.

Then more water began to pour down!

She immediately looked up!

Sea water... how could it possibly be leaking from the ceiling?

Ji Danshu became even more vigilant.

The darkness around her made her body start to tremble. However, she couldn’t leave just like that before she was certain that Danyang wasn’t there!

She continued to move forward, step by step...

Soon after, she began to notice that even the ground beneath her feet was getting wet.

Ahead, there even began the sound of flowing water.

Ji Danshu immediately thought of her father who had died in the wooden house, his body completely drenched.

She’s here!

She is right here!

It was her... who killed dad!

"Leng Mu!"

Ji Danshu looked around, clenched her fists, and said, "It’s you, isn’t it?"

There was no response, but the volume of sea water seeping from the ceiling was increasing.

Right behind Ji Danshu and not too far away was the staircase leading down... yet she somehow felt water accumulating under her feet!

"You killed my dad... I’m begging you, please at least spare my brother, will you?"

Still, there was no response.

"No, to be precise, your real name is Mei Hanyin, right?"

Suddenly, she heard an unusual splashing sound behind her!

It sounded as if someone was walking on water!

"Leng Mu, I’ll just call you that," Ji Danshu cleared her throat, mustering courage for the sake of her brother, Dan Yang. She spoke, "I know you hate me, and I can guess why. You had an agreement with Jian Shi to die together and then reincarnate as humans, right? You nearly succeeded."

Ji Danshu raised her hand, gripping her chest tightly.

"The person you should hate is me! I imitated your painting style, so Jian Shi mistook me for your reincarnation. He married me thinking I was you, and you... my father used a cursed object from Hospital 444 to seal you back into the sea! But all of this—none of it had anything to do with Dan Yang from the beginning to the end!"

Even as fear reached its peak, Ji Danshu decided to take a desperate stand.

She could vividly remember how her brother, Dan Yang, had always protected her since they were children.

She absolutely could not stand to watch her brother become a drowned corpse like her father!

Not at all!

"Leng Mu! If you want to hate someone, direct it at me! It was I who took your lover away, and he has since realized his mistake. Marrying me was an error! Let go of my brother, please let him go! If you must kill someone, then come find me!"

The water under her feet seemed to be accumulating more and more, and the ceiling continued to leak seawater.

Chilling terror began to gnaw away at Ji Danshu’s heart.

She remembered what her brother, Dan Yang, had said, "Back then, the doctors at Hospital 444 said that resentful spirits can’t communicate like ghosts, they can brutally kill people who’ve done nothing to them, without any reason!"

Still holding on to a glimmer of hope, Ji Danshu wanted to communicate with Leng Mu; after all, the Leng Mu she remembered, although morose and reclusive, wasn’t entirely impossible to communicate with.

"Please... I beg you... don’t kill my brother... I’m begging you..."

Ji Danshu’s tears fell uncontrollably...

Everything was a mistake...

From the beginning, her father shouldn’t have performed a sea burial for Mei Hanyin... In the end, driven by a sense of responsibility, he chose to shorten his own life to seal this evil spirit in the sea.

But now... she had returned!

"Mei Hanyin!"

Ji Danshu finally changed her form of address and yelled, "There’s a head for every debt, and a debtor for every account! The beast who killed you years ago is already dead! No one else on this island has wronged you! My father performed the sea burial in the hopes that you could reincarnate! But after you were reborn, how many have you killed! Even back then... you started killing!"

Ji Danshu took the plunge.

She decided to intentionally draw enmity.

Her father was already dead, and she couldn’t let her brother become the next sacrifice!

Hospital 444...

The only hope!

But the problem was, the business card wasn’t in her possession! Without the card, even if she called, it would just be a disconnected number!

What should she do?

What could she do?

If she could just call Hospital 444, maybe there was a slim chance of survival! But the card... could there be one in Dan Yang’s room?

Spiritual Therapy Points... It didn’t matter, as long as she could end this female ghost, she wouldn’t mind paying with the so-called Spiritual Therapy Points to overdraw her future!

Just then, she suddenly felt a pair of cold, wet hands grasp her neck from behind, squeezing tightly!

"Ah..."

She could only manage this syllable, then her body was slowly lifted...

At that moment, Ji Danshu had never felt death so close!

Without a doubt, if she died then, there would be no more chances for a normal reincarnation.

Just as she was about to lose consciousness, suddenly a voice rang out!

"Let her go!"

Following that, she plummeted into the seawater!

"Danshu! Danshu!"

The voice Ji Danshu heard was that of her husband, Hai Jian Shi!

Strong arms lifted her out of the water, but the lack of oxygen from being choked left her disoriented for a moment.

"Danshu! Are you all right?"

"Mommy! Mommy!"

She heard the calls of her husband and son.

"I’m sorry, Mrs. Hai! I am Dai Lin, a doctor from Hospital 444! I’ve arrived late!"
