Chapter 28: Chapter 28 Why don’t you come home tonight? Wronged.jpg

"Zhaozhao, you finally made it!"

Qin Zhao arrived at Su Xiaotong’s house, and she excitedly pulled her inside. Her face was pale, and her hand was trembling as she held Qin Zhao’s—a clear sign she was terrified.

"Just now, Wei Miao called me, and she said Xu Yuanpeng disappeared. Xu Yuanpeng is an up-and-coming idol, and you’ve met him at an event before, remember?"

Qin Zhao carefully searched her memory before nodding, "I remember, what happened next?"

"He saw some Disc Immortal ritual online and wanted to try it out. But in the middle of it, the barbecue was ready, and everyone went to eat, leaving no one to watch his Disc Immortal summoning. He didn’t continue the ritual.

When we finished eating and returned, we found the disc cracked, but nobody had touched it.

They didn’t take it seriously, and we left the party villa.

Just now, Wei Miao called me again, saying that she couldn’t contact Xu Yuanpeng all day. She even went to his house but didn’t find him."

"Did you call the police?"

"Not yet. The police will only handle it if he has been missing for over 24 hours."

Qin Zhao didn’t reply but calculated the karma surrounding Su Xiaotong.

"Zhaozhao, could Xu Yuanpeng’s disappearance be related to the Disc Immortal?"

Su Xiaotong usually didn’t believe in these things, but after experiencing what happened at Dragon King Temple and the incident with Xie Han, she considered the existence of the Disc Immortal quite plausible.

The video that Xu Yuanpeng saw online said that if the ritual is interrupted, it would anger the Disc Immortal. The Disc Immortal would then seek to kill everyone present one by one.

"You’ve indeed got yourself into trouble."

Qin Zhao deduced the result and sighed, "Invoking the Disc Immortal like this isn’t something you should play around with. You were also unlucky that day; that party villa was no ordinary villa."

"What do you mean?"

Su Xiaotong’s face turned even paler upon hearing her words.

"I don’t know for sure yet, but there’s something off about that villa. Let’s go check it out tomorrow."

Qin Zhao glanced at the clock—it was 7:30 PM.

"It’s still early. Ask your friends to get a Peach Wood Sword and place it by the windows and doors. If they can’t find a Peach Wood Sword, hanging some garlic should also help you get through tonight."

"Okay, I’ll tell them right away!"

Su Xiaotong called her friends one by one, and some, knowing about Xu Yuanpeng’s disappearance, were a bit scared and did as Su Xiaotong told them.

"Ah, Xiaotong, you’re making a mountain out of a molehill. Summoning the Disc Immortal is just child’s play; there’s nothing to be afraid of.

Xu Yuanpeng often parties all night. He might be at a bar right now, flirting with some girls; he couldn’t just disappear.

I’ll take you to the bars he frequents tomorrow, and we’re sure to find him."

On the other end of the phone was Xu Yuanpeng’s agent, Wang Meng.

Wang Meng, much older and a rough man, wasn’t worried about such matters.

"Brother Meng, it’s better to be safe than sorry. You must have some garlic at home, right? Just hang some by your window."

"I never cook—I always order takeaway. Where would I get garlic?" Wang Meng laughed it off casually. "Xiaotong, I’ve got to arrange some work. I’ll hang up now."

He hung up the phone, leaving Su Xiaotong anxiously looking at Qin Zhao.

"Zhaozhao, Brother Meng doesn’t believe it. Could something happen to him?"

"Do you know his birthdate and time?"

"Let me ask."

After obtaining Wang Meng’s birth details, Qin Zhao did a divination.

"He won’t face any life-threatening danger tonight."

Hearing this, Su Xiaotong breathed a sigh of relief.

Qin Zhao narrowed her eyes, a hint of amusement flickering within.

While he might not face any threat to his life, whether he might encounter unclean entities was another matter.

Qin Zhao brought her toiletries and went to freshen up, planning to stay at Su Xiaotong’s place tonight.

After freshening up, she received a WeChat message from Chu Yan.

Dead White Lotus: Why has your chicken eaten over 10,000g of feed in my Ant Farm, even more than my own chicken? Mine has almost starved.

Qin Zhao knew it was a mini-game within a certain payment app, but she never played it.

She didn’t understand why Chu Yan would send her such a trivial message.

Qin Zhao: Why not just chase it away?

Dead White Lotus: Why are you driving them away? It’s not like I can’t afford to take care of them.

Dead White Lotus: Your dog never eats dog food, it always steals the cat food. It just bullied my cat again, can you come back and take care of it?

Qin Zhao: I have something tonight, won’t be back.

Dead White Lotus: [upset]

You’re upset over a bit of cat food?

Stingy ghost!

Qin Zhao snorted. She had bought cat food for the cats, okay?

What’s wrong with her dog eating some?

Qin Zhao didn’t pay attention to Chu Yan anymore. After washing up, she lay down in bed with Su Xiaotong, ready to sleep early.

With Qin Zhao by her side, Su Xiaotong somehow felt very at ease.

Before long, Su Xiaotong’s breathing became light, and she quickly fell asleep.

-

At two in the morning, Wang Meng was still working overtime.

Scratch, scratch.

There were strange noises coming from the window, as if someone was scraping their nails against the wood.

The cold wind howled, accompanied by the whining cries of a child.

Wang Meng’s attention was all on the computer in front of him, so he didn’t notice anything odd nearby.

"I’ll be done here and can rest."

He yawned, suddenly remembering what Su Xiaotong had mentioned.

"Xu Yuanpeng really should keep in touch when he goes out, he never listens."

Wang Meng complained, thinking he should have a good talk with Xu Yuanpeng tomorrow.

He quickly finished the last bit of work, just about to shut down the computer, when he suddenly heard a sweet voice, "Uncle, Xiao Yun will take you to a fun place."

Wang Meng turned to look not far away and saw a little girl holding a doll.

Eh, why is his niece here?

"Xiao Yun, where are you taking uncle?"

Just a moment of confusion crossed Wang Meng’s mind before he pushed the thought aside.

His eyes slowly filled with a perplexed look.

"Uncle, come over here quickly."

Wang Meng, without time to think, saw his niece running ahead and hurriedly chased after her.

But no matter how he ran, he couldn’t catch up to Xiao Yun.

"Xiao Yun, slow down."

Their home was in a thirteenth-floor apartment, where could such a long road be?

Suddenly, this thought flashed through his mind.

Wang Meng snapped awake.

A biting cold wind hit his face, he didn’t know when he had opened the door to the balcony, one leg was already over the railing, about to jump down.

And this was from the thirteenth floor!

If he jumped, it would definitely be broken bones!

The color drained from Wang Meng’s face.

He turned and went back into his apartment, searched several times but couldn’t find any trace of the child.

A cold sweat broke out on his back, and Wang Meng quickly called his older brother.

"Brother, did you bring Xiao Yun to my place just now?"

"No, it’s the middle of the night, why would I go to your place? Were you dreaming?" The voice on the other end was sleepy, clearly woken up by the call, "Xiao Yun is sleeping between me and her mom."

"Ah? Then, I might have been dreaming."

Wang Meng swallowed hard, remembering what Su Xiaotong had warned him about.

He couldn’t have just encountered a ghost, could he?
