Chapter 47 - 44 More Terrifying Than a Psychopathic Killer

Chapter 47: Chapter 44 More Terrifying Than a Psychopathic Killer

Qin Zhao’s words, like a dark cloud, instantly enveloped everyone’s heads.

Especially Director Li Zhen, whose expression turned extremely ugly.

He stepped forward, examined the body carefully, and discovered that it really was Shi Yunkai.

"Are the other four also in trouble?"

Li Zhen looked at Qin Zhao, asking with difficulty.

He had originally thought Qin Zhao’s talk of anomalies was just nonsense, but it turned out to be true!

It was just the first day, and they had already had a fatality. How could they continue shooting?

"I don’t have their birth dates; I don’t know."

Those two bodyguards finding people, she wasn’t sure.

But the female star who went to watch the sunrise with Shi Yunkai, she guessed, was probably dead.

Because before they left, Qin Zhao had seen their faces, and they all had extremely ominous signs.

"I—I’m not filming anymore! I want to go home," whined Pei Rou.

Thinking that she had almost gone to the mountain to watch the sunrise with Shi Yunkai and died a violent death like him, she was suddenly terrified.

She cried so hard that she trembled all over. If it wasn’t for her agent holding her, she might have fallen to the ground.

"Director, what should we do now?"

Li Zhen sighed deeply, "First, call the police, and then we’ll see once the police arrive."

Everyone lost their will to work, all gathered inside the house, sitting in a circle.

Outside, the sky grew darker, and the clouds over Mang Mountain became heavier, giving a sense of an impending storm.

The bodyguards who had just hit Shi Yunkai were a bit uneasy.

"Director, we hit Shi Yunkai just to protect you all, so his death shouldn’t be related to us, right? You all need to testify for us when the police arrive."

Li Zhen didn’t speak but instead looked towards Qin Zhao.

He felt utterly confused, vaguely feeling Qin Zhao might know the truth.

Qin Zhao spoke up, "Shi Yunkai’s spine was forcibly broken, and his tongue was cut off; he died from excessive blood loss, indeed unrelated to you."

Su Xiaotong thought about Shi Yunkai’s ghastly state and couldn’t help touching the goosebumps on her arm.

"Zhaozhao, is there some kind of psychopath hidden in the mountains?"

"It might be something even more terrifying."

Qin Zhao looked towards the increasingly dark sky, her expression a bit stern.

If it were an ordinary criminal, she could deduce clues through Shi Yunkai, but she couldn’t figure out anything.

There were only two possibilities, the culprit was from the Mystical Sect,

or it wasn’t human at all!

Qin Zhao’s words undoubtedly made everyone even more nervous; they all dared not even breathe heavily.

Su Xiaotong dragged a chair and sat next to Qin Zhao, feeling more secure being next to her.

"Director, the emergency call won’t go through. Why is there no signal here?"

"What? Let me try!"

"My God, my phone has no signal either! I had signal when we arrived yesterday!"

"Mine has no signal either; let’s leave quickly!"

Everyone in the house stood up, frantically packing their things, feeling even more that this place was eerie.

Some people went outside the house, stood on stones, and raised their phones high, but still, there was no signal at all.

Within minutes, most people had moved their things to the cars, and as a few girls saw the body on the ground, they felt increasingly afraid and couldn’t help but sob softly.

Qin Zhao pulled Su Xiaotong aside to a corner, handed her own backpack to her, "Leave with them. If you don’t go now, something might happen tonight.

Here are two talismans, one Communication Talisman and one peace charm, I put them in the bag.

If you encounter any danger, just use them."

Qin Zhao told Su Xiaotong the spells for the talismans, insisting that she memorize them.

After memorizing them, Su Xiaotong asked worriedly, "What about you? Aren’t you leaving with us?"

"I’m going up the mountain to see what’s going on."

Su Xiaotong felt scared but was even more worried about Qin Zhao.

"Let me go with you!"

"No need, you’d just hold me back. Leave with the others."

"But I’m afraid for you..."

"There’s nothing but if."

In the chaotic crowd, Chu Yan walked out toward the two women.

Su Xiaotong hugged Qin Zhao’s backpack and said no more.

"Later you can ride with me in the car."

Hearing Chu Yan’s words, Su Xiaotong looked at him and then at Qin Zhao.

"Do you two know each other?"

As Qin Zhao’s agent, she didn’t even know about Qin Zhao getting married.

"We don’t know each other."

Qin Zhao glanced coldly at Chu Yan and walked past him.

Dr. Chu stared at her departing figure, his eyes darkening.

It wasn’t long before everyone had packed their things, ready to drive away from Mang Mountain.

But as the sky darkened, it was only past five o’clock—if there were no lights, one wouldn’t see their hand in front of their face.

"Qin Zhao, hurry up and get in the car; we’re leaving."

Li Zhen, seeing Qin Zhao heading towards the foot of the mountain, couldn’t help but call out to her.

"You go ahead; I’m going to check things out."

"Are you out of your mind? Five people have already died on this mountain, and you still want to go over there!"

Qin Zhao didn’t reply, and only turned back to say to Su Xiaotong, "Leave your car for me, and you take the medical team’s car."

"Okay, just be sure to be careful. If you can’t handle it, leave immediately!"

Although Su Xiaotong knew she was capable, she still worried.

Qin Zhao nodded and continued toward the foot of the mountain.

"Director Li, let’s hurry up and leave; if she wants to court death, who can stop her?"

Pei Rou couldn’t help but urge the driver, "Quick, drive!"

"Yeah, let’s go. Don’t bother with her!"

"Move! I don’t want to stay in this haunted place for another second—drive!"

"Woowoo, I want to go home!"

Pei Rou and her agent’s car sped off first, driving fast.

Lou Yanfei sat in the car, anxiously watching Qin Zhao. Seeing her walk further away, he opened his mouth but ultimately said nothing.

"Dr. Chu, why did you get out of the car?"

"You go ahead."

Dr. Chu said succinctly and ran in the direction Qin Zhao had gone.

Their figures vanished into the dense night.

Su Xiaotong, curious, watched him leave and couldn’t help but ask the medical team, "Dr. Chu isn’t going after our Zhaozhao, is he? Do they know each other?"

"Yes, Dr. Chu came here for Qin Zhao; they’re married."

"Aren’t you Qin Zhao’s agent? Didn’t you know they were married?"

Su Xiaotong: "..."

As an agent, she felt insulted.

Woowoo, Qin Zhao doesn’t care about her at all! She didn’t even tell her about her marriage!

"Hey, aren’t you worried about Qin Zhao? What is she doing in the mountains?"

"Qin Zhao can divine and catch ghosts; she’ll definitely be fine. Let me tell you a secret, actually acting is her sideline. Her real talent is catching ghosts and fighting!"

Others: "..."

Though they should have thought Su Xiaotong was talking nonsense, remembering the eerie events of the day and that Qin Zhao had constantly told the director about the geomantic issues here, they believed her.

"Should we wait for them to come back?"

"Let’s go first; Zhaozhao told me to leave first so I won’t trouble her."

With that said by Su Xiaotong, the driver finally drove away.

Leaving the village, they realized there was an issue—only they were present, no villagers!

"When we arrived in the morning, there were quite a few people moving around, where did they all go now?

Not only no people, not a single house had lights on. Could it be they can’t even afford electricity?"

"There should be candles at least!"

Furthermore, as they drove closer to the village entrance, the fog thickened, and even with headlights, they couldn’t see the road ahead clearly.

Su Xiaotong couldn’t help but take out the Communication Talisman and peace charm that Qin Zhao left her, clutching them tightly in her hand.
