Chapter 978 Attack (1)
Although the Cheetah Corps had been mobilized, this matter wasn’t under the special force’s jurisdiction. Moreover, the matter of the flowerbed in the Shen residence had blown up too much. Even if someone cared about their friendship with the Shen family and wanted to make an exception for them, the matter couldn’t be covered up.In the end, the Shen family’s matter would be handled by a military division leader. The division leader’s surname was Ren, and Wei Xiao, Commander Lu, and Fang Qingtian would also share the responsibility. However, for some reason, Commander Lu roped Chi Lingyan in. Wei Xiao naturally agreed while Fang Qingtian didn’t dare disagree, nor did he have any reason to do so.
Hearing this, Chi Shuyan relaxed. As long as the military was willing to investigate, no matter how well Shen Rongyin hid, they would still be able to find loopholes.
It was past nine in the evening, and both her father and Qi Zhenbai were busy. After dinner, Chi Shuyan was alone in her room. She played with her phone in bed. After playing for a while, she felt a little sleepy. She was about to turn off the light, when she felt a burning gaze on her from outside the window.
Chi Shuyan’s face didn’t change. She glanced at the window and only heard the wind blowing and the rustling of leaves outside. There was no other movement. She was about to look away, when a shadow as thin as thread drew close to the window frame; it was easy to miss it if one didn’t look carefully.
Chi Shuyan narrowed her eyes and looked away. She turned off the light, but didn’t close her eyes.
As soon as the light went out, a face covered in red spots and half-peeling skin suddenly pressed against the window. It smiled eerily, and the transparent window clearly revealed the terrifying expression. The red spots covered the whole face, and it shed even more skin. It was a terrifying sight.
That terrifying face gradually squeezed in through the crack in the window and stared greedily at the fair neck of the woman on the bed with a hideous smile.
Only after confirming that there was no movement on the bed did the face pounce and open its mouth to bite the other party’s neck.
Chi Shuyan’s eyes snapped open. An intermediate high-grade Exorcism Talisman suddenly appeared in her hand, and she stuck it on that hideous and peeling face. When the talisman touched it, the face let out a blood-curdling screech and sizzled like a piece of meat being roasted on an iron plate. That spotty, peeling face was instantly burned black and turned into smoke as it quickly escaped.
Chi Shuyan propped herself up, took out a few more Exorcism Talismans and threw them at the window. The black smoke was immediately hit by the golden light, and it let out a blood-curdling screech. It smacked into the window with a bang, and the black smoke turned back into the hideous peeling face, which had fainted.
Chi Shuyan narrowed her eyes and sized up the terrifying face that had finally shed all its skin. This was most likely the ghost thing in Shen Rongyin’s bracelet.
Since this thing had just so happened to come courting death, Chi Shuyan couldn’t be blamed for seizing the chance. She had initially been thinking about Shen Rongyin’s connection to Commissar Shen. Even if she wanted to find trouble with Shen Rongyin, she had to stop herself from being impulsive, and had to follow the laws of the military district.
It would naturally be good if she could get rid of this ghost thing as soon as possible without a fuss. Chi Shuyan was about to walk over and completely get rid of this ghost thing, when the front door was pushed open and Father Chi’s voice rang out. “Yan Yan, are you asleep?”
Chi Shuyan was distracted when she heard her father’s voice. She saw the unconscious ghost face suddenly open its eyes and quickly burrow out through a crack in the window. Chi Shuyan immediately opened the window and channeled her spiritual energy into a blade to attack the target. She was about to chase after it, when her father’s voice rang out again outside her door. “Yan Yan, are you asleep?”
