Chapter 77 - The Three Wanders (2/2)

As if those who were whispering became aware that Xu Suying was still awake. Their whispering and laughter grew louder and louder. Until it sounded like they were in her bedroom. Surrounding her bed and causing her to feel suffocated. 

Then right next to her, she felt the bed being pushed down. As if someone sat down next to her. Xu Suying's heart began pounding. They're not humans... She was also actually hearing what they were saying compared to before. 

"Will you look at what we have here? This little one is still wide awake!" A female voice gasped in surprise, but her voice was filled was sarcasm. 

"Stop. We can't touch her." Another voice intervened, it sounded like a teenage boy.

"Keke, little one, do you want to know the answer to your question?" This one was apparently the one who sat down on the bed. Because it was whispering right next to Xu Suying's ear. 

Question? Xu Suying doesn't recall asking anyone a question… Wait… It can't be the question she asked about why does it have to be Feifei? 

Xu Suying clenched her mouth, damn. I asked, but I didn't ask for an answer this way! 

"Keke, look, she is yelling at us! I ought to-"

"Didn't I say we can't touch her. Look, she is still wearing that red string."

At this moment, Xu Suying was so thankful for being diligent in wearing the red string. She sighed out in relief, at least, they can't do anything to harm her. 

"Keke," That third voice coughed and laughed, "The answer to your question is that… The Yang family is cursed! Keke!"

All three of those voices laughed together in joy. It was as if they were so excited about telling another person this secret.

While Xu Suying was scared for her life. She rather not know because it felt like she was going to join them soon by knowing it. Go away! Go! She yelled at them inside her head. Apparently, they can hear her that way too. 

"A-aiyo, look at this little one forcing us to go after using us!" The female chuckled, tapping her long fingernails against Xu Suying's closet. 

"Keke, do you want to know why they are cursed?" 

No, so go away! Xu Suying yelled at them, but it didn't seem to work. It seemed like they were having a conversation with her. But at the same time, they were talking about it among themselves too. 

"Let me tell you a familiar bedtime story, keke!" That person laughed, clearing his throat as if his raspy voice wasn't scary enough as it was. "A long, long time ago, there was a small kingdom. Keke! There lived a prominent family who went to the doorstep of a Great General. They asked for his daughter's hand in marriage. They promised that they will come, bring gifts and treasures once the girl turn of age. That year when the girl turned sixteen, they did bring her family the best gift of all! They killed her! Keke! Ah, the end."

Was that supposed to be a bedtime story or a scary story? Xu Suying cried on the inside. What an awful storyteller too! Please just go away now that you finished telling me your awful tale. 

"You are always so bad at telling the story!" The female screeched, "Should have let me told it! I can paint her a detailed picture in her head."

No, please, no! Xu Suying begged. She doesn't want any painting pictures in her head. Gosh, she felt like she was going crazy with these three ghosts. They were different from those who used to bother her, but she still did not want them near her.

"Keke, why does it matter? She was there to see it all happen!" 

What! Xu Suying's eyes flung open, and she sat up right away.

However, her bedroom became so quiet that only her own breathing was heard. It was as if no one was there to begin with. There was no whispering or that ghost with the annoying laughter. The horrendous tapping against her closet door was gone too. 

She threw her pillow at the closet door and hit the part of the bed where she felt it went down. 

"Come back!" Xu Suying demanded, searching for them, but there was nothing. "What did you mean? How was I there!" 

What the- She thought her dealing with these type of things were over. It was just nonsense that they were sprouting! Why is she even asking them to return! Why is she also dealing with them again after all this time? Is it because the protection is getting weaker?

For the first time in years, she wished the two-year ritual will come quicker. It was still months away, unfortunately. She never wants to experience this ever again! 

Xu Suying covered her head with her blanket and fell sound asleep. Nothing came to bother her anymore that night. They left, and it should have been that way from the start. 

Except, they were there all along. It was just that Xu Suying no longer heard them because she wasn't meant to. 

"Tsk, this little one! She dares throw things at me! We are still here, brat!" The female ghost tried picking up the pillow, but her hand went right through it. 

"Keke, our time with her only last this long. If only we can bother that other one... What was her name again?" 

The quietest and the youngest voice sounding among the three of them grinned, "Oh, how it's been such a long time now, Xiong Jingfei." 

"Oh, you poor little thing. I have been wandering for a long time now, but you have been wandering longer than me." 

"Keke, you're still a brat to me! You may be wandering longer than both of us, but you look like a sixteen-year-old only!"

The one they claimed to look sixteen-year-old looked over at Xu Suying. He shook his head, remembering the first time he met her and Xiong Jingfei. She was an awful liar, and Xiong Jingfei had a crazy temper. She almost killed him when he set off the firework too. 

Then in a flash, there were only two of them left in Xu Suying's bedroom. 

"Keke, he went off to look for that other brat!" 

"Poor little one... We should leave too."

That sixteen-year-old ghost appeared in Xiong Jingfei's bedroom. He tried touching Xiong Jingfei's hair, but his hand went right through. He sighed, "You and Yang Zheyan were both reborn again. I wonder if my Master came back to this world as well?"

Pompom woke up and growled at him, which he slowly backed out of the room and out of sight. Not before leaving a few words behind, "I hope things will be different this time around, and for my Master too."
