490: Chapter 486: Turning You into Shit Ghosts (Third Release!) 490: Chapter 486: Turning You into Shit Ghosts (Third Release!) He returned, stepping inside the won’s restroom.
Lin Tian saw Xu Tangge and Liiu Nai’er both huddled together, their faces filled with panic.
“Water Ghost?”
He examined them both and, seeing no injuries, Lin Tian breathed a sigh of relief.
The so-called Water Ghost was a malevolent spirit from the water, widely rumored among the countryside, also known as a water spirit.
Superstition was prevalent among the rural folk, familiar with all kinds of ghostly spirits.
For example, there were also Wood Spirit Ghosts, Valley Ghosts, Child Ghosts, Bridge Spirits, Window Ghosts, Trip Ghosts, Big-headed Ghosts, Headless Ghosts, Innocent Ghosts, Night Wanderer Ghosts, and more.
Regarding these ghosts, the village elders could recount endless tales of their origins and progeny, stories handed down from generation to generation, thrilling the children even as they frightened them.
Each ghostly tale could be elaborated on by those elders for days and nights without end.
So elders even claid they had personally been obstructed by a Trip Ghost while walking at night, finding themselves walking in circles, unable to find their way out.
They said they could hear the Trip Ghost’s breathing and the rustling sound of its movents.
In such situations, they claid that by stomping one’s feet and spitting around while shouting could scare the Trip Ghost away.
Old Man Wang from the east end of the village claid to have seen a Trip Ghost up close, scared off by his actions, seeing only a figure draped in a long white cloth, feet not touching the ground, rustling the tall grass.
The old man almost claid he had caught the Trip Ghost, so realistic were his stories.
As for Water Ghosts, Lin Tian had also heard those old n talk about them when he was a child, but as he grew up, he paid them no heed.
Especially since he had reincarnated, he believed in Ghost Cultivators from the Netherworld, but he didn’t take any of these mundane ghost stories seriously at all.
However, though he didn’t take them seriously, Liiu Nai’er and Xu Tangge were terrified.
“Brother Muuu Lengzi, it’s true…
there really is a Water Ghost, and it even emitted fire!
There were terrifying sounds coming from the sink too!”
Liiu Nai’er clasped her body with her hands, speaking quickly in a frightened voice.
Beside her, Xu Tangge also nodded rapidly, beginning to speak nervously, “I…
I had just pulled up my pants when a ball of fire followed the water flow, scaring so I ran out!”
Hearing this, Lin Tian frowned and stepped into the stall, enduring the pungent sll, looking down into the sink.
Sure enough, there was a light of fire in the toilet’s sink, and it was present on both sides.
That fire, along with the water in the sink, moved slowly towards the drain.
Simultaneously, he could hear ghost-like moaning sounds coming from the sink.
Lin Tian stood up and walked towards the firelight, and upon closer inspection, found that the light was about to go out.
It was a paper boat carrying a bundle of ashes that had been burned, now extinguished as the water soaked it.
Many boys played with such fire paper boats, even using them to prank girls in connected public restrooms.
Now, Xu Tangge and Liiu Nai’er had mistaken it for a Water Ghost.
“Hmph!”
Snorting coldly, Lin Tian released his Divine Sense perating into the adjacent n’s restroom.
There, two youths were making strange noises at the foul-slling sink, their faces full of wicked delight.
“Alright, no ghosts!
There are no such things as ghosts in this world!
It’s just two guys next door pranking you!”
Lin Tian said with a cold expression, shaking his head.
“What!
Bastards!”
Liiu Nai’er’s face showed anger, and she stord out huffily.
Seeing Xu Tangge relax, Lin Tian also led her out of the public restroom.
“You two guys, get out here!”
It was clear that Liiu Nai’er had a fiery temper, hands on her hips as she yelled at the n’s restroom.
This Little Fatty, when she was little, she was naive and cried easily, but now she’s totally beco a tough girl!
Lin Tian ca out with Xu Tangge, and seeing Liiu Nai’er’s stance, he was speechless.
“Beauty, what’s this about?
Don’t tell you have a crush on us?”
Then, a figure walked out from the n’s restroom, speaking in a sleazy tone.
“Aoow…
ghosts!”
Another figure ran out, screaming exaggeratedly.
Ah~~
Xu Tangge and Liiu Nai’er clearly had an innate fear of ghosts; hearing the screams, they quickly jogged away from the restroom, their forms flustered.
“Tang Ge, it’s okay, there are no such things as ghosts in this world!”
Lin Tian stepped forward, grabbed Xu Tangge’s hand, and patted the back of it to comfort her, then he looked at Liiu Nai’er with a smile and said, “Little Fatty, I thought not only your figure had changed, but your temper and courage too, it turns out you’re still as scared of ghosts as when you were little!”
“You…
you still say!”
Liiu Nai’er shrank her head and hid behind Lin Tian.
“Tsk tsk, this must be the recently returned daughter of Mrs.
Liiu, right?
I haven’t seen her in so many years, and she looks quite striking!”
At this ti, besides the two young n who ca out of the n’s restroom, a group of young n with cigarettes walked over from the lighted ball court and began sizing up Liiu Nai’er and Xu Tangge up and down.
“Little Fatty, co and play with Brother Ba, let’s have a few drinks!”
One of the young n, who was quite stocky, stretched out his hand toward Liiu Nai’er while speaking.
“Get lost!”
Liiu Nai’er knocked away the young man’s hand, dodging away.
“Ouch, tsk tsk, haven’t seen you for so many years, still quite spicy, even more flavorful than Mrs.
Liiu!”
The young man was startled, then let out a strange laugh, his gaze continuously roaming over Liiu Nai’er’s figure, praising nonstop.
Lin Tian recognized this young man in front of him; his na was Wang Ba, four or five years his senior.
As a child, he was the village bully, and many people secretly called him a jerk.
When they were kids, this guy used to bully Lin Tian a lot, with Lin Tian frequently becoming his scapegoat.
Besides Wang Ba, there were two other people that Lin Tian recognized.
One was nad Wang Shenghong, nickna Little Shitou.
The other was nad Huang Feiyang, nickna Er Gouzi.
These two were Wang Ba’s lackeys and notorious for their domineering bullying, and they also beat and scolded Lin Tian countless tis during their childhood.
As for the others, Lin Tian found them all quite unfamiliar.
At this point, Wang Ba did not persist further, but rather looked at Lin Tian with a smirk and jeered: “Muuu Lengzi, so grand, going to town to study, and even brought back such a beauty.
Is she your classmate or a distant cousin?
If you say girlfriend, that’s absolutely impossible.
No woman would ever fall for a dumb nut like you!”
“Beauty, co have a drink with ?
Since it’s so lively here, you probably haven’t experienced this before, right?”
By then, a tall young man standing beside Wang Ba, his eyes shining, had been drifting over Xu Tangge constantly, and at this mont, he couldn’t help but speak up, “Beauty, co on!”
Saying so, he already stretched out his hand.
Fortunately, Xu Tangge dodged quickly and did not let the man grab her.
“You’d better keep your paws to yourself, or if you touch her, I’ll make you use a different hand to pick up chopsticks in your next life!”
Lin Tian gave the young man a cold look and ignored Wang Ba’s words, instead turning to look at the two young n who had been causing mischief in the n’s restroom, and said, “The ones who just pranked them, it must have been you two.
Apologize nicely now, and I’ll let you off.
Otherwise, there might not be a Water Ghost, but I’ll throw you into a cesspit and turn you two into shit ghosts!”
