Tap-tap-tap—
Footsteps floated through the air, light and ethereal.
In the darkness, a vague figure could be seen, dressed in a plain white cheongsam.
This was...
Ni Yang!
Zheng Xianjing turned to look at the spirit bed, only to see that the corpse that had been there was now gone.
Thud! Thud!
Her heart pounded violently against her ribcage, as if it could leap out at any moment.
Once, again, and yet again!
Zheng Xianjing shook Sun Wu hard, her voice trembling as she cried, "Dad, Dad! It’s Ni Yang! Ni Yang has come back!"
Sun Wu was also terribly frightened, but he kept reassuring himself, "Hallucination! Hallucination! This must be a hallucination!"
As the figure drew closer, the faces of Zheng Lingling and Doctor Jiang paled.
She had come back.
Ni Yang had really come back.
Ni Yang had come back for revenge...
Zheng Suyu sat on the ground, watching Ni Yang approach step by step, crying out, "Yangyang, is that you? Have you come back?"
"It is I." Her voice was as faint as ever, but within that faintness, there was a bizarre sense of emptiness, as if coming from the abyss of hell, chilling to the core.
"Iloneliness of the road to the underworld is too much to bear alone, I’ve come to take you with me, to walk together..."
"I don’t want to die! I don’t want to die!" Zheng Xianjing couldn’t bear to look directly at Ni Yang and collapsed on the floor, curling up into a ball.
"No, it wasn’t me who killed you. If anyone should go, it should be this madwoman alone. This has nothing to do with us!" Zheng Lingling’s teeth chattered.
Ni Yang slowly turned her face, mechanical-like.
