Rebirth: Ghost Exorciser-Chapter 1822 - Old Liang Family Residence, Unlucky Qi Hao

1822 Old Liang Family Residence, Unlucky Qi Hao
Everyone quickly wrote down a name. Director Huang counted the votes, and in the end, Qi Hao got three votes, Du Zhong got two, Lu Wenjing got one, and Chi Shuyan got one.

As soon as these results were announced, everyone else except for Director Huang was immediately shocked, especially Qi Hao. When he heard that he had the most votes, his vision turned black and he was stupefied for a long time. When he reacted, he couldn’t calm down anymore. He collapsed and immediately cried out to his sister-in-law. “Sister-in-law!”

Apart from Qi Hao himself, Lu Ningwen, Fang Yu and Du Zhong were the most shocked. Obviously, the voting results were a surprise to them.

Chi Shuyan frowned hard at that moment and had a terrible expression on her face. She replied to Haozi, “Don’t cry!”

Qi Hao sniffed, looking especially aggrieved.

Chi Shuyan tapped a finger on the table and took in everyone’s expressions without batting an eyelid.

At that moment, someone spoke first. It was Song Yanru. Song Yanru got up with an anxious and concerned expression and said in shock, “How is that possible? How can it be Brother Qi?”

Lu Wenjing echoed, “How is that possible?”

Lu Ningwen and Fang Yu didn’t think much of it. They really couldn’t accept this outcome. They thought that Du Zhong would have the most votes.
After all, both of them had chosen him. As long as someone else voted for him, Du Zhong would be the one eliminated. Even if it wasn’t Du Zhong, however, it was unlikely for the person to be Brother Qi.

The two found this outcome very difficult to accept. “That’s right, how can it be Brother Qi?”

At that moment, Du Zhong saw that he was just one vote behind Qi Hao – he could have been the one in trouble tonight. Du Zhong hurriedly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He didn’t forget to comfort Qi Hao with the others, but he heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. Then, his gaze fell on Lu Wenjing, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. He then looked curiously at the others. When his gaze swept over Song Yanru, he paused for a moment, deep in thought.

After the end of the voting, Director Huang brought forward the six balls for the other six people to draw one each.

Each ball would contain either a clue for tomorrow night, or a blank piece of paper.

Hearing Director Huang’s words, everyone else except for Chi Shuyan felt their hearts tighten again. Their eyes burned fiercely as they stared fixedly at the six balls in the transparent jar with red eyes, as if they were looking at their last hope. They immediately forgot about the results of the voting.

After all, they weren’t the ones who would die tonight. Compared with that, the clues about tomorrow night were naturally more important.

Their eyes were filled with excitement and tension, and they curled their fists.

Director Huang continued, “It’s up to you whether you want to share your clue with the others or not, but I advise everyone to be vigilant. It’s best not to share your clue.

“Okay, just so that there’s no dispute, let’s start with the person who had the second most votes.”

When Director Huang said that, Du Zhong instantly got up. He didn’t expect his luck to be so good. He nervously went forward to draw a ball. It was probably because he was nervous, but cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He looked at the six balls and felt a little dizzy, afraid that he would draw a blank piece of paper.

Seeing Du Zhong standing motionlessly in front of him, Director Huang hurriedly urged him to pick a ball. Only then did Du Zhong hesitantly draw one. After that, he wasn’t in a hurry to open it.

After that, it was Lu Wenjing and Chi Shuyan’s turn to draw. Compared with Chi Shuyan’s casual behavior, Lu Wenjing was just as nervous as Du Zhong. She hesitated for a long time before she picked a ball.

Next were Lu Ningwen, Fang Yu and Song Yanru. Before Lu Ningwen and Fang Yu could get up, Song Yanru used her seniority to take priority. Only after she drew a ball did Lu Ningwen and Fang Yu do the same.

The two of them had a good relationship and didn’t quibble over the last two balls.

Except for Qi Hao, everyone else had picked a ball. Wary of each other, however, no one opened their ball in front of everyone else; they all planned to go back to their rooms first before they took a look.

Everyone had their guards up.

Before everyone dispersed and left, Director Huang’s good-natured demeanor suddenly changed as he smiled strangely at Qi Hao. “Congratulations, Little Brother Qi!”

Qi Hao’s body jerked. He didn’t know if he was thinking too much, but he felt that the other party’s smile was a little sinister, and his heart inexplicably felt cold.

His heart shook and he hurriedly looked for his sister-in-law. Chi Shuyan had just finished talking to the others. Seeing his absent-minded and stupefied appearance, she patted his shoulder and said, “Don’t worry, Sister-in-law won’t let anything happen to you.”

Qi Hao had suffered a huge blow tonight and was in a low mood. If his sister-in-law wasn’t around, he would have collapsed mentally long ago. Thinking of his sister-in-law’s abilities, Qi Hao felt that he would definitely be fine tonight. Yes, he had come out of the burial mounds alive back then, which meant that he had good luck. He would definitely be fine. Thinking of how he was sharing a room with his sister-in-law, Qi Hao heaved a sigh of relief.

Qi Hao had never been so glad as now that he hadn’t switched rooms with Film Empress Song back then. Otherwise, he would be scared to death to stay on his own now.

Qi Hao was very realistic; compared with his idol, of course, his life was more important.

However, he didn’t regret writing his own name down. After all, his principle was not to do anything to harm others.

“Sister-in-law, why don’t you hold my hand? I’m still a little scared.” Qi Hao was half-joking. Only when he joked did the tension in his heart ease a little. However, when he left the front yard, he was still a little traumatized by the darkness outside. Still, he was a person who cared a lot about his dignity, so it wasn’t good for him to directly admit that he was afraid. Before his sister-in-law could speak, he changed the subject. “Sister-in-law, I’m joking with you. Hehe, how can I be so cowardly?”

Hearing Haozi’s words, Chi Shuyan didn’t say anything. She grabbed a corner of his sleeve and pulled him away. “Come, let’s talk inside the room!”
