Chapter 362 - 364: Escape from the Grave
The commotion in the woods continued for a long time, but there was no sign of the escaped Ming Yue.
The ghosts had no choice but to head back.
"Dear! Where in the world did that damn girl go!"
The old woman’s voice was vicious, filled with indignation.
"We’ve practically turned these woods upside down, and there’s still no sign of her! Could she have really gotten away?"
Mo An fell into thought. The possibility was low, but it couldn’t be ruled out.
’After all, the edge of the woods connects to a small road. Perhaps someone happened to be driving by, and she managed to flag them down?’
’But could someone so frail really run that fast?’
Mo An concealed the worry in his eyes. They had already searched every inch of the woods, turning it completely upside down.
But with morning fast approaching, they still hadn’t found a single trace of her.
In the end, they had no choice but to return. After all, these ghosts couldn’t withstand the sun.
He and the female ghost returned to the grave. When she saw the collapsed entrance, the old woman’s eyes filled with hatred.
"That wretched girl dared to mess up my grave like this! When I find her, I’ll skin her alive!"
Her tone was full of resentment, but she was also worried. ’If she really did escape, what would we do?’
’What then?’
’Finding another suitable target isn’t easy.’
"Dear, what are we going to do?"
The old woman’s eyes were full of anger as she turned to Mo An.
Ming Yue was jolted awake the moment they returned, even though Su Nian had already warned her this would happen.
Her nerves instantly tensed. She could hear the two of them outside cursing her, but thankfully, they hadn’t found her hiding spot.
She heard them piling dirt, and then they both climbed into the coffin.
Ming Yue took a deep breath and then let it out slowly.
She tried her best to keep her breathing steady, so those two *things* couldn’t hear her.
"It’s alright, don’t worry. So she ran away. I’ll just find you another one, someone even prettier!"
"Sigh... I suppose that’s our only option now. It’s a pity, though. She was an only child, and from a wealthy family."
"Let it go. We missed our chance, and that’s that."
Ming Yue listened as the two of them brazenly discussed her life.
’So one of the reasons they targeted me was because I’m an only child from a good family. It would have been convenient for them to take everything later.’
The thought made Ming Yue feel sick to her stomach. It made her recall just how gentle that man had acted.
She remembered what he was like when they were dating, and she was filled with rage and revulsion.
’Who would have ever guessed that the one whispering all those sweet nothings wasn’t a young man, but a decrepit old geezer?’
Until a glimmer of light began to appear on the horizon.
Ming Yue sensed the coffin above her go still. Ghosts feared the light, so the two things inside had fallen into a deep slumber.
Ming Yue lay cautiously beneath the coffin. The two Evil Ghosts were now lying right above her.
Separated by only a single wooden plank, she struggled to control her breathing.
The two things inside the coffin seemed to be sleeping soundly, completely unaware of her presence.
This was thanks to the method Su Nian had taught her for concealing her presence.
Many viewers in the livestream chat had fallen asleep after watching for a while.
When they woke up the next day, they were surprised to find the stream still running.
It was only thanks to Ming Yue’s power bank and her phone’s large battery capacity that she’d been able to stream for so long.
Meanwhile, Su Nian, having gotten through the night, had freshened up and arrived at the Daoist Temple.
At the same time, she was keeping an eye on Ming Yue’s ongoing livestream.
Su Nian squinted at the sky. The sun had risen and was now hanging in the air.
The morning sun was already quite powerful.
Su Nian checked her watch. It was already nine o’clock.
As for Ming Yue, who hadn’t slept a wink, she was still in a state of high alert after the previous day’s terror, her nerves stretched taut.
In the dimness of the grave, she couldn’t see outside and didn’t dare turn on her phone screen, so she had no idea what time it was.
She was too close to the ghosts—so close she barely dared to breathe. She was even afraid they might hear her own heartbeat.
But thankfully, she had made it through the night safely.
Su Nian’s voice came through, "Alright, you can leave now. Just crawl out through the same hole you used yesterday."
"The sun is up now. If you’re fast enough, they won’t be able to do a thing to you."
Hearing this, Ming Yue took a deep breath. Then, in a single burst of energy, she started clawing furiously at the dirt.
Fortunately, the opening was already in bad shape from her digging yesterday.
The two ghosts had tried to patch it up, but with her frantic digging, a large chunk of earth collapsed, and Ming Yue seized the opportunity to scramble out.
Staring at the long-awaited sunlight, she finally felt a flicker of what it was like to be alive.
She glanced back at the grave. The two ghosts inside seemed to have sensed something was wrong and were now pushing the coffin lid aside.
They tried to see what was happening, but the moment they poked their heads out, the sunlight seared them, forcing them back.
Ming Yue, in turn, spun around and fled.
Mo An wanted to give chase, but the sun was simply too strong. At this time of day, they were always indoors. Even though he possessed a living body, as a ghost, he still found the sunlight deeply uncomfortable.
In that instant, Mo An understood exactly where Ming Yue had been hiding all night.
He gritted his teeth, his face twisting into an ugly scowl. ’To think she was so close the whole time, hiding right under the coffin.’
