Chapter 72: Possession

Recently, Jiang Xianchuan felt an unusual atmosphere lingering in his heart, hard to shake off. For some reason, he keenly noticed that every time Ji Tiantian came to deliver documents to him, her gaze was always sinister, as if trying to see through him.

What made his hair stand on end even more was that this kind of gaze didn’t seem accidental, but rather a purposeful surveillance, as if Ji Tiantian was closely monitoring his every move, every word.

“Tiantian.” Jiang Xianchuan finally couldn’t help but call out.

“What’s wrong, handsome brother?” Ji Tiantian responded immediately upon hearing the voice, a sweet smile instantly blooming on her face. However, this seemingly innocent smile couldn’t dispel the discomfort in Jiang Xianchuan’s heart, but rather made him feel even more strange.

“You don’t need to deliver documents recently, I want to rest for a few days.” Jiang Xianchuan tried to make his tone appear calm and natural.

“Okay, I understand.” Ji Tiantian nodded obediently, then turned and left. Watching her receding back, the doubts in Jiang Xianchuan’s heart grew stronger.

After Ji Tiantian left, Jiang Xianchuan quickly called Lin Pianyue.

“Sister Pianyue, did you do something strange to Ji Tiantian’s mind that day?” Jiang Xianchuan asked straight to the point, his eyes full of suspicion.

Hearing this, Lin Pianyue couldn’t help but raise her head in surprise, staring at Jiang Xianchuan with wide eyes, and said, “No, you asked me to take her to take a bath that day, and she kept crying, and I didn’t even know how to comfort her!”

Hearing these words, Jiang Xianchuan was stunned on the spot as if struck by lightning.

For a long time, he had firmly believed that Ji Tiantian was able to get out of the painful shadow of losing her mother so quickly entirely due to Lin Pianyue’s patient guidance and comfort that day, but now it seemed that things were far more complicated than he had imagined…

If this person isn’t Ji Tiantian, then who could it be? Jiang Xianchuan frowned, constantly thinking about various possibilities in his mind, but he couldn’t find any clues.

He decided that he couldn’t sit still and wait for death, so he immediately called Bai Su and other partners, and instructed with a serious expression: “You must all pay close attention to all of Ji Tiantian’s recent actions, and don’t let go of any clues!”

At this time, in the vegetable garden on the other side, the sun shone on the tender green vegetable leaves, sparkling with dots of light. Ji Tiantian had a smiling face, and her voice was as clear and sweet as a silver bell: “Sister Shi Yi, I’m here to help you water the vegetables.” Shi Yi, who was busy, raised her head and responded gently, “Okay, the watering can is over there, but be careful not to wet your clothes.” Hearing this, Ji Tiantian nodded obediently, then quickly walked to the place where the watering can was placed, picked up the watering can, and turned to walk towards the seedlings.

Shi Yi lowered her head and continued to concentrate on studying the planting method of the new seeds in her hand, completely immersed in it. She didn’t notice that Ji Tiantian was quietly approaching her.

Ji Tiantian casually watered the vegetables, while imperceptibly reaching into her sleeve and slowly pulling out a sharp dagger. Just as she was about to raise the dagger to stab Shi Yi, a figure rushed over like lightning. It turned out that Qi Xiaoyao had arrived in time.

Qi Xiaoyao snorted coldly: “You’re really stupid!” Before he finished speaking, he quickly used his ability. Cold air overflowed, and in the blink of an eye, he froze Ji Tiantian in place, unable to move.

Then, he turned to Shi Yi and said, “Go and call the camp leader.” Shi Yi woke up as if from a dream, and hurriedly responded, “Okay, I’ll go right away.”

Before long, Jiang Xianchuan rushed over. When he saw the frozen Ji Tiantian, a hint of doubt and anger flashed in his eyes. He sternly questioned, “Ji Tiantian, why did you do such a thing?” However, facing Jiang Xianchuan’s questioning, Ji Tiantian was not only fearless, but her mouth slightly curved upwards, revealing a strange smile. She coldly said, “Hmph, you humans are really vigilant!”

“Sure enough, you’re not Ji Tiantian.” Jiang Xianchuan said. Ji Tiantian raised the corner of her mouth, revealing an indifferent expression, and said casually, “Of course I’m not.” Jiang Xianchuan raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes as sharp as knives, staring closely at the mysterious woman in front of him, secretly speculating about her true identity in his heart.

Jiang Xianchuan’s eyes flickered, and he asked thoughtfully, “Then you must be a zombie with the ability to possess other people’s bodies, right?” Facing Jiang Xianchuan’s questioning, Ji Tiantian chose to remain silent. She just laughed wildly like a madman, her laughter echoing in the air, making people shudder.

“Hahahaha, handsome brother, you’re more fun than I thought! But this game will end here for now, we’ll meet again soon.” Before she finished speaking, Ji Tiantian suddenly fainted on the ground without warning, as if all her strength had been drained away.

After a while, when Ji Tiantian woke up leisurely, she seemed to have completely changed. The original cold and crazy look disappeared, replaced by a face full of sadness and helplessness.

At this time, she had once again become the weak little girl who had just lost her mother and was immersed in great pain, unable to extricate herself.

Seeing this, Jiang Xianchuan quickly ordered Lin Pianyue and Shi Yi to take good care of Ji Tiantian to ensure that nothing unexpected would happen to her again.

After arranging all of this, Jiang Xianchuan walked aside by himself and began to calm down and carefully think about the strange events he had experienced today.

He couldn’t figure out why this zombie would possess Ji Tiantian. If its purpose was to kill people to silence them, then it would have had plenty of opportunities to attack from the beginning, but why did it have to wait until today to show up? Also, why did it want to attack Shi Yi? A series of questions swirled in Jiang Xianchuan’s mind like a tangled mess, making him feel extremely confused. What worried him even more was that if this zombie possessed other partners in the camp again, the consequences would be unimaginable…

“Ah, what kind of things are happening every day! It’s not easy to have such a short period of stable days.” Jiang Xianchuan stood by the window, his face full of sorrow as he looked at the lush but somewhat bleak scenery outside the window, muttering to himself.

Just then, a faint sound of footsteps came. It turned out that Li Lingyu had brought in a steaming dinner. He carefully placed the lunch box on the table, then quickly walked behind Jiang Xianchuan and gently wrapped his arms around him.

“What’s wrong? You look so worried, did you run into something annoying?” Li Lingyu asked gently.

Jiang Xianchuan turned around, his brows furrowed as he replied, “I’ve been wondering what to do if that terrible zombie possesses other partners in our camp again?”

Hearing this, Li Lingyu was slightly stunned, then fell into deep thought. After a while, his eyes lit up and he said, “Why don’t we do this, let’s set a code that only people in the camp know. Once we find someone acting strangely, as long as they can’t match the code, then they are likely to be possessed by a zombie.”

However, Jiang Xianchuan didn’t seem too optimistic. He shook his head worriedly: “But what if that zombie also has the ability to inherit the memories of the possessed? In that case, even if we set a code, I’m afraid it won’t help.”

This possibility made Li Lingyu also feel troubled. The two looked at each other, and for a moment, neither of them could think of a better solution.

In the end, Jiang Xianchuan broke the silence: “Forget it, let’s do as you said for now, set a code first, as for the other problems, we’ll slowly find a way to solve them.”
