Let's give space a touch of Chinese horror!

Chapter 45 Chaos

Looking at her son's cold face, Tan Yajun seemed to see her husband in that instant.

She shrank her neck and muttered something under her breath, but at least she stopped saying things like "Jiang Yi is back" or "Jiang Yi is still alive."

Seeing that Tan Yajun had stopped making a fuss, Jiang Shu prepared to leave.

He had only just reached the door when he heard footsteps coming from the corridor.

"Ah, Dad..."

Jiang Shu saw the newcomer and greeted him respectfully, "Have all the guests left?"

"Hmm..." Jiang Lifeng responded expressionlessly, his voice devoid of any emotion: "How is your mother?"

"Mom..." Jiang Shu looked a little troubled, "After Mom woke up, she still insists that he saw Jiang Yi..."

Tan Yajun, who had heard the keywords on her bed in the bedroom, looked up. However, after she looked in the direction from which the sound came and saw who was standing in front of her son, her body moved before her mind could react.

Before Jiang Lifeng and Jiang Shu could react to what was happening, they heard a roar suddenly erupt from the bedroom, like a mother beast discovering her child had been stolen. The next second, a figure pounced on them from behind like a madman.

"Get out of here!"

"Get out of my way!"

"Mom—?" Jiang Shu turned his head in confusion, but before he could even see Tan Yajun rushing towards him, he was suddenly grabbed by the arm and pulled back hard.

Caught off guard, Jiang Shu had no time to steady himself and fell to the side, his knee slamming hard against the sharp edge of a decorative item.

"ah--!!!"

A sudden, excruciating pain in his knee caused Jiang Shu to let out a agonizing scream. He clutched his knee and collapsed to the ground, curling up in a ball.

Jiang Shu had never suffered such a severe injury since birth. His face turned deathly pale instantly, and cold sweat from the excruciating pain soaked his back. His ears were also ringing with pain.

He tried to call for help, but he was in so much pain that he couldn't utter a complete syllable; only broken gasps escaped his mouth.

However, the "culprit" who caused all this never looked back. In fact, she stood firmly at the door, preventing Jiang Lifeng, who wanted to check on Jiang Shu's condition, from entering.

"Tanya Jun, get out of my way!"

Jiang Lifeng looked at his son, who was lying on the ground trembling, his face full of impatience: "I don't have time to argue with you right now!"

Tan Yajun stood firmly in front of Jiang Lifeng, her eyes red as she glared at him fiercely: "Impossible!"

"I'm telling you, Jiang Yi! As long as I'm here, you won't be allowed to come in and hurt my son!"

Her arm, which was blocking the doorway, was still trembling uncontrollably, but she still warned fiercely, "I will absolutely not allow you to hurt Ashu!"

"Tan Ya-jun, look carefully at who I am!"

From the moment Jiang Lifeng heard Tan Yajun call him "Jiang Yi," his brows furrowed tightly. Now, seeing Tan Yajun still preventing him from seeing Jiang Shu's injuries, an inexplicable anger surged within him.

He simply reached out and was about to push Tan Yajun aside.

When Tan Yajun saw that "Jiang Yi" not only ignored her warnings but also tried to get past her and continue to hurt her son, she forgot all her fear and screamed shrilly before lunging at her.

Her fingers clawed fiercely at Jiang Lifeng's face, attacking him with a brute force that seemed to be determined to take him down with her, without any strategy or method.

Jiang Lifeng never expected that Tan Yajun would dare to attack him, so by the time he reacted, Tan Yajun's carefully manicured, sharp nails had already scraped hard across the skin of his cheek.

Jiang Lifeng touched the spot where he had been scratched, looking at the bloodstains on his fingertips with disbelief in his eyes: "Tan Yajun, are you crazy?!"

But Tanya Jun seemed not to hear her, and continued to roar like a wild beast as she pounced on him.

"Oh my god, Mom! What are you doing?!" Jiang Shuyue's exclamation suddenly came from not far away.

Jiang Shuyue, who finally came upstairs, originally intended to check if Tan Yajun had woken up. But when she arrived, she saw her mother, who should have been resting in bed, and her usually calm and composed father, fighting all the way from the bedroom door to the stairwell.

She didn't even have time to think about where her brother had gone or why Jiang Shu hadn't come to break up the fight; she just rushed over to try and separate the two of them.

But Jiang Shuyue's luck... seems to be not so good—

She had just grabbed her father's arm when Jiang Lifeng suddenly jerked backward to avoid Tan Yajun's fingers reaching for his neck.

Jiang Shuyue's strength was clearly no match for Jiang Lifeng's, and so, "Ah—!"

After a short scream, Jiang Shuyue, who had been thrown off balance, lost her footing as the heel of her high heel missed the edge of the step, and she fell backward.

Jiang Shuyue subconsciously reached out her hand, but only managed to grasp a few wisps of air.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

"Bang……"

"Thump!"

After the final muffled thud, everything fell silent.

"Aaaaaaahh ...

Drawn by the noise and finally snapping out of her struggle with "Jiang Yi," Tan Yajun turned around and saw her daughter lying motionless at the bottom of the stairs.

She glared fiercely at the culprit who had harmed Jiang Shuyue, as if she wanted to devour him alive: "How dare you... how dare you hurt my daughter!"

Her fingernails, teeth... every usable part of her body became her weapon in that instant. Tanya screamed shrilly, lunging forward with a death wish.

Her earring rolled to the ground...

A few seconds later, the earring suddenly disappeared.

Her necklace fell to the ground...

A few seconds later, the necklace suddenly disappeared.

……

Not far from the two struggling figures, Jiang Yi was leisurely... picking up scraps.

After putting Tan Yajun into a hallucination, Jiang Yi began "self-service shopping" in the Jiang family's old house.

She had already taken everything in the house that she liked; now the only things in the house that were still of any value were the items that the Jiang family members were wearing.

Thanks to the illusions she had created earlier still being effective, it was very easy for her to take advantage of the situation.

Just as Jiang Yi was contemplating whether she should stir things up again since she still had some time, she suddenly received a message from the distant system: "Host! Host, something terrible has happened!"

Jiang Yi wondered if it was because the system had absorbed too much energy, but she felt that the system's personality... seemed to be getting more and more lively.

"Host, come back quickly! I'm about to lose control of this place!"

Could it be that there's something wrong with her health?

Jiang Yi glanced at the two still fighting and waved her hand.

The black mist that had been shrouding Tan Yajun's eyes slowly dissipated, then split into four streams, which drifted into the brows of the four members of the Jiang family.

……

"Host, you're back!"

Just as the woman in crimson robes passed through the wall, the system's excited voice rang out.

Jiang Yi looked around the room.

She was still lying in bed, perfectly fine, and there were no signs of anyone else entering the room. She immediately glared at the system: "You'd better explain what's going on."

The system spoke rapidly: "Host, it's like this. Not long ago, I suddenly received a large amount of energy, and with this energy, one of my internal modules unlocked. However, after scanning the contents of this unlocked module, I felt I couldn't control it, so I had to call you back—ah! It's out!"

As the system finished speaking, a dirty little ball appeared out of thin air.

"Clatter..."

"Clatter..."

The little ball bounced a few times on the ground and rolled to the feet of the woman in crimson clothes who was floating.

A pair of small, bluish-gray hands picked up the ball: "Hehe... Sister, can you play with me?"
