Chapter 415: Chapter 315: The Back (Part 2)

Unless the strangeness appeared in a flash and Xiang Er immediately eliminated the opponent, it now seemed that the creature was obviously a very cunning kind.

Not long after the living room door was closed, everyone inside fell silent, Yan Junze stopped asking questions and just sipped his tea, quietly waiting.

Seeing his demeanor, no one else spoke up.

The three members of the Si Family sat together, Huahua and Yan Junze sat next to each other.

A few moments later, Yan Junze said, “Like this, you three separate and don’t sit together. Go about whatever you need to do now, you don’t have to keep sitting. I’ll be observing you.”

“Right, this way the strangeness might not appear,” Si Dehua also said, then pointed at the freshly washed fruit on the coffee table, “Master, have some fruit. Guilan, go check how much fresh food we have in the kitchen, get ready, we’ll have the master stay for dinner.”

...

“I’m going to wash my face,” Si Nannan also stood up and reached out her hand to Huahua, “Huahua, come with me.”

“Alright!” Huahua quickly went forward, linking arms with her good friend as they entered the bathroom.

Si Dehua and Rong Guilan looked at each other and gave a wry smile.

Yan Junze, seeing how natural Huahua acted in this scene, couldn’t help but smile.

Everyone busied themselves, Yan Junze occasionally stood up to walk around, checking if Rong Guilan in the kitchen showed any abnormalities, and then looking behind Si Dehua to see if anything unusual was there.

The sounds of water and the conversation between Si Nannan and Huahua came from the bathroom, and about twenty minutes later, the bathroom door opened and the two girls, still arm-in-arm, walked out.

At that moment, Yan Junze, who had been alert to the surroundings, fixed his gaze behind the two girls and did not look away.

The two who had just walked into the living room were startled when they saw Yan Junze’s expression.

Yan Junze did not speak to Si Nannan but called out to Huahua, “Huahua, come here first.”

Si Nannan’s delicate body trembled, she clearly knew what Yan Junze had seen behind her, she stood still, not daring to move, her face full of fear, looking like she could cry at any moment.

Rong Guilan rushed out of the kitchen, and Si Dehua also left the sofa, standing firm next to Yan Junze, and all eyes fell on what was behind Si Nannan.

Behind her, at this moment, another Si Nannan was standing with her back to everyone, less than one meter away from the original.

Si Nannan was wearing a pink casual home outfit, and the “Si Nannan” behind her wore the same clothes, no longer the light purple pajamas she wore when she first appeared.

After Si Nannan stopped and didn’t move, the “Si Nannan” following behind her also stopped and stood still, not making a single sound.

Reflecting on the previous encounter, because she was afraid something might happen to her daughter, Rong Guilan was almost about to shout out, telling her daughter not to look behind and to hurry to her side.

Because the previous approach to dealing with this strangeness seemed to still be effective, as long as you don’t look behind you or look back, the strangeness following you seems to just follow the original and won’t engage in any other dangerous behaviors.

However, no one knew how long this following would last, so escaping from it as soon as possible was the best option.

Nevertheless, this time Yan Junze was not prepared to do that; if he didn’t try, he wouldn’t know how this shadowy strangeness managed to perform possession.

And what actions would follow after the possession.

“Nannan, take two steps forward,” Yan Junze said.

Si Nannan trembled all over and, under everyone’s gaze, she obediently walked two steps forward, standing in the living room.

At the same moment, the “Si Nannan” behind her also stepped back, maintaining a distance of less than one meter between them.

After pondering for a moment, Yan Junze then said, “Nannan, slowly turn around, take a look at what is behind you.”

“No…”

“That probably… isn’t safe.”

“Junze?”

Rong Guilan, Si Dehua, and Huahua all spoke out at once, clearly startled by Yan Junze’s suggestion.

Yan Junze raised his hand to silence the others, and continued, “Nannan, slowly turn around, slowly look behind you, don’t be nervous, I’m here.”

Yan Junze was somewhat curious about the mission prompt that mentioned, “Do you want to see the moment when this family is left with only a shadow?” If one was really possessed, how could there possibly be a moment when only the shadow remained?

He had to understand what the strangeness sought to achieve, by what means, and what the final effects would be.

Perhaps only then could he completely eliminate it. After all, this creature was very cunning; to have Xiang Er set up an ambush at home, one did not know how long it would take to catch it off guard and eliminate the strangeness when it appeared.

Si Nannan’s eyes, filled with terror, focused on her parents. Si Dehua was also looking at her, his expression anxious, but he did not speak out in opposition again.

Rong Guilan no longer showed any reaction.

Si Nannan nodded lightly, standing still, suppressing the overwhelming fear rising inside her and slowly turning her head backward.

At the same moment, the “Si Nannan” who had her back to everyone also began to turn her head slowly, moving at the same pace as the real person. However, the direction was the opposite; while the real Si Nannan turned to the left, the shadowy “Si Nannan” turned to the right.

Seeing this, everyone held their breath, aside from Yan Junze. They dared not even breathe heavily, their eyes intently fixed on the “Si Nannan” who was turning around.

At this moment, Si Nannan felt as though her neck was no longer her own, becoming stiff while she managed to turn it mechanically. She wanted to close her eyes so that it wouldn’t matter what she saw upon turning—but fear would not grip her.

Yet a voice from her subconscious told her not to close her eyes, that she must see what it was, must witness that entity. Driven by intense curiosity, she blinked but did not shut her eyes; instead, her eyes widened as she looked behind.

Just as Si Nannan completed her turn, the “Si Nannan” with her back to everyone fully turned her head as well.

What came into everyone’s view was a face identical to the original, including hairstyle and clothes. The only difference, perhaps, was the expression on this other face at this moment.

Si Nannan looked stunned, her expression horrified, as she stared directly at the “self” in front of her. Her gaze, as if fixed in place, could no longer be retracted.

The “Si Nannan” opposite her, however, had the corners of her mouth slightly lifted, a hint of a smirk on her face, as she looked back at the true Si Nannan with unblinking eyes and a rigid smile.

The two of them just stared at each other, motionless for the time being.

“Nannan?” Rong Guilan couldn’t help but call out.

The real Si Nannan, keeping her turned position, did not turn back. Instead, her body began to rotate in the direction of her head, slowly turning around.

At the same time, the eerie “Si Nannan” also began to turn, keeping her head still as her body faced everyone.

Seconds later, the two Si Nannans stood facing each other.

Yan Junze, witnessing this scene, touched his chin thoughtfully. He neither spoke nor immediately stepped forward.

“Daughter?!” Si Dehua sensed something was wrong and called out involuntarily.

“Nannan, answer me, turn back! Answer me!” Rong Guilan’s tone became frantic.

Huahua approached Yan Junze, looking at him anxiously, then at Si Nannan who was showing only her backside to everyone, but she said nothing.

Nannan remained with her back to everyone, giving no answer or reaction.

Just then, the “Si Nannan” with the uncanny smile suddenly stepped forward, joining the true Si Nannan on the same line.

Then she took another step forward, passing the true Si Nannan.

After passing her true self, the real Si Nannan showed no reaction, still facing away from everyone, motionless.

“Hehe.”

The “Si Nannan” who moved forward tilted her head, maintaining that odd smile, looked at everyone, and finally settled her gaze on Rong Guilan, speaking in a tone identical to the original.

“Mom… Mom.”

Rong Guilan and Si Dehua shuddered, this nightmarish scene rendering them speechless for a moment.

Realization dawned on Yan Junze upon seeing this.

It seemed one truly shouldn’t turn around, for once you do, the fake Si Nannan also turns and then… takes over the original’s place.

And from then on, the real daughter left to the Si family would be just the never-returning backside of Si Nannan.

“So it’s not an actual possession; this kind of attachment is more like looking for a replacement!”

Yan Junze muttered to himself, but then another thought suddenly arose, and he immediately looked at Si Dehua.

Since this strangeness sought a substitute, why provide two at once, and why appear simultaneously?

It seemed not just one strangeness was searching for a replacement; Yan Junze came to understand.
