A Guest In A Ghost House - Chapter 206 The Axe

After eating a bowl of noodles on the street, Wu Jian and I went home to sleep. As for his work, hum, I guessed he had completely forgotten it.

When I woke up in the evening, I was going to find Old Mrs. Li, but I could never find her, so I had to go to ask Yan’er. She thought about it for a long time and told me a word, alive dead people.

The soul was sealed in the body for various reasons and then he thought that he was still alive and just lived with people. However, the body would still rot because in fact he was dead, and the soul would be suffering in the process. Finally, most of them would turn into other ghosts.

Then I suddenly felt cold in my heart and thought it must be a horrible experience to watch own body die slowly.

What Yan’er told was really similar to what I had seen and I also guessed that maybe Chen Long’s situation was caused by this point. There was an accident during his expedition, and he died finally. However, then, for no reason, his soul didn’t leave, and he thought he still was alive, so he went back to school and continued to study. This also explained where the strange smell of rotten on his body came from.

Then I asked her how this situation should be solved, but she just gave me a very perfunctory answer, that was I just needed to make him believe that he was dead.

It seemed that what she said made sense, but I was still at a loss. How could I make a person who had been dead believe that he was really dead?

I thought about it for a long time but still couldn’t come up with an idea. Then I cleverly gave this task to Wu Jian, because I was the guy who just came back to have a rest after experiencing such a horrible thing. Besides, I was responsible for the mental disease curing.

It was rare for me to do duty job in the ghost building, working as a waiter. Then I just shamelessly followed a group of ghosts, who worked hard every day, to have a barbecue and went home to have a comfortable sleep.

Over the past few days, since I never received a single phone call from Wu Jian, I guessed that he had solved this problem. As for him, it was easy for him to solve this thing. What he only needed to be to shot Chen Long directly, and then I didn’t believe that Chen Long would think he was still alive.

After working carefully for a period, I received the latest letter, whose envelop didn’t change. I directly tore it up and found there still were three photos.

The first one, a woman was standing in front of the Ferris Wheel, raising her hands and the sunshine shone on her face through the Ferris Wheel.

The third one, blurry, still blurry.

Holding the picture, my hand shook slightly. This group of photos was quite mild in the photos I received, but the problem was that I know the woman in the photo.

I picked up the first photo, then flipped it over and over and observed it very carefully. I was sure that I knew this woman, but I couldn’t remember who she was and where I had seen her.

Mom saw me holding the photo and began to concern me. It just said some perfunctory words to her, then went back to the room alone and sat in a chair, slowly thinking about it. However, until my mom told me to go out, I still couldn’t remember.

The next thing even made me put these photos aside, because mom had told me that Xue’er was sick.

My mom and I had been paying close attention to Xue’er ever since she became a target in the photo. I didn’t know why we just found she had a high fever of 40 degrees.

I, my mom and witch Yan immediately sent Xue’er to the hospital. It had been more than an hour since all the thing had been finished. She was infusion and her body temperature had dropped a lot, too.

I and mom finally could get relieved. Then mom was here with Xue’er and I went back to the ghost building to get some clothes for her. After all, she sweated a lot after infusion and her clothes was already wet. Besides, witch Yan was also here with them, so I didn’t worry about what’s going to happen to them.

I went back and went to the hospital again. When I arrived back to the ward with her clothes, I found Xue’er had fallen asleep and thought there should be no problem with her. However, what I didn’t expected was that her sick this time made her discharge from hospital after lying in the hospital for 7 or 8 days.

I and my mom were terribly exhausted. When we got the news that Xue’er could discharge from the hospital, I really wanted to buy several boxes of fireworks and celebrated it.

Mom and witch Yan took Xue’er to leave first and after finished paying, I also slowly went out of the hospital. Hospital would never worry about its business because there were crowed with people. Even in such a small place, like my hometown, the business was very good.

“Excuse me, please.” A pregnant woman who was holding a child nodded and smiled at me. Because a bed was placed on the one side of the hospital’s passage, the aisle naturally became narrow a lot.

With a friendly smile, I leaned to one side and got out of the way, only to catch sight of the fire box on the wall. Through the glass, I could see there were not only fire hydrants and pipes, but also a bright axe.

Shit, it had been seven or eight days. I finally remembered the photos I received last time. Now, it was too late for me to recall who the woman in the photo was, because I really didn’t know how much time I would spend to to remember that woman. Hence, I came up with a easy way.

I went back to the ghost building, took a life photo of that woman and sent it to Wu Jian. Then, when I was editing the information to let him help me find that woman, Wu Jian’s message came, with only a short sentence.

“When do you take a photo of your sister-in-law? Hi, man. What do you want to do?”

Wu Jian also sent a threatening emoji at the end of the discourse. In fact, he was joking but I really didn’t want to laugh at all, because I had already remembered who the woman in the photo was.

That was Wu Jian’s girlfriend: Ni Min.

I don’t want to send another message and then made a phone call to him, but when the phone rang two times, it was hung up by him. When I was planning to redial again, Wu Jian’s message came again.

“I am in the meeting.”

I hurriedly replied, it’s urgent. Answer the phone right now.

In less than 10 seconds, I continued to call him. This time, he didn’t hang up but also didn’t answer it, and until the phone ring was almost over, he answered the phone and quietly expressed his dissatisfaction, “What’s the matter? I am in the meeting?”

“Where us your girlfriend now?” I asked urgently.

Wu Jian was stunned for a moment and I repeated it again. In fact, it was no wonder that would be stunned, because we hardly ever talked about his girlfriend, except for a limited number of conversations with him. Besides, because of the ghost, we all deliberately avoid Ni Min.

Wu Jian’s became much more serious and said, “Today, her company has organized a fire drill. What’s going on?”
