Spirit In Dark Night - C51
“I don’t want anything to happen? It’s because I have no other choice right now, so I can only do this. ”
His words were like a tongue twister, leaving me a little dazed.
Since what happened was unavoidable, even if I wanted to escape, I couldn’t do it. I’ve already experienced it countless times before.
“Alright, since you said so, then I want to see exactly how stubborn you are.”
After I said this, I somehow mustered up the courage to suddenly throw the fish tank towards the ground on a whim.
I’ve always imagined a scene where the tank fell to the ground and smashed into pieces. And then the fish, also, died because of the loss of water.
I couldn’t help but smile as I thought to myself, ‘Aren’t you capable?’
Just when I was imagining the scene, I heard the goldfish’s voice, which sounded like a ghost, “Do you think you can kill me just like that? “You are wrong, I will not die if I don’t achieve my goal for appearing here.”
I was dumbfounded. I didn’t expect that I would be tortured to such an extent by a fish.
I ran out of the room as if I had seen a ghost.
However, I suddenly realized that I was holding onto something tightly. When I looked carefully, it turned out to be that piece of paper.
I forgot to look at this when I was fighting with the goldfish.
At this point, I couldn’t care less, thinking that maybe this note could find the answer I wanted.
The words on the paper seemed to want to be pretty, and it was easy to tell that it was written by a girl.
It was written on the slip of paper.
Goldfish is my gift to you, but this gift is a bit special, because after you see it, you will discover an unexpected harvest, and it will remind you of something you once forgot, then things will be very important to you.
I hope you and goldfish have a good exchange, it will bring you a different surprise.
The contents of the note were not much, just a few lines.
Nothing I want, nothing of value.
However, I felt that there was a pair of eyes secretly observing my every move. Or rather, she understood me very well, even more than I understood myself.
The thought that I might have been watched made me uncomfortable.
I whirled around, but there was nothing behind me.
Am I overthinking it?
But my hunch was strong.
I was just thinking of going somewhere else to get rid of my depression. However, I didn’t expect that when we were turning a corner, I would suddenly spot from the corner of my eyes that there was actually someone following behind me.
Although I was shocked, I didn’t dare to reveal any flaws on the surface. If I showed it, I would alert the enemy.
Thus, I tried my best to maintain my previous state. I turned around and slowly walked forward.
I walked carefully. As I walked, I was thinking of a countermeasure.
As long as I know who the person behind me is, then it’s very likely that they know the truth, right? At the very least, it should be related to the goldfish. There should be no doubt about it.
My hand suddenly trembled and the paper slip fell onto the ground. Thus, a plan formed in my mind. I pretended to pick it up and sneaked a peek at it when I squatted down. I didn’t expect to see the face of the person following behind me.
I was really surprised in my heart, I didn’t expect it to be her!
But I just couldn’t understand why she would do this to me.
There was no enmity between us, and there was no reason for her to do these things to me.
When I found out it was her, I was in a terrible mood.
I walked forward numbly and aimlessly. Unknowingly, I had reached the entrance of the villa.
Only then did I come to my senses. Looking at the tightly shut door of the villa, I suddenly had the urge to leave.
It was only because my head was burning with passion that I actually went over and tried to open the villa’s door.
However, while doing all of this, I didn’t expect that the villa’s door would actually be opened by me.
When I saw the door open, I was dumbfounded.
This was something that I never dared to think about because Tathagata had always told me that no one was allowed to leave. Therefore, the villa’s door would always be tightly shut, unable to leave even if it wanted to.
But why is the door not locked and why is it opened so easily by me?
I began to hesitate. Should I go or not?
Now that the opportunity is right in front of me, do I really have to leave?
I looked around and saw that no one had seen where I was.
Thus, I rushed out in a hurry.
All I could think about was getting out of this terrible place, but I didn’t think about the consequences.
After I left, I quickly ran in a certain direction.
After I left, a figure flashed out. Looking at the spot where I disappeared, his eyes were filled with laughter.
“It has finally begun. Looks like this matter will become more interesting.”
After running for a good while, I was finally exhausted and sat on the floor.
I panted heavily, as though still in a state of shock.
Did I really escape?
But where am I going now?
I realized then that I had nowhere else to go.
My home is gone.
His family was gone as well.
Then I am alone now.
A sudden sense of desolation washed over me, and I began to realize that I had nowhere else to go.
Just at this moment, the village’s Aunt Li passed by me. I hastily stood up and walked over, saying, “Aunt Li, do you still remember me?”
But after I asked, the Aunt Li acted as if I was nothing but air, and didn’t pay attention to me at all.
My heart thumps. I just want to confirm if she can see me because before, it seems like no one else could see me.
I was still unresigned and continued to ask, “Aunt Li, I’m Mei Ruxue, you really can’t see me?”
Aunt Li walked quickly, as if she was a non-existent person.
Seeing this, my heart finally died. It seemed that this was sufficient proof that I was someone that no one else could see. In other words, I was just a ghost.
I felt even more desolated, and began to cry.
Just as I was crying excitedly, I heard someone speak to me, “Miss, why are you crying so much?”
I felt a surge of ecstasy. So someone could see me?
So maybe I’m not a ghost?
I hastily raised my head to look at the person who spoke. However, when I saw who it was, I was startled.
This person was a man, and a Daoist, right?
He was dressed differently. His hair was casually tied up on his head and he held a fan in his hand. Yes, it was a fan.
Moreover, this was not all. His clothes were also tattered, and seemed to have a lot of holes fixed in them.
From time to time, his body would emit a terrible stench. I don’t know how long it’s been since I’ve had a bath.
Seeing my amazement, he spoke again, “Don’t look at me like that, little girl. Do you know that you are about to face a disaster?”
I was immediately stunned when I heard this. It was already a surprise for this Taoist to be able to see me, and it was also quite a surprise that he was able to say such words now.
“How do you know?”
After I said this, I immediately regretted it. Wasn’t this equivalent to admitting it? Why am I so straightforward? Logically speaking, I should have asked him what he meant. Let’s see what he can say now. He admitted it all himself.
He smiled and said, “Miss, what’s written on your face?”
“What?” Are there words on my face? ” I hastily touched my face, as if I really thought there were some words on it.
He shook his head and said with some pity, “Lady, you are really a real person. You can believe a casual joke from a stranger like me, not to mention someone with ulterior motives.”
I began to feel confused. Why did I feel that there was something hidden behind his words?
“Can’t you be more direct? You said it already, I am a true person, so naturally, I do not have any schemes. ”
He closed his eyes, thought for a moment, and said, “Miss, you are now framed, and are in the midst of many bizarre and complicated events. You are not in a good situation right now, and it is definitely not something you can handle.”
Hearing him say this, I began to believe him in my heart, because what he said was the same as what had happened to me, so I had to believe him.
“So what do you mean I should do?”
Seeing my eagerness, he waved his hand and said, “Since this matter has already begun, it is impossible for us to stop here. So, you must finish your journey.”
“Finished? Then what will happen to me? Also, I want to ask you, am I a human or a ghost? ”
I don’t know why I trust a Daoist I just met so much, and would ask such a question from the beginning, but my subconscious told me that he shouldn’t be a bad person and wouldn’t harm me.
I don’t know why I thought this way, but I felt that even though he was dirty, he gave me an inexplicable sense of security.
Seeing me ask that, he was stunned, but still said, “Girl, look, how do you want me to say hello? This is the first time we have met, and you can believe me like this. ”
I became a little impatient. “You didn’t answer any of my questions. If you want to say it, then say it. If you don’t want to say it, then forget it. Don’t waste my time.”
I’m really upset.
He then said seriously, “To be honest, I can see you, but you are not human.”
When I heard that, I felt cold all over. So I’m really a ghost?
“But you’re not a ghost.”
I was even more surprised. It wasn’t a human or a ghost, could it be a transvestite?
I was simply stunned by my own imagination. To be able to come up with such a unique answer, I was simply mesmerized by myself.
