Chapter 193: Chapter 193 Return Without Accomplishnt_1
This is a high-end office building located in the city center, with a large parking lot for employees to use. The streetlights around it never go out.
Ning Hao parked his car at the parking lot in front of the building. He was about to get out when he recalled sothing and pulled out a pair of sunglasses kept in the car. He turned to Qin Sisi and asked, "Will I still be able to see the ghosts if I put on these sunglasses?"
Qin Sisi shook her head, saying, "No, it only has a twenty-four-hour effect."
Qin Sisi took the sunglasses from Ning Hao and dropped them casually in front of Ye You. Ye You blinked, and two faint purple beams shot out from his eyes, landing on the lens of the glasses.
Qin Sisi handed the sunglasses back to Ning Hao, saying, "There, you can use them now."
Ning Hao stared at Qin Sisi in confusion. Ye You stood behind him and moved too quickly for Ning Hao to notice that he had tampered with the sunglasses. He only watched Qin Sisi slide the sunglasses down her side.
Qin Sisi repeated. "They’re ready. Put them on."
Snapping out of his thoughts, Ning Hao took the sunglasses and put them on.
Then, Ning Hao got out of the car and stood in the middle of the parking lot, looking around nervously.
Qin Sisi hesitated, then followed suit and left the car to stand by Ning Hao’s side.
After scanning the area to no avail, Ning Hao sighed in utter despair.
Qin Sisi comforted him, "Don’t worry too much, ghosts have a certain activity range and won’t stay still in a fixed place."
Ning Hao nodded, looking at Qin Sisi gratefully, "Thank you, Sisi."
Qin Sisi sidestepped Ning Hao’s aningful gaze, smiling and saying, "No need to be polite, we’re friends."
Ning Hao’s look darkened slightly, but remained silent.
Wanting to change the subject, Qin Sisi asked, "What happened to Xiao Yue six years ago?"
Ning Hao’s expression altered a tiny bit. Even after six years, the cruel scene was still vivid in his heart, and the pain it caused was unbearable each ti he recalled it.
He was silent for a long ti before slowly explaining, "This building was under construction at the ti. Xiao Yue was returning from school when a book she had was blown away by the wind. She ran after it, but a cent board suddenly fell from the sky and hit her directly on the head."
Qin Sisi felt a pang of sorrow in her heart. How tragic! Such a vibrant life was extinguished under a cent board. The scene at the ti must have been unbearable to look at.
Ning Hao looked up at the sky, swallowed back his tears, and continued, "I was in college at the ti. When I heard the news, I was dazed. A few classmates and a legal advisor in my departnt accompanied
to handle the aftermath. The construction company compensated later, but what use was that? Xiao Yue couldn’t co back."
Qin Sisi looked at Ning Hao in a state of despair. She wanted to comfort him, reaching out to pat his back but withdrew her hand before touching him.
Ning Hao’s intention was clear and unmistakable, and any closeness might have given him hope.
Sotis, being cold-hearted to soone who likes you but you don’t feel the sa can actually be a form of kindness.
So, Qin Sisi rely stood silently by Ning Hao’s side without saying a word, secretly hoping that Xiao Yue’s ghost was safe, and would appear soon.
Qin Sisi held Ye You as they sat in the sizable parking lot, surrounded by dim streetlights and twinkling stars in the sky.
In the quiet night, a faint white shadow flashed at the edge of the parking lot, it was silent and disappeared swiftly.
Ning Hao didn’t notice it naturally. In her rush to follow Ning Hao earlier, Qin Sisi had not put on the black coat that Ye You gave her, so she did not feel the change in the temperature either due to the cold on her body.
Only Ye You’s purple eyes flashed as he let out a "ow" and quickly jumped out of Qin Sisi’s embrace, running towards where the white shadow had passed.
"Xiao Hei!"
Reacting to his movent, Qin Sisi knew that Ye You wouldn’t run off without reason. She imdiately stood up and followed Ye You’s direction.
Seeing this, Ning Hao hastily got up and followed too.
However, when Qin Sisi rounded a car, she saw Ye You quietly sitting there, his head slightly raised, looking towards the towering building not far away.
"Xiao Hei, what’s wrong?" Qin Sisi crouched down and asked Ye You.
Ye You replied in a deep voice, "There’s a ghost, a female one."
Qin Sisi looked in the direction Ye You was facing, but only saw darkness.
"Didn’t you catch up to her?" Qin Sisi asked in surprise.
Ye You replied, "She is very fast and disappeared in an instant. She must have gone into that building."
Qin Sisi looked up at the towering structure and could only see a vague silhouette under the twinkling stars.
"Should we go in and check?" Qin Sisi asked Ye You.
Ye You shook his head lightly, "The ghost is invisible and can go through walls. The building is complex and we’re unfamiliar with it. Even if we go in, it would be hard to find her. Besides, there’s not much ti left."
Qin Sisi checked her phone. It was indeed almost four in the morning—when Yang energy would start to revitalize, and the ghosts would gradually vanish.
After so thought, she said, "Then, let’s not force it. We’ll co back tomorrow."
Ye You dropped his head in regret, having underestimated his opponent. He hadn’t expected a common ghost to be so fast.
Ning Hao stood nearby, listening to the conversation between Qin Sisi and the black cat, but he couldn’t understand it.
Of course, he could not understand Ye You’s speech and could only hear the occasional "ow".
Qin Sisi stood up and turned to Ning Hao, saying, "Xiao Hei said that a female ghost had just passed by here."
Ning Hao’s heart raced as he asked anxiously, "Was it Xiao Yue?"
Qin Sisi shook her head, saying, "We can’t be sure."
Ning Hao glanced in Ye You’s direction and said anxiously, "Then we should look around the area."
Qin Sisi explained: "The ghost was very fast. If she does not want to see us, we probably won’t be able to find her."
"So what should we do?" Ning Hao looked anxious and nervous, as if a ray of hope had just flashed in front of his eyes, yet he couldn’t grasp it.
After so thought, Qin Sisisaid to Ning Hao, "At four in the morning when the Yang energy revives, ghosts will hide. It’s almost that ti now, so I suggest we co back tomorrow."
"Tomorrow? But..." Ning Hao could not finish his sentence and seed very unwilling.
Qin Sisi comforted him, "If she really is Xiao Yue, then she must have already seen you. If she knows you’re here waiting for her, she will definitely appear again."
Ning Hao hesitated for a mont. Without any better solution, he reluctantly agreed with Qin Sisi’s suggestion. The two of them left the parking lot and returned to their residential area.
