Becoming a Fierce Ghost, I Turned into the Shadow Behind the Heroine Chapter 33 : Chapter 33

Chapter 33. What Normal Person Likes a Female Ghost?

That night, when Lu Liangting regained consciousness in Room 506, the female ghost had already appeared.

Fortunately, during the ti he had been inside the ghost’s mories, he had done sothing for her. Because of that, the female ghost chose to devour the old landlord instead of him.

After coming out, he imdiately began searching for Zhao Mingyue.

He searched the entire fifth floor but could not find her, so he went down to the fourth floor. However, just as he arrived there, the ghost Zhang Lin attached to him warned him that sothing had happened on the third floor.

When he rushed to the third floor, the first thing he saw was Xia Han lying on the ground without any signs of life.

Xia Han had died there.

No one knew who the killer was.

The strange thing was that there were no wounds on her body, no fatal injuries at all. The forensic examiner’s preliminary judgnt was sudden cardiac death.

But Lu Liangting knew that Xia Han had been in excellent health.

It could not possibly have been sudden death.

Xia Han was his cousin, after all. There was no way he could watch her die there and continue with the mission as if nothing had happened.

That was why he had reported the incident to the police.

“What happened after that night, during the ti when I was unconscious?”

In a deserted corner on the third floor, Lu Liangting asked with a serious expression.

He truly wanted to know what had happened afterward.

How had the old landlord entered?

Why had the female ghost gone mad?

Where had Zhao Mingyue gone?

And why had that girl ghost appeared in the female ghost’s mories to save him?

Saving him once or twice might have been a coincidence.

But saving him several tis in a row could not possibly be accidental.

Lu Liangting desperately wanted to know the truth.

Being stared at like this made Zhao Mingyue feel sowhat embarrassed.

After all, no matter how it was explained, she had abandoned Lu Liangting and ran away alone, leaving him in Room 506 with the old landlord to face the ghost.

What Bai Yu had said was correct—Lu Liangting would not be in danger. If he were truly in danger, he would not be standing here now.

But Zhao Mingyue obviously could not say that she had abandoned him because Bai Yu told her he would be fine.

“At that ti… when you went inside, you suddenly fainted. I tried calling you many tis, but you would not wake up. So I went into that room to investigate by myself.”

“I saw the female ghost in the bathroom. She discovered , so I had to run.”

“I had just run outside when the door suddenly shut itself. No matter what I did, I could not open it.”

“I had no choice. There were so many ghosts on the fourth and fifth floors, so I ran ho to hide and never ca out again.”

Zhao Mingyue’s eyes were clear.

There was not the slightest trace of lying in her expression.

Lu Liangting nodded and fell into deep thought.

“Do you know where that ghost is now? The girl in the white dress.”

“N-no. I do not know.”

“Think about it carefully. Since she appeared there, sothing must have happened to her in that building. Because of the female ghost on the fifth floor, she has been unable to leave. Every second she remains there, she is suffering…”

Lu Liangting’s tone beca urgent.

Then he paused.

“Sorry. I got a little emotional. I was just thinking that she saved my life, so I should also do sothing for her.”

Lu Liangting had completed many missions before.

He had rarely been so deeply impressed by a ghost.

Of course, that was because no ghost had ever saved him repeatedly during a mission.

Lu Liangting’s appearance often made people overlook certain things about him.

But at this mont, the exhaustion and haggard look on his face were obvious. He clearly had not rested much during the past two days.

It was normal for him to beco sowhat emotional.

“I really do not know. I have not investigated that building, and I have not seen her again.”

“Alright then. When I have ti in the future, I will go back there and take a look. Perhaps I will et her again.”

“Oh, right, Mingyue. The female ghost on the fifth floor has not been destroyed. As long as she remains, ghosts will continue to appear in that building. You are living there alone, so be careful. In a few days, I will help you find another place to live.”

“N-no need. I will be fine living there. We just need to find a way to eliminate that ghost, right?”

With Bai Yu around, Zhao Mingyue naturally felt no fear. She waved her hands repeatedly.

In Zhao Mingyue’s arms, Miss Rabbit stared at Lu Liangting with crimson eyes, its head tilted like a lifeless object.

Bai Yu had heard every word of their conversation.

Everything until now had been normal and within her expectations.

Lu Liangting would definitely ask about what had happened that night.

What she had not expected was that Lu Liangting still had not forgotten her.

Not only had he not forgotten—he seed even more obsessed than before.

His persistence was almost frightening.

It even made Bai Yu begin to question his motives.

What normal person becos obsessed with a ghost?

His own cousin had died in Sunshine Apartnts, yet instead of focusing on finding the murderer, he was worrying about her.

It was absurd.

Judging from Lu Liangting’s tone, he would not stop until he found her.

He even intended to return to the haunted building again.

Bai Yu wondered whether Lu Liangting was saying these things deliberately—perhaps he had noticed sothing and was testing Zhao Mingyue.

But after thinking about it, that possibility seed extrely low.

She simply could not understand why.

To the point that Bai Yu even ca up with a more ridiculous idea.

Could it be that this boy had fallen for her?

If that were true, then his taste must be extrely strange.

What normal person would fall in love with a ghost?

Especially a ghost he had only t a few tis.

Bai Yu dismissed the idea.

It was simply too absurd.

At that mont, Zhao Mingyue suddenly placed her hand on Bai Yu’s head and began walking quickly back toward the classroom.

“Hey, little sister Bai Yu. Lu Liangting is looking for you. It seems you really left a deep impression on him. What should we do? Wait for him to co?”

“If he dares to co, I will kill him.”

“Oh my, how cruel. He clearly wants to see you so badly.”

“……”

“Alright, alright. I will stop. Do not be angry.”

Patting Bai Yu’s head, Zhao Mingyue reentered the classroom.

Li Nan had already returned and was sitting at his seat with his head lowered, doing sothing unknown.

Zhao Mingyue glanced at him.

Then she sat down and took a piece of chocolate from the box inside her desk and handed it to him.

“You should try one too. They are really delicious.”

Li Nan turned around and accepted the chocolate.

He even tried to brush his finger across Zhao Mingyue’s palm while taking it.

But Zhao Mingyue had already withdrawn her hand.

“Mingyue, after school today, you must not leave. I have sothing important to talk to you about.”

“No.”

Zhao Mingyue rejected him without hesitation.

“I…”

Li Nan was speechless again.

Anger began rising in his heart.

Lu Liangting could talk to her, so why could he not?

“Why?”

“Because I need to go to work.”

“I will give you money. I will pay your wages for today. I will give you ten tis your salary!”

“I do not want it. I prefer earning money myself.”

“You must stay today, otherwise…”

Li Nan clenched his teeth.

After holding it in for a long ti, he finally said:

“Otherwise we cannot remain friends!”
