Last ti in the story, Su Bai beat off this ghost lady with his dagger, because he had killed multiple people with this dagger, which kind of made it a murder weapon like a butchers knife[1]. But this ti, his dagger was not around.
The ghost ladys jaw was clinging to Su Bais shoulder. He could clearly feel her weight, if there was any weight. She was so light, but she was actually there; this was an odd feeling, as if he was having different senses about the sa feeling. But there was one thing he knew for sure: she was real, and she was by his side.
At the sa ti, the ghost lady started to move her face. Gradually, her face ca close to Su Bais cheek; it looked so dubiously romantic, like the intimate action that all lovers would do. But no man in his right mind would like this scene, especially this companion.
Su Bai stayed calm; he had so water in his mouth, rinsed, then spit it out and left the washroom. After several big events, he had beco used to this, or he was now numb, as if he was just strolling idly in a courtyard.
Sitting on the bed, Su Bai took two tissues and scrubbed his face.
The television was just in front of Su Bai. Through its screen he saw that ghost lady coming to him again; she sat down right next to his back.
Su Bai felt sort of speechless.
Yes
speechless.
Due to his rich experience, Su Bai felt as if he was ntally immune to this kind of ghost. Besides, this ghost lady was scared away by the ferocious look on his dagger. Danger and supernatural factors would be enhanced in the story worlds, which could be told from the paper n. Therefore, this ghost lady was actually weaker in reality.
Such being the case, she was nothing to be afraid of.
There was a local show airing on TV, with the title saying Tough Girl Proposes to The Boy. In the show, a pretty good-looking girl with a large bunch of flowers kneeled down before a boy:
Wang Wei, happy birthday to you! I would like to offer myself as your birthday gift.
Of course, Su Bai wasnt focusing on the show.
Why are you following ? Su Bai asked.
The ghost lady stopped in astonishnt. First, there was confusion on her face, but then it was replaced by enlightennt or even surprise.
She pointed to a glass of water in front of Su Bai. He understood and pushed the glass over. Water splashed out.
Then, slowly the water began to move on the table. Words showed up:
You really can see .
Su Bai took out another bottle of mineral water, took off its cap and took a sip: Can we cut the crap?
Okay.
What do you want from ? Su Bai asked.
Vitality. I need that.
My vitality? Su Bai pointed to himself, Will I get ED after you have absorbed my vitality?
No, I wont need that much.
Then what can I get? To gain sothing, one must offer sothing first. Su Bai didnt mind doing business with ghosts, as long as he could gain enough from it.
I dont know what I can do for you. The ghost lady answered.
So I cant get anything? Su Bai smiled, Then we wont have any deal at all. You wouldnt have to talk with for so long if you could just ignore my objection and take my vitality, right?
Yes.
Actually, you can just choose soone else. That will be better for both you and . Im not a Celestial Master[2], and I wont get in your way.
Youre different. Your blood is different and your sll is different.
Im so honored. Su Bai was a little serious now, I dont know how to hit a ghost, but I assu if I spend so money in so Buddhist or Taoist temples, Ill find so real skillful monks or taoists to capture you.
Yes, you will.
The ghost lady was so tender, so honest, and so straightforward. She was so outspoken that Su Bai felt as if he had punched his fist into a heap of cotton.
You can think about it once again. Im a man with no principles. Give enough benefits, and Ill let you have so of my vitality.
Su Bai repeated his requirents.
The ghost lady sat on the bed flutteringly; she seed to be thinking hard.
While Su Bai took out his cell phone, entered the BBS of his school and started to search with the key words.
In fact, it was normal to have one or two students die in the school every year; quite a few died of diseases or other natural reasons, apart from those who intrigued excitent and attracted attention with suicides or murders or jumped from the top of a building. After all, it was a big school.
Soon, Su Bai found a post that interested him. It was a notice for missing person with a picture of a young girl.
In the picture, the girl looked pretty coly, like a Muse of the campus. The notice was posted by one of her roommates, saying that she had been missing for a whole month and neither her teachers nor her parents could reach out to her.
Su Bai checked the posted ti: it was three years ago.
Three years.
So this girl was not missing but dead, since she had beco a ghost. Besides, it could be told by the fact that she was still wandering in the school that
she probably died in the school because of so accident!
Su Bai felt a little sorry for Chu Zhao. Luckily, Su Bai was not a warm-hearted citizen trying to do the right thing, so he didnt bother to call Chu Zhao to report this case. Besides, he couldnt make any sense; could he just say that he reported because he had found the ghost of that dead girl who was missing? So he reported that the girl must have died in the school or nearby?
If Chu Zhao heard this from him, he would jump up and yell at him He had no sleep last night, and he would have to stay up tonight?
As for Chu Zhao, Su Bai would not praise him for his professional ethics and moral codes as a policeman. But fortunately, this ghost lady wasnt like other ghost ladies in classical operas, weeping her heart out begging for vengeance She just asked for so vitality.
Still working on it? Su Bai urged. He lit a cigarette but didnt smoke, only held it between his fingers and shook it a little.
Urged by Su Bai, the ghost lady seed to have suddenly thought of sothing. The water on the table imdiately turned into several words:
paper man, stuff, hidden.
Looking at these words, Su Bai narrowed his eyes at once.
Childe Hai had looked for Liu Hes stuff but didnt find anything; he thought Liu He was just controlling the paper n by his talents of communicating with paper n instead of being a taphysics follower.
However, the ghost lady seed to be indicating that
Liu He
had left sothing
in this very school!
