Chapter 30: Going through Xu Weishan’s mories
“What’s the point if I can see but never speak...”
Grandmother ng gradually stood up and walked over to the cabinet to take out an old fashioned porcelain bowl. She placed it in front of . “There is a way to communicate with ghosts....I can help you. But beyond a doubt, this thod has a risk factor. I urge you to think it clearly beforehand.”
“What type of thod....?” I was totally driven by my curiosity.
“I can allow the ghost to enter your body. Once you are both using the sa body, she will know whatever you’re thinking and you will know whatever she’s thinking. This is called exchanging consciousness.”
“Then I’ll know about her life?”
“Your thoughts will be interconnected. It’s sort of like an internal exchange. But I cannot guarantee what you’ll find out is the truth. If the ghost decides to lie to you, everything you’ll know will be a lie.”
I roughly understood Grandmother ng’s words as I turned around to shoot a glance at the Xu Weishan ghost that was standing outside. She had stretched her neck in as she anxiously waited for .
“I thought spirits that can enter the bodies were made up in movies!” I was hesitant; unsure of whether I should do it.
Grandmother ng coldly chuckled, “Most people believe ghosts are made up, but you can see them, right?”
Oh, that’s true.
“If I let her co inside , will there be any side effects? Would it be like the movies....where in the end, it isn’t ? Would my spirit be replaced?”
“That’s why you need a professional like myself to guide you so that you can prevent ghosts with bad intentions from harming you.”
“So, does this an you promise to help ?” I gave Grandmother ng a coquettish gaze.
“If I don’t help you, who else can help you?” Suddenly, Grandmother ng took out a kitchen knife from her drawer and turned to . “If you want my help, then let’s quit the chit chat and start. Later, I have so personal matters to deal with. So let’s get this done quickly!”
“What? Now? So sudden? I’m not ready yet....” I began to recoil my body; mainly because the kitchen knife looked too frightening in her hand. It looked like the type of knife that people used to chop up bones. I wonder what she was going to use it for? Is it because she wants to kill ?
Seeing how I was backing away, Grandmother ng shook her head and forcefully ca over to grab my hand as she raised the kitchen knife and slit my forefinger. Fresh blood instantly gushed out.
I stared at the blood coming out of my finger and yelped, “You! My hand! Blood! Blood! It’s bleeding!”
Grandmother ng disregarded my yelling and dragged back to the table. She used the bowl to catch the continuous blood that was flowing from my finger. After a few monts later, she flung so gauze and told to wrap my finger myself.
“You didn’t disinfect the knife, right?” I sorrowfully held onto my forefinger as I glared at Grandmother ng. At the sa ti, I didn’t want to make it too obvious. So, I used the gauze to tie a simple knot around my injury as I sobbed, “So painful...”
“My ti is very precious. Let’s settle your matters now!” Grandmother ng didn’t feel the slightest pity for . She pointed at the multi-coloured bed and said, “Go and lay there.”
Was this actually going to work? Would there be any problems? Deep down, I was beginning to have a lot of doubts.
But since I had already entered a pirate’s boat, it was too late to get off.
I lay on the bed and Grandmother ng placed an eye mask on . First, I heard the tick tock sounds of a tir. Then, everything around began to turn very blurry.
By the ti I opened my eyes again, Kevin was standing in front of .
You....
I wanted to speak, but I couldn’t. I wasn’t even able to control my movents.
Kevin was smiling. What does he want from ? How co he’s getting so close? Huh? Eh? His whole face was on mines! He was kissing ? How co I don’t feel anything?
Could this be the exchange of thoughts? I’m in Xu Weishan’s mory?
I kept trying to get my body to move, and the scenes before my eyes kept changing. I was quite certain that everything I was seeing was from Xu Weishan’s past.
She was taking to see her past life.
There didn’t seem to be any noticeable differences between the old Xu Weishan and Kevin and the new Xu Weishan and Kevin. They looked like the typical boyfriend girlfriend relationship. They road around the park, watch movies, hug, kiss....all their past monts were flashing in front of my eyes. I was able to relive their experiences once more.
They were so in love. Couldn’t Kevin feel that his girlfriend was a different person? He had never questioned the current Xu Weishan?
While these thoughts were running through my mind, there was a letter that had appeared in front of “”. The content was as follows:
Please go to the National Art Gallery alone. I have sothing important to inform you.
When I arrived at the National Art Gallery, the fake Xu Weishan was there. She was Xu Weishan’s twin sister.
Next, it was the cliché sister we-have-finally-t mont. However, as far as I know, in Xu Weishan’s mories, she had never told anyone about her twin sister’s existence. If she had, perhaps the future tragedy could have been avoided.
From then on, Xu Weishan’s life revolved around her younger sister and boyfriend. Aside from going on dates with her boyfriend, she would occasionally et her younger sister and give her so pocket money.
Based on what the fake Xu Weishan was wearing, she was probably not living very well.
“Elder sister, didn’t I tell you not to tell anyone about my existence? Who do you want to et?” The fake Xu Weishan said to “”.
“You’ll know when you see him.” “I” smiled at the fake Xu Weishan and led her to the corner of a coffee shop. I pointed at Kevin, who was sitting by the window. “That is my boyfriend, Kevin. To , you two are the most important people in my life. After giving a lot of consideration, I want to introduce you guys.”
“Didn’t I say not to let people know about ? Why are you....”
“I haven’t told him yet. I’m seeking for your opinion right now.”
“I don’t want to et him.” Then, the fake Xu Weishan shoved a bit and said, “Go focus on your date. Don’t think about introducing us.”
She shoved “” out and Kevin happened to see, so he waved. Since he waved at “”, I had no choice but to walk towards him by myself.
“How are you feeling today? It looks like there’s a lot on your mind.” Kevin asked .
“Nothing. What are you reading?” “I” switched the topic as my eyes floated towards the fake Xu Weishan. She was still watching us from afar.
In my opinion, at the ti, the fake Xu Weishan’s eyes were already kind of unstable. But perhaps in “my” eyes, she was just curious.
The weather was great on this lovely weekend afternoon. A handso boy and a beautiful girl was facing each other in a romantic coffee shop. Their happy interactions would have been perfect if there wasn’t an extra pair of restless eyes at the corner.
From then on, whenever “I” ntioned Kevin, there would be so type of unclear emotions lingering in the fake Xu Weishan’s eyes. I wonder if the real Xu Weishan was stupid. Why would she keep ntioning Kevin to her younger sister?
On a blistering hot sumr day, while the Sun was hanging right in the sky without any clouds blocking, I received a text ssage:
Elder sister, today at 3pm, et t at the outskirts of the car factory. Just us two. I have sothing very important to tell you.
Don’t go!
I scread from within. What a suspicious and ticulous place! Only a fool would go!
But regardless of how loud I shrieked, the body still moved on its own.
Xu Weishan made the biggest mistake in her life. She was already at the abandoned car factory.
“Elder sister.” The fake Xu Weishan suddenly appeared and scared “”. After I carefully gazed at her, I noticed the fake Xu Weishan had bruises on her face.
“Elder sister, this ti you must help .”
Without saying anything further, she directly got down on her knees and pleaded, “I honestly have no other choice but to co to you, elder sister. I won’t be able to live on.”
