, Two Ghosts Haunting
Seeing this scene, I immediately averted my gaze and was somewhat enlightened. Obviously, the baby and the woman were Chen Ermei and her child.
I shook my head helplessly, not getting angry at Wang Ying's sarcasm, but rather feeling a bit sorry for her. I didn't bother and just walked away.
To my surprise, Wang Ying was unwilling to let it go: "Hey, are you mute? I'm talking to you, can't you hear?"
With my back to Wang Ying, I finally said, "You better take care of yourself first. You're nearly dead, yet you still have the mood to shout and scream here."
This can also be considered a kind reminder, although Wang Ying is usually arrogant and overbearing, she is not worthy of death. However, although my uncle's task is to guard the town, I really don't want to help Wang Ying. Unless she asks me.
This is a bit difficult because she always dominates on campus, relying on the fact that her family has some money, as if everyone is at her beck and call. How could she ask for help?
After saying this, I didn't linger, and quickly left. Wang Ying's shouting came from behind, but I didn't pay any attention, and went straight back to the dormitory.
Compared to the quiet corners of the campus, the dormitory is indeed a bit noisier, but still quite quiet. Because there are only two of us in the dormitory, me and a fat guy. It's not that we are special, our dormitory originally had four people, the other two were the sons of a teacher and a wealthy businessman, with connections and money; they found ways to leave the dormitory, leaving us poor and powerless ones pushed to live on campus.
As soon as I entered the dormitory, I saw the chubby guy with a cheerful face. This guy wasn't just fat but also a complete joke. Apart from being fat, his other major characteristic is sleeping. He can sleep standing up, sitting down, in the classroom, in the toilet, and he can even sleep on the school's podium.
Once, this guy fell asleep on the school's podium. It was during break time, and the whole school was watching him do the exercises from below. The headmaster was so angry that he finally brought a basin of cold water to wake him up.
However, it must be said that these characteristics of his can also bring joy to people.
Seeing the chubby guy, I greeted him. Unexpectedly, he came straight to me and started chattering about his business.
"Du Mu, I feel like there's something wrong with my family's graveyard, why don't you take a look for me?"
There are not many people at school who know about my Taoist identity, and Chubby is one of them. After all, living with him, many things cannot be hidden. And not long after entering the school, this guy encountered a ghost, and I solved it for him, so it's normal for him to know my identity.
Since knowing my Taoist identity, this guy has been suspicious and behaves like a master. Hearing what he said, I couldn't help but glare at him: "Is that just your intuition again?"
"No." Chubby shook his head like a rattle: "There's really a problem. Recently, a lot of new graves have been buried on the mountain of our family's graveyard, but I feel like the soil on those new graves seems to have been tampered with. Could it be that the bodies inside climbed out?"
"New grave?" Hearing these two words, I furrowed my brows slightly. These two words are very sensitive, because new graves are indeed prone to trouble. First, the body inside is fresh and prone to decomposition, and second, a fresh corpse can attract other things.
However, I still felt that Pang Dun was being overly anxious, so I casually replied, "Alright, alright, I'll show you another day."
With that, I ignored Pang Dun and got onto my own bed. I opened my backpack and my gaze focused on the box Uncle gave me, which was labeled "Five Ghosts Technique."
Honestly, I really wanted to open the box and see what was inside. I was also curious about what disaster Uncle was referring to. Could it be a huge flood like what happened in Duan Family Village?
I didn't dwell on it because some things can't be imagined out of thin air. Besides, regardless of any calamities, life has to go on. I can't let myself be scared to death before the calamity even strikes, can I?
With that in mind, I simply put the box into my suitcase. I didn't plan on touching it unless absolutely necessary in the future.
After I put away the box, I lay down on the bed and didn't wake up until Pang Dun called me for evening self-study. I groggily glanced out the window to see that it was already dark, then I checked the time on my phone. To my surprise, there was a text message from an unknown number.
I wasn't planning on reading it, but my curiosity got the best of me and I opened it. Inside were just two sentences: "Duan Mu, if you are a man, come out."
Seeing this message, I was puzzled, not understanding who I had a feud with. But by carefully looking at the time the message was sent and the tone of the message, I immediately guessed who it was. Wasn't this just the way Wang Ying speaks?
Looking at the time, everything suddenly made sense. The message was sent after 7 o'clock, when the sun had set and the night had fallen. The time when the Yang energy gradually weakened and the Yin energy became stronger. So, it was also the time when ghosts and monsters would become active.
Given the situation, it seemed that Wang Ying had already encountered some trouble. But thinking about it, this woman was really stubborn. Clearly she needed my help, yet she used such a tone? I felt a bit helpless and casually replied, "Oh? I am a man, but why should I come out? Do you need my help?"
After replying to the message, I got out of bed, ready to go for evening self-study with Pang Dun. But at that moment, my phone suddenly rang, and it was actually a call from Wang Ying. I looked at the screen and answered the call somewhat helplessly.
As soon as the call connected, I heard Wang Ying's voice, "Duan Mu, are you going to come out or not?"
Her tone was really unpleasant, making me feel repulsed. I replied, "Haven't I already said, what reason do I have to come out for no reason?"
Wang Ying immediately became a bit annoyed, "If you don't come out, you won't be able to stay in this school, do you believe me?"
Hearing this, I couldn't help but laugh, "Alright, as you wish."
I didn't expect that with just that, Wang Ying suddenly softened, "Duan Mu, just tell me what you want in order to come out? I promise, no matter what it is, I will fulfill your request. If it's about money, my family has plenty; if it's about studying, I can help you, my family has connections and can get you into a good university in the future."
At this moment, Wang Ying had completely lost her previous arrogance, but I decisively replied, "Sorry, I don’t need any of that."
"Or," Wang Ying said with difficulty, "I know you're interested in me, right? You've been single for a long time, right? As long as you come out, anything you want is fine."
"Oh?" I was taken aback by her words and couldn't help but ask, "What's the situation? Didn't you usually say I'm a toad? What do you mean by saying this?"
Wang Ying immediately said, "As long as you come out, you can do whatever you want to me."
"Anything?" I asked thoughtfully.
Wang Ying answered decisively, "Yes, I know what you men need most. As long as you come out, I can satisfy you."
At that moment, Wang Ying's arrogance had completely disappeared, and there was even a hint of pleading. It seemed that she was really scared.
Upon hearing this, I finally replied, "Alright, sure, but you better not regret it, okay?"
Seeing this scene, I immediately averted my gaze and was somewhat enlightened. Obviously, the baby and the woman were Chen Ermei and her child.
I shook my head helplessly, not getting angry at Wang Ying's sarcasm, but rather feeling a bit sorry for her. I didn't bother and just walked away.
