Chapter 15: It's Not a Car Accident, It's Murder
The Soul Locking Mirror really worked! As if exhausted by the excitement I had just had, I sat down on the edge of the bed, and all three of us were now worn: what to do next?
"How's it going?" Xiao Ting broke the silence and asked.
I stared at the woman and shook my head blankly—what should have been a beautiful face, but unfortunately it lost its life, gray and stiff, and I didn't dare to look at it directly. Several times I wanted to close my eyes and not look at her, but now that only I could see her, I forced myself to adapt. And the blood that kept gushing out of her chest was dyed red and pure white, as if a blood-red stamen was blooming wantonly, bigger and bigger, more and more gorgeous...... Suddenly, her fingers seemed to move!
My stiff body subconsciously shrank back, and Xue Chen noticed my strangeness and glanced at the clock on the bedside table: "Ten minutes!" ”
I turned my head to look at Xue Chen with a look of surprise, and he asked me, "Did she move?" ”
I lowered my head and whispered, "It seems to be moving!" ”
"Look at her in the mirror!" Xiao Ting reminded. But Xue Chen didn't act, just looked at me, as if waiting for me to make a decision. I looked at the female ghost again, and her hands gradually lowered, and she looked at me with a sense of grief.
"Help me! Help me! "The shrill sound came to my ears again, reminiscent of the moment when the tires rubbed against the ground when they braked suddenly.
I hesitated for a moment and said, "She...... Let me help her! ”
"Calm down, listen to what she has to say!" Xue Chen encouraged me.
I looked at the woman and asked, "How can I help you?" ”
When she saw that I was finally willing to face her, she took a step forward with some excitement, but when she saw that I was resisting, she stopped again, and said sadly, "I died so unjustly......"
Injustice? I was a little puzzled: "You, you died in a car accident last night......"
"No, it's not! It's not like that......" She immediately interrupted me and said indignantly, "It wasn't an accident, it was him...... They killed me! ”
Kill?
I continued to complain, and Xiao Ting gasped: "Isn't that murder?" ”
I looked at her again and asked, "Who are they?" Why did you kill you? ”
The female ghost said sadly: "My name is Wang Man, I have been working in 'Huasheng', he came to the company a year ago, he was very considerate to me, and soon we were together......" She paused and raised her voice: "But I didn't expect him to be a liar, he is addicted to gambling, owes usury, approaches me, and gets along with other women!" ”
I relayed her words at the same time, and Xiao Ting heard this pair of angry angry questions: "He hurt you for your money?" ”
"No!" Wang Man looked remorseful and continued: "Earlier, he took me on a trip, proposed to me, and bought two insurances, and the beneficiary was the other party. I didn't know at the time that it was all his plan...... A few days ago, his attitude towards me suddenly changed, and I couldn't stand to go to him and bumped into him and the woman...... I...... I was stupid enough to think that he was just fascinated by the vixen for a while......"
"It's so cheap!" Xiao Ting heard my relay, but she reacted that Wang Man was a ghost, and hurriedly said, "That man is so cheap!" Really, the man who made a mistake, you still want to make excuses for him! ”
Wang Man smiled bitterly: "She's right, it's me who is cheap!" …… Yesterday my boss came to me and said that someone reported that I had received kickbacks from clients privately, and the payee's name was my fiancé...... I called him, but he didn't answer, and the more I thought about it, the more angry I became, so I went to look for him, but halfway he suddenly called me......"
"What did he say?" I asked unconsciously.
"The call came from the woman, and she said that they had actually been together for a long time and approached me for money...... I was driving, and my heart was very chaotic......" Wang Man suddenly became excited, his face was resentful, and he looked extremely scary, "...... She did it on purpose, and they had wanted me to have an accident for a long time...... It's murder...... I'm not reconciled! I'm not reconciled! ”
Looking at Wang Man like this, it seems that my anger against the scumbag has replaced my fear of ghosts. However, when this kind of thing happens, it can only be regarded as unlucky, not to mention that she is dead, and I can't do anything about it......
"But, you...... You're dead! I whispered.
"I'm dead, but they're still alive, it's not fair to spend the money I got from my death to be happy......" Wang Man showed a tired and painful look, "When I realized that I was dead, I thought about turning into a ghost and seeking justice for myself, and then I ......"
"What happened?" I looked at her nervously.
Wang Man looked confused: "I feel like I can't hold on, when I was about to disappear, you appeared, and then I was covered by something, and when I came out, I was already here......"
I wanted to continue to ask, but suddenly Wang Man disappeared again, and the room suddenly fell silent. For a long time, Xue Chen, who had not spoken, broke the silence and said, "It's getting dark, I'll go back first, and we'll go to the old king tomorrow." ”
Xiao Ting and I looked at him in disbelief--isn't it, in this case, he's a big man who wants to leave us first!?
Xue Chen understood our expressions and smiled gently: "Don't worry, I don't think she will harass you for the time being, I'll go back and report to the old lady!" With that, he walked to the door and turned around with a hint of embarrassment, "That ...... I'll find someone to fix it! ”
Looking at Xue Chen's departing figure, I suddenly wondered how he found here. This is Xiao Ting pulling my sleeve: "Everyone is far away!" …… Why don't you go to me tonight? ”
I looked at the brass bell that was placed on the bedside table, and a trace of despair spread, and I said timidly, "Isn't it the same everywhere?" ”
I wish I could have a place to hide, even if it's for the rest of my life. Xiao Ting stopped talking, and I chose to be silent, and the room fell silent again. After a while, the sky darkened, and the sound of each other's breathing in the room became clearer and clearer, Xiao Ting asked softly, "Don't you turn on the light?" ”
I smiled wryly, got up and walked to the door, fumbling for the switch, when a sound of footsteps could be heard in the distance—someone was going upstairs!
The vandalized gate was pushed open, and a young man in overalls asked, "Is it Miss Lin?" I'm here to fix the locks! ”
Xiao Ting got up and walked over, but before she could speak, the man looked at the door frame that had been kicked and shook his head: "This one has to be replaced!" ”
Xiao Ting thought about it for a while and proposed: "Master, you install two anti-theft bolts, it's getting dark, and you have to wait for tomorrow to change the door!" ”
While I was fixing the locks, I ordered two takeouts. After the lock repairer left, the atmosphere in the room became strange again, and Xiao Ting and I ate dinner quietly and no one spoke.
At night, sleepiness hit, and we lay on the single bed, unable to sleep for a long time. The white light illuminates the small room, which is not spacious, and it is on all night - who can sleep knowing that a ghost will appear in the room at any time?
