Chapter Twenty-Eight: Meet the Author of the Novel
The girl in front of me kept babbling and asking, and the light in her eyes made me feel that she was still a child who had not grown up, how could she write such a story.
"I can't believe you really exist when I see you. I haven't slept all night since you told me about it yesterday, and I wondered if you really killed that baby last night, so I flew here early this morning. The excitement in her eyes turned to self-reproach.
The mention of that baby reminds me of the scene of the ghost killing him yesterday, and I still feel a little uncomfortable.
"Xiaoyi, can you tell me where the inspiration for your writing came from?" The ghost asked her straight to the point.
"Actually, how do you say that?" I watched her frowning and talking.
"It's okay, what do you say? If you have any questions about us, just ask. I patted my chest and assured her.
She glanced at the ghost with big eyes and cleared her throat: "Everything started with a courier, I don't know why this person found me, and I don't know that all this is really happening according to what I wrote." If I had changed the baby's fate yesterday, would the end of the story have changed? ”
"A courier?" I asked at the same time as the ghost.
Xiaoyi nodded and explained: "A month ago, I received a courier, and I couldn't find the person who sent the mail. She would give me information every once in a while and ask me to update the novel according to her ideas. I just put the story she told into words, I never changed anything, and if I had known it was true, I wouldn't have killed that baby. ”
She clenched her fists in reproach, as if she was the murderer in all this.
"Have you ever thought that if you leave a baby alive, you kill more people?" The ghost said to her mercilessly.
"Ling'er, she already blames herself, let's say a few words!" I tugged at the ghost's sleeve with my hand.
"Can I choose not to write?" Xiaoyi raised her head, stared at us with wide eyes and asked, "I don't want the words I write to become a butcher knife for killing." ”
"Xiaoyi, don't get excited, I don't know why you received the courier, but the story has already begun, there is no reason to stop halfway, let alone change the fate in the story at will." The spirit patted her hand for comfort.
"Even if you stop writing, it will still happen, because we exist." I looked at Xiaoyi with tears in her eyes.
"In other words, I have no choice but to keep writing?"
The ghost and I nodded at the same time.
"I really lost my memory, I know everything that happened before from your novels, and I'm grateful to you." I am grateful to the author of this novel from the bottom of my heart, but there is always a feeling that the express delivery in her mouth and her current performance are not real.
"Spirits really only have one year to live." Her words were like a ticking time bomb, and my head banged.
I've been searching for the truth, but I've ignored the fact that ghosts only have a one-year lifespan.
"Even if you make a deal with the resentful spirit, you won't necessarily die, but my brother can't learn the family secret from me."
I knew that the ghost didn't want me to worry, "Don't worry, I will always be with you this year, and I will definitely help you kill the evil spirit." ”
The ghost nodded with a smile, and Xiaoyi also looked at me with a relieved expression.
Ever since I entered Starbucks, I always felt that there was an exploratory gaze staring at me, I looked around and saw a girl about my age sitting next to us, her big eyes, high nose, cherry mouth, delicate facial features, really beautiful.
She was wearing a black and white gauze skirt, a black waist tie, which made her waist more slender, and the flowing flying sleeves added to the romantic temperament, and the strong color contrast of black and white made her attract everyone's attention in a high-profile manner, and she nodded at me at this time. My heart was pounding, I was a little embarrassed to stare at people for so long, and I quickly turned my head around.
"Brother, are you listening to me?" The spirit touched me with its arm.
"What did you say?" I peeked at the girl next to me, and she looked at me like she was watching a show.
"I'm saying, Xiaoyi, you've promised me to continue writing and help us find the origin of the express." The ghost said loudly into my ear.
"Poof" Xiao Yi on the other side laughed, "Are your brothers and sisters like this on weekdays?" Rest assured, I will try to find someone to send the courier. ”
The ghost nodded, "I'll trouble you, I will keep in touch with you often in the future, and now I will take you around the capital." ”
"No, I'll go back on the afternoon flight, and we'll see you again when we have the chance. If you have something to do, go first, I have a friend here for you. ”
"Okay, then let's go first, remember to inform us next time you come, my brother is single, as long as he is a beauty, he will not refuse." The ghost winked at Xiaoyi as he got up.
"What are you talking about?" I lowered my head shyly, and glanced at the girl at the next table by the way, she was very beautiful, I had seen a lot of beautiful women, she had a feeling of wanting people to get close.
"You two are really a couple of living treasures, we have a chance to meet next time."
Saying goodbye to Xiaoyi, the ghost pulled me out, and I reluctantly looked back at the girl at the next table, but bumped into the person opposite.
I feel that I have peach blossom luck today, and she is a beauty again, but her eyes are not happy, as if she can see through people's hearts at a glance, and make people want to escape. I hurriedly apologized and the ghost left.
"Look at the beauties who have hit people! You look so handsome, hurry up and find me a sister-in-law. The ghost looked at me with an eyebrow.
I don't like to look at beautiful women, I just think that girl will appear in my later life.
I didn't have the heart to argue anything with the ghosts, so I went to the subway with her, chatting about the supernatural along the way.
"What do we do next?"
"Wherever there is a supernatural, we will go."
"Don't go to work? With such a big expense, where can I get money? ”
The ghost took a bank card out of his wallet and handed it to me. "This card is done with your ID card, and the money in it will not be used up in this life, it is a family property, and you can rest assured that you can travel around the world with me." Although I can't tell you your family history when I deal with the wraiths, I can give you the information, and you can be self-taught! The ghost breathed a sigh of relief, it was clear that she was in a good mood right now.
"Is there really that much money in this card? Why don't you buy a car when you have money? "I will look at the ghost with suspicion.
"Wherever there is a supernatural I will appear there, so the idea of buying a car is not there for the time being, besides, if I buy a car, you see that I have so much money inexplicably, I think crookedly, I am thankful, the password of the card is your birthday." Looking at her aggrieved look, I want to laugh.
"Do you mean you're afraid that I'll treat you like a junior?"
"Forget it, I won't talk to you about non-nutritious topics. Brother, it's best not to expose the existence of the supernatural until the last resort, but sometimes even if you say it, many people won't take it seriously, and will only treat you as a madman. ”
I know what she said, and no one will accept it from the heart. After all, none of that is in line with science, but there are some phenomena that science can't explain.
