"Don't you live on the eighth floor? I'll help you get back. ”

As she spoke, Shen Qi took another step forward, almost leaning on Shanshan.

"Ahh Sansa couldn't take it anymore and stumbled backwards with a scream. As he ran, he shouted, "Help!" ”

The light seemed to brighten up in front of her, and she saw a small door at the end of the hallway.

The door was unlocked, and she pushed it open.

Outside the door was a bright and beautiful world, with green grass and fragrant birds, and Shanshan was stunned.

"What a beautiful world." Shen Qi's voice came not far behind Shanshan.

Shanshan's heart trembled, and she really wanted to escape into this beautiful world all at once.

How is this possible? How could there be such a place here?

Shanshan rubbed her eyes, at this time, she had slowly returned to normal thinking, and when she remembered Master Zhao's words, her heart was slightly stable.

Seeing Shanshan standing there still, Shen Qi said again: "Actually, I didn't know that there was such a beautiful world, this

Thank you so much. I really regret it, why didn't I come here earlier, there is no struggle for power in the world, and we are fighting each other, how good it is, who will be nostalgic for that cold human world here. ”

Shen Qi's voice was soft and beautiful, and Shanshan was really a little intoxicated, yes, how good it would be to have such a world.

"Let's go check it out."

Yes, it doesn't hurt to take a look, Master Zhao's words may not all be true. Sansa is really going to move forward.

No, if it's an illusion, then what would be outside this door?

It's the top floor!

There are also beautiful things in the world, there is a job I like to engage in, and there is Jin Haoran's sincere love for myself, even if the world is beautiful, I should enjoy the beauty of the world.

Sansa shook her head, sobering herself up, sobering up a little more. She made up her mind, grabbed the doorknob with one hand, reached into her pocket with the other, reached for the phone, and pressed the redial button. She knew who she was going to call last.

Shanshan took out her phone and said calmly, "You go to the top floor right away." ”

"What are you doing? Who are you talking to? Shen Qi's voice was no longer soft.

"I want more people to come and see your world." Shanshan said lightly.

"Good! I will come again. Shen Qi said viciously.

The light in front of Sansa grew fainter and fammer, and at the same time, there was a rush of footsteps behind her. The sound grew farther and farther away, and gradually faded away.

Master Zhao is right, it's all an illusion. Sansa thought.

She felt as if she had matured a lot all at once, and today, with the strength of a little woman, she actually defeated the illusion!

Everything around her had returned to normal, and she could see exactly what was in front of her.

She turned around and walked slowly back down the hallway, which was much brighter by this time.

Before I got to the elevator, I ran into the driver running up the stairs.

"Is there something wrong?" He gasped slightly.

"Why don't you take the elevator?" Shanshan asked.

"The elevator is only on the tenth floor, and I ran up to these two floors."

"Really?" Sansa thought for a moment, then shook her head again. Walked over to the elevator and pressed the button a few times.

Sure enough, the elevator went up to the tenth floor and stopped.

It seems that the hallucinations began before she got on the elevator.

"When you came up, did you see anyone going down?" Shanshan asked.

"No, there are no guests on these two floors, how can there be anyone?"

Back on the real eighth floor, Master Zhao had already returned, and when he saw Shanshan, he just smiled and didn't say anything. Shanshan knew that he was waiting for Jin Haoran to come back, so she didn't ask again.

After eating at noon and taking a short rest, Jin Haoran came back.

Somehow, when Shanshan saw Jin Haoran, her eyes turned red, and she stepped forward and hugged Jin Haoran tightly.

"What's wrong with you?" Jin Haoran felt that something was wrong, so he asked.

Shanshan wanted to tell him that she almost didn't see you, but she endured it for a while, and finally didn't say anything.

"It's nothing, I'm fine. Let's go see Master Zhao. ”

Master Zhao saw the two of them coming together. He began to tell his opinion.

"I've seen Yuxin Moon Bay, it's really not right there, the yin qi is very heavy, I'm afraid it's difficult to dissolve."

"Is this the case in all places like funeral parlors?" Jin Haoran asked.

"That's not either. This kind of place is often very yin, which is very normal, but not all places with heavy yin qi cannot be inhabited. From ancient times to the present, where has the dead not been buried? Is this all going on? ”

"That rain Xinyue Bay-"

"This morning, I took a closer look, Yuxinyue Bay was a mess, no wonder there was an accident."

Master Zhao paused for a moment, and then continued: "But any wild ghost who has not been reincarnated, even a powerful ghost with deep resentment, is very nostalgic for the place where it once lived, and moved its ashes, it may not necessarily leave. If people want to live here, they must think about not angering the lonely souls and wild ghosts here, and live in harmony in order to be safe and sound. ”

"You mean, people and ghosts coexist?" Jin Haoran felt a little incredible.

"What's so strange about that? In fact, there may be ghosts around us, but we can't see them, and if you don't mess with them, it won't let you see them. Yuxin Yuewan is different there, there are so many people living in the ghost place, and the yang energy has increased a lot, so of course the ghost is uncomfortable. ”

Shanshan thought of Shengding Real Estate's approach, remembered Chongwei's words, and felt that Master Zhao's words were very reasonable.

"Because of this, I also one of the ghosts." Sansa said with a sigh.

"You mean Shen Qi?" Jin Haoran asked.

Sansa nodded silently.

"That won't be." Master Zhao smiled and said, "I've thought about this matter, you didn't do anything wrong, after she became a ghost, she will understand who did it wrong, and she shouldn't blame you." ”

"So, the few times I've seen it are hallucinations?"

Master Zhao nodded and said, "I said yesterday that judging from your current appearance, there is no possibility of ghosts. ”

Shanshan recounted in detail what had just happened at the hotel that morning.

Jin Haoran said in surprise: "Is there such a thing in broad daylight? ”

Master Zhao thought for a while and said, "I originally thought that there were two possibilities. First, you are too preoccupied, and you are always afraid that Shen Qi will resent you, so you hallucinate. The second possibility—" He paused, looked at Shanshan, and then added, "Someone might be hurting you." ”

He deliberately accentuated the pronunciation of the word "human" so that Shanshan and Jin Haoran understood that it was a person who was now alive who harmed her.

Shanshan and Jin Haoran glanced at each other, but they didn't make a sound.

After a pause, Master Zhao asked Shanshan: "You just said that this morning, after you called the driver, you heard Shen Qi

Walking away, do you hear footsteps? ”

"yes." Sansa seemed to think this was normal.

Master Zhao nodded and said, "Now it's almost certain that the second possibility I just mentioned is that someone is harming you." ”

"Why?" Shanshan asked.

"Ghosts don't have footsteps, and the sounds in the hallucination are all seen by you first, and then you can hear, when the hallucination gradually disappears, you can hear what you didn't see, which means that what you heard at this time is not an illusion, I believe that if you turn around at this time, what you see must not be Shen Qi."

"Who could it be?" Sansa thought as she thought as she muttered something in her mouth.

"This person should know you well and know what you're thinking."

Sansa was silent, biting her lip and thinking about something.

"Looks like I'm okay here." Master Zhao said with a smile.

"What, you're leaving?" Jin Haoran asked.

"I can take care of the ghosts, but I can't help with the people."

"Where, you've helped a lot, thank you so much." Shanshan said heartily.

Seeing off Master Zhao, Shanshan sat on the bed silently, her eyes looking out the window, thinking about something.

Jin Haoran didn't want to disturb her, and sat opposite Shanshan, looking at her quietly.

And just like that, the afternoon passed.

"Don't think about it, it's time for dinner." Jin Haoran said.

"No, I still can't figure out why." Shanshan was obviously still immersed in thinking, and what she said made Jin Haoran feel inexplicable.

"Did you think of something?"

Shanshan came back to her senses and asked, "What did you say?" ”

"I ask you what comes to mind?" Jin Haoran raised his voice slightly.

"Didn't people hear it just now, why are you so loud." Shanshan glared at Jin Haoran.

Jin Haoran suddenly lost his temper again.

"Shall we go eat first? My eldest lady. ”

"Well, I haven't had a proper meal since yesterday."

Jin Haoran pulled Shanshan up from the bed with a smile and said, "Yes, you haven't had a good life since your class reunion, so I'll make up for you today." ”

As soon as the two walked out of the room, Shanshan seemed to remember something again, and asked Jin Haoran: "You mentioned our class reunion just now, that is."

It was the night before yesterday. ”

"yes, didn't you forget."

Sansa hurriedly opened her handbag and pulled out a business card from inside. Then make a call at the number above.

"Who were you talking to on the phone?" Jin Haoran asked.

"Check something with the captain of the criminal police here."

"You know quite a few people, old acquaintances?"

"Journalists, work needs. What, jealous? ”

"Can you not be jealous?"

"Then you're miserable, just invest in a brewery, and you can produce vinegar by yourself, probably barely enough to drink."

"Seriously, what's the matter with him?" Jin Haoran straightened his face and became serious.

"I'll tell you after eating, this will make you increase a little stomach acid, which is good for digestion."

After eating, back in the room, Shanshan told Jin Haoran what she thought.

Finally, Shanshan said, "Until now, I just haven't figured out what the motive is, and why is it all this? ”

Jin Haoran was silent for a while, and then said to Shanshan, "I know what this motive is. ”

"Then tell me, what is the motive?" Shanshan hurriedly asked.

"Don't look at you as a native of this city, but you don't know as well as me the inside story of the shopping mall and officialdom here."

"I'm in a hurry, say it quickly."

"Fight for power and profit!" Jin Haoran said word by word. "If you don't believe it, you can check it according to my thoughts, and you will gain something."

Shanshan thought for a moment and asked, "What should we do next?" ”

"Look for a showdown. Otherwise, it will hurt you. ”

"And then?"

Jin Haoran looked at Shanshan and said in a somewhat reproachful tone: "You have already stabbed the hornet's nest, is there a way out?" ”

The two discussed together for a while, and seeing that it was already midnight, Jin Haoran said, "It's time to rest, there will be something tomorrow." Do you still need me to accompany you today? ”

Jin Haoran's tourism project plan has been prepared, and the group is ready to return to the provincial capital. Shanshan also called her old classmates one by one and quit her job.

At noon, the relevant people in the city went to Jin Haoran's meal, and Jin Haoran and his planners all participated.

Since Shanshan had offended some people in the city, it was naturally inconvenient for her to attend, so she sat alone in her room and watched TV.

The TV show was boring, and Sansa was a little sleepy to watch.

In a trance, I heard someone knocking on the door.

"Who?" She asked.

No one answered.

Hate, who is this? Sansa was angry and walked over to open the door.

There was no one outside the door.

Strange, Shanshan muttered to herself, closing the door and turning around.

The room seemed to get darker a lot, and the TV was somehow turned off.

Blackout? Sansa thought.

Suddenly, she saw a man sitting on a chair in the corner of the room. She was startled and instinctively asked, "Who!" ”

"Don't even recognize me?"

That person turned out to be Shen Qi!

"I said I would come again." Shen Qi's voice was still very soft.

Shanshan walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, looking at Shen Qi silently.

Shen Qi seemed a little surprised, and said, "You want to talk to me about something, don't you?" ”

Shanshan said calmly, "I wanted to talk to you, Sha Tin Han. ”

"What are you talking about, I'm Shen Qi."

"Stop acting! I already knew you were Sha Tin Han. ”

There was a long silence, a deathly silence in the room.

Shanshan felt that her surroundings were gradually brightening, and she gradually saw clearly, and it was Sha Tin Han who was sitting there in front of her.

"When did you find out?" Sha Tin Han asked.

"It doesn't matter, I want you to tell me personally, why are you doing this?"

"I just wanted to scare you."

"Scare?" Shanshan couldn't control her emotions a little, "You almost made me jump off the roof of the building and fall to my death, screaming and scare?" We're best friends in middle school! You're going to kill me just to get that little bit of power? ”

"It's all Xiao Li's bastard who leaked the bottom." Sha Tin Han said hatefully.

"To be honest, I didn't suspect anything wrong with you at the time, and I even felt deeply sorry for you. The incident on the top floor of the hotel happened, and after the master gave me an analysis, I suspected you. You used to be my best friend, I came to this city for Yuxinyue Bay, you know every move, and you know my complicated mentality about Shen Qi best. In fact, as early as when I went to the Public Security Bureau to learn about the cause of Shen Qi's death, I always felt that something was wrong, but I never figured it out. It wasn't until I called the criminal police team again to verify that I realized that on the morning of the day you arranged our class reunion, you went to the public security bureau to inquire about Shen Qi's death. You knew that Shen Qi was dead, but you deliberately hid it from me. Shen Qi's death must have something to do with you! But you—even I won't let go. ”
