Volume 1, Death Assistant Chapter 61, Ghost Baby
I didn't rush back to the hotel, but told Ji Jiulan in detail about the situation I encountered in the woods, including the ghost gate, including the yin and yang eyes.
Ji Jiulan also frowned after hearing this, and she blinked a few times, as if she was hesitating to continue.
If you're worried about my situation, there's no need. I pretended to be relaxed and said: I have confirmed just now, it is the hotel that can affect me, as long as I come out, it will be fine. And it's just that I can't touch a ghost, which isn't a big deal, and I don't have to catch a ghost with my own hands all the time.
It's true? You're not trying to get around for that death assistant, are you? I always feel like it's not that simple! Ji Jiulan said as she stared at me with her big sled dog eyes.
You don't think he's targeting me, do you? I asked with a smile.
Isn't it? Don't forget, An Qifan is dead, and this incident almost put you in prison!
Squatting, I have alibi.
Yes, what if he changed the day? Another day when you are alone at home and have no alibi, or leave the tools of the crime in your home again! If he did, would you still be as easy as you are now? Ji Jiulan asked me rhetorically continuously.
I took a deep breath, and then put away the fake smile on my face that was pretending to be relaxed, I knew that this kind of disguise didn't mean anything in front of Ji Jiulan.
Well, you're right, he probably doesn't, it's not possible, he's targeting me! He had left me a message on my website saying that I would always be one step slower than him, but that he would be waiting for me in hell. I said truthfully to Ji Jiulan.
Waiting for you in hell? What does he mean by that? Shall we perish with you? Ji Jiulan became even more nervous.
I quickly shook my head, I don't think he meant that. Yesterday someone said something to me, and I was very concerned about it, and what he wanted to say was that what I was doing was actually disrupting normal karma, saying that I would definitely go to hell when I died.
Ji Jiulan didn't answer, but continued to look at me with a frown.
I paused for a moment, and then continued: So I thought, maybe the death assistant is trying to send me a message that what he's doing is essentially the same thing as me, that he knows he's going to hell, and I'm going to hell sooner or later, and we're going to meet in hell all the time.
Fart! Ji Jiulan scolded without caring about the image, he is killing people, you are saving people! I don't care about karma, I just know that the kind of person he should be shot, and you are a person who is very annoying, but generally you are still a good person.
She really amused me with that.
I shook my head helplessly. As for the issue of personality, I really don't have an in-depth discussion with this ninth princess, she can get along with someone like Xi Lin, which is enough to explain it!
Forget it, let's talk about the death assistant. I decided to get back on track, there was something wrong in that room, the ghost of the man who committed suicide yesterday was trapped in that room, and I had to go back and check the other rooms.
Well, I'm with you! Ji Jiulan nodded solemnly.
I didn't refuse. Although I don't want to admit it, but the fact that I can't meet ghosts does make me feel a little weak, and having someone by my side to help at this time will still make me feel more at ease, especially Ji Jiulan Although she keeps saying that she is a woman, I can't accept it psychologically or physically.
She's a pure man!
When we returned to the hotel again, the landlady showed up again to show her concern for me.
I said perfunctorily that I was fine, and then showed her the portrait of the death assistant and asked her if she had seen the man.
The female boss looked at it, then immediately shook her head and said: This Officer Ji has already shown me yesterday, there is no such person.
Are you sure? I'm a little skeptical.
Positive! The landlady nodded vigorously, except for the deep winter, there will be more guests here, and there are very few guests in normal times, but each will stay for a long time, in order to wait for those so-called supernatural events or vampires, so I remember the guests who have been here, and there is absolutely no one you are looking for.
Seeing that she was so sure, I didn't want to ask any more, and after thanking her, Ji Jiulan and I went back to the second floor again.
In the innermost room, the man who hanged himself was still hanging on the electric fan, and I didn't give up trying to touch it, but my hand still passed through him. After coming out of this room, I checked all the rooms on the second floor one by one, but I didn't see any ghosts.
That doesn't mean I didn't notice that a couple of guests on the second floor caught my eye, though.
There were three people living on this floor, a couple, and a balding middle-aged man with a gloomy face. The couple was very welcoming to me, especially when I introduced me to the Onmyoji, they invited me into my room and followed me to check out all the other rooms.
The couple told me that they were now traveling all over the country, chasing the paranormal events that broke out on the Internet, and two months ago someone told a story about this hotel on a supernatural forum, and the story said that as long as they lived in this hotel for a month, there would be a bloody disaster.
So these two people came up with an idea to verify the truth of this supernatural rumor, so more than half a month ago, the two of them lived in a hotel together. However, they didn't wait for the bloodlight disaster, but the frustrated man who moved in a week ago took the first step.
However, the two people did not think that the man was suicidal, because the two of them could always hear the sound of children playing and running in the hotel at night, but there were no children in the whole house, so they felt that the man's suicide was possessed by a ghost.
I didn't comment on their judgment, but advised them to leave the hotel now and not stay until something happened to them. And I also deliberately left two ghost suppression talismans for the two of them, hoping that they would always carry them with them just in case.
After talking to these two people, I went to find the other bald man who always had a gloomy face.
The bald was funny, the first time I knocked on the door of his room, it took him a long time to open it, and he smiled with disdain when he learned that I was an onmyoji. Eventually, he allowed me in, but he kept grunting and laughing.
When I knocked on his door again, the bald man seemed to be a little impatient, he didn't let me in, and only showed half of his face behind the door and asked me: Are you trying to buy me?
His question really baffled me, so I asked rhetorically: What to buy?
Aren't people like you just relying on alarmism to save your senses? He raised his eyebrows and looked at me disdainfully and said, "Are you afraid that I will expose you?" Don't worry, I won't say it, just keep letting those two idiots worship you.
So, you're different from them? I followed his words.
Of course, I can see if there are ghosts in this hotel! Child? Haha, it's bluffing at all, there are no ghosts in this hotel at all, if you have to say that there is, that is, the hostess of the hotel has a ghost in her heart! Her dilapidated hotel is about to be demolished, and she thinks that by posting a few supernatural stories on the Internet, tourists will come to her door? Joke! If you live for a month, there will be a bloody disaster, why doesn't she say a year? After saying that, he smiled disdainfully again.
So, you also came here after reading that supernatural rumor on the Internet? I asked.
It doesn't matter why I came, what matters is how much money you pay to shut me up. Also, that policeman, I don't think you really believe that the kid next door committed suicide, right? He abruptly changed the subject.
Ji Jiulan immediately came over and asked: What do you have to say?
Yes! I'll ask you to investigate the proprietress of this inn, and the night before the kid committed suicide, I heard something I shouldn't have heard.
What's moving? Ji Jiulan asked with a serious face.
I quickly stopped her, and then prompted: The boss lady's husband has been dead for ten years! Women, thirty like a wolf, forty like a tiger, don't tell me you don't understand what it means.
Bored! She cursed, then turned and headed for the stairs.
I shook my head slightly, and then continued to ask the gloomy man: How long have you been living here?
29 days, and it's going to be a month soon! He replied confidently.
Aren't you afraid of death?
Unless that woman kills me!
You don't believe in ghosts?
Ghost? Ha ha! If there is a ghost in this world, then I am the ghost father!
If I were you, I would definitely keep my mouth shut, you better take this, if you are willing to listen to me, and leave before it gets dark, something is wrong in this hotel. As I spoke, I shoved a glowing talisman through the crack in the door.
He glanced at it, but didn't answer, give me 100,000, and I'll leave immediately!
Do you want Stygian coins? I asked with a smile.
Keep your own flowers!
With a bang, he slammed the door shut.
This man's attitude made me unhappy from the bottom of my heart, but I still put the talisman on his door.
When I went down to the first floor, I saw Ji Jiulan talking to the hostess of the inn, and I thought it should be to ask the hostess about going to the suicide's room. I don't think I should go over to listen to that kind of topic, so I just walked around the first floor and looked at the rooms downstairs.
What are you looking for?
Suddenly, the voice of a small child came from above me!
I jerked my head up and saw the face of a little girl peeking out from the middle of the staircase railing on the second floor, she was about 4 or 5 years old, and she didn't look like a ghost!
When she noticed that I was looking at her, she immediately let out the hearty giggle that is characteristic of children, and then asked: Do you want to play with Tibetan cats?
Ji Jiulan! Rise! I quickly glanced at Ji Jiulan with my peripheral vision, and said in a low voice.
But at the moment when my gaze shifted, the girl disappeared!
I looked up, what are you doing? Ji Jiulan asked me in surprise at the door.
There's a kid in this building, a little girl! I replied.
