Chapter 5: The Hanged Man

In the mirror, the appearance of a young woman was reflected, wearing exquisite silk pajamas, her hair was a little disheveled, her face was snow-white, and her tears had not dried, it was herself.

She was still holding the charm in one hand, and with the other hand she raised her hand to stroke her hair, and saw that her own shadow in the mirror did the same, and then she was relieved. But since it was her in the mirror, and there was nothing around, it proved that she was the only one in the bathroom, but where did the bath sound come from?!

Thinking of this, she half-leaned over to look at the shower head, and saw that the shower head seemed to have just been turned off, and the water droplets were falling on the ground little by little, making a ticking sound, echoing in the empty bathroom.

There really was no one else in the bathroom but her, unless- she couldn't see it!

She took a step, but suddenly felt cold under her feet, and looked down to see that the bathroom drain pipe seemed to be blocked, and cold water was flooding the floor, submerging her bare feet. The water came suddenly, and it was particularly cold, and an uncomfortable tingling sensation spread from the soles of her feet all over her body, making her already tense nerves even more vigilant.

Moreover, it's only her, why does she always feel like there's something behind her?!

There's definitely something quirky here! Although she doesn't have yin and yang eyes, she has experienced too many supernatural events, and she can already feel something!

At a glance, something flashed in the afterglow, and I couldn't really see it, but I was sure that something was moving behind her. Suddenly, Xiao Xia's heart tightened, realizing that it was strange from the bath mirror! She froze and took a few slow steps forward, the cold water under her feet making a 'whooshing' sound, and then turned back suddenly.

In the mirror, there is a woman caressing her hair.

The face belonged to her Yue Xiaoxia, but she knew that it was not herself! Because her fear is getting worse and worse, so at this moment she is holding a charm in her right hand, and her left hand is holding the wrist of her right hand, where is the third hand to stroke her hair?! This action was done a minute ago, and she didn't expect this scene to be repeated in the mirror all the time.

She was horrified, staring at the sight in the mirror, and at this moment another head stuck out from the back of her head, as if another head had grown on her shoulder—long hair, bleeding from seven holes, tongue sticking out, and a pair of eyes that only had the whites of her eyes radiating a cold light of resentment!

At the same time, his face in the mirror has also changed, and he has become exactly the same as that 'woman'!

Sleepy!

Xiao Xia finally recited the last word of the Five Elements Forbidden Water Spell and pointed vigorously at the mirror. With a crisp sound that could shatter the night, the mirror surface scattered and burst apart, and the fragments struck in the direction of Konatsu like a sprayed bullet.

Xiao Xia didn't dodge, and let those small knife-like fragments carry the power of spells, sweeping over his body and hitting backwards. When the screams stopped, she turned around slowly, and saw that the fragments were all embedded in the wall across the mirror, forming an indistinct human form. On the human form, there are some speckled dark brown marks, like coagulated blood!

Xiao Xia made a handprint like Bao Datong, in fact, she didn't know it at all, she just made a cat and tiger gesture to scare the other party. She knew that the 'woman' hadn't left yet, and if she ran out now, it would be tantamount to informing the other party that they could retaliate against her.

"Who are you?" She asked aloud.

She was answered by a sudden burst of crying.

"What are you doing?" She suppressed the trembling of her heart when she heard the cry, and asked again.

"Wash-dirty-wash," a woman's voice said intermittently.

Wash? Could it be that this 'woman' is just here to take a bath, not to harm her? Because she was born unlucky, she accidentally encountered these strange things? But does the soul still need to be cleansed? Or did she do something related to bathing, or did she specifically want to take a bath?

'Wow', Xiao Xia hasn't figured out what to ask next, the water dragon's sprinkler suddenly spewed water, originally Xiao Xia was far away, it shouldn't be watery, but the spray head seemed to automatically adjust the angle, aimed at Xiao Xia's position, and drenched Xiao Xia on the spot, because it was too sudden, Xiao Xia's strength and boldness in disguise instantly collapsed.

She subconsciously ran to the door, and at the same time instinctively cast the 'water technique' again. Originally, she only had a spell in her hand, and the so-called knotted handprint was also full, but she used the water technique in the Five Elements Forbidden Law, and it was precisely water that suddenly sprayed out, so she inadvertently exerted her mana, and the dripping water twisted into a small column of water, and shot away at the humanoid form formed by the mirror fragments!

With a 'snap', the wall of the tile was hit by this seemingly weak water column and a crack was struck, and the 'woman' screamed again, and all the broken lenses that were originally embedded in the wall were shaken down, floating on the stagnant water, and did not sink at all!

"You are an accomplice!" The 'woman' cried out hatefully, "You must not die well!" She screamed so sharply that not only did Xiao Xia cover her ears uncomfortably, but even the ceiling light in the bathroom suddenly exploded, and the surroundings fell into pitch black!

Wow -

Suddenly, there was a sound of water, and the waves of water gently hit Natsu's ankle, letting her know that something was also standing in the water, and walked towards her step by step. In the darkness, she couldn't see anything, only the debris floating on the ground flashed little by little, as if there were not broken lenses on the water, but eyes on the ground, staring at Xiao Xia from all different angles!

"Dirty—I'm going to take a bath—you're an accomplice—" The woman's voice echoed through the darkness.

Xiao Xia was so frightened that she was about to faint, but she kept the last bit of consciousness, gritted her teeth and took a big step to the right, touching and pulling in the direction that had been calculated long ago. When he arrived, the lamp on the small table outside the bathroom door lit up, and the warm yellow light shone into a small semicircle, driving away part of the darkness.

Taking advantage of this light, Xiao Xia quickly ran back to the bed, grabbed a large handful of charms from the bedside table, and took out one at random, aiming it at the dark place.

"No matter who you are, no matter what grievances and grievances you have, please stay away from me, I can't care about it!" Because of the alchemy spell in her hand, she was a little bolder, but her voice sounded a little unconfident, "You come to pester me again, beware that I am not polite to you!" ”

No one answered, but the sound of water in the bathroom started again.

Xiao Xia sat on the bed and hesitated for a while, considering whether to stay here and wait for dawn or go to the bathroom to get rid of her. She had heard that some inns were unclean, but she had always thought that only old inns would be like this, and she didn't expect such strange things to happen in five-star hotels. She didn't understand if she was particularly unlucky or if her eight characters were really so light, anyway, these things always came to her, and there was no man by her side, no matter how big the grievances of these things were, she was powerless to help, but if it was an evil spirit that harmed people, she had to solve it herself!

Thinking of this, she stood up, cautiously rubbed to the door of the bathroom, and raised the charm in her hand, "Vajra protects the body, the Buddha's light is reflected, and the evil is broken!" ”

This time, she was desperate to protect herself, so her mind and heart were quite concentrated, and when the spell passed, she only heard a chaotic sound of 'ping pong' in the bathroom, and a faint golden light flashed in the bathroom, and the numbing cold feeling in the bathroom disappeared completely.

Xiao Xia let out a sigh of relief, knowing that the 'woman' had left, and turned on all the lights in the room tiredly, and then walked back to the bedside, putting on a coat haphazardly, thinking about what to do in the future?

Judging from the power of the Five Elements Forbidden Law just now, the bathroom will definitely be damaged. It doesn't matter if the compensation is made, anyway, He Fugui is very casual about money, and everything in the trip is taken care of by her, including managing various expenses. However, do you want to tell He Fugui about this? If you choose to tell him, what will you say? It seems that He Fugui is going to stay here for a few days, if she doesn't say a word, should she change her room? And what is the excuse? And even if she changes rooms, won't the female ghost haunt her?

After thinking about it for a while, Xiao Xia still decided to tell He Fugui what had just happened for his own safety. She had seen him burn incense and worship, and although he had made a strange sacrifice of a green satin embroidered shoe and a bowl of rice mixed with animal blood, he seemed extremely superstitious. If he told him about the female ghost who was going to take a bath, maybe he would leave immediately, then she would avoid it.

She had heard the man who broke her heart say that spirits could not be far away without anything else to attach to.

Having made her decision, she felt a little more relaxed. Inadvertently, she glanced at the curtain, her heart suddenly moved, she stood up and walked to the window, and it took a long time to pluck up the courage to open the curtain a crack and look out of the window.

Outside the rear window is the hotel's entertainment area, with a large swimming pool surrounded by beautiful flowers. It was late at night, and there was no one in the entertainment area, but Xiao Xia could still see something strange at a glance.

On a tree facing her window, a woman was hanging. Her body was hanging loose like a rag bag, swaying by the autumn breeze, and she just happened to turn around when Natsu peeked!

She lived on the fifteenth floor, and she was a little short-sighted, and she should be reluctant to see a hanged woman, but at this moment, she could even see the face of the hanged ghost clearly - her long hair was fluttering, her seven holes were bleeding, and her tongue was sticking out, it was the 'woman' in the bathroom!

Xiao Xia was startled and hurriedly hid behind the curtains, but felt that she had missed something, so she poked her head out and looked again!

The hanged woman had her eyes closed, but at this moment, she suddenly opened them, and her lips without a trace of blood moved, as if she had said something, but Xiao Xia couldn't hear it and couldn't understand it.

Ding Dong――

Someone rang the doorbell, Xiao Xia jumped up, threw himself on the bed to get the scattered charms, and before he could get it ready, there was a touching knock on the door.

"Please open the door, what's wrong?"

It turned out to be the service staff!

"Attention guests, we're coming in!" The man's voice shouted again.

Xiao Xia hurriedly answered, put all the charms into the bag at the bedside, and just after all this was done, the door was opened.

Seeing Xiao Xia standing on the edge of the bed with a frightened face, disheveled and his hair dripping with water, the man who was obviously the head of security was a little puzzled, and looked at the woman next to him, Xiao Xia recognized what kind of manager she was.

"I'm sorry, Miss Yue, right?" The woman is very responsible for her work and knows Xiao Xia's surname, "Excuse me, we have a service staff who heard a loud noise in this room, and the tenant next door also reacted that he heard a strange noise, in order to ensure Miss Yue's safety, let's take a look at what's going on." Is there anything you can help me with, Miss Yue? ”

Xiao Xia glanced at the door, and saw that there were three security guards behind these two people, and outside the door, there were a few tenants looking curiously at the probe, knowing that the sound from the bathroom just now had alarmed everyone, so they simply calculated it.

"I don't know. I slept until midnight when I suddenly heard the sound of water in the bathroom. I went to see it, and the shower head turned on on its own, drenching me with water! Xiao Xia's frightened memories were not faked, and the uneasiness that had been suppressed just now was vented without reservation, "I was so scared that I ran out, and I heard a loud noise in the bathroom, I don't know what's going on!" She lied to the last sentence, but her expression convinced the two officers in charge.

"Aren't you hurt?" The female manager glanced at the wide open bathroom door and glanced at the three security guards. The three men immediately fanned around the bathroom. The bathroom is not a separate room, except for the door, it is not connected to the outside world, as long as you guard the door, if there are gangsters, you will never be able to run out.

"I'm fine, but the bathroom light suddenly blew out." Xiao Xia thought of the fragments, the eyes reflected in each fragment, and couldn't help but shudder, "This is so strange, isn't your hotel - unclean?" ”

Xiao Xia's unpretentious body language scared the female manager, but she understood that the door was still open, for fear of affecting the reputation of the hotel, so she quickly glanced at the security supervisor again.

"I'm going to send someone to check it, it's probably the electrical fault. As you know, there are also appliances and water pipes that fail to open and close. If this is the case, I apologize to you on behalf of the hotel for the fright that Miss Yue was frightened, and I will definitely give you a reasonable explanation. ”

She said without leaking, and the security supervisor over there hurriedly went to the porch to persuade the other guests to leave. Xiao Xia heard him say that it was the tenant's lady who made a mistake in operating the electrical appliances and blew up the bathroom, and then saw him say something with the walkie-talkie, and then closed the door and went back to the room to preside over the 'reconnaissance' work.

The result was completely expected by Xiao Xia, after the electrician on duty changed the ceiling light, the hotel staff found that the bathroom was in a mess, the bath mirror was shattered, and the broken lenses were scattered far away, which was completely inexplicable with physical knowledge, and the walls and ground of the bathroom were full of traces of axes and chisels, and the degree of damage was by no means something that this delicate and weak Miss Yue could figure out.

"I also heard a woman's voice saying she was going to take a shower. There's no one dead here, has it? Xiao Xia added a fire to the staff's doubts.

On the spot, the faces of these parties turned green. No one has ever died in the hotel, but judging from the situation at the scene and Miss Yue's explanation that she is not lying, is it haunted?

"We'll give you a new room first, so you can have a good rest first." Things were strange and sudden, and the shrewd and capable female manager and the strong-faced security supervisor didn't know how to deal with it, so they had to take remedial measures first, "But please don't talk about this matter yet." Our hotel has always been in good service, and if the reputation of the hotel is affected by a slight electrical failure, we - please understand. After we have discussed, we will give you a satisfactory solution. ”

Xiao Xia Ming knew that this had nothing to do with the hotel's service, so he didn't deliberately embarrass people, readily agreed, and immediately changed the room. When all this was done, the sky was already dark, and I happened to see He Fugui, who was excited and tired, being sent back by four bodyguards.

"What's going on?" He Fugui asked.

Xiao Xia felt that it was not appropriate for the bodyguards to know about this matter, so he pulled He Fugui aside and said in his ear, "I hit a ghost." ”

In an instant, He Fugui's body stiffened, and at the same time, Xiao Xia felt a very uncomfortable feeling of dizziness, feeling that He Guigui's ears were very cold, as if something was blowing in his ears, and the angle of his eyes seemed to be too big.
