Chapter 2: I'm a ghost

Can a man who jumped from the nineteenth floor, without wings, with a parachute, and without a bamboo dragonfly above his head, survive?

That designation can't, even if there is an air cushion underneath, it is not to mention a blue and purple piece, not to mention falling directly on the cement floor with excellent engineering quality, which has to be a piece of east and west.

However, today, at 4:12 p.m. on September 20, 2023 to be exact, Zhou Zhongqing watched a weak girl jump down from the nineteenth floor, and appeared in front of him unscathed at this moment, and could greet him as if nothing had happened-

"You can really see me."

After confirming that the girl in the white dress was the girl on the rooftop who had just jumped from the nineteenth floor of the school, Zhou Zhongqing slammed as if he had seen a ghost, and reflexively took a step back.

It's a pity that the desire to open the distance did not come true, and the crowded train did not make room for him at all, but because he hit the passers-by behind, it caused a little dissatisfaction among the passers-by, and thus gained a white eye.

In the past 20 years since he was born, Zhou Zhongqing has not had a feeling of 'I can't figure it out' other things, except for the existence of aliens, and there have been no bizarre events like novels in his daily life.

Only what happened today, he racked his brains and couldn't find a suitable word to describe his complicated mood at the moment.

[When the train starts, please stand firm and hold ......]

The small episode in the corner did not affect the normal operation of the subway line, and after the doors closed, the train began to move slowly like a behemoth full of passengers.

As the train progressed, the humming of the wheels rubbing against the tracks resounded in his brain.

Zhou Zhongqing seemed to be settled, his body stiffened, his eyes were fixed on the girl in the white dress who was only one position away from him in front of him, the young heart in his chest was beating strongly, and the superfluous emotions were replaced by a sense of panic that exceeded his cognitive comprehension little by little.

"You, ...... you?"

Alien? Superpowers? Immortal cultivator?

At this moment, a lot of outrageous terms popped up in his mind, and forgive him for not being able to associate this kind of thing with a normal human being.

Looking back on his childhood, Zhou Zhongqing also eagerly longed for 'aliens, superpowers, and immortal cultivators!' Come to me! But how could you never have thought that there would really be such a day?

"I'm a ghost."

The girl in the white dress answered his question honestly, and the speed of her answer was so quick that Zhou Zhongqing didn't even have time to think.

"What are you kidding......!"

People's instinctive reaction to things beyond the scope of their own cognition and understanding is to question and deny, and Zhou Zhongqing is no exception.

Even though he had already expected that something was wrong with the girl in the white dress in front of him, when he heard her say that she was a ghost, he instinctively thought it was a joke, and even began to turn his head to observe every suspicious person around him, trying to find the footage of them hiding to shoot a short video of the prank.

It's not that there can't be a ghost in this world, but the girl in the white dress in front of him is too inconsistent with the image of the ghost in his imagination-

Petite, looking perhaps less than one meter six tall, wearing a white dress, revealing two thin and straight legs, soft shawl long hair, and the lines of her face are also soft angles, coupled with her non-aggressive eyebrows, eyes and nose, she looks white and thin and looks harmless to humans and animals, and her voice is crisp like a wind chime, and the dingdong is very pleasant.

The light in the carriage fell on her, perhaps because of her own characteristics, the light became softer, and it should have been a cold reflection, but at this moment there was a strange feeling of 'sparkling on the surface of the lake in the gentle autumn'.

From the perspective of appearance alone, if Zhou Zhongqing is to describe it, she is probably like a well-behaved sister next door, and she only needs to gently pinch her soft face with her hand, she will pout her little mouth and look at you aggrievedly with those big watery eyes, which is a good bully at first glance.

In Zhou Zhongqing's cognition, the girl's appearance has nothing to do with a ghost no matter what, so you wear a big red dress, smear some blood on your face, and the corners of your mouth are cracked to your ears, no matter how bad you are, you are a black mist with no appearance, and let out the laughter of the elders of the Soul Palace, so even if you don't need to say it, I know that you are a ghost, okay!

If the ghosts all look like this, then Zhou Zhongqing thinks he can.

Zhou Zhongqing couldn't help laughing: "Stop playing this kind of prank, tell me where your camera is hidden?" ”

"You seem to be a little strange...... "The girl reminded.

"It's you, the strange person!"

After saying this, Zhou Zhongqing noticed the eyes of the passengers around him when they looked at him - there were surprises, curiosity, pity, precautions, and looking for something with their eyes like him.

The originally crowded space suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, not because the number of passengers on the train had decreased, but because the passengers around him had tacitly distanced themselves from him.

It was only at this time that Zhou Zhongqing had a deep understanding of the girl's words of 'you can really see me' - except for him, no one else in the train seemed to notice the girl's existence.

"Hey, buddy, are you alright......"

"Are you doing the challenge of the subway club?"

“……”

Facing the care of enthusiastic passengers, Zhou Zhongqing shook his head, silently took out the Bluetooth headset in his pocket and put it on: "Hey? The signal was not good just now......"

If these passers-by weren't pre-scripted, then there's only one answer: they really ...... I can't see her!

Only he was aware of the existence of the girl in the white dress, and in the eyes of passers-by, he was taking care of himself from the moment he got into the car...... Onset?

A fine cold sweat broke out on his forehead at this moment.

No, is it me or you who have the problem? You can't see such a big person here?!

After just calming down his heartbeat for a short while, he began to gallop again, Zhou Zhongqing adjusted the rate of his breathing, stared at the girl in the white dress in front of him, and tried to stay calm.

From the scientific side, Zhou Zhongqing can't understand or explain what happened to the girl in the white dress;

From the metaphysical side, because she is a ghost, then everything that happened to her seems reasonable......

Because she was a ghost, she was fine if she jumped from the nineteenth floor; Because she's a ghost, it's normal for others to not see her...... But if she's a ghost, then why can I see her?!

Sure enough, is it my turn to be ridiculous youth?

Anyway, give me a system to awaken! What's the matter with sending a ghost girl to me?!

Zhou Zhongqing looked at her silently, like a girl who existed in substance, no matter how she looked at it, she didn't look like that ethereal existence, until he stretched out his hand to her tremblingly, and at the moment of contact with each other, Zhou Zhongqing clearly saw that the boundary between her skin and the surrounding space instantly blurred, and the hand he stretched out passed through her body without any hindrance.

It was as easy as passing through a cloud of smoke, and where he touched it, her body parts dissipated into countless photons, and when his hand left, these photons reunited into body parts—it turned out that she had just been squeezed into a deformed and shattered body, not an adjective......

Zhou Zhongqing was silent - on this day in the late summer of the year when he was twenty years old, he encountered a ghost.

The girl in the white dress didn't know what Zhou Zhongqing was thinking at this moment, when Zhou Zhongqing stretched out her hand to her, she didn't even dodge it, she just stood quietly, looking at the advertising screen and the black corridor that flashed with the subway train outside the window.

"What is the speed of the train?" The girl in the white dress turned her head coldly and asked him.

Zhou Zhongqing was stunned by her question, and subconsciously replied: "Fifty or sixty? ”

The girl in the white dress nodded and stopped talking, and continued to stand quietly and look out the window.

"What the hell do you want to do......"

Zhou Zhongqing helped the Bluetooth headset, talking in his mouth, but his eyes were looking at her.

For this kind of unreasonable existence, Zhou Zhongqing can't use common sense thinking to figure out her actions, if the ghost girl wants to kill in the train, he doesn't even know how to stop it.

"Are you talking to me?"

"Otherwise, who else!"

"I'm going to kill myself by lying on the rails at the next stop."

If he hadn't heard it with his own ears, Zhou Zhongqing would never have imagined that someone could say something in such a flat tone that was shocking and breathless.
