Chapter 49 Close tonight
I told Wu Jian what happened that night. He said that he had a good idea, he told me to relocate to the ghost house. I thought this was a good idea, particularly because I figured most ghosts would be afraid to enter a place with so many other ghosts.
After we carefully analyzed the situation from all angles, Wu Jian left. He had to deal with Huang Lei’s situation. After all, it was him who had sent Huang Lei to the detention center. Although he had falsified a minimal crime, he still had to guarantee Huang Lei’s safety.
Wu Jian left and I opened the window, it was already morning. I was certain the baby ghost didn’t dare to bother me on such a sunny day. Truthfully however, I couldn’t be sure.
In retrospect, I felt like that the boy who was rummaging through the trash had come to save me, but why? Just because I gave him money and had some sympathy?
Suddenly I remembered something, the boy was probably the one that the long gown man had mentioned who took little Pang and little Shou away. I would have to ask him about it if I was able to see him next time, I knew how much Yan’er loved little Pang.
Then, I didn’t know what to do. I thought about it for a while, I gave a phone call to He Xiaoru and He Xiaoyong to chat with them for a while. I was going to be the next one to die, but I wasn’t too worried about it. With the ghost house backing me up, I figured my safety was guaranteed. Nevertheless, I needed a way out as soon as possible, I preferred not staying in the ghost house every day. Besides, I’d still feel really uncomfortable if Zhang Sheng wasn’t dealt with.
He Xiaoru came by quickly with her brother, but both of their faces were clearly showing their sadness. It seemed what happened to Huang Lei scared them a lot, for good reason. I comforted them and showed them the pictures in my phone, and told them all about the things that happened yesterday.
He Xiaoru showed her concern when she realized I was next. I gave her a brief introduction about my experience working in the ghost house. Hearing what I said, He Xiaoru seemed to relax a little, which made me think she really did care about me.
On the other hand, He Xiaoyong was full of rage, he wanted nothing more than to plunge a knife into Zhang Sheng’s heart.
"Can we tell this all to Su Qing? I think Su Qing's involvement is very important. I don’t think she knows that Zhang Sheng has been using her baby to kill people. I also need to understand why we are being targeted by the baby.” He Xiaoru said.
I nodded and thought about how we could go about accomplishing that. Do we just directly approach Zhang Sheng or do we go through the ghost baby?
He Xiaoru was deep in thought about the same thing, after a while she came up with a suggestion, "Su Qing is the key to all this, I think we can figure all this out if she goes after her baby...."
I shook my head. People were often blinded by love, Su Qing was worse than blind. We should probably discuss this all with sister Tan first and see if there were some solutions from her end. I didn't want to see that ghost baby again and Zhang Sheng was unlikely to tell us anything useful. It was a wise plan to focus our attention on Su Qing.
He Xiaoru wanted to go to ghost house with me, I had to politely reject her request. I really wasn’t sure yet if she’d be welcomed or not. I headed out early and got there earlier than usual. While avoiding the attention of the pedestrians on the road, I snuck into ghost house. It hadn’t opened yet , so the appearance of the house was still the broken and decrepit appearance it was in reality.
In the hall, I found a sturdy chair and called Xiao Lingdang a few times. No one answered, were they still sleeping or putting on their make up?
Just when I started getting bored, sister Hua's voice snuck up behind me, "Boy, look at you! It’s incredible, you’re here so early!"
Quickly turned around and decided to flatter to sister Hua, "Sister Hua, I’d do anything for the Fan House!"
Sister Hua giggled, "I forgot to tell you yesterday. We’re not open for business tonight. You can come by tomorrow and come early! We will be celebrating the festival.”
I was stunned, what was I going to do!? That ghost baby had his eyes on me, but the ghost house was not open tonight.
I turned around and said, "But it’s the ghost house, we have to do business, right?"
Sister Hua was giggling again, "Not tonight. Tomorrow is a festival, everybody is very busy."
Festival? What ghost festival? I set that thought aside, what mattered now was to get sister Hua to open her business, so I told her, "Sister Hua, you see, I’m not busy today, I can...."
Before I finished, I was interrupted by her laughter, "You want to do something? You can drink with the guests!"
For the sake of surviving, I said, "Sister Hua, I’d love to drink with guests."
Sister Hua laughed, then got very serious, "Your body has an unfamiliar sense about it, did you provoke a ghost?"
With my current job, I was provoking ghosts every single night. The only difference was the ghost I provoked this time wanted to kill me. I decided to stop holding back and I told her about the ghost baby. This was the third time I had told this story.
Sister Hua listened to my story and covered her smile with her hand the entire time, "Well, we’re still going to be closed tonight, and I must be off now!” With that, she turned and disappeared.
I couldn’t believe that Sister Hua had just ignored how serious this entire situation was! Since the ghost house wasn’t open tonight, I had nothing else to do. I made up my mind, even if we didn't open, I would stay in ghost house. There were so many female ghosts upstairs, I truly believed they wouldn’t leave me alone when the ghost baby came.
That was when I remembered, what was the festival that sister Hua had been talking about? I didn’t have time to ask about it when she was still around, was it some kind of special festival for ghosts? My mind was blank and I couldn’t stop thinking about it.
Time continued to pass and the ghost house, typically brightly lit, was dark and gloomy at the moment. The broken furniture showing amidst the moonlight painted quite a creepy picture which began to scare me a little. I as internally cursing at sister Hua for closing up the house.
"Oh, brother, it’s you! Sister Hua said we are not doing business tonight. Does that mean you’ll help me find my skin."
I was shocked by Xiao Lingdang’s voice, but then I relaxed quite a bit, I was not alone anymore. It was really boring sitting in a room by myself. Now I had someone to talk to, It would be perfect for killing time. Furthermore, I needed Xiao Lingdang’s help get in touch with sister Tan.
"Xiao Lingdang, can you help me communicate with sister Tan? I really have to talk with her."
"Humph, if you don't help me look for my skin, I won’t help you either."
She was such a child! Even though I knew it was my fault she was upset. I had promised to help Xiao Lingdang find her skin for a long time. Although I was completely clueless, I knew I hadn’t really dedicated much time for it. Honestly, I was a little embarrassed about it.
"Xiao Lingdang, please help me find sister Tan. I have a few words to exchange with her, just a few, and then tonight we can go look for your skin together, deal?"
If Xiao Lingdang was with me, I would bet the ghost baby couldn’t hurt me. Besides, if the ghost baby were to dare hurt Xiao Lingdang, or even just scare her, all these protective female ghosts in the ghost house would never let him go. Ha, I was so smart!
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
