I captured the little ghost that had been causing trouble and harming people in Hyatt City.
From him, I vaguely got some information about Si Tong.
The little ghost stuck out his tongue and desperately licked the sugar frosting on the lollipop. He only told me that there were five little ghosts of similar ages in total. One of them was disobedient and had been locked up and was almost beaten to death.
My heart skipped a beat, and I roughly understood why Si Tong had been able to run out to seek my help before.
It should be that he pretended to agree to the evildoer who had locked up his soul and agreed to harm people in Hyatt City to gather ill - gotten wealth, which gave him temporary freedom.
But the person who had captured his soul held a substitute with his birth date, flesh, blood, hair and fur. This substitute was equivalent to the "kite string" that controlled the little ghost. As soon as they found he was disobedient, they immediately tightened the string and caught him back.
I wanted to take out some more snacks to coax him into telling me where the "father" who controlled them was. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
I subconsciously looked at my phone. It was already two o'clock in the morning.
It was already late at night when everyone was asleep. How could there be someone knocking on my door?!
I quickly held my breath and made a "shh" gesture to the little ghost in the room.
At this moment, whether the one knocking on the door was a human or a ghost, they must have bad intentions!
The two little deceased ghosts, one big and one small, being innocent, thought I was playing hide - and - seek with someone. They immediately excitedly covered their mouths, their red eyes staring at me and then at the door.
Wang Yingxiu's ghost son even bounced his big head and floated towards the room door. He reached out his hand to pull the door lock.
In the blink of an eye, a red figure hung down from the ceiling. It reached out and grabbed the little ghost's neck and pulled him back into the wall. Wang Yingxiu finally stepped in to discipline her son!!
Cold sweat had started to break out on my nose.
Although the light in the room was not on, the curtains on the window were not drawn tightly.
This was an old - style apartment building. On one side of the long corridor were the apartment rooms, and on the other side were iron railings painted dark red. A pale crescent moon hung obliquely in the sky, and a faint ray of light seeped in through the gap in the curtain.
A dark shadow slowly moved to the window, and faintly, a sigh came through the glass into my ears.
"… Hello, is anyone there?"
It was a man's voice.
The heart that I had been holding tightly finally returned to its place.
It wasn't Si Jiangchen, nor Wei Yuan... but that "peacock rainbow candy" Song Yixuan!
What on earth was this guy doing, running here in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?!
Did he suddenly have a conscience and come back to pay his respects to his girlfriend?
I raised my head. In the shadow of the ceiling, Wang Yingxiu was holding her child. She had also heard the man's voice outside.
"I... I know. He won't be so heartless. He couldn't have just left us alone..."
Wang Yingxiu slowly slid down the wall. Her pale, blood - less face showed a look of both panic and joy. "Miss Du, open the door and let him in."
A strong sense of uneasiness had welled up in my heart since Song Yixuan appeared at the door.
If he had always missed Wang Yingxiu, why didn't he come earlier?
Why did he show up outside the room just when I had failed to find him?!!
However, seeing Wang Yingxiu's eager expression of longing to see her lover, if I dared to stop her, I was afraid she would turn against me in an instant.
I no longer had the Thunder Spell to restrain fierce ghosts. If Song Yixuan outside also had other intentions, with this one human and one ghost, one real and one illusory, I might not even have a chance to escape!
"Wait a minute..."
My voice was extremely soft. "How do you know he's here to find you?"
Wang Yingxiu was holding her deceased child in her arms, but her face showed a gentle and infatuated look. "This was our former home! The house my mother bought was for our wedding!"
Saying that, as if she was annoyed by my meddling, she stopped talking to me and reached out to open the room door.
By the faint moonlight outside, it could be seen that the flamboyant man we had seen in the evening was indeed standing outside the door.
At this moment, he had already changed his clothes. He was wearing a simple T - shirt and suit pants, looking a bit more decent than when he was on business.
"Axuan..."
Seeing the man she had longed for in life and death appear in front of her, Wang Yingxiu was so choked up that she couldn't speak for a moment.
"Hello."
Song Yixuan completely ignored Wang Yingxiu in front of him. His affectionate eyes looked at me. "Excuse me, are you Du Xinghe?"
"Uh..."
I didn't expect Song Yixuan to be here to find me!
The smile on his face was still as gentle and amiable as it was at the meet - and - greet. "Sorry to bother you. Mr. Wei Yuan said you had something to talk to me about, so... I came to see you right after I finished the dinner party... May I come in?"
"..." I was silent, and a strange feeling rose in my heart.
I glanced at Wang Yingxiu standing in front of Song Yixuan. The eagerness on her face was like being splashed with a basin of cold water.
She was a ghost, and Song Yixuan didn't have the "ability to see ghosts", so he couldn't see her at all.
Wang Yingxiu looked back at me. "Let him in. Let him see me. Let him hear me talk..."
It was so late, and I didn't want to let a stranger into my house. But Wang Yingxiu looked so eager, and Song Yixuan had mentioned Wei Yuan.
I had indeed asked Wei Yuan to help me contact him to fulfill Wang Yingxiu's wish.
Although I hadn't been able to meet Song Yixuan at Rui Bai Coffee because of Si Jiangchen, now that he had come to my door, it could be considered that different paths led to the same destination.
Seeing that I didn't say anything, Song Yixuan walked in as if he was very familiar with the place.
"Let him see me..."
Wang Yingxiu was holding her ghost son and howling behind me.
I ignored Wang Yingxiu and turned to look at Song Yixuan. "Mr. Song, have you ever thought that it's a bit ungentlemanly to come to a girl's room in the middle of the night?"
Song Yixuan smiled, seemingly thinking I was being pretentious.
"Mr. Wei Yuan said you were my fan and asked me to get closer to you. I even skipped the KTV party with the big shots and rushed here in a hurry. Are you angry with me and think I came too late?"
With an ambiguous tone, he even took two steps closer to me. His figure blocked the moonlight, casting a dim shadow on me.
I could feel the hair on my body standing on end.
This man was really as vain as a peacock! Thinking he was good - looking, he put on a lovesick look... I wonder if those crazy fans would all abandon him if they saw his greasy expression now?!
And that Wei Yuan, was he crazy?
I had just casually said that I was Song Yixuan's fan, and he actually sent the man to me.
I cursed Wei Yuan a hundred times in my heart and at the same time understood the purpose of Song Yixuan coming to find me in the middle of the night.
I'm afraid he had received a hint from his future benefactor and came to offer himself to me, this fan... Otherwise, how could he run to a girl's house in the middle of the night?!
