Chapter 9, some people call you, but you must not respond

Did you take the subway after 11 o'clock?

This young man named Wang Qing is a student at a university in the capital. One day, after gathering with classmates, he took the subway back to school. Halfway through, he got drunk and fell asleep in the restroom of the subway station. When he woke up, he had no idea what time it was. Groggily, Wang Qing walked out of the restroom. At that time, there was no one left in the subway station, but the lights on the ceiling were still on. In his dazed state from drinking, Wang Qing did not notice that the clock hanging on the wall nearby showed that it was already past eleven o'clock.

Wang Jingzhe turned around and walked away, while the young man behind him anxiously exclaimed: "Master, I have encountered a malevolent spirit, no, I mean I have encountered a ghost. I have been waiting at this subway entrance for almost seven or eight days, just hoping to find someone who can help me resolve this issue. Could you please lend me a hand?"

The nation's heavy weaponry, how can mere phantoms and spirits be so arrogant

Wang Jingzhe immediately frowned and interjected, "You must have spoken to her in a dream, telling her that the map was thrown away"

After waiting for a while, the sound of a train approaching echoed through the subway corridor. Once a train stopped and the doors opened, Wang Qing stepped inside. At that moment, the carriage was completely empty, with no one present. He thought it was simply late, and there were fewer passengers, so he did not pay much attention. After the train had traveled two more stations, Wang Qing began to feel bewildered because from his perspective, looking both forward and backward, the entire subway carriage was devoid of any passengers. The silence in the space was so profound that it sent chills down his spine. He still thought it was just late and that there were fewer passengers, so he did not pay much attention. After the train had traveled two more stations, Wang Qing felt a bit dazed because from his angle, looking both forward and backward, the entire subway carriage was empty, and the silence in the space was unsettling.

"Then give me the money, is that alright?" The young man quickly took out his wallet and handed over a stack of cash, saying, "Is this enough? If not, I can go to the bank and withdraw more. Master, please help me"

While waiting for the subway, after two more stops, Wang Qing glanced around and suddenly noticed a figure in the rear carriage walking towards him. Wang Qing immediately felt relieved. It wasn't long before the person approached, and he could see that it was a woman in a long dress, with disheveled hair, obscuring her facial features.

Wang Qing said: "I started drinking and didn't realize how much I had consumed. Later, when I got off the bus and returned to school, it was already past 12 o'clock."

The young man's cry abruptly stopped with a "ga" sound, and there was a hint of confusion in his dark eye sockets. After taking the money from him, Wang Jingzhe asked, "Tell me, what happened with the books?"

Since then, for the past few nights, I have been dreaming of that woman asking me for a map. Later, in a panic, I went to the subway station and bought quite a few maps, placing them on my bed to hug while I sleep, but it was completely useless; she still clung to me relentlessly

Wang Qing nodded and said, "Yes, I told her that I had thrown away the map, and then she suddenly lunged at me. I was terrified at that moment; her face was covered in blood under her hair. She was gripping my neck tightly and wouldn't let go. Just when I felt like I was about to be choked to death, I suddenly woke up"

Seeing that Wang Jingzhe did not pay him any attention, the young man, with a mournful expression, followed behind him and said: "Master, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda"

Unable to enter the subway left Wang Jingzhe feeling somewhat unsettled. The other party recognized him as the debtor, and was too indifferent to engage with him. Moreover, the unspoken rule in their line of work is to let the blade do the talking.

When a normal person's vital energy diminishes, it is certain that they will first suffer from a serious illness, leading to an increasingly weakened state until they can no longer endure and ultimately, they will not survive

For instance, when you are alone and walking on a dark road after midnight, if someone calls your name from behind, you must not respond. If someone taps your shoulder, you should not turn around, otherwise, something unfortunate may happen

You are essentially living in a dormitory at school; if you were to change to another place, it would be hard to say what you would be like. Schools are generally places with a strong masculine atmosphere.

If you don't believe it, you can recall that after a relative or friend has passed away, sometimes you dream of them, and they may call you to follow them in the dream. In fact, most of the time you refuse and do not agree to go with them. If you had gone, you might have inevitably fallen seriously ill upon waking up

Without him saying it, Wang Jingzhe could already tell. The dark circles under his eyes clearly indicated a state of having his vital energy drained. This person had been entangled by a ghost for at least several days. If this continues, it won't be long before his yang energy is nearly exhausted.

Ding Wu will not be out for another half month, and the matter of collecting debts is not too urgent. He does not mind taking on a job when business comes knocking, as the debt he went to Longxi to collect requires quite a bit of money.

You should have said that earlier, then we could continue our conversation," Wang Jingzhe said, looking down at the money in the other person's hand.

The young man swallowed hard, calmed himself down, and said: "I took the subway from here a week ago. It was around 9 PM when I entered. I had quite a bit to drink at a class reunion that day. After entering the subway station, I urgently needed to use the restroom, so I found a toilet. After I finished, I was so tired from drinking that I fell asleep while sitting on the toilet..."

Wang Jingzhe sighed and said, "Haven't you heard of the strange occurrences in the subway of the capital?"

Wang Qing said with a mournful face: "When I discovered the paper money, I was so frightened that I nearly died. I knew that I might have encountered something supernatural, so I checked online about the subway in the capital and found out that after 11 PM, it is best not to board the train once the subway station closes. However, I thought it might just be a minor supernatural encounter and nothing serious. Unexpectedly, that night while I was sleeping, I had a dream where the woman selling maps appeared. She asked me where the map was."

"I am not a monk..." Wang Jingzhe said with a sneer

You take a look ... ... '' Wang Jingzhe opened his collar, revealing two blood-red fingerprints on his neck, deep crimson in color, looking extremely frightening

Encounters with evil spirits and ghosts can sometimes be completely avoided. Take Wang Qing for example; if he had not purchased the map from that woman at the time, the subsequent discovery of the paper money would not have occurred. Similarly, if he had not engaged in conversation with the woman during his dream, he would not have been entangled with her.

At this point, as Wang Qing continued to speak, his lips trembled: "After this woman came over, she held a stack of maps of the capital and asked me if I wanted to buy one. I initially said no, but she just stood there in front of me without leaving. I thought to myself that I was the only one in the subway, so I might as well buy one. I asked her how much it was, and she said five yuan. I didn't have any change on me, so I gave her a fifty yuan note, and she gave me forty-five yuan in change. After buying the map, she left. I waited for two more stops until I reached my destination, put down the map, and got off the subway. After returning to school, I took a nap. The next morning, when I went to the supermarket to buy something and took out the money, I discovered that the forty-five yuan the woman had given me yesterday was gone. Then, it all turned into paper money..."
