Chapter 007

I let out a long sigh and collapsed onto the ground; although I had done nothing, I truly felt exhausted

I forced myself to stand upright, glanced around, but everything was still shrouded in darkness, and I could see nothing clearly

Can I say this is the same? I have encountered ghosts a few times and managed to survive, perhaps in the future I can summarize my experiences and learn to thrive alongside Lady Jiu. With your outburst, I feel like I could lose my life at any moment

After washing up, I looked in the mirror and couldn't tell if it was due to the previous car accident and hospitalization or because I had encountered too much dirt in the past couple of days, but my complexion was indeed very poor, with bloodshot eyes. I really looked like someone whose time was running out.

If someone could see me right now, they would probably take a picture and post it online, likely making it to the homepage

I sat on the sofa contemplating for half a day, and finally decided to prepare another bowl of noodles. However, this time it was not for myself, but rather to lure the snake out of its hole

I furrowed my brow and lifted the lid of the bowl. To my surprise, the noodles inside were gone! Only some remnants of broken noodles and a little broth remained

I know I have encountered something strange again, and it is happening in the place where I feel the most at ease, my home

On the sofa I had previously sat on, there was a dark figure sitting upright, moving about in a groping manner, seemingly engaged in some activity. In less than a second, he noticed me as well and suddenly stood up, walking towards me

I waited for a while longer, confirming that there was no more movement outside the door, before I cautiously crawled forward a step, gently pulled the door open a little, and peeked outside.

I said I would wait for you, even in death

Lin Tianchu stood there, motionless, with no indication that he intended to leave

I truly cannot bear to be alone. I am afraid that if he leaves, something terrifying will happen again, and those feet I just saw standing outside the bathroom definitely do not belong to Ding Ding

I turned around and saw him holding the report that Brother Wang had given me. I immediately felt a surge of anxiety. However, not wanting him to notice, I could only cautiously take it from him. Then he glanced at me before driving away.

I boiled water and soaked the noodles in a bowl. Then I went to the bathroom to wash my face

By the bathroom door, in that narrow gap, there stood a shadowy figure. From the posture, it seemed to be staring directly at me

I was taken aback for a moment, thinking to myself, does this ghost still need lighting? Then I heard a voice say, what are you doing on the ground?

I stood up in a hurry, not daring to breathe a word.

But upon thinking about it, I felt something was amiss, so I hurriedly asked, "How did you get in here?"

After waiting for a while, I couldn't tell if it was my illusion or not, but I felt that the bowl covering the noodles seemed to be slightly tilted. I thought to myself, could it be that the noodles in the bowl have inexplicably disappeared again? Just as I was about to step out from behind the door to check, I suddenly heard a loud bang, and everything went dark in front of me, leaving me unable to see anything

I searched around but still found no abnormalities. Looking at the fragments on the ground, I felt a deep sense of confusion. I believe I am not mistaken, yet it is unlike the previous times when I saw the shadow of a ghost.

Although Lin Tian meant well, his words were quite unsettling to me. However, seeing that he was willing to leave made me quite happy, as I felt that my efforts in educating him were not in vain

I am aware that my current situation is quite dire; I have a severe headache and my eyes are somewhat blurred. Moreover, I am lying on the ground, afraid to move, let alone run.

Ding Ding reached out and pulled me, saying, "I thought no one was home at your place; I didn't expect you to be hiding in the bathroom"

I looked at the report in my hand, neither could I throw it away nor could I keep it at https://www.hetushucom.com. Although it was given to me by Brother Wang, most of the content was prepared by me before I took leave, and I lacked the energy to create another one. Unable to do anything else, I had no choice but to take it home.

I made a funny face at the mirror in a self-entertaining manner, yet it still could not alleviate the anguish in my heart

I glanced at that package; it is not mine and should have been brought by Ding Ding.

Upon seeing my phone light up, that thing suddenly ran away with a series of quick steps

This person squatted in front of me, looked at me for a while, and asked, "What are you doing lying on the ground holding a toilet plunger?"

He stepped in a bit more, and I still felt uneasy, gripping the object in my hand tighter, ready to take action at the first sign of trouble

I listened, and although I do not fully believe it, I feel somewhat reassured

I was stunned for a moment, slapped my own face, and took another look inside, only to find that even the remnants of the noodles had disappeared

He let out a sound of "ah" and said, "Yes, it is me"

Lin Tian fell silent for a moment before saying, "Alright, I will leave first. You need to think it through. If anything happens, call me. Even if you are dying, you must hold on until I arrive before you go."

Ding Ding was taken aback and said, "No, this is the noodles I was eating. Didn't you see me eating these noodles just now when you were peeking from behind the door?"

Lin Tian snorted, saying that it would be good if Madam Jiu confiscated you

I walked upstairs and opened the door. The house was still empty, just as it was before I left, which reassured me somewhat

I check the time; it is almost 7 o'clock. My stomach is growling with hunger. Fortunately, I have the habit of having a late-night snack, and I still have some instant noodles stocked at home. Occasionally, I think it is quite pitiful; while others enjoy lavish meals, I can only nibble on these nutritionally deficient items at home. However, given the current situation, I can only make do with what I have.

The sudden darkness of https://m.hetushu.com startled me so much that I almost cried out. I took a step to escape, but in my panic, I forgot that I was hiding behind the door, and with a bang, my head collided solidly against the door panel

I slowly turned my head to look around, but there was nothing in the room except for the usual furniture, and there was no place to hide. I took out the small knife from my pocket; clearly, the notion that swords can ward off ghosts is unreliable, but at least it can bolster my courage

I suddenly collapsed to the ground, my eyes tightly shut, my hands clutching my head, in pain as if it were about to split open

I glanced at the instant noodles that had just been placed on the table, noticing that the bowl covering it had been moved aside, and only half of the noodles remained inside.

I am busy, so you stay there and do not leave

I held my breath, not daring to make a sound, yet I could still hear my heart thumping continuously.

He sighed, then turned around and picked up the instant noodles, preparing to enjoy a good meal

Ding Ding pursed his lips and said, "There was one just now; I tidied it up after I came in, and now it's gone"

One look, and it truly feels like all hope is lost

I do not know what is happening, I can only hope that the thing outside the bathroom has already left

Suddenly, a faint light illuminated behind me, weak but sufficient to see the surroundings clearly

I was so frightened that I hurriedly crawled towards the bathroom, not caring whether the floor was clean or not, hoping that a door would suddenly appear in the wall for me to escape through. But before I could crawl very far, I heard the sound of the door behind me creaking open.

But now, holding the end in my hand, it feels light and gives no sensation

I was momentarily speechless; I had just seen the shadow sitting on the sofa, and it was him eating noodles here. I have no idea what this kid is thinking. He thought I wasn't home, and suddenly ran in, saw the bowl of noodles on the table, and without knowing anything, dared to shove it into his mouth. Is it a characteristic of people in this line of work to be so thick-skinned?

Ding Ding chuckled and said, I saw that your home was dark and quiet, thinking you were not there. I also do not like waiting for people, so I just smashed your door lock.

Although I cannot see it, just the thought of having such a ghostly thing around me makes me feel uncomfortable all over

I am puzzled; could it be that even ghosts can feel shy

At that moment, I suddenly heard a series of loud noises coming from outside the bathroom, thumping resoundingly, sending chills down my spine. I could only try to curl up my body, seeking to feel a bit safer within myself

But the candlelight flickered, making me even more paranoid. I pulled him and said, "Ding Ding, take a good look, is there a ghost in this room? I just saw one!"

I took a new bowl and placed it in the position of the previous broken bowl. Then I hid in the bathroom, leaving the door half ajar to create a narrow gap, and quietly peered from behind the door at the noodles on the table

As soon as I picked it up, I sensed something was amiss. I had previously covered it with a bowl to prevent it from cooling, and it felt quite heavy in my hand

I leaned in slightly to take a look and tentatively asked, "Is it Ding Ding"

My hand slipped, and the bowl fell directly to the ground, shattering with a loud "bang"

After speaking, I opened the car door for him and let him sit inside

Ding Ding said, it might have tripped, wait for me to go take a look

Upon seeing this, it truly took my breath away

I dared not look back, and I did not know what I had touched in my hand; it was very hard, so I just grabbed it. If that thing really wanted to do something to me, at least I would have a weapon to fight back. Even if it were useless, I would still try my best to stab it a few times.

Having confirmed that there was nothing in the living room, I cautiously made my way around the bedroom, kitchen, and bathroom. As the sky outside gradually darkened, I turned on all the lights in the room.

I took a moment to compose myself, walked over to him, patted his shoulder, and said, "Alright, brother, I know you care about me, but you really shouldn't get involved in this matter. I also need to go back and think it over; given the current situation, it might very well be that I inadvertently provoked something."

The sound continued for a long time, then suddenly stopped

I held a small knife and crouched down, much like a newcomer in the village, my gaze sharp and vigilant, fearing an ambush by the Eighth Route Army.

I asked Ding Ding, what was that just now, and why do you like eating instant noodles

Ding Ding let out an "oh" as he used the light from his phone to guide me out of the bathroom, and then he rummaged through a bag on the floor for a while before finding a candle to light it up

I waved my hand and said, "That will be all then." Just as I was about to leave, he suddenly called me back and said, "You forgot your things."

After enduring the pain with great difficulty, I managed to straighten up. I took out my phone from my pocket, turned on the screen, and looked ahead using the faint light.

When I got out of the car, my legs were still weak. Lin Tian slammed the car door and said, "Look at you, scared just from a car ride, yet you still pretend to be tough and don't want me to worry. If you crash into a ghost a couple more times, you might as well meet God directly.

However, each step I take is quite difficult, and although I can put on a brave front in front of Lin Tian, when faced with the reality, I am still just as afraid.

As soon as I heard it, the voice sounded somewhat familiar. I quickly turned around and saw a person standing by the door, using their phone to take a picture of me. They were backlit, so I couldn't see who it was, but I knew it was definitely not Lin Tian

I have said what I needed to say, Lin Ye. I won't engage in this any further. I have also arrived home, so you can go ahead and eat or do whatever you need to do. In any case, I have made my point clear. With your temperament, even your mother can't manage you, and I have no way to handle it either

I did not dare to look up, fearing what terrifying thing I might see. All I could see was a pair of feet in the crack of the door, very small, unshod, with gray skin
