Chapter 5, Is There a Ghost

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

The middle-aged man received his mobile phone, and Xia Tianqi was not surprised at all, as it was possible for either the bookstore staff or the police to return the phone to him

Amulets ... ... amulets ... ... I remember there were many ... ... where the hell are they?

Ah? Have you gone traveling? Then why did you hang up his QQ?

Fortunately, there is still one left that can be used for self-defense

Upon exiting, the first thing that Xia Tianqi did was to go to the nearest internet café.

Trembling, he lowered the toilet seat, and in a loud voice, Xia Tianqi recited "Amitabha" as he returned to the bedroom. Upon returning, he immediately began rummaging through his luggage, anxiously searching through his suitcases.

The sound of the door, reminiscent of a nightmare, continues unabated, as if it will never cease until the door is finally opened

After hanging up the voice call with his mother, Xia Tianqi quickly took a couple of bites of noodles, then got off the computer and left the internet café, subsequently taking a taxi to the Golden Office Building

Xiatianqi remembered hearing a classmate say that ghosts are afraid of evil people. If one day you really encounter a ghost, just act a bit fierce; it doesn't matter whether it is a person or a ghost, just scold it to death.

Xiatian Qi does not want to meet an untimely end like this; his vibrant and colorful life has only just begun. He has yet to possess all the wonderful things such as luxury cars, mansions, and goddesses. How could he possibly resign himself to dying here

Just when Xia Tianqi was panting and leaning against the wall, thinking that everything was going smoothly, a sudden sound of the toilet flushing came from his bathroom

Although it seemed to have returned to normal, Xia Tianqi did not dare to let his guard down in the slightest. To be on the safe side, he used all the movable items in the room, including tables, chairs, and benches, as tools to block the door.

Holding a bowl of hot noodles that felt somewhat scalding, Xia Tianqi casually found an empty machine and sat down.

Xiatian Qi originally intended to toss one or two talismans into the toilet to see if they would have any effect, but he never expected that at the moment he lifted the toilet lid, a pale arm suddenly reached out from within and directly grabbed his left shoulder

This bag is called the Qiankun Bag. The amulets his grandfather gave him, except for the ones he lost, are almost all stored here. In the past, these items, which he regarded as worthless trash, now appear to be comparable to a bag full of glittering gold.

Since the objects seen through the peephole are relatively distant, it is absolutely impossible for anything to be in close proximity.

Every time it is mentioned, you acknowledge your mistake, yet you never make any changes! What are you looking for from your grandfather?

Seeing the amulet truly had an effect, Xia Tianqi's heart, which had just been suspended, finally settled down, but he did not dare to linger in the bathroom and hurriedly escaped from it

Hello, you little rascal, are you still listening to me

It was the face of an elderly woman, covered with countless repulsive pustules.

Succeeded

In the summer, Qi was busy carrying the Qiankun bag to the bathroom, and then, gritting his teeth, he lifted the lid of the toilet

Wow ... ... ! ''

What is the matter

"I am listening." Upon receiving this bad news, Xia Tianqi's mood immediately soured, and he asked listlessly:

He believes that from now on, if he hears any bastard say that there are no ghosts or monsters in this world, he will undoubtedly make that bastard die as far away as possible.

Yesterday, a man called me and asked if I was your mother, saying that I should contact you to pick up your phone. He gave me a location, called Golden Office Building, Level A33. He wants you to go there to get it. Do you know this place I just mentioned

He confirmed that the bathroom was safe, and Xia Tianqi walked over to the door to take a look through the peephole... Until he was certain that all threats had been eliminated, he did not move the items that were blocking the door, and then he took all his savings and fled the rental apartment

Of course, provided that these amulets are truly effective

How could Xia Tianqi possibly be unaware, as this location is precisely where he interviewed for that company, so the person who called his mother is most likely that middle-aged man

I am looking for my grandfather because I have something urgent to discuss. This time, he did not lie.

Alright, Mom, I won't say more for now. I'm going to get my phone. If Grandpa comes back, please make sure to notify me immediately...

Ah!

After listening to his mother, Xia Tianqi suddenly remembered that his grandfather resolutely refused to use a mobile phone out of fear of mobile phone radiation. If anyone had a funeral to inform him about, it was always done through the landline at home

Bang!

My most, most, most beautiful mother

Ahーー ! ''

A chilling sensation instantly spread throughout his body, and in that moment, Xia Tianqi let out a loud scream, disregarding everything else, and directly grabbed a handful of protective talismans from the Qiankun bag and threw them into the toilet.

Xiatianqi was so frightened that he sat down on the ground, and he was already convinced in his heart that the "woman" who appeared in the cat's eye was definitely not human

His original plan was to go to Xinhua Bookstore to retrieve his phone, but upon considering that his phone might have already been confiscated by the police or taken by someone else, he ultimately decided to first go online to contact his grandfather.

Knock knock knock

Because he did not know whether that ghostly thing would appear again, Xia Tianqi did not dare to sleep all night. However, it is uncertain whether his talisman played a role, as nothing else happened until dawn.

Cut it out, keeping secrets from your mother, what a poor review! I can't be bothered to deal with you, your grandfather is not home, he has gone on a trip

At the moment the amulet fell into the toilet, a surge of blue light emanated from the toilet, and the hand claw that was gripping Xia Tianqi's shoulder recoiled sharply as if it had been electrocuted

After some thought, Xia Tianqi felt it necessary to make another trip, at the very least to retrieve his belongings

He thought that his grandfather would be too busy playing cards to pay attention to him, but unexpectedly, as soon as he sent the message, his grandfather answered the call. However, the person on the other end was not his grandfather, but his mother.

In the absence of any viable options, he could only resort to treating a dead horse as if it were alive. It seems that if it were not for his considerable courage, anyone else encountering such a bizarre and terrifying situation would have likely been scared out of their wits long ago

Such a bizarre scene has completely distorted Xia Tianqi's previous worldview; perhaps there truly are ghosts in this world

Tianqi, what have you been up to lately, you rascal? You haven't even called your beautiful mother. Tell me, have you found a girlfriend? You little brat, have you forgotten your mother now that you have a wife... By the way, is she good-looking? How is her figure? Where is she from...

The blood-red hue that once filled the cat's eye has vanished, replaced by...! ... a face that is within arm's reach!

In a hurry, Xia Tianqi rushed into the bathroom, looking down at the toilet that was continuously making a flushing sound, and then felt a strong palpitation.

Dying in such a shabby rental apartment is already ridiculous enough; if the body were to be stuffed into the toilet... Xia Tianqi felt that even as a ghost, he would be too embarrassed to show his face, unable to hold his head up high

After escaping from the bathroom, he initially intended to place a protective talisman in every corner of the rental apartment. However, he deeply regretted that, due to his previous carelessness, only the last talisman remained in the bag.

Xia Tianqi cautiously moved his left arm. Although it was somewhat painful, fortunately, it did not significantly affect his mobility

Because the originally white toilet has now completely turned blood red

It is uncertain whether the act of pretending to be a villain had an effect, but the door, which had been shaking incessantly, finally fell silent. After a moment of anxious waiting, Xia Tianqi peered through the peephole once more to glance outside.

As for those originally placed in the Qiankun bag, in a moment of fear, he impulsively threw them all into the toilet.

The cluttered room is completely bathed in the warm morning sunlight, as calm as if nothing has ever happened

Afterwards, Xia Tianqi nervously entered the bathroom. After a careful inspection, he found that the toilet had returned to normal, with only a layer of what appeared to be amulet ashes floating on top.

However, the current situation does not allow him to think too much, after all, it seems that something unpleasant is about to crawl out of his toilet

In other words, he can no longer rely on his grandfather recently

Knock knock knock ... ... ! ''

That works, I will call him then

Your grandfather asked me to help him with the registration upgrade

How did you know that my phone was lost

Logging into his QQ account, Xia Tianqi was pleasantly surprised to find his grandfather online, so he didn't even have time to eat his noodles and hurriedly sent a voice message.

STOP! Stop! Mom, I am sorry. I feel extremely guilty for not keeping in touch with you recently. However, right now, I need to find my grandfather

Unless the door is smashed to pieces, I will absolutely not open it! If there are grievances, they have their source; what does it mean to come to me for settlement!

Where did your grandfather get the phone ... ... By the way, speaking of the phone, it just occurred to me, did you lose your mobile phone?

The eerie sound of water being drained caused Xia Tianqi to shiver uncontrollably. The corpses that had been blocked in the toilet last night, each with a face marked by pain, grimness, and covered in blood before death, now vividly emerged in his mind.

In the summer, Qi turned over almost every suitcase, but fortunately, hard work pays off; he found a canvas bag printed with the black character "Kun" in one of the suitcases.

Unless ... ! ... that woman originally resided in the cat's eye !

With a vigorous rub of his own cheek, Xia Tianqi felt an overwhelming sense of fatigue and soreness throughout his body, especially in his left shoulder, which ached intensely, marked by a deep, bone-visible black handprint.

Xia Tianqi leaned against the door with a face full of cold sweat, then he turned around and cautiously directed his gaze once again at the peephole

It really hurts me to death

I will definitely change next time," said Xia Tianqi, and then hurriedly continued to speak:

No!

The "woman" in the cat's eye has disappeared, and the corridor seems to have returned to normal, once again shrouded in darkness
