Chapter Seven, The Sinister Door of Death
No, this woman definitely has issues
Cauliflower said, "Qin Ge, why the hell don't you believe me? I just recently took on a master and am currently learning. Trust me, you should break up with this girl quickly, otherwise you will definitely be doomed"
I recalled the deceased hair salon attendant, her body entirely black at the time of death, which was quite eerie. No wonder this incident is linked to my transmission of this strange illness to her
Black? I glanced at my own hand, and my heart suddenly skipped a beat.
In just a few days, the blackness has expanded from my fingers to my entire palm; at this rate, I will inevitably become an African black.
Cannon! I called out to him
In a hurried rush back to the room, I removed the bandage and was taken aback; my entire left palm was charred black like coal, cold to the touch
Doctor Qin, are you alright? Tao Hong, charming and alluring, wiped her mouth with a tissue and began to undress
It is often said that you can replenish what you consume. I found a restaurant and ordered a side pot chicken, which I enjoyed with some beer. Just as I was drinking, the sound of police sirens filled the street, and the hair salon across from the restaurant erupted in chaos, with many people gathering at the entrance, pointing and discussing.
Dead person? I muttered to myself, could it be that girl I met yesterday afternoon
I have been to that hair salon; the last time the owner was particularly arrogant. Hehe, I didn't expect that he would run into such big trouble so soon, serves him right
The landlord saw that I had no intention of letting him into the house. Upon a second glance, I immediately understood and lewdly smiled, saying, "With - pictures - and - books, Xiao Qin, you are not being considerate.
The doorbell rang; it was Tao Hong, just as usual. While she was busy, I took out my phone and pulled up the photos I had taken. Sure enough, there was a hazy figure glowing with a white light.
Since I fell ill with this strange disease, which causes me to suffer from painful seizures whenever I come into contact with other women, it was not until the appearance of Tao Hong that I unexpectedly regained my masculine nature. Is this not strange
Then you can rest for the night, and I will come again tomorrow night
Cauliflower's voice deepened as he said, "You better take me seriously; I'm discussing something important with you. I suspect that woman is a ghost"
I am feeling a bit upset, Cauliflower. I don't appreciate what you just said. Are you trying to mock me late at night
Then he lowered his voice and said, a woman died in this shop
I haven't asked yet, Guo Dapao said with a smirk, "Brother Qin, this woman died in a strange manner"
I held onto him and asked one more question, what is so strange about it, please elaborate
Upon seeing me, the landlord looked me up and down, and with a cigar in his mouth, exclaimed in surprise, "Xiao Qin, it's only been a few days since I last saw you, why do you look so disheveled?"
I am utterly exhausted; under the force of this woman, there is simply no room for resistance
Guo Dapao waved his hand and said, "Brother Qin, I'm busy right now, so I'll take my leave. Let's arrange to meet another day."
I said, "I'm fine, I just need to wash up in the restroom; the blood is affecting the mood." After I finished speaking, I rushed into the bathroom
Looking at the bloodstains, I felt a wave of nausea. After rinsing with water, I finally opened the door and walked out
Dong dong
Is this still me? Is this still the charming and suave Qin Jian with a star-like face? This is simply a person on the verge of death
My heart sank; this bird isn't coming to remind me about the rent again, is it
Peach Blossom glanced at me, you are just too tired, resting for a night will surely be fine, take a good rest, I am leaving
Peach Pink, I may not be able to recover in a short time. How about you come back after a while?
I said, it's fine, I'm afraid he will sit inside and not leave, so I partially block the door to prevent him from entering the room
Guo Dapao spotted me and walked over with a smile, "Qin Ge, it's been such a long time since I last saw you. You look so downcast; just look at your face, it's as pale as a ghost.
I dialed several times but could not get through, and I started to panic. Damn it, how could things fall apart at such a critical moment
A faint smell of blood permeated the room, and I knew it was the bloodstains that flowed from Tao Hong's mouth
Slap! I suddenly gave myself a hard slap. Cauliflower was right; even if Taohong is not a ghost, she is at least not normal. A woman without body heat has been entangled with me for so long, and I actually had no sense of vigilance at all
I put down my chopsticks and followed the crowd over. Before long, I saw several police officers carrying a stretcher coming out from inside. Among them was someone I recognized, named Guo Dapao. This guy is a scoundrel who preys on the vulnerable; anything he targets is bound to end badly.
I offered him a cigarette and asked, "What's going on? You little rascal, you aren't eyeing that fat woman, are you?"
Guo Dapao took a puff of his cigarette and said, "Qin Ge, you underestimate me too much. A shabby shop like this, I haven't even taken a second glance at it."
While he was speaking, his gaze fell on my hand. Qin Ge, what happened to your hand? Did you get injured?
I said, you must be out of your mind; it seems you are going crazy thinking about ghosts. With all your years of experience, do you even know how to catch a ghost
The landlord peered through the door, chuckling, "Hey, you little rascal, hiding things so tightly, you must have something beautiful in there. Let me take a look"
Get lost, with that brain of yours, even if you have a master, it's still a pitfall, I can't be bothered to waste my breath on you
I made a gesture to the peach-red figure, signaling her to wait before leaving. When I opened the door, it turned out to be the landlord
I quickly interrupted him, saying, "Alright, I will find someone for you tomorrow"
The more I think about it, the more afraid I become, a layer of cold sweat breaks out all over my body. Ever since the appearance of the black spots, everything has become unusual. What should I do
"Doctor Qin, what are you doing in there? I am completely undressed and feeling very itchy." Tao Hong shouted flirtatiously while knocking on the door.
I suspect that this brat Cauliflower is definitely bored and wants to make a fool of me. A rich second-generation like him, whose mind is filled with nonsense, even seeks a master to learn ghost-catching. Isn't that just a case of being overindulgent and aimless?
After regaining my composure, I realized that the figure that was neither human nor ghost was actually myself. I finally understood why Guo Dapao said I looked like a ghost now
I spent the entire night wondering how this dark spot on my hand came to be What exactly happened on the night I went to the graveyard with Cauliflower
The eternally unchanged clothing, the bleeding mouth, the cold body, the insistence on not using protection, the punctual appearance at midnight every night, never staying overnight, along with some of the things she said, all of these made me increasingly uneasy, sending chills down my spine
Guo Dapao glanced around and quietly told me that the deceased looked as if they had been soaked in a black dye vat, completely blackened.
Throughout the entire day, I kept my phone off and slept soundly. It was only after 8 PM that I went downstairs to prepare something to eat. Considering that Tao Hong would definitely come over again for a casual encounter in the evening, I decided to treat my body well.
Just as I was about to leave, the doorbell rang
It is still unclear whether she is a human or a ghost; I dare not offend this woman. If she truly is a ghost and were to strangle me, that would be too unjust.
Damn, it must be because I found him annoying and added him to the harassment prevention list, which made this guy angry
Every time I am with her, I feel a sense of being drained and faint, and I must remind myself that I am only 30 years old, a seasoned player in the game of love. I feel so empty that I am not even comparable to a 70-year-old man.
I trembled as I dialed the number, but it is temporarily unavailable... and * picture * book...
Cauliflower is anxious, Qin Ge, all the photos you sent me are just glowing phantoms. How could a normal person's photo turn out like a phantom? Based on my years of experience, you must have encountered something supernatural. If you don't believe me, just take a look at those photos you took.
It's done, what should I do now? My scalp is tingling, and Tao Hong is urging me outside again. Regardless of whether she is human or ghost, I definitely cannot get along with her today. If this continues, I fear I will really be drained by her.
The reflection of myself in the mirror shows a face of ashen gray, lips darkened, eye sockets pitch black, and my eyes devoid of life, resembling those of a dead fish. It reminds me of the time when my grandfather passed away, looking just as tragic.
What happened, tell me! As soon as I heard about the suspicious death of this girl from Henan, I felt a sense of dread thinking about how I had once been with her
Why are you so slow? I'm almost dying of anxiety... Tao Hong grabbed me and dragged me along
Since my fingers turned black, I always wrap them in gauze when I go out, to avoid scaring others. "It's fine, Dapao, you go ahead and get busy. Let's make plans to meet another day."
Then he said, "Xiao Qin, you rascal..."
Everything is too unusual; there must be a problem with this rosé.
Ah! I took out my phone, just about to call Cauliflower, when suddenly a figure with a gaunt face radiating a bluish light appeared in the mirror across from me, nearly scaring me half to death
"I need to use the restroom." I forced myself to shout, at that moment my heart was about to leap into my throat, and I began to breathe heavily.
