Chapter 006
How can I describe that expression? The faces of vixen in anime flashed through my mind. Yes, that kind of sinister and malicious smile.
I thought it was extremely unnatural for a child to have such an expression, and I couldn't help but think of Tintin's words. I panicked and cursed inwardly, thinking that this kid's bad mouth might have proven me wrong. Would I really run into ghosts wherever I go?
Xiao Tan, what's wrong with you?
Brother Wang saw that I looked strange and patted me on the shoulder. All my attention was on the kid, so I never expected that he would suddenly do this!
I was so scared that I immediately screamed! As a result, everyone in the waiting room looked at me.
I quickly covered my mouth. Brother Wang pulled my clothes from behind. He probably couldn't stand so many eyes staring at me. He whispered, "Xiao Tan, what's wrong with you?"
I didn't dare say anything and just responded quietly, "Brother Wang, look at that shirtless man, is there a little girl lying on his back?"
Brother Wang adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose, squinted his eyes and took a look, and said, "Oh, it's true. It's weird."
I finally breathed a sigh of relief. Since Brother Wang could also see it, it meant that the child was probably not a ghost.
But then I thought about it and felt that it was not right. The paper figurines and the old man in the hospital were all seen by Lin Tian and I. Could it be that whoever was close to me could follow me and see things I shouldn't see?
The people watching from a distance saw that there was nothing interesting to see here between Brother Wang and me, so they gradually shifted their gazes and turned to look at the drunkards.
I recalled my previous experience, thinking of the old lady on the bus, and it seemed that ghosts could not reflect their shadows in things like mirrors. In this bus station, there were cars parked everywhere, and there was no shortage of mirrors.
As soon as I thought of this, I felt the urge to get to the bottom of it. I turned around and said, "Brother Wang, wait for me."
Before he could react, I ran to a coach and found a good angle to see the reflection of the waiting hall through the glass above.
Seeing that I was acting nervous and confused, Wang followed me and stood beside me, looking at me and then at the glass, still confused by my behavior.
I looked for a long time. Although I could see the scene in the waiting hall from here, there were many onlookers standing around those men. It was very inconvenient to see whether the child really existed.
I was very puzzled. Seeing that I looked like I had gained nothing, Brother Wang asked, "Xiao Tan, what have you been thinking about since just now?"
I glanced at him and said casually, "No big deal," and then turned to look at the window.
Then, I was completely terrified!
This is a feeling I have never had before. It's like someone poured a basin of cold water on me, chilling me from head to toe!
Some people say that when people are afraid, they lose the ability to think, and their bodies cannot even move, and they forget to shout and escape!
This is my situation now!
I saw the projection on the car body. The one in front of me was my own car. But in front of Brother Wang, there was nothing but the shadows of other cars. He was like air, with no sense of existence in front of this car.
Brother Wang, it’s actually a ghost!
I stared at him motionlessly, and he also stared at me from behind his glasses. Then he took a few steps forward, trying to pat my shoulder.
I subconsciously moved to the side. He raised his hand in the air for a moment and asked me, "What's wrong with you?"
I didn't know what he was trying to do by pretending to be harmless, and I felt that the only thing I could do was to stay away from him. I slowly opened my mouth, and even my voice was trembling.
I said, Brother Wang, you...you wait here for a moment, I'll make a call!
As soon as I finished speaking, before he could react, I ran out of the waiting hall, looking back from time to time, and saw that he was still standing there, looking at me in some confusion.
I didn't have time to care about other things. I ran out of the waiting room, reached out from my trouser pocket and took out the cell phone, and also took out the paper business card that Ding Ding gave me. I was secretly glad that I didn't throw it away in a hurry .
My hands were shaking uncontrollably and I entered the number three times before I was able to dial the number completely.
For the first time, I felt that the wait for the beep was so long. It was so long that I felt like I had lived a lifetime and was about to die of old age.
The call was finally connected. Ding Ding's somewhat lazy voice came from the other end of the phone. He asked me, "Who are you?"
I yelled, "Are you sleeping? I'm about to die, and you're still sleeping!"
I didn't expect him to react so quickly. Although we had only met once, he was able to recognize my voice.
He said, it's you, what's going on, have you seen a ghost?
I nodded quickly, then immediately realized that he couldn't see it, so I said "hmm".
He asked, where are you now?
I told him the address of the company, but unexpectedly he said, "I can't find it. Why don't you come and pick me up?"
I regretted it as soon as I said it, thinking how could I trust such an unreliable guy. I cursed into the phone, if I had time to come pick you up after encountering such a ghost, I would be a super god, why do I need you!
The person on the other end of the phone said "hmm" twice, which means he is right!
I thought I couldn't talk nonsense with this guy anymore. Just as I was about to hang up the phone, I looked back and found that Brother Wang had come out. He saw me and ran towards me.
I was so anxious that I wanted to cry. Why are you chasing me after I ran away?
Suddenly I heard someone calling me from the front, saying, Tan Xi, what are you doing?
I looked up and saw Lin Tian's car parked opposite. He was sitting in the car and waving at me. I was overjoyed and ran towards him in two steps. I opened the car door and said, "Drive quickly! Drive quickly!" without explaining anything.
Seeing that I looked strange, Lin Tian perhaps realized the problem, so he started the car without asking any more questions .
I lay on the seat, not caring how awkward this was. I just kept looking at Brother Wang, and when I saw him standing by the road, watching our car go away and not chasing us, I felt relieved.
After walking two streets, Lin Tian suddenly asked me, "Did you see dirty things again?"
I nodded without saying anything.
He asked, "How could you be so unlucky? What did you meet this time?"
I said, he is my colleague, you have met him once or twice, Brother Wang.
Lin Tian was obviously much more surprised than I was. He leaned over and said, "That guy died? When did it happen? I never heard you tell me about it."
I just remembered that I didn't know when Brother Wang died. Was it when I was away from the company for the past few days, or was he always like that?
The latter situation seems a bit exaggerated. If he was a ghost, then so many people in the company would know him and no one would suspect him.
So, it was during the few days I was in the hospital. I suddenly remembered what the leader said, saying that some bad things happened to the employees again. I thought he was talking about me, but now it seems that he was talking about Brother Wang. But this is so obscure, will it kill me if I say it out loud?
Even though I have known Brother Wang for more than a year, I still couldn't help but feel scared when I suddenly found out that he was a ghost. Even though I felt a little sad about his death, it was overwhelmed by the shock.
I held my phone and wanted to find a colleague to ask about the situation, but I realized that the call I had just made to Ding Ding had not yet been hung up. The call lasted for more than 20 minutes. I tentatively called hello, and Ding Ding's voice came from the other end of the phone immediately, saying, "Are you not dead?"
I yelled, even if you die, I will not die!
Lin Tian asked, who are you talking to on the phone?
I'm talking about the son with Mrs. Jiu.
He snorted disdainfully and said, "You're not my mother, why do you have to deal with those people?"
As he said that, he snatched my phone away, hung up the call, and threw it back to me.
I didn't continue to hit him. It would be useless to hit him anyway. Damn it, he's not reliable at all.
I flipped through the phone book and found a colleague who I could get along with, so I called her and asked her if something had happened to Brother Wang.
She asked me in a surprised voice, "You don't know yet? Brother Wang went out the night before yesterday and was robbed. He fought with the man and was stabbed. The murderer has not been caught yet. It's pitiful. He is left with his wife and children at home."
I kept saying "oh oh" all the way, hung up the phone, and told Lin Tian what happened. He didn't say anything. I asked him again, as a colleague, do you think I should go to his house to pay my respects?
Lin Tian glared at me and said, "You're stupid. You've already met him in person, and you still want to go to his house to die."
When I heard that, it made sense. I could run around in an empty place, but I probably wouldn't be able to get out of his house.
We stopped in the city, it was time for dinner, Lin Tian pulled me aside and said that a store had just opened there, the food there was super delicious. But I didn't want to get too close to him, the previous experiences and what happened to Brother Wang today made me believe Ding Ding's words completely. Anyone who stayed with me for a long time would probably be infected by my bad luck.
I thought for a while and said to Lin Tian, "I have no appetite now, let him eat by himself. It's almost time for me to go home, it's safer to stay at home."
Lin Tian's face darkened and he didn't speak for a long time. Then he suddenly yelled at me, "I'm not afraid of your nagging. Don't you know that eating alone is boring? If you have something to do and I hide alone, are we still brothers?"
I was very touched and felt that it was worth making this friend. But this is not an ordinary thing, not that I am short of money and you give me a dozen for free, nor that I offended someone and you pick up a knife to help me get revenge. This is a ghost, no one can control it and you don't know when your life will be gone. He is thinking about me, so I naturally can't be so selfish.
I hurriedly explained that it was not about whether you wanted to hide or not. Now was an emergency and I didn't want to be a burden to anyone. If I was going to die one day and I was still cursed, that would be a real bad fate. If you want to treat me as a brother, then sending me back first would be enough. When I am fine one day, I will come to you for dinner and drinks.
Lin Tian stopped talking, one hand on the steering wheel, his eyes unblinking. I don't know what he's thinking, and I don't dare to ask. He's born stubborn and never listens to advice. Otherwise, with his mother's daily instigation, any normal person wouldn't continue to be friends with me.
He was silent for a while, then suddenly started the car and rushed out. I was so scared that I quickly fastened my seat belt and said, "What are you doing, kid?"
He pursed his lips and said, "I'm going to take you home, why are you talking so much nonsense?"
I said you should at least say something, I almost died when the car rushed out. I almost died of the ghost but I almost fell into your hands.
Lin Tian rolled his eyes at me again and said, "You're annoying!"
It didn't take long for the car to arrive downstairs of my house. It hardly slowed down along the way. It was the first time I took such a fast car in the city, and I was really scared. Many times I almost had close contact with other cars at the intersection. Fortunately, we finally arrived alive.
