Chapter 039
I was furious and was about to walk over to see who it was.
But as soon as I moved, a pair of hands suddenly reached out from the gap under the compartment.
I looked at the hands and they were very small, but also very thin and long, and looked very deformed, not like human hands.
As soon as he stretched out his hands, he suddenly raised them up, with his palms facing me. Only then did I realize that there was an eye in the middle of his palms, which were bent with a smile, and his voice continued to come from the other end of the cubicle.
As soon as I saw this ghost thing, I got furious and yelled at him, "Get out!"
His hands suddenly trembled, his eyes closed, and he shrank back in an instant. The laughter also stopped immediately. Apart from my breathing, nothing could be heard in the toilet.
I wiped the tears from my face. After venting my feelings, I felt less depressed.
After walking out of the cubicle, I turned around and looked at the side, and found that it was empty. I didn't know where the ghost had gone.
I sighed, washed my face in front of the hallway door, and looked in the mirror on the sink, only to find that I looked even more disheveled than I had imagined. Not only was my hair disheveled, but even my face and clothes were covered in blood and dirt. Walking down the street like this would really scare a lot of people.
I walked out of the bathroom and found the girl with ponytail standing outside the door. As soon as I saw me coming out, she smiled at me and asked, "Are you okay?"
I took a deep breath, shook my head, and said nothing.
She said, I understand your feelings. After all, everyone has times when they can't bear such things. I've seen it a lot. So try to think more positively now. Once your friend recovers, it will be over.
I hurriedly asked her, how is Lin Tian?
She said that the surgery was already underway and all that was needed now was the family members' signatures and payment.
I hesitated for a while and asked her if she could do me another favor?
Although this is only the first time we met, I think this girl is quite capable.
She laughed and said, I know what you want to say. I heard some of what you said on the phone just now. I can help you delay the money issue, but you can't cheat!
I quickly said no, I would go get the money right away!
She said okay, your friend can’t run away even if you leave, so just sign the contract first and then go.
I followed her to find a nurse and signed my name on the surgical agreement. I was extremely grateful to this girl. As for how to thank her, I didn’t have time to think about it. What mattered now was Lin Tian’s life.
I left her a phone number and told her that she could use it to find me, and that her name and everything could be found by checking the bill.
But after thinking about it, the other party might not feel safe, so I took out my ID card and prepared to deposit it with her.
But the girl said, there is no need to be so troublesome. If you go out like this, no one will dare to take you. It will definitely waste a lot of time. I can just take you back to get the money.
I was stunned for a moment, thinking that this girl really has no guard against people, and I couldn't help but ask her, look at me like this, aren't you afraid that I am a bad person and will kidnap you in exchange for medical expenses.
She chuckled and said, "No, I just heard you crying. You don't look like a bad person."
I felt a little embarrassed and had to say okay, "Please take me back first."
Lin Tian’s luggage is basically all in the old house. I have to go back and look for it carefully. And Ding Ding... his body is still at home.
Thinking of Ding Ding, my mood fell to the bottom again. The girl saw that I looked unhappy and asked me what was wrong.
I covered it up and said it was okay, let's go.
She took me to the car, I told her the address, and she drove me to the door.
I got out of the car and she followed me. I was afraid that she would find out about Ding Ding's affairs, so I hurriedly stopped her and said no, she looked at me strangely for a while and said okay, then you hurry up, I'll wait for you at the door.
I said "hmm", walked to the door, looked over to see that she hadn't followed me, took a deep breath, and slowly pushed the door open.
But when I looked inside, I was stunned!
The yard was empty. There was nothing there except the human-faced tree.
Tintin's body... is gone...
I stood at the gate in a daze, staring at the human-faced tree quietly. Then something suddenly came to my senses and I walked in.
The yard was very clean. Apart from the fallen leaves on the ground, there was nothing left over from the previous funeral.
I took a quick look around before I bravely entered the house. But the house was also very clean, as if someone had cleaned it. Even the runes that Tintin had drawn on the table and the floor were gone, and the dust on the cabinets and the floor was swept away. It was as if someone had lived there all year round, which was very strange.
I went through almost every room and found that everything in the room was neatly arranged, but I didn't see Ding Ding's body. Our things were still in their original places and no one had touched them.
I even went upstairs and got a ladder into the attic, and there was nothing there except my grandfather's stuff.
The whole room was very quiet, but this kind of silence was frightening. I hurriedly rummaged through Lin Tian’s bag and saw that his wallet and everything were inside. Then I changed my clothes. After all, I looked a little scary now.
In addition, I checked Tintin's things and found a lot of items he used to exorcise ghosts. I thought about it and decided to take these things away. Although I don't know how to use them, I still have to go to the hospital and I don't have any confidence in that kind of place. I just hope there will be some things in it that someone like me who knows nothing can use.
But when I arrived at the door, I found that the girl with the ponytail had already gotten out of the car and was chatting with a woman with her back to me beside the car. She was smiling and I didn't know what she was saying.
When she saw me come out, she turned her head and waved at me, saying, "Your name is Tan Xi, right? Someone is looking for you here, and the address is your home."
I was very confused. I basically don't live in my hometown. If someone was looking for me, why would they come here? How did they know I was back?
I glanced at the woman with her back to me and felt that she looked familiar, but I couldn't remember where I had seen her.
When she heard what the girl with the ponytail said, she didn't look back at me, but just stood there silently, as if waiting for me to come over. But I had doubts in my heart, so I just stood at the door and didn't go out.
The girl with ponytail gave both of us a strange look, walked around the woman with her back to me, came to the middle, and asked me what was going on and if there was anything I hadn’t finished dealing with.
I didn't answer her, but just looked at the woman, with an inexplicable bad feeling in my heart. Unexpectedly, she suddenly laughed and said, "Yes, Tan Xi, is there anything you haven't finished? Why don't you come out?"
When I heard the voice, the sense of familiarity became stronger, but before I could remember who it was, she turned back!
That face seemed like my nightmare. I felt my heart thumping and stared at her.
This woman is Xie Ning! She actually followed me here?
When I saw her, I was very confused. Since my uncle was in cahoots with them, he should know that the blood amber was only half of the solution. My uncle had given up on his own, but why did Xie Ning still chase after him? Could it be that the effect of the blood amber only exists on humans and has no effect on ghosts?
But compared to all these, what concerned me more was that the girl with the ponytail could actually see Xie Ning's existence. Only then did I realize that a ghost like Xie Ning, just as Tintin said, had gone beyond the boundaries of ghosts and reached the level where he could be called a monster.
I subconsciously shouted at the girl with ponytail, telling her to run!
But she didn't understand what I meant. She just looked at me in confusion and didn't make any other move.
I can't say it directly, but I just hope that Xie Ning will have some sense of propriety on the street and not attack people randomly.
But I was still too naive. How could a woman like her who came and went care about other people's opinions? As soon as I finished speaking, a long tongue stretched out from behind her head, like a whip with eyes, moving up and down behind the ponytail girl.
Seeing the tongue getting closer and closer to the girl with the ponytail, I became more and more anxious and kept shouting at her to run away. But this girl became even more confused and looked at me strangely with raised eyebrows.
I didn't have time to explain to her, so I quickly rummaged through Ding Ding's bag and found a small bag in the side bag. I touched it and it was full of powder, like incense ash. I was delighted, Ding Ding was well prepared indeed.
But before I could take the incense ash out, Xie Ning's tongue had already come behind the girl, and with a fierce roll, he lifted her up from the ground!
I only heard a cry of surprise, but it was not the scream I imagined. The girl was held by the tongue, and when she turned around, her expression changed instantly. She looked at Xie Ning behind her in horror, her expression completely dull. It seemed that she had never thought that there would be such a strange creature in the world. But she was a person who often went in and out of the hospital, and she was much calmer than the first time I encountered a ghost. Apart from being a little bit unbelievable, she did not show any special fear.
Xie Ning smiled coldly, looked at me and said, Tan Xi, come out and give the blood amber to me, and I will give this little sister to you.
I was stunned for a moment, then I remembered that the blood amber was not on me at all. I crawled out of the coffin, and all my thoughts were on Lin Tian's life and death. I didn't have time to care about these things.
I looked and grabbed a handful of incense ash with one hand, and said to Xie Ning, the blood amber is not with me, put her down and I will take you to find it.
Xie Ning obviously didn't believe what I said. She still smiled coldly, looking extremely charming, but the long tongue behind her head did not stop. She grabbed the girl and wanted to put it into her mouth, saying, Tan Xi, you are not qualified to negotiate conditions with me.
At the end of her words, her voice turned cold and she shouted, "Send the blood amber over here!"
I was very confused by her words. From what I knew about Xie Ning, she even dared to fight in the street. Although the street was very quiet, it was possible that she would be seen by others. It was not impossible for her to rush over and snatch it from me. But now she threatened me with that girl, as if she had some reservations.
