Chapter 053
I looked at him, speechless, and felt that I had seen a strange sight.
He suddenly looked towards the old house next to me and asked me, "You didn't come out from here, did you?"
I nodded blankly and said nothing.
He showed a surprised expression on his face and said, "Wow, you are so brave. There is a human-faced tree in this house. We are always scared every time we pass by here. You actually dared to run in. You are lucky that you were not eaten."
I still had a puzzled expression on my face, but seeing that this man had no ill intentions, I wanted to find a topic to ask him, what is the living soul you just mentioned?
The man looked at me in confusion and said, "Don't you know?"
I shook my head and said that I had died not long ago and didn't know much about these things.
But as soon as I said this, he suddenly burst into laughter and said something like he just died, how can you still be alive!
My head buzzed and I was stunned for a long time before I uttered a few words, saying, "I... am not dead yet?"
He folded his hands in front of his chest, nodded, and said, "Yes, the so-called living soul is like you and me. People are still alive, but their souls have escaped from their bodies and are wandering around the world like wandering souls. No, it should be a ghost. I can't explain it clearly."
I suddenly felt happy. If I wasn't dead, would I still have a chance to survive?
I was so happy, as if I had met a savior, that I quickly grabbed him and asked, "Can you let me live?"
He looked at me with contempt and said, "Why do you need me? Just put it into your body and it will be fine."
As he spoke, he frowned slightly and clasped his hands, saying, "But I see that you don't understand anything. You must have encountered some accident that caused your soul to leave your body. I don't know how long you have been wandering. If your body is no longer able to function, you will be really dead once you die."
I thought about it, and after my body came out of the mirror, Lu Yao took me away. Probably because he saw that I was not dead, he took me to the hospital for emergency treatment.
But my soul is here, and I will definitely not wake up over there. Maybe I am lying in the hospital like a vegetable now. I don’t know how Lu Yao will deal with it.
I was anxious, so I quickly said thank you and turned to leave.
Unexpectedly, the man called me and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? Get in the car and I'll take you there."
I really couldn't connect this huge ghost face with the car. I hesitated for a moment, and before I could agree, the ghost face's brows frowned even tighter. He couldn't turn his head, so he could only look at the man with squinted eyes and said, "Little brat, I see you talking to yourself here for a long time. Where on earth do you think you can live?"
The man had already walked to the car, but suddenly pulled the ghost face's ear, causing him to look even more horrible and begging for mercy.
The man then let go of her hand and said, "Why are you pretending not to see? Why are you trying to be cute?"
I was curious. It was strange enough that my uncle couldn't see me, but if even this ghost face couldn't see me, then what was the difference between me and air? I would be ignored by ghosts wherever I went! But it was because of this, perhaps it was the reason why my mother let me be a ghost without worries, as my uncle said. Although I am not really dead now, if all ghosts can't see me, then why would I be afraid of Xie Ning and his gang?
Seeing that I was dazed, the man shouted at me and said, "Are you going to leave or not? We have other things to do."
I nodded and hurried to follow him. Having a means of transportation is much better than running around the city by myself. Besides, I was very anxious at the moment and just wanted to survive as soon as possible.
I walked in holding the ghost face's ear, and suddenly I didn't dare to move when I stood at the door.
Only then did I realize that the car was actually quite spacious, with a row of seats on both sides. In addition to this man, there were seven or eight ghosts sitting on both sides. Fortunately, none of them noticed me, which made me feel somewhat relieved.
The man turned his head to look at me, then looked at the other ghosts in the car, laughed, and said, "What? Are you scared? You are no different from them now, what is there to be afraid of?"
I was a little embarrassed and shook my head and said no, I just couldn't adapt to it for the time being.
I walked in and closed the ear-like door. I wanted to find a place to sit down, but then I thought better of it. Standing next to this man made me feel safer.
The man looked at me and didn't say much, just asked, "By the way, what's your name? Where is your body now?"
I told him the name, and I guessed that it might be in Lu Yao's family's wishes. Although I was not sure in my heart, I subconsciously felt that I should start looking from that place. If it really doesn't work, I will go to Lu Yao's house to look.
The man memorized the way, looked up and shouted at the ghost face. The ghost face outside said "oh" and rushed forward in a flash.
I was a little curious about this, but it was not easy to ask directly. I could only ask, you just said that you are also a living soul, don't you worry that your body will die and you will be a ghost forever?
He looked out from the eyes of the ghost face, which looked like a car window from inside, and said, "What's there to be afraid of? This is what I do. It's the same as being a human or a ghost. What's more, I always carry my body with me. Can't you see it?"
I leaned toward the back of the car and realized that behind those ghostly figures, there was actually a person lying in the last row, motionless, as if he was asleep, and the clothes he was wearing were the same as that man.
I was puzzled, even Ding Ding and my uncle had never been so carefree. I became more curious about him, and after thinking about the words, I still didn't know how to ask him about the face.
He seemed to see through my thoughts and asked me why I was so restrained. I work in this field and although I don't like passengers to be too lively, I don't want them to be too rigid either.
I hurriedly asked, "What business? Are you a ghost catcher too?"
He was stunned for a moment and said, "From your tone, it seems that you know a lot of ghost catchers. But I'm different from them. I don't catch ghosts, I send them away!"
This sounds quite fresh to me, at least I haven't heard of this statement so far.
He stretched and said this was to send away ghosts. Maybe you don’t understand it, but you must have heard a similar saying.
I asked what it was?
He smiled evilly and said, "Drive the corpses!"
I suddenly realized that even though I was a novice who had never been out of the house, I had heard a little about the idea of corpse-driving. It seemed to be very popular in Xiangxi. When I was surfing the Internet, I could see some ideas about corpse-driving from time to time. I was curious and clicked on it to take a look.
In ancient times, corpse-carrying was a way of sending corpses of people who died in other places back to their native lands. However, with the development of technology, this kind of thing has disappeared. Now it is regarded as a strange topic for people's entertainment.
I looked at the ghosts in the car again, thought for a while, and said, you mean to send these people... no, to send these ghosts home?
He nodded, smiling even more, and said that the young man was teachable. Some people die in a foreign land, longing for their homeland, but unable to find the way back, and then they have to rely on me, who is merciful and compassionate. We let them get on the bus and send them back. Although you are a little special, you are also one of them.
As he spoke, he patted the car body and his ghost face howled a few words. He smiled evilly again and said, "This is called a ghost car. Don't be fooled by its scary appearance. It's actually kind-hearted. It's a ghost that was attached to the car body after a person died in a car accident on the way home. It's specially used to send wandering souls home."
It really broadened my horizons. I feel that all the ghosts and monsters I have encountered so far are different, in all shapes and sizes, and each has its own characteristics.
I also smiled and said that corpse chasers have to be paid to survive, so you won't send us back without any reward, right?
He said that was it, otherwise how could I live. But I don't need your things, someone will send them to me.
Seeing that he didn't say it clearly, I knew that he was trying to hide it, but since this involved other people's privacy, I didn't dare to ask too much.
But through the conversation just now, I suddenly remembered that in the ghost stories I read when I was a child, there was a type of people who were just like this. They traveled between the Yin and Yang worlds, working for the ghost world in the human world, doing things that ghosts could not do, and then their souls left their bodies to ask for their benefits from the strange servants.
I guess this man might be in a similar situation, but I don't know if there really are ghost messengers and kings of hell in this world.
We hadn't said a few words before we had already passed half of the county. The ghost car was going really fast. If I were the driver, I would have driven like crazy. After a while, the ghost car suddenly stopped with a buzzing sound. All the ghosts in the car swayed. If I hadn't quickly held on to the seat next to me, I would have almost flown out.
The man finally managed to steady himself, and slapped the car while cursing, saying, "What are you doing? This is very scary!"
After saying that, he leaned forward and looked outside, then suddenly exclaimed, "Are we talking about the hospital?"
When I heard this, I felt somewhat happy, pushed the ears of the ghost car away, and walked down directly. But when I looked up, I found that this was not Lu Yao's hospital at all, but another one in the city, which seemed much smaller.
The man also walked down with me. At first he looked very calm, but after looking up for a while, his face suddenly changed and he said, "My goodness, what the hell is going on in this hospital?"
Guiche's face was also full of surprise, and he said to himself, "I was just frightened by the breath, so I stopped without saying a word!"
I looked up towards the hospital and didn't feel anything unusual.
The man said to me, you are not familiar with the aura of these evil spirits, it is normal that you cannot feel it, there are two very scary auras in this hospital.
He paused, and then continued, "I have seen many powerful ghosts, but I have never felt this way. I even couldn't help but want to rush towards one of them, but instinctively felt that it was very scary..."
As soon as he finished speaking, I suddenly realized that all the wandering souls in the car stood up, and it seemed that they wanted to walk towards the hospital.
I patted him on the shoulder. He stared blankly at the hospital building. He was suddenly awakened by my pat. He cried out "Oh no!" and said that there was something there that would attract ghosts!
After he finished speaking, he pulled me towards the car, as if he was trying to escape. But when I heard this, I suddenly had a sudden realization. The aura he was talking about must be the blood amber. Lu Yao knew that his father would not let me go, so for my safety, he must have sent me to another hospital!
I looked towards the hospital building and saw that only a few rooms had lights on. But I couldn't help it and turned around and wanted to run .
But as soon as he moved, he felt something was wrong. He seemed to have heard that there were two streams of that terrifying aura inside!
What else is there besides blood amber?
