Chapter 64: Changing Dormitories
The pit on the ground was not big, only about two meters square and less than two meters deep. The environment inside the pit was clear at a glance. There was no place for the little ghost to hide. He only saw two corrugated pipes nearly half a meter thick going in and out of the pit. Tan Xuan was speechless. He didn't know where the ghost of Mr. Li ran from, and he couldn't chase him even if he wanted to. The municipal pipe network was a network, and no one knew where he ran from to somewhere else.
It was easy to jump down, but it was troublesome to jump up. The vertical pit didn't even have a place to grab, and the soil around it was also loose. It took Tan Xuan half a day to get back to the ground.
"You're lucky you ran so fast, you bastard. Next time I meet you, I will make you regret becoming a ghost..." Tan Xuan patted the dust off his body and returned to the car cursing.
"Did you kill that guy?" Xiao Di asked anxiously as soon as Tan Xuan returned to the car. She didn't see clearly what changes happened to the ghost just now, but she saw clearly what Tan Xuan did to hit people. She knew too well Tan Xuan's behavior of fighting over a disagreement.
Jiang Yingyue stared at Tan Xuan blankly. Everything was too unbelievable for her. At this moment, she could only worship Tan Xuan. Good guy, no matter whether his actions just now were impulsive or not, the act of a human fighting a ghost was a heroic act. Who normal person would dare to do that? When seeing a ghost, they would not even have time to run away.
Tan Xuan shook his head and sighed, "No, I wanted to catch it and find out their purpose and the background behind them, so I didn't dare to use heavy hands. But I never expected that this guy would have evil intentions as soon as he became a ghost, and he actually escaped."
"Then what should we do?" Xiao Di asked in disbelief. She didn't quite believe that any ghost could escape from Tan Xuan. After all, the ones she had seen not only failed to escape, but also eventually not even a trace of them was left.
"What to do? Just leave it alone." Tan Xuan said unhappily. There were many things he couldn't figure out, so he didn't have the energy to explain them to Xiao Di one by one.
Xiao Di did not get angry with Tan Xuan because of his tone. He was more convinced that Tan Xuan did not catch the ghost and the ghost ran away. He continued to ask: "Then they are so unscrupulous to attack ordinary people like Jiang Yingyue, and no one is doing anything about it?"
Tan Xuan snorted, "Someone is in charge."
Before Xiao Di and Jiang Yingyue could feel happy, Tan Xuan immediately poured cold water on them, "It's just that those guys are too inefficient. There are too many supernatural things waiting for them to deal with. When they come to investigate this matter, it's hard to say whether they can get to the bottom of it. I can't guarantee whether Jiang Yingyue has been harmed by a ghost by then. Moreover, those guys each have their own principles. It's hard to count on them!"
Seeing Tan Xuan shaking his head, Jiang Yingyue felt a chill in her heart and she felt like crying again.
"What shall I do?"
Now it's like she's crying out to heaven and earth for help but no one is helping her. She's on the verge of total collapse.
"It's okay. I'm here for you." Tan Xuan patted his chest and said.
"Hey!" Xiao Di's eyes suddenly lit up, his face full of joy, "Tan Xuan, isn't your friend Sister Quan'er a ghost killer? You can ask her for help, it's just right for you to get rid of ghosts and save people."
Tan Xuan shook his head. "It's easy for Sister Quan'er to deal with ghosts, but it's unrealistic to ask her to save people. She only deals with ghosts, not people. She won't do anything beyond her scope of business. You can't let Sister Quan'er guard Jiang Yingyue all day long. She's usually very busy. Everyone should do their job and fulfill their responsibilities. As a friend, I shouldn't make things difficult for her."
"Ah! What should I do then?" Xiao Di remembered that Sister Quan'er had said something similar in front of Yu Jing last time, and the light in his eyes dimmed instantly.
"Now we can only deal with them as they move. I want to see what else they can do."
As he said that, Tan Xuan turned his head and squinted at the person sitting behind him, pretending to be relaxed and comforting: "Don't worry, I'm here with you. Just do what you need to do and put your heart at ease. I promise that they won't hurt you at all."
After saying that, Tan Xuan started the car, bypassed the pit in front and continued driving.
Jiang Yingyue looked at the profile , and for no reason she felt more confident.
Jiang Yingyue still lived in the same house. It was her second time staying there, but she still felt a little strange. After all, she didn't feel anything the first time. It was Xiao Di's first time to come to Tan Xuan's house. She didn't expect that Tan Xuan lived in such a big house by himself. Compared with her crowded little nest, this place was simply a mansion.
Xiao Di lived in the study. She was not picky about where she lived. Although there was no bed in the room, the tatami was large enough and this room faced the sun. However, she couldn't understand why Tan Xuan offered up the master bedroom to entertain guests.
After taking a shower and going to bed, no matter whether they could fall asleep , the three of them returned to their respective rooms.
It was dawn, and when Tan Xuan came out of the room, Jiang Yingyue and Xiao Di were already waiting in the living room, neatly dressed.
"Hey, you got up so early, how did you sleep last night?" After Tan Xuan finished his awkward opening remarks, he noticed that Jiang Yingyue had a pair of dark circles under her eyes, obviously she didn't sleep well.
"I slept okay. I'm very particular about my bed." Jiang Yingyue lowered her head shyly.
"I slept well. I fell asleep as soon as I lay down." Xiao Di replied with a smile.
"Hehe..." Tan Xuan smiled but didn't say anything. He couldn't help but think of a sentence he had seen on TV before, "People who are heartless have good sleep quality."
Xiao Di didn't know what was going on in Tan Xuan's mind, so he pointed to the kitchen and said, "I cooked some instant noodles this morning. You can eat some first. After you finish eating, go and send Jiang Yingyue to work. I 'll go back if there's nothing else to do. I got some materials last night, so I'll process them a little more..."
"Oh." Tan Xuan agreed and went into the kitchen. There was indeed a bowl of instant noodles on the dining table, and empty bowls and unwashed pots in the sink. It seemed that the two of them were not polite and had already eaten before he came out.
The noodles were overcooked, and it was obvious that the person who cooked the noodles was not good at housework. Moreover, it had been served for quite some time. The instant noodles showed signs of lumps, and there were egg flowers of different sizes hanging on the noodles. There was no egg in the bowl, and it was obvious that the egg flew away when it was cooked. However, Tan Xuan still ate it voraciously. Tan Xuan was very picky and not picky. Since others were kind-hearted, he could not take advantage of others' kindness. It was enough to be able to swallow it. He just didn't know which expert made it. He didn't know if that man's ancestors would smoke in the future and could taste the delicious food they made every day.
After dinner, Xiao Di left. It was rare that he didn't take a ride again. Tan Xuan took Jiang Yingyue to her company. Of course, he also took Jiang Yingyue's luggage. As long as the company arranged it, Tan Xuan would be responsible sending it to Jiang Yingyue's new dormitory. Although Tan Xuan agreed to let Jiang Yingyue stay at his house for a few days, after this night, I don't know what Jiang Yingyue thinks. Just now when she was having dinner with Tan Xuan, she said that she would change the dormitory today. Tan Xuan did not try to keep her, fearing that people would misunderstand him for having bad intentions. He just reminded Jiang Yingyue that she might still be in danger.
After arriving downstairs at Jiang Yingyue's company, Tan Xuan parked the car and followed Jiang Yingyue upstairs. He wanted to go to Jiang Yingyue's company to see if the ghost of Sister Wang was waiting here. Jiang Yingyue's company was a construction company with a decent scale, renting a whole floor of an office building.
Jiang Yingyue pushed open the door of the office and let Tan Xuan in, then followed behind Tan Xuan and asked in a low voice: "Do you see anything unusual here?"
Tan Xuan looked around the office. Jiang Yingyue's and her colleagues' office in the business department was not small, but there was no one in the office. All the seats were empty, and only the office supplies on the table indicated that there were people there.
Tan Xuan's brows slightly furrowed and then gradually relaxed. He shook his head slightly and pointed to a seat in the back of the office and asked Jiang Yingyue, "Is that where your colleague who died yesterday sat?"
"Yes." Jiang Yingyue was surprised and nodded vigorously, then asked nervously: "Did you find out something? Could it be that she..."
Jiang Yingyue couldn't help shivering. Yesterday she heard Xiao Di say that Tan Xuan could see things that they couldn't see.
Tan Xuan shook his head, "It's okay, don't be afraid, she is not here now."
Jiang Yingyue breathed a sigh of relief, but Tan Xuan immediately said, "She was here last night and wandered there. There is a yin energy there."
"Ah!" Jiang Yingyue screamed and quickly covered her mouth.
"She really came?"
"Yeah." Tan Xuan nodded, then comforted him, "You don't need to be afraid. Ghosts don't like to appear during the day. She may be revisiting the old place. It's impossible for her to linger here every day. And from the scale of your company, there should be a lot of people. Once the Yang energy is strong, she will be even more afraid to come out. As long as you don't work overtime at night, you won't be in danger."
"Yeah?"
"You should talk to your boss about changing dorms first . Don't worry about the rest."
"Well, this is my seat. You sit here and rest for a while." Xiao Di pointed to a seat near the door and said to Tan Xuan, then quickly walked out of the office. She wanted to go to the leader's office first to see if the leader had arrived.
Tan Xuan did not sit in Jiang Yingyue's seat, but came to Sister Wang's seat, first walked around that seat for a while, and then sat down on the seat.
"You're still not at peace even after death. What do you want?"
Tan Xuan muttered to himself, leaned back, stretched out his feet and put them on the table, then took out a cigarette, lit it and put it in his mouth, without inhaling, but slightly closed his eyes, letting the white smoke rise above his head and slowly spread in the air.
The office door opened and a person walked in. Tan Xuan did not move, nor did he even open his eyes, because it could not be anyone else. Except for Jiang Yingyue and the seat he was sitting in, no one had moved in the entire office recently.
"Why are you sitting in Sister Wang's seat?" Jiang Yingyue saw Tan Xuan sitting in an indecent posture and immediately turned around and closed the office door. When she saw that Tan Xuan still had a cigarette in his mouth that had been extinguished for who knows how long, she frowned and said with a hint of complaint: "Why are you still smoking here?"
Tan Xuan opened his eyes, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and a straight string of cigarette ash fell on his face. Tan Xuan shook his head and let the ash fall to the ground. When he sat down, his eyes returned to normal, with a deep and sincere look.
