Part 19
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this. But what else can we talk about? I don't understand anything else. Who told us, young and old, to be educated in Marxism, Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory and the important thought of the Three Represents, and not to believe in ghosts at all? Once we see a ghost in real life, we will be at a loss immediately. What's more, we don't know what that woman is. Our impression of ghosts may come from Hong Kong ghost movies. Those are people with blue faces and standing on tiptoe three feet off the ground. These characteristics are not similar to that woman in any way! Apart from seeking help from the old methods that our ancestors are sure of, what else do you want me to do? How do I know she is so difficult to serve? We have used two of the three major religions in the world and none of them work. Do you have to force me to find a copy of "Qi Men Dun Jia" to practice? I can understand that kind of book."
"Forget it then."
"Forget it? The boss's wife handed the factory over to you, and you're just watching over it like this. Are you going to be able to open the factory in a few days?"
The thought of that woman rushing out with her hair disheveled, threatening to start arresting people the moment we open the office door and start working again terrifies me. "What should I do? I'm just a mortal. These days, there are no masters on Mount Laoshan, and no magicians on Mount Maoshan. Even the Heavenly Master on Mount Longhu has been destroyed, and now I've run into this thing. What do you want me to do?"
"Maybe with more people we can come up with something. Why don't you tell the boss about this?"
"Don't tease me. You want the boss to fire me?"
"That's right."
We stared at each other for a while, and Xiaoguo suddenly exclaimed, "I got it," he said.
"Male or female?"
"What? It's not that you have a child, it's that you have an idea."
"Tell me about it, we're just short of good ideas now."
"We've tried all these tricks and they don't work, it must be because we don't treat the disease properly."
"That's right, if the treatment doesn't work, the problem is definitely that we don't treat the disease properly."
"So, we should consider it from another angle, there will be hope."
"What angle?"
"Why don't we find out what she's thinking?"
"What?" " Think about it, does she have anything to say to you."
I thought about it for a long time, "No, she has never expressed this to me. Apart from hatred and sarcasm, her only thought is to harm me."
"Maybe she died unjustly? Maybe she just wants you to avenge her?"
"Why are you so mean to me if you want me to avenge her? You have to be humble when you ask for help, right?"
"But she is a ghost! At least she is a ghost, right? You can't argue with a ghost about politeness, right? Besides, when have you ever heard of a ghost being polite to a human? And, what if you look like the person who wronged her? Oh," he looked at me with a peculiar look, "could that woman be your former lover who was killed? Tell me the truth, did you know her before? Don't try to scare me."
"It's already this time, and you're still making fun of me. I really don't know her."
"But she may never forget your face until she dies..."
"Stop talking nonsense. Have you watched too many Hong Kong ghost movies? It's all nonsense. How can my face seduce a decent woman? You should think about something else!"
"What do you want me to think about?"
"I'm asking you, what did she do in my room last night?"
"To scare you!"
"Bullshit, I was sleeping at that time, what could she use to scare me? She has always wanted to harm me, we all know this, but why didn't she do it when she had such a good opportunity last night? As long as she wanted to, she can do it. As long as she strangles my neck, ten Zhang Yuans will be gone. And you were sleeping so soundly at that time, you couldn't help me at all."
"Yes, this is strange."
"If you can figure this out, maybe the problem will be solved."
"Let me think about it, yes, I understand. That day we told her in front of her that she couldn't leave the office and that she wouldn't show up when others were present. So she deliberately left the office and showed up when you were there, but the reason she didn't harm you was because she didn't have enough ability. Maybe leaving that office did affect her ability..."
"How did it affect it?"
"Picture frame, are you right? She was too far away from the picture frame, and her ability was weakened, so she didn't dare to harm you. This is just a guess, not necessarily true, but she couldn't leave the office a few days ago. Yes, her ability is growing, and one day, when she comes out at night, she will be more capable of harming you."
