1034 God Was On My Side
Helian Wei Wei spoke unhurriedly, “Ghosts also have their daily routine and would be asleep during the day. How can I find the person if they’re sleeping?”“But...but if we go up there, it’ll be difficult for us to come back down again.” Tao Zi really hoped that Helian Wei Wei would abandon the idea of going upstairs. At least, we’re standing on the ground downstairs, so we can simply run away to escape if anything horrifying happens. Where can we flee if we go up?
After hearing this, Helian Wei Wei stopped and replied, “I charge by night, and an extra fee would be needed for each appearance. Of course, you can also choose to pause the mission, but you will face two consequences. Firstly, the evil spirits will possess you in half an hour at 12 p.m. again. Secondly, you’ll have to ask me for my service again, and the fee will be double. Nevertheless, I think you would be very concerned about the first problem.”
Tao Zi was really troubled by the first outcome, as she could no longer go on like this, not even for another day. After she was possessed every day, she would wake up in the morning without knowing what she did last night, where she went, or even who she met.
“Don’t stop, let’s go up.” Tao Zi gripped her hand tight and finally made up her mind.
Helian Wei Wei and Baili Jia Jue continued forward, but Tao Zi was absolutely stricken with fear. She suggested in a raspy voice, “Can I walk between the two of you? The lady boss should not be afraid of these dirty things as she knows how to exorcise them. Can you let your assistant walk behind me instead?”
Baili Jia Jue raised his eyebrows, as a glimpse of cold menace glimmered in the bottom of his dark, profound eyes.
Tao Zi did not know that the look would be even more terrifying than any of the evil spirits here.
The devil’s wrath had always been elegant and blood-curdling.
Helian Wei Wei took a look at the Baili Jia Jue and said, “Go to the back, we must put customers first.”
“Certainly, my beautiful master.” His Highness seemed to be addicted to this game. He bit Helian Wei Wei’s ear lightly, before putting her down and walking to the end of the line.
Tao Zi felt much safer and calmer with Baili Jia Jue behind her and Helian Wei Wei at the front. Even if there was any danger, her risk of peril would be the lowest among them.
As the whole research building was too quiet, the sound of their footsteps seemed to reverberate deafeningly through the entire floor.
The second floor was gloomier than the first floor, but it was not as humid.
When Tao Zi finally relaxed a little, she heard Helian Wei Wei say, “Miss Tao Zi, you really don’t know who the evil spirit is?”
Tao Zi’s eyes flickered feebly as she replied, “I saw it before but we did not talk. After all, it’s not our professor, but the professor’s family member.”
“Professor’s family member?” Helian Wei Wei snickered quietly and growled, “I hate people who lie.”
Tao Zi was a little upset when she heard the remark. “Lady boss, you’re here to catch ghosts, not to pry into other people’s privacy.”
“There’s always a reason for a ghost to haunt a human.” Helian Wei Wei looked up at her and said, “Do you understand? She won’t be here for no reason, or even abandon her chance to be reincarnated, just to possess you. You’ve known her since the beginning, haven’t you? Otherwise, you address it as a ‘she’ when we first talked about it.”
Tao Zi froze in astonishment. Then, she reluctantly replied, “Yes, I do know her, but I don’t understand why she keeps haunting me, I’m not the one that killed her.”
“The reason she keeps haunting you...” Helian Wei Wei looked at Tao Zi, and noticed that the prayer beads that were wrapped around her reflected a faint Light of Buddha when they moved. “It’s because you have a ghost contract. You have made a contract with her, but you didn’t know it was her when you agreed to it. However, in the realms of the living and the dead, as long as one party made a wish and the other agreed to it, the contract between them would be finalized.”
Tao Zi was completely befuddled as she asked, “What contract? I have never meddled with those supernatural things, I don’t even have an Ouija Board...” Suddenly, Tao Zi seemed to realize something and said, “I did make a wish, but I just said it casually and I didn’t do anything at that time. When I passed through the school building and met my senior, I...”
“You want his attention or to put it bluntly, you want him.” Helian Wei Wei nonchalantly continued, “He must be quite outstanding and already have a girlfriend, but you still felt displeased. You always feel that the girl is not worthy, so you made a wish. After that, you did get the boy, but you will lose yourself at night. Even he has begun to be suspicious of you, isn’t it?”
Tao Zi’s eyes quivered in surprise. “How do you know?”
“I can see it from your character and the look in your eyes.” Helian Wei Wei chuckled and added, “As for the others, I simply deduced them from your previous behavior, such as why you’re so afraid of this female ghost.”
Tao Zi grabbed at her long hair in fear, although her ashen pale face seemed gentle and pure. “She wants to kill me and replace me! Since you’ve already known so much, why didn’t you exorcise her back right away?”
“I will surely deal with her.” Helian Wei Wei smiled again menacingly and added, “Since you don’t want to tell me about it, I’ll let her tell me in person.”
After saying this, a silent breeze brushed against them, causing Helian Wei Wei’s kasaya to flutter momentarily. Then, a shadowy figure gradually emerged behind Tao Zi.
When she saw the silhouette, Tao Zi let out a gasp of horror, as she fell heavily onto the ground in shock. Her fingers trembled violently, as she shuffled anxiously backward, trying to distance herself from the harrowing apparition.
The figure was about fifty years old, and would be about the age of Helian Wei Wei’s mother if she was alive.
She intensely glared at Tao Zi with venomous contempt, as if she was staring at a pile of foul garbage. A wispy black aura was emanating from her body, while her face had lost its youthful look, appearing gaunt and dark. When she opened her mouth, it revealed a Stygian, gaping pit that emitted an eerie, blood-curdling sound.
That was the language of the ghost that normal humans could not understand.
When Helian Wei Wei waved her kasaya again, instantly changing the noise into a comprehensible language. “I treated you so well because I was utterly deceived by you. I knew that studying alone in a foreign land is not an easy task for a lady, so I boiled soup for you when you were sick, and even requested my Old Tan to take care of you well. However, you repaid my kindness with evil cruelty. It’s disgusting enough that you slept with my husband, but you even dared to call me while doing it, to let me listen...listen to both of you...”
The figure could not continue on. Her eyes were menacingly cold and poisoned with blazing spite. ” Fortunately, God was on my side, as I overheard you making a wish that you want to steal someone else’s husband. Well, I shall fulfill your wretched desire! You like to sleep with older men, right? I will make sure you sleep with one every day!”
