Chapter 9: It’s a problem

The whole body was like a bolt of lightning, with the hair standing on end. This was the feeling that Master Chang had at the time.

The voice was so clear, but not clear. It was clear that it was ringing in his head word by word, but it was not clear that it was entering his ears like an illusion, making people think that they really heard it?

But in any case, the situation is now very clear. You can doubt your ears, but you can’t doubt your brain. Who would be sitting in the toilet, and suddenly think of a child saying, “Play with me?”

The voice said it was a child, but it wasn’t exactly that. Mr. Chang couldn’t describe it, but he said it was a soft voice, even more childish than a child.

After this sentence, the scratching sound on the board next door became even more obvious, as if something was really rushing over to play with him.

At this point, Mr. Chang couldn’t hold back any longer. He ripped open his collar, took out the statue, and began to curse: “What’s going on? Can’t people even relieve themselves in peace? What do you want? I’m not afraid! Whoever doesn’t let me relieve myself in peace, I’ll do my best to make him uneasy!”

At that moment, Mr. Chang was really angry. The more he cursed, the angrier he became. At that moment, he seemed to forget that he was in the toilet and the terrifying scenes. He only wanted to die.

I don’t know if it was because of his cursing or the statue in his hand, but after all that fuss, he finally managed to solve the problem of excretion. Here, he dared not stay any longer, hastily wiped his butt a few times, pulled up his pants and ran.

The matter should have ended here, but Master Chang said, “I deserve it. After I ran out holding my statue, I seemed to hear a soft voice laughing behind me, so I turned around and looked. You two, first of all, do you believe me?”

Did you see something? You have to ask us so seriously.

In fact, I have seen all kinds of strange things. I was just constantly assessing the situation in response to his words. There was no question of not believing. As for the crispy meat, how could his knowledge be lacking? In the face of his question, our answer was yes.

Old Chang got the answer he wanted and let out a sigh of relief. He said, “It’s hard for you too. I don’t really believe it either. Sometimes I think about it and ask myself if I really saw it. But if I didn’t really see it, how could I have such a vision in my head?”

“What kind of vision?” I asked.

“I just looked back at the toilet. I saw the door open a crack, and then I saw a child, a baby, looking at me with half his face showing.” At this point, Mr. Chang shuddered. It must have been a terrifying and painful memory.

Hearing this, Su Rou also shuddered with fear.

Mr. Chang continued, “Actually, I ran very fast, and I only looked back once. I didn’t think much about it at the time, just thinking about running back quickly. After I came back, I kept thinking about it, wondering if it was an illusion. But whether it was or not, I was fine after that. It was just that after I ran out that night, I didn’t know if a stray cat had gotten into the office building, and it kept me up all night!”

“Wild cat?” I rubbed my brows and had a general idea in my mind.

After leaving Mr. Chang, I didn’t rush into the office building, but instead returned to the car with the meat, saying that I had to pick up some tools.

Su Rou followed me all the way excitedly because he was never scared when I was around. He kept saying, “This is a tough guy. It wouldn’t be interesting if he wasn’t tough. It would be over in a few seconds.”

I kept saying, “Yes, yes,” and let Su Rou get into the car first. Then, as soon as I got in, I started the car.

“What’s wrong? Sanwa, it’s a big guy, so are you going back to get your tools?” Su Rou asked stupidly.

“No, I’m just taking you home.” I didn’t believe that Su Rou could jump out of the car.

Upon hearing this, Su Rou quickly grabbed the steering wheel and yelled, “You’re going to take me back when you see something exciting?”

I let go of the steering wheel and asked Su Rou, “If you want us to have a car accident together, go ahead.”

Su Rou didn’t dare to do it, so he quickly let me drive. I said to Su Rou while driving, “I can basically be a little dangerous in that office building. I’m okay by myself, but that big office building, I can’t guarantee that you won’t get into trouble.”

“What do you think?” Su Rou took a cigarette out of my pocket, lit it, and asked me. After all, we’re not the same as we were back then, and Su Rou is not so impulsive that he has to go. He can still calm down and listen to my explanation.

“Because someone must have deliberately set up that building, and there’s more than one of them inside, understand? If I can’t find the source, there’s no way I can solve the problem. I’m basically sure that the culprit in that building is a baby spirit full of resentment. This kind of thing is the most terrifying because the resentment is very strong and doesn’t know the difference between right and wrong, and it’s not afraid of the consequences. There’s more than one baby spirit in that building, it’s a group, you understand?” I said to Su Rou while driving.

His child was about to be born, and I absolutely could not let Su Rou take any risks.

“You said the spirit of the baby, but how can anyone see a female ghost?” Su Rou asked.

“It’s hard to say in this situation. I have to go to the scene to find out what kind of situation it is and how to break it. Some situations are endless when you haven’t found a specific solution. How can I care about you?” I explained to Su Rou.

Su Rou said angrily, “If that’s the case, how dare you say it’s a group of baby ghosts?”

“Because there is a group of cats in the office building. I’m not trying to scare you, but in the future, when you hear a stray cat meow, don’t think it’s really a stray cat. Sometimes the spirit of an infant can make that sound!” I said to Su Rou seriously.

After all, this is the magical part of the spirit of the infant. It is so full of resentment that it often cries. This sad cry can often be heard by many people for some special reason, which can also be understood as a resonance of the soul.

After all, even Taoist priests can’t figure out every supernatural event.

“You’re exaggerating. That day, Chang the old man was fine. Who doesn’t know how to curse? I can curse too.” Su Rou was still a little unconvinced.

“Do you think it was his cursing that did it? If he hadn’t had that statue, he would have been buried in it, you know? And he didn’t stay long, or go to the worst place. If he had stayed longer and gone to the worst place, what do you think? Besides, I was going to investigate the whole building. What do you think you were going to do?” I had to convince this guy, otherwise he would definitely get into trouble with me.

The meatball stopped talking, and I knew that the kid had been convinced.

Sure enough, after a while, he said to me, “Then you take care of yourself.”

I smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I’ve experienced enough.”

After I sent the crispy meat home, I went back to my own home to get some offensive magic weapons. Although the spirit of the infant is pitiful, it is the most entangled and does not accept transformation very well. When completely breaking the whole situation, the best way is to temporarily repel it.

After packing up, I drove to the office building again. In the car, I called An Yu and asked him, “Do you have any enemies who want to kill you and never let you live?”

It was noisy on the other end of the line, and I could tell it was a nightclub. He replied, “I’m not bragging, but maybe there are people who are jealous of me or hate me. But there are really not many people who hate me. I wouldn’t do something so stupid as to offend someone to the point of death. If you have to say who hates me the most, it’s my wife, but she’s already gotten enough money to divorce me, so she won’t do anything like that again.”

I didn’t get any clues from An Yu, but I got a belly full of unbalance. I risked my ass for you, and you hid in a nightclub?

I was silent for a moment, then I said, “Things are more complicated than I thought. I need more money, or I won’t do it.”

An Yu said smugly over the phone, “When has money ever been a problem? I…”

I hung up the phone directly because I had already arrived at the office building.
