Chapter 40: Ninety-nine green

Qin Ziyuan's lighter fell directly to the ground. His eyes widened as he stared dead on at the rising black shadow. After that black shadow rose, its body first stiffened a little, then, it quickly turned its head around and slowly walked along the screen, and in the blink of an eye, it looked like it was about to come outside the screen! And during this process, the screen didn't shake at all, and the filmmaker couldn't see the slightest hint of fear! Qin Ziyuan, Nie Han, and Ming Chenyan were all almost holding their breath as they watched this scene, what on earth could be walking out from behind the screen? However …… When that black shadow walked out of the screen outside …… but did not walk out of anything at all! It was as if it had disappeared into thin air! And after a while, the screen began to slowly move towards the back. Himura Kara, who was behind the screen, said something. Ming Chenyan's translation this time froze a full second or two slow. Qin Ziyuan immediately bellowed, "What did she just say?" Ming Chenyan stammered, "She, she said …… Mr. Qing Jiang, follow …… it!" As soon as those words were finished, the camera screen had already panned back to outside this tatami room. Then, the camera continued to pivot and began to slowly move forward. At the same time, Takagi Aoie's voice came from off-camera. Akatsuhiko translated this time, and the trembling of his voice was even more severe: "He, he said …… Mrs. Garo, please don't worry, I will properly …… follow it… …the ……" Although Akatsuhiko used the word "it" when translating, both Himura Kara and Takagi Aoe's original words were かれ, which was generally a personal pronoun for "he" in Japanese. However, Akatsuhiko felt that at this point in time, it might be more appropriate to translate it as "it". The screen began to move a little bit, at an unhurried pace. Qin Ziyuan listened to Ming Chenyan's words, clenched his hands tightly and said, "He can see? But we can't see it?" This person called Takagi Qing Jiang, could it be that he has the so-called yin and yang eyes? At the same time, Mo Yuan looked at the opposite window, and suddenly, the curtains of that window, were automatically drawn! "This ……" Mo Yuan instantly realized that the one who pulled the curtains closed would definitely not be Dong Ning. Then the one who pulled the curtains was …… "We have to go save her!" Mo Yuan came to this conclusion almost without thinking, "Dong Ning and Dong Xie are important to us." Situ Wenxuan looked at Mo Yuan's anxious expression, in fact, he knew very well that no matter if it was important or not, anyone's life was equally important in Mo Yuan's heart. In all fairness, he respected Mo Yuan for this. Then, Mo Yuan turned his head and looked at the TV screen. "What just happened ……?" …… The screen moved a little bit and soon, came to the location of the stairs. Now, the occupants did not doubt for a second that this person named Takagi Aoie, although for some unknown reason, could see a certain evil spirit that the occupants could not see. And this evil spirit, which had been exorcized from the man in the suit by Kara Himura, was moving through this Gushikan. However, this evil spirit did not harm anyone after being exorcized. It even just let Takagi Aoie just follow behind it. "It should be very old by the sound of its voice." Mo Yuan said from the sidelines, "This person named Takagi Aoie's age may date back to when this Goujoukan was first constructed. If he is still alive now, he must know a lot of information that we would like to learn." "I think so too." Qin Ziyuan agreed with this, "Provided …… he is still alive." At this time, the screen began to move towards the location of the stairs. Then, Takagi Aoie began to walk towards the stairs. "Good …… that's right …… slowly …… slowly go up the stairs …… " Akatsuhiko translated Takagi Aoie's words coming from outside the screen, the voice was like taming a docile domesticated dog. However, it gave Mo Yuan and the others the creeps. Did this family have the weird ability of a Western Hunan corpse chaser in general? At this moment, Qin Ziyuan began to consider an idea. Bringing someone from the Beishan family into the apartment! As long as one had the key, one could swear to automatically join the apartment. Of course a normal person wouldn't be able to do that, but having fallen into a desperate situation in the Bloodletter Quest, he could find a way to persuade someone from the Kitayama family to enter the apartment. Could this kind of bizarre ability be used in a bloodletter mission? Finally, the stairs were finished. Takagi Aoe walked slowly, but it seemed that he had been following that evil spirit the entire time. Then, Takagi Aoie turned a corridor and continued to march. "Okay …… that's right, just follow this place …… that's right." When Ming Chenyan once again translated Takagi Aoie's words, both Mo Yuan and Qin Ziyuan's expressions became subtle. Was this old man just really not afraid at all? The conclusion Mo Yuan could draw from his words was that this old man wasn't entirely sure that the Evil Spirit would act exactly as he expected. But he seemed pretty sure that the evil spirits wouldn't harm him? Or was the old man old enough and no longer afraid of death? The Japanese have a very indifferent view of life and death. Their concept of life and death is "I don't want to die, but if I have to die in a disaster, there is nothing I can do about it", which is an extremely Buddhist way of thinking. This is due to the fact that the Japanese islands have been plagued by disasters for many years, and the constant earthquakes and tsunamis have led to an increasingly resigned mentality of the Japanese people in the face of death. That's why even in a major earthquake, they retreat in an orderly fashion. So suicide has even become a culture in this country. "That's right… …… It's right there… ……" I don't know how long they circled around, but they came to the door of a room. And there was a sign above the door of that room, and the text on it didn't need to be translated, because the text was translated in Japanese, Chinese, Korean, and English, respectively. "Warning! Warning! Warning! It is strictly forbidden to enter this room without a witch accompanying you! Otherwise, the Kitayama family will not be held responsible for anything that happens!" The door to the room was locked, and as he walked up to it, Takagi Aoe stopped. "Very well ……" After a long while, Takagi Aoie continued to start talking to himself, and Akatsuhiko translated, "It seems to be quite a long time between this year's first guest …… and the last one. Let's hope that, this time, there will be more 'meat'." When Akatsuhiko heard the word meat come out of Takagi Aoie's mouth, somehow, the inside of his stomach began to feel flipped over. Meat??? What meat? Whose meat? Then the scene went black. When the next scene lit up again, it was once again outside of the Gushu Bird Pavilion, and this time, the client turned out to be a woman wearing a black kimono with a stunningly beautiful appearance. And this time, Situ Wenxuan was still staring at the opposite window, the curtains were still drawn now. And as he listened to Mo Yuan and the others conversing, he roughly knew what they had seen back there. Although he couldn't see the picture, his heart felt terrorized enough. But, what most concerned Mo Yuan and the others was the term meat. What did that mean? The woman in the black kimono looked at Takagi Aoie, who was in charge of filming, and began to speak. Akatsuhiko translated, "The last time I came here, the year was still Showa, and now, it's already Rinwa." "You really haven't changed at all, Ms. Ninety-Nine." "It's the same here." "Ninety-nine?" Mo Yuan froze and said, "Is that a Japanese surname?" "Well, I remember seeing this surname in a Japanese anime." Ming Chenyan studied Japanese and naturally watched a lot of new Japanese anime. "You can just call me Midori." The woman in the black kimono continued. "You are older than even I am, right, so I think it's better for me to be addressed as such." Hearing this, Mo Yuan and Qin Ziyuan both froze, and Nie Han's complexion also swept a touch of dismay. Age? How did Takagi Qingjiang's voice sound like a very old man, wasn't it? "You didn't translate it wrong, did you? Akatsuhiko?" Mo Yuan confirmed again. Akatsuhiko immediately said, "There's absolutely no mistake, that's what he said!" At this time, the picture came closer to the woman in the black kimono. The woman's features and eyebrows were simply beautiful, and as far as Mo Yuan could remember, of all the women he had seen (excluding those on TV and in movies), only Mother Ziyi's beauty could be ranked alongside hers! The woman named Ninety-Nine Greens then said something that Ming Chenyan even forgot to translate when he heard it at first glance. "Actually, today is our first meeting. I've been trapped in a hellish apartment for a very long time in the past ……"
