Chapter 16

Ding Ding said, it's just hitting a ghost, don't your family know about it, or did your mom run and tell my mom about it.

Lin Jing said thoughtfully, My mom is quite superstitious about these things.

Then she turned her head, looked at me, said Tan brother you will not really encounter these strange things, right, before you did not tell me that everything is fine?

I was so demolished by Ding Ding, I really do not know how to explain, completely afraid to look at this girl's eyes, as if I had done something wrong to her.

She suddenly said, no wonder my brother is so anxious to come to you every day, although I am smaller than you two, but also grew up with you ah, you really have something how can you hide it from me?

I see her a little excited, hastily persuade, in fact, this matter is not as complicated as you think, indeed, there are some strange things happened, but they are not dangerous, just a little shocked.

Lin Jing looked at me, I felt as if she was about to cry, she said Are you really saying this? Brother Tan, my brother has dreamed that you died twice, and each time you were lying in a coffin. I'm actually quite scared, that's why I wanted to come and have a look. You should also talk to me if you have something to say. I treat you as my own brother.

As soon as I heard this, I suddenly froze for a moment and turned my head to look at Ding Ding, realizing that he was also looking towards me.

I hesitated for a moment, seemingly uncertain, looked at Lin Tian, asked, what dream that I died twice?

Lin Tian gaze averted for a moment, said nothing, just a nightmare.

Lin Jing busy on the answer, said, my brother said he always dreamed in your old home, dreaming of your mother, you lie in a coffin, and many do not know people to attend the funeral, very scary, so he thought every day to run to you to see, my mother did not allow, he quietly ran to.

I was even more surprised in my heart, what Lin Jing said, is not what I dreamed of these days.

I didn't expect Lin Tian to be like me, always repeating this kind of horrible dream!

If it was just me, then maybe I could say it was a coincidence, but since Lin Tian was the same, then I guess it was really the ghostly omen Ding Ding was talking about!

That is to say, the scene in the dream will really appear, I will be in my hometown, lying in a coffin to attend my own funeral, and even see my deceased mom in!

I glanced at Ding Ding, he had his fingers on his lips and seemed to be thinking about something, not saying a word.

And I just felt that everything was spinning in my head, those dreams, those ghosts and monsters that I kept encountering, they all crossed in front of my eyes one by one, spinning to the point that I was a little dizzy, and I was busy holding onto the back of the sofa.

Seeing me like this, Lin Jing hurriedly reached out to support me, and asked with concern, "Brother Tan, what's wrong with you?

I shook my head and said, "Nothing, I'm a bit tired, I want to rest for a while.

After saying that, I went towards the dormitory. Just a short distance away, I suddenly heard a scream from Lin Jing, I was startled and my mind instantly cleared.

I then realized that my body was still being held up by Lin Jing, but my head was once again detached and floating in the air. Lin Jing didn't expect this to happen, she only saw her eyes straighten, and after screaming, she suddenly fainted!

Lin Tian and I were in a hurry.

He jumped over in two steps, took Lin Jing from my hands, hugged her and shouted her name a few times, but Lin Jing didn't react to anything and remained unconscious.

I said Lin Tian, don't worry, put Lin Jing on the sofa first!

Lin Tian looked up and yelled at me, what do you mean don't rush! She is my sister! You that head sooner or later not fall off now scare who ah you!

Said, he picked up Lin Jing, lifted his leg and rushed out of the house, before leaving also said, Tan Xi, you wait for me! If anything happens to my sister, you won't be able to pick that head of yours back up by the neck!

As soon as he finished speaking, he hugged Lin Jing and ran away.

I froze for a moment, I've never seen Lin Tian look so mad, and looking at myself in this state, I wonder how many more people will be in trouble because of me.

With a thought, my head drifted to the edge of the window, looking downwards, I saw that Lin Tian had hugged Lin Jing out of the building, attracting quite a few people's attention. But Lin Tian didn't care about them at all, directly putting Lin Jing into the car and driving away.

Ding Ding was still sitting on the side, he looked at me, wanting to say something, he seemed to be unsure if he should comfort me or say something else.

I was now in a very complicated mood, thinking about Lin Tian being hospitalized because of me, thinking about him almost dying in the hands of the hairy ghost because of me, thinking about Lin Jing just being scared unconscious by the way I looked, not knowing that in the future, there would be even more horrifying things that would happen.

For the first time, I had a strange thought, thinking that even if I was now facing a ghost or god, this kind of unspeakable but terrifying existence.

But if I keep expecting things to pass easily, waiting for Ding Ding to come out and save me every time I encounter a ghost, and hurting those around me from time to time, then what's the point of me living in such a muddled state?

No one can take care of oneself for the rest of one's life, a truth that I had already understood as early as when I was small, the day my father left me and my mother.

I suddenly wanted to fight, wanted to find the source of this thing, wanted to solve all this.

When Tintin saw that I was silent, he stood up, walked over to me and asked, Tan Xi, what's wrong with you? Lin Tian that was also a silly thing to say in the heat of the moment, don't take it to heart.

I said I know, even if Lin Jing is not my biological sister, but my worry does not have to be much less than Lin Tian.

Ding Ding nodded and smiled, saying this is right. I'll treat you to dinner this afternoon, and when Lin Tian's anger subsides later, I'll ask him about his sister's situation.

Ding Ding said on the one hand, on the other hand cupped my head, once again on the shoulders.

It was also at this time that I realized that Ding Ding actually also has his careful side, although usually talk and do things without thinking, but the key moment is very reassuring.

But I really don't have much appetite, only told him that I want to take a rest, also didn't wait for him to reply, then directly walked into the room.

I changed into a to-be-hooded dress, pulling it up just enough to cover my head. Looking in front of the mirror for a moment so that even if my head and neck were to suddenly snap, it wouldn't be too easy to draw attention to myself as long as I didn't fly out.

In the mirror, my face is still as haggard as ever, well in the past few days I am also accustomed to my own appearance, the only difference is only in the middle of the neck, there is a faint circle of bright red color, like a line, wrapped around my entire neck. It was also like a cut, a wound that was not obvious after the first healing.

I sighed, took my phone and some money with me, and left the room.

Tintin had just left a little while ago, saying he was going to get some food and wait for the evening so he could make me a big dinner.

I didn't make a sound in the room, and he probably thought I was asleep, and his footsteps were much lighter.

I thought about it for a moment and put a note on the table, probably saying that I was going out and not to worry about me or something like that.

Then I gathered up my own knife and headed out the door.

I walked through the bustling streets, not really knowing what I should check from, the clues I had in my hand, one was from the remnant of the spirit that Tintin had mentioned, I knew about that one a spirit without a head, in any case it was something that I could recognize at a glance. The other, was about the same dream that Lin Tian and I had.

I now even suspect for a moment that my mom's death might not be as simple as it seems either. No matter what, I must find out!

I sat at the bus stop and thought for a while, according to Ding Ding, I still had at least seven days left. The best case scenario right now is to find out that residual soul in the shortest time possible, and then go back to my hometown to see what new clues will come up.

Bus after bus came and went, and I never got on, just looked at the different crowds coming and going. This does have a needle in a haystack like feeling, I just planned to change places, to find those people less remote alley look. But just as I stood up, the phone rang.

I pulled it out and saw that it was an unfamiliar number. I didn't remember seeing it either.

I picked it up and gave a "hello".

The other end of the phone is not very noisy, there is the sound of electricity, as if the signal is not good. I called a few times in a row, but no one said anything. I just thought someone else called the wrong, hung up the phone did not pay attention to.

But just as I hung up, the phone rang again. I picked it up suspiciously, but as before no one spoke.

I think this may be some fraudulent use of the system self-playing number, just want to drag it to the blacklist inside, but received a message.

It read: Xiao Xi, it's you, isn't it?

My grip on the phone tightened and I looked at those five words on it for a long time, because the only person who called me Xiao Xi was my mom ……
