Chapter 64
I hurriedly ran to the window, half of my body poked out of the window, but did not find anyone's figure.
According to the angle at which the arrow was shot, only the residential building across the street was a possibility, but when I looked around, I couldn't see anything clearly in the dark. I called out Ding Ding's name towards that side, but my voice was the only one echoing in this late night, there was no response at all.
I held the arrow and looked at it again, the previous excitement receded, and then I was puzzled, if it was Ding Ding, why did he run to the opposite side of the building instead of coming over to me, and I couldn't tell if he was a human being or a ghost now. Even based on this arrow alone, I couldn't be sure that the one who shot the arrow was Ding Ding himself.
I gently touched the engraving on the arrow, although it was indeed Ding Ding's style, just like the handwritten business card he handed me when I first met him. But it was only a stylistic similarity, and I would only believe it if Tintin himself stood in front of me. After all that had happened, I always had to keep an eye out no matter which way it went.
Mrs. Nine's house had been burned down in a fire just like that, and none of us knew exactly what had happened, so naturally I couldn't rule out the possibility that someone had taken Tintin's belongings to impersonate him.
Therefore after I shouted out, I cautiously glanced out the window and stopped making a sound.
Lu Yao stood beside me, she gave me a puzzled look and then looked at the arrow I said I had hit and said is it alright now?
I tightened the arrow in my hand, and after a moment of silence, I said that the ghosts and shadows in this house have all dispersed, so it should be fine. However, I don't dare to stay in this place anymore, I don't know if it will still attract ghosts.
Lu Yao nodded and said, "Then let's go.
I gave a "hmmm" and hurriedly packed up my things in the house, bringing all the things that I could take with me so that my baggage had increased quite a bit. When I was all straightened out, I turned around and saw the things that I had just brought up from downstairs, and when I thought that I would have to move them from here to downstairs, I really had a death wish.
But this time, Lu Yao was not idle, I guess she wanted to leave this place earlier, and helped me a lot, I also counted on saving a lot of effort.
Waiting for us to go downstairs, only to find that the landlord and the neighbor's family actually stood upstairs, one looked up and watched the movement upstairs, waiting for us to come out, suddenly came together, expression as if watching monkeys in the zoo, the landlord is both joyful and afraid to ask me, said how, that house is indeed haunted, right, you can escape is considered good.
I strained a face, glared at him, damn old man almost died in the inside also do not see them up to help a favor, even if you do not do it, you shouted at me is also good ah.
I put the backpack down from the body, said I also want to check out!
The landlord froze for a moment, and suddenly turned into that kind of treacherous look, said I have destroyed this house by you, you still think you want to return can return ah!
I said I don't care what you do, anyway, I don't live in this house, who likes to live who lives.
His eyes turned a circle, said do not live even if, but the rent I will not return a penny to you, do your business is my bad luck!
I saw his attitude is very horizontal look, the rent is paid in half a year, the second half of the month has not been, this thing even bite the dead, I have a fire in my heart is about to vent, Lu Yao but pulled me a hand, said not to return on not return it, we are not bad money, this ghost place, sooner or later, the loss of a penny.
The landlord's face immediately turned green, and he was about to have a fit, but the neighbor beside him said that this has nothing to do with us, and that our rent must be refunded!
The landlord's face sank, presumably still wanting to distinguish a few words, was immediately surrounded by a family arguing with him. Lu Yao and I didn't care about them, we each carried our things, put them in the carriage one by one, got into the car and left.
We first went to find a restaurant to eat, but Lu Yao, after the shock just now, I guess she didn't have much of an appetite, and casually ate a little and left it still.
I glanced at her and saw that her face was pale and white, very bad. After a moment of silence, I said, "You see, following me is always bad, just like a broomstick, dragging others down wherever you go, sooner or later you will be disliked, so ah, if you want to go out and have a break, it's better for you to travel around alone, don't follow me.
Lu Yao didn't reply right away, she slowed down for a while before slowly shaking her head, a few strands of black hair in front of her forehead swaying with her movements. Only then did she look toward me and said I'm not thinking about the ghost thing, I've met a few times since I've been with you, right? To be honest, although each time there was a scare, but the process in between was quite scary. I always thought I had a lot of guts, but after thinking about it, if it were me, I don't even know if I could hold up.
I faintly laughed, said, can't support what can be done, I don't know how many times I have come back from the dead, every time to the end of the very desperate waiting for death. But the good thing is that all a little bit of luck, always meet the people who help me. And I don't necessarily have peace after death. I've seen a lot of ghosts, and I've found that they still have their own difficulties.
I say this with all sincerity, just like the remnants of that headless female corpse, being a ghost is still controlled, and there are even those lonely souls on the ghost train, who can't even find their way home, so being a ghost isn't any better than being a human being.
Lu Yao sighed softly and asked me, "Tan Xi, what are you going to do?
I said that I don't have any idea yet, I've encountered too many puzzles, every time I feel that I'm getting a little bit closer, but it's all in the clouds, solving one mystery, and then another one comes. And I don't have any clues myself, I can only wait for someone else to design a step-by-step process, which will allow me to know the true nature of things.
Lu Yao took a deep breath, looked outside the hotel, did not say a word, I also do not know how she intends, but look at this look, I guess the heart is still entangled in these weird things.
After dinner, we looked for a hotel, Lu Yao insisted on living in good condition, said it looks clean heart comfortable. I can only let her, I myself although poor, but others at least is a big family born, fortunately, Lin Tian's things are in my place, the card money enough for me to use for a period of time, and after that to find a house to live there is no problem.
I was going to tell him, but then I thought I'm all broke, so I'll use it first, and then I'll ask him to pay him back later, he's not that bad anyway.
We said good night to each other at the door of the room, and walked into the house, I put the luggage away, and then checked every corner of the room, and found that there was nothing unusual, which made me feel a little more at ease, and leaned back and fell on the bed.
As soon as I lay down, I heard something rattling around in my bag, I felt strange in my heart, and busied myself with getting up to take a look, and found that it was the ghostly mound containing the hanged ghost that was constantly shaking.
I frowned, reached out and lifted the lid, probed and looked in, but it was empty and nothing was there. I was wondering, but when I turned my head, I realized that the bastard was already sitting next to me, sticking his tongue out and giggling.
I don't know how, I saw him on the gas, off the mouth cursed the girl you laugh ah.
His face smile suddenly stiff, full of aggrieved stood up.
I do not know what he wants to do, anyway, I saw him take the rope, towards the ceiling of the roof a throw, I laughed in my heart and said motherfucker stupid ah, this is a flat roof, there is no beam for you to hang the rope.
Which know that the rope directly through the wall, and turned back, as if built in the wall, but also really hung. I looked dumbfounded, not yet reacted, this hanged ghost a moment to hang himself up.
I let out an ouch and became even more exasperated. I'm going to fucking sleep, you give me such a show, I lie down and open my eyes to see the end of the bed where there is a person off the neck, but also stretched out his tongue and looked straight at me, you say that my mood can be good to which to go. I almost died in the room did not see you out to help a favor, now nothing is to scare me!
If it's not for the fact that I can't beat him, I'll immediately kick him out!
I'm here in this depressed, suddenly someone knock knock knock knock, this hanged ghost froze for a moment, brush back to the ghost mound to go. I do not know what he is hiding, just now that a dying look.
