Chapter 71

I don't know how long I stayed in this position, but by the time I came back to my senses, both my legs were numb, and it was hard for me to stand up. When I looked up, I realized that the Hanged Man had returned. He was standing just a few steps away from me, staring blankly at me without making a sound.

I was suddenly a little happy that this guy was able to find his way back, even though I was more or less upset with him because of the Shadow Lady's relationship earlier. However, I suddenly felt that at this kind of time, no matter whether it is a human or a ghost, there is still someone who can stay by my side, and my heart is more or less comforted, because in this way, I won't really be alone.

During this period of time, I have lost too many things, more Lu Yao after that chat, I inexplicably some fear, not like before, fear of death, but remembered when I became a living soul, the kind of no one to rely on, no matter whether it's a person or a ghost can't see me, realize that I still exist in this world's feeling.

People live in this world, regardless of the status of high and low level of poverty and wealth, always can not really isolate themselves and others, otherwise that can not be called people. I'm not sure what I'm talking about, but I'm not sure what I'm talking about," he said.

I moved my legs, so that the feeling of numbness can disappear as soon as possible, and then looked at the hanging ghost, and smiled at him.

He looked at me and seemed to freeze for a moment, then suddenly grinned back. This kind of look, which seemed quite silly, inexplicably warmed my heart.

I walked over and sat on the edge of the bed, and he still looked at me without a word. I thought for a while and asked him, even if it's a ghost, there are still ones that can be trusted right?

He didn't answer right away, but thought for a moment, then pointed to himself, smiled and nodded.

I think what he meant was that he wanted to tell me that he was the ghost that I could trust. My mood suddenly cleared up quite a bit, and I laughed out loud under my breath, but after I finished laughing, I suddenly fell silent again.

I glanced towards the door of my room, thinking about Lu Yao in the opposite room, and finally made up my mind and walked towards her room.

I stood outside the door and took a deep breath before slowly knocking on the door. I soon heard her footsteps before the door to the room opened with a click.

Lu Yao stood behind the door, quietly looking at me, neither of us spoke immediately, the atmosphere was more or less awkward. After about half a minute, I couldn't help but open my mouth, but I didn't expect that when I made a sound, Lu Yao also called out my name.

She said, Tan Xi, have you thought about it?

I slowly nodded my head and let out a laugh, saying that staying here all the time isn't a solution, don't we still have to go look at houses. It is almost time to go.

Lu Yao froze for a moment, the corner of her eyes finally revealed a touch of joy, I heard her voice was a little choked up, I thought to myself, ghosts also have their own feelings.

She heavily dropped her head, mouth "hmm", when she looked up again, I realized that her eyes were almost full of tears, but her face was still smiling, said you wait for me to pack up my things.

I nodded and didn't say anything else as I watched her turn into her room and start to pack up her things. I also went back to my room to get ready and waited for Lu Yao to finish before leaving the hotel with her.

However, it seemed that because of Lu Yao's relationship, the Hanged Ghost was unwilling to follow us, and I could only see him following at a distance, his face looking unhappy.

This is probably just like the little ghosts, they always have the most primitive fear of things that are already horrible.

It was as if nothing had happened between Lu Yao and I. We just followed the addresses she had found and contacted them one by one. We looked at a lot of houses this day, and although I was satisfied with many of them, Lu Yao still disliked them for being too simple. When I finally had my legs broken, I managed to find a suitable one.

In my heart, I really thanked God, accompanying Lu Yao to pick out a house was like accompanying a woman on a shopping spree, and even though she was now a female ghost, I was really a bit overwhelmed by the search.

This house is very large, and there are many rooms, furniture and everything, the landlord is an elderly couple, look at talking and doing things, the attitude is quite good, Lu Yao is also very satisfied, we discussed the two sides, decided to rent, more convenient is the turnkey can move in. It is to save a lot of trouble.

When everything is ready, I immediately fell on the sofa do not want to climb up, this and women on the street will always have a kind of weakness to die. I rested for a while, only then slowed down, shouted Lu Yao, she is one by one from the bag out of their belongings, heard my voice, only head to look at me, asked how?

I exported this, the heart and feel a little twisted, asked her, I should now call you what name, not possible or Lu Yao it, after all, you are not really Lu Yao.

She gave a laugh and said, it's okay, you can call me whatever you want, my own name, I have long forgotten.

I thought about it for a while, and felt that it was not proper for me to just give someone else a name, and it was not possible to call her Bone Woman Paint Skin, but in the end I had no choice, and decided to call her Lu Yao, thinking that there would not be much of a chance to meet with the real Lu Yao in the future, so it was just like having the same name and the same surname.

Lu Yao didn't have any problem with it, smiled and didn't say anything.

After thinking for a while, I asked her again, saying Lu Yao ah, you see you are so powerful, is it that with you around, I can have fewer ghosts around me?

She turned her head to look at me, walked to my side, patted me on the head, laughed and said you want to be beautiful, I said before, I will not help you, what you should do is what you do, whether you can overcome or not is your business.

I quickly sat up, said no, I just want you to help me for a few days, look at me, now my head and body everywhere is injured, not a good place, in this way, not waiting for me to learn to cope with it, I guess the first to be dragged by these injuries to see the king of Hades.

Lu Yao silently looked at me for a while, slowly reached out his hand, gently touched my shoulder that a couple of blood holes made by the corpse puppet, and then sighed, said well, I help you for a period of time, and so on your injuries are good, I can no longer care.

I grinned, busy nodding, good, you just help me a day is also good, grateful ah!

She covered her mouth with a smile and patted me on the head again, then turned around and continued to go pack up her things.

After the seven or eight days, really did not happen anything, I almost the door do not step out a step, just in the house to watch TV and listen to songs, in addition to recuperate from injuries, other things do not care.

The only thing that makes me feel a little bit of trouble is this hanging ghost thing, no matter what I say, he just refused to enter the door, alone outside the house, looking pathetic, I think I'll wait for me to get well, go out and look for a few ghosts to come back to the mound, so that he stays inside, I also feel much more at ease.

I rarely have such a quiet day, although the time is very short and boring, but there is always an indescribable feeling of coziness to come.

In the past two days, when I went online, I realized that the thing that I was attacked by the corpse puppet on the street before was spreading like wildfire, and the internet was full of news about that day.

I probably read about it, and many people posted online that they had witnessed corpses getting up from the ground and running after people. This kind of content easily aroused people's curiosity, so much so that for a period of time, this even became a popular search topic.

There was even a video of me fighting for my life with the corpse puppet at the end, which also went viral on the internet, presumably uploaded by those few people who were standing at the entrance of the alley and watching from afar at the time.

But let me be thankful that this video, although it looks quite thrilling, but one is a cell phone shooting, and the second is the distance is far away, in addition to being able to see the two in the fight other than the silhouette, almost can not see the details clearly, including my face can not be distinguished.

But this concern is also very much, and finally the TV station are out, presumably also for the ratings and so on, did a similar exploration and discovery program, began to say all kinds of mysterious, what two consecutive people fell from the seventh floor, the body resurrection, always is to make the more scary the better, but then it became a puzzle program.

The TV station specifically invited experts, there is even a fat-faced monk, a line of people went to the alley where I previously rented a room, the mouth said a set of things, and finally and expert explanation, pointing to the building where I fell down, said, look, although the buildings here are high, but the people who live here are almost all working people, before and after the building, are hanging a lot of sunbathing clothes on the ropes, and there are a lot of stores on the bottom sticking out of the Canopies and billboards, so even if someone really fell from the roof of this building, not out of the big things, is also very likely.

Saying that, the camera was aimed at those messy ropes and various lines in front of the building, and the narration started to say that people fall down from here, and halfway through, they keep touching on these ropes, and the downward force keeps weakening, and finally they fall on the ground, and they may fall painfully, but it's far less serious than what we all think, and this kind of situation has happened before. So for a moment when he fell to the ground and couldn't get up, everyone thought that he had broken, and when he finally eased up and the man stood up, everyone was momentarily afraid, so they thought that it was some kind of resurrection of the dead. But this is already counted as a blessing in misfortune.

Then the camera panned and it was back in the studio, and the host talked about the video that was circulating on the internet, and the expert just laughed and said that this type of thing has actually been available a lot online for a long time. But this video is a bit lower level than the other fakes, and is obviously a spoof of netizens.

The host asked why, and the expert replied, "Other than that, look at this.

He pointed to the video I took the stick a moment to the corpse puppet's head to fly the footage, said that although the human cervical vertebrae is relatively fragile, but the toughness is very strong, and look at this wielding the stick people hands of the force, it is absolutely impossible a moment to be able to fly out of the head from the shoulder of a person. Furthermore, not to mention the stick, even if it is a blunt knife, want to cut down the human head at once, is also very difficult.

Anyway in the end it was all kinds of class evidence that negated the authenticity of these videos.

After the program aired, the ratings really went up a lot, after all, but also give an answer, the official statement, or many people believe, although there are always different opinions come up, but over time, this thing is like before the United States of America's face eaters, whether you believe it or not, always has been concluded, and finally settled.

After watching these programs, I was laughing bitterly, one side is to sigh this finally did not involve me, it is always the past, on the other hand also admire the reasoning ability of these experts, anyway, no matter whether it is true or false, from their mouths always so sworn.

However, I have a lot of free time, but also did not continue to pay attention to this matter.

But this kind of stable days, only after more than a week point, I have a lot of injuries on the body well, but I also did not expect, everything just like this end.

It was still night, I slept in a blur, suddenly heard someone knocking on my window, opened my eyes, but there was no one outside the window ……
