The Realm Of Evil Spirits Volume 1 Chapter 5

Chapter Five  Ghost?

"Bang bang bang!"

"Bang bang bang...!

The horrible sound of tapping went on an on like it would never stop if the door kept closed.

Xia leaned against the door with his face full of cold sweat,then he turned to see warily outside from the peep hole again.

The red color filled with the peep hole had gone,but instead of it,there was a face near.

It was a woman's face,aged,covered with pimples.

"Ah——"

Xia was taken aback to the ground.He believed "the woman"in the peep hole was not a person!

People saw things through peep hole in a distance.It was impossible to see the face so near.

Unless..."the woman"lived in this peep hole!

"Unless you break the door,I won't open it!Bad luck has a reason,debt has advocate.Why do you come to me? "

Xia remembered once he learned from his cla.s.smate that ghost was feared for evil person.If one ran into a ghost,he should pretend to be vicious and swear the whether-people-or-ghost thing deadly.

He had no choice but to act like this.Thanks to his  boldness,if others had came across such spooky things,they would have fell apart.

He was not sure if the pretending of evil took effect.The tapping sound stopped.Waiting for a moment with flutter,he saw outside through the peep hole   again.

"The woman "in the peep hole was disappeared.The corridor seemed normal,covered in darkness.

"succeed?"

It looked normal,Xia didn't dare to loose his vigilance.And just in case,he put every furniture that he could move against the door.

Xia panted beside the door,thinking it was ok.A sound of flus.h.i.+ng came from the restroom.

The sudden spooky sound made him trembling.The corpses tucked in the toilets yesterday and the faces distorting with pain and blood emerged on his mind vividly.

"No——"

 Xia didn't want to die,his colorful life was unfolding.He hadn't possessed Luxury cars,large mansions and G.o.ddess.He wouldn't die with regret.

It was bad enough to die in a shaky room like this,not to mention,being tucked in the toilet.If so,he would lose his dignity even as a ghost.

Rus.h.i.+ng into the restroom,Xia looked into the toilet which was flus.h.i.+ng,then he was badly scared.

Because instead of cleaning white,the toilet was flooded with red at this moment.

The abnormal scenario turned his world view,making him believe that ghost really exited in this world.

He thought from now on,if anyone would have imbue him with  the concept that there were no ghosts in the world,he would say"Go away"to him.

"Bang——!"

Putting down the toilet lid with trembling hand,Xia returned to the bedroom.He was so anxious that he recited "Amitabha"loudly,rummaging his suitcase to find some amulets.

"Amulets!where are you?Come out!Where the f.u.c.king are you?"

Xia scouted every suitcase.Lukily,he found a canvas bag emblazoned with a black Chinese character"坤（correspinds "earth" ）". The name of the bag was Universal bag where he put all of the amulets his grandfather gave him.

He considered them a haul of rubbishes,but now they worth much than gold.

The key question was if they took effect.

He had no much time to think much，because strange thing was about to creep out from his toilet.

Rus.h.i.+ng into the restroom with Universal bag in hand,he gritted his teeth and open the toilet lid.

He was about to throw one or two amulets into the toilet to see if it worked,when unexpectedly,

a pale arm thrust out the toilet and grabbed his shoulder.

"Ah——!"

The cold feeling spread all over his body.Scared and shouting,he grabbed a handful of amulets and threw them all into the toilet.

As soon as the amulets reached the toilet,they turned into a green light,then the arm retracted as if it was shocked.

It was a great relief to see the affect of the amulets,but he dare not stayed in the restroom.

Escaping from the restroom,he intended to put a amulet on each corner,but to his regret,there was only the last one.Others were all threw into the toilet just now due to his fear.

One was better than nothing.He could defend himself with the amulet.

Staying awake for all the night,he was not sure whether that ghost thing would come again.Nothing happened until morning.He wondered if it was the the contribution of the amulet.

As sun rose,the messy room was quiet in the suns.h.i.+ne as if there was nothing happened last night.

Rubbing his face hard,Xia felt tired and ached over the whole body,especially the left shoulder which was impressed with a black fingerprint deep to the bone.

"Ouch!That hurt！"

Xia moved the left arm cautiously.Aching，he could active without interference.

After that,he came into the restroom with flutter.Scouting the toilet carefully,he found it was as normal as it used to be,only above where flouting some ashes .

Having validated the safety of the restroom,Xia approached the door to have a look at the peep hole...

It was not untile he had made sure all the threatens were gone that he removed the furniture he put against the door before, and then fleeing the rental with all his money.

The first thing after his leaving was going into a internet bar nearby.

With a large bowl of steaming noodles,he took a seat.

He thought of taking back his cell phone at the bookstore,but he believed it probably had been took away by  policemen or someone else.So he decided to get in touch with his grandfather on line at first.

Logging in his QQ account,Xia found surprisingly his grandfather was on line.He initiated a request of QQ telephone immediately without eating a morsel.

For his surprise,it was connected as soon as he issued it .He thought his grandfather would have been too busy playing"fighting against landlord"to notice the message.However,the one speaking was his mother,not his grandfather.

"Tianqi,what are you doing recently?Why don't call your beautiful mammy?Do you find a girlfriend,don't you?Little boyman,having a girlfriend,you forget your mother...by the way,is she good-looking?Have a nice figure?Where is she come from..."

"Stop!Stop！I am sorry，mammy，for I haven't get in touch with you in time，but now，I need to talk to grandpa！"

"You say you are wrong every time,but you always do the same!Why are doing with your grandpa?"

"I definitely would correct next time."Xia said hurriedly."I need to talk to grandpa,it is an emergency."It was real.

"What emergency?"

"My most most beautiful mammy...please"

"Keeping secret from me,I gave you negative comment!I have nothing more to do with you,but your grandpa is not home.He went traveling."

"What?Went traveling?But why was his QQ account on line?"

"I help him to update his QQ.  "

"Well,I will call him then."

"You grandpa don't use cell phone...by the way,you lost your cell phone,didn't you?"

Hearing this,Xia remembered his grandpa didn't use cell phone for he was afraid of cell phone's radiation.People got in touch with him by home telephone.

That meant he couldn't get support from his grandpa.

"Hey,little boyman,are you listening to me?"

"Yes,I'm listening."With the bad news,Xia asked in doldrums."How do you know my cell phone was missing?"

"A man called me yesterday,asking me if I am your mother.He asked me to get in touch with you to retract your cell phone.He gave me an address——33floor in Golden office building where you can get your phone there."

"Do you know the place?"

Certainly he knew,it was the place where he interviewed,then the man having called his mother was probably he middle-aged man,his conductor.

It made sense that either the owner of the bookstore or the policeman would have gave the cell phone to him.

"Well,bye bye mammy,I am gonna get my cell phone.If grandpa returned,please make sure informing me instantly..."

Cutting the QQ telephone,Xia grabbed a couple of noodles,left the internet cafe,and took a taxi to the Gold office building.
