I Heard That I'll Be Super Fierce After My Death 54 The Lift Is Full

Lin Wu felt a little puzzled. He thought about it and spoke, "Maybe, Jianing heard of you or have seen you before in some places? If that's the case, it's normal that she knows of you, but you don't know of her."

"No, you don't understand." Xiao Qin shook her head. "If she stayed beside you before, it's impossible for me not to know her…"

"You are that confident?"

Lin Wu laughed. He then nodded. "Alright, I'll ask her."

He turned and glanced at Pei Jianing as he asked, "Jianing, where did you know Xiao Qin from?"

Pei Jianing revealed a perplexed expression. She only spoke after thinking for some time, "...Chu..rch.."

"Church?" Lin Wu involuntarily laughed. "It couldn't be a marriage in a church, right? Is she my wife?"

After speaking, he turned to glance at Xiao Qin. Xiao Qin also had a puzzled look on her face. Apparently, she had no impressions of Pei Jianing at all. She was mumbling to herself, "A church..?"

Pei Jianing c.o.c.ked her head, recalling her memories. She then spoke again, "...She...got...married...in...place...of...me…"

"She subst.i.tuted you for marriage?" Lin Wu was astonished. "Who was the groom?"

"...You…" Pei Jianing pointed to Lin Wu weakly.

"Oh, before you reincarnated, she subst.i.tuted you to marry me?" A flash of understanding flashed in his mind. But Lin Wu was still puzzled. "Why would you need her to subst.i.tute for you?"

"It's wrong...I don't have any impression of that at all." Xiao Qin suddenly shook her head. "I can be very sure that this is the first time I've met Pei Jianing. In the past, I've never even heard of her.

"Could it be that your reincarnation failed and you lost some memories?" Lin Wu wondered.

"But I didn't discover any periods of missing memories though."

Xiao Qin was a little depressed. She knitted her brows together. "Also, I'm known as the 'connector' because I've always been representing the dead to interact with the living. But the two of you are both dead people, so why would you require my services? Moreover, I originally am…" She coughed. "I mean why must I subst.i.tute her to marry you?"

"That's strange then." Lin Wu touched his chin. "Given my many years of experience in writing novels, either the two of you have some mistakes in your memories, or you two are reincarnators of different periods."

"I'm a ghost, I'm formed from memories. How would there be a mistake in my memories?"

Xiao Qin was speechless. She shook her head. "Forget it, I will stop thinking about this, as I won't be able to make sense of it. How could I not know how I reincarnated?"

"Jianing, you can't remember as well?" Lin Wu glanced at Pei Jianing.

He also didn't have any hope that Pei Jianing could explain things clearly given how difficult it was for her to talk.

Pei Jianing had a stupefied look on her face, like she had gone silly. After some time, she shook her head. "...Can't...remember...clearly…"

"Alright then, let's stop thinking about it. You are so obedient." Lin Wu touched her head.

"...Mn…" Pei Jianing closed her eyes in enjoyment.

Xiao Qin glanced at the two of them and couldn't help but mumble, "How strange, you already know me despite having died not that long ago. According to logic, the amount of time in which you two knew each other shouldn't be long. Why are her feelings for you so deep? I've also never heard of you mentioning her before."

"Is that so?" Lin Wu had a puzzled look on his face. He asked, "Jianing, how long had the two of us known each other for?"

Pei Jianing blinked, she thought for some time before saying two words, "...Very...long…"

"...Sure. An excellent reply."

Lin Wu speechlessly flashed his thumb. It seemed like Pei Jianing couldn't remember it clearly.

"Alright, let's head to the hospital now," Xiao Qin spoke, seemingly not in a good mood.

Lin Wu rolled his eyes at her but also didn't continue talking. He turned on the engine and drove to the hospital.

...

...

After half an hour.

The color of the sky was dark, the night had descended.

A red Mazda slowly maneuvered into one of the hospital's parking lots. It then slowly stopped in the corner of it.

"Hu, we've reached."

Lin Wu pulled out the key and opened the car door. Before he got down, he didn't forget to say goodbye to Pei Jianing. "Jianing, see you later."

Pei Jianing obediently nodded.

Xiao Qin directly pa.s.sed-through the car. She wasn't in a good mood as she grumbled, "Your driving speed is so slow. The journey should have just taken 20 minutes, but you only reached here after 30 minutes."

"I'm a new driver, it's better to drive slower. Are you not afraid that I would die in a car accident?" Lin Wu rolled his eyes.

"What are you afraid of? You would reach the pinnacle of your life once you died." Xiao Qin chortled.

"I won't be able to bang you even if I die…" Lin Wu grumbled.

"..." Xiao Qin's lips twitched slightly. "I'm a ghost. No matter how low your voice is, I will be able to hear it if you speak."

Lin Wu coughed. Just when he was prepared to tease her a bit more, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart. He involuntarily turned to stare at the hospital's entrance.

However, he didn't see anything.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Qin asked.

"There's a ghost spying on me." Lin Wu frowned. "Maybe, it's Xia Bing. Now that she lost the ring, our shared connection has also vanished. I think I won't be able to see her."

Xiao Qin shook her head. "Don't worry, she's just a weak malicious ghost whose spirit is about to scatter. Only ordinary ghosts would fear her."

"That's true. You seemed to be much stronger than Xia Bing." Lin Wu nodded.

Although Xia Bing's strength was very great, it wasn't to the extent where he couldn't retaliate. But as for Xiao Qin, as long as she touched him, he wouldn't be able to move anymore.

"That's only natural."

Xiao Qin snorted. "There are several millions of people who die due to unnatural causes every year in the world. From them, only a few with strong enough obsessions could become ghosts, let alone becoming malicious ghosts in which heavy resentment was required.

"Malicious ghosts are so strong. If they can do whatever they please like you, they would be invincible." Lin Wu sighed.

"I also cannot do whatever I please. Also, how could there still be any ghosts in the world that are as free as me? I'm the only exception."

Xiao Qin then rolled her eyes. "Ghosts are just humans who haven't completely died. They only have motivation due to their obsessions. Also, ordinary ghosts have a very weak influence on reality. Just like what you said, the many ghosts in the morgue worked together and could barely grab a weak woman. Even when they combined forces, their influence on reality is far weaker than a malicious ghost."

As they spoke, the two of them already left the car park.

Lin Wu took out his phone and the name card s.h.i.+ Qiuhong gave him. He then called the number on the card.

"Hi? h.e.l.lo?"

s.h.i.+ Qiuhong's voice rang out from the other end.

"It's me. I brought my girlfriend here." Lin Wu chortled while casting another glance at Xiao Qin who was beside him. Right now, she was still in Lu Shaoyan's appearance.

Sadly, Xiao Qin only allowed him alone to see her. If not, if he was seen by others while walking with the superstar down the street, how much face would that generate?

Naturally, it was also possible that he would make the headlines the next day, and everything about him would be ferreted out by Lu Shaoyan's crazy fans.

"Ah, so fast?" s.h.i.+ Qiuhong's tone was a little excited. She hurriedly spoke, "Where are you both?"

"We are about to enter the hospital. Should I look for you in the office?" Lin Wu asked.

s.h.i.+ Qiuhong happily replied, "Alright, I'll wait for you two."

"See you later."

Lin Wu then hung up the phone. After that, he and Xiao Qin quickly entered the hospital and went to the lift on the first floor.

Today, there were very little people in the hospital. No one was using the lift.

"Ding."

A ring echoed through the air, and the lift's doors opened.

Lin Wu had his hands placed on his waist and walked into the empty lift. Just when he was prepared to press the 5th-floor b.u.t.ton, he realized that Xiao Qin hadn't come in. He couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing outside? Quickly enter."

Xiao Qin stood at the lift's entrance; her gaze was a little strange as she stared at him. She shook his head. "It's fine, I will head up by pa.s.sing through the ceilings. Which floor is it?"

"Why do you want to pa.s.s-through the ceilings for nothing?"

Lin Wu was speechless, but he didn't really mind. He then spoke, "The 5th floor."

"Alright, I'll wait for you there." Xiao Qin waved her hands at him.

Lin Wu rolled his eyes. He then pressed the 5th-floor b.u.t.ton and spoke, "But I want to talk to you."

"I also want to." Xiao Qin shrugged.

"You want to? Why don't you enter then?" Lin Wu was astonished.

At this moment, just when the lift's doors slowly began to close, he saw a strange smile on Xiao Qin's face through the gap. Her breathy voice then drifted inside.

"Because...the lift is full."

After that, a thudding sound could be heard as the lift's doors closed tightly. The lift then began to go up.

"The lift is full?" Lin Wu started. He turned his head and surveyed the completely empty lift. All of a sudden, he felt a chill rising in his heart.
