Stealing a half-day of leisure, I stayed in the bookstore until almost seven o'clock before leaving.
During this process, I couldn't refuse the boss's repeated requests, so I reluctantly tried a lemon cupcake, a plate of Italy with meat sauce, and two grilled sausages that had been rolled in spicy chicken powder.
"I don't even need to eat dinner..." I rubbed my stomach and decided to take a walk home.
This aids digestion.
The only problem is that the weather is hot and humid, and walking like this for a while will definitely make you sweat a lot.
However, since entering the workforce, I have maintained the habit of showering every day, and I'm also planning to do some laundry today. I'm not too averse to sweating.
To my surprise, perhaps because of the " Assassin " drink, I was able to lose weight passively and even lost my belly fat. Moreover, I was good at using shadows to cover myself up, so when I returned to my rented apartment, I was only sweating as much as I had expected.
"The Spirit Channeling, Ms. Dai, will be here at nine o'clock, so there are still about two hours." Seeing that I had plenty of time, I decided to take a shower, enjoy the fan, and play some games.
As for air conditioning, the weather isn't too hot, and since becoming Assassin, I feel I've developed a strong tolerance for stuffiness and heat.
Actually, it's not so much that I could bear it, but rather that I genuinely didn't feel it was that hot or stuffy.
As I entered the restroom, I looked in the mirror and suddenly a question occurred to me:
The female ghost was hired Detective Sherlock Moriarty. She didn't show any intention of harming me. Should I remind her? I've found Spirit Channeling to tell her to avoid me and go out and hide for a while.
She meant no harm, was very friendly, and her reasons for dealing with the mysterious cult were convincing enough... She must have felt Ms. Dai's power last night, and even if I didn't tell her, she should be able to guess what would happen next... I thought for a moment and made up my mind.
However, a new problem arose:
How should I remind her?
I don't know where she is. I should contact her!
I looked around but couldn't find any clues; it seemed I was the only person in the house.
Well, there's only one person, but I don't know about the ghost.
Perhaps she's hiding somewhere nearby, and I can just talk to the air? Talking to myself feels pretty silly... I thought back to last night and turned my gaze back to the mirror.
Looking at myself in the mirror, I whispered:
"I've hired Spirit Channeling; he'll be there at nine."
As soon as I finished speaking, the mirror in front of me suddenly became deep and dark, as if it had been absorbed by the surrounding light.
The pale-faced female ghost, wearing a small soft hat and a retro long dress, then appeared in the mirror and nodded gently:
"Thanks."
In the blink of an eye, her image vanished, and the mirror returned to normal.
I breathed a sigh of relief, hung up my change of clothes, and started taking a shower.
While washing, I suddenly froze:
The female ghost is gone, so why should I spend a lot of money to hire a Spirit Channeling?
The female ghost clearly meant no harm; she was even secretly protecting me. Why would I spend a fortune hiring a Spirit Channeling?
That's 20,000 yuan! It could go up to 50,000!
Isn't this a waste of money?
A wave of financial pain washed over me, and I felt it necessary to find a way to cancel the order.
Anyway, it's still early, and Ms. Daly shouldn't have left yet unless she lives in the suburbs.
But I couldn't be sure if the female ghost harbored any ill intentions... Hesitating, I dried myself off and got dressed.
After careful consideration, I decided to use the tactic of "delaying" to postpone the exorcism.
If anything seems amiss during this process, immediately call Ms. Dai over!
Sigh, breaking the contract is truly shameful... I went back to my room, picked up my phone, and sent a message to " Sleeping with Corpses ":
" Ms. Dai, the ghost that was haunting me seems to have left."
That's the truth, but they didn't explain why.
"Indeed..." Ms. Dai replied after a dozen seconds, "Could it be that the restrictions I imposed last night scared her away? Or perhaps you were too lewd and scare her off? Didn't I tell you to watch ' A Chinese Ghost Story ' to learn how to deal with female ghosts?"
I think it's more likely that " A Chinese Ghost Story " would make the female ghost shy... I didn't dare reply much, and cautiously said:
"Have no idea.
"How about this, you don't come today. I'll observe for a few more days. If the female ghost doesn't reappear, then we can let it go. If there are still problems, I'll let you know?"
After hesitating for a moment, I added:
"I can reimburse you for the preparations you made beforehand; no, I can pay for reasonable expenses."
"Let's leave it at that for now. I thought I could catch a female ghost to play with," Ms. Dai said with an emoji.
Upon hearing this, I immediately relaxed, feeling a sense of satisfaction as if I had made a large sum of money.
Having resolved this matter, I happily started playing the game.
At 11 o'clock, since I didn't spend any money on dinner tonight and didn't have to pay for exorcising ghosts, I decided to go downstairs and buy some good food to treat myself.
"Eggplant, there has to be grilled eggplant..." I muttered to myself as I rushed out of the residential area.
Before I could even choose a barbecue stall, I saw that group of punk-style thugs again.
Among them, the hoodlum nicknamed " Big Girl " was diligently handing out flyers.
His dyed burnt-yellow hair and eyebrows contrasted sharply with his sales pitch for the tutoring center.
This tutoring center is interesting... As I glanced around, I spotted a familiar face sitting at the barbecue stall on the right.
Eldest Miss Huang Beibei!
Is this rich heiress eating barbecue at a roadside stall? Does President Huang know about this? I casually glanced at Eldest Miss Huang's companion.
If it's a man, hehe, that's some serious gossip!
Uh, a girl, a girl wearing black-rimmed glasses, not too old, about the same age as Eldest Miss Huang... I felt a pang of regret and prepared to look away.
Just then, Eldest Miss Huang raised her head and looked over.
At that moment, our eyes met.
She immediately stood up and walked towards me.
This is a little awkward... But there's nothing to be embarrassed about. I live nearby, what's wrong with going out for some barbecue? I didn't run away, I waited for Eldest Miss Huang and her companions to arrive.
Eldest Miss Huang stopped in front of me and hummed in agreement.
"I need your help with something."
The girl next to her, wearing black-rimmed glasses, asked curiously:
"Dad, who is he?"
Pfft... What kind of address is that? The relationships between young people these days are so complicated... I didn't know how to respond, so I could only force a smile to express my confusion.
"The person who wins the bet in our dorm is someone else's dad," Eldest Miss Huang Beibei explained simply.
She pointed to the girl next to her:
Her family runs a tutoring center.
"I'd like you to sign up for that Dream Cram School and see what their classes are like."
"I'll pay for it, and there will be a bonus for your help later."
Signing up for tutoring classes... I couldn't help but glance sideways at the thugs diligently handing out flyers.
