The place that ‘Egg Roll’ rented was a small one-bedroom apartment. It was not close to her internship place. It took about half an hour to commute during non-travel peak hours. In addition, the house’s water, electricity, facilities, and decoration were all old items from ten years ago, and the walls were still leaking.
Even most of the lights in the house were purchased by her at her own expense.
Compared with the house she shared before, it was completely different.
But this was the most suitable and cheapest house she could find in the short term. The rent for this month was 2,500 yuan, which stretched her.
If ‘Egg Roll’ was not scared to live in that shared house, she wouldn’t have resorted to this desperate measure if she felt that the ghost of the dead male internet celebrity appeared by the bed and entangled herself every evening.
It was 7:43 in the evening.
The corridor outside the door was long, dark, and silent. Just one look at it made ‘Egg Roll’ feel scared.
She couldn’t help but clench the only light source in her hand. Looking at Gu Zhisang’s indifferent face on the screen and the constantly refreshing barrage, she felt a little confident and gritted her teeth and went out.
When the not-so-sensitive voice-controlled lights in the corridor of the old community suddenly went out, she was so scared that she almost dropped her phone. She coughed loudly twice to make the dim corridor light up again.
‘Egg Roll’ wanted to cry but had no tears and said: “Sangsang, I’m still afraid. I always feel uneasy… You must not hang up the microphone!”
Tens of millions of viewers were in the live broadcast room, and there were all kinds of people.
People with bad tempers immediately started typing on the keyboard and complained about ‘Egg Roll’: cowardly and noisy…
Gu Zhisang, who had never said a word, changed her usual behavior and spoke to comfort her.
Her eyes were always on the figure of ‘Egg Roll’ on the screen or behind her.
Egg Roll‘s feeling was right.
On another level that ordinary people cannot see or sense, a ball of gray gas barely gathered into a thin human shape, following closely behind the terrified ‘Egg Roll’.
It was not a ghost.
But the mist contained emotions such as unwillingness and resentment.
Its blurred head showed a downward leaning movement, almost covering the top of ‘Egg Roll’s head and back, as if this ball of gray mist wanted to get close to the girl’s ear and tell her something important.
An invisible, extremely light blue-white halo enveloped the body of ‘Egg Roll’ – it was the protection formed by the spell that Gu Zhisang had recited three times with her word by word.
This layer of protection separated the mottled and turbid corpse energy and evil spirit on her body, stripped off the obsession of the deceased that she had seen at the scene of the sudden death downstairs of the shared building, and blocked it so that the obsession could not attach to her.
Even so, the other party didn’t relax his intention to entangle her and followed her step by step.
This made ‘Egg Roll’ still feel a chill on her back, but not as severe as before.
Gu Zhisang saw this thing and realized its uniqueness.
However, her attention was still on ‘Egg Roll’.
Although the spell stripped away the obsession and evil spirit, the filth around ‘Egg Roll’ did not decrease at all, but the color was slightly lighter.
The corpse energy was rolling, as if it came from her bones.
Interesting!
Gu Zhisang thought.
She silently watched ‘Egg Roll’ take a taxi downstairs and reported the location of the shared rental place:
“Mister, please drive to xx Garden, it’s better to drive faster…”
Before ‘Egg Roll’ finished speaking, the driver stepped on the accelerator excitedly: “Sister, I understand, I am a loyal fan of Master Gu! I encountered such a big event of catching people and exorcising ghosts?!”
The audience was also stunned. After listening carefully, aside from the navigation sound, they discovered the driver’s other mobile phone in the car was playing Gu Zhisang’s live broadcast room!
It was a coincidence to meet a fan of “Spiritual Affairs”.
The driver said: “I have been driving a taxi in x city for more than 10 years. I am not bragging. No one knows the main roads and small roads here better than me. Don’t worry, sister, I guarantee that you will get there in 15 minutes, and you will not delay Master Gu from catching ghosts!”
[It’s so funny. Tonight, the driver is going to be the driving god.]
[Good guy, the driver turned off the navigation and got excited in the middle of the night.]
[Apart from anything else, the taxi drivers in major cities drive fast. I was lucky enough to meet one when I was catching a train. It was bumpy, but it was also ridiculously fast!]
[……]
The driver dropped ‘Egg Roll’ off outside the community where we shared a rental apartment within 15 minutes, and refused to collect the fare.
‘Egg Roll’ held up her phone and walked into the community.
She had just moved out not long ago, and because the rent and deposit had not expired, the landlord did not take the key away at the time, and told her that she could move back anytime if she changed her mind;
So the community security guard knew her.
When she went in, the familiar security guard greeted her, saying: “I haven’t seen you much these 2 days.”
‘Egg Roll’ forced a smile, looking at the community shrouded in the night, the uneasiness and fear in her heart became stronger.
If Gu Zhisang hadn’t said that, she couldn’t solve the strange incident that happened to her if she hadn’t come back, she really didn’t want to set foot here again.
When she reached the corridor, she lowered her voice and lowered her head, saying to the camera:
“The flower bed over there… is where Xiao Wu fell from the building.”
She didn’t dare to look, fearing that the horrible and strange death ten days ago would once again appear in her mind.
But Gu Zhisang could see that the obsessive evil spirit following closely behind her became more agitated after entering the community.
Especially when it approached the flower bed, which was the place where it died, it almost twisted.
Surging resentment and other mixed emotions also affected ‘Egg Roll’, making her hands and feet cold and shivering.
When she came, she sent a message to the group of roommates. Fearing that she couldn’t explain it clearly in a short time, she said that her things fell here, and she wanted to bring a male friend to help move;
She was afraid that she would live broadcast there and the girl who shared the room was not dressed properly and was accidentally photographed.
Twenty minutes later, dozens of messages were replied in the group.
“We’re here.” ‘Egg Roll’ said.
She didn’t take the key to open the door but chose to knock.
After a while, the person in the room opened the door, revealing a dissatisfied young woman with a headscarf:
“Yuan Yunfang?”
“Why did you suddenly bring a man here so late? Can’t you take anything tomorrow? We all need to take a shower, it’s so inconvenient.”
As she said that, the young woman with a headscarf turned her head and looked behind her. She didn’t see anyone else, so she looked at ‘Egg Roll’, whose real name was Yuan Yunfang with suspicion:
“Where is your boyfriend?”
“Let’s go in and talk.”
At this time, Gu Zhisang, who had been silent all the time, raised an eyebrow as if she had sensed something, and raised her hand without a sound.
She lowered her eyes to examine the cards on the table, stroked the cards with her slender white fingertips, took out one of them and turned it over, looked at the signature on it, and then picked up her phone to send a message to the contact on it.
After putting down the things in her hands, Yuan Yunfang was already sitting on the sofa in the living room.
Due to the perspective, Gu Zhisang couldn’t see the whole house, and only saw the half-bodies of two people in pajamas.
Even so, she also made a light “tsk”.
The whole house was filled with corpse energy.
The obsessive evil spirit that was clinging to Yuan Yunfang’s back was about to be twisted into a dough twist.
There was indeed something wrong with this shared rental location.
At this time, several roommates were at home. A pair of young female college students were old acquaintances who had lived here and had not moved out. One of them was surnamed Gao and the other was surnamed He, who had just opened the door for Yuan Yunfang.
They were the ones who had been talking and asking questions to Yuan Yunfang. The other two were new residents who had just moved in a few days ago.
