"Brother, you can't park here, hurry up and get off." The taxi driver is already urging me.
"I still have to go." I replied in a low voice.
Soon, Zhao Hui has arrived at the car, I quickly sit a position inside, Zhao Hui then into the car, slam the door.
"Hurry up!" Zhao Ni's tone was extremely panicked.
The taxi driver pressed the gas pedal and the car left the Fahua Community.
"Where are we going?" he asked for the address again.
Zhao Ni didn't say anything; her face was deathly pale, as if she had encountered some great fear, her spirit at the breaking point.
For a moment, I couldn't figure out the situation, so I just casually told the driver the address, which was the street that I remembered from my previous memories.
About twenty minutes later, the car stopped by the side of the road.
Zhao Ni got out of the car in a mechanical motion.
After I followed her down, she still trembled weakly, crouching down, hugging her knees, sitting by the side of the road.
The sunlight shone on Zhao Ni's face. Although she was in her thirties, she wasn't old. Besides the faint traces of time left by years, there was a blend of fear and illness, adding another kind of beauty.
Standing beside her, I still didn't speak a word.
Zhao Ni's reaction was indeed terrified. If I suddenly spoke, it might cause her stress, and she needs to calm down herself first.
After a few more minutes, Zhao Ni's face finally regained some color.
She finally lifted her head and trembled as she said, "Sorry, Brother Tang, I lied to you... I didn't find any money."
A heavy feeling settled in my heart.
And Zhao Ni's words afterwards made my face color drastically change!
"My brother... has come back..."
It turned out that a few days ago, Zhao Ni saw the news that the incomplete building had collapsed. That's when she understood that her brother's matter should be resolved.
She was about to contact me when suddenly she heard someone knocking at the door.
She started to look through the cat's eye and saw a delivery man holding a box for her to sign for.
But when she opened the door, it turned out to be her brother Zhao Kang standing outside!
At that moment, she was so scared that she directly closed the door.
As she turned around, Zhao Kang was standing behind her, smiling and telling her that he would take good care of her and fulfill the responsibilities of a brother.
She was so scared that she fainted directly.
When she woke up, she lay on the bed in her room.
She thought that maybe Zhao Kang's return was a nightmare, and she had actually been sleeping, only now waking up with her eyes open.
As soon as she stepped out of the living room, she heard noise coming from the kitchen, and there were several dishes on the table.
She knew it wasn't a dream, so she quickly tried to run away from home to find me.
To her surprise, as soon as she opened the door to the living room, Zhao Kang stood there smiling and asked what she was going to do. She was frightened again and fainted.
For several days, she was forced to stay under the same roof with Zhao Kang.
Although she didn't want to leave her brother, people are people, ghosts are ghosts, and dealing with them in such a way was too terrifying.
But she had no way to escape.
It wasn't until last night that Zhao Kang suddenly mentioned me, asking if she had found someone and looked for him.
She instantly understood that Zhao Kang might have some ulterior motives, and what Zhao Kang was like now, was completely different from the one who was alive.
Not wanting to involve me, she kept silent, only to faint again for no apparent reason.
When she woke up, Zhao Kang told her a few things, asking her to lie and say that she had found money, and someone had knocked on the door, tricking me to come over...
That's why she had the chance to wait for me at the gate of the community!
She thought that Zhao Kang might want to harm me, so when she saw me, she quickly got into my car and left with me.
As she spoke, Zhao Ni couldn't stop her tears from falling.
She choked and said, "My brother must have done something terrible. How could he become such a vicious ghost? Can't he go to rebirth peacefully?"
I'm covered in cold sweat. So, it really was right that Mengying guessed it.
Although the jade plaque is a means, facing a probably already become plague ghost without skin ghost is still a little terrifying.
By chance, Zhao Ni's reaction was also quick!
"Brother Tang... what should we do? How can we send my brother away?" Zhao Ni's eyes were full of worry.
I had a thoughtful look in my eyes, and didn't speak immediately.
I can go back now to find "Zhao Kang," but there's no need for that kind of risk!
Using the city god temple is the best way.
In this way, the jade plaque is left, and the favor is also given to the city god temple!
I immediately took out my phone and called Mengying.
On the other side, the phone was almost answered immediately. Mengying asked how things were going and she was about to go see the leader and Yang Gan.
Then I heard a ding sound, the elevator had arrived.
I briefly explained the situation with Zhao Ni to Mengying.
Mengying was obviously startled, she said: "I'll immediately contact Huang Shu, don't go over...”
There was a two-second pause in her voice, then she continued, "I'll give you the password lock. Shouldn't you go back to my house first? Zhao Ni's words... yes, you can bring her back here first to ensure her safety."
The phone was then hung up, and I received a text message from Mengying.
I relaxed slightly, Mengying's idea was exactly the same as mine, and I didn't have to propose it actively.
Looking at Zhao Ni one more time, I nodded and said, "I'll take care of your brother's matter. Let's go with me to a safe place to rest for a while."
If Zhao Kang doesn't get "eaten", Zhao Ni wouldn't be facing this misfortune.
For me, what prompted me to do all this was remorse.
And Mengying's actions were purely out of kindness.
Again, I hailed a cab and headed towards the high-end community where Mengying lived.
On the way, Zhao Ni's demeanor relaxed a lot. She kept glancing at me from time to time, with gratitude reflected in her eyes.
I couldn't say exactly, but I always felt that Zhao Ni had a sense of familiarity, as if she looked like someone else I knew.
Just looking closely, I couldn't figure out where she looked familiar.
Zhao Ni's face turned red, and she slightly lowered her head.
I stopped looking at her to avoid any misunderstandings.
When we arrived at Mengying's apartment complex, I didn't go through the underground garage. Instead, I registered directly at the entrance and went straight to the 33rd floor of the building.
The elevator door dinged open.
Below the fingerprint lock, there's a password key, and I entered the password to open the door.
Just then, I felt something wasn't quite right.
There was a faint chill that lingered around me.
The corridor was well-lit, and there was a shoe cabinet here, with bright incandescent lights.
However, the light seemed to be somewhat dim, especially behind me, which was quite chilly.
Before I could complete the password, my fingers stiffened slightly.
The glossy password key reflected a shadow as if it were a mirror at the edge.
My shadow was reflected in the edge mirror.
The most bizarre thing about it was this...
Oddly enough, there was another Zhao Ni beside me, but why wasn't her shadow reflected in it?
"Brother Tang? Why didn't you open the door?" Zhao Ni's voice suddenly caught my attention.
I could see Zhao Ni standing beside me out of the corner of my eye.
My main focus was still on the mirror.
A bizarre scene unfolded...
There was a shadow beside me again.
The shadow was distorted, resembling Zhao Ni but also like another person...
The person I don't know.
Then, a second distortion came, and the vague image of the other person instantly turned into Zhao Kang's.
Zhao Kang appeared and then vanished, to be replaced by Zhao Ni!
Goosebumps covered my entire body!
For a moment, my heart dropped into an ice cave.
I turned abruptly and locked eyes with Zhao Ni, who still looked the same, without any change.
"Brother Tang, what's wrong with you?" Zhao Ni's face showed a hint of confusion.
