Chapter 85: People Can Scare People to Death
Picking up the cigarette that fell on the ground, the shop owner looked at Lin Tian with deep meaning, "It’s so late, brother, just be honest, what are you up to?"
"To be honest, I bought these things to scare people!" Lin Tian confessed truthfully.
"Scaring living people?" A look of astonishment flashed across the old face of the shop owner, this kind of business was a first for him.
"Yeah!" Lin Tian nodded.
"That’s easy!" The shop owner chuckled, "Buy a funeral gown, get some paper figures and paper money... If that’s not enough, add a couple of big wreaths, guaranteed to scare anyone!"
"Great! I’ll take these!" Lin Tian paid with a mischievous grin.
Coming out of the funeral supply shop, Lin Tian muttered to himself, "I still need to buy a wig!"
After purchasing everything, Lin Tian took a taxi to Xianglong Tea House.
At the same time, in a park opposite the tea house building, three shadows sneaked to a trash can.
"Ba, what are we doing?" one shadow asked, puzzled.
"Giving that wretched Bai Shishi a surprise!" Wang Ba took a black bag out of the trash can, opened it, and looked inside.
Inside the black bag was a box, emitting a rank odor.
"It’s so smelly!" Another shadow couldn’t help but pinch his nose.
"Ba means to give this box to Bai Shishi?" One shadow understood.
"That’s right, tonight we’ll put this box on Bai Shishi’s desk!" Wang Ba put the box back into the black bag.
"How do we get in so late?" Another shadow asked.
"Fool, I have the key!" Wang Ba flaunted a key in front of the two.
The other two knew with just one look at the key that it was the key to the rear door of the building; as head of the security department, it made sense for Wang Ba to have the key.
"Ba, you really have a plan!" The two shadows complimented him maliciously.
The three shadows chatted and laughed as they headed towards the building.
When Lin Tian arrived at Xianglong Tea House by taxi, it was already past nine o’clock at night. He took the items he’d bought off the taxi and headed towards the company’s rear door under the driver’s curious gaze.
Just as he entered the rear door, walking in the dark hallway, Lin Tian’s ears suddenly twitched.
Something’s up.
The sound was... a key entering a keyhole.
It was true that the building had security guards on duty at night, but those guards could only patrol outside the building and couldn’t enter the company itself.
Bai Shishi gave me the rear door key to enter; who else could be coming in?
"Looks like there’s indeed a mole!" Lin Tian muttered to himself, quickly disappearing into the dark corridor.
As Lin Tian rushed up the staircase, he thought to himself, "They’re definitely targeting Bai Shishi. If I want to catch them off guard and scare them, I must arrive first!"
It’s important to note that there’s also a Bai Shishi’s office on the sixth floor of the cosmetics company.
"Ba, I heard there’s a female employee’s changing room on the second floor, should we take a look?" As they reached the second floor, one shadow couldn’t restrain his curiosity.
"Business first, after we’re done you can play however you want!" Wang Ba flashed a knowing smile.
"Haha, I’m so excited I can’t hold it in!" The shadow chuckled foolishly.
Taking the stairs via the emergency exit to the sixth floor, Wang Ba was the first in the corridor, but suddenly halted.
"What’s wrong?" The other two shadows sensed something was off with Wang Ba and their faces turned pale in fear.
"Something seems off!" Wang Ba stared at the dark corridor; he could swear he saw a shadow with long hair flash by.
The two shadows peeked out at the dark corridor, "There’s nothing weird besides pure darkness!"
"Maybe I saw it wrong!" Wang Ba mumbled to comfort himself.
"Ba, did you...see a ghost?" one shadow joked.
Wang Ba was feeling uneasy inside, "Don’t talk nonsense!"
"Haha, who knew Ba was scared of ghosts, there’s absolutely no such thing in this world!" Another shadow couldn’t help but tease Wang Ba.
"Stop talking, follow me!" Wang Ba rubbed his eyes, feeling that tonight’s atmosphere was indeed odd.
"He Wu, you go to the surveillance room and turn off the cameras!" Wang Ba ordered one shadow.
The shadow named He Wu vanished into the corridor and soon returned, "Ba, it’s done!"
The three shadows walked down the corridor, swaggering to Bai Shishi’s office door. Wang Ba took a key out of his pocket and inserted it into the keyhole.
The sound of swallowing echoed loudly.
Following the sound, Wang Ba turned his attention, finding He Wu seemingly in extreme fright, staring wide-eyed in a particular direction.
His neck stiffly turning, his eyes peering into the darkness.
"Ah!" Wang Ba exclaimed, dropping the key from his hand to the floor.
Countless white paper money floated down from above, as if someone were throwing it, yet no one was visible!
"Gulp!" Wang Ba’s heart was in his throat, he leaned against the wall.
The other two were scared stiff, tightly pressed against the wall.
The paper money kept drifting down, an ominous atmosphere pervading the corridor.
"Ba...Ba, Yang Wen, what do we do?" He Wu was ashen with fear.
"Didn’t you...say there’s no such thing as...ghosts?" The shadow called Yang Wen stuttered.
"Get inside, quick!" Faced with such eerie sights, Wang Ba hurriedly picked up the key from the floor.
Panic-stricken, they opened the door and slipped inside, daring to breathe only once the door was shut.
"Gulp!" But upon entering the room, their throats simultaneously trembled intensely.
White paper money scattered everywhere, and a person with long hair sat in a chair, wearing a colorful funeral gown. With the faint moonlight from the window, the person had no face...
Behind this person were two large wreaths; their white paper and black characters of "Offering" were so pronounced, so striking, so terrifying.
"Damn!"
"Run!"
Wang Ba shouted, reaching to open the door, only to find it locked from outside.
"Open up! Open the door!" He Wu shouted uncontrollably.
"Don’t come near, don’t come near!" Compared to He Wu and Wang Ba, Yang Wen’s psyche collapsed first; trembling all over, he felt his crotch wet.
Panic-stricken, Wang Ba kicked open the office door, "Quick, go!"
He Wu followed closely behind Wang Ba but found Yang Wen hadn’t come out.
Wang Ba glanced inside, seeing Yang Wen faint with fear, a revolting stench assailed them, with feces and urine scared out of him.
"Where are you going?" An eerie female voice echoed in the dark corridor!
Accompanied by the eerie voice, an empty corridor suddenly displayed a wreath at the end.
The entire corridor was covered with paper money.
In the middle of the corridor, there were many paper figures, male on the left, female on the right.
Smiling faces, blushed cheeks, vacant eyes.
The corridor transformed into a passage to the underworld.
