Chapter 86: Do I Really Have to Be This Hard on Myself?
Faced with such a scene, Wang Ba and He Wu were completely shocked, having never heard or seen such things.
Is there really no ghosts in the world?
If there are no ghosts, how could these dead things appear at night?
"Run quickly!" Wang Ba couldn’t care less about the unconscious Yang Wen, turning on his heels and running off.
At this moment of life and death, thoughts about companions or shared hardships are nonsense.
Running fast to survive is what truly matters.
Wang Ba was fast, and in an instant, he had sprinted over ten meters.
Only then did He Wu react, and he followed suit by running away.
"There’s someone fainted from fright. Our immediate task is to find a way to keep these two!" Lin Tian whispered from the darkness.
He had suspected that the mole was Wang Ba, and also considered that it might not just be one person.
Thankfully, he had prepared beforehand, and tonight he planned to keep them all here.
Adjusting the wig on his head, Lin Tian straightened the mourning clothes on his body, ready to surprise the two of them.
"Ba, wait for me!" He Wu, after running a distance, finally began to feel exhausted.
"Run damn it run, aren’t you afraid that ghost thing will catch up!" Wang Ba panted heavily, his hand resting on the wall.
"Calm down! Calm down!"
He Wu, although terrified, still maintained the ability to think: "There’s no such thing as ghosts in this world, we might have been tricked!"
"Tricked by people?" He Wu’s words snapped Wang Ba back to reality.
That’s right, there are no ghosts in this world. Being shocked just now, he was utterly flustered without any time to react.
"What do you mean?" Wang Ba spoke.
"We should go back and investigate, if it’s a ghost we run, if it’s a person we..." He Wu made a throat-slitting gesture.
"Going back? If you want to go back, go on your own!" Right now, all Wang Ba wanted was to escape, going back felt impossible.
Papier-mâché figures in the hallway, and wreaths at the end of the corridor.
Plus the darkness of the environment.
In such surroundings, any normal person would hardly want to stay.
"You better think clearly, if Yang Wen is left here, neither of us can escape!" He Wu’s voice suddenly turned serious.
Joining Wang Ba was a decision he and Yang Wen made carefully, but what Wang Ba did was utterly disappointing.
During hardship, he only cared about himself.
These words gave Wang Ba a jolt.
Exactly, if Yang Wen is left, and is caught.
There’s no guarantee he wouldn’t betray He Wu and himself.
Once exposed, given Bai Shishi’s thunderous ways.
The consequences are simply unimaginable.
Even if his uncle Wang Quan could shield him, he might have to face dire situations.
"No, I have to save Yang Wen" Wang Ba quickly decided, it was imperative to take Yang Wen away.
"Let’s go! Back!"
He Wu smiled slightly, simultaneously having his own small thoughts, if tonight’s matter could end smoothly, he should reconsider whether to continue following Wang Ba!
The two of them returned again, but before long, they were once more frightened, retreating repeatedly.
Black long hair hung down, a multicolored mourning dress, black floral shoes on the feet, this attire was exactly like a person standing in front.
"He Wu, is this a ghost!" This time, seeing the ghost’s appearance clearly, Wang Ba’s worldview completely shattered.
So there are real ghosts in this world!
"I don’t believe there are ghosts!" He Wu spoke against his instincts, but his trembling body and the chill on his back had already betrayed him.
"Are you human or ghost!" He Wu summoned his courage and asked.
"I died so tragically!"
"I am so cold, it’s so cold down there, come join me!"
Lin Tian frantically imitated a woman’s sharp voice shouting, and just then, a gust of wind blew, scattering the ground’s paper money, toppling all the papel-mâché figures aligned against the wall.
The momentum was terrifying.
"He...Wu...let’s... go!" Wang Ba was so scared he almost wet his pants.
"Ba, let’s both charge!" Though afraid, He Wu still decided to catch the female ghost in front along with Wang Ba to find out the truth.
"Are you crazy, He Wu, two living men catching a ghost?" Wang Ba didn’t understand He Wu’s self-harming thoughts.
"Grab it and we’ll know if it’s human or ghost!" He Wu knew he had to act first, otherwise Wang Ba would definitely not act.
"Haha...don’t go, join me!" Lin Tian, dressed in a multicolored mourning robe, donning a wig, wearing black cloth shoes, thought this attire could scare the two, but didn’t expect He Wu to maintain a shred of sanity at this time.
In desperation, he could only suppress his voice further, creating eerie sounds to scare them away.
"I’m not playing anymore, I’m outta here!" Unable to bear it anymore, Wang Ba made a final decision, turned around, and left running.
"Haha!" He Wu chuckled self-deprecatingly.
True friendship is seen in adversity, these words are not false.
"Today, I’m ready!" Regardless if it’s human or ghost, He Wu wanted to find out.
Suddenly, the female ghost charged forward, the black shoe directly kicking He Wu’s face.
He Wu’s startled face distorted instantly, and he fell heavily to the ground, unconscious.
Lin Tian had no choice but to do this, He Wu and Yang Wen were at most accomplices, Wang Ba, the mastermind, couldn’t be allowed to escape.
After knocking He Wu out, Lin Tian immediately sprinted to chase Wang Ba.
Wang Ba sped down the stairs, rapidly moving his feet, desperately wishing to leave this place.
"Bang!" Wang Ba rushed too fast and misstepped in the dark night, directly falling flat on his back, the black bag in hand flying high.
"Ouch!" Wang Ba exclaimed in pain, rubbing the back of his head.
The black bag fell from above, landing squarely on Wang Ba’s face, the black box inside impacted, its lid popping open, foul liquid pouring out.
Feeling dizzy from being thrown, Wang Ba sensed liquid mixed with solids streaming onto his face.
Smelling the unfamiliar stench, Wang Ba dry-heaved while quickly getting up: "Damn, so smelly!"
Lin Tian chasing Wang Ba saw him dry-heaving on the ground, quickly approaching, but was stopped by a wave of stench.
Wang Ba stood up, wobbling, looking at the multicolored mourning-dressed ghost standing on the stairs, pondering: "In supernatural novels, it says evil spirits fear filthy things, could it be she fears me?"
Thinking this, Wang Ba took two steps forward.
"Damn, this stinks! Worse than stinky tofu!" Lin Tian forcibly held back the urge to vomit, cursing, and unintentionally backing up two steps when spotting Wang Ba advancing.
"Oh, she really fears me!" Seeing the ghost back two steps confirmed Wang Ba’s thoughts.
"This way I can rescue both He Wu and Yang Wen!" Wang Ba stared at the mess on the ground, thought for a while, and finally inhaled deeply to make up his mind.
"Damn, do you have to be so ruthless to yourself!" Seeing Wang Ba smeared dung all over his face and body, Lin Tian was dumbfounded.
Having smeared the dung, Wang Ba stared at the ghost, Lin Tian dressed as a ghost stared at Wang Ba.
They looked at each other, having a moment.
What an intense confrontation!!!
