"Is Lin Xin's ghost here?" Captain Yu's voice suddenly rang in Little Yan's ears. Little Yan raised her head, startled.
"When did you arrive?" Little Yan asked. She hadn't heard a single thing.
"We just arrived," Captain Yu purposely walked around Yao Xiaoyan to sit at the opposite side of her seat with a cup of coffee. He looked at Yao Xiaoyan and asked, "Were you talking to Lin Xin's ghost just now?"
Yao Xiaoyan laughed, "How is that possible!?" Have you seen too many ghost movies recently? "
Captain Yu placed his hands on the table and leaned forward slightly. He stared into Yao Xiaoyan's eyes and said, "Didn't you personally say you could see ghosts?"
Yao Xiaoyan was stunned. She didn't know if she should admit it or deny it.
"Actually, ghosts really do exist in this world. I've seen them since I was young." Captain Yu suddenly said without waiting for Yao Xiaoyan to reply.
Yao Xiaoyan was stunned. Captain Yu can see ghosts too? She raised her eyes to look at Captain Yu, expectation evident in her eyes. At least, there were people like her in this world.
"Do you want to hear my story?" Captain Yu looked at Yao Xiaoyan.
Yao Xiaoyan nodded.
At this moment, the door to the hotel opened. Dugu Ling was dressed in a black suit as he strolled into the hotel. Hu Zi was leading a doorman who was carrying luggage behind him.
"This rain is really heavy!" He had originally thought that he could still play abroad for a few more days, but who would have thought that he would return so quickly? He did not even have enough souvenirs to buy, and when he saw the young ladies of the film crew, he did not know what to do, but fortunately, he had the almighty Taobao.
Hu Zi mumbled to himself and knocked his head against Dugu Ling's body.
"Hmm, master, why did you suddenly …" Hu Zi clutched his nose that was in pain and was about to protest when he saw Yao Xiaoyan and Captain Yu seated on the coffee table. He let out a miserable cry.
The master didn't even have time to breathe after receiving the award. Even after flying back that night, he couldn't be at ease with Yao Xiaoyan. Yet, this Yao Xiaoyan was actually drinking coffee with a man.
"When I was young, I spent my days at my maternal grandma's house. There were two strange events in my grandma's village. One was that the village temple was a dual shrine, and if the village was a dead person, then there must be two …" He sat down with the captain and began to recount the stories of his childhood.
For more than a hundred years, the same thing had happened in the village. Therefore, every time one person died in the village, everyone would be extremely afraid and didn't know who would be the next.
Another strange thing was that in the peach forest by the river bank, there was a peach tree. Every year, the peaches would not be edible. It was blood-red in color and had a fishy smell.
After liberation, the feudal superstition was broken. A village letter led people to demolish the temple and cut down the fruit trees, but the rules of the village remained the same. Although there were no longer blood peaches in the peach tree forest, it was said that when walking along the river bank at night, women's wails could be heard.
As Captain Yu drank his coffee, he slowly told Yao Xiaoyan what the hell he was doing.
"One year I went to my grandma's house, about seven or eight years old. I'm a glutton, and in the evening I ran to the peach trees on the river bank secretly despite my grandma's warnings. I was about to steal a few peaches to eat when I suddenly heard a woman's crying."
As Captain Yu said this, his expression became tense. He couldn't help but clench his fists, as if those were memories that he was extremely unwilling to recall.
"I was too scared to care about peaches. I wanted to run home, but who knew that the moment I turned around, my face would crash into a pair of pink embroidered shoes …"
Captain Yu's eyes widened, his face turning pale. Just as he was about to continue speaking, he suddenly stretched out a hand from behind him. In that hand was a pair of pink embroidered shoes, and he sinisterly asked, "Is it a pair of embroidered shoes like this?"
Ah!" Captain Yu was so frightened that his body rolled under the sofa. Behind him, Huzi laughed complacently. "Look, this is a souvenir I bought from abroad. When I heard you were talking about embroidered shoes, I brought it out for you to see.
Captain Yu looked at Yao Xiaoyan. Perhaps he felt embarrassed in front of her, he stood up angrily and was about to argue with Hu Zi when Dugu Ling walked over with a frown on his face.
The male deity's face was transparent like water, cool like ice, and contained a beauty that captivated the soul with a few traces of alienation that no one dared to get close to.
Captain Yu's words were stuck in his throat, a mysterious pressure making him unable to protest.
"Hu Zi, stop messing around." Dugu Ling said indifferently. His pair of deep green eyes contained an indescribable pressure.
Yao Xiaoyan stood up. She didn't know if she should greet Dugu Ling, or if he didn't even remember who she was.
Dugu Ling's gaze lingered on Yao Xiaoyan's face for three seconds. When he finally decided to greet him, he suddenly turned around and coldly said, "I'm tired. I'm going up to rest."
Hu Zi hurriedly responded and said to Yao Xiaoyan, "Miss Yao, we'll be going up first."
Yao Xiaoyan quickly responded and watched Dugu Ling and Hu Zi get on the elevator.
"That person is the Shadow Emperor Dugu Ling?" Captain Yu asked softly, as if he hadn't recovered from his shock.
"Don't mind it. Hu Zi is still just a kid and likes to play some pranks. Captain Yu, are you alright?" Yao Xiaoyan hurriedly turned around and asked, afraid that Captain Yu would be scared out of his wits.
Now it seemed like Captain Yu wasn't one of her fellow Daoists. It was just because he was young then and his eyes were pure that she could see those things. Since she was young, she had always been able to see them.
Thinking of this, Yao Xiaoyan raised her head and wanted to ask the half-faced man who caused his death, but after going around in a circle, she could not find any trace of the half-faced man.
"What are you looking for?" Captain Yu asked as he looked at Yao Xiaoyan.
"Lin Nian, he was standing here a moment ago. Is he gone?" Yao Xiaoyan blurted out.
Captain Yu's face turned pale, "You really can see ghosts!"
Actually, Captain Yu was just guessing. When his guesses were verified, he thought of that female ghost in pink embroidered shoes that he saw when he was a child in Taoyuan. He calmed down for a long time before asking, "Did Lin Xin tell you how he died?" "Who was the murderer?"
She felt that Captain Yu was using her lonely heart to harass her. Being haunted by ghosts since she was young, how she wished to meet someone like her so that she could tell him what she saw and thought.
There are too many secrets in a person. Sometimes, they are very lonely.
But Captain Yu wasn't that person!
"Sorry, I have nothing else to say. I need to rest. I still need to film tomorrow." Yao Xiao Yan stood up and said coldly.
Captain Yu was stunned. He quickly stepped forward and said, "This is a big case. You should know about the Lin Family Enterprise too. The higher-ups were in a hurry. That's why I came to find you." "Miss Yao, I can tell from Tor's story that you're a warm-hearted girl. You won't let Lin Xin die in vain, right?"
Yao Xiaoyan didn't want to continue listening to what Captain Yu had to say. Since the ghost that Lin Xin was reading had already disappeared, she couldn't be bothered.
Yao Xiaoxiao put on the elevator sunglasses and walked into the corridor. Suddenly, she felt that something was wrong. She took off her glasses and looked around. The ghosts had all disappeared.
"What is going on?" Yao Xiaoyan quietly muttered to herself.
