Chapter 73: Strange

“Oh, right.” Feng Lan’s heart pounded rapidly, and her cheeks flushed. Her fingers twined together, and she tried to say calmly, “Thank you, Miss Xu.”

Zhou Taifu looked at Feng Lan who had forgotten he was there and was speechless. Xu Wen didn’t like this situation. Therefore, she changed the topic. She turned and urged, “Let’s go, Miss Feng.”

As Feng Lan walked past him, Xu Wen took a step forward to look into the cubicle Feng Lan just vacated. The door was open so she could look into it clearly. A few seconds later, her tense face relaxed. She finally understood everything. There were two footprints on the rim of the white toilet bowl. Feng Lan should be squatting on the toilet bowl. That was why Xu Wen didn’t see her legs through the gap in the door.

“Miss Xu?” Feng Lan was almost out of the toilet when she realised Xu Wen was not with her. She turned around and saw Xu Wen standing before the cubicle.

“Coming.” Xu Wen reacted and walked away.

“What were you looking at?”

“I think I saw a rat.” Xu Wen lied with ease. She acted frightened as she patted her chest, “I am so scared of those things. I was dazed by it.” Perhaps because she was an NPC or because she was blinded by affection, Feng Lan accepted this excuse. Zhou Taifu sighed. If only all the NPC in the missions were so easily-fooled.

As they were about to leave, Feng Lan suddenly ran to the sink, switched on the faucet, dampened her hands and squeezed the sanitiser. Zhou Taifu and Xu Wen watched her. They were glad that they found Feng Lan to be their guide. At least, in this matter, they were better than the groups from 404 and 405.

Speaking of...

Xu Wen and Zhou Taifu thought of Jiang Cheng and the words he said. Things like the ghost’s hand was twice his size, he was in his puberty and so on.

Another giant slap landed on Zhou Taifu’s face. He had just come to. His legs wobbled, and he almost fell over. Xu Wen, who stood to his side, rolled up her sleeves. Sweat poured out of her forehead.

“Mr. Zhou is awake!”

Feng Lan’s voice shouted. There was a hint of confusion mixed in the joy. Earlier, when they were about to leave the toilet, Zhou Taifu suddenly paused before the mirror like he was possessed. No matter how they called or shook him, he didn’t move. His eyes were dead as he stared at his reflection. It was very weird.

Xu Wen reacted quickly. When she realised normal methods couldn’t wake up Zhou Taifu, she instantly gave him two big slaps. It was not until blood oozed out of his lips that Zhou Taifu finally woke up.

Xu Wen finally relaxed. Her concern for Zhou Taifu was real. If this happened to someone else, she would have left already. However, she kept her relief in her heart. She didn’t show anything on her face.

“I...” Slowly, Zhou Taifu’s soul returned to his body. He moved his neck left and right. He realised his body was rather stiff. He looked at Xu Wen with befuddlement. “What happened to me?”

Xu Wen glanced at the mirror before quickly turning away. “This place is strange. We should leave.”

Xu Wen grabbed his arm and pulled him away. His limbs were still numb, so his movement was inordinate. When Xu Wen leaned into Zhou Taifu, she whispered everything to him.

When Zhou Taifu heard what happened to him, he felt a chill run up his spine.

Had he... been targeted by the ghost?
