Chapter 54: Ghost Transaction

  Knowing she was talking about Shu An, I replied with a skeptical tone: "He can make your soul fly away, of course it's very dangerous! The light you see on me, does he have it too?"

  I guess that light is the spiritual energy brought by Bundan, but ordinary people can't see it with their naked eyes, and only a spirit like her can see it.

  "I didn't mean it that way, the light on you is special, he doesn't have such light."

  "He doesn't? How is that possible?" I was stunned, if the spiritual energy on me was passed down by Shu An, then why was his different from mine?

  "I've heard some old centenarians mention a legend that might be related to the light on your body. If you want to know, promise me you'll help with something and I'll tell you!"

  This female ghost is actually making a deal with me!

  Everyone has become a ghost, shouldn't they be deceiving people? I'm very uncertain in my heart, but I especially want to know about the light on me.

  "Help you with something? You're not asking me to avenge your death, are you? Sister, you've been dead for half a year now. Where am I supposed to find evidence to prove your innocence?"

  The last time I went to the mall, I asked this and that, and the salesgirl at the counter was already very impatient with me. Now if I go again, she will definitely ignore me.

  However, the female ghost had other plans. She said: "I know that the perfume was put in my bag by Wang Li, it was the day you bought perfume to entertain that person, if you can find her and let her tell the truth, I can clear my name!"

  "No way, no way!" I hastily shook my head. "She's been hiding it for half a year, will she tell me the truth if I ask her? Besides, I'm not familiar with her, and I'm just an individual, what can I do to her? You're a ghost, you've been floating around that mall for half a year, why don't you just possess her body and have her speak the truth herself?"

  "You think I'm too scary!" she said sadly. "A small ghost like me, even if I linger in the mortal world due to resentment, can only find people with weak yin energy and eight characters. But Wang Lijiang was born with yang fire, and I don't dare get close to her at all. An old ghost once told me that as long as I haunt my place of death for a few more years, my abilities will grow stronger with more resentment. But now, I'm afraid I won't make it until then... That man hurt my spirit... So please help me! As long as Wang Lijiang tells the truth, even if my soul disappears, I'll be at peace!"

  In the past, I only knew that when listening to others talk about their miserable experiences, sympathy would overflow. I didn't think that listening to a ghost would also bring out this kind of emotion.

  I stood there, particularly entangled in a particular contradiction. After thinking about it repeatedly many times, I surprisingly agreed to this deal!

  Back home, Zhang Yi had already fallen asleep, leaving only my dad sitting on the sofa waiting for me. Seeing me enter, he extinguished the cigarette in his hand and said: "Xiao Xian, what did you do today when you came back this afternoon?"

  "When are you coming back?" I saw his heavy expression, and I was confused. Didn't they just have a fight with Zhang Cui Lan? Why is it so serious?

  "What did you say before going home? What were you doing in the neighborhood?" My dad seemed to know my confusion and re-explained his question.

  I scratched my head and thought for a moment. "Nothing special happened!"

  At that time I came back from the mall and didn't even eat dinner, went home directly. My dad asked what's this for?

  "Think it over carefully again!" My dad said very seriously.

  I happened to remember a small thing, changed into slippers, walked in while saying: "I entered the neighborhood, saw Aunt Zhang from next door moving things downstairs, so I helped her carry them up!"

  As soon as I said that, my dad's face fell and I knew something was up. I walked over to him and asked tentatively, "What's wrong?"

  He lit another cigarette and said: "You don't know, Zhang's wife died a month ago! At that time you were in Baishan Town, I didn't tell you!"
