Chapter 45: The Ghost Hits the Wall (Part 1)

  Su Yin nodded, and the two continued eating. Tian Haiqing drank a few more cups of wine, scratched his chin, and asked again: "Hey! Su Yin, tell your brother the truth, what do you think of Nie Yuan?" Su Yin's heart skipped a beat, thinking that it had finally come to this. He let out a sigh, looked up seriously, and said: "Nie Yuan is a good person, looks okay, has a sense of justice, is clever, and comes from a good family. But emotions can't be forced, I just can't feel that way about him, I can only treat him as a brother."

  Tian Haiqing helplessly scratched his hair, shook his head from side to side, and then sighed: "Alas! I have nothing more to say! This matter is still going with the flow, when you suddenly think of it, consider him then. Isn't there a saying that emotions can be cultivated? To be honest, Nie Yuan is not bad, most importantly, that kid really likes you." Su Yin smiled and nodded, the topic opened up, and the two had no more worries.

  "Hey! I couldn't tell, your dorm is full of beauties, how are you still the most popular one?! Apparently, it's true that a real person doesn't show off!" Su Yun rolled her eyes, raised her head and proudly said: "You don't understand anything! This is called inner beauty! A gold coin will always shine, it's just that you don't know how to appreciate it!"

  "Ow! Alright, alright! I'm not worthy of appreciation! I don't want to understand either! Look at all these love rivals, I'm not lucky enough to enjoy this!" Su Yin laughed and patted him on the back across the table.

  The two of them were laughing and joking, but they didn't know that the other side had already turned the place upside down! After Su Yin returned from Qi Xiu's house, the next morning, Wu Fang called out to him as he was about to leave, looking at the blue sachet in Wu Fang's hand, his face suddenly turned black, asking where he found it, Wu Fang pointed to the gap between the sofa cushions.

  Qizhao cursed under his breath, snatched the fragrance bag, and slammed the door shut. He rushed out while making a phone call, but no one answered. During early self-study, Qizhao looked around everywhere, but still didn't see Su Yin's figure. After the second class, he still didn't see her, and Wang Ziyu asked unpleasantly: "Where did you hide Su Yin?"

  Qizhao glared at him and said bluntly, "Are you stupid or just pretending to be?" He glanced at the group of people in Su Yin's dormitory and ignored their chatter. With a cold face, he walked up to them and spoke. The one named Huang Xiaoyu stuttered in response, her round eyes wide like a Pug's.

  He coldly asked: "Where did Su Yin go?" Huang Xiao Yu was startled, stuttering: "Su Yin? No, no, don't know, haven't seen her since early morning!"

  A bad premonition surged in Qi Xiu's heart, and he asked, "Then where could she have gone?" Huang Xiaoyu shook her head: "No, she doesn't have any relatives here, nor has she gone to work or anything!" Qi Xiu didn't ask again, turned around and left.

  Wang Zhiyu originally wanted to follow, but Qixiu didn't want more people to know about Su Yin's situation, so he deliberately sent her away. Wang Zhiyu was already not on the same page as him, and seeing that Su Yin was not there, she simply turned around and left without thinking twice. Not expecting anything else. After confirming that Wang Zhiyu had really left, Qixiu began to organize his thoughts, thinking about where Su Yin might have gone, but after searching the entire campus, he still couldn't find her. As night fell, Qixiu's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

  Looking over here, the two of them had eaten and drunk enough, and they were chatting very happily. Suddenly, Tian Haiqing's phone rang, and when he looked at it, it was his girlfriend summoning him urgently. Tian Haiqing then settled the bill first, and told Su Yun to hurry back to her dormitory, and the two of them parted ways. Tian Haiqing's girlfriend had a strong vinegar flavor (was very jealous), and had a big temper, seeing Tian Haiqing as if he couldn't wait to grow a pair of wings and fly over immediately, to be honest, Su Yun was very envious.

  Tian Haiqing is a steady and kind-hearted person, considerate to others, indeed a reliable person. Thinking comfortably in her heart, Su Yun walked slowly. The night breeze was pleasant, it was almost 9 o'clock at night, she had eaten a lot and planned to walk back, just to digest the food. Probably because she was only paying attention to walking with her head down, Su Yun didn't notice that as she walked, there were fewer and fewer people on the road, until after more than half an hour, she hadn't seen anyone at all.

  Finally, Su Yun gradually felt that something was wrong and saw a station sign in front of her with three people standing underneath it. She quickly walked over to them. After arriving, she slowly let out a breath and felt a bit more at ease.

  Turned her head to glance, like a rusty machine, one grid at a time, straightened her head, closed her eyes tightly, clenched her fists, and silently recited "calm down, calm down".

  Actually, there's nothing. The streetlights were dim and yellowish, those people standing under the bus stop sign, with light shining down from above, casting obscure shadows on their faces. Those people looked normal, if you ignored their stiff expressions, rigid bodies, and the fact that they hadn't moved for half a day.

  The sound of the bus stopping and the door opening reached her ears, and she was suddenly bumped. Subconsciously opening her eyes, a girl with a single-shoulder bag and earphones on looked back at her, with an expression as if seeing a mental patient.

  Su Yun was very puzzled, suddenly turned her head to look around, the remaining few people were all normal, playing with their phones, making phone calls, chatting, what stiffness and numbness! Another breath of air came from beside her ear, the car door closed, she turned her head back, and her eyes widened instantly, as if falling into an ice cave!

  The bus slowly drove away, under the blue light, all the passengers had grayish-blue faces, pitch-black eyes without any whites, and icy expressions. What was even more eerie was that those things all turned their heads in unison to stare at her, as the bus moved, over a dozen skulls moved in unison, still staring at her, gradually moving away.

  Su Yun was extremely stimulated, her whole body stiffened and couldn't move. The feeling of being stared at fiercely made her spine chill, cold sweat dripping down. She didn't dare to turn around, her knuckles turned white, her fingertips clenched tightly in her palm.

  Suddenly, the back of her neck felt cool, and Su Yun's whole body shook, closing her eyes with a brush. In her heart, she was silently reciting, calm down, calm down, it's all an illusion, it's all an illusion, but the obvious chill behind her made her hair stand on end, and her cheeks were wet with cold sweat. Just as Su Yun was about to collapse from holding on, a parking sound came from far and near.

  A rough voice shouted at her, "Hey! Miss! What's wrong with you? You don't look well, are you feeling unwell? Come on, get in the car, I'll take you to the hospital."

  Su Yun opened her eyes to find herself in a taxi, the driver was a man in his forties with a honest face and concerned eyes looking at her. Su Yun gritted her teeth and quickly got into the front passenger seat. The driver started the car and sped away.

  Sitting in the seat, Su's tense emotions eased a bit. The driver uncle saw that she was very nervous and kept talking to comfort her. After Su calmed down, she took a deep breath and turned to the driver, saying gratefully: "Uncle, thank you just now. Can you take me to A University? I'm a student there, and I'll pay for the fare upfront."

  The driver glanced at her, continued to drive and said with concern: "Are you sure nothing's wrong? You look pale, it's better to go to the hospital for a check-up. Girls should take good care of themselves, I have a daughter about your age too."

  Su Yun forced a smile, glanced at the direction of the steering wheel, and saw a delicate frame on it. It was a family of three, with a 7 or 8-year-old girl in the middle, who had fair skin and sparkling eyes that curved like crescent moons when she smiled. She looked very cute. Su Yun asked, "Is this your daughter?" The driver was delighted, his eye corners wrinkled into several folds as he nodded, "Yes, isn't she lovely?" Su Yun nodded, "Mmm, indeed very lovely, looks just like her uncle." The driver was overjoyed and started chattering away.

  As the sound faded away, Su Yin's nerves gradually relaxed. But in the moment she lowered her eyelids, a red shadow flashed by the side of the car. Suddenly widening her eyes, Su Yin was like a startled bird. In that fleeting glance, she indeed saw something.

  A woman with very long hair, wearing a bright red cheongsam, stood in the middle of the road, almost sticking to the car body as she passed by. Normally, she would have been injured early on, but how did the driver seem not to notice, still chatting away? In an instant, Su Yun's cold sweat came down.

  The body that had just relaxed tensed up again, staring blankly ahead. In the muddled brain, a mess of thoughts. Suddenly, another figure appeared in the middle of the road ahead, rushing towards the taxi at high speed.

  In an instant, Su Yun's scalp felt numb. The woman was lowering her head, with black hair hanging down, and her expression couldn't be seen clearly, but Su Yun could distinctly feel that the woman was staring at her coldly. Subconsciously glancing in the rearview mirror for a moment, suddenly, Su Yun shrank back, not daring to look again.

  In the rearview mirror, Su Yun saw a smiling face, a little girl sitting in the back seat, her two small legs swinging back and forth. When she looked at her, she giggled, with two missing front teeth, only a black hole left. Next to the little girl, or rather behind her, sat another person, who had shrunk too quickly, Su Yun only saw the lower half of their body, which should be an adult, but probably not human anymore.

  A massive sense of panic, like a tidal wave, instantly engulfed her, fear was like a noose, constricting her throat, making it hard to breathe. Cold sweat gradually seeped out from her forehead, dripping into her eyes, causing a stinging pain, but Su Yun couldn't help but keep staring blankly ahead at the woman who appeared once again.

  The distance was rapidly shrinking, the woman remained motionless, stiffly waiting for her approach. Just as the two were less than ten meters apart, a car suddenly darted out from behind, a black sedan quickly overtook the taxi, then made a 360-degree turn at an extremely strange angle, and finally sped off in the opposite direction of the taxi.
