"Brother, you can't park here. Get off quickly." The taxi driver was already urging me.
"I still want to go." I replied solemnly.
Soon, Zhao Chen arrived in front of the car. I quickly took a seat inside, and Zhao Chen got into the car and slammed the door.
"Let's go!" Zhao Chen's tone was extremely panicked.
The taxi driver stepped on the accelerator and the car drove away from the youth community.
"Where to go?" He asked again for the address.
Zhao Chen didn't say anything, his face was extremely pale, as if he had encountered some great fear, and his spirit had reached the critical point.
For a moment, I didn’t see the situation, so I could only casually tell the driver the address. It was the street I remembered from before.
After about twenty minutes, the car stopped on the side of the road.
Zhao Chen mechanically pushed the door open and got out of the car.
After I got out of the car, she still squatted down tremblingly, hugged her knees, and sat on the roadside.
The sun shines on Zhao Ping's face. Although she is in her thirties, she is not old. Her skin has slight traces of time, mixed with fear and morbidity, and has another kind of beauty.
Standing next to her, I still didn't speak.
Zhao Chen's reaction was that she was really frightened. If I spoke rashly, she might get stressed out and she would have to recover on her own.
After a few more minutes, Zhao Ping finally had some color on his face.
She then raised her head and said in a trembling voice, "I'm sorry, Brother Tang, I lied to you... I didn't find the money."
My heart sank.
Then Zhao Chen’s words made my expression change suddenly!
"My brother...is back..."
It turns out that Zhao Ping saw the news a few days ago that the unfinished building exploded. She understood that his brother's matter should be resolved.
When she was about to contact me, she suddenly heard someone knocking on the door.
From the peephole, she saw that it was a courier holding a box for her to sign for.
But when she opened the door, it was her brother Zhao Kangchu who was outside!
She was so frightened that she closed the door immediately.
As soon as she turned around, Zhao Kang stood behind her and told her with a smile that he would protect her well in the future and fulfill his responsibility as a brother.
She was immediately frightened and fainted.
When she woke up, she was lying on the bed in her room.
She thought that maybe Zhao Kang's return was a nightmare. In fact, she had been sleeping and only opened her eyes now.
After leaving the living room, I heard sounds from the kitchen, and there were several dishes placed on the table.
She knew it was not a dream, and she quickly wanted to run away from home to find me.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she opened the living room door, Zhao Kang stood at the door with a smile and asked her what she was doing. She was frightened and fainted again.
For several days, she was forced to live under the same roof as Zhao Kang.
Although she was very reluctant to let go of her brother, people were humans and ghosts were ghosts. It was too scary for humans and ghosts to deal with each other like this.
But she has been unable to escape.
Until last night, Zhao Kang suddenly mentioned me and asked if she was looking for someone to find him.
She immediately understood that Zhao Kang might have something up his sleeve, and the Zhao Kang now was completely different from the one he was alive.
She didn't want to implicate me, so she kept silent. As a result, she fainted again for no apparent reason.
When she woke up, Zhao Kang told her something, asking her to lie and say she picked up the money, and then someone knocked on the door and tricked her into coming here...
Because of this, she had the opportunity to wait for me at the gate of the community!
She thought that Zhao Kang might want to harm me, so when she saw me, she quickly got into my car and left with me.
At this point, Zhao Ping's tears kept falling.
She choked and said, "What evil has my brother done? How could he become such a vicious ghost? Can't he just go and be reincarnated?"
I'm covered in white hair and sweat. Did Chu Ying really guess this correctly?
Although the jade piece is considered a means, I still feel a bit frightened when I have to face the skinless ghost who may have become a plague ghost.
Due to an unexpected combination of circumstances, Zhao Ping's reaction was very quick!
"Brother Tang...what do you think we should do? How can we send my brother away?" Zhao Ping's eyes were full of uneasiness.
I looked thoughtful and didn't speak immediately.
I can go back to find "Zhao Kang" now, but there is no need to take that risk!
Borrowing the City God's Temple is the best way.
In this way, the jade piece was kept, and the favor was also given to the Chenghuang Temple!
He immediately took out his cell phone and called Chuying.
The call came almost instantly, and Tsubaki asked me how I was doing. She was preparing to meet the leader and Manager Yang.
Then I heard a ding, the elevator had arrived.
Briefly and to the point, I told Chu Ying about the situation at Zhao Ping's side.
Chuying was obviously shocked, she said: "I will contact Uncle Huang immediately, please don't go there..."
The voice was quiet for two seconds, and then he said: "I'll give you the password lock. Why don't you go back to my house first? If Zhao Ping... well, you can also bring it back first to ensure safety."
The call was immediately hung up, and I received another text message from Chaoying.
I breathed a sigh of relief. Tsubaki's idea was exactly the same as mine, and I didn't need to take the initiative.
Looking at Zhao Chen again, I nodded and said, "I will arrange for someone to solve your brother's matter. You can come with me first and find a safe place to rest."
If Zhao Kang had not been "eaten", Zhao Chen would not have faced this unreasonable disaster.
For me, what prompted me to do this was apology.
And Tsubaki Ying's behavior was completely kind.
I took another taxi and headed to the high-rise community where Tsubaki Ying's home was located.
During the journey, Zhao Ping's demeanor relaxed a lot. She looked at me from time to time, with gratitude in her eyes.
I can't put my finger on it, but I always think that Zhao Chen looks familiar, as if he looks similar to someone else I know.
Just looking carefully, I can't see anything familiar.
Zhao Chen's face turned red and he lowered his head slightly.
I stopped looking at her to avoid misunderstanding.
When I arrived at Tsubaki's community, I didn't go to the underground garage. I checked in from the front and entered the community. When I got to the unit building, I went straight to the 33rd floor.
With a ding, the elevator door opened.
Under the fingerprint lock, there is a password key. I enter the password to open the door.
However, I felt something was not quite right.
There is just a faint coolness lingering around me.
There is plenty of light in the corridor itself, so a shoe cabinet was built here and incandescent lamps with sufficient brightness were installed.
But the light was inexplicably dim, especially because it was so cold behind me.
I didn't finish typing in the password, and my fingers became slightly stiff.
The bright password keys are like mirrors at the edges, reflecting the silhouette of people.
My shadow is in the edge mirror.
That's what's weird...
There is obviously Zhao Chen next to me, but why doesn't her shadow shine in?
"Brother Tang? Why don't you open the door?" Zhao Ping's voice suddenly reached his ears.
From the corner of my eye, I could see Zhao Chen still standing beside me.
My main sight is still on the mirror.
A weird scene happened...
There is a shadow next to me again.
It's just that the figure is distorted. It looks like Zhao Wei, but it looks like another person...
I don't know that person.
Then, another sense of distortion came, and the blurry image of the other person instantly became Zhao Kang's.
Zhao Kang just disappeared in a flash, and then became Zhao Pin again!
Goosebumps covered my whole body!
My heart felt like it fell into an ice cellar for a moment.
She turned around sharply and looked at Zhao Ping. She still looked the same, without any change.
"Brother Tang, what's wrong with you?" Zhao Ping looked confused.
