Chapter 13
The baby ghost evidently froze for an instant, but soon after just like being annoyed turned his head wanting to bite Gu Wu Ji.
Gu Wu Ji"s previous experiences of ghost encounters that people couldn"t even imagine were abundant and long, he even had a skillful way of dealing with this kind of baby ghost, holding the other firmly, under his astounding strength, the baby ghost unexpectedly couldn"t find any way to bite this person.
“Even if you are still a baby, and may not understand, but biting people like this is wrong, it"s a very bad quality and behaviour.”
Gu Wu Ji was br.i.m.m.i.n.g with patience while educating.
“Look at your parents, they are working this hard for you, but nevertheless you randomly bite the guests, if some issue or problem arises from this bite, that can destroy the hotel"s reputation, are you not wasting their efforts?”
With Gu Wu Ji"s tender voice, the baby ghost unexpectedly also stopped struggling, just like being compelled by his words, the mouth that was originally trying to constantly bite anywhere closed.
“Isn"t this very good? This is such a good child.” Gu Wu Ji immediately used an encouraging look to look over, while also reaching out to stroke the top of the other"s head, “Your parents will certainly be very proud of you.”
The baby ghost originally didn"t know anything very much, but being stroked by Gu Wu Ji on the head now, a type of pride suddenly and involuntarily spring forth, so obediently and honestly drew in Gu Wu Ji"s embrace.
The entire picture from just a moment"s strange horror scene, turned into a some sort of educational film.
Gu Wu Ji while holding it opened the door of a room which had a personnel"s lounge written in front.
The scene that the eye perceived had no whatsoever connection with a personnel"s lounge area, this room was already very dilapidated, spiderwebs suspended on the wall, thick dust scattered when the door was opened, just like no one had ever occupied the place.
“What"s this all about? Could this hotel"s employee benefits be this poor?”
Upon hearing Gu Wu Ji"s words, the baby ghost became somewhat displeased struggling a bit.
“Alright, alright, I know your hotel will certainly not treat the employees unfairly like this, there must still be other reasons for this.” Gu Wu Ji immediately opened, the baby ghost who was satisfied by this calmed down.
Gu Wu Ji entered in just a few steps, using his hand wiped the dust on the side of the wall, underneath it were dried up blood, the color was still very bright just like it had just been recently splattered.
He then pondered a bit, looking all over the place again, and discovered that the windows had already been sealed shut by wooden boards, only allowing some rays of light to pa.s.s through.
“It seems that there is nothing here.” Gu Wu Ji turned around preparing to leave, but the door suddenly slammed close with a bang.
Gu Wu Ji: “……”
He reached out pushing the door"s handle, just as expected the door was already firmly locked.
A sound of droplets falling on the ground could be heard from behind him. The baby ghost being held by Gu Wu Ji opened his mouth and constantly emitted fleeting sounds, just like making some sort of warning.
Gu Wu Ji turned his head, the room that was originally filled with dust, became clean and spotless at this time, which also made it possible for people to clearly see, the blood splatters all over the place.
Like a person has just recently been killed in this murder scene, only the body did not exist.
No.
Gu Wu Ji also heard the dripping sounds, raised his head, and saw a woman"s body stuck on the ceiling, her body which was completely broken and in disorder were very crudely sewn together, but the blood still continually flowed out from within, falling to the ground.
That woman"s pair of bloodshot eyes were tenaciously staring at Gu Wu Ji, filled with deep resentment.
But she had a bit of apprehensive look towards the baby ghost that was being held by Gu Wu Ji, so did not approach without careful consideration.
Gu Wu Ji exerted a lot of attention to this scene, the heart became a bit surprised, not expecting that this baby ghost would have such an aspect, could it mean that it had a deeper resentment compared to the dead body of the personnel that was killed?
This female ghost actually looked very familiar to Gu Wu Ji, she was precisely the personnel that answered some of his questions on the day he arrived.
“Long time no see.” Gu Wu Ji looked towards the other, with a friendly tone said: “I"m very sorry about what had happened to your body, my purpose for coming here now is to find out who in the end actually killed you, if possible, can you provide me with some a.s.sistance?”
The female ghost seemed to be finally stimulated, in spite of the baby ghost actually moved a bit closer, the whole person was affixed to the ceiling not far from Gu Wu Ji, the pair of eyes that gazed at Gu Wu Ji, was almost practically falling out the eyes sockets.
In the face of this very terrifying sight, Gu Wu Ji"s expression didn"t have even the slightest change, and was still sincerely looking at the female ghost.
After all, he didn"t perceive too much killing intent from the female ghost"s body in front of him, there were only some instinctual grievances.
The female ghost"s body paused, then finally the eyes once again looked at the baby ghost in his embrace, the body suddenly became translucent, then abruptly rushed towards Gu Wu Ji"s direction.
The baby ghost strongly struggled, making that female ghost"s body uncontrollably tremble, the body that was originally already very translucent became much more hazy.
Gu Wu Ji remembering the incident in the first copy, extended his hand at once, directly touching the female ghost"s body.
In an instant, a piece of scene emerged in the midst of his mind.
The surrounding hallway was pitch-black, rushing footsteps sounds could be heard at the back, yet the person involved seemed to be extremely frightened, the body constantly shivered, however no call of help came from the mouth, but the head will occasionally turn to look at the back, a hand"s figure holding a sharp weapon could be seen at the distinct shadow.
She finally pa.s.sed through a corner reaching the flight of staircase, even Gu Wu Ji could experience her heart"s happiness.
This was obviously very unreasonable, reaching this place will also not get rid of the person at the back, for what reason is she so excited about?
But soon after, that figure had actually followed her arriving at the staircase, the heart of the person involved was in a state of shock and fright that had almost reached the extremes, but everything was already too late, as that sharp weapon has already and suddenly fallen at the back of her body.
It originally shouldn"t be like this……
……
When Gu Wu Ji had woken up, he found himself lying on the dust filled floor of the personnel"s lounge, the blood on the surroundings and the female ghost had already disappeared, only the baby ghost was still lying on top his body, having a sleepy expression.
“This little fellow is actually quite lovable.” Gu Wu Ji lifted the other up, the mind seemed to still have a faint headache, but he he was very clear, the scene that he had just recently seen must be the female ghost that really wanted to convey something to him.
“Come to think of it, could there still be one more ghost in this hotel? That could also bring harm to the other ghosts……” Gu Wu Ji reflected on it while pushing the door open, “Obviously that female personnel thought that she could be saved when she ran to the staircase, could that ghost originally have been restricted by the hallway? But because of some other reasons, it was able to leave……”
While thinking about this, Gu Wu Ji has already arrived at front of another room"s door.
Most of the rooms in the third floor had already been entered, reaching the dwelling place of the family of the hotel owner.
Gu Wu Ji discovered that the door of this room was firmly locked, he tried using his extraordinary strength, but the door did not even budge a bit.
“It seems that the door of this room cannot be opened by force, a key must be required for this.” Gu Wu Ji also looked at the baby ghost still sleeping in his arm, the heart always felt that, forcefully breaking open the door of other people"s family in the presence of others, the image seemed to be a bit rude.
In short, this cannot be continued today, while thinking about this Gu Wu Ji then proceeded to head downstairs.
A few people were still distracting the personnel on the first floor, their heads were already filled with cold sweats, after all who knew if what they were stalling were people or ghosts.
When Gu Wu Ji"s footsteps had sounded, they let out a sigh of relief, turning to see Gu Wu Ji carrying a baby in his embrace.
Everyone: “???”
What had happened? When you went out for a while how did you end up picking someone else"s baby? Moreover is this baby really not a problem!
Originally knowing about some of the incidents Peng Hao Cang couldn"t help but be greatly shocked, looking at Gu Wu Ji like seeing some kind of demon.
At the end, how could this guy just nonchalantly hold this great killing instrument in his embrace ah!
However, everyone because of shock didn"t notice that, the old woman at the counter took a glimpse at their side.
Gu Wu Ji motioned to the other people using his eyes, then knocked on the kitchen"s door before pushing it open, the two people inside still maintained their previous appearances, the atmosphere maintained its chilliness and dreadfulness, only the woman this time didn"t have a baby in her arms.
Seeing Gu Wu Ji coming in, the woman was originally still looking over with an implicit gloominess, but soon became startled when the line of sight fell to Gu Wu Ji"s arms.
“Big sister, you need to watch over this baby well, what would have happened if he ran around and met a bad person? Fortunately he met me, otherwise who knows what could have happened.” Gu Wu Ji"s tone had a bit of condemnation towards the parents who were not very responsible.
The woman hearing this froze, and finally took the baby that had been handed over without any reaction.
What"s going on? Why was there a sudden sense of guilt about being a very irresponsible parent?
