A Guest In A Ghost House

"What are you doing?" The voice repeated the words, seeming to ignore me completely.

I slowly turned around, and my vision was blurry. I could only vaguely see a fuzzy figure in the front. It was not tall, the color of its cloth seemed to be white, and its facial appearance was not clear.

"Who are you?" My voice was dry and trembling, and I felt that my talking was just an illusion, even more, I doubted if I made a voice or not.

"What are you doing?" The voice went on, without any change its tone, and I swallowed my saliva, had no idea about what to say.

"What was I doing? I didn"t do anything, okay? I was just scared, but could I tell you? No way!" I thought.

I was not a good idea to show my fear in front of a ghost. I did not learn this in the ghost house, one of my neighbors told me once I was a child.

But this time, my fear was really obvious, no way to hide it even a little bit.

"What are you doing? The water is good. Would you like it?"

The water? I opened my eyes to look at it, seeing there was one thing pulled out from the back of the ghost. I could not see the thing clearly, so I moved back unconsciously. Along with my retreat, that figure did not do any movement, but fluttering towards my direction with my movement, keeping the same distance between us.

The object that the ghost took slowly approached. I finally saw it. It was a water dispenser. There was a bucket above on it. My heart wobbles and reminded that the hair in the bucket.

Although, I did not see anything in this bucket.

"The water is delicious. Would you like to drink it?"

Listening to this sound, I speeded up to go back, the head also keeping shaking. Regardless of whether this water dispenser was the one in the lifeguard"s office, I did not want to taste the water that a ghost brought. I could not forget the hair in the bucket. Of course, the situation now was much more terrifying than what was happened in the office with lifeguard.

"The water is delicious. Why don"t you drink it?"

"I"m not thirsty." I plucked up the last courage and answered in a twisted tone, but it doesn"t seem to please the figure. The figure came closer to me and went on, "It"s good to drink."

I shook my head hard, and almost to shook it off my body. But that figure pushed the water dispenser to me, no matter how fast I retreated, the figure was getting closer and closer, the water dispenser in my view was becoming clear.

There was no hair in the bucket, it had only half a bucket of water, which was shaking with the push of the figure. All about this bucket looked normal, but I just could not believe it was just a an ordinary one.

Figure got clear as it is getting closer. She was a girl who was about 18 or 19 years old. She was looking very cute with a little baby fat. But her head slightly inclines to one side, looked very odd.

I relaxed a little, plucking up courage to change the subject: "What"s wrong with your head? Did you have a stiff neck?"

"My head is beautiful, right?" The girl was really diverted, but I"d rather not, because now the girl"s hair was floating up and I knew it after a long stay in the ghost building. That meant she was angry.

I nodded hard: "Very beautiful."

"Yes, it must be pretty, or they wouldn"t want to take my head."

d.a.m.n, I was so smart to touch the soft spot.

I did not know how to continue the topic, all for what I could do was to show my silly smile. All in a sudden, I realized that the girl looked familiar. That also reminded me about one thing.

It was a picture of a young girl of about 18 and 19 standing beside flowers. Her right hand showed a gesture of victory and her body tilts to flowers, she had a floral smile on her beautiful face.

It was her! I received pictures about her once. Her name was reported on TV whose name was Chen Luoyan.

Was it the destiny? Why should I receive her pictures and met her here?

Chen Luoyan"s tone was very insipid: "You are so afraid of me! But why aren"t they afraid of me? They"re taking my head."

I didn"t respond. I just pulled my body back, n.o.body knew how much I"d like to run in to the wall.

"Why don"t you help me?" Chen Luoyan continued.

Chen Luoyan" s focused on me all the way she spoke, that was quite frightened. She was floating in the air with her hair waved. I swallowed my saliva and said intermittently, "I, I, can"t help you. What, what do you want me? What do you ask me to help?"

Chen Luoyan perched her head and thought for a moment: "They all sent you my photos. Why don"t you help me?"

Why? I did not even know why they sent me her pictures. And also I did not even know who sent me her pictures.

"Who are they?" I mustered my courage to ask her, this question was too important to me.

"Do you want some water? Is water good to drink?" Chen Luoyan did not answer my question.

"Who are they?" I asked again, my eyes bravely staring at Chen Luoyan. This matter was not only related to me, but also related to my mother and Xue"er.

"They are who are they. Why don"t you help me?"

I was completely speechless, feeling that Chen Luoyan and I were not on the same page. Then I found a new way: "How do you want me to help you?"

I did not know whether it was my hallucination, when I finished this sentence, Chen Luoyan"s eyes light up. It seemed heard what I said and got the information.

It took her a long time to open her mouth slowly: "One day, I took a taxi to my grandmother"s house. On the way, they wanted to bully me, and then they said to take away my head. It was painful that they did not take away my head finally. I saw a bright light after a while, and they ran away and left me there alone. It was so cold."

It"s a matter that she met the bad guys by taking a taxi. The bad guys wanted to do some bad things. I looked at Chen Luoyan"s appearance. Well, she was very innocent. Her appearance was not perfect but at least a middle-to-upper level.

She repeated "they", and that meant they are more than one person. But one thing really confused me that, why they wanted to take away her head? Were they send me the pictures of Chen Luoyan?

"Who are they? How many people are they? Did they send me the photos" I asked.

"They are them. There are three of them. They are not them."

Chen Luoyan"s answer made me stupefied for quite a while and then I cleared up. It should be that Chen Luoyan did not know who hurt her, she only knew they are three people. The word "they were not them" meant that they should not be the people who sent me photos. In fact, I also realized about this. It was impossible such a few people who attempt to bully girls to take photos and sent to me.

"Why did they want to take your head? By the way, the three of them had been in the car all way long?"

Chen Luoyan thought about it for a while and shook her head slowly: "I don"t know. They had been in the car, we shared the car."

I was speechless. Going to my grandmother"s house at night, and sharing a car with a few strangers. It was difficult not to cause problems.

"How did you take the taxi? Is that DiDi? And the driver?" Drivers should have been recorded. If she used Didi App, there must be records, and a taxi should also be found.

Chen Luoyan said: "I do not know. I am waiting for the car, and the car stopped, asking me where to go, and then said it was on the right way, so I got on the car."

I was speechless again, she deserved that.

"Do you know the license plate? What is the car like? What color is it?" Chen Luoyan"s long hair had fallen, and I was gradually no longer afraid of her. The girl was really naive, but I did not mind to help her.

Unfortunately, Chen Luoyan kept on shaking her head, she told me nothing but the color of the car. It was a black one, the most common color.

Seeing that I hadn"t spoken for a long time, Chen Luoyan asked, "Do you want to drink water? Is it nice to drink?"

I could not help asking, "What kind of water is this? Why do you keep asking me to drink?"

Originally, I thought Chen Luoyan would answer it was fresh water, and then saying it"s very good to drink. but I did not expect Chen Luoyan directly said words that nearly scare me to pee out.

"It"s dead body water. It"s clean."

I almost suspected that I had heard it wrong, and asked it again and again to determine the answer. Oh, my G.o.d, dead body water, it was an answer I had never dreamed of.

"Well, uh, where did the water come from? Why should I drink it?"

"It"s for all of us. My sister asked me to give you a drink. If you drink it, you"ll help us."

Everybody? Sister? How came some people had been mentioned again?

"Who is her sister?"

"My sister is my sister."

I thought and said: "Is she the one who has sea water on her body?"

Chen Luoyan nodded, "Since you know my sister, then you are going to drink it."

I shook my head to deal with Chen Luoyan. My heart had already realized that the so-called sister it was Wu Ting. She should have wanted to murder a person with a borrowed knife. But, I looked at Chen Luoyan and my heart thought: She choosed such a stupid cute one. Smart girl.
