A Guest In A Ghost House

I listened to Lulu"s ghost story with rapt attention.

When Xiaoru and I entered the hall to burn paper money that night, Chen Kai and his friends were going to the second floor.

Chen Kai walked in front, knocking on the guard rail of the second floor with a stick and laughing at Xiaoru"s and my cowardice.

Wu Di hugged Kitty, who didn"t dare look up, and joked with Chen Kai.

Chen Kai entered a random room and put the stick on a desk. "Think we"ll get lucky?" he said to Wu Di.

Wu Di glanced at Chen Kai disdainfully, "We might not get lucky, but we"ll definitely get a bunch of ghosts."

Chen Kai kicked a swaying chair out of the way, "I have never had s.e.x with a female ghost. I bet it feels great."

Wu Di didn"t respond. He s.h.i.+ned his torchlight at Chen Kai with a lewd face. Chen Kai understood and left the room with a secretive smile.

Wu Di dragged Kitty in his arms, saying "Kitty, can we try here?"

Kitty was shocked and shook her head, but Wu Di insisted, "Kitty, it"s comfortable here."

However, Kitty still refused, shaking her head and hugging Wu Di"s arm tightly. Wu Di became angry, "What do you mean? If you don"t like me, just tell me and I will leave you alone."

Wu Di turned to the door, but Kitty was too frightened to let him go. She hugged Wu Di closely, and finally agreed.

So, Wu Di and Kitty had s.e.x on the old bed in the room. When they were about to climax, Wu Di"s hand unknowingly grasped something and he threw a wooden tablet to the floor.

Wu Di and Kitty stood up from the bed, calling Chen Kai over. Chen Kai had been waiting for a while and had gotten quite upset. Heading toward the sound of Wu Di"s voice, Chen Kai crushed the wooden tablet under his foot as he entered the room. The ghost house was ancient, so he did not really care about it.

The exploration of the ghost house was over. Wu Di had also had his fill of "adventure". They were ready to leave, but Chen Kai and Wu Di suddenly felt very hungry. In the next room over, they found a sumptuous feast laid out on the table. They didn"t know where all this food came from, but their hunger got the better of them.

Kitty walked out into the hall after straightening her clothes, only to see the two boys running into another room. She looked in through the door apprehensively. The ruined house became illuminated with bright rays of light, and all manner of food was laid out on the round table. A long-haired girl in cheongsam was sitting at the table. She seemed to notice Kitty, and slowly turned towards her. Her black and oiled hair covered her whole face.

But it wasn"t her face... It was the back of her head.

Kitty screamed in horror and ran.

Chen Kai and Wu Di were already sitting beside the faceless ghost, silently picking up food with the chopsticks laid out for them. In their eyes, they were eating meat and green vegetables.

That was when Xiaoru and I rushed into the room. I pulled at Chen Kai"s arm, but was frightened by his horrible gaze. Chen Kai just turned back, smiling at the female ghost who had no face. He continued to eat until he died.

That wooden memorial tablet belonged to Jiajia. Lulu spoke vaguely, not willing to give me too many details. Naturally, it was not appropriate for me to ask her. Therefore, I simply made a mental note that I should never anger the ghost they called Jiajia.

Lulu kept Jiajia"s story short and concise. Thinking of Chen Kai and Wu Di, I remembered a saying I once heard, "Never go looking for trouble until trouble comes looking for you."

Suddenly, I found a gap in Lulu"s story. "What about the girl?" I had a picture of Kitty riddled with b.l.o.o.d.y holes. She hadn"t even closed her eyes in death. She just disappeared from Lulu"s story.

Lulu"s eyes became complicated. After a long time, she said sadly, "I wouldn"t harm a girl. She ended up going to the back yard."

I knew the ghost house had a backyard, but I had never been there. After Kitty ran to the back yard, what did she do there? If Lulu would never harm a girl, what happened to her?

Lulu shook her head, "She was not killed by us."

"Oh..." I was shocked. Were there many ferocious ghosts who never belonged to the ghost house?

Lulu didn"t see my surprised look, turning around and looking in the direction of the back yard. Her hair fluttered, revealing black livor mortis on her neck.

I s.h.i.+vered; Lulu"s reaction attracted the attention of the patrons. Sister Hua cleared her throat loudly in the distance.

Lulu quickly turned back to me. It seemed almost as if what just happened was only my imagination. I swallowed my saliva, planning to get back to work.

Then, Lulu said, "That girl was killed by him."

I glanced at Lulu apprehensively. Although the cold air around her had not disappeared, her expression was becoming slightly softer.

Lulu"s eyes showed her hate, "He is the enemy of the Fan house. We want to drink his blood."

Although I was not a gossiper, I became very interested in Lulu"s words. Before I knew it, I asked, "Who is he?"

"He is j.a.panese."

What? j.a.panese! I couldn"t believe it. There were j.a.panese in the Fan house! Oh, then I realized, it was probably a j.a.panese ghost.

I was stunned for a moment, "Lulu, you mean there is a j.a.panese ghost in the back yard?"

Lulu nodded and said, "Yes."
