A Guest In A Ghost House

The ghost did not hesitate and asked a question.

"Besides Xiao Lingdang, who else is your family?"

I changed my tone to one of a father humoring his child, "Well, who"s your favorite, is it your father or your mother?" I was certain the answer would be mother.

I worried my question would anger the fake Xiao Lingdang. Fortunately, she seemed to have crashed like a computer and her strange smile had disappeared.

I could only hear her murmuring, "Dad, grandma, mom, or grandpa?" She spoke out in an interrogative tone, as if she wasn"t sure.

I stopped trying to stimulate her any more. I acted just like her, waiting quietly. But my hand never stopped touching my blood red bracelet. My bracelet became a little hot because of the friction. But it did not go through any change. I must think it is normal if I never see Xiao Lingdang and Lulu entering the bracelet.]

I didn"t know how long I had stayed here. There was a silvery sound in the empty and quiet room suddenly. At the same time, my hand cannot feel the weight. When I looked down, I didn"t know when the bracelet had broken down into two pieces. And the silvery sound came from the bracelet which fell on the floor.

I worry that the sound will woke up Xiao Lingdang who was murmuring. I looked up with fear slowly, seeing her strange eyes.

My heart quivers suddenly, seeing her smile. However, her smile was so strange. It seemed that someone pulled her face.

"Uncle, can I ask you a question?"

I nodded vigorously. I would not give up if I had any choice.

"Uncle, Should I call my father grandpa or call my grandpa father?"

I was stunned although I was in this horrible air. This question made me silent.

Xiao Lingdang waited for a moment. She asked another question when she noticed I kept silent.

"Uncle, should I call my mother grandma or call my grandma mother?"

I was still stunned. Although I knew the two questions was key, I could not answer anyone.

Xiao Lingdang waited for a moment again. The forced smile was still in her face. But her eyes became cold. I knew she would beat me if I didn"t answer. So I chose to answer one casually.

"You can call your dad mom, call your grandpa grandma, call your grandma grandpa, or call your mom grandpa."

I answered her quickly. But my answer made Xiao Lingdang murmur again.

"Dad is mom, and grandpa is grandpa. Oh no! Grandpa is grandma."

I had already made sure that the IQ of Xiao Lingdang was problematic. If I could cheat her, I might waste time until the daytime.

When I was proud of my IQ, Xiao Lingdang looked up suddenly. She spoke to me in an unprecedented tone, "Dad is not dad. Grandpa was not grandpa. Grandma was not grandma. Mother was not my mother."

I forced a smile, trying to thaw the atmosphere, "Exactly, that"s what I mean."

Xiao Lingdang didn"t think about it, and she just continued to repeat this sentence. And then she became mad and shouted. I seemed to hear many voices among the shouted of Xiao Lingdang.

"Mother is grandma."

"Dad is grandpa."

...

Many voices were small, yet my head almost explode. The flashlight fell down the floor with a loud sound. I covered my head painfully with my two hands, kneeling on the floor. But those voices were in my mind which I could not get rid of them.

"What are you doing here?" I shouted loudly. And then bright light s.h.i.+ned my body. But my pain didn"t disappear so that I could not respond it.

My body was raised by others unconsciously. When I felt I would die, I was raised by several police to the street. The light on the street had been closed. While there were several police cars who supply the brightness by the automotive lighting.

I looked up feebly, only seeing the police at present. There was an acquaintance. He was madman Zang who was standing in front of sacrificial altar, nodding at me with a smile.

I stood up with the help of the police. madman Zang pay no attention to me, holding a pen filled with red liquid. He wrote in a rune paper quickly.

The police came to ask me. I never tell the truth, just saying I worried my friends. Therefore, I come to here to find Wu Jian. The police kept polite to me.

After I asked them, I knew the police accompany madman Zang to perform religious rites. But this kind event could not let others know. Therefore, I chose to perform in evening. In fact, madman Zang chose the evening. However, I couldn"t believe he had got power to let the police to work for him.

But it was normal. madman Zang had got real ability. He was not like the fake Taoist who went to the ghost house.

Madman Zang finishes his religious rites quickly, putting the half-ruined tune in the door. And then he talks a leader for a moment, and then he walked to me.

He dragged me to avoid the police. It seemed that the police know madman Zang. Or they received the order so that they never stop us.

Madman Zang drags me to the other side. Naturally, he asked what happened inside. For him, I never covered the truth. I told him everything, including the background of Xiao Lingdang.

After all I knew the background from witch Yan. Those masters should know the ghost house. Absolutely, madman Zang was not surprised with the existence of the ghost house. And he praises me because of my work in the ghost house.

Frankly speaking, I would kick him if I had recovered no matter how many police there were.

Madman Zang did let me keep away from this room, and he needed to find some books so that he could make sure whether there was similar event as I said or not. In his words, knew yourself as well as the enemy. For me, I was so scared, because I was timid now.

I didn"t know why I never told madman Zang book and mirror deliberately. But madman Zang seemed not to notice me when I held the book in my hand. Even I shook it in front of him deliberately, yet he didn"t make any reflection.

I saw I was in trouble.
