"Ah!!"Lin Wu was badly frightened and couldn"t help but cry out. He endured the extreme pounding of his heart and turned back. However, there was no one in the back seat at all.
He cast another glance at the rearview mirror, but there was also nothing there.
It was like what he had seen earlier was an illusion.
"What"s wrong?" Li Luyao was also badly frightened by him and almost stepped on the emergency brake.
Lin Wu drew in a deep breath to calm himself. He said, obviously puzzled, "Earlier...I think I saw someone in the backseat. Its eyes were bleeding and it was staring at me, causing me to be badly frightened."
"Ah?"
Li Luyao started. She also involuntarily glanced at the rearview mirror and then turned back to glance at the seat behind her.
"Are you sure?" Li Luyao felt some fear in her heart. "Eyes that were bleeding; it"s most probably a malicious ghost."
"I can"t be sure, but I don"t think that was an illusion."
Lin Wu shook his head slightly. He crossed his arms. "Oh ya, can"t you see ghosts? Could it be you didn"t see the eyes earlier?"
"Who told you I can see ghosts? I don"t have the yin-yang eyes." Li Luyao glanced at him.
"I thought you could see the matchmaker?" Lin Wu was puzzled.
"That"s because her red string has already bound me." Li Luyao sighed. "Usually, normal humans wouldn"t even be able to see ordinary ghosts. Even if it"s a malicious ghost with heavy resentment aura, the person must have a connection with the malicious ghost or have some unique medium before he or she would be able to see the malicious ghost."
"Oh, alright." Lin Wu was enlightened.
No wonder Xiao Qin said that she was the ghost that resembled humans the most in the world. When one looked at her, she was basically like an ordinary human. Even without a special medium or connection to her, she could easily appear before people. It was really incredible.
Speaking of which, he was able to see the ghost reader. It was most probably because his novel was acting as the medium?
"Oh yes."
Lin Wu suddenly asked, "Could it be that this car of yours is unclean?"
"I clean my car every day." Li Luyao shot a glance at him.
"I"m speaking of those unclean things. For example, have you killed someone with this car in an accident before?" Lin Wu questioned.
Li Luyao started slightly, but she sounded uncertain as she spoke, "This car belonged to my cousin in the past. She accidentally damaged my Lexus; hence, she gifted this car to me to replace it."
"Could your cousin have gotten into a car accident and killed someone before?" Lin Wu involuntarily asked.
"She wouldn"t…" Li Luyao hesitated for a while before shaking her head. "She is a very responsible person. If such a major thing happened, it"s impossible for me to not know anything about it."
"That might not be the case, who would spread the news of such incidents if something like that happened?" Lin Wu frowned.
Li Luyao couldn"t help but glare at Lin Wu. "Don"t speak blindly. My relations.h.i.+p with my cousin is very good. If she killed someone accidentally, she would definitely be tormented by her conscience and look for me to console her."
"You should ask your cousin again after you return." Lin Wu shook his head slightly. He then continued, "If it"s possible, it would be for the best to change to another car."
Li Luyao was somewhat unwilling to accept it. "I didn"t see the ghost, but you saw it. Evidently, the ghost has a connection with you. Maybe, it"s one of your wives looking for you?"
"If your cousin knocked someone to death, would you be on the side of the person who died or on the side of your cousin? I"m an outsider, it"s naturally not the same."
He casually continued, "Also, if the ghost is one of my wives, wouldn"t it simply look for me directly? Why must it stay inside your car? Clearly, it has something to do with it."
Li Luyao also had no way to refute his words. She fell silent and involuntarily asked, "Did you really see someone in the back seat looking at you earlier?"
"I"m already so old. The possibility of me having an illusion isn"t too great, right?"
Lin Wu frowned slightly. "Moreover, the child earlier has also said that he saw someone in your car. He might have gone to the toilet for a while, but he didn"t see anyone leaving your car. You"ve also checked, and there are no traces of anyone entering your car. If it wasn"t a ghost, what could it be?"
Li Luyao was s.h.i.+vering despite not being that cold. She involuntarily bit her lips and spoke, "Do you think...that the malicious ghost is still in the car?"
"If it died due to this car, it would naturally reside in it and naturally still be around." Lin Wu nodded lightly.
"...Don"t scare me…" Li Luyao"s complexion turned a little pale. Even her grasp on the steering wheel was no longer right.
"Why should I scare you for nothing? There are ghosts in this world; you should be clearer about this than me." Lin Wu shook his head.
Li Luyao became even more panicked after she heard that. Fragrant sweat appeared on her forehead. "Then, I will stop the car here. Let"s take a cab instead, okay?"
"Don"t worry, I"m here with you. Come, give your hand to me."
He would truly be a b*stard if he didn"t take advantage of his own wife. Lin Wu conveniently held her dainty hand in his own and stroked it gently. He then asked, "How long have you been driving this car after your cousin gave it to you?"
Li Luyao knew that this fellow was taking advantage of her using this opportunity, but she was truly afraid. In any case, they were about to be registered for marriage, so she didn"t resist.
"Before I reincarnated…" Li Luyao contemplated and spoke, "If I"m not wrong, it should be roughly a month."
"That has to be it then."
Lin Wu nodded slightly. "If this car truly has a malicious ghost but nothing happened to you despite driving it for one month, it can only mean that the target of the ghost isn"t you but the offender instead. Most probably, its target should be your cousin."
"But I"m still very afraid the moment I think that there"s a ghost in the car…" The tension in Li Luyao"s heart eased slightly, but she still felt a slight chill in her heart.
"It"s nothing much." Lin Wu"s lips twitched. "Think about it this way. How many people die daily in our country? It"s unknown how many ghosts there are. Some of them were innocent but died a horrible death, and they might turn into malicious ghosts. But if these malicious ghosts could kill as they will, wouldn"t society be in chaos long ago?"
Li Luyao helplessly shook her head. "Your guts are so big."
"This is nothing. When I was in university, I couldn"t sleep at midnight and would often head to the back mountains for a walk in the middle of the night." Lin Wu shrugged.
"Eh...you are so daring…"
Li Luyao rolled her eyes at him. She then asked again, "Did you see the appearance of that ghost?"
"No, I only saw its eyes clearly." Lin Wu shook his head. However, he continued in an uncertain voice, "But...it seemed to be a female ghost, I think it had long hair?"
"Is she beautiful?" Li Luyao asked.
Lin Wu was a little speechless. Women always paid attention to such weird points. That thing was already a ghost, was this a question of how beautiful it was?
"Let me recall what she looks like…"
Lin Wu intentionally acted and touched his chin. After pondering for a few seconds, he suddenly pressed one of his hands against his chest~~
"d.a.m.n, it"s a heart attack!"
After teasing Li Luyao, it was unknown why, but he suddenly felt his back was a little cold.
"..."
Li Luyao was speechless. She snorted. "There are many malicious ghosts among your wives in the future. I think you will die of a heart attack."
"...What"s there to be afraid of? I"m d.a.m.n fierce after I die." Lin Wu"s current expression - forceful smile.jpg.
"It"s more like you become extremely l.u.s.tful after your death." Li Luyao rolled her eyes. She discovered this fellow was still holding her hands. She involuntarily added, "Have you not touched enough?"
"Oh, you look like you are still afraid, I"m just comforting you." Lin Wu snorted. "I"m about to be your husband, there shouldn"t be a problem with holding your hands a little, right?"
Li Luyao glanced at Lin Wu. All of a sudden, she felt that when this fellow was trying to take advantage of her, his appearance and demeanor of having justice on his side seemed quite adorable. She couldn"t help but smile. She then shook her head. "There"s naturally no problem. But we are about to reach the bureau, I need to change gear."
