Chapter Ten The Unexpected Guest
"Zhaoshuang，aren"t you tackling me?Was there indeed a secret in this building?"
Following Zhaoshuang getting to the forth floor，Fengwei felt terrified unaccountably as if something bad was coming.
"Take it easy.You will know when we arrived."
Zhaoshuang said in a dry voice as her custom，which sounded like a unsentimental robot under this circ.u.mstance.
As his disturbance grew,the temperature around seemed lower.Fengwei hugged his shoulder subconsciously but couldn"t resisted against the intruding of the coldness.
"Why so cold.I freeze to death！"
Fengwei jumped with his arms around his shoulders，complaining to Zhaoshuang who was walking ahead.
Perhaps it was Fengwei"s complain that made her stopped suddenly and then drew open a door of a lobby.
"It"s here，come hurry."
Zhaoshuang Appearing a bit strange，Fengwei walked briskly towards her.
Actually，he had some expectation now that they were here without anyone else and Zhaoshuang behaved some kind of proactively-- although he spoke with a sissy tone,he was straight.
Coming at the front of the door,standing side by side，Fengwei looked into the room with the flashlight，but he find nothing unusual.
"Are you sure there is a secret here?"
He was 90 percent certain that Zhaoshuang had deceived him，there wasn"t any secret.
And the reason why she lied to get him here--
Fengwei gave a glimpse on Zhaoshuang nearby，in the dim light，he didn"t make out her expression.
At the same time，Zhaoshuang had stepped into the lobby.
Fengwei followed suit，but to his surprise，the door was banged closing as soon as he had stepped in.
Two cold arms crossed over his shoulder before he could look around.
"Zhaoshuang--"
By the light from the flashlight in his hand，he saw clearly her face this time--a outpale face!
"I want..."
Though the pale face was scary and resembled a vampire,her sweet voice unloaded his defence.
To him, a woman throwing herself at him was welcome.
"What do you want?"was his coupled reply.
"I want--want！Your！Life！"
Zhaoshuang"s voice changed into a extremely hoa.r.s.e manner，and simultaneously Fengwei"s nose was flooded with a disgusting stench.
A stairwell on the ground floor stood Xia and w.a.n.gyazhi.
"What?Zhao--zhaohsuang is a ghost!"
w.a.n.gyazhi couldn"t believe her ears,because it was hard for her to believe a live person turned out to be a ghost.
"I said it was more likely，because the middle-aged man only said he would taken two people，not to mention，"she" came out after his leaving"
The memory that the ghost --Zhangxiaoshun had disguised himself as a librarian to cheat him validated his speculation.
"If you are right，then -- then Fengwei --"w.a.n.gyazhi couldn"t even make a whole sentence with the horror.
Xia indicated her to calm down，then shook his head.
"I don"t know，we can only hope he had a good luck.After all we were at peril ourselves，and will be discovered at any minute."
Dreading of her breaking down again，he added.
"But we can have a try.I heard that ghosts are fear of evil people.We will be all right if
we evince viciously."
"Really?"w.a.n.gyazhi asked as if seeing some hope.
"Yes."Xia nodded，then resumed.
"And I come up with another idea，maybe the ghost was fear of light."
"Fear of light?"
"Yes,didn"t you feel strange that the whole building was out of light.
All of the window are covered by curtains， the switches are hard to find，and above all-- the ghost comes out at night alone.So I think the ghost was either afraid of light or heat.Besides，aren"t all sorts of evil-doers fear of light in local movies?"
Uttering his thought at one time，xia found himself resumed without intending whether she had understood.
"SO we have to brace ourselves."
"Brace?Brace what?"
"Of course it is to make some light.The mere flashlight is surly not enough.Let"s open the curtains of this floor first."
Waiting was not one of Xia"s character.He didn"t like to leave his own lift in G.o.d"s hand，or other"s.
Accompanied with w.a.n.gyazhi,xia approached a window carefully.But several drops of warm liquids lighted on their head with any presage before they had drawn open the curtains.
"What--?"
Xia had a touch at the liquids on his head as he slowly turned up his head and shone upwards with the flashlight.
"Ah--!"
Two of them both started with the sight on their head,which took their breath away in union.
Because what they had seen was--a hanging dead body！
The flashlight began to flickering.Behind Xia,w.a.n.gyazhi was screaming as loud as to pierced his eardrum.
Though a flash,Xia had identified the corpse,which wasn"t any other man but the sissy man,Fengwei,who apart with them previously.
It was not his appearance but his clothed through witch Xia recognized him.
Because Fengwei was in bad shape that not only the body was distorted but the blooded head was whittled down to half.It looked so miserable that the corpse was hanging on the chandler above.
Only by now had they realized the liquids dropping on their head was something shedding through the wound of the corpse"s head--brains!
"When had he been hanged on it--！"
Xia started to shuttering uselessly and his mind went blank.w.a.n.gyazhi,who was following him had escaped.
Rubbing his cheeks hard,he tried to composed himself.
The reason why he was so scared was not the death of Fengwei,but the position of the corpse which was so close to them.
It obviously suggested--IT was nearby!
"I have to leave here at once！"
Xia dared not to hesitate,heading for the stair nearby.He intended to escape upstairs.
Nevertheless,he felt a sense of being spied before he had ran away for a moderate distance which was so strong that he could be aware of a "thing"tagging him without looking back.
His feeling was right.Because his shoulder was caught by something when he took risks to look back.Then a force erupting out of it that he couldn"t resist hauled him down.
"Ah--!"
The reluctantly suppressed emotion busted out as he flopped to the ground.
The flashlight which was held in his hand rolling aside. It completely disappeared in the darkness because of broken,or out of power.
The infinite darkness and desperation engulfed him totally,in a blink of an eye,like a raging sea.
Xia screamed to get up but found himself saturated with some kind of liquid,and then a no-light pressure was applied to his body.
There was something--something on his body！
But--he couldn"t see anything.
"Am I going to die--"
Xia felt truly the taste of desperation which was a hybrid of extreme inability and thorough helplessness.
Soon he came up with something which might save his life--the amulet his grandpa had given him!
He foolishly shrew them to the toilet but right now in his pocket he found the last one.
Thinking of the amulet,his heart was burst with survival.He struggled to took out the amulet from the pocket,putting it on his body despite whether it was useful or not.
In the course,Xia felt his hand with amulet was trapping into a ma.s.s of sticky mud.But a moment later,his sight was lighted with specks of red spark.
He gaped at his hand which was burning out of horror,no,to be precisely,the amulet holding in his hand.But the strange thing was he didn"t feel any burning pain at all.
Through this specks of spark,he finally made out the thing pressing on him.
This was exactly the ghost which had disguised as Zhangxiaoshun and almost had killed him!
The whole body festering as before and the face full of pimples as before.
The effect of the burning of the amulet was self-evident that made the ghost shook like had been shocked.It retreated and left Xia"s body outright.
Xia was not numb,got up nimbly and got ready to running.
And the amulet was nearly burning down.
It meant he had lost his last protection and he had to run for his life.But a bunch of dazzling light hit his face before he sped up to run.
"The person standing behind you was remarkable as expected.I wonder what is his or her rank of cadre. "
Very surprisingly,he suddenly heard the middle-aged man"s voice beside.
