Chapter 420: Light
This was… Banana Wolf reacted. This was not Chu Jiu. It was the dog from Wen Qing's bedroom!
As he expected, the other dog bounded from his right. It cuddled with Banana Wolf, even friendlier than the first one. Banana Wolf slowly put down the dogs and stood up. After he realised he was in Sister Qing's bedroom, he became more confident. Following his memory, he moved along the wall and found the nightlight. He switched it on. The orange light came on.
Seeing the familiar decoration, Banana Wolf calmed down. But where was Sister Qing?
The bedroom door was closed. The two dogs obediently lay beside Banana Wolf. One of them ran to the corner and came back with a tennis ball. It looked at Banana Wolf expectantly. It wanted Banana Wolf to play ball with it. Banana Wolf knelt to ruffle its hair. "Where is your master?" He asked.
Bark!
"Never mind." Banana Wolf shook his head. "Why would I ask you? I should look for her myself."
The dog tilted its head as if thinking. Then, it ran away to fetch a picture from the bedside table.
Banana Wolf froze when he got the picture. It was the picture of a couple. The woman was Sister Qing. The man was Lee Maoshen!
"Has Sister Qing gone to find Lee Maoshen?" Banana Wolf became anxious as he jumped up. He opened the bedroom door. The living room was empty. Sister Qing was not around. Lee Maoshen was in Building 3's Room 503. Sister Qing must have gone there.
Something… didn't feel right. He carefully observed the surroundings. He even turned back to look, but he didn't find anything. So…
When his gaze swept past the door, he halted. Then, he slowly focused on one point…
Then, a chill ran down his spine. Sister Qing's front door opened from the inside. However, he remembered clearly from his last visit that the door should open from the outside. He remembered it clearly because Sister Qing only opened the door slightly, and Hao Shuai shoved the money through it.
No! This was a trap! Once he left the door, he would die!
He quickly took a step back. As the door was about to close, something horrifying happened. Two ghastly faces poked out from the top of the door. They scared Banana Wolf so much that he staggered back. One was Lee Maoshen, and the other belonged to a woman. Her face was covered by long hair, so he couldn't recognise her at first glance. However, it should be Yu Youwei.
The two ghosts hid on the ceiling outside the corridor and waited for him. Once he left the room, he'd be killed. How disgusting…
Banana Wolf calmed down. The two ghosts outside knew that they had been exposed. They glared at Banana Wolf and slowly crawled away. However, Banana Wolf knew that they hadn't left. They guarded outside the door to wait for him.
He was temporarily safe inside the house, but he couldn't stay there forever. He didn't know what was going on with Hao Shuai, and the situation had to be more dangerous for Hao Shuai.
He slowly looked around the room. Why… didn't the two ghosts charge into the room to kill him? The door was open. Based on his experience, he should be dead already. Could it be… Was there something they were scared of inside the house?
It had to be Sister Qing!
An empty house wouldn't scare the two ghosts. The only explanation was that Sister Qing was in the house. But then… Why didn't she show up?
Banana Wolf thought of the gentle woman, and warmth appeared in his eyes. He suspected Sister Qing was limited by something similar to the rules and couldn't show up. He went into Sister Qing's bedroom. This was where she did. So if she were around, she would most likely be there. The obsession there was the strongest.
As he looked around, the two dogs came back to him. One of them had the picture in its mouth. It was the picture of Sister Qing and Lee Maoshen. Banana Wolf looked at it with confusion. Lee Maoshen still looked as annoying as ever, but Sister Qing… Banana Wolf's expression shifted.
She had changed!
She looked so anxious. Scars appeared on her body as if she were trying to break through some limitations. The most important thing was her eyes. She was looking at her with concern. She could see him!
Banana Wolf instantly got it. This was probably Lee Maoshen and Yu Youwei's story. They were still together after death. He could sense it. The nightmare was crumbling. The despair that gripped him was slowly taken over by another force.
He didn't die instantly because Sister Qing or that power had been helping him. However, this was still the couple's story. Their power dominated the place. There was only so much Sister Qing could do.
Banana Wolf stopped thinking about escaping. A different idea appeared in his mind. What if… he could lure Lee Maoshen and Yu Youwei into the house or the bedroom? What would happen?
Would he be lucky to witness Sister Qing slaughter the couple? They would hold hands in penance.
Banana Wolf grinned. Suddenly, the world was filled with light.
