Chapter 5 The Hanged Ghost
In the mirror, the appearance of a young woman was reflected. She was wearing exquisite silk pajamas, her hair was a little messy, her face was snow-white, and her tears were not dry. It was herself.
She was still holding the charm in one hand on guard, and raised her other hand to stroke her hair. She felt relieved when she saw her own reflection in the mirror doing the same thing. But since she is reflected in the mirror and there is nothing around her, it proves that she is the only one in the bathroom, but where does the sound of bathing come from? !
Thinking of this, she half-tilted her body to look at the shower nozzle. She saw that the nozzle seemed to have just been closed, and there were still water droplets falling to the ground bit by bit, making a ticking sound. Echoes echoed in the bathroom.
Besides her, there was really no one else in the bathroom, unless - she couldn't see it!
She moved a step, but suddenly felt cold under her feet. She looked down and found that the bathroom drain seemed to be blocked, and cold water was rising to the ground, immersing her bare feet in the water. The water came suddenly and was particularly cold. An uncomfortable numbness spread from the soles of her feet throughout her body, making her already tense nerves even more alert.
Also, why does she always feel like there is something behind her when she is obviously alone? !
There's definitely something weird here! Although she doesn't have yin and yang eyes, she has experienced too many supernatural events and can already sense something!
As soon as she glanced, something flashed out of the corner of her eye. She couldn't see clearly, but she was sure that something was moving behind her. Suddenly, Xiaoxia's heart tightened, and she realized that it was something strange coming from the bathroom mirror! She froze and didn't move. She took a few steps forward slowly. The cold water under her feet made a "swishing" sound, and then she suddenly turned back.
In the mirror, there is a woman stroking her hair.
The face belonged to her, Yue Xiaoxia, but she knew it was not hers! Because her fear is getting worse, she is holding the charm in her right hand and holding the wrist of her right hand in her left hand. Where is the third hand to touch her hair? ! She did this action a minute ago, but she didn't expect this scene to be repeated in the mirror.
She was horrified, staring at the scene in the mirror in a daze, but at this time, another head stuck out from the back of her head, as if another head had grown on her shoulder - Long hair, bleeding from seven holes, tongue hanging out, and a pair of eyes with only the whites radiating a cold and malicious light!
At the same time, my face in the mirror also changed, becoming exactly the same as that 'woman'!
Sleepy!
Xiaoxia finally read out the last word of the water spell of the Five Elements Forbidden Law, and pointed hard at the mirror. With a crisp sound that could shatter the night, the mirror shattered in all directions, and the fragments shot towards Xiaoxia like sprayed bullets.
Xiaoxia didn't hide, and let the small flying knife-like fragments carry the power of the spell, pass over her body, and hit her back. When the shrill screams stopped, she slowly turned around and saw that all the fragments were embedded in the wall opposite the mirror, forming a vague human shape. On the human form, there are some speckled dark brown marks, like coagulated blood!
Xiaoxia imitated Bao Datong and made a hand seal. In fact, she couldn't do it at all. She just made imitative gestures to scare the other party. She knew that the 'woman' hadn't left yet. If she ran out now, it would be equivalent to informing the other party that they could retaliate against her.
"Who are you?" she asked loudly.
What answered her was a sudden cry.
"What are you here for?" She suppressed the trembling of her heart after hearing the cry and asked again.
"Wash - it's so dirty - wash," a woman's voice said intermittently.
Wash? Could it be that this 'woman' was just here to take a bath, and she didn't mean to harm her? Because she was born unlucky, so she accidentally encountered these strange things? But does the soul still need to be cleansed? Or did she do something related to taking a bath before she died, or did she particularly want to take a bath?
There was a 'chi' sound. Before Xiaoxia could think of what to ask next, the water dragon's nozzle suddenly sprayed out water. Originally, Xiaoxia was far away and should not be able to get water, but the nozzle seemed to adjust automatically. The angle was the same, pointing right at Xiaoxia's position. Xiaoxia was soaked on the spot because it was so sudden, and Xiaoxia's pretense of strength and boldness instantly collapsed.
She subconsciously ran to the door, and at the same time instinctively used the 'water spell' again. She originally only held one talisman in her hand, and the so-called hand seals were sufficient, but she used the water spell in the Five Elements Forbidden Technique, and what suddenly sprayed out was water, so she unintentionally used it. With magic power, the dripping water twisted into a small water column and shot towards the human figure formed by the mirror fragments!
With a 'pop' sound, a crack was created on the tiled wall by the seemingly powerless water column. The 'woman' screamed again, and all the broken lenses originally embedded in the wall were shaken down. Floating on the stagnant water, not sinking at all!
"You are an accomplice!" the 'woman' shouted bitterly, "You will not die well!" She screamed so sharply that not only Xiaoxia covered her ears in discomfort, but even the ceiling light in the bathroom suddenly exploded. The surroundings fell into darkness!
Wow--
There was a sudden sound of water, and the water waves gently hit Xiaoxia's ankle, letting her know that something was standing in the water and walking towards her step by step. In the darkness, she couldn't see anything, only the fragments floating on the ground shone little by little, as if what was on the water were not broken lenses, but eyes all over the place, staring at Xiaoxia from different angles!
"Dirty - I want to take a shower - you are an accomplice -" a female voice echoed in the darkness.
Xiaoxia was so frightened that she almost fainted, but she maintained the last bit of consciousness, gritted her teeth, took a big step to the right, and touched and pulled in the direction she had planned. Suddenly, the desk lamp on the small table outside the bathroom door came on, and the warm yellow light illuminated a small semicircle, driving away part of the darkness.
Xiaoxia took advantage of this light and quickly ran back to the bed, grabbed a handful of charms from the bedside table, took out one at random, and pointed it at the dark place.
"No matter who you are, no matter what grievances and resentments you have, please stay away from me, I can't control it!" Because she had the golden spell in her hand, she was a little bolder, but her voice sounded But he was a little unsure, "If you come to pester me again, I will be rude to you!"
No one answered, but the sound of water in the bathroom started again.
Xiaoxia sat on the bed and hesitated for a while, considering whether to stay here and wait for dawn or go to the bathroom to drive her away. She had heard people say that some hotels were unclean, but she always thought that only old and small hotels were like this. She didn't expect that these strange things would happen in five-star hotels. She didn't know whether she was particularly unlucky or whether her horoscope was really so light. Anyway, these things always came to her, and without that man by her side, she was unable to help these things no matter how big the grievances were. , but if it was evil spirits that harmed people, she would have to deal with it herself!
Thinking of this, she stood up, cautiously walked to the bathroom door, raised the charm in her hand, "Vajra protects the body, reflects the Buddha's light, and destroys evil!"
This time, she was determined to protect herself, so she concentrated her mind and heart. After the spell passed, she could only hear a ping-ping-pong-pong sound in the bathroom, and a faint golden light in the bathroom. After the flash, the numbing cold feeling in the bathroom completely disappeared.
Xiaoxia let out a long breath, knowing that the 'woman' had left. She tiredly turned on all the lights in the room, then walked back to the bed, put on a coat haphazardly, and thought about what to do next.
Judging from the power of the Five Elements Forbidden Technique just used, the bathroom will definitely be damaged. Compensation doesn't matter. Anyway, He Fugui is very casual about money. She takes care of everything during the trip, including managing various expenses. But, should He Fugui be told about this? If you choose to tell him, what should you say? It seemed that He Fugui was going to stay here for a few days. If she didn't mention it at all, should she change rooms? What's the excuse? And even if she changes rooms, won't the female ghost haunt her?
After thinking for a while, Xiaoxia decided to tell He Fugui what had just happened for her own safety. She had seen him burn incense and worship. Although he strangely sacrificed a green satin embroidered shoe and a bowl of white rice mixed with animal blood, he seemed extremely superstitious. If she told him about the female ghost who wanted to take a bath, he might leave immediately, and then she would avoid it.
She heard the man who broke her heart say that a spirit body cannot go very far without something else attached to it.
Having made her decision, she felt a little more relaxed. Inadvertently, she glanced at the curtains, and suddenly her heart moved. She stood up and walked towards the window. It took her a long time to gather the courage to open the curtains a crack and look out the window.
Outside the back window is the hotel's entertainment area, with a large swimming pool surrounded by beautiful flowers and trees. It was already late at night, and there was no one in the entertainment area, but Xiaoxia still saw something strange at a glance.
A woman was hanging from a tree directly opposite her window. Her body was hanging loosely like a rag bag, swaying in the autumn breeze, and she happened to turn around when Xiaoxia took a peek!
She lives on the fifteenth floor and is a little short-sighted. She should be reluctant to see a hanged woman, but at this moment, she can even see the hanged man's face clearly - ―The long hair is swaying, the seven orifices are bleeding, and the tongue is hanging out, it is the 'woman' in the bathroom!
Xiaoxia was startled and hurriedly hid behind the curtain, but felt that she had missed something, so she stuck her head out and looked again!
The hanged woman had her eyes closed, but now she suddenly opened them. Her bloodless lips moved, as if she said something, but Xiaoxia couldn't hear or understand.
Ding Dong——
Someone rang the doorbell, Xiaoxia jumped up in fright, threw herself on the bed to get the scattered charms, but before she could get them in a hurry, there was another heart-wrenching knock on the door.
"Guest, please open the door. What happened?"
It turned out to be a service staff!
"Guests, please pay attention, we are coming in!" the man's voice shouted again.
Xiaoxia responded hurriedly and put all the charms into the bag on the bedside. As soon as she did all this, the door was opened.
Seeing Xiao Xia standing beside the bed with a frightened look on her face, her clothes disheveled and her hair dripping with water, the man who was obviously the security manager was a little confused. He looked at the woman next to him and Xiao Xia recognized what kind of manager she was.
"I'm sorry, Miss Yue, right?" The woman is very responsible for her work and knows Xiaoxia's surname. "Excuse me, our service staff heard a loud noise in this room, and the tenant next door also heard something strange. "Sheng, in order to ensure the safety of Miss Yue, let's take a look at what's going on. Do you need any help, Miss Yue?"
Xiao Xia glanced towards the door and saw three security guards following these two people. Outside the door, there were several tenants peering curiously. Knowing that the sound coming from the bathroom just now had alerted everyone, she simply took advantage of the situation. .
"I don't know. I slept until midnight, and suddenly I heard the sound of water in the bathroom. I went to look, and the shower head turned on by itself, and I was drenched with water!" Xiaoxia's frightened memories are not fake at all. The uneasiness she had just suppressed was vented without any reservation, "I was so scared that I ran out and heard a loud noise in the bathroom. I didn't know what was going on!" She lied about the last sentence, but her The expressions on the two officers' expressions convinced them completely.
"Are you not injured?" The female manager glanced at the open bathroom door and winked at the three security guards. The three men immediately formed a fan shape around the bathroom. The bathroom is not an independent room. It is not connected to the outside world except for the door. As long as the door is guarded, if there are gangsters inside, they will never escape.
"I'm fine, but the light in the bathroom suddenly exploded." Xiaoxia thought of the fragments on the ground and the eyes reflected in each fragment, and couldn't help but shudder. "This is too strange. Is your hotel - ―Not clean?”
Xiaoxia's unpretentious body language also frightened the female manager, but she understood that the door was still open, and for fear of affecting the hotel's reputation, she quickly winked at the security supervisor.
"I will send someone to check. It is very likely that the electrical appliances are faulty. You also know that there are also failures in the switches of electrical appliances and water pipes. If this is the case, I would like to express my condolences to you on behalf of the hotel for the frightened Ms. Yue. I apologize and will definitely give you a reasonable explanation."
She spoke impeccably, and the security supervisor over there quickly went to the porch to persuade other guests to leave. Xiaoxia heard him say that the tenant made a mistake in operating the electrical appliances, which caused the bathroom to explode. Then she saw him say something with the walkie-talkie, then closed the door and returned to the room to take charge of the 'reconnaissance' work.
The result was completely as expected by Xiaoxia. After the electrician on duty replaced the ceiling light, the hotel staff found that the bathroom was in a mess. The bath mirror was shattered and the broken lenses were scattered far away. It was completely impossible to explain with physics knowledge. The walls and floors were full of ax chisel marks, and the extent of the damage was beyond what this delicate and frail Miss Yue could have caused.
"I also heard a woman's voice, saying she wanted to take a shower. No one has died here, right?" Xiaoxia added fuel to the staff's doubts.
On the spot, the faces of these parties turned green. No one has died in the hotel, but judging from the situation at the scene and Ms. Yue’s explanation that it didn’t look like she was lying, could it be that it was haunted?
"Let us change your room first and let you have a good rest first." The incident was strange and sudden. The smart and capable female manager and the strong-looking security director did not know how to handle it, so they had to take remedial measures first, "But this Please don't tell anyone about this matter. Our hotel has always provided good service. If our reputation is affected by a small electrical failure, we - please forgive us. After we discuss it, we will give you a satisfactory solution."
Xiao Xia Ming knew that this had nothing to do with the hotel's service, so he did not deliberately embarrass others. He readily agreed and changed rooms immediately. When all this was done, it was already dawn, and I happened to see the excited and tired He Fugui being sent back by four bodyguards.
"What's going on?" He Fugui asked.
Xiaoxia felt that it was not appropriate to let the bodyguards know about this, so she pulled He Fugui aside and whispered, "I've hit a ghost."
For a moment, He Fugui's body stiffened, and Xiaoxia felt an uncomfortable dizziness at the same time. He Fugui's ears felt very cold, as if something was blowing in his ears, and his eyes moved. The angle also seems a bit too big.
