Chapter 24

As soon as I heard the crying, my sleepiness disappeared instantly. This was not a real child crying outside, but the cry of a ghost.

I put on my clothes and opened the door. There was no one in the corridor, but at the end of the stairs, a little boy covered in black was looking at me at the corner of the stairs.

I closed the door and walked towards it. The haunting must have a reason, so I decided to follow it and find out. Halfway through, the wall in the corridor suddenly began to peel away, and the entire hallway burst into flames. Suddenly, I heard shouting behind me. I looked back and saw a woman running out, holding a child. In front of her were two Thai police officers, beating her with batons.

After the woman was knocked to the ground, two policemen dragged the woman and the child into the room. I followed them inside and saw the two policemen stripping the woman's clothes. I had already guessed what happened next. I attached the ghost to my eyes, and all my illusions disappeared before my eyes.

This is the Sheen Hotel, He Man’s property, and my family will be coming here soon, so I can’t just let it go.

I immediately found He Man's room and knocked on the door. When she knew it was me, she opened the door.

When I really met He Man, I didn't know how to start the conversation and hesitated for a long time.

"What's wrong with you? Just say it if you have something to say." He Man said.

"Sister Man, has there ever been a murder in your hotel before?" I asked very tactfully.

Sister Man looked at me strangely and said, "How is that possible? If a murder had happened, my hotel would have been closed long ago."

I thought so too. Hotels where murders have occurred usually don't do very well in business. Besides, given our relationship, there was no need for her to lie to me about this.

"What's wrong? Did you find anything?" she asked.

"Just now at the door of my room, I saw the ghost of a burned child, and then I saw two policemen insulting a woman." I walked out with a tray.

"Ah?" He Man was obviously shocked by what I said.

"No wonder, no wonder." He Man said.

I knew she had something else to say, so I listened quietly to her continue.

"This hotel used to be a local chain hotel in Thailand. Later, I don't know why it was put up for sale, but many Thai businessmen didn't buy it. I saw that the location here was good and the price was low, so I bought it and then renovated it. I was so angry that such a thing happened." He Man said.

I breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that there was no problem with He Man's management, and this matter had nothing to do with her managers in Thailand.

Hauntings are not a big deal to me, I'm just worried about security issues.

"Little sister, you can catch ghosts, so see how to deal with it." He Man said.

"Don't worry, Sister Man, leave it to me."

"Take me with you, take me with you." He Man said excitedly.

Why is He Man even more excited than I am when it comes to catching ghosts? I remember when I first went to Hong Kong, she was particularly interested in these things.

I didn't refuse He Man because I felt that the ghosts' aura wasn't very strong, which meant they weren't very powerful. Besides, with my current abilities, I was confident I could protect He Man even if I encountered a powerful ghost.

I asked He Man to close her eyes and used a ghost to draw a talisman on her forehead to ward off evil spirits.

"Let's go," I said.

He Man followed me and we came to the door of my room. I recited a soul-calling spell, which was a spell recorded in the "Yin Fu Lu" that could make the ghosts who died here recreate the scene before death.

The scene replays: After insulting the woman, the two policemen were about to leave when she grabbed their feet. Another officer, seeing this, then kicked her in the stomach. The woman clutched her stomach in pain. Her child, witnessing her mother being beaten, burst into tears. Two officers immediately covered his mouth, preventing anyone outside from hearing.

Perhaps because of too much force, the child fainted.

The woman, believing her child was dead, launched a mad fight. But as a woman, she was no match for the police, and was soon knocked to the ground again. The two men, intensified by their desire, insulted the woman again.

During the insult, the two men, for excitement, even brought a candle. The woman struggled and accidentally knocked the candle to the ground, and the carpet instantly caught fire, but the two men were beating the woman and did not care.

By the time they saw the flames growing bigger, it was too late to put out the fire.

The flames engulfed the entire room. The two men hurried out, but the moment they stepped out of the door, they were grabbed by a pair of dark hands and pulled back into the room. The door closed on its own, and no matter how hard they banged on it, it had no effect. When they turned to look at the woman, she was clearly lying on the bed. The dark hands that had grabbed them were not hers.

Finally, the fire triggered the hotel's alarm device. After the fire was extinguished, the police found three bodies in the room. After investigation, they found that the two male bodies were newly appointed police officers of the local police station. The woman could not find any information no matter how hard she tried.

Only I can see all this, He Man can't see it.

I didn’t expect such a tragedy to happen in the original hotel.

In fact, the person who grabbed the hands of the two policemen was the woman's child, the little boy who was crying outside my door just now. He was smothered unconscious by the two policemen, and the fire burned the child to death. He turned into a ghost and trapped the two scumbags in the room, and they both died in there in the end.

In fact, the child's body was also in the hotel, but in their culture, the death of a child is much more serious than that of an adult. The hotel manager wrapped up the child's body and had someone throw it away. When the police arrived, they only found three bodies.

Since the little boy has already taken revenge, why is he still coming to me crying? A ghost whose wish has been fulfilled should have been reincarnated long ago.

I took Sister Man and walked out of the hotel, and the ghost of the little boy was waiting for me across the street.

He Man said at this time: "Little sister, let me see it too."

"Are you sure? This is not like Hong Kong. You might see something very scary soon. You haven't seen it before and you may not be able to accept it," I said.

"Don't worry, I'm very brave." He Man said confidently.

Actually, I just wanted to scare her, because living people generally cannot see ghosts. It will damage their yang energy, which can cause poor spirits at the very least, and bad luck at the worst.

Seeing that she was so persistent, I had no choice but to agree to her.

"It's only effective for three hours." I wiped my palm in front of her eyes.

When she opened her eyes and saw the child opposite her who was covered in black, although she didn't scream, she still held my sleeve tightly with her hand.

It seems that she is really brave.

I took her wrist and followed the little boy.

The little boy walked two steps on the road and then looked back at us. The direction he was going looked very familiar. Isn't this the road we just came back from?
