This novel was adapted into a short drama called "Red Fruit," which can be searched for.
Lu Chi was an 18th-tier celebrity who finally got the chance to appear on a dating reality sho...
Lu Chi said in a low voice, "Xiao Piao, let's go to the 14th floor and take a look."
Tang Xiaopiao nodded and walked out of the mall side by side with Lu Chi, taking the elevator to the 14th floor.
Lu Chi planned to take a stroll on the 14th floor to see who that female ghost really was.
What is her purpose in lingering in this building, or what unfulfilled wish she needs someone's help with?
Or is it simply that they are evil and want to harm people?
When Lu Chi reached the 14th floor, he checked the time on his hand; it was 10:40.
Ghosts usually come out to wander around around midnight, and there was still more than an hour before she came out.
The 14th floor is mostly office space for various companies. There is a common area in the middle of the corridor, with some sofas and wooden benches.
When people come here to work, they usually sit on the sofas or benches in the common area to rest.
There are some wooden bookshelves nearby, with magazines and other reading materials for people to read and relax.
Lu Chi sat on one of the sofas with Tang Xiaopiao, took out his phone and played a game he had developed, "King of Glory".
I have to say, playing my own game is super fun!
Tang Xiaopiao had nothing to do, so she would sit beside Lu Chi and watch him play games.
Lu Chi turned his head: "You like playing games too?"
Tang Xiaopiao nodded.
Lu Chi laughed and said, "I'll buy you a phone tomorrow, and download all sorts of games on it so you can play to your heart's content."
"Mmm!" Tang Xiaopiao was overjoyed, her face beaming. She was clearly a game enthusiast. She tugged at Lu Chi's sleeve and acted coquettishly, "Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master!"
Lu Chi was playing a game when, without realizing it, the clock struck twelve.
Lu Chi didn't look up and continued playing the game.
He knew that ever since that incident, employees working on the 14th floor usually didn't stay out late at night, for fear of encountering that female ghost.
Now, I'm the only person on the entire 14th floor.
Now that there are people around, the female ghost will definitely come closer.
Sure enough, a few minutes after 12 o'clock, the sound of footsteps echoed in the corridor.
As the lights in the corridor flickered, a woman's deep singing voice drifted from the end of the corridor.
Just as Tang Xiaopiao, who was next to Lu Chi, was about to look up in the direction of the female ghost, Lu Chi whispered, "Shh, don't look up."
Tang Xiaopiao quickly bent her head down and continued watching Lu Chi play the game.
The female ghost sang all the way, and her voice was particularly eerie.
Arriving beside Lu Chi, the female ghost didn't notice that Tang Xiaopiao was one of her kind. Tang Xiaopiao sat on the right watching Lu Chi play games, while the female ghost stood on the left, also looking down at Lu Chi.
Long strands of hair had fallen onto Lu Chi's phone screen.
Lu Chi casually brushed the hair aside and said, "Big sister, if you want to watch the game, then watch it properly. Move aside a bit, your hair is blocking my phone screen."
The female ghost did step back a little, and Lu Chi continued playing the game.
The next second, the female ghost stepped forward and chuckled, "Handsome young man, want a smoke? Can I borrow a light?"
Guagua laughed heartily: [Host, here comes the classic scene: when you look up, you'll see a face without eyes, nose, or mouth.]
Lu Chi: [Hahaha! Yeah, let me pretend to be scared by her and see her reaction.]
Lu Chi held his phone in his left hand and reached into his pocket with his right, pulling out a lighter. He turned his head to the left, preparing to hand the lighter to the female ghost.
Suddenly, Lu Chi screamed "Ah!" and jumped up from his seat, leaping high into the air.
Lu Chi: "Ah!!!!"
He screamed and backed away, "accidentally" falling to the ground. Pointing at the faceless female ghost, he yelled, "Ahhhhh! Who are you?!"
Tang Xiaopiao, who was sitting next to him pretending not to exist, thought: "..." Ah, is Master really that afraid of ghosts? But why isn't he afraid of me, and why am I the one who's afraid of him?
Tang Xiaopiao felt confused. Was her master faking it?
The female ghost chuckled and walked forward, approaching Lu Chi step by step.
"Hey bro, what's wrong? What are you scared of? I just wanted to borrow a light from you."
At this moment, Lu Chi fell to the ground, his phone already lying to the side. He supported himself with one hand on the ground while desperately trying to back away with the other.
Guagua: [Hahahaha! As expected of a minor celebrity, your acting skills are top-notch!]
Lu Chi: [Of course! My acting skills can easily outshine a whole host of movie stars!]
Tang Xiaopiao suddenly stood up from the ground, ready to rush forward to help Lu Chi deal with the female ghost.
Lu Chi anticipated his prediction and said loudly, "Xiao Piao, sit still."
Tang Xiaopiao was very obedient and could only sit back down, wearing the mask and watching the female ghost and Lu Chi's performance.
"Little brother, what are you afraid of?" The female ghost didn't notice that Tang Xiaopiao was also a ghost. Ignoring his presence, she kept her eyes straight ahead and approached Lu Chi on the ground step by step.
Lu Chi retreated step by step.
"Where is your face?" Lu Chi trembled all over, his pupils dilated, looking as if he was about to faint from fright.
The female ghost became even more smug and pressed forward, crawling on the ground.
A face without eyes, nose, or mouth was placed right in front of Lu Chi.
He said in a terrifyingly drawn-out tone, "Brother, I can't find my face. Can you help me find it?"
Guagua: [Hahahaha! This is the first time I've heard of needing someone to help find faces! Host, I'm so scared, waaaaah~ Hahaha!]
"Sigh," Lu Chi didn't want to pretend anymore; he felt he was going overboard if he kept acting. He sat up from the ground and asked the female ghost in a serious tone, "Do you really want me to help you find your face?"
The female ghost nodded: "Yes, young man, how can a girl live without a face?"
Lu Chi grabbed the female ghost's hair and said, "Let me see. How can you speak without a face?"
The female ghost: "..." You dare pull my hair?!
"How dare you pull my hair?" The female ghost's voice suddenly became extremely terrifying. She raised her hands, ripped off her head, and placed it in Lu Chi's hands.
Lu Chi held the female ghost's head, looking left and right, but still couldn't see her face.
The ghostly voice echoed eerily: "Little brother, have you found my face yet?"
The female ghost's voice seemed to come from a head without a body, or perhaps from a body without a body.
It also has stereo sound and echo.
Lu Chi thought for a moment and said, "I still can't find your face. Should I look somewhere else?"
After saying that, Lu Chi stood up from the ground, grabbed the female ghost's head with one hand, and walked forward.
The female ghost: "..." He's not afraid anymore?
Lu Chi carried the head forward, with the headless female ghost following behind.
The clattering sound of high heels echoed down the corridor.
If someone were to see this scene, they would be terrified.
