Chapter 44 Help

"Besides, we were so sleepy at the time that my friend and I ignored the stench and fell asleep again quickly."

"When we woke up the next day, the rotten smell was gone. I don't know when it dissipated."

"Just a while ago we wanted to take the elevator down, and just as we got to the elevator door, it opened by itself, and we walked right in."

"After the elevator door slowly closed, we suddenly heard a tap-ta-ta sound from above, like... the sound of high heels walking..."

"My friend and I were startled. Before we could react, we felt the elevator descending very quickly. It went from the 18th floor to the fourth floor with a 'ku' sound, and then slowly stopped at the first floor."

"We almost thought we were going to die in the elevator, but when the door opened, we rushed out."

She paused while soaking her feet in Longjing tea, lowered her eyes to glance at the object in her hand, and continued with lingering fear, "The moment I stepped out of the elevator, the jade Buddha I was wearing around my neck inexplicably shattered..."

"My friend and I are outside the guesthouse right now. Our luggage is still upstairs, and we don't dare go up to get it, for fear of encountering something like what just happened."

"My friend thinks we might be experiencing something supernatural. I've been watching your livestreams for the past couple of days, and since you're broadcasting right now, I wanted you to help us figure it out."

After listening to this, Li Zhi said, "We're in real trouble. If it weren't for the jade Buddha around your neck protecting you two, you wouldn't be able to get out of this elevator."

Longjing Foot Bath's face suddenly changed. He turned around and looked at his friend beside him, then looked at the broken jade Buddha in his hand. No wonder it suddenly broke. It turned out that it was protecting them in the elevator.

[Is it related to the lost red high heels?!]

You guys are so bold! I wouldn't have thought of that! If I had seen a weird combination like garlic, chili peppers, and red high heels in a B&B or hotel, I would have run away long ago.

[You guys are still too young and haven't seen enough horror movies. Red high heels are a sign of bad luck!]

[The crying sounds at night were probably made by a female ghost... And I heard the sound of high heels in the elevator...]

"Master Li, what should we do now?"

"Go look for that pair of red high heels and see if they are still where you threw them." Li Zhi said.

Longjing Foot Bath was stunned for a moment, "Red high heels?"

Li Zhi: "There's an evil ghost in the guesthouse you're staying in. Someone must have performed a ritual inside. The red high heels are her relics from her lifetime, and they're also the means of sealing her away. You took her out. As long as she's not in that guesthouse, she'll be able to come out."

Li Zhi: "The crying and the stench you heard at night were all caused by her. She was outside at the time. If you had been curious and opened the door to look, you probably wouldn't have seen the sun today."

"Then why can't she just come in?" Longjing Paojiao asked, "Can't ghosts pass through walls?"

"Didn't I just tell you that a ritual was performed where you live, so she can't get in. That's why she can only lure you out." Li Zhi explained.

"Then we just need to find the pair of high heels and put them back to their original place, right?" Longjing Foot Bath asked.

"You go and go see if it's still there," said Li Zhi.

Longjing Foot Bath nodded, "Okay, I understand."

After he said that, he called his companions and immediately walked towards the place where he lost his high heels yesterday.

After soaking his feet in Longjing tea, he came to the trash can where things were thrown away, said hello to Li Zhi, put his phone in his pocket, and regardless of the dirt and stench, he followed his friend to rummage through the trash can.

Fortunately, it was not taken away by the garbage truck, and the two found the pair of red high heels when they were halfway through searching.

After soaking his feet in Longjing tea, he wiped the stains on his hands on his clothes, took out his mobile phone from his pocket, turned the camera and pointed it at the high heels on the ground, "Master Li, I found it!"

"Okay, where are you in Beijing?" Li Zhi asked.

Longjing Foot Bath immediately reported his location.

Li Zhi hummed, "Is Yuanzhi here?"

Yuanzhi: [Yes, Master Li, what's wrong? ]

"Do me a favor and go to their place now and help them return the shoes." Li Zhi said.

Yuanzhi: [Huh? Master Li, why did you ask me to deliver it? I'm afraid of ghosts too...]

"You have the amulet, so what are you afraid of?" Li Zhi paused and continued, "Don't worry, you'll definitely benefit from it when this is accomplished."

Although Pei Yuanzhi is afraid of ghosts, he is still very interested in these things. He is a novice but also loves to play.

He has the amulet given by Master Li. Although he has not yet seen the effect of this amulet, now is a good opportunity to try out whether this amulet is really that powerful.

Besides, he felt that Master Li would not harm him. Since he asked him to do this, there would definitely be no danger.

Yuanzhi: [Okay, I'll go there now.]

Big Orange: [No, Master Li, do you know this Yuanzhi?]

Li Zhi noticed Da Chengzi's comments and said, "I know you. If you hadn't had difficulty walking, I would have asked you for help."

Big Orange: [Hehe, when I'm better, Master Li, you can send me as you please!]

"Master Li, are we just going to wait here for him to come?" asked Longjing Paojiao.

"Yes." Li Zhi replied.

A trace of uneasiness flashed in Longjing's eyes as he looked around. "Master Li, will that evil ghost attack us again?"

"Don't worry, although the evil ghost came out of the room you live in, she can't leave the building, so it's safe for you to stay outside now." Li Zhi said.

Hearing this, Longjing Foot Bath couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and his tense back relaxed. "So that's how it is."

He paused, then suddenly thought of something and asked, "By the way, Master Li, why did you seal the evil spirit in that room instead of just getting rid of her?"

Li Zhi raised an eyebrow, "Of course it's because the person who did it was too inexperienced, so he could only barely seal her there."

"What if someone moves in next time..." Longjing Foot Bath asked worriedly, "Also, if the landlord knows there's something wrong with this house, why does he continue to let people live there? Isn't that putting people at risk?"

"You should be the first group to move in after the ritual. The landlord probably didn't realize it himself and thought everything was fine and you could continue to live there after the ritual," Li Zhi explained. "You should contact the landlord later and tell him about this. He'll naturally not dare to keep the room open any longer."

Longjing Foot Bath nodded, "Okay, Master Li, I understand."
