Seeing that Li Zi was still hesitant and afraid, Xiao Rui thought about it and came up with an idea.
"Why don't we just start the video chat? That way the ghost won't be able to sense my presence, and you won't be so scared."
Although she couldn't be with Li Zi in person, as long as she kept the video call going, it was actually equivalent to her being with Li Zi, and she would definitely not be so scared.
When Li Zi heard this, although he was still a little hesitant, he finally agreed after Xiao Rui's repeated pleading.
After that, she picked up her things and went up to the eighth floor nervously.
During this time, Xiao Rui and her video chat was always open. Because they were worried that other noises would affect what was going on, they both pressed the mute button and just looked at each other's faces.
Li Zi's heart was beating so fast that it almost jumped out of her chest as she went up the stairs. The closer she got to the eighth floor, the more scared she became.
Because she was about to face the ghost alone, even though the ghost had no interest in her at all, she was still afraid.
Especially since she didn't even have anyone to work with.
But having come this far, she could only bite the bullet and continue.
After arriving at the eighth floor, she first took Xiaorui's hair and walked around the door of Xiaorui's house. The purpose of doing so was to attract the ghost out of the house.
After waiting for a few seconds, she turned and walked towards the corridor.
The dark and quiet environment of the corridor perfectly meets the master's requirements. Li Zi usually doesn't dare to stay in the corridor alone because it is eerie and looks scary.
Now, for Xiaorui and her friends, she could only overcome her fear and go to the corridor.
After reaching the corridor, she leaned her phone against the side of the corridor and found an angle to continue video chatting with Xiao Rui. Then she took out Xiao Rui's hair and the talisman given by the master, took out a lighter, and finally slowly lit it.
Everything went smoothly when lighting it. All you had to do was put it down when the hair was almost burned out and leave quietly.
It's quick, nothing will happen.
Li Zi encouraged himself in his heart and prayed silently that his hair would burn quickly.
When her hair was half burned, she clearly felt a cold breath coming in from the door of the corridor.
The feeling that breath gave her was exactly the same as the one she felt when she touched Xiaorui's leg last night!
Li Zi immediately understood that it was definitely the ghost.
She tried her best to control her trembling hands, gritted her teeth and dared not make a sound. Seeing that her hair was about to burn to the end, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She slowly put her hair on the ground, and then all she had to do was stand up and quietly leave the corridor.
Li Zi did the same thing, putting her hair on the ground, trying her best to pretend that she knew nothing, and had no idea that the ghost was at the door. She looked straight ahead and walked towards the corridor door.
Just as she was about to step out of the corridor door, a chill suddenly rushed towards her.
Li Zi didn't know what was going on. She turned around and looked back, but didn't find anything wrong.
But when she looked at the phone screen on the ground, she saw Xiaorui's terrified expression.
Because her phone was on silent, she couldn't ask Xiao Rui what had just happened behind her.
She could only quickly pick up the phone on the ground and run to the elevator. Then, with her nerves tense, she turned on the volume of her phone and asked Xiao Rui anxiously after entering the elevator.
"What happened just now? Did something happen? I didn't see it!"
Xiao Rui heard this, but said: "It's nothing, I must have seen it wrong, you come down first."
The expression on her face just now clearly showed that she had seen something scary, so why did she say she had seen it wrong?
Li Zi walked out of the elevator with doubts and came in front of Xiao Rui.
She was still thinking about the frightened expression Xiaorui had just shown in the video, and asked her again what was going on.
Xiao Rui then explained.
"Just now I saw some gray hair on the ground suddenly fly up, and I thought it was the ghost moving, so I got scared."
Li Zi only turned around and took a look when he walked out of the corridor and felt a cold air approaching him, and did not pay attention to the gray hair on the ground.
After hearing what Xiao Rui said, I actually believed her explanation.
After all, if the gray hair behind her really flew up, it would be really scary, and people would immediately wonder if it was the ghost who did it.
Now the matter has been settled. According to the master, the ghost has probably left contentedly with the fake "Xiao Rui" in his arms.
There shouldn't be anything else happening next.
The matter was resolved, and Li Zi was completely relieved. She knew that Xiao Rui would definitely not dare to go home for the time being, so she asked her to go to her residence.
Xiao Rui thanked her and then went to her place with Li Zi.
After staying at Li Zi's place for only one day, Xiao Rui said that she had already booked a hotel and planned to stay there.
Li Zi was trying to keep her, and she felt that staying in a hotel would cost money, while her place was free, so she had no idea why Xiao Rui was wasting the money.
In response, Xiao Rui explained that the hotel she booked was close to the company, so she could get there quickly, while Li Zi's hotel was farther away and not as convenient.
But the apartment Xiaorui lived in before was even farther from her company than Li Zi's. She could get up early to commute, and she never said it was inconvenient.
Li Zi suspected that Xiao Rui was not used to living with her, so she made such an excuse.
After she persuaded Xiao Rui for a while and saw that she was determined, she didn't say anything else. She just reminded her when Xiao Rui left to remember to go see the master with her in two days to see if the matter was really resolved.
Xiao Rui nodded in agreement when she left, and made an appointment with Li Zi to go see the master on the weekend.
But what Li Zi didn't expect was that she wouldn't be able to wait any longer this weekend.
Because within two days, she died quietly at home one night.
Xiao Rui was extremely surprised when she heard the news, but after the surprise, she was filled with great panic and guilt.
Because she didn't know whether Li Zi died because of her.
When Li Zi's parents came to take care of her funeral, Xiao Rui asked them about the situation. Later, she learned that Li Zi had died suddenly at home for unknown reasons. When she died, her clothes were disheveled and her eyes were terrified, as if she had encountered something extremely terrible before she died.
The surveillance cameras inside and outside the house showed everything clearly, and there was only Li Zi in the room, no one else.
She was not murdered.
Although the cause of their daughter's death was strange, Li Zi's parents could only accept the fact with grief because they could not find any other evidence.
Seeing that they all said this, Xiao Rui could only force herself not to think about it anymore.
Or rather, she didn't dare to think too much.
Because whenever she thought about what happened when Li Zi burned her hair in the corridor that day, she would feel uneasy and guilty.
She actually lied that day.
She was not simply so scared because she saw the hair ash flying behind Li Zi, but she saw the ash flying towards Li Zi's back, leaving a trail of afterimage.
Although she didn't see the afterimage very clearly, she could guess what it was. If nothing unexpected happened, it should be the male ghost.
The afterimage pounced towards Li Zi, but she didn't dare to tell Li Zi.
Because she was afraid that Li Zi would blame her and then ask her why she was like this, which involved another detail that she had not told Li Zi, which was——
In the bunch of hair that Chestnut brought with him, there was actually a strand of Chestnut's own hair.
Xiao Rui had never thought about this at first, but when she was getting her hair cut, she found a hair on her clothes that didn't belong to her.
She quickly realized that the hair belonged to Li Zi, because Li Zi had slept at her house last night, so it could only be her hair that fell on her clothes.
She should have picked up the hair and thrown it away.
But for some unknown reason, a question suddenly popped up in her mind.
What if that ghost doesn’t even know that Li Zi has a good relationship with her?
Even though they slept together last night, she and Li Zi are not related by blood after all. What if the ghost doesn't fall for it and isn't attracted by Li Zi?
She really didn't want to be entangled by that ghost anymore!
This time she must solve this matter thoroughly to ensure that there is no room for error.
This thought became stronger and stronger in her mind. Finally, Xiao Rui hardened her heart and took advantage of Li Zi's inattention to clamp the hair belonging to Li Zi in the middle of her own hair, and then gave it to Li Zi.
In this way, her hair and Li Zi's hair would be entangled with each other, and their auras would blend together. The ghost should be able to believe that they were really close people with a close relationship, and might even mistake Li Zi for her.
In this way, the ghost will definitely be successfully attracted by the chestnut!
This way you can be sure of success.
In order to ensure the success of the plan, Xiao Rui did not tell Li Zi about this.
Although she didn't think it was a particularly serious matter, she did play some tricks.
It would be troublesome if after telling Li Zi she got angry and refused to help her.
So she hid the matter from Li Zi, and then watched Li Zi, who had no idea about the matter, walk into the elevator.
Everything went smoothly after that. The only thing that was beyond Xiao Rui's expectation was that the afterimage actually pounced towards her when its hair burned out!
After watching that scene in the video, Xiao Rui was even more afraid to tell Li Zi the truth.
If I tell Li Zi about this, she will never forgive me for the rest of her life!
So she could only hide part of the truth when Li Zi asked her why she saw something at the bottom of the video.
While answering Li Zi's question, she also secretly swore in her heart.
She thought that if anything happened to Li Zi later, she would rush over to help immediately and then take her to see the master.
She will definitely not ignore Chestnut!
