Thinking of this guess, Mother Song slowly turned her gaze to her son in front of her and asked him with the last bit of fantasy.
"Xiaoyuan, did that ghost really die for you..."
Song Yuan's shoulders began to shake, and he started crying without knowing when.
He spoke with a choked voice.
"I didn't think about it. I really didn't think about killing him. I just casually said the house number, and who knew he happened to be at home..."
And coincidentally, the resident of Room 20-2 was the boy he had met in the elevator before, who looked somewhat similar to him.
In fact, Song Yuan didn't recognize the ghost at first. When he saw the ghost for the first time, he was just scared.
Moreover, when the ghost first came to find him, his mouth was full of angry words such as "Give me back my life", "Why are you hurting me", "It's all because of you", etc.
But to Song Yuan at the time, these words sounded completely nonsensical, as if Xi Wei was extremely resentful after his death, and he started to vent his resentment on anyone he found.
After seeing it several times, Song Yuan finally saw a familiar shadow in the ghost's facial features.
He realized that the face looked familiar and he must have seen it somewhere.
Later, as the ghost kept pestering him for longer and longer, and the other party also mentioned things like "why did you lie about your house number", he finally remembered who the person with this face was.
It was the boy on the 20th floor whom he had seen in the elevator before.
After realizing the identity of this ghost, combined with what the ghost had said to him before, asking him to take his life and saying that it was all for him.
No matter how stupid or dumb Song Yuan was, he knew that this ghost was probably killed because of his unreasonable involvement.
After confirming this, Song Yuan's mood became extremely complicated when facing the ghost.
On the one hand, I was afraid that the ghost would really come to take my life and seek revenge, and on the other hand, I felt guilty.
Although it wasn't him who directly killed the ghost, it should have been that strong man.
If she hadn't reported the boy's house number, the strong man wouldn't have come to him, and the boy wouldn't have suffered a tragic accident.
However, this guilt eventually turned into another kind of fear.
He was afraid that the truth would be revealed. If others knew that the boy was killed because he casually lied about the house number, how would they look at him?
Others will definitely condemn him or even attack him!
Although you may not have much legal responsibility, you will definitely be condemned from a moral perspective.
The thought that he would be condemned by thousands of people and labeled as a "murderer" when he walked outside in the future made him feel desperate.
He was unwilling to live such a dark life no matter what!
So after realizing the ghost's true identity, Song Yuan secretly made up his mind to keep this secret forever.
Never let anyone know the ghost's identity, not even his mother!
Just keep playing dumb, and everything will be over as long as he finds a master to get rid of that ghost.
When Mother Song learned that the ghost was actually killed by her son, she was struck by lightning.
She just looked at her son in front of her as if she was looking at a stranger, her eyes full of disbelief.
What was most difficult for her to accept was not anything else, but that after her son knew the identity of the ghost and figured out that the ghost might have killed him, he didn't say a word!
And there is an even scarier point.
Although my son was very vague just now, saying that he just met the boy by chance, he also casually mentioned the 20th floor.
Can he really guarantee that when he mentioned the 20th floor, he didn't have the slightest thought of asking that boy to hold the strong man back for him?
The boy had the same hair color and body shape as him, and was obviously of Chinese descent.
Even though he had never sent a photo to the burly man, the other party must have known his nationality and approximate height and body shape from their conversations.
If the boy I met in the elevator before happened to be on the 20th floor at this moment, could that buy him some time to escape?
Although she was reluctant to speculate about her son in this way, Song's mother had to admit that when her son mentioned the 20th floor, similar thoughts must have appeared in his mind.
She could understand his fear of that experience.
But a living life was lost because of this matter!
There were obviously many ways to hold back the strong man, but Song Yuan chose the most self-defeating method.
At that moment, Mother Song clearly realized that her son was too selfish and only cared about his own interests. When faced with anything that would cause trouble for him, he would either choose to escape or play dumb, or even let others block the trouble for him.
Thinking about how she had worked hard to make money since childhood just to give her son the best living conditions, she also hoped in her heart that her son could achieve something.
But it seemed that the facts were completely opposite to her initial fantasy.
Not only did my son not become outstanding, but he even lost some basic morals and emotions.
Looking at her son, Mother Song's eyes turned red and she didn't speak for a long time.
After Xu Yuan revealed the ghost's identity, he never raised his head again and had no courage to look his mother in the eyes.
After a long silence, Mother Song finally spoke.
She took a deep breath and turned to Lin Xiyu.
"Master, I would like to ask, can you help me?"
Lin Xi frowned when he heard this.
She thought she had made it clear enough that she would not help Song Yuan.
When Mother Song saw Lin Xi's expression, she realized that she had not explained clearly and hurriedly explained.
"I don't want you to help Song Yuan, I want to ask if you can help that boy..."
Although she was Song Yuan's mother, she also knew that the boy was the one who suffered the most in this matter.
And no matter what, if Qi hadn't lied to Song Yuan about the 20th floor and selfishly wanted the boy to help him hold the strong man back.
Even though he may not have really thought that the boy would die in this way, this incident is still related to him.
So she wondered if there was any way to make amends to that boy.
She also knew that after her life was gone, everything was just nonsense.
But if she doesn't do something, she will really feel uneasy for the rest of her life.
Moreover, doing so should also reduce some of Song Yuan's sins.
Even if she was heartbroken and ashamed of her son's behavior, he was still her son no matter what.
She still couldn't be so cruel as to ignore him.
After hearing Mother Song's explanation, Lin Xi did not say no, but he did not make any absolute statements either.
Lin Xiyu.
"I don't know if the other party needs your compensation. I can only let you talk to him. I can't guarantee what he will ask for or what will happen."
Lin Xi gave Mother Song a heads-up in advance.
