Chapter 9 Excitement



Jin Banwei was still enjoying the baptism of hot water when a strange and suppressed sound was heard outside the house. There were two completely different voices. Logically speaking, Ren Qiao was the only one in the room, so it was impossible for two voices to be heard.

Before she could figure it out, she saw a figure swaying towards the bathroom through the frosted glass. It should be Ren Qiao.

Jin Banwei hadn't noticed this just now, but now she was shocked. She could see Ren Qiao's blurry figure, so Ren Qiao could also see her. She was naked now, so Jin Banwei subconsciously tried to cover herself up. Ren Qiao outside the house had already raised his hand and knocked on the door: "Xiao Jin, can you come out and turn off the TV?"

Ren Qiao's voice sounded hesitant, even shy.

Jin Banwei didn't expect that Ren Qiao didn't know how to use the TV, but if he didn't know how to use it, there wouldn't be any need for her to go out and turn it off. It was just that it showed some scenes she didn't like, so she could just not watch them.

Although she felt strange, she still quickly responded to Ren Qiao: "Okay, Sister Ghost, I'll be right out."

Ren Qiao didn't want to disturb Jin Banwei, but the noise was a little too loud.

The closer she got, the more she could see. The sound of running water in the bathroom disappeared. Ren Qiao lowered her head and looked at the tip of her shoes. The trembling of her fingertips was an emotion she was trying hard to control.

The bathroom door was opened. Ren Qiao subconsciously raised his eyes and saw a fair complexion. Although Jin Banwei was wearing long pants, she only wore a tight sweater on her upper body. The short sweater revealed more white than the cloth. Her waist was slender, her arms were like broken lotus roots, and her collarbone was delicate and deep...

Her vision was greatly shocked, and Jin Banwei's vision was also greatly shocked. She saw the picture played on TV at a glance. The two bodies intertwined together made her finally understand the source of the strange sound.

“……”Isn’t the scale of the images that can be displayed on television in this world too large?

Jin Banwei walked around Ren Qiao and ran quickly to the TV. She heaved a sigh of relief when the TV screen disappeared. At the same time, she felt a little annoyed. What on earth had she shown Ren Qiao?

She wanted to cry but had no tears. Just when she wanted to apologize to Ren Qiao, she found that Ren Qiao was no longer in the living room. Jin Banwei felt panic inexplicably in her heart: "Ghost sister, ghost sister!"

"Xiao Jin." Ren Qiao came out of the bedroom holding a coat. The dark grey coat looked a bit old-fashioned. Before Jin Banwei could react, the coat was already on her. "You are afraid of the cold, so put on more clothes."

She was afraid of the cold, but the sun outside looked very warm.

Seeing that she didn't move, Ren Qiao gently pinched her wrist and called her, "Xiao Jin."

Jin Banwei's resistance disappeared the moment Ren Qiao gently pinched her wrist. How could she bear to reject her wife's concern for her?

Jin Banwei also found that she had actually gotten too caught up in her identity. She silently cursed herself guilty and obediently put on her coat, but she had no intention of buttoning it up.

Ren Qiao stared at her exposed waist and abdomen, and his jade-white fingers touched Jin Banwei's collar, and followed the collar to the first button, then the second. Jin Banwei watched Ren Qiao button up all the buttons on her clothes without missing a single one. She secretly wondered how likely it was that Ren Qiao had obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Ren Qiao let her go, unsealed the black umbrella, handed it to her, and disappeared into it.

Jin Banwei finally packed up everything.

When she reached the door of the room, Jin Banwei stopped.

She opened the curtains, blew out the oil lamp in the room, and found her bank card, wallet, ID card and mobile phone in the bedside table. Jin Banwei glanced at the information on the ID card and found that the name had been changed to hers, and even her birthday had been changed.

One has to admire the efficiency of the system. There is no trace of the original owner in this world. Fortunately, the original owner is an orphan, otherwise Jin Banwei would not know how to face her relatives. She is not good at dealing with family relationships, and she cannot feel at ease to replace her.

The exchange mechanism of the good karma system gave both her and the original owner a new life without any psychological burden. The original owner escaped from the horror game, and she was reborn in the horror game.

Jin Banwei took out a black backpack, stuffed two pieces of clothes into it, and also took a charger and a power bank. She had the idea of ​​escaping from the nightmare in her mind, so she would not come back after leaving here.

Now that she has changed her appearance, her birth date and horoscope are different from the original owner. Even if Yan has supernatural powers, it should be difficult for him to find her.

After thinking all this through, Jin Banwei went out with her bag and black umbrella. Her cell phone, which had not been used for a long time, had run out of battery, but fortunately there was still power in her power bank, so she plugged it in.

Jin Banwei did not directly possess the original owner's memories, so this place was very unfamiliar to her. Her neighbors also felt unfamiliar when they saw her, so she quickly walked out of the community.

The original owner was just an ordinary office worker, but because he was an orphan and desperately wanted a home, he bought a house in such a remote place. In the past, he often had to commute for more than an hour to get to work, and passing taxis here were almost invisible.

Jin Banwei took out her wallet and took a look. There wasn't much money in it, only thirty-seven yuan including the coins.

Now, Jin Banwei completely gave up the idea of ​​waiting for a taxi. She saw the bus stop opposite.

While waiting for the green light, she ran towards the bus stop and successfully found the bus to Chongxiang Road on the bus stop sign.

She got on the bus and headed towards the place Jiang Chuchu mentioned.

Chongxiang Road is in the city center. It takes a long way to get there. There are not many people on the bus at this moment. After Jin Banwei put in the coin, she sat in the last row. She touched the black umbrella and whispered, "Chu Chu, you will see your mother soon."

The one who responded to her was not Jiang Chuchu, but Ren Qiao, whose ghost head emerged from the black umbrella. Ren Qiao frowned slightly and said to Jin Banwei, who was too optimistic at the moment, "Although Chuchu looks young, she has been a ghost longer than all of them. She has stayed in the world of the living for thirty years."

Thirty years!

Jin Banwei's eyes were dull for a moment. Thirty years was enough to change so many things. New buildings replaced old ones, new people replaced old ones. Would Jiang Chuchu's mother really still be there waiting for her? Even if her mother was willing to wait, her home should have been demolished.

After being discouraged for a moment, Jin Banwei cheered up again: "It doesn't matter, as long as you are determined, you can always find it. Adults don't cheat children of their money."

Ren Qiao was a little surprised: "Xiao Jin, when did you accept Chu Chu's money?"

She didn't collect the money, but she did collect the good karma points.

Fortunately, Ren Qiao didn't force her to answer her.

Ren Qiao pondered for a moment and suddenly said, "You should indeed collect Chuchu's money. Ghost hunters all charge money, but Chuchu's money should be ghost money, which is useless to you. This does not cut off the cause and effect. If you can find Chuchu's mother, ask her for it."

Jin Banwei just wanted to make good friends, she didn't think of asking for money, but Ren Qiao seemed to have something else in his words.

Jin Banwei couldn't help but ask her, "Do all ghost hunters charge money?"

"Don't you ghost hunters insist on giving and receiving, so as not to be contaminated by karma? I met a paper-making master before, and the family he met was very poor, but he also asked for a penny before doing his work."

Ren Qiao specifically mentioned the paper-making master because she herself was made into a paper figure by paper-making technique. She subconsciously felt that although Jin Banwei was weak, her ability to control yin and yang was paper-making. How could she know that Jin Banwei's paper-making technique was also temporary?

Jin Banwei suddenly realized that the heroine in the book would kill ghosts when she saw them, but Jin Banwei didn't know that the ghost catcher had this trick.

"Then Sister Ghost, how much money should we ask Chu Chu's mother for? Will we only charge one penny?"

Just as Jin Banwei was about to accept Ren Qiao's suggestion, the system's voice rang in her mind.

[Host, please quickly give up this idea. Accepting money will greatly reduce the ghost's gratitude to the host. The host provides help to the ghost, and the ghost provides good karma to the host. This is also an equal exchange and will not be affected by cause and effect. ]

Jin Banwei ignored the system. She could sense the changes in herself, only because Ren Qiao's original intention of asking her to collect the money was because he was worried that she would be involved in the cause and effect.

Although she was resistant to the ghost wife at the beginning, Jin Banwei now actually enjoyed it a bit. She enjoyed Ren Qiao's tenderness. It was normal for the cold machine to not understand the truth that listening to his wife would make him rich.

A temporary wife is still a wife.

Jin Banwei bit her tongue and forced herself to wake up from her wild thoughts, but she still had to take the money. There were only thirty-seven yuan in the wallet left by the original owner, and she had just spent one yuan on the bus.

Ren Qiao didn't know about the system's persuasion of Jin Banwei, nor did she know about Jin Banwei's wild thoughts. She was still thinking seriously about Jin Banwei's words. She said softly, "The standards for charging money for each of those ghost hunters are a little different. I don't really know."

"Sister Ghost, have you seen many ghost hunters before?"

"Yeah, quite a lot."

Jin Banwei was stunned, and read the horror hidden behind this sentence: "Then, then they didn't catch you?"

“They can’t beat me.”

Ren Qiao's casual words stirred up a thousand waves in Jin Banwei's heart. The first thing that came to her mind was not the surprise at Ren Qiao's strength, but Ren Qiao's past experiences. Although she said it very lightly, she almost tacitly assumed that every ghost hunter she had met had the idea of ​​killing her.

She had Ren Qiao to protect her, and the reason why Ren Qiao was still alive was because of her own hard work.

Jin Banwei couldn't hide the pain in her heart, her eyes were red, Ren Qiao was shocked by this sudden change, she quickly asked Jin Banwei in a soft voice: "Xiao Jin, what's wrong with you?"

Jin Banwei just felt a little sorry for Ren Qiao.

But as the weak one, she seemed to have no right to feel sorry for the strong one.

Jin Banwei tried her best to hide the pity in her eyes. She shifted the conversation to Jiang Chuchu, as if her sadness was caused by Jiang Chuchu.

"Sister Ghost, Chuchu has been gone for thirty years. I wonder if Chuchu's mother has forgotten her."

Ren Qiao did not answer her, but asked her instead: "What do you think, Xiao Jin?"

"I have no idea."

Ren Qiao smiled, but the smile seemed a little forced, and there was still some longing in her eyes: "I don't know either. My soul is incomplete, and I don't even have any memories of my life. I don't really understand the emotional ties of the world."

It turned out that they all could not empathize with Jiang Chuchu's longing for her mother, but they also had some longing for that feeling.

It’s just that she was like that because of past experiences, while Ren Qiao was like that because he had forgotten the past.

The same, yet a little different.

During the rest of the journey, Jin Banwei would chat with Ren Qiao from time to time so that the ride would not be too boring.

Jin Banwei was not sure whether the original owner's phone was broken. The power bank had been plugged in for so long and there was no way to turn it on along the way. However, the flickering light reminded Jin Banwei that the phone could be charged.

Finally, they arrived at their station.
