Shao Di's parents are both workaholics. The hospital has had a series of cases of missing bodies, and they are so busy that they simply stay in the hospital and don't go home.
It just so happened that Shao Di needed them to sign the contract that day, so he went to the hospital at night.
"My dad's office is on the top floor, with a direct elevator. While I was waiting for the elevator, an old man in a hospital gown suddenly stood next to me and asked me to take him to the hospital entrance. I was afraid he was trying to escape, so I refused. Just as I was about to alert the nurses, the old man disappeared."
Shao Di covered his face with his hands, as if this could hide his fear.
“The next day I saw him in the pictures of the missing bodies.”
"Then you are quite lucky." Chu Mu suddenly said.
Shao Di raised his face in disbelief: "Ah? You call this lucky? Are you kidding?"
"Of course not," Chu Mu said calmly, but his words terrified Shao Di. "That person is called the Borrowing Ghost. If you had followed him, your body would have belonged to him."
Shao Di gasped: "So there really are ghosts in our world?"
Chu Mu yawned: "Haven't you seen it with your own eyes?"
"I--"
Knock knock knock.
A knock on the door interrupted Shao Di's words.
He was so scared that he almost fell off the bed.
"Who is it?" Shao Di's voice was still a little trembling.
Tap, tap, tap.
There was no answer from the other side of the door, only three slow and drawn-out knocks.
Shao Di's face turned pale.
He looked at Chu Mu who didn't respond, and bravely asked again: "Who?"
After more than ten seconds, a response came from outside the door: "I, Deng Weilong."
Shao Di's complexion did not improve, but became even more pale.
It would have been fine if it was anyone who came, but it had to be Deng Weilong.
After coming down from Jiuyin Mountain, Deng Weilong looked like someone had taken his soul away. The other team members thought he was scared, but only Shao Di knew that Deng Weilong was not just scared.
Tap, tap, tap.
The slow, drawn-out knock on the door came again, this time even harder.
"Open the door, I'm Deng Weilong."
Shao Di was afraid that if he didn't go over, Deng Weilong would break in.
If the other party is really that thing, a door cannot stop it.
It’s better not to provoke each other.
Shao Di clenched his fists and said to Chu Mu, "I'll go open the door, you go hide in the bathroom."
After saying this, he was afraid that he would regret it, so he walked to the door in one go and opened it.
It was indeed Deng Weilong outside.
He stood under the dim corridor light, keeping his hand raised to knock on the door.
"You..." Shao Di tried hard to keep his voice calm, "It's so late, it's time to go to bed."
Deng Weilong's eyes slowly turned and fixed on Shao Di's face.
He gave a stiff and strange smile: "I'll take the phone."
Shao Di really wanted to slam the door and leave.
He gripped the door handle tightly, his fingertips turning pale from the exertion.
"Cellphone," Deng Weilong's eyes twitched oddly, his wide grin slowly turning into greed. "You took my cellphone, you have to pay for it."
At this moment, Shao Di felt like he fell into an ice cave.
"Can't you pay?" Deng Weilong changed his initial stiffness and spoke faster and faster, "Then use your own money to compensate."
He stretched out his hand, and his purple fingertips were about to touch Shao Di's eyes.
bump.
Shao Di was dragged backwards by a huge force, and as he fell to the ground, the feeling of being nailed disappeared.
Chu Mu put one hand on the door frame and held Deng Weilong's cold fingertips with the other hand: "Don't you want a phone?"
Chu Mu grabbed his hand and pulled it down: "The phone is in my pocket, come and get it."
Deng Weilong's stiff cheeks twitched strangely for a while. He seemed to be in great pain, and fear appeared in his lifeless black pupils.
"No... I don't want it anymore..."
"Why do you say no?" Chu Mu refused to let go, and Deng Weilong had no way of escaping. "I don't like taking other people's things without permission."
He grabbed Deng Weilong's fingers and stuffed them into his pocket: "Come on, take it yourself."
As soon as Deng Weilong's fingertips touched the edge of his pocket, his whole body began to tremble as if he was having a seizure: "I, I, I don't want it anymore... I'm giving it to you... I really am giving it to you!"
Chu Mu smiled brightly, but the corners of his mouth were full of murderous intent: "Do you mean what you say?"
"It's settled." Deng Weilong nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
"Okay then, I'll accept it reluctantly." Chu Mu seemed helpless and let go of his hand regretfully.
As soon as Deng Weilong was free, he jumped high on the spot and ran to the end of the corridor.
Chu Mu closed the door, turned around and shrugged at Shao Di, who was confused, "He's quite nice."
Shao Di: “…”
He can be the captain of the strongest Group A, so he is definitely not a fool.
Although Chu Mu seemed to have done nothing, Shao Di was sure that Deng Weilong was scared away by him.
In other words, if it weren't for Chu Mu, he would be in great danger now.
Shao Di stammered, "Chu Mu, that female ghost in Jiuyin Mountain..."
"Hush," Chu Mu shook his head. "Don't keep talking about ghosts and monsters late at night. It's unlucky."
He lay back on the bed and wrapped himself tightly in the quilt.
Shao Di knew that Chu Mu was not going to reveal his strength, so he nodded obediently: "Yes, you are right, I will go take a shower and go to bed early."
With an invisible boss like Chu Mu around, Shao Di, who had been frightened all day, fell asleep like a dead pig as soon as his head touched the pillow.
There was even a smile on his face.
Chu Mu looked at the various snacks Shao Di had put in his bag before going to bed, and muttered to himself with satisfaction: "This kid is teachable."
…
It was three in the morning and the temperature in the room was dropping rapidly.
A thin layer of ice quickly formed on the surrounding walls.
A circle of black shadow spread out on the ceiling.
The black shadow has no facial features and no specific shape can be seen.
It slowly moved to a position facing Chu Mu, slowly stretched and drooped.
The black hair-like object stopped ten centimeters away from Chu Mu's face.
A pair of scarlet eyes emerged from the shadows.
Chu Mu suddenly stretched out his hand and inserted his index and middle fingers accurately into the two eye sockets.
The black shadow twisted and trembled violently.
Chu Mu pried open its eye socket, intending to tear it off completely.
Suddenly, the black shadow disappeared like powder, and only two wisps of black air remained on Chu Mu's two fingers.
The temperature in the room quickly rose and the ice on the wall disappeared.
Shao Di grunted and changed from a curled up position to lying on his back.
Chu Mu pinched the two strands of Yin Qi and sneered, "You don't know your own limitations."
Inside the business suite four floors away from Room 404, Chi Xiusi rubbed his sore eyes and said, "Little guy, you're quite ruthless."
Lao Zhong volunteered, "Master, I'll go."
"No need," Chi Xiusi flatly refused, "Let's test his ability with tomorrow's test first."
