Chapter 85 Two Female Guests Killed by Crushing
“Hello, I’m the landlord here. Let me get straight to the point and tell you about the situation here. Someone has died here, and this shop has been vacant for five years.” He paused for a few moments.
"How did you die? Can you tell me in detail?" Yu Xiaolu blinked her starry eyes, still smiling as she looked at her.
Her smile was so infectious, and the fact that she hadn't changed her expression even after hearing that someone had died there gradually calmed the man's agitated heart.
"This matter, sigh..."
"The bar was open as usual that day. Five pretty girls came in and sat at a table. They were students from the nearby university, who came to relax and listen to music on the weekend. At that moment, two drunk men came over and tried to chat them up, insisting that one of the prettiest girls drink with them. The girl refused, and the girl next to her stood up for her and pushed one of the men. They started arguing during the struggle, and I tried to stop them, but I couldn't."
"Seeing that they were being unreasonable and still trying to drag their friends over, the girl splashed the wine on the man's face. The man then started cursing and grabbed a bottle and started smashing it wildly at the two girls. There was blood and flesh flying everywhere. No one dared to stop them. I called the police and 120, trembling. By the time the police arrived, the two girls were already dead."
The man looked pained and ashamed. "I'm so useless. I couldn't protect those girls. It happened right under my nose, but I couldn't do anything about it. I'm so sorry to them. I dream about them every night. They yell at me, asking why I didn't save them."
He seemed trapped in that unbearable emotion and was tormented by it for a long time before he calmed down a little.
Yu Xiaolu was silent for a moment, then asked, "What about the two men?"
"They were not sentenced to death, but to death with a two-year reprieve. They were reportedly released a few days ago for good behavior in prison."
Yu Xiaolu laughed, a carefree and innocent laugh, "Isn't this great?"
The man looked at her, utterly puzzled. "Is everything alright?"
"Only if they dare to come here will those two girls have a chance to get revenge."
The man was even more confused. He couldn't understand why this seemingly beautiful girl always said such strange things. He wondered if she was mentally unstable.
He suddenly remembered his purpose for today and quickly steered the conversation back on track, "That's how things are here. Miss, are you also thinking of opening a bar?"
"No, no, I think it's about opening a fortune-telling and ghost-catching restaurant."
Suddenly remembering something, the man pulled out his phone and frantically scrolled through it. Finally, he found something, looked at his phone, then at the girl in front of him, and excitedly grabbed her hand. "Are you that newly debuted metaphysical master, Yu Xiaoluo?"
Yu Xiaoluo put her hands behind her back, pursed her lips, and nodded with a smile.
“Great, let me finish telling you the story. I felt guilty after the incident and closed the shop. Actually, the shop is my own; I am the landlord, not a renter. Because of the murder, it was vacant for a while. A customer who didn't care about the incident contacted me and asked me to rent it to him, so I rented it to him at a very low price.”
“But a few days later, that customer called me and said the shop was haunted and asked me to refund the rent. I was very angry and felt that he was deliberately trying to shirk his responsibility and get the rent for free. He told me to stay there for a few days and I would find out.”
"I didn't believe in this superstition, so I went to the bar that night. Apart from a few waiters, there were hardly any customers. Apparently, business was pretty good when it first opened, but they were scared away by the female ghost."
"I stayed until midnight, but nothing happened. I lay down on the recliner and dozed off for a while. Suddenly, two groups of guests came in and made a lot of noise, which woke me up. I checked the time; it was around midnight."
"Their table is already full of wine, isn't that great? What's the ghost? I'm even more convinced that the guy just wants to avoid paying the rent."
"I closed my eyes to go back to sleep, but they started arguing. It seemed like two male customers were arguing with the female customers at that table. I opened my eyes and looked at them. When I saw the woman push the man, my eyes widened. The scene was so familiar. And when I saw their faces clearly, I was trembling all over. Weren't they the two groups of people who had committed murder before?"
"Those two women were still alive! I don't know where I got the courage, but I rushed over to try and stop the tragedy from happening. However, another man held me back tightly, while the man who killed them had already picked up a broken beer bottle and started smashing it against the two women!"
"The two women fell into a pool of blood and quickly fell silent. One of the waitresses buried her face in her hands and cried out, 'This is the third time! I quit!' The other waitresses also ran away. I stared blankly at their departing figures. When I turned around again, both groups of people had disappeared, leaving only a faint smell of blood in the air."
"And the whole bar was left with only me standing there all alone—when I realized there was something wrong with the place, I ran away like a madman—after that, it's been vacant, and if anyone comes to rent it, I tell them the truth—"
At this point, the man let out a long sigh of relief, as if he felt much lighter after pouring out all the worries that had been weighing on his mind for a long time.
Yu Xiaoluo turned around and said, "This is a lingering image of resentment. Those two girls died too tragically. They have deep resentment after they died. They are kind and do not want to hurt innocent people, but they cannot swallow their anger. So, they are suffering in the cycle of death every day."
The man said excitedly, "Master, can you help them? If you can, please help them pass on to the afterlife, and I will waive your rent for five years."
“If the evildoers are not eliminated, their souls will not find peace. However, if they are entangled in karma, they will not be able to be reincarnated.”
Yu Xiaoluo looked towards the bathroom and clapped her hands twice. "Come out."
The two female ghosts had been peeking out of the bathroom door. When they saw Yu Xiaoluo calling them, they knew they couldn't hide any longer. They exchanged a glance and then walked over.
The man's name was Xie Liting. He looked around but saw nothing, yet he felt the air around him suddenly turn cold, and a chill ran down his spine. "Master—"
Yu Xiaoluo opened his third eye, and when he saw those two pale and broken faces, he shuddered.
"Sisters, if you wish to be reincarnated, I can help you escape the cycle of reincarnation." Yu Xiaoluo's smile was very approachable and had a certain imposing presence, which made the two female ghosts lower their guard.
