Chapter 3: Grandpa Zhao

"Chichi..."
The wind blew in from outside the broken window, and the waste paper on the ground was rustled. I was so frightened that I immediately got up, ran down the stairs like crazy, and left the door of the tube building in one breath.
There are shops on both sides. I saw people on the road buying breakfast. The familiar shouting made me feel like I was reborn.
I breathed a sigh of relief and turned on the phone to check the time. It was 8 o'clock in the morning. Five hours have passed since I fainted. I opened the address book and quickly called the middle-aged man.
The call was quickly connected, and I was about to curse over my head, but I heard the middle-aged man's helpless tone.
"At that time, I was deceived like you, too!"
"As long as you comply with the two requirements, there will be no accidents. This will be a fairly easy night shift job. After one year, you can find someone to replace you! Remember, it will take one full year."
After repeatedly emphasizing ‘one year’, the phone was hung up, I dialed it again, and heard the sound of the shutdown.
Mad, that bastard, don't let me meet you again, or I will have to knock you out!
I went to a breakfast shop angrily to buy breakfast, and while eating, I thought about how to get out of that ghost hotel.
Full year?
It’s a joke that I don’t want to stay for a week. After all, nothing matters compared to fate.
I think there must be a way to get me out of the ghost hotel in advance, there must be a way.
Yes, after the middle-aged man’s explanation just now, I have determined that the place I stayed last night was a ghost, a brigade, and a pavilion!
"Jingle Bell……"
Suddenly the phone rang, and I saw the caller ID and slapped my head.
By the way, why didn't I think of this kid?
Zhao Mingliang, a brother from the same bedroom in the university, plays best with me, but he is very nervous. He always said that he was only 30 years old when he lived in a cloudy day.
For this reason, he said that his grandfather gave a yin marriage and his wife is a ghost.
Every time I heard him say such sulky words, I slapped on the forehead, laughed at him and took me to see the ghost wife.
Otherwise, don't BB in front of me. After all, now is a technological society, where is the ghost?
But at the moment, my whole body is numb, as if I have been electrocuted, because I really had a last night! And I have to work at that ghost hotel for a year!
After I was connected, Zhao Mingliang asked me to start playing games. Where did I feel that way, he went straight to the point and asked Zhao Mingliang to take me to see his grandpa.
After some words, Zhao Mingliang agreed to my request and said that he would drive over to pick me up.
I ate breakfast while waiting. After breakfast, Zhao Mingliang arrived.
The mountain road was difficult to drive, and it took an hour to drive to the grandfather's house in Zhao Mingliang Village. The old man was working at the door with various things on the ground.
I saw some paper people, paper houses, small wooden signs and other things, as well as some colorful flags with special symbols painted on them.
Several of these symbols were also on the yellow line near the front desk last night. At that time, I thought it was a "ghost drawing symbol", but I didn't expect to see something similar again.
"Welcome to come to my house to play, you...Huh?" Grandpa Zhao, who was smiling originally, suddenly sank his face, and didn't know where to take out a yellow charm.
Snapped!
Grandpa Zhao stretched out his hand and patted my forehead. At the same time, a cold thing poured out of my forehead, and the whole body was lighter and warmer.
Zhao Mingliang stood next to him and asked in shock, "Grandpa, this is the good brother I used to talk to you about sleeping on my bunk, not a walking dead? What talisman did you put down?"
I heard Zhao Mingliang said before that the walking corpse is similar to the monster in the Resident Evil movie. It has no soul. It only knows to hunt all kinds of living creatures and eat. It is the most bloodthirsty and murderous.
And Zhao Mingliang also said that the walking corpse is only the lowest level among zombies!
Without waiting for me to ask further, Grandpa Zhao had already lifted the spell on my forehead. He looked at the runes that had faded a lot, his expression dignified.
"You have encountered a ghost, and you are a very grieving evil ghost." Grandpa Zhao was very serious and said to me with certainty.
"I'm not dead yet when I meet an evil ghost?" Zhao Mingliang was shocked, and then stared at me like a ghost, "Li You, you won't cheat the corpse anymore?!"
I glared at Zhao Mingliang, and excitedly explained to Grandpa Zhao, from the beginning of the resume, I continued talking about the phone call to the middle-aged man when I woke up in the morning.
After finishing talking, grandpa didn't respond, Zhao Mingliang jumped up with excitement.
"Li You, if you can see ghosts, do you have your eyes open?" Zhao Mingliang looked at me enviously.
Eyes open? What do you mean?
Seeing my doubts, Zhao Mingliang eagerly explained,
It’s what we usually call the yin and yang eyes. It’s a pity that when you open your eyes, you can’t meet them. Ordinary people must wipe their tears if they want to see a ghost. I have to wipe it."
When Zhao Mingliang used to tell me about ghosts when he was in the bedroom, as for the tears of the cow, I vaguely remember that it was the tears of the cow, which had a psychic effect.
I feel that this girl is an idiot. I have encountered ghosts and my life is in danger. Are you still in the mood to make a joke?
Zhao Mingliang chuckled twice, a little embarrassed, he also realized something was wrong.
"According to what you said, after a full year, you will be separated from the ghost hotel like a middle-aged man, so you don't need to worry about safety." The silent Grandpa Zhao said again.
After a pause, Grandpa said again, "But after all, it is a place with a lot of yin, and just one year will also compromise your Yang life."
Grandpa looked through the house and found a round white ball for me. It felt like a bouncy ball. It was not hard and the surface was smooth, and it felt cold to the touch.
"This is a magic weapon made of walking corpse eyes, which can avoid yin air."
When I heard this, I almost threw the white ball out, but fortunately, Zhao Mingliang quickly stopped me.
"The front desk is similar to the existence of an enchantment, which can prevent ghosts from seeing you, but when you leave the front desk, your yang energy will leak and you will be recognized and eaten by ghosts. The same is true for not letting you speak."
Grandpa gave me another wooden box that looked very old and motioned for me to put it in.
"If you hold this eyeball in your mouth, the dead air will cover the yang energy, you can walk out of the front desk, and you can also minimize the damage to your Yang life. But remember, don’t let ghosts touch your body, otherwise ..."
The latter words were not said, but Grandpa's eyes that looked like a dead person had already explained everything.
I shivered abruptly, hugged the wooden box with my eyeballs tightly, and asked the last question, "Is there any way I can leave the ghost hotel in advance?"
"How much do you want to leave?" Zhao Mingliang asked me, as if he had a way of expression.
