Chapter 2.1: Sadako

 

It was only for a small moment that Mo Zhen stared blankly at her, he then pretended not to see her and drove the Land Rover straight into the garage. When he came out of the garage, the woman was still sitting in the doorway, her position unchanged. The rain continued to pour down from the sky, but the woman’s clothes were not wet,

As rain slowly dripped along the front of his hair, Mo Zhen gently shook his bangs and took out a key from his pocket to open the door.

As if she was aware that someone had finally arrived, the woman raised her head from her knees, a pair of dark black eyes blinked and stared at Mo Zhen.

Even Mo Zhen, who was used to being stared at by thousands of people, felt uncomfortable under her gaze. But to say where it was uncomfortable, he could not explain it. Trying not to see the woman sitting by his side, Mo Zhen’s eyes squinted as he entered the passcode for the house and unlocked the door. The whole process was done calmly and smoothly, as if he had done it more than a thousand times. In fact, this was the truth.

“Bang!” the door closed with a loud sound, startling the woman.  She stared at the puddle of water that had dripped from Mo Zhen’s hair a moment ago, the woman finally stood up from the ground. Curiously glancing at the large red door, the woman calmly walked over to it.

Mo Zhen had just taken off his coat and was wiping his hair- preparing to take a bath. The woman drifted through the door and to Mo Zhen’s side, continuing to stare at him.

Mo Zhen raised his eyebrows, though he was used to people watching him, he has never been stared at this closely before. The woman’s eyes were clear, there were unclouded and piercing enough so that people cannot ignore them.

Wrinking his brow as he turned, Mo Zhen wiped his hair with a towel as he walked towards the second floor. The woman walked behind him and watched as he walked into the room, took of his shirt and held pieces of his clothing into the bathroom. The translucent frosted bathroom door slammed shut with a pop sound and the woman touched her nose to the frosted glass, her body passing through the bathroom door.

Mo Zhen was in the middle of taking off his pants when his hands froze, he looked at the woman who was curiously staring at his face, and finally roared: “Enough! Stop following me!”

Mo Zhen’s voice had a large amount of power, especially in the small space of the bathroom, it was as if the string had finally snapped- he had gone three days without a break. The woman was startled for a moment, but her eyes widened and brightened as she realized, “You can see me? You really can see me?” she said excitedly while waving her right hand in Mo Zhen’s face.

Mo Zhen impatiently tried to block the woman’s hand, of course all that he touched was only air. When the woman saw Mo Zhen’s hand pass through what was suppose to be her own hand, she quickly took back her hand.

Mo Zhen proceeded to put his pants back on and finally looked properly at the woman.

The woman looked about the age of twenty years old, long supple black hair fell down to her waist, the slightly curled hair made her appearance look somewhat cute. She was wearing a navy blue dress and had delicate facial features and clear eyes; in some men’s eyes, she could be described as a goddess.

Fine, Mo Zhen admitted that for a moment he was amazed by her appearance, but it was only for a moment.

Because he knows very clearly that the woman in front of him right now was not a goddess, but rather, she was a ghost.

“Please go out.” Mo Zhen politely pointed towards the door, hoping that this little ghost would leave on her on accord. However, strange to say, ever since he went to the mountains to worship his master, he has not seen these dirty things for a long time, and now all of the sudden they show up at his home.

The ghost with a wronged expression looked at Mo Zhen’s slender finger pointing to the door, and whispered, “I have no ill will.”

So you just want to see me bathe right? Mo Zhen’s eyebrows were raised, so this woman was not only a ghost, but she was a perverted ghost, huh?

“Out.” The words this time were more of a command than a request. The ghost watched his hands ruefully as she stood there motionless.

“Oh.” The ghost hung her head as if she was crying, and reluctantly floated out of the bathroom.

Now we get to see how much endurance Mo Zhen has, if it were me I would run out crying and screaming. Horror movies are huge NO for me, I watched the beginning credit of the Sixth Sense and ran out screaming, That’s how much horror movies creep me out.

The scariest movie I’ve ever watched is the kids movie, Coraline, that movie is literally the scariest movie alive, I don’t even know how it was marketed for kids.
