Chapter 1412: 1412

Sherlock Moriarty?

Sounds like a foreigner…

Moriarty… seems to be the professor in Holmes… Sherlock seems to be Holmes’s first name… This detective is using a fake name, right? It has a style reminiscent of coming up with a name when creating a game avatar… Perhaps he isn’t a foreigner…

I sense something from the ghost in the mirror and ask after some thought:

“Who is he?

“Why does he want to protect me?”

At this moment, due to the other party’s ability to communicate, my sense of fear has been greatly reduced .

I’ve become an Assassin . Isn’t it normal for ghosts to exist in this world?

It isn’t hard to accept something that goes against common sense!

Besides, it’s not like I didn’t sense something on the bus on the way home .

The blurry woman wearing a petite bonnet in the mirror replies in a flat voice, “Someone wants to harm you . ”

She didn’t tell me who Sherlock Moriarty is . Why does he want to protect me… It looks like it’s a secret . What is it that can’t be said? Many thoughts flash through my mind .

Suddenly, I think of a possibility and blurt out, “That cult wants to harm me?

“Sherlock Moriarty is their archenemy?”

That makes sense!

Otherwise, I wouldn’t believe that someone would send a female ghost to protect me for no reason, unless it’s the police who serve the people .

The female ghost in the mirror falls silent for two seconds before nodding indiscernibly .

“You can put it that way . ”

At that moment, I feel a subtle change in her eyes, but I can’t decipher what emotions are contained within them .

Under normal circumstances, a person without any training would more or less reveal their emotions in their eyes . This would help me understand their attitude .

But the entity right in front of me is a ghost .

More importantly, the things that can be discerned through the eyes most of the time are the more intense fluctuations in emotions or unconcealed emotions . Not only is the female ghost in the mirror blurry, but she also has a mosaic over her . Furthermore, her emotions are very mild, almost as though she’s emotionless .

After pondering for a moment, I probe, “Which people around me are from the evil cult?”

The female ghost in a black dress opens her mouth .

“They…”

Her voice becomes increasingly ethereal as it turns weaker and weaker .

Following that, a fine layer of snow appears on the surface of the mirror, just like an old television that has its reception hampered .

The female ghost vanishes amidst the static .

This…

What happened?

I’m not afraid of ghosts anymore, so why did the ghost disappear instead?

Did something happen again?

I turn wary and look around, but everything’s normal .

When I look back, the mirror has returned to its original state, reflecting my fearful and blank face .

Splash .

The water from the tap gushes out incessantly .

Unconsciously, I grab my wet towel and wash my face .

Nothing has changed .

At the same time, I don’t sense anything unusual .

Yes, no matter what, I still have to brush my teeth… I force myself to stay calm .

Since things are already like this, what’s there to worry about?

After brushing my teeth and wiping my mouth, I return to my room .

The moment I enter, I feel an indescribable feeling .

My eyes are drawn to my cell phone, which I have set on the computer table .

It seems to be the source of all the abnormalities .



Instinctively, I charge over, wanting to hurl the phone out of the window so it’s far away from me .

However, it’s very expensive . I changed it not too long ago… I don’t know if there’s something wrong with it… I’m already an Assassin, and there’s the female ghost protecting me . What’s there to be afraid of? I console myself, walk over, pick up my phone, and plaster my fingerprint on it .

After unlocking the screen, the first thing I see is a message:

‘SleepingWithCorpses has added you . ’

In the next second, my cell phone darkens suddenly, and the lights around me seem to be attracted by this bottomless pit . They are all thrown into the pitch-black darkness .

Before I can react, the faint light on my phone ripples, revealing a translucent face that’s without any eyes, nose, or mouth .

“There’s a ghost in your room . ”

The mouth of the face opens and closes, revealing a long and bright red tongue . There are five slender fingers at the tip of the tongue, and embedded on the two sides are rows of irregular sharp teeth .

Don’t tell me you’re not one too? I have the urge to give such a reply, but I hold myself back .


Recalling the message I just read, I ask with a slightly trembling voice, “Ma’am Da?”

Impressive!

She really is psychic and can control ghosts!

“Yes, I’ve already made some initial restrictions via the messenger . That ghost won’t affect you tonight, and I won’t have the chance to suck you dry . ” The translucent wobbles shook . “I’ll come personally tomorrow morning to deal with it . Give me the address . ”

“Tomorrow morning? I have work to do . ” I am thrown into a dilemma .

CEO Huang wants me to pick up the VIP at the airport!

If I stand him up, I will lose my job!

“Work? Is your boss beautiful?” Madam Da asks through the translucent face .

“He’s a guy,” I point out the truth .

“You like men?” Madam Da asks without pause .

“How is that possible?” I deny it, amused and exasperated .

“Since that’s not the case, why are you still in the mood for work even though you’re haunted by ghosts? Or perhaps, you have a female colleague that you have a crush on? You can’t skip a day of seeing her?” Madam Da scoffs .

“…Can’t it be because I’m poor? If I don’t work, who will take care of me?” I have a nagging feeling that I’m being led astray by Madam Da . The conversation is filled with logical errors .



Although I have some savings, it’s not a lot, and I have to pay for the exorcism .

Of course, I’m in the mood to work because the female ghost hasn’t shown any malice .

Madam Da’s translucent face opens its mouth and says, “What about your family?”

“They aren’t well-off,” I answer frankly .

“Uh… how are your looks?” Madam Da asks another strange question .

“Average . ” I feel lost .

“Height?”

“A little over 1 . 7 meters . ”

“Strong?”

“Ordinary . ”

“How big?”

“Huh?”

“How big is that thing of yours?”

“Hey!”

“It’s like this: I can introduce you to some part-time work . The other party consists of rich and idle mature ladies . They value young people very much . They’re willing to provide the necessary help and become friends with mutual benefits . Do you want to consider them?” the translucent face rambles on .

“…Auntie, am I just going to give up on my hard work?” I roughly understand what the other party was talking about .

“As long as you understand . ” The translucent, terrifying face lets out a suspicious laugh .

“I don’t plan on doing so,” I say without hesitation .

I have my integrity!

Madam Da doesn’t bother with the topic and instead says, “Then, when will you get off work tomorrow? Let’s schedule an appointment . ”

“Nine in the evening . ” I include the possibility of working overtime .

“Alright, give me the address . I’ll contact you on QQ when the time comes . ” Madam Da’s translucent face yawns .



This lady’s extraordinary performance has exceeded the limits of my knowledge, so I no longer have any doubts about her abilities . I immediately give her an address and ask, “Eh… Eh… How much will it cost?”

“The basic cost is 20,000 yuan . The price can go higher depending on the difficulty . If you can’t afford it, you can consider the part-time job . ” Madam Da is rather direct .

I recall my savings and feel a wave of pain .

“What’s the maximum it can go?”

Why don’t I just forget it?

Besides, the female ghost doesn’t seem to have any ill intentions .

“The highest it can go is 50,000 yuan,” Madam Da calmly says .

“50,000 . Only 50,000?” I’m surprised .

The translucent face snorts .

“I’ll give up missions that exceed 50,000 . Money is nice, but I need to be alive to spend it . ”

“… Okay . ” I see myself on the brink of bankruptcy .

“By the way, I’ll give you a document . You can download it and read about how to get along with ghosts . ” The translucent face slowly slides back into the phone .

Then I see SleepingWithCorpses send me a BitTorrent seed .

I open it and realize that there are a few videos in it . They’re quite large in size and are named “1,” “2,” and “3 . ”

Due to the seriousness of the matter, I don’t hesitate and turn on my computer to download it .

While I initiate the download, I start playing games to pass time .

After a while, the download completes . I open the video file named “1 . ”

In just a few seconds, a title appears in front of me:

“A Chinese Ghost Story . ”

“I…”

On the glass window, a blurry female ghost wearing a long black dress appears . She holds her cheek with one hand and quietly stares at the computer screen .
