Chapter 106: Reenactment

"Because we are by appointment only, although Miss Hong was not arriving until three days later, we already knew that no one would be staying for these two days. I remember, that night, I held the vase and opened the door of the suite. Before I turned on the light, I, I saw a woman in white clothes in the vanity mirror in the living room, her hair was wet, and her mouth was opening and closing as if she wanted to say something to me. I was so scared that I put down the vase and ran away. I went to find Manager Bao, and Manager Bao accompanied me back to the suite. As a result, when I turned on the light, there was nothing inside. At that time, I thought I had misread it..."

"Mouth opening and closing? Do you remember what she was saying?" Zhong Kui seemed very interested in this.

Xiao Sun heard this, frowned, and tried hard to recall, even trying to make the shape she saw at the time with her mouth. After a long time, she hesitated and said: "It should be 'my dear'..."

"'My dear'?" Zhong Kui repeated.

Xiao Sun saw this, opened her eyes wide, and pointed at Zhong Kui's face: "Yes, yes, that's the expression, that kind of terrifying yet seductive look, just like you..."

Zhong Kui's eyes scanned the other few people who had become trembling because of Xiao Sun's narration. The cold wind in the mountains became more intense. I don't know if it was because of fear or cold, they were all shivering uncontrollably.

"Then who saw it next?" Zhong Kui's eyes swept past Liu Ayi and landed on the two men.

Xiao Wang immediately looked at Xiao Guo. Xiao Guo was like a student suddenly called upon to answer a question, standing up from where he was in a panic.

"Just sit and talk." As soon as Zhong Kui's voice fell, Xiao Guo immediately sat back down obediently.

"I, I also saw it when I was patrolling. The situation was similar to what Manager Bao saw, it's just that the ghost floated higher, in that place..." Xiao Guo said, pointing his hand above the wall. Everyone followed where he pointed. At this time, the high night sky, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, a wisp of smoke and clouds drifted by, as if the ghost shadow would appear along with the moonlight at any time.

Zhong Kui seemed to find it very boring and looked at the other male employee—handyman Xiao Wang.

Xiao Wang was very self-aware and immediately answered: "The situation I saw was the same, it's just that it was over at the Shan Zi Er Hao Fang, a woman in white clothes, her hair was wet, and she also seemed to be talking, but I couldn't hear what she was saying..."

Immediately after, Liu Ayi recounted the terrifying scene she saw on the night Hong Mei died with lingering fear.

"Ask some specific questions." Zhong Kui said, "Did you see a modern person or an ancient person?"

When others were still hesitating, only cleaner Liu Ayi blurted out very firmly: "It's an ancient person!"

Xiao Sun said confusedly on the side: "Can't tell what kind of person it is, just can see she's wearing white clothes."

"No, the hair is wet." Xiao Wang added.

"No way, the hair is curly, the kind that's been permed, big waves, I'm very sure it's a modern woman." Bao Chuchu put forward a different opinion.

Several people actually argued like this.

Qi Fei watched from the side, speechless, and couldn't help but mutter: "Nonsense."

This is when Zhong Kui asked the second question: "Is there blood on the female ghost?"

"No!"

"Yes!" Again, only Liu Ayi's answer was completely different from the others.

"Disappeared suddenly?" Zhong Kui continued to ask.

"Yes!" Others answered firmly, only Liu Ayi hesitated.

Zhong Kui cast a different look at her.

Liu Ayi muttered: "I remember before I fainted, the female ghost turned around and ran from that small path!" She said, pointing in the direction of the small path. The path was in the dark shadow, as if someone would jump out at any time.

"This means, the female ghost you saw wasn't floating in the air?" Zhong Kui discovered a feature.

Liu Ayi nodded immediately: "Right!"

The charcoal fire crackled and sparked, not making this place much warmer.

Xiao Wang stomped his feet with cold and complained: "Our corridors can be kept warm with curtains, why do we have to sit in this freezing place to ask questions."

"Because, the cold can make you concentrate and remember more details." The charcoal fire reflected on Zhong Kui's face, like reflecting on a snowman. The light was warm, but the face was cold.

When the charcoal fire burned out, this night talk around the stove also ended.

The time was exactly 12:00 midnight. Zhong Kui stood up and scanned these people one by one: "From now on, everyone return to their respective positions according to the division of labor on the day Hong Mei died."

"Why?" Bao Chuchu asked immediately.

Zhong Kui scanned her: "If you don't want that evil ghost to keep pestering the villa, let everyone do as I ask." Zhong Kui said, looking up at the sky, and said, "Today is the five-star alignment, a once-in-a-thousand-year opportunity, hurry up!"

Hearing Zhong Kui say this, Bao Chuchu had to order everyone to return to their respective posts that night.

Soon, the front desk received a call. The incoming room was the suite where Hong Mei stayed. The moment the front desk clerk picked up the phone, her hand holding the phone trembled uncontrollably.

Because the voice on the other end of the phone was Hong Mei's, she said: "My dear, I want a glass of red wine."

The front desk told Xiao Sun through the walkie-talkie tremblingly that she needed to send a bottle of red wine to Hong Mei's room.

Xiao Sun couldn't believe it. According to Zhong Kui's previous order, she went to the warehouse to get the same red wine as last time and sent it to Hong Mei's room.

When she knocked on the door, Hong Mei's voice actually came from the room, saying: "Come in."

Xiao Sun was so scared that the red wine in her hand almost smashed to the ground.

On the walkie-talkie, Zhong Kui was still urging her not to delay the time. Xiao Sun took out the administrator's room card and swiped it to enter the room.

I saw Hong Mei appearing in front of her wrapped in a bath towel from the suite. That face was still beautiful. What was even more terrifying was that Hong Mei looked straight at her, raised her finger and pointed at the coffee table behind her, just like last time, signaling her to put the red wine there.

However, this time Xiao Sun didn't do it. She was so scared that she fell directly to the ground, screaming heartbreakingly through the walkie-talkie. Those who heard it couldn't help but feel their livers and gallbladders trembling.

Suddenly, Hong Mei's appearance turned into a puff of smoke and disappeared from her sight. Zhong Kui walked toward her step by step through the smoke, squatted down, and stroked Xiao Sun's head: "Don't be afraid." As she said this, she stuffed the dropped walkie-talkie back into Xiao Sun's hand. "Tell them, everyone stay where they are, tell us one by one where everyone is now."

Xiao Sun looked at Zhong Kui's bloodless face, and a voice came out with difficulty from her dry throat. The first one she asked was Bao Chuchu: "Sister Bao, where are you now?"

"Me? Patrolling at the entrance of Shan Zi Er Hao Fang," Bao Chuchu said on the other end of the walkie-talkie. ===== CHAPTER 107 =====
