After going through some confusions, the misunderstandings was finally undone.
In this course of events, it should be said that Cheng Jia was the one who unilaterally did all kinds of tearful apology and pleas, the only difference was that he did not fall to his knees, but requested Gu Wu Ji to never leave him alone.
Gu Wu Ji felt shock upon experiencing this, is this xiao Cheng zong before him actually the same as the one who had a proud and arrogant bearing before? While always feeling that this painting’s style was really wrong.
“Forget it, it’s already very late today, and I also don’t feel like wasting my time, let’s take a look in the hospital first.” Gu Wu Ji walked into the hospital room of Cheng Jia, and only discovered that this hospital room was simply very luxurious, not knowing how much more comfortable it is compared to his home.
For a moment, he felt that it wouldn’t be bad idea to accompany Cheng Jia in the hospital.
Cheng Jia was still very frightened, but thinking that Gu-dashi would be with him, he became certain that there would be no problem, and went in while still being very scared and on the edge, with an appearance just like a daughter-in-law found a place to sit on, the line of sight didn’t dare to leave Gu Wu Ji, for fear that he would encounter ghosts if he was not careful.
Gu Wu Ji casually inquired the situation of Cheng Jia’s family.
Cheng Jia’s trust towards Gu Wu Ji had already reached the extremes, so without thinking much, he briefly revealed his family’s circumstances.
The person in charge of the Cheng family was not Cheng Jia’s father, but rather his father’s younger brother. The Cheng family’s orthodox successor is Cheng Jia’s cousin Cheng Qing, although not much older compared to Cheng Jia’s age, but the difference in their abilities were like heaven and earth, and is a completely powerful figure.
Even though Cheng Qing face was not publicly well known, but in this city, a person only needed to have a bit of power, which one has never heard his name? Which one would not have a little bit of fear towards him?
It is also because of this powerful cousin, that Cheng Jia can have the capability to be this carefree and lazy, after all, he did not need to take over the family’s matters.
Contrary to expectations of others, Cheng Jia himself was not unhappy towards this, he in the end was the type of person who loved to play since he was a child, without a little bit of interest towards studying and working, and couldn’t possibly be much better than how he was right now.
However, even though Cheng Jia had no fear towards his own father, but he was very terrified towards this older cousin, that he wouldn’t even dare to bring back his friends or classmates on weekdays.
However, this time, he had already made up his mind to bring Gu-dashi back, what’s more, Gu-dashi had said that there may be a problem at home! This must be done, otherwise his family would certainly encounter a terrible accident.
The thought of this had Cheng Jia be slightly consumed with anxiousness.
Gu Wu Ji after hearing this much, felt that Cheng Jia’s family was still quite harmonious, but it also didn’t seem like someone was persecuting him for something related to his family’s matters.
Could the reason be from the outside?
“Think about it, have you never really encountered strange things at home?” Gu Wu Ji stated guiding him patiently and carefully, “Or something that made you feel uncomfortable?”
Cheng Jia still had a vacant expression at first, but soon after wrinkled his brow, then he suddenly widened his eyes, “I remember……it’s a mirror!”
“En?” Gu Wu Ji looked over.
“In fact, I actually felt something a little off before, it wasn’t known how but the mirror had previously cracked by itself, after changing it to a new one, there was always something strange when looking at the mirror……but I didn’t dwell too much about it before.” Cheng Jia said, “Could it be that there is something wrong with the mirror?”
“Very possible.” Gu Wu Ji stated.
Cheng Jia’s complexion changed, and immediately thought of calling people to throw the mirror away, but was also afraid that this might trigger something, so held back his impulse.
“But after I came into the hospital, I never had the chance to look at the mirror in the house again, how was I still able to encounter this kind of situations?”
“En, this ah, was there any strange person who came to see you?”
“This, there are too many people, I also didn’t think too much about it……” Cheng Jia was after all, the second young master of the Cheng family, when something bad happened, everyone, one after the other must conscientiously come to visit, and couldn’t wait to express their camaraderie in all aspects, apart from Xu Ming Jun who has already returned to his hometown, almost all his other acquaintances came.
Gu Wu Ji looked around inside the room, and couldn’t help but notice that this place had a very heavy yin energy, just like there was something a bit off here.
He then immediately opted to use his skill in the end, randomly summoning a low level ghost from the surrounding area.
A black figure wearing the hospital’s gown appeared from out of thin air in the room, Cheng Jia was so frightened that he shrank back into the chair, seeing that ghost have the look of being employed by Gu Wu Ji, made the admiration in his heart increase, Gu-dashi’s ability was already this excellent, he must absolutely hug the other person’s thigh!
“Where is the problem in this room?” Gu Wu Ji directly and plainly started speaking, this kind of thing was something he also did not understand very much, letting the ghosts that had always been staying here look for it will make the matter easier.
This was originally only a low level ghost with a bit of consciousness, hearing Gu Wu Ji’s words, it immediately floated towards a spot, the hand at once fell on top the fruit basket that was arranged and placed beside the cupboard.
“Is it here?”
The ghost nodded, the figure soon after disappeared without a trace.
Gu Wu Ji went forward to rummage through it, then finally found a piece of paper at the bottom of the fruit basket, it appeared to be very ordinary, there was also nothing written on it, if it had been seen by others, it is estimated that it would be treated as trash and would be directly thrown into the trash can.
However, if it was carefully examined, only then would the paper be found to be full of resentment, that gives the people some kind of familiar feelings, just like that faceless female ghost nurse that had been previously encountered……could this unexpectedly be from the female ghost or from the outside?
The problem in here was precisely created by this strange piece of paper, but who could have actually placed it here in the end?
[The host has obtained a special item: a paper of medical record carrying resentment.
Carrying this might possibly be cursed by ghosts, hiding a piece of secret, only undoing it will completely reveal the truth, in order to completely turn it into a prop that the host can use. It is recommended for the host to place it in a safe place in case of any eventualities.]
“En? This paper piece is a paper of medical records? I didn’t expect to actually obtain a prop outside the copy, but, where could a safe place be?” Gu Wu Ji pondered for a moment, then immediately placed the paper of medical record in his body.
Where else could be more safer than with him?
As for whatever curse, Gu Wuji simply didn’t care about it at all, how much worse could it be compared to the his current situation?
“Gu-dashi, is it this thing?” Cheng Jia had already came closer, looking towards the fruit basket, and suddenly came to think about it, “This was brought this morning, Gu-dashi, this is from Huang Dao who’s involved in your film that delivered it when he came to see me! Could it be him who wanted to harm me?”
“This thing ah……what did you do to Huang Dao? That made him resent you this much?” Gu Wuji looked over with a suspicious gaze, the mind began to think over what Cheng Jia had done to incur the wrath and the resentment of the person, but on the set the director has always been particularly attentive towards Chen Jia, if there was no problem then why would he want to do something towards him?
“Gu-dashi! I swear I didn’t do anything wrong! I only gave them a movie investment asking to add a little part nothing else! That much money is enough to make another movie! This is also unlikely to make me be hated this much, ah!” Cheng Jia cannot help but swear to the heavens.
“Perhaps this may really not be him, he may have only been used by other people.”
After all, it would make sense that this piece of medical record was not something that an average person can get their hands on, besides even if Huang Dao was influential, it was also impossible for that mirror in Cheng Jia’s home to be his doing, right?
Cheng Jia felt a chill run all over his body, realizing that he did not know who had wanted to harm his life, and had almost succeeded in doing it twice, if Gu-dashi had not been there……
Gu Wuji thought a bit, then said to Cheng Jia: “En…… Tomorrow just happens to be the movie’s wrap up party, you should come with me to have a look. Of course, if you have some other business then you can forget about what I said.”
Cheng Jia immediately agreed, how can he possibly refuse! With the haunting problems still unresolved up to present, he simply didn’t have any means to return to his normal life, he will absolutely do whatever Gu Wuji wants.
“Alright, then let’s sleep now.”
Gu Wuji after speaking so immediately laid down on the bed, he had been unable to rest after coming out from the copy, as he without stopping to take a break ran to help Cheng Jia deal with his matters, and was now mentally exhausted.
“Gu-dashi? Will you sleep like that?” Cheng Jia sported a silly expression.
“Oh, if your bothered about it I can sleep on the sofa.” Gu Wuji after considering it a moment said so.
“No!” Cheng Jia hurriedly said: “I was just thinking about the things that had happened here just moment ago, we are now……” remembering the things that had just happened a moment ago, he still felt a chill run down his spine, even more so when the atmosphere in this hospital room can make a person feel cold.
“Well, if you still don’t want to sleep, then look into what happened to this hospital before, and give it to me tomorrow morning, for me to check.” Completing his instructions, Gu Wuji immediately fell asleep once his head made contact with the pillow.
“???”
Cheng Jia with a dumbfounded expression looked at Gu Wuji who was showing a peaceful sleeping appearance, he suddenly felt that his body carried a great responsibility.
T-This must be a test that Gu-dashi has given him! He's definitely going to complete it perfectly!
-----
In a villa up on the mountain, a luxurious villa was situated at the highest point, and was precisely where the Cheng family’s main house was located.
“What did Cheng Jia do again?”
A handsome young man wearing a black shirt sits in the private study, he appeared somewhat nonchalant, but had a naturally powerful air that was difficult to conceal.
Even though, Cheng Qing, on the surface was only the successor of the Cheng family, but as a matter of fact, almost everything in the Cheng family was under his control.
The butler at the side respectfully started speaking, “Cheng Jia-shaoye* said that he couldn’t wait to leave the haunted hospital, and will bring Gu-dashi to come over the house tomorrow.”
*young master
Cheng Qing gave him an indifferent glance, “What do you think?”
“Cheng Jia-shaoye……in the end is still too young, that Gu-dashi, is reportedly said to be a small-scale actor that he got acquainted with in the set.” The butler said with much vagueness, but had in fact already expressed his disapproval towards Cheng Jia
Those able people who actually have means, why would they still proceed to be an actor? Moreover, still being able to get acquainted with Cheng Jia in the middle of the set, it would be strange not to have any problems.
Not to mention, what haunted? If it was really haunted, how could Cheng Jia still be alive and kicking until now? It was estimated that he had been swindled using the rivers and lakes method by this so called Gu-dashi, right?
“En.” Cheng Qing faintly responded, in the end no one was also able to see what his mood was towards this matter.
“Da shaoye*, will you allow Cheng Jia-shaoye to bring a person back?” the butler inquired, concerned that Cheng Jia would bring someone a little dubious back that will make Cheng Qing annoyed.
*eldest young master
“No need.” Cheng Qing said: “Since he has already considered it, then let him do it, I actually want to see, what kind of person this Gu-dashi is after all.”
…………
……
At this moment, inside Cheng Jia’s room, in the mirror hanging on the wall, a dark shadow faintly emerged.
It reached out and touched the surface of the mirror, some part of it’s body had slowly come out of that extension, and that extended part of the dark shadow turned into a human’s finger.
Only, after the extended hand had reached a certain extent, it was just like being generally stuck, the dark shadow was no longer capable of extending for even a tiny bit.
With great unwillingness, the shadow once again retracted into the mirror.
This strange scene went unnoticed by anyone.
