The Taste of Ghosts in the World

Another morning, the weird alarm rang for several minutes before Qi Mu got up lazily, went to the bathroom to wash up, and then came out again, finally fully awake when he saw the full-length mirror.

"That ghost outside! Clean up the lipstick within today, or you will be kicked out!"

After a while, the dead ghost floated in, with a simple smile on his face, and quickly wiped the writing on the mirror with the corner of his clothes.His clothes were covered with blood from the day he died, and after wiping it off like this, the blood smeared onto the mirror.

"Don't wipe it with that, get a rag."

"No, I'm a ghost, so I can't touch those things."

Just now I saw that he wiped the mirror very naturally, but he forgot that ghosts cannot touch the objects in the yang world, only the mirror is an exception, because it is the passage connecting the underworld and the yang world.

Sighing resignedly, "Forget it, I'll take care of it myself." Qi Mu walked out of the bedroom, filled up the bowl for Dahei, and Dahei rubbed his feet affectionately.

Seeing Qi Mu pick up his schoolbag, the dead ghost leaned over and asked, "Are you going to school? When my daughter went to school, she would get up before six o'clock every day. Now it's seven o'clock. Are you afraid of being late?"

"The school is very close to here." Qi Mu answered him casually, and then said to Dahei: "Dahei, take a good look at the house." After saying that, he went out.

Immediately after, a sentence came from behind: "Dahei, take good care of your house."

Qi Mu turned around and saw a bloody head protruding from the door that had just been closed, followed by an equally horrific body.

"Hey, I have nothing to do anyway, so I'll accompany you to class."

Qi Mu raised his legs and left, "Dahei is very lonely, you stay with him."

The dead ghost was horrified: "That won't work, Dahei will eat ghosts!"

"That's what I was joking about."

"...Let me just say, I don't care if I eat ghosts."

"It's mainly because it's hard to eat. Dahei usually just shreds it and never eats it."

……

When the bell rang for the end of get out of class, Qi Mu sleepily got up from the table and stretched his waist. The dead ghost floated around him, and said excitedly: "I have been in elementary school for a few years, and I never thought I could come to the classroom. I really miss it!"

Qi Mu half-covered his mouth, pretended to yawn and whispered to him, "Can your yearning be a little more static?"

At this time, he was patted on the shoulder, and Qi Mu turned his head to see that it was Fang Ji, one of his few friends in school.

But this "friend" is Fang Ji's self-appointed, most of the time Qi Mu just regards him as a familiar classmate.

"Qi Mu, you slept again! What did you do last night?"

"Nothing...it's late to play games." Qi Mu rubbed his eyes and said.

"Playing so high again?" Fang Ji couldn't hide his envious look, and said: "It's our group today, you must have forgotten it?" He said, pointing to the blackboard.

Qi Mu raised his eyes to look, and saw the dead ghost standing in front of him impartially, his sight was completely blocked.

Looking directly in the direction of the blackboard, Qi Mu narrowed his eyes and asked Fang Ji calmly, "What is it?"

Fang Ji was stunned for a moment, and then he said clearly: "Are you short-sighted, kid? You don't even need glasses. There is a notice on the blackboard. We are responsible for the blackboard newspaper. We will check it tomorrow. You can't run away when you start work after school!" "

After he finished speaking, he left. Qi Mu looked at the dead ghost in front of him, thinking about whether he should change to another place for static, but he hesitated for a while, then fell asleep on the table again.

As soon as the teacher announced that school was over, Qi Mu picked up his schoolbag and hurried out, but was stopped by Fang Ji.

"I knew you would run! Fortunately, I am fast enough."

He really forgot...

So Qi Mu had no choice but to stay, and was released after finishing the blackboard newspaper under Fang Ji's supervision.

Walking out of the school, it was already dark outside, Qi Mu complained: "It's so late, I don't know if Dahei starved to death..."

"No, no! You won't die after starving for a meal or two." The Killing Ghost said in relief.

Qi Mu glanced at him, "Are you still there?"

"Hehe." Seeing that he was in a bad mood, the dead ghost could only smile foolishly.

The way back would inevitably pass through Longhu Square, Qi Mu hurried home, he was walking very fast, but suddenly stopped.

In the gazebo not far away, there were several old people who were digesting after meals, and students who were about to go to self-study in twos and threes passed through the middle, but the problem was not here, but the woman standing on the path outside the pavilion.

Look around, there is no other way, it seems that there is no way around.

The dead ghost was very puzzled by his sudden stop, and flew around him twice before remembering to follow his gaze, wondering, "Whose family's daughter is that? Do you know her?"

Qi Mu squeezed out a sentence, "I'm not that good at recognizing people without looking at them."

"That's right... It's really inconvenient to not have a head." The dead ghost acted suddenly enlightened.

And that's the biggest problem! ! !

Qi Mu desperately suppressed the urge to yell at the dead ghost, and calmed down to analyze the current situation—now there is a female ghost standing in front, and that female ghost has no head, it is very likely that it is the headless female corpse mentioned in yesterday's news, The point is that the road she was standing on was the only shortcut home.

How to do?

Qi Mu really didn't want to take a long way to see that those who walked past her were unharmed, so he decided to just walk past her as if nothing had happened.

Originally, the matter was very clear, the decision was simple and efficient, but Qi Mu missed a fatal factor - he forgot that he was carrying an illiterate uncle who was just looking for trouble.

When he walked past the headless female ghost holding his breath, the dead ghost greeted her enthusiastically: "Girl, what are you doing here alone?"

The headless female ghost looked at them, but of course she just turned around and made a movement similar to looking at them. The moment the half of her neck, which was bloody and bloody and exposed blood vessels and nerves, ran into Qi Mu's eyes, his heart stopped. one second.

Do you want to run?As soon as this idea came up, Qi Mu practiced it unswervingly. He sprinted across the gazebo at a speed of [-] meters. Seeing that half of your body is covered in blood, it must hurt more than being hit by a car."

Qi Mu looked back, the breath stuck in his throat and he almost died. The headless female ghost was standing behind him, and the dead ghost was still having a one-sided conversation with her.

Why did everyone follow him without responding? !

Obviously it's too late to think about this question now, Qi Mu can only ask the dead ghost: "How to send her back?"

The dead ghost said: "I think she must have been killed by someone, won't you help her?"

"If all the ghosts in the world wanted me to help, I would be a god."

"But didn't you help me..."

"I only promise to help you call the police." Qi Mu reminded him.

"That is also helping! Look at a girl who is alone and can't even speak, how pitiful!"

"No matter how pitiful it is, it's none of my business, and I don't know her." Although I don't discriminate against ghosts, I don't intend to get too close to them, just like there are good people and bad people among living people, and the quality of ghosts is also uneven. Avoid it if you can, the thing he taboos the most is "causing trouble".

So Qi Muwu raised his legs and walked forward, but he soon found sadly that when he took a step, the female ghost also took a step, keeping a distance of one meter behind him, it seemed that he was following him.

The dead ghost took the opportunity to persuade: "The first time is a stranger and the second time is acquaintance, let's talk to her, and then we will get to know each other."

"Speak... are you sure?" Qi Mu looked at the female ghost's empty neck.

The dead ghost touched his head and said: "Get along with each other... Although she can't speak, she can understand what I say, and... I think she looks familiar."

"Familiar? Which part?"

The dead ghost carefully examined it again, "Status?"

Qi Mu turned around and left, everyone could tell that it was a woman from her figure.

"Hey, don't go!" The Killer hurriedly caught up, "Let her come with us..."

"You can take it with you if you want, as long as it doesn't affect me."

"Ah, thank you." The dead ghost floated happily to the back, and Qi Mu heard him say: "Girl, uncle will take you to see at home."

Qi Mu had a deeper understanding of his familiarity.

Returning home in such a "dangerous" way, as soon as Dahei saw Qi Mu, he drooled and pounced on him. After eating and drinking enough, he found that there was an extra ghost in the house, and immediately growled at the headless female ghost warily.

The dead ghost hurriedly said: "Dahei, stop screaming, you will scare the big girl!"

Dahei screamed even more fiercely.

"Dahei, come here." As soon as Qi Mu said, Dahei quietly crawled to his feet and lay down on his stomach.

The dead ghost comforted the headless female ghost, and then asked her: "Girl, what are you going to do next?"

The headless female ghost stood quietly for a long time, just when Qi Mu thought she would not respond, she suddenly raised her finger to point to the position of her head.

Qi Mu found a piece of paper and a pen from his schoolbag, and then took out a lighter, and simply lit the paper and pen, and burned them.

A moment later, the pen and paper appeared out of thin air in the headless female ghost's hand.

"Can't speak, can you write?" Qi Mu thought that even a working girl should be able to write basic characters, and even an illiterate girl can recognize several characters.

Sure enough, the female ghost picked up a brush and wrote "Yes" on the paper.

Qi Mu asked again: "What do you want to do now?"

The female ghost wrote: Find something.

"Looking for what?"

head.

……

One person, one ghost and one dog were quiet for a long time before Qi Mu said, "How did you die?"

do not know.

have no idea?Die too fast?

The female ghost added: Because there is no head.

"How much do you remember about your life? For example, what is your name and where do you live?"

do not remember.

Qi Mu felt more and more that he had found a big trouble, so he asked her with a headache, "Why did you follow me?"

This time the female ghost took a long time to write. I don’t know if it’s because she has no eyes. Qi Mu looked at the string of words that almost overlapped, and it took a lot of effort to recognize what she wrote: because you and other people No, you can see me.

A bad premonition suddenly rose in Qi Mu's heart, "You want me to find your job for you?"

Correct.

Reluctantly stroking Dahei's back hair, Qi Mu secretly reflected whether he had been too unlucky recently and should go to a temple to worship...

The dead ghost floated above his head and persuaded: "Let's help her, it's too miserable to die without a whole body."

Qi Mu spread his hands and said, "Even if I want to help, I can't find her head. I have neither superpower nor reasoning ability. Her case is already under investigation by the police. We can only hope that they will catch the criminal. Then is the only clue."

The dead ghost said: "That's her head, there will always be a way to feel it."

"You have also seen that she has no head and doesn't know anything. At best, she is a moving soul. I can't help you with this. If you want to help, you can find a way by yourself." Qi Mu got up and went back to the room, "Go tomorrow Take a look at your daughter's residence, if you still haven't come back, I'll help you call the police tomorrow, and leave the rest to the police."

The dead ghost followed and said, "Do you trust the police that much? I don't believe it. They can't even find the person who killed me. What's the use of calling the police?"

"I don't believe it either, but at least the police are much more useful than me."

"I trust you more than the police!"

This is the second time he said that he believed in himself, and Qi Mu said puzzledly, "What do you believe in me?"

Killing Ghost said: "You can see us, but you won't harm us."

"In this world, there are many ordinary people who don't want to harm others or be harmed by others."

"You have a good heart and will really think about us."

Qi Mu squinted at him, "Where did you see that?"

The dead ghost muttered for a long time before saying: "...feeling."

"An uncle shouldn't play with the sixth sense like a woman." Qi Mu changed into his pajamas, saw that he was still standing there, and said, "If you're really free, go see it tonight, and I can call the police tomorrow morning. "

"I want to take that girl back to the square to have a look, maybe I can find it."

Qi Mu nodded, "Go out at night and be careful not to be bullied by evil spirits."

The dead ghost floated out slowly.
