Chapter 168 Rental House
The old man with a white beard squinted his eyes calmly and said mysteriously, "Disciple, the most urgent thing is to save that fainted young man, don't you agree?"
Mei Linger rolled her eyes at the other person and retorted unhappily, "I want to too? But I don't even know where she is. Even if I knew, I can fly..."
huh~
The white-bearded old man picked up a corner of Mei Ling'er's clothes and took her to Gu Jiaqi's rental house in an instant.
Mei Ling'er's eyes almost popped out, her feet slipped, and she staggered half a step back.
The white-bearded old man squatted on the ground, checking on Gu Jiaqi's condition. He arched his palms and exerted his strength, and then a ball of white gas rolled between his palms and the girl's eyebrows.
"Hmm?" Gu Jiaqi, who was lying on the ground, opened his eyes slightly and gradually woke up.
After her eyes adjusted to the light in the room, she realized that there was another person in the room. She quickly sat up, hugged her knees and shrank back.
When Gu Jiaqi found out that the person was Mei Ling'er, he excitedly got up from the ground and hugged her tightly, shouting:
"Master Ling, help me! There's a ghost! There's a ghost in my house!"
Mei Ling'er took a lot of effort to pull Gu Jiaqi off her. After comforting her for a while, she asked the girl to tell her the details of the situation.
Gu Jiaqi clenched her hands, still feeling nervous. Her body would tremble slightly from time to time, but she finally told Mei Ling'er about the recent events in a fragmented manner.
Gu Jiaqi has been working in the company for several years. Recently, her leader applied for a promotion and salary increase for her. After the final approval of the boss, her salary increased by 40% compared to the original, which is a considerable amount of money for her.
After receiving her first month's salary increase, the girl looked for rental information on various online platforms and found a new residence near the company with good comprehensive conditions. The new house has north-south ventilation and is convenient for eating and drinking. It is very cost-effective for Gu Jiaqi.
She really doesn't want to squeeze into the subway every day, and the commute takes about three hours. She has now moved to a residential complex less than a ten-minute walk from her office. She wants to use the free time to do something she enjoys, or simply use it to catch up on TV series and listen to music. After all, life is about working, and experiencing as many beautiful things as possible.
The day after moving into her new home, Gu Jiaqi received a strange express delivery.
The columns on the express delivery label that should contain the sender's information are all blank.
To be safe, she called the courier company:
"Hello, is this Didong Express? I received a package, but there's no sender information. I'll give you the tracking number. Could you please help me check who sent it to me?"
Gu Jiaqi turned the package over and read the number on the delivery label: "..."
After reading it, the girl was stunned. Such an express delivery number was obviously just a joke!
Gu Jiaqi apologized a few words to the courier customer service on the other end of the phone and hung up in a hurry.
After the girl hung up the phone, she felt something was amiss. She'd just moved here, and few people knew about it. Could it be a surprise from a friend? After standing at the door and pondering for a long time, she decided to leave the package where it was.
After she finished, she quickly closed the door and hid behind it, observing the situation outside through the peephole on the door. After watching for more than ten minutes, she found nothing unusual.
Just when Gu Jiaqi was about to give up, a woman in red suddenly appeared in her sight. She felt strange and hesitated whether to open the door and confront the other party. But in the blink of an eye, the woman in red disappeared out of thin air...
Gu Jiaqi quickly opened the door and looked around the door, but didn't even see the other person's shadow.
The girl did not give up after searching in vain. She sat casually on the shiny tiles and began to look for the monitoring app on her phone.
As a single working woman who rents a house alone, the first step Gu Jiaqi took when she arrived at her new residence was to install a surveillance camera at the door.
It would have been better if he hadn't watched it. After watching the surveillance video playback at the door, Gu Jiaqi was scared and broke out in a cold sweat.
The woman in red never appeared in the video, so what had she just seen... a human or a ghost? The girl huddled in fear, not knowing where to look, wondering if the woman in red would suddenly reappear in this unfamiliar rental house the next second.
As the saying goes, what you fear is bound to come true.
Although Gu Jiaqi had tried her best to close her eyes and not look at anything, she couldn't ignore the chill on her shoulder. The girl frowned, her teeth chattering, and she turned her head away cautiously.
Ahhhhh!
A terrifying and strange face appeared in front of her.
The tongue on that face was half a meter long, dangling to the floor, with tiny white bugs swarming constantly on it. Its two eyeballs, like springs, hung alone in mid-air, five centimeters from their sockets. The pale skin was covered in cracks, and blood dripped from it drop by drop.
Gu Jiaqi was so frightened that she dared not open her eyes. She could only hear the sound of her heart beating.
After a long while, the chill on her shoulders faded away, and the girl dared to open her eyes a little.
Strangely, the ghost face in front of her disappeared. She plucked up her courage and searched everywhere in the rental house, but still found nothing.
After seeing the woman in red at the door and the ghost face in the living room, Gu Jiaqi was very sure that she must have encountered a ghost. She quickly opened the Kuaijiao app on her mobile phone, found the supernatural anchor she admired most, and clicked to enter the other party's live broadcast room.
The live broadcast room was just drawing the first lucky audience member of the night, and Gu Jiaqi, with the mentality of giving it a try, joined everyone in grabbing rose petals.
Unexpectedly, she was blessed by God and was able to grab the signature of Linglingyao's live broadcast room.
The moment she saw her own face appear in the live broadcast room, it really felt like a dream. She was so excited that she couldn't speak. After finally calming down and wanting to tell the anchor about the supernatural event that had just happened, she heard a movement from inside the room, and she couldn't help but walk over...
Everything that happened next gave her such a huge visual impact that she felt dizzy and passed out.
Gu Jiaqi didn't expect that when she woke up again, Master Ling from Linglingyao's live broadcast room appeared beside her.
She really couldn't help it, she was so scared.
The girl hugged Mei Ling'er again and sobbed softly.
