Chapter 204: Haunted House Extra (V)

Xiao Lan, who was confused, said goodbye to Master Zhang and headed for his house.

As she was about to open the door, she heard the sound of the lock opening next door.

The door is opened by a young girl with green dyed hair.

Xiao Lan was a bit confused, and the girl was also confused when she saw Xiao Lan.

They stared at each other for a few seconds, and the girl said, "You're new to 712, aren't you?"

Xiao Lan said, "Hello, my name is Xiao Lan, I just moved here last week."

The young girl said, "Hello my name is Di Yifugui, I live here with a friend and I just returned yesterday."

Hearing her mention her friend who lives with her, Xiao Lan said, "Is your friend Taidi Wang the one who lives with you? He showed me around when I first moved in, and I'd like to take you to dinner to thank you if I get a chance."

But Di Yifugui looked confused: "Wang Taidi? Who's that?"

Xiao Lan was also puzzled: "He said he lived here, with his brother."

Di Yifugui shook her head, "No, we are two girls who share a room together, and have been living here for over a year."

She turned her head and shouted into the room, "Xiao He, do you know Wang Taidi?"

Another girl's voice came from inside the house, "Who's that? I don't know."

Di Yifugui looks at Xiao Lan: "You may have misheard, he may not live on this floor."

After saying goodbye to Di Yifugui, Xiao Lan was even more confused.

He had watched Wang Taidi enter the house that day, so why would Di Yifugui say he didn't live here?

Wait ......

He did see Wang Taidi enter the house that day, but he didn't see him open the door.

The door was open, and he only saw Wang Taidi walk in, not even his brother, as he put it.

In the light of his own experience with a ghost, is it possible that Wang Taidi is not human either?

Xiao Lan pushed open the door of her house with her head full of mush.

Then he flung himself on the sofa.

He had slept here for the past few days, and although he had cleaned the bedroom area, he hadn't slept in that bed.

After all, this is the bed that belonged to the original occupant, and the ...... family hasn't left yet.

The ghosts in the house hadn't moved in the past few days, as if they didn't exist, but with the experience of coming back from the dead under the female ghost, Xiao Lan would never feel that there were no ghosts in the world again.

Slumped on the sofa for a while in dishevelment.

It was still early and the house had not yet been completely cleaned, so Xiao Lan got up and continued to clean.

After a few days of intermittent cleaning, the whole room is now much cleaner.

But there are still some areas left to be cleaned, such as the bookcase, which is a pain to clean and will not be used for a while.

Xiao Lan had time today, so he set about tidying up his bookcase.

He casually pokes on the TV as a bgm for his labour.

The TV in the room is ten years old, and it's a miracle that it's still working after all this time.

These open bookcases are quite prone to dust accumulation.

Xiao Lan listens to the TV news as she takes one of the books off the bookcase, wipes the dust off the top and then wipes the dust from each compartment as well.

After a while, Xiao Lan's work group on her mobile phone was suddenly inundated with messages.

It's strange, everyone usually pretends to be dead as much as possible at the end of the day, fearing that they will be called by the leader to work overtime after making some noise.

What's going on today? Has everyone let themselves go?

Xiao Lan wiped his hands and picked up his phone to see hundreds of unread messages.

After a cursory glance, it turned out that someone had posted the video of his boss killing someone on the Internet, and it had gotten a high number of hits.

Coupled with today's incident of the boss jumping off a building, it was a big, fragrant, sweet and shocking melon.

It was later revealed that almost at the same time as the boss jumped, a titular consultant of the company also died, in exactly the same manner as the boss.

And this man had the name of a master of metaphysics, and things suddenly became metaphysical.

Xiao Lan took a look at this consultant's photo, wasn't this the old man who gave him the interview? This guy was really no good!

It seemed that the whole incident had a lot to do with him too, and perhaps he was the one behind the scenes planning it.

I guess these two men didn't expect that not only did they not succeed in making Xiao Lan a scapegoat, but they were both cleaned up by the female ghost together.

The incident has now attracted so much attention that it has put the company in the limelight and not only has the share price plummeted, but the police have to come to the door to investigate the killing.

It was at this critical time that the personnel office came out with a holiday notice.

This made colleagues feel bad, and they wailed, feeling that their jobs might not be saved.

Xiao Lan also feels helpless.

The job he had just gotten was a deadly job, and he had managed to survive, only to have the company go cold.

How can people be so unlucky.

At that moment, Xiao Lan's mobile phone rang again, and it was her mother calling.

On the other end of the line, her voice was still gentle: "Lanlan, how's work going?"

Xiao Lan thought about his recent bad luck and said stiffly, "It's okay ......"

Mum sensed something: "Something must have happened to you."

Xiao Lan: "......"

Mum didn't ask too many questions, "There are always a lot of things that don't go your way on your first job, it's always a bit of a headache, are you coping with it so far?"

"Yes, I'm fine." Xiao Lan thought, "At least it's going well.

I didn't expect my mother to make a sudden turn of phrase: "If you can't, come back and inherit the company, let your father retire early to make room for you, he has long wanted to go on outdoor adventures with his friends anyway."

Xiao Lan: "...... I still want to work on it."

Wen Qi on the other end of the phone sighed. Children always have to be beaten by society in order to grow up.

Mum said, "Go on then, and take care not to get too tired, you know you've been a child who reports good news but not bad."

Xiao Lan was a bit embarrassed: "I have no ......"

Mother skillfully lifted her child's bottom: "I still remember when you were little you once ran away to someone else's house and ended up getting stuck in a tree, leaving you with bruises all over your body. The brother of that family bandaged your wounds, and later he sent you back himself, only for you to come back and act as if you were fine.

Xiao Lan feels a bit embarrassed about how he still has the honorable deed of getting stuck in a tree back in the day ......

As he cleaned the bookcase he asked, "When was that, why don't I remember?"

Mum thought about it, "About six years old, when we were out playing. Oh yes, that place wasn't far from your current city then, and I wonder how that family is doing, I should go and say hello."

Xiao Lan said, "Then tell me about it, I'll go and see if I have time."

Mum gave an address and then said, "I remember that the family's name was Fei, but I can't remember the name of the kid who helped you, I just remember that he was quite good looking, I think you had a photo together at that time, let me look for it ......"

Xiao Lan heard the sound of footsteps on the other end of the phone.

Not long afterwards, a photo was sent to his phone via WeChat.

The photo shows a Little Xiao child and a teenager of about 15 or 16.

The younger one is, of course, Xiao Lan himself, and the other one is the older brother that his mother said he had. In the photo he is holding the teenager's hand and smiling with his white teeth, and the teenager is also smiling for the camera.

Xiao Lan looks at the teenager in the photo, who has delicate eyebrows and an elegant air all over his body.

Although he is still a teenager and his silhouette has not fully grown, he can already foresee that he should be very handsome in the future.

But ...... why does this teenager look a bit familiar?

There was a smile in Mum's tone, "Look how tightly you've got hold of people, you're all smiles."

Xiao Lan continued to chat with her mother as she cleaned.

Suddenly, Xiao Lan sees a rectangular piece of paper in the corner of a bookcase.

He took it out and saw that it was a photograph, which had become damp and a little faded.

But it could still be seen that the background was in this room, and in the photograph was a man quietly reading a book, the sunlight pouring over him, giving the whole picture a quiet, yearning look.

But Xiao Lan felt a chill run down his back.

Because the person in the photo he had seen only yesterday was -

Fei Luo.

Why does he keep running into Fei Luo?

Why does Fei Luo say he has lived here for a long time?

Why does Mr. Zhang say that there is no one named Fei Luo living here?

Why did Fei Luo's photo appear in a house that hadn't been lived in for ten years, and why had the whole person not changed at all in ten years?

Then compare the faces in the two photos.

The answer is crying out to be found ......

Xiao Lan felt his throat tighten a bit and he asked his mother on the other end of the phone, "Mom, is that brother ...... called ...... Fei Luo ."

Mum said, "Well ...... seems to be called Fei Luo, why do you still remember him?"

Xiao Lan doesn't remember what was said afterwards.

He hurriedly said goodbye to his mother and then hung up the phone.

Xiao cupped the phone and fell into deep thought, his whole body like a still statue.

The sun is sinking and night covers the city.

The television, which had been playing as a background sound, suddenly appeared as a murmur.

Xiao Lan turned his head to see the TV's original picture distorted and pulled haphazardly into a strange, bizarre appearance, eventually turning into a snowflake.

It's a classic scene from a horror movie, I never thought I'd catch it live ......

"Scared you?" A low, melodious male voice suddenly sounded behind Xiao Lan.

Xiao Lan turned his head to see Fei Luo sitting leisurely on the sofa, still wearing the same black outfit and with the right amount of smile on his face.

Xiao Lan looked at the gate, which was properly closed and showed no sign of being opened.

Although he knew who the other man was, Xiao Lan didn't feel too scared.

For one thing, the man was so handsome even as a ghost, and for another, he had been saved twice by the other man from a female ghost, plus the time when he was a child, that was three times.

It can simply be called a life-saving gift that can not be repaid, but only with the body ...... ah shucks.

Xiao Lan answered truthfully, "A little, but not too much, after all, you saved my life three times."

Fei Luo laughed lowly, "Actually, it was four times."

Xiao Lan was puzzled, where did the other time come from?

Meeting Xiao Lan's puzzled gaze, Fei Luo explained, "You weren't browsing the web pages of the yang world, every single one of them was a murderous house.

Xiao Lan had a lump in his throat, so no matter which one he chose at the time, he would have been 100% in a haunted house?

Fei Luo continues, "Originally I didn't want to bother, but it turned out that you looked a bit familiar, and it just so happened that my house was in the right location, so I stepped in to help you out a bit and squashed the news about the other guys."

Xiao Lan said, "Thanks ......"

He owed Fei Luo a great deal of money.

Suddenly he was a little sad that such a good man had died so long ago.

Xiao Lan looked at Fei Luo: "This may be a bit offensive to ask, you don't have to tell me if you don't want to answer, how did you ...... that?"

Fei Luo didn't seem to mind very much: "I had some problems with my twin brother, one day he killed me and left the flat disguised as me, because I lived alone before, so the residents took him for me and no one suspected."

Xiao Lan frowned, "Where is he?"

Fei Luo gave him a look, "No need to be angry, I sorted him out later, then felt bored and had nowhere to go, so I came back here."

Xiao Lan: "......"

If you have a grudge, you'll settle it yourself, and you won't harm the innocent.

I wish I could drag the female ghost Sister Xiao over here to listen to the big brother's lecture.

Xiao Lan says: "Will it bother you if I live here all the time?"

Fei Luo: "No, I'm bored by myself, I can read all the books on the bookcase by heart, and I can't clean the house when it's dirty, so it's more fun when you're here."

Xiao Lan: "What about ...... rent, I probably won't get my salary this month."

The boss died just after joining the company, and the internship job is most likely gone.

"You can just stay here for now, it's the safest place to be with me." Fei Luo looked at him with a smile and said, "You can also sleep on the bed, I don't need to sleep anyway."

Xiao Lan also smiled, "Then I'm sorry to bother you, please take care of me in the future."

Living in a haunted house, the workplace rookie begins his job search again.

Between his magical profession and his impressive record of killing his boss and bringing the company to the brink of collapse within a week of joining, the process could be a long one.
