This "Hi" was filled with a great sense of cold humor.
People often think that ghosts carry great resentment and a kind of hysterical bitterness and hatred. This is a kind of stereotype of people.
Zhou Ze used to think so too, until he himself became a ghost.
What was the difference between ghosts and humans?
In terms of evil thoughts,
Humans knew the horror of ghosts, and ghosts knew the viciousness of human hearts;
In other aspects,
Ghosts came from humans. In many aspects, whether it was personality or senses, they actually had a deep sense of empathy with humans.
The only difference was that most of the time, ghosts were a little similar to "Desperadoes" and "Fugitives". It was very difficult for them to stay in the human world for too long. Even if there were some unexpected situations and they did not go to hell, the ghost messengers would not discover them for the time being. However, living in the human world was more like rats hiding in the sewers.
Humans were afraid of ghosts, but in this world, there were too many things that could harm and restrain ghosts.
For example, the old priest's crotch.
Zhou Ze reached out to touch his head and yawned. The depression he had felt last night seemed to have dissipated a lot. As someone who had walked the Yellow Springs Road, there was nothing he could not let go of.
It was natural that he wanted to go back, return to his own body, and return to his original life.
But now that he had not found a way, there was no need to be too conflicted and nervous.
"Can you tell me now who killed you?" Zhou Ze asked.
The family of three was still looking at him,
Then..,
Silence.
The feeling of being "Stared at" by three headless people was really not good.
Even boss Zhou felt a little uncomfortable now.
"Ding Dong..."
Beside Zhou Ze, there was the crisp sound of a spoon hitting a plate. Then, Zhou Ze turned around and saw a delicate and pretty young girl sitting next to him, as if she was about to eat.
The young girl turned around and glanced at Zhou Ze. Oh, no, she was actually looking at the family of three over there and nodded gently at them.
Well..,
Zhou Ze felt a little sad and haggard,
It turned out that she was greeting someone through him, and he had misunderstood her. It was indeed a little awkward.
Then..,
The family of three sat up straight again and stared at the food in front of them in a daze.
The young girl ate slowly. She ate very elegantly, not in the kind of cramped and overly refined manner. In fact, she ate very quickly, but it reflected a special temperament.
Zhou Ze simply watched the girl eat.
Fortunately, the old priest and old Xu were still anxious because Zhou Ze had not woken up for a long time. They did not think about coming over to take a look through the hot spring pool again. Otherwise, if they came over and saw Zhou Ze staring at the girl eating as if nothing had happened, they might really get sick from anger.
After the girl finished her meal, she drank the last bit of milk in the cup and wiped her mouth with a napkin. Then, she got up and prepared to leave.
Zhou Ze also stood up and followed her, like a man tailing her.
It was not that Zhou Ze had taken a fancy to her. In this environment and in this state, boss Zhou would not fall to such an extent. It was because in Zhou Ze's eyes, this girl was very different from the other people in the restaurant.
Although the other diners in the restaurant could eat, their movements were no different from the headless family of three.
Numb.
Dead silence.
It had the air of an old lady's foot wrapping cloth.
However, this girl had an aura of life. She seemed to be the same as him. In this environment, she had a higher degree of … freedom than others.
Zhou Ze followed her out of the restaurant. What surprised Zhou Ze was that he and she were walking through a glass corridor.
This was like a honeycomb. It was complicated, and every bee had its own place.
Zhou Ze continued to follow behind the girl. The two of them walked slowly, one in front and one behind.
As they walked, the girl stopped. It was only now that she noticed Zhou Ze.
The girl turned her head and smiled at Zhou Ze. It was a very pure smile.
"Hello, Jiwa." (Hello)
The girl bowed slightly to Zhou Ze.
Japanese?
Zhou Ze's first reaction was to think of his own Spiderman.
"Hello."
Zhou Ze replied.
Zhou Ze still understood this kind of simple Japanese, but he still responded in Chinese.
"Hello," the girl replied in Chinese again.
Then, the girl continued to walk forward, and Zhou Ze continued to follow behind.
The exchange and greeting just now seemed to be more like an insignificant interlude, like a stone thrown into a calm lake. After causing ripples, it quickly returned to calmness.
When they reached the lawn in front of the room, Zhou Ze saw the girl turn in another direction.
It turned out that..,
Was a neighbor.
The layout of this hot spring villa hotel was like this. A single villa was divided into two, and everyone shared a wall.
Because of this, the girl and Zhou Ze's "Walking" route was explained. However, at this point, everyone had to go their separate ways. Zhou Ze also tried to walk in the girl's direction, but he was blocked by a thin layer of glass.
Giving up struggling, Zhou Ze returned to his room.
He sat down in the living room and lit a cigarette. Zhou Ze stood up again and walked to the picture frame to take a look. In the mirror, he was still lying on the sofa. The old priest was sitting next to him and dozing off. Xu Qinglang was on the phone beside him, as if he was contacting someone.
Zhou Ze was probably contacting Bai Yingying in the bookstore, or contacting the little loli. After all, he could not wake up in reality no matter how hard he tried. Old Xu and the others could not understand and deal with it.
The feeling of being cared for was not bad. Of course, the feeling of peeping was also very good.
Zhou Ze stretched and shook off the ash from his cigarette. At that moment, the sound of water being released came from the hot spring pool next door.
The courtyard was actually divided into two. There was a hot spring pool on each side, and the sound of water being released was loud enough to be heard by the next door.
Zhou Ze walked into the courtyard and sat down on the rattan chair.
There was nothing he could do about it. In the world in the mirror, you were lonely, equivalent to a prisoner. You could only follow a specific route to the cafeteria on time to eat and then return to your cage.
Of course, he could also peep at what Xu Qinglang and the others were doing in reality through the mirror, but it was not like he was watching that kind of movie. It was fine to just watch the scene without any sound, but right now, he could only peep but not communicate. He could only stand by the side and worry. It was really boring.
Now that he had a neighbor next door, it was not bad to listen to her movements. Of course, if this neighbor was a burly fatty, Zhou Ze would probably not be interested.
The water was quickly filled. Zhou Ze heard footsteps and even the rustling sound of clothes being taken off.
It was always a pity to only be able to listen and not see. Moreover, with the reason that he did not miss a single clue, boss Zhou moved the rattan chair under the wall and stood there.
The wall was also separated by a thin layer of glass, making it impossible to enter or exit. However, this did not stop you from looking at it. This thin layer of glass was more like a thin layer of code, adding a hazy sense of beauty to the scene. Compared to the simple and crude ones, it was more admirable … Oh, no, more worthy of research.
Zhou Ze held a cigarette in one hand and grabbed the wall with the other as he looked inside.
The girl had already walked into the hot spring pool. Then, she began to sing. She sang a lyrical Japanese song. Zhou Ze did not understand the lyrics, but he felt that it was not bad. It was quite nice to listen to.
Slowly, Zhou Ze turned around and did not continue to look in. Instead, he leaned his back against the wall.
For some reason, Zhou Ze heard a sense of loneliness from the girl's singing. It was not the kind of loneliness that came from having an affair, but the loneliness of being detained here for a long time.
Zhou Ze even thought that perhaps the other people in the restaurant were the same as him at the beginning. They wanted to go out, wanted to doubt, wanted to do something, but slowly, they were tortured by this kind of cage life day after day until they became numb and became like the family of three.
Himself..,
Would there be such a day?
"Hualala..."
After the girl finished singing, she started to take a shower. She wiped her body with a towel. Zhou Ze could hear the sound of water and even the girl's breathing.
Because the distance was too close, the hot spring pools on both sides were actually built against the walls, so the girl and Zhou Ze were really separated by a wall.
"What's your name?" Zhou Ze asked.
A pervert who had peeped at someone taking a bath spoke openly and asked for her name.
"Tsukino Saori."
The girl replied.
She had long noticed Zhou Ze's peeping.
"What about you?" the girl asked.
"Xu Qinglang."
"What a nice name," the girl said.
"Yes," Zhou Ze echoed.
"Did you also die nearby?" the girl asked again.
"Dead?"
"Yes, dead."
"Are you already dead?" Zhou Ze asked.
"Aren't you dead yet?"
The girl was a little confused, and then she said, "Or, Mr. Xu, you still haven't realized that you're already dead?"
"I died a long time ago," Zhou Ze replied. "Can you tell me how you died?"
"I don't really want to answer this question," the girl refused.
"But I really want to know. Anyway, we have nothing else to do now, right?" Zhou Ze tempted.
"We can take a shower," the girl said seriously.
"Shower?"
"Yes, we can soak in the hot spring every day, take a shower, and wash every part of our bodies clean.
People should be clean. No matter when, no matter what the situation is, we have to be clean. "
As a man with a mysophobia, Zhou Ze's heart actually resonated with the girl's words.
The girl really stopped chatting with Zhou Ze. She began to wipe her body seriously, which was to wash herself clean.
Zhou Ze felt that she had washed herself too clean. Zhou Ze could clearly hear the feeling of the bath towel rubbing against his skin. It should be very painful, right?
After a while..,
The girl took the initiative and said, "Mr. Xu, can you do me a favor?"
"Speak."
"One of my legs..,
In your pool, over there.
Can you help me..,
Wash it clean? "

There was a small earthquake in Sichuan, causing them to be unable to take the original route and have to take a long detour. Therefore, Dragon could only spend most of his time on the bus. Today, he went to visit two primary schools in Liangshan, and then he took the bus from the afternoon until night before arriving at the hotel. Therefore, he could only squeeze out time to write this week's update. After all, it was really impossible to write on a notebook on the bumpy mountain road.
