In Modern Day 9
To be honest, after becoming an Assassin, even if there isn’t any light, I can still see the surroundings clearly without worrying about what’s on the ground.
But there’s no conflict between me being able to see in the darkness and my need for a flashlight.
Who isn’t afraid of the dark?
At that moment, my heart beats faster, pounding like a drum.
Almost at the same time, I sense someone watching me. The cold wind is the breath of a monster lurking deep in the darkness.
Recalling what happened on the bus previously, I pretended not to notice anything amiss and look down at my phone.
It’s broken again?
I had previously encountered the sudden experience of my phone’s flashlight dimming, but I was using a crappy phone. At this moment, the "experienced" me habitually blamed it on the phone.
After "checking" the phone and making the lights turn on again, I continue forward without anything happening.
The eerie wind is still lingering in the corridor. The light flickers in brightness, digging up the fear hidden at the bottom of my heart.
As I walk, I seriously consider what powers an Assassin has against ghosts.
The answer is:
Nothing.
Since I have nothing, I don’t look forward to slaying evil or dealing with the possible existence of a ghost as if dealing with gangsters.
One step, two steps, three steps. I calmly walk up the flight of stairs and arrive
The lights in the building are working fine as they shine down with their yellow light.
Everything returns to normal.
Following that, the cold gust of wind stops. The light stops flickering. I successfully return to the sixth floor and stop at the entrance of my rented apartment.
Phew, there’s actually a ghost present here! I have to move out as soon as possible! This thought subconsciously flashes across my mind.
I don’t feel any shame. This is an instinctual response that anyone can have!
However, if I quietly moved away, Sia Tas and her boyfriend would definitely not know what’s happening here. They’ll continue living here. Who knows whether the devil might pester them… Also, there are twelve units in this building. It’s impossible for me to inform every household, right? Also, how do I say it? Ghosts? Who would believe me? I hold my key, momentarily held in a difficult spot.
Quickly hire a capable Daoist priest or monk to exorcise the ghost? But I don’t know any. Before today, I didn’t even know that there are supernatural powers in this world. It was all fantasy… Yes, the Tarot Club’s The Star knows that the mysterious cult provides all kinds of superpowers, which means he has a certain level of understanding in such matters… Will he know a few masters who are good at busting ghosts? Phew, I’ll give it a try. If there’s nothing I can do, I’ll make an anonymous call to inform the police. I’ll post a flyer that mentions how this place is haunted at every household’s door, No, not flyer, a bulletin… I quickly come up with a plan.
As for the outcome, I don’t have any demands. After all, I don’t have any experience in this area. Besides, I should prioritize protecting myself.
Opening the door, I enter the room and return to my room. I think for a while before logging on to QQ and entering a private chat with The Star.
Uh, The Hanged Man and The Hermit suspect that he’s a member of cyber police. If I were to directly look for him, he will definitely be able to find my IP address and lock onto my identity… Just as I’m about to type the message, I remember the warning from two other members of the Tarot Club.
After tinkering for a while, I use a proxy and use my alt, The World, to say to The Star:
