Chapter 235 Arguing with the Dead
Chapter 235 Arguing with the Dead
Li Jian snorted and said, "Why are you arguing with a dead man?"
"dead?"
Zhang Haowen was also baffled by this statement.
Li Jian said, "Don't worry about it so much. A person's fate is predetermined. Don't be too grateful for other people's karma."
The two people arrived at the elevator and pressed the button twice, but the elevator did not respond.
Zhang Haowen raised her little foot and kicked it hard twice; "This damn elevator breaks down every other day. I'm going to complain about them tomorrow."
"Why get angry? If the elevator is broken, just take the stairs. Consider it exercise."
Li Jian took Zhang Haowen's hand and walked towards the stairs.
As soon as he entered, a girl rushed downstairs and bumped into Li Jian's arm as they passed each other.
The girl looked to be around twenty years old, wearing a green acrylic short-sleeved shirt that exposed her navel, paired with a black short skirt that reached her hips, showing off her long, straight legs.
But what's most eye-catching is the girl's explosive yellow hair, a typical delinquent girl look.
The young woman seemed to be chasing someone, hurrying past without saying a word.
Zhang Haowen was furious and shouted at the girl's back, "Hey, don't you have any manners? You bumped into someone and didn't even apologize!"
Her response was a middle finger from the blond-haired punk girl.
"Ganlinniang!"
Zhang Haowen couldn't hold back any longer. She broke free from Li Jian's arm and chased after him.
"You son of a bitch, don't go!"
This was the first time Li Jian had seen Zhang Haowen so violent, and he couldn't understand where she got such a strong sense of resentment.
Li Jian quickly caught up and said, "Hey, Wen, don't be angry."
Zhang Haowen, however, was only focused on chasing the young delinquent girl and ignored Li Jian's shouts.
The three chased each other until they reached the corner of the elevator on the two lower floors.
The young delinquent girl was leaning against the wall, craning her neck to look in another direction, seemingly spying.
Zhang Haowen, breathing heavily, grabbed the young delinquent girl and made her face him: "Finally caught you!"
The young delinquent made a shushing gesture and then pointed outside.
Zhang Haowen didn't believe it at all and said, "You still want to lie to me? Do you think I'm a college student?"
The young delinquent quickly reached out to cover Zhang Haowen's mouth.
But Zhang Haowen grabbed the young delinquent's wrist and tackled her, saying, "I've seen plenty of young delinquents like you. Trying to mess with me? You'll have to wait until your next life!"
Li Jian walked over and saw the young woman being held captive: "What's going on here?"
The young delinquent looked up, saw Li Jian, and pleaded, "Big brother, save me! I was wrong!"
Zhang Haowen snorted and said, "Isn't it a little too late to apologize now?"
The blond-haired punk girl looked up, revealing a face that looked remarkably like Karen Mok: "Big brother, save me!"
Li Jian patted Zhang Haowen on the shoulder and said, "Let her go. She's just a little delinquent. What trouble can she cause?"
Zhang Haowen pouted and let go of the blond-haired punk girl.
The blond-haired punk girl coughed twice, beckoned to Li Jian with her finger, and then pointed towards the stairwell.
Li Jian and Zhang Haowen peeked out curiously.
The stairwell in the distance.
A man wearing a long black trench coat and a black baseball cap was talking to a potted plant: "If I don't go to hell, who will? It's alright, don't worry about me."
After saying that, the man in black glanced at his watch on his left wrist: "Time's up!"
The man in black stood up, picked up the flowerpot, and walked in another direction.
Zhang Haowen scratched his head: "Why aren't you sleeping at night? Coming out to talk to flowers, what a nutcase!"
"Hey, little punk, what's so interesting about this?"
The blond-haired punk girl arrogantly declared, "First of all, I'm not called blond-haired punk girl, my name is A-Qun."
Secondly, that person wasn't crazy; he was a reclusive master!
Zhang Haowen rolled her eyes: "Suddenly I feel so tired. Are all the people living in this building not normal?"
Ignoring Li Jian and Zhang Haowen, the blond-haired punk girl chased after them.
"Hey, where are you going?"
Zhang Haowen had no intention of letting this young, blond-haired delinquent get away with it; her detective instincts told her that this young woman was suspicious!
The group chased each other until they reached the floor where Xiaolong's house was located.
Just as Li Jian ran up, he heard a loud shout: "Xiao Long!"
Immediately afterward, the blond-haired punk girl jumped up and shouted, "Yes!"
Zhang Haowen was startled and asked, "What are you doing?"
The blond-haired punk girl turned around, revealing a set of white teeth: "Possessed by a ghost! Possessed by a ghost!"
The blond-haired punk girl shouted excitedly and chased after the man in black.
Li Jian and Zhang Haowen exchanged glances. Zhang Haowen lifted her leg to chase after her, but Li Jian stopped her: "What are you doing? I need to catch up with that delinquent girl. I suspect she's the one who threw the object from the high-rise!"
Li Jian couldn't help but smile wryly.
What's the point of chasing after it?
From the moment he saw the man in black, Li Jian knew which Hong Kong movie he was in.
It's Stephen Chow's film "Out of the Dark," which has a high rating but isn't very well-known.
Although this show is a comedy, it really left a psychological scar on Li Jian when he was a child.
Li Jian was particularly impressed by Xiaolong's grandmother, the ghostly image of that old woman.
What's even more terrifying is that the ghosts in this show are just as formidable, especially the ghost couple, who are practically the Mr. and Mrs. Smith of the ghost world.
Although Li Jian wanted to see Neutrino, he didn't want to face the vengeful ghost dressed in red.
He doesn't want to be a servant in the underworld.
Li Jian led Zhang Haowen to Xiaolong's house and saw the woman sitting on the ground crying.
Upon seeing the woman, Li Jian crouched down and asked, "What happened?"
The woman cried out, "The little dragon demon has possessed me!"
Zhang Haowen asked, "Who was that person in the black trench coat just now?"
The woman said, "He used a megaphone to chase Xiaolong away."
"What on earth happened?"
The woman said, "It's my mother-in-law who's back."
Zhang Haowen's eyes involuntarily looked towards the wall, goosebumps rising all over her body: "Hey, don't scare me, I'm not afraid."
The woman said earnestly, "I really didn't lie. My mother-in-law was hiding inside the TV and chasing me. If I hadn't run fast, she would have killed me."
Zhang Haowen found it increasingly unsettling: "But your mother-in-law is already dead."
"I already told you she's a ghost! She turned into a ghost and came to kill me!"
The woman was also terrified, her voice trembling.
Li Jian said, "Awen, you stay here and watch over her. I'm going to chase after the man in black!"
Li Jian knew there was danger ahead, so he told Zhang Haowen to stay where she was.
Zhang Haowen took Li Jian's hand and said, "I'll go with you!"
Seeing the resolute look on her face, Li Jian said, "You're not as skilled as me. If we encounter danger, I might not be able to protect you. Don't worry, I'll go check and come right back."
Zhang Haowen knew Li Jian was referring to something, so she didn't press the matter further. She simply told him, "Don't try to be a hero. If it really comes down to it, I'll call the guys over."
