Chapter 56 - 56: Good Friend
The little ghost looked at Yunbao with a smile, but Yunbao was still furious. Not only could she not find Rong Xuan, but she also could not contact her uncle and the others. She was the only one, and including Song Yun, who could barely be considered a half a person. The sky was gradually darkening, which was still a little scary.
“What’s wrong with you!” Yunbao thought angrily. She looked at the abandoned house not far away and encouraged herself to go in and investigate.
Unexpectedly, the little ghost became very happy when he saw Yunbao get up and walk towards the dangerous building.
“Do you want to play with me?” The little ghost was very happy. As he floated beside Yunbao, the little ghost seemed to become more real.
Before entering the building, Yunbao specially raised her head to observe. The building was covered in green hedges, and the exposed green bricks were covered in moss. It looked like it had been abandoned for a long time. Yunbao thought for a moment and entered.
“Master, do you have a way to contact Uncle and the others?” Yunbao asked in her heart.
“My name is Mu Zi. What about you?” Before Song Yun could reply, the little ghost interrupted her.
She had forgotten that he could hear it too. Yunbao slapped her head in
frustration.
“No, I can’t do anything without communication tools,” Song Yun replied. After all, she could only rely on Yunbao now.
“Are you Yunbao? Your name is so nice!” The little ghost who called himself Mu Zi started to talk again.
Yunbao had never seen such a personable “ghost”. Soon, he became close to Yunbao and kept pestering Yunbao to play with him.
Yunbao was seriously observing her surroundings.
After entering the building, a damp and cold feeling immediately wrapped around Yunbao.
“Come and play with me. I’m so lonely.” Mu Zi continued to surround Yunbao.
“Be careful!” Mu Zi suddenly raised his voice. Yunbao was so frightened that she stopped on the spot. When she took a closer look, she realized that it was a mouse.
“You’re afraid of this?” Yunbao was speechless as she looked at Mu Zi. She had often seen this kind of little mouse before. Since she really didn’t have anyone to talk to, little mice were who she could confide in.
“I thought you’d be scared,” Mu Zi muttered softly.
He didn’t tell Yunbao that she was the first person he had met in many years who could see him and was willing to talk to him. It was a little like the sun that his father mentioned. This was the first time he felt warmth. Although he could appear under the sun, he would never feel the warmth of the sun.
However, he seemed to feel it now.
Yunbao also realized that after entering the building, this little ghost would become more and more like a real person. Other than not being able to walk and not having a physical body, Mu Zi was like a real child.
“Yunbao, how old are you?” Mu Zi’s mouth didn’t stop moving.
“I don’t know how old I am. I didn’t have anyone to play with before you.”
“You’re so cute.”
“Are you willing to stay with me?” Listening to Mu Zi’s words become increasingly ridiculous, Yunbao finally interrupted him.
“Did you really not see the boy I described?” Yunbao stopped and silently looked at Mu Zi who was floating in the air.
“Why do you have to find him? Is he very important?” Mu Zi blinked as he looked at Yunbao. However, Yunbao felt a chill down her spine. She instinctively hated Mu Zi.
Yunbao opened the doors one after another, but the interior was already abandoned. Dust was everywhere, and there were dense spiderwebs on the ceiling that had not been cleaned for a long time. Clearly, there were no traces of human existence.
“He’s my good friend. I must find him!” Yunbao looked at Mu Zi firmly.
Mu Zi looked at Yunbao in a daze. Yunbao’s gaze seemed to be able to stare two big holes into Mu Zi.
“Then we can also become good friends, right?” Mu Zi stood in front of Yunbao. Unfortunately, he had forgotten that he was only a spirit without a physical body. He could only watch as Yunbao passed through his body.
Yunbao searched the first floor but did not find anyone. She could only turn around and climb up to the second floor, hoping to find Rong Xuan as soon as possible. After all, it was difficult not to think about whether Rong Xuan would be hurt in such a place.
The dark building, the strange little ghost, everything indicated that this place was extraordinary.
“Yunbao, you have to be careful of this little ghost. He probably isn’t as harmless as he looks!” Song Yun reminded her softly, but Mu Zi still heard her clearly.
“Yunbao, the person in your body is so strange. However, if she can be in your body, does that mean that I can too?” Mu Zi suddenly moved closer to Yunbao’s face. His gaze wasn’t like a child’s, but terrifyingly dark..
