Just as I was panicking, my cell phone rang. Luckily, I stuffed it under my pillow and grabbed it with one hand. It was my mother.

Just when I was about to tell my mother about my situation with a sliver of hope in my heart, she turned into a mess. It was as if she couldn't hear my voice at all, and she hung up very quickly.

Looking at the phone screen automatically black screen, my heart was completely cool.

"Do you know who I am now?" The extremely magnetic voice rang out again.

My heart just tightened, did not answer his words, but quietly reached for the phone.

As the phone screen lit up, a big white hand blocked my phone screen, and I couldn't help but scream as I jumped.

I could not see his face. He was a translucent white from head to toe.

What is this? Why is it translucent?

"What? Are you scared again?"

There was a chill in the magnetic voice that made my hair stand on end in the heat.

This … this was not a human, it was clearly a ghost!

I stood on the bed, my teeth chattering, my eyes straight.

"Yes, I'm already dead. I'm just a ghost." The voice of the white shadow was filled with sadness.

I felt my body shudder involuntarily, and I couldn't hear what he was saying.

Damn it, this guy, so what if he's a ghost. "Little sister, little sister," it sounds like the voice of a grown man. "Is he abnormal? Is he even scarier than normal ghosts?" I muttered in my heart as cold sweat trickled down my back.

"Um, aren't you a man? How did you become a ghost and become a ghost girl?" I asked hesitantly.

"What, Miss Ghost?" He was stunned at first, but then he laughed. "I'm not a girl anymore. I'm a ghost, a charming demon."

A ghost is a ghost, why are they even associated with charisma? Putting money on one's own face isn't such a good idea, right? I couldn't help but shiver as I smiled contemptuously.

"Oh, are you very charming? Can I see how charming you are?" I looked at the white figure with an evil smile.

"Charm!" Didn't you just see it in the mirror? " He said lightly.

"So the man in the mirror with blood all over his face is you." I asked him in surprise. It was scary enough to think he'd put the word "charm" together, but wasn't that disgusting?

"My name is Li Yu Chi, I'm an archaeologist. Something happened to me in the river where you were flooded, but I can't remember anything else, so you have to help me." His voice, rich with magnetism, trembled a little.

My god, this ghost was actually an archaeologist when he was alive. I have never been able to tell the difference between archaeology and tomb robbing. Maybe it's just that I've seen a lot of tomb robbing novels online, but if I didn't read those tomb robbing novels, I've never really paid attention to archaeology.

"I don't care if you're an archaeologist or a tomb robber. Why are you looking for me? I was nearly drowned in the river, was it your fault?" I asked without thinking, but the moment the words came out, I couldn't help but regret it. If I angered a ghost, what would happen?

"Yes, that was me. I originally wanted to find you to be my substitute, but for some reason, I just couldn't drag you to the bottom of the river. I let you escape." Unexpectedly, after hearing my question, he smiled. This time around, I could feel that his laughter was really pleasant to the ears, causing me to feel an indescribable infatuation in my heart.

"What? It's really you? But, why did you come here with me?" My anger immediately rose. Damn it, he couldn't have done anything to me, so why is he still pestering me?

"That's because I only know you. Although I don't know why others would drown and turn into water ghosts, I became a demon that seduced others." His voice sounded so melodious that it made me want to hear it. It reminded me of the story of the Siren and made me force myself not to listen to it, but how could I? I couldn't control myself and had to listen to it.

"I don't want to hurt you. If you can help me, I also want to leave this place as soon as possible. I don't want to become a wandering ghost and never be able to reincarnate." There was a pleading in his voice, but the more I listened, the more confused I became.

Gradually, I fell asleep under the effect of his voice. I slept soundly, and in my dreams, I didn't even see that pale hand pulling me into the water.

When I woke up, it was already around 8 in the morning. I was woken up by a knock on the door. No, to be exact, it was the sound of someone knocking on the door.

Through the goggles, I saw a fat boy with big eyes standing outside. He was about the same age as me, and his face was filled with anger.

This man and woman are different, can I open the door? Besides, with his angry expression, he definitely can't open the door.

When I asked him through the door, I realized that he was living downstairs. This morning, he woke up to find that there was a leak in the bathroom and asked me if I had done it.

I hurried to the bathroom, only to find that it was a vast expanse of water and the tap was still running.

I couldn't help sticking out my tongue, thinking that I was going to be rich again.

Even though I was going to make a fortune, I still called the landlord and told her to come over to my place as soon as possible. After what happened, how would I know what to do?

The landlord, a middle-aged woman in her fifties, looked at me and shouted that I had forgotten to turn on the tap and that I was responsible for all the consequences.

She didn't expect that the fat boy would stop her. He said that their owner's waterproofing was not done properly, which was why the water seeped into the house. He told her to clean up quickly and not wait for a similar situation to happen again.

Hearing this, I feel really happy in my heart. Looks like I have to save some money. Alright, I'll definitely invite this little brother in the future to repay a favor.

At that moment, the school supervisor called me and told me that I was going to the school today, that I was going to have a meeting and announce my future schedule.

He treated me as an outsider. Logically speaking, the freshmen are not allowed to stay outside the academy. However, he personally informed me that he was giving me face, so I had no choice but to go.

I tidied myself up and left the matter of the leak to the landlord. Actually, there wasn't any big problem, it was just that the water pipe wasn't very tight, so I could just use some waterproof glue.

Just as I reached the entrance of the apartment, a security guard stopped me and asked if the person who was wailing in the building last night was me. He even asked me what had happened to me last night.

Only then did I remember what happened last night. My heart was trembling, what did you do last night? What's the use of asking now, do you still want me to thank you?

"What happened last night? Where did you go last night?" I snapped at the guard.

"I'm sorry, but we didn't receive any report, so it's not good for us to go up. We were only listening to someone shouting downstairs, so we asked you." The security guard spoke to me respectfully, but he didn't dare look me in the eye.

What? He didn't go when he didn't receive a report? Was he in charge? If he killed someone, was he waiting for the person who did it himself?

I was furious, and I was ready to start a fight with the security guard.

The security guard saw that I wasn't going to leave, so he didn't say anything and quietly retreated. He also didn't want to get into trouble.

It's still early in the morning and I'm too lazy to quarrel with him. Besides, there's still a meeting at the school, so I can't be late as soon as the school starts.

I left the security guard and hurried to the side of the road to take a taxi to school. Although my apartment wasn't far from the school, I was late. If I were to walk there, the meeting would definitely end there.

Just as I reached the roadside, a taxi stopped in front of me. My heart was filled with happiness, I really wanted to do this. This early in the morning is the peak of work, a taxi isn't easy to hit, but there was one parked automatically in front of me.

The driver was an old man in his fifties. He was thin and skinny, giving off a feeling as if he had seen a skeleton.

Thinking about the skeleton, my heart tightened. Although I couldn't remember what happened last night clearly, I still remembered the skull in the mirror. I couldn't help but shiver.

I don't want to ride in his car, but it's not easy to stop one right now. It's going to be too late.

However, this Uncle Skeleton didn't even look at me. He just waited for me to get on the carriage and drove forward without asking me any questions.

I was curious, why didn't he ask me where I was going? Could it be that he could calculate and know where I was going without asking?

When I looked out the window, I couldn't help but be dumbfounded. Where did he drive to? This road isn't what I used to go to school. What the hell is this place? Where is he taking me?

My nerves couldn't help but tense up. This guy couldn't have been kidnapped? I'm really regretting it now. Why did he get into the car in such a fluster? I didn't even look at my license plate.

Uncle Skeleton glanced at me in the rearview mirror. When he saw my stupefied expression, he dryly laughed a few times before opening his mouth and asking, "You're Liu Ke'er, right?"

Crap, he even knows my name. My heart is beating like crazy.

What surprised me even more was that not only did he know my name, he even knew all about my family's situation. He even told me the date of my birth so clearly that my head was already big.

"Are you afraid?" Uncle Skeleton laughed. His relaxed expression didn't make me feel any better.
