C4 Unavoidable

My heart pounded like a drum. It kept beating violently, as if it could jump out of my mouth if I wanted to.

I stared at "Hsing" with my eyes. I could not believe that she was related to the little wife in the coffin.

What was going on?

Was Hsing possessed by the ghost, or was the ghost transformed into Hsing?

I bit my teeth and took a deep breath. Then, I turned my head away from her.

I was determined that I would not care about what the ghost was up to. I would not even look at it.

"Oh, you don't even look at me! Are you that cruel?"

Maybe she noticed that I had closed my eyes again, so she asked me in a soft and gentle tone.

Hearing her words, I was even more sure that this "Hsing" had a strange background.

I thought to myself, "Hsing" and I have not been together for a whole day. We are just a senior and junior sister.

You used the word "crazy". Did you think that we were in a relationship?

Tsk! Idiot!

After thinking about it, my heart calmed down a little. I kept my guard up and remembered the word 'rule'.

About an hour later, my ears finally calmed down.

When I opened my eyes, I saw Hsing sitting next to the coffin on my left. She was looking at me with her beautiful eyes.

When she realized that I was looking at her, Hsing gently held her hand and raised her thumb up. She made a gesture of approval.

The stone in my heart fell to the ground. I knew that the person in front of me was my real Senior Sister.

I lowered my head to look at the electronic watch on my wrist. It was less than ten minutes until the time was five in the morning.

I immediately relaxed. However, when I thought about what my wife had done to me last night, I was angry and scared.

Who would have thought that the ghost would have such a brilliant method?

It first made a sound to scare me, then it cried and made a red lantern, trying to make me collapse.

While I was numb, it even turned into Hsing's appearance and tried to trick me to speak.

Damn it! Where did it get such a great ability?

If it was so good, why didn't it go to the sky?

I held back the gloom in my stomach and cursed the ghost in my heart. However, before the time was up, I did not dare to speak to my Senior Sister.

After a while, Hsing jumped up from the ground. She patted her fair hands repeatedly and said with a smile, "Alright! Get up! We have completed our mission!"

When she said these words, her eyes were curved like the crescent moon at the beginning of the month.

She smiled and revealed two shallow dimples on her chin. She looked so charming.

I also smiled, but I could not care about appreciating Hsing's face and figure. I quickly looked down at the time.

Heh - it was exactly five o'clock?

I thought to myself, this was really a great achievement.

I couldn't say anything or move, but I could hear the ghost chattering and chirping... It was like a house sparrow.

Now I also understood why the Vigil Keeper was able to earn so much money so quickly.

This was really not something that a human could do!

I reckoned that it was because I was young and my heart could handle it.

If it was someone older, they might have their heart broken from the shock.

I stood up and shouted for Hsing. Then, I wanted to tell her about what happened last night.

Unexpectedly, just as I spat out those two words, Hsing's eyes squinted and she stuck out her tongue and asked, "What do you call me?"

I was stunned. There was nothing wrong with that! Didn't you say that I could call you Hsing or Senior Sister?

Hsing's eyes curved even wider and her pearly whitish cheeks became even more obvious.

She shook her cute little head and said with a smile, "No! No! You should call me - Little Mei!"

"Little Mei?"

I subconsciously recited those two words, and my mind couldn't think straight.

What was going on? Why did Hsing's words sound so strange? Could it be that she had two names?

At this moment, I suddenly had a bad feeling.

Then, I looked up and saw that Hsing's body was starting to change.

Her body was slowly fading away, like a rising fog that was gradually evaporating.

Her light blue jeans had somehow turned into a long white dress. As it floated in the air, it emitted an extremely evil aura.

Until she completely disappeared, I could still hear her sinister and joyful laughter in my ears.

I was stunned on the spot. I could not understand what was happening in front of me.

At this moment, "Boom, boom ~ ~"

The sound of an old bell suddenly rang behind me!

It rang five times in a row!

Every time it rang, it was like an iron hammer smashing heavily into my heart.

It was only... just five o'clock?

Then, my watch...

My heart skipped a beat. When my gaze fell on the watch again, I saw that the number on it had jumped from 4.59 to 5.

I turned my head and saw that Hsing had disappeared. She was still sitting cross-legged and waiting there.

At this moment, Hsing had already opened her big eyes and looked at me with worry, regret, and anger in her eyes.

"Junior Brother, this time, it's really troublesome. That ghost has targeted you! After using all kinds of methods, she finally managed to trick you and open her mouth!"

"Hey, actually, it's not your fault. She has such a heavy grudge, so she will definitely come up with more methods."

"I just don't understand why Master insisted on having you follow him to guard the spirit on the first day of your apprenticeship?"

Hsing stood up and said softly.

I staggered and retreated backwards. My back was right on top of the coffin.

My hand trembled as I pointed at Hsing and asked, "Are you... are you a living person... or... or a Yin Ghost?"

At that moment, my mind was filled with mud, and I couldn't tell if it was real or fake.

I couldn't even tell if it was past five in the morning.

Or maybe, everything that I saw was still the work of that little wife?

My heart was filled with anger and fear. I held my hair tightly with both hands, then rubbed my face repeatedly.

I didn't know what serious consequences there would be if I talked to the Yin Ghost after breaking the rules.

I only knew that I had somehow made contact with the little wife.

She would definitely target me in the future!

At this moment, Hsing had already walked in front of me. She put her hand on the back of my hand, allowing me to feel the warmth on her hand.

Hsing said softly, "Junior brother, of course, I am your senior sister! No matter what methods the Yin Ghost uses, their bodies will always be cold."

"Besides, the Yin Ghost doesn't know our origins. When you were in contact with it, did it say your name or any other information related to your identity?"

When Hsing said that, I immediately realized what she meant.

That's right. When the ghost transformed into Hsing, it was talking to us, not mentioning our names at all.

But I... But I was the one who guarded the spirit the first day. How could I know so much?

My thoughts were extremely chaotic. These thoughts flashed through my mind, and then I grabbed Hsing's shoulder.

I shook her petite body as if I was grabbing onto a life-saving straw.

"Hsing, tell me the truth. What would happen if the ghost stared at me?"

"I, I... Will I die?"

When I asked the second question, my voice was already filled with tears. I felt fear and grievance in my heart.
