Chapter 3: Farewell, young lady

“I….” The uncle was speechless.

I shook my head as I sighed hopelessly, “Also, Uncle, I just told you to stand further away from me. You know, your smell is really….. Do you have a gun? If you have a gun, just shoot me from afar. Make it fast. Stop standing so close to me! Seriously, I’m begging you!”

“I don’t need you to teach me what to do!” The uncle took a dagger from a rack and placed it against my neck. “Say farewell to life! Just like that guy on the ground!”

I closed my eyes as I waited for my life to end. I wondered how the hot bodyguard and the mistress will react when they see that I have also turned into a ghost?

Since they couldn’t speak, I had never communicated with them before. But if I became a ghost, that would mean I will be able to communicate with them, right?

In the end, ghosts were the only things I thought about.

Oh yeah. My parents…

I haven’t thought about them for years. Their images in my mind were very blurry. Oddly enough, even though I was able to see ghosts, I had never seen my parents. They had probably reincarnated long ago. Sigh. Those whom I truly wanted to see were the ones I couldn’t see.

“Uncle, are you surprised by my reaction? Am I the first person you have encountered like this?” For some reason, I suddenly didn’t want to die yet. For now, I wanted to have a conversation with the killer.

“What do you mean?”

“Well, if most people encountered something like this, they would probably be crying or begging ‘Please don’t kill me! Don’t kill me!’. Would that be the normal reaction?”

“Yeah. You’re kind of abnormal.” The uncle agreed with my analysis.

“Uncle, it’s not that I’m abnormal. It’s just that compared to everyone else, I have very few attachments to anything in this world. I only have myself. Even if you killed me today, no one will notice my corpse. So, uncle, you’re super lucky. You will kill your only witness and no one will notice. No one will wonder where she had been all these days? Did something happen? There wouldn’t be a single person who would come and check up on her….So uncle, you have a lot of time to run. I have lived 25 years without anything. Today, my meaningless life will finally come to an end. Regardless of whether I am happy or not, I’m still all alone…”

When I got to this part, I truly felt very sour. I was about to die. Why was I being so emotional? This wasn’t my style..

“If you want someone to talk to, I can listen to you.” It was as if the uncle had turned into a different person. I felt like there was a ray of light emitting from behind him. If he was a believer of a religion, I would probably be impulsive and join him too.

After living for 25 years, someone finally cared to listen to me? Could this be the saying, “Guard the cloud long enough and the Sun will show”?

I thought about it again. This was a killer. Forget it… ”No, it’s okay. I don’t want to waste your time. Just hurry and then escape!”

Then, I closed my eyes. This was the end. I gradually told myself to calm down as I silently waited for the dagger to pierce through my heart. Then, my soul will separate from my body.
