Chapter 29: The ghost was Xu Weishan (2/2)

Oh my! This woman! A few minutes ago, she said she was going to keep the secret, and now she was already threatening me to spill it.

“No no no! I was just asking! I don’t have any other intentions. Don’t overthink.” I tried my best to soothe her so she would finally leave. The ghost version was still by my side. She heard our entire conversation.

This time, although I didn’t want to deal with this, I kind of had to deal with it….

I sighed and stood in front of the ghost, “What is the relationship between you and Xu Weishan?”

Initially, I thought it was something innocent. For example: Perhaps one of the twins passed away. But based on Xu Weishan’s earlier reaction, it didn’t seem that simple.

The ghost floated in front of me and pointed at the nameplate on her uniform.

I stared at it. The three characters were particularly eye-catching.

Xu Weishan.

After debating for a while, I decided to come back to this place again.

Grandmother Meng was sitting on the chair that was exclusively made for her as she peeled a tangerine like last time. She evilly grinned at me, “I knew you’d be back. We are on the same path. Aside from me, no one else can help you…”

As I watched her playful expression, I began to question whether I had made the right decision coming here.

The room was much colder than last time; I wrapped my jacket tighter around me.

“Aren't you cold?” I couldn’t help but ask.

Grandmother Meng shrugged her shoulders and revealed what she was wearing for me to see, “This is made from wool. Of course I’m not cold…”

Haha. Who wears wool in the Summer?!

Whatever. That was not important. Grandmother Meng was correct. She understood me the most. Based on the Sheyu incident from last time, she definitely had some skills. In addition, she was the only person that was walking my path.

“I know you didn’t come alone. You have a friend with you, but just like last time, she is blocked at the entrance. Am I correct?”

“You can see her?”

Grandmother Meng shook her head, “Didn’t I previously tell you I couldn’t see ghosts? Child, you have poor memory. Normally, your brain doesn’t work well, huh?”

I have to deal with the insult for no reason….

“Maybe you have mentioned it before...but am I not allowed to forget….” I quietly muttered. Then, I openly stated the reason why I came.

“I want to know how to communicate with ghosts.”

Hearing my words, Grandmother Meng sat up straight. She appeared alert as she slightly frowned her brows, “What do you want to do?”

I could tell the way Grandmother Meng stared at me was different, so I explained, “Although I can see ghosts, but all the ghosts I can see cannot communicate with me. This is giving me a rather big headache. I want to know how to interact with them.”

“Interacting with ghosts isn’t something a normal person can do. I urge you not to try. Otherwise, there might be an unexpected price you have to pay.”

“Price? What price? Is it a scary price?” I asked a bunch of questions in a row. If there was danger involved, it didn't matter if she was Xu Weishan or not, I would turn a blind eye on all.

Grandmother Meng gazed at me and spread out her hands, “I am not sure myself. That’s what I heard.”

Seeing how solemn she was, I thought there was a horrifying consequence….

I slowly sighed a breath of relief, “If I can only see ghosts but never interact with them, I’d rather not see them….”

“Having the ability to see ghosts is a gift God gave you.”
