1406 In Modern Day 4 (2/2)

It's not from the air-conditioning, but a coldness that pierced through my skin.

I turn my head and look to the side, only to see that there's no one sitting there.

My instincts tell me that there's something invisible there.

Hiss, a ghost? I can sense ghosts after becoming an assassin? I first widen my eyes and carefully observe. Then, I retract my gaze and pretend not to notice anything.

If the ghost realizes that I can see it, I'm doomed!

Assassins do not have abilities to deal with ghosts!

My body uncontrollably tenses up. I try to act as if nothing had happened, but I'm helpless.

The chilly feeling grows stronger, as if it's getting closer and closer to me.

I look straight, but a vision appears in my mind.

A blurry man with a bluish-black face draws nearer and nearer to me. He leans to my ear and blows his breath on my face to test my reaction.

This cold lasts for nearly a minute before it gradually weakens.

Before long, the bus stops and the two doors open at the same time.

The cold and terrifying aura disappears.

The ghost reached its stop? Even ghosts use buses to travel? Amazing… I relax and have a better understanding of the changes in my body.

I'm not surprised that there are ghosts because I have become an Assassin. Everything is possible.

The bus stops along the way and I arrived at Ankang North Road 50 minutes later.

My rental apartment is nearby.

Since the storm has stopped, I don't use the umbrella. I get off the bus and go straight for the place I had planned on eating while on the bus.

”Yuzhou Stir-fry.”

There are many old shops in this old district that serve delicious food at cheap prices. This is one of them. If it weren't for the rain earlier, many tables would be set up outside.

Inside the store, I casually glance around.

”Eh…” I smile as I walk to a table and sit opposite a young man.

He ordered only a bowl of Yuxiang shredded pork and white rice. He's looking at his phone while eating with full focus.

”Not on a date?” I rap the table, startling the guy opposite me.

He's my childhood friend, Peng Deng. Recently, he's also been working in this international metropolitan city. As I helped him find a place to live, we ended up living very close to each other. It's all in the same neighborhood.

”How can I have a date when the weather is so bad?” Peng Deng looks up at me.

He doesn't put down his phone and asks, ”Want to play some ranked matches tonight?”

”I'm not free.” I have no intention of playing games right now. I just want to try the ”Leap of Faith.”

Peng Deng studies me intently for a few seconds.

”You have a girlfriend?”

”I hope so too.” I turn my head to the boss. ”One stir-fried sliced beef, one tomato fried egg soup, and a bottle of Coke.”

When something good befalls one, celebrations are in order.
