Chapter 36 The Ananda Buddhist Ring
Then I heard the sound of a man's voice call for help from Li Muzi’s throat: “Help!”
My heart fluttered. What happened... to this woman?
Why was a man’s voice in her throat?
What's so weird about her?
“Mr. Yu, Mr. Yu... can you hear me?”
I was in a daze, then I vaguely heard Li Muzi calling me. I returned to my senses and asked her: “Professor, please.”
Li Muzi told me: “You asked me if I trusted you. Anyway, I have received a scientific education, that’s why I trusted you. In this world, there were so many things that science couldn’t explain, so there must be another kind of subject, and it was theology. Theology was trying to be the bridge between science and the mysterious power, but now this bridge is such a failure. However, I trust you... the successor of Yin and Yang Tattoos.”
I put my palms together devoutly and gave her a solute: “It is better when professor Li trusts me.”
Then I asked her: “So, professor... What is it?”
“I don’t want nightmares anymore.” Li Muzi sat on the sofa and told me.
I looked at her and saw an obvious small hand print on her throat.
It was just like finger-sized palm that was pressed against her throat.
I was shocked seeing this, and I just imagined it was only a kind of illusion.
I saw Li Muzi was acting rather unusual and she asked me whether I could help her get rid of the nightmares.
I shook my head and told her I was not so sure about that. In any case, I didn’t know what caused her nightmares.
My master had told me that some people seemed to be sinister and sneaky, but they wouldn’t suffer anything strange when he was frank and forthright.
These days, I met with plenty of people with ‘strange’ things, and they were so because they were not frank and forthright. Mimi was a prostitute, Niu Xiao’er was a gambler, and Bai Ling was even more terrible, since she killed an infant who was about to be born.
They had reasons for why they got mixed up with those strange things, but for Li Muzi... an urbane and beautiful professor with a good style of conversation as well as a decent job, what was the reason she also suffered this strange thing?
“I was referred by Mr. Liu. Well, Mr. Yu, before we give the medical treatment to the patients, we need to observe first and carry out the treatment plan. Your business is deeper in psychology, which means it might follow the same process as we do,” Li Muzi said with a smile.
I nodded quickly and praised her as a real college professor since she was doing things with order and method. Actually I really needed time to think so that I could decide what kind of Yin and Yang Tattoo would solve her problems, and made the confirmation.
Li Muzi smiled to me and after a few moments of greeting, she left my studio.
The moment she left, l called Liu the Sixth.
“Hello, Mr. Six.” I got through and said hello to him.
It seemed he was playing cards; I could hear the sounds in the background.
He chuckled and said to me: “Oh, Shui, were you calling for the products? I got something new, with better effects but lower prices. Come on, it’s the last chance.”
I was not asking for the products but giving him a critical attitude, then tore into him: “Mr. Six, why did you refer such a guest to me? She was rather strange. Well, it was that woman, her name was Li Muzi.”
“My god, there’s a small palm against her throat. She’s a rather fierce woman... I cannot deal with it.”
After my complaints, Liu the Sixth told me to wait first.
Then I heard his voice: “Mr. Wang, help me with this for a while. I am going out for something.”
Then came the sound of footsteps. Liu the Sixth stopped when it was quiet around the microphone, and he told me: “Shui, aren’t you satisfied with this business from me? It is such good business and you can earn a lot from Li Muzi. You just tell her to pay more and she will surely accept. Anyway, now the one who is willing to pay the most is the master.”
I shook my head like a rattle and said to Liu the Sixth: “Mr. Six, you need to be alive to earn money and use it, right? Li Muzi is such a strange person.”
“Strange? Hey, Shui, let me tell you, don’t you think each customer is strange enough when you begin to do this ghost business? Well, if you want to earn big money, I have two words for you - brave and cautious... So, how can you do Yin and Yang tattoos when you are not brave enough? You can go back for your regular tattoos; that needs no courage at all.” Liu the Sixth began to speak sharp words.
However, he sounded reasonable.
