A dating guide turned into being surrounded by female ghosts?
Chapter 12 Mother's Torture
The ten minutes required for the date task have been completed without me even realizing it.
Lin Yue got up from the ground.
He patted the dust off his bottom and said, "It's nothing. I noticed you hadn't come yet, so I came in to take a look. It turns out someone moved these dolls here, and then I happened to have low blood sugar and fainted, so I knocked all the dolls over. That's what happened."
The ultimate excuse for low blood sugar.
Anyway, Aunt Sun can't see Wen Ning.
Humans are not so easily inclined to believe in something they cannot perceive.
Therefore, there is no need, and even less ability, to reveal the truth.
Aunt Sun nodded, somewhat bewildered.
Is that really the case?
She felt that something was off.
"Alright... let's not waste any more time and get this done quickly," Aunt Sun said.
Lin Yue nodded in agreement.
Then I saw Aunt Sun take out some paper money and incense sticks and other sacrificial items from her bag.
Lin Yue respectfully took it.
His excuse for inviting Aunt Sun over was that he wanted to properly pay respects to Wen Ning and take a good look at her.
Although Aunt Sun couldn't understand why they came to pay their respects in the middle of the night.
But under Lin Yue's insistence, she had no choice but to agree.
Then the series of events just now happened.
The two lit the incense sticks and paper money with a lighter.
A ball of orange flame ignited in the cold shopping mall, dispelling much of the eerie chill and making people feel much safer.
But Lin Yue knew that this sense of security did not come from the warmth of the flames, but from the grieving mother beside her.
Ever since Aunt Sun came.
Wen Ning never showed her face again, as if she didn't want her mother to discover that she had become the vengeful ghost she is now, even though Aunt Sun couldn't see her at all.
Lin Yue turned her head slightly, looking at Aunt Sun's calm yet sorrowful expression in the firelight.
She whispered, "Aunt Sun, please accept my condolences."
Aunt Sun said calmly, "Mm."
She had heard these kinds of words far too many times over the past decade.
······
After the memorial service is over.
The two extinguished the flames and walked out of the mall.
Aunt Sun was extremely thin, looking like a willow tree about to wither and die.
After burning the paper money, she felt a little tired. She took out her car keys and said, "Xiaoyue, do you want me to give you a ride? It's not a good time for you to go home at this hour, is it?"
Lin Yue nodded. "Okay, but you'll have to wait for me. I dropped something and need to go get it."
Although Aunt Sun was a little late, which caused the task to be a bit complicated.
But thankfully, the final outcome was a close call.
The task was ultimately completed successfully, and I received the reward I deserved.
Aunt Sun said she would wait for him in the car, but as she walked toward the black sedan parked by the roadside, she paused, turned back, and said seriously, "Xiaoyue, thank you."
Lin Yue reflexively replied, "You're welcome..." Then she realized what she meant and asked, "Uh, what are you thanking me for?"
"Thank you for still remembering Ningning. Ten years have passed, and even her father has passed away. It's touching that you still remember her." Aunt Sun tucked her gray hair behind her ear.
She looked unusually old, not at all like a woman in her early forties, but rather like someone in her sixties.
Lin Yue felt somewhat embarrassed at this point.
His situation is far too complicated.
It's hard to describe it as simply remembering or not remembering.
But overall, I only got a vague impression of Wen Ning a few days ago.
"Aunt Sun, you really didn't need to say all this."
Aunt Sun shook her head. "This may not be important to you, but it is very important to me. Thank you."
She said thank you again.
Lin Yue could only echo, "No need to thank me."
After saying those words, Aunt Sun drove away from the spot.
Lin Yue let out a long sigh.
From that previous conversation, we can tell that this woman probably always believed that she hadn't taken good care of young Wen Ning, which led to the tragedy.
She killed her own child with her own hands.
For a mother, this situation is simply the greatest torment in the world.
The deeper the love, the greater the pain.
The heavy psychological burden has worn away all her energy and spirit, which is probably why Aunt Sun looks thin and old.
Although Aunt Sun is Lin Yue's biggest protection right now, he is still helpless against her.
The incurable guilt has created wounds that cannot heal.
This is not something an ordinary person can help with.
He turned around, walked to the mall entrance, picked up the secondhand phone lying there, and turned off the recording function.
This was a tool he bought specifically to research whether electronic devices could capture images of ghosts.
It boasts a 100-megapixel camera, ultra-long battery life, and night shooting capabilities.
This is already the most cost-effective video recording equipment available on the market. After all, he is just a poor student and cannot pursue the ultimate equipment like those photography enthusiasts.
Lin Yue twitched her finger slightly and opened the newly released video.
This time, unlike the previous surveillance footage in the student dormitory, the screen wasn't completely black.
The image was very clear; he could even see the cold sweat dripping down his forehead, reflecting light slightly.
However, there were no ghosts.
The puppet is moving.
But Wen Ning was not captured on camera at all.
"Sigh—" After sighing, Lin Yue put the second-hand phone away. This time, the mission of using the sex toy was completed. It would probably just gather dust in her drawer from now on. It was a pity that she spent 500 RMB.
This mission, involving buying photography props and various protective amulets (all fake), completely drained him of his money.
If it weren't for the system giving me some monetary rewards...
He'll probably be starving this month.
However, in the very moment he relaxed...
The surrounding temperature plummeted, and the air exhaled from the mouth and nose turned into a cold white mist.
The terrifying, serpentine whisper echoed in my ears once more.
"Hiss—"
This is a sign that evil spirits are about to appear.
Lin Yue's pupils dilated instantly as she sharply looked in the direction of the shopping mall.
A terrifying girl in a long dress stood in front of the glass partition of the mall, staring intently at his body with her scarlet eyes.
The bright red spots on the skirt stained the white dress red, like blood-red eyes. Her seaweed-like hair floated slowly in the air behind her head, and she exuded a captivating pressure.
Those eyes were filled with an overflowing rage that threatened to tear him apart.
Lin Yue stiffened and took a few steps back.
It seems that... my act of calling her mother over has angered her.
I glanced back quietly.
The guardian deity, Aunt Sun, was still waiting for him in her car across the street, completely unaware of his predicament.
