A dating guide turned into being surrounded by female ghosts?

After leaving the school, Lin Yue didn't dare to waste a moment and immediately hailed a taxi.

"Let's go to Famen Temple!"

He checked; it was the nearest temple to the school.

It seems that the only way to deal with ghosts is to try this kind of mystical power.

The driver readily agreed.

Only during the journey.

Lin Yue kept staring at the roof of the car, her strange expression causing the driver to frequently glance at the rearview mirror, wondering if there was something dirty on the roof of his car.

In some ways, the driver might have guessed correctly...

Fortunately, the journey was safe.

When Lin Yue arrived at her destination, there were no strange arms sticking out from the roof of the car.

I closed the car door and stood in front of Famen Temple.

Looking at the wisps of incense smoke rising from the temple, the atmosphere was peaceful and serene.

The atmosphere instantly calmed him down, and he went straight to the oldest monk in his sights and told him about his troubles.

Of course, the system and task parts are hidden.

He only said that he might have encountered a ghost and that he was now very unsafe.

But the more earnest he spoke, the more earnestly the senior monk replied, "My lord, superstition is unacceptable. There are no ghosts in this world..."

The monks in the temple said that feudal superstition is unacceptable.

Reversing the Heavenly Stems.

But he did gain something from it.

After much pleading and cajoling, the temple finally managed to get some things out of them.

Under the midday sun, several crows on the withered branches cawed incessantly, their noise so loud it seemed they wanted to pluck all their feathers off.

"quack--"

Lin Yue walked nervously down the vermilion gate of Famen Temple, stepping on the smooth stone steps.

He touched the protective amulet (200 RMB) around his neck, which was said to have been personally blessed by the abbot, and thought to himself, "This still doesn't feel enough."

Looking up at the sky, the alternating shades of yellow and dark purple seemed like a harbinger of a vengeful ghost about to unleash its power.

Lin Yue gritted her teeth, hailed another taxi, and headed to a certain place.

Wait until we reach the second destination.

The sky had completely darkened.

He looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar apartment building in front of him.

It's been twelve years since I last visited this old house when I was eight years old, since we moved.

The room number 401 above is where their family lived back then.

This time, however, he was clearly not there to revisit the place.

He went upstairs and knocked directly on the door of apartment 402 across the street.

"Ta-da!"

The door opened shortly afterward.

A middle-aged woman wearing an apron, with a thin face and gray hair, came out.

The middle-aged woman looked Lin Yue up and down, then asked suspiciously, "Who are you looking for?"

Through the crack in the open door, Lin Yue caught a glimpse of the black and white photographs hanging on the wall in the dimly lit living room.

The little girl in the photo frame has a bright smile and a beautiful beauty mark under her curved eyes. She looks like an exquisite porcelain doll. Even though she is very young, you can tell that she is a first-class beauty.

But the black and white background, combined with the ghost stories, makes it all the more chilling.

A portrait of Wen Ning after his death.

She is frozen at the age of ten in the photo.

Lin Yue touched the spirit stone (200 RMB) in her arms, feeling slightly relieved.

Returning to reality, he flashed a warm smile. "Aunt Sun, have you forgotten? I'm Lin Yue, I used to live across from your house."

Wen Ning's mother blinked.

He just dropped the bombshell.

"I don't know you, you've got the wrong person."

"Bang--!"

Then he closed the door.

Lin Yue "·····"

It was a bit awkward; I hadn't managed to force a smile.

······

It took Lin Yue a long time to make Aunt Sun remember that she was the child who lived in the house across the street ten years ago.

But you can't really blame them.

It's been ten years since I last saw her, and Lin Yue herself has changed a lot.

Moreover, due to the confusing nature of the system and the past, he still can't tell whether the worldline was modified by the system or whether Wen Ning's family really exists in the world.

It's probably because the two families used to have a very good relationship.

Wen Ning's mother was very happy to see Lin Yue.

He was invited to sit on the sofa, and the two began to reminisce about the story from back then, one sentence at a time.

However, most of the time Lin Yue was listening, while Wen Ning's mother was talking.

But as time went on, Wen Ning's mother noticed something was wrong. She noticed that the child sitting opposite her seemed unusually nervous.

A thin layer of sweat kept appearing on his fair and handsome face, and his eyes kept glancing upwards from time to time.

She couldn't help but comfort her, "Don't be nervous, Xiaoyue. It's been so many years, why did you suddenly decide to come back here?"

She thought Lin Yue was nervous because she felt awkward in a stranger's house.

But in reality...

Lin Yue was because of the black and white photo directly in front of her head.

It could also be due to psychological reasons.

He always felt that the little girl in the photo was looking at the top of his head with cold and sinister eyes. In addition, only the living room light was on, and in the dark places without any light, even the shadows seemed to be slowly writhing like living things, as if a pair of pale ghostly hands would grab down from the ceiling at any moment.

"It's nothing, I just found an old photo and thought I'd come back to take a look," Lin Yueqiang said with a smile.

The reason came to me on the way.

As for whether he took any photos with other people back then, Aunt Sun probably doesn't remember either.

Aunt Sun tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and asked in confusion, "What photo? You even came back specifically to take a look?"

"A photo taken with Wen Ning." Lin Yue stared at Aunt Sun's face and suddenly said seriously.

In that instant, it was almost obvious that Aunt Sun's expression darkened.

Seeing that her heartstrings were loosening, Lin Yue immediately followed up with, "By the way, Aunt Sun, how did Wen Ning get into trouble? I was too young at the time and really don't remember, and the adults don't want to talk about it. Could you tell me?"

This question was rather abrupt.

Aunt Sun's eyes flickered, and she changed the subject, seemingly unwilling to talk about it.

It wasn't until Lin Yue persisted multiple times.

In addition, since he was a witness to what happened back then, if he wanted to find out, there would probably be a million ways to find out.

Aunt Sun picked up her teacup and took a sip of water, then said in a seemingly nonchalant tone, "It's nothing. I wasn't watching her carefully enough, and Ning'er fell from the third floor of the mall, and then... that's how it happened."

Lin Yue nodded, seemingly without any hidden story.

After chatting for a few more minutes, he revealed his true purpose for coming.

"By the way, Aunt Sun, could you lend me one of Wen Ning's belongings as a keepsake? Ideally, something that could prove we were really close back then. Actually, I've always missed Xiao Ning, after all... she was my only friend back then."

There is currently no evidence to prove the existence of ghosts, as they have no memories of their previous life.

If I really did have a good relationship with Wen Ning before.

A single token from the past might be worth more than a hundred protective amulets.

Lin Yue deliberately made her expression quite gloomy.

Although Aunt Sun was reluctant, since it was her daughter's keepsake, she thought about it for a few seconds after seeing Lin Yue's sad expression before finally speaking.

"Wait a moment."

Tread-

Aunt Sun turned and walked into a room that seemed to have been closed for a long time. After a while, she took out a white box about the size of a tennis ball.

"Take this with you." Aunt Sun handed the box to Lin Yue.

Lin Yue took it, opened the lid, and found that it contained a toy ring made of plastic.

"What is this?"

Aunt Sun smiled faintly, "Don't you remember? This is what you insisted on giving to Xiao Ning back then, saying it was your token of love and that you would use it to marry Xiao Ning when you grew up. I don't know where you learned these things back then."

Lin Yue felt a little embarrassed. No wonder the other person gave her the things as soon as she asked.

I imagine that after all these years, Aunt Sun must have found this thing quite upsetting.

"Okay, thank you, Aunt Sun."

After saying that, he put the box in his pocket, turned around, opened the door, and went out.

Just as Lin Yue was about to go downstairs, he paused, his face contorted with struggle. As if remembering something, he turned back and said, "Oh, right, Aunt Sun, there's one more thing..."

The more preparations you have to save your life, the better.

······

Three days later in the blink of an eye.

During these past few days, no matter how much he talked, not a single temple or Taoist monastery was willing to take him in.

He had no choice but to stay away from school and home, lest the ghostly hand attack implicate others.

The only option was to spend each day in a different internet cafe, making do with a chair for the night.

And why choose an internet cafe?

The main reason is that this place is always crowded and brightly lit, day and night, so it's unlikely to be haunted.

He also discovered that if he stayed in one place for too long, Wen Ning would find him and attack him.

I change locations every day.

This would be just enough to interfere with Wen Ning's tracking.

He's already being this careful.

The next day, still too tired, I slept for an extra half hour in an internet cafe and was attacked by a ghostly hand that descended from the ceiling.

That attack left terrible scars on Lin Yue's arm.

Similarly, no one in the internet cafe could see the ghostly hands.

As time went on, Wen Ning's attacks seemed to become increasingly vicious.

We can't delay any longer...

It is now midnight on the third day.

Lin Yue raised her arm and glanced at the large, dark purple, grotesque bruise shaped like a palm on her arm, then took out her phone to check the time.

11 points.

It's almost midnight.

He now has a bunch of protective amulets in his pockets, which he obtained from different temples over the past three days to save his life.

In addition, there were arrangements made by Wen Ning's mother.

That should be enough, right?

Lin Yue thought about it uncertainly.

Looking up, he saw a dark and desolate abandoned shopping mall in front of him. Several large floating characters hung above, but many of the characters had fallen off, and now only three huge characters, "福" (fortune) and "百货" (department store), were still visible.

Fulimen Department Store.

This is the very place where Wen Ning had her accident, and also her residence after becoming a vengeful ghost.

Lin Yue took a deep breath, and with a slight thought, summoned the transparent light screen.

"Mission: A Heart-Pounding First Date"

"Requirement: Meet Wen Ning for at least ten minutes at the Fulimen Shopping Mall in this city around midnight."
