Chapter 1420: 1420

Having had half a day to spare, I stay in the bookstore until it’s almost seven .

During this time, I can’t refuse the owner’s repeated offers . I reluctantly take a small slice of lemon cake, a set of pasta with minced meat, and two grilled sausages that had been battered and fried with spicy chicken powder .

I don’t need dinner… I rub my belly and decide to take a walk home .

This helps with digestion .

The only problem is that the weather is hot and stuffy . If I walk in this weather for a while, I’ll definitely sweat .

However, ever since I entered society, I’ve always had the habit of taking a shower everyday . And today, I’m also preparing to wash some clothes, so I’m not too averse to sweating .

To my surprise, perhaps because of the Assassin beverage, I managed to passively lose weight . I don’t even have a tummy . Furthermore, I’m good at using the shadows to hide myself . When I return to my rented apartment, I’ve only sweated a fifth of what I expected .

That medium lady, Madam Daly, will be here at nine . There’s still about two hours left . With more than enough time, I decide to use the fan after my shower, and to play some games .

As for using the air conditioner, the weather isn’t too hot . Besides, after becoming an Assassin, I feel that I have a strong tolerance for heat and stuffy conditions .

To be honest, this cannot be considered unbearable . It’s just that I don’t really feel that hot and stuffy .

When I enter the bathroom, I glance at the mirror and suddenly think of a question:

That female ghost was introduced by Detective Sherlock Moriarty to protect me and investigate that mysterious cult . She hasn’t shown any intention of harming me . Should I remind her that I’ve found a medium, so she should hide in advance?

She doesn’t have any ill intentions . She’s very friendly . Besides, my reason for dealing with that mysterious cult is reasonably convincing… She must’ve sensed Madam Daly’s power last night . Even if I don’t tell her, she should be able to guess what will happen next… I think for a moment and make up my mind .

However, a new problem rears its head:

How should I warn her?

I don’t even know where she is or how I should contact her!

Looking around, I can’t find any clues . It seems like I’m the only person in the room .

Uh, yes, there’s only one person, but who knows if there are any ghosts .

Perhaps she’s hiding somewhere and I can just talk to the air? It’s rather silly talking to myself… I recall last night and cast my gaze back at the mirror .

Looking at my reflection in the mirror, I whisper, “I’ve hired a medium . She’ll be here at nine . ”

As soon as I finish speaking, the mirror in front of me turns dark, as if the surrounding light had been sucked in .

The pale female ghost wearing a small bonnet and a retro dress appears in the mirror and nods gently .

“Thank you . ”

In a second, her image disappears and the mirror returns to normal .

I heave a sigh of relief and hang up my clothes before I start to take a shower .

As I shower, I suddenly freeze .

Since the female ghost has already left, why am I spending so much money to hire a medium?

The female ghost clearly has no ill intentions, and she’s even secretly protecting me . Why would I spend so much money to hire a medium?

That’s 20,000 yuan, with a maximum of 50,000!

Wouldn’t that be a waste of money?

While taking pity on my wallet, I feel the need to think of a way to cancel the contract .

Anyways, it’s still early . As long as Madam Daly doesn’t live in the suburbs, she probably hasn’t set off yet .

But I can’t be sure that the female ghost doesn’t have any ill intentions… In my hesitation, I wipe myself dry and put on my clothes .

After careful consideration, I decided to use the strategy of delaying things to hold back on the exorcism assignment .

During this process, if I discover something amiss, I’ll immediately get Madam Daly to come over!

Sigh, it’s really embarrassing to break a contract… I return to my room, pick up my phone, and send a message to SleepingWithCorpses .

“Madam Daly, the ghost that is haunting me seems to have left . ”

This is the truth, but I didn’t explain why .

“Indeed…” After more than ten seconds, Madam Daly replies, “Could it be that the restrictions I did last night scared her away? Or maybe you were too much of a pervert and scared her away . Didn’t I ask you to watch ‘A Chinese Ghost Story’ and learn how to interact with female ghosts?”

I feel that it’s more likely that ‘A Chinese Ghost Story’ will make the female ghost shy… I didn’t dare reply as I cautiously say,

“I don’t know .

“How about this? Don’t come over today . I’ll keep an eye out for a few more days . If the female ghost really doesn’t appear again, then forget it . If there’s any problem, I’ll let you know again . How about that?”

After some hesitation, I add, “I can reimburse you for your preparations . No, I mean pay a reasonable fee . ”

“Let’s do this for now . I thought I could catch a female ghost and play with it . ” Madam Daly sends an emoji .

Hearing this, I relax . I feel like I’ve earned a huge sum of money .

After settling this matter, I happily play games .

At eleven o’clock, I decided to go downstairs to buy some delicious food to reward myself as I didn’t spend any money for dinner and didn’t have to pay for the exorcism .

“Eggplants, I have to have roasted eggplants…” I mutter as I rush out of the estate .

Before I can choose the barbecue stall, I see those punks again .

Among them, the hooligan nicknamed “Dani” is seriously handing out flyers .

His dyed, charred-yellow hair, eyebrows, and his introduction of the description of tutoring class form a strong contrast .

This tutoring class is interesting… I glance around and see an acquaintance sitting at the barbecue stall on the right .

Miss Bernie Huang!

How is a rich young lady like her eating at a roadside barbecue stall? Does CEO Huang know? I casually size up Miss Huang’s companion .

If it was a guy, hehe, that would be amazing gossip!

Uh, a girl wearing black-framed glasses . She’s not too old, about the same age as Miss Huang… I feel full of regret and was about to retract my gaze .

At this moment, Miss Huang raises her head and looks over .

At this moment, our eyes meet .

She immediately stands up and walks towards me .

This is a little awkward… However, there’s nothing to feel awkward about . I live nearby, so what’s wrong with coming out to eat some barbecue? I stand my ground and wait for Miss Huang and her friend to come over .

Miss Huang stops in front of me and tersely acknowledges my presence .

“I have something I need your help with . ”

The girl in black-framed glasses beside her asks curiously, “Father, who is he?”

Pfft… What kind of address is that? The relationship between youngsters nowadays is so complicated… I’m actually at a loss as to how to respond . I can only force the corners of my mouth to curl up as I express my doubts with a smile .

“We had a bet in our dorm . Whoever lost had to address the winner as father,” Miss Bernie Huang explains .

She points at the girl beside her .

“Her family runs a tutoring class .

“I would like you to register for the Dream Tutoring Classes and sit in for their classes .

“I’ll pay for it . I’ll also pay you a fee for the work you do later . ”

Register for the tutoring class… I can’t help but turn my head to look at the hooligans who are seriously handing out flyers .
