The Realm Of Evil Spirits Volume 1 Chapter 6
Chapter Six Helpless Choice
As not to bother his mother,Xia didn't tell his mom what happened yesterday.
It was no better even if he had told his mom who was merely a high school Chinese teacher that was no more different that the most common one.
Of course,it's the worse of the worse that his grandpa went to travelling at this very moment when he encountered trouble,and he completely couldn't contact his grandpa.
His grandfather was eccentric,known as "kidult"in his circle of friendship.A "kidult"but obstinate person,he always did what he wanted to do that no one could change his mind.
Sitting in the rushing taxi,Xia thought a lot all the way,but when he got of the cab,he had forgot all about it.
Arriving at the Gold office building the second time,he felt no excitement as the first time but only anxiety.
One reason he returned here was getting his cell phone back,but what more significant was making the man answer his questions.
Having no evidence,he had a feeling what happened recently had connotative a.s.sociations with the man,no,the mysterious company to be more precise.
With dozens of queries,Xia found himself having arrived at the 33th floor where the company located.
As same as the last time,it was no sooner he got out of the elevator than he found the man was waiting for him.
"Come with me."
The middle-aged man still didn't say much.He turned around as soon as seeing Xia's arrival.
"f.u.c.k,f.u.c.k you!"
Xia murmured,but he tagged along the man still,looking around.
It was as normal as other ordinary office area,merely luxury decorated.The part.i.tions were not transparent,but each was independent with doors and walls.
It was entirely not clear what kind of people working here or whether there were staff in the office.
Not walking for a long distance,the two entered a luxury-decorated office.
It was s.p.a.cious and with several calligraphy and paintings on the wall from which Xia could learn the taste of the man.
Xia sat in the sofa without request,then speak down to the point.
"Regardless the cell phone,you have to answer my questions below!"
He said firmly,giving no chance for the man to refuse.Of course,whether the man took it seriously was another thing.
"What do you want to know?"The man asked with a plain tone.
"I want to know more about you and this company!"Xia spat out his first query.
"You have no qualification to know this yet,I can't tell you."The man answered promptly.
Refused by the man,Xia felt the anger mounting up within him.
"Can't tell this and no qualification to that!Well...I ask only one question,you tell me,what it is you can tell me?"
The man profoundly look at Xia who was furious now,after a short silence,he said slowly."I will only say this once.I hope you will not interrupt me."
Xia nodded impatiently,if nothing happened,he certainly wouldn't break in.
"You have encountered strange things that you can't understand at the night in Xinhua Big bookstore and yesterday,or let's so,the ghosts,right?"
"You already know these things!"
Hearing the man talking about what he encountered before,he exclaimed loudly.But he soon shut up as remembered what the man noted before,gesturing the man to go on.
The man paused,then said."I can only give you a caution,or,you can regard it as an advice."
"If you don't go back to your position and come up with a idea to complete your probation,then you will not escape from the doom tonight,though you get some"gadgets"with you.I think you can understand what I mean"
Xia looked at the man vacantly,nodded dully at first and then asked uncertainly."You mean,I met the ghosts because I didn't went to watching in the bookstore."
"You can explain by this away."The man nodded for sure.
Seeing this,Xia asked again."Is that to say that I won't meet the ghosts if I returned to the bookstore and watching there?"
"Don't be silly,to this regard,you know the answer with your heart."The man's word poured could water him.
His heart began to flutter fiercely.He continued to took deep breath with hand covering his chest.It was not until a long time that he said hardy."The bookstore was haunted,right?And the ghost was Zhangtianshun.The corpses I saw that night was all cruelly slayed by him.I would have escaped,if not for the amulets' effect my grandpa giving me which saved my life."
The more he said,the more angry he grew,at last he railed."Going or not going to the bookstore,I will be killed anyway.You are drawing me to the h.e.l.l!Have I offend you or your family.I have nothing against you.why do you do this to me?"
"It is you,yourself,chose the way and signed the contract.No one forced and singed it with your name.Besides,no one said it will be absolute dead-end to watch in the bookstore. "
The man said with an imperceptible sneer on his face.
"Isn't it?"
"Is it?"The man asked back."Have I said they can't be resisted? "
Xia was inspired with the man's words.Instead of hating eyes,he looked the man in debonair.
"Please,please tell me how can I defeat them!"
"No way,you should come up with a strategy on your own.As for the secret of the company,if you can become a regular member successfully,you will know it.Well,leave with your cell phone,I will take two recruits there later."
Then,the man approached Xia and handed over his cell phone.He seemed to recalled something,looked up and said."There were things that secular strength can't step in,so they need people like us."
Then,the man threw a set of car keys to him.
"Your car keys.Give back to you."
Xia was in thrall of the talk with the man just now,so he didn't know how he got out of the building.
Sitting on the front step of the Gold office building,his mind was fluctuating like tide.
This journey to the building unveiled something for him.
First was the dilemma he in——Meeting his doom in the bookstore or waiting for the death without doing anything.
The two choice,according to the man's caution,in which the former would be a close shave,and the later would be a dead death.
Knowing he has amulets with him,the middle-aged man came to the conclusion which made it clear that he wouldn't have get through this even if with his grandpa's help.
Besides,he didn't want to make his family worried and involved in danger.
The reason why he was haunted was more clear.It was probably because he pa.s.sed the interview and signed the"ghost contract"!
So he had to obey the company's order,returning to the bookstore to be on duty.
At last,only when he pa.s.sed the probation period and became the regular staff can he know the company's secret.
He was presently not sure about whether he could pa.s.s the text.
With so much confusions unlocked,he at least make it clear of his situation now,not like before,b.u.mping around disorderly.
He knew what he should do next,that is simply watching at the bookstore,figuring out a measure to deal with the ghosts and surviving in this quandary.
The middle-aged man didn't tell him what to do to cop with the ghosts,but he did a.s.sure him that the ghosts were not invincible which was the key point.
That was to say,if only he found the right method he could wipe them out !
