I Wasn't Born Lucky

Night time.

It was another night. The people in the hotel might hate the coming of the night but time didn't stop as they wanted. Instead, the fast forward button was pressed and in a moment, the sky completely darkened.

Perhaps it was to match the atmosphere but the rain never stopped.

Raindrops fell on the soil and onto the eaves, leaving large traces on the windows.

The thought of someone being killed by the evil spirit again caused everyone's hearts to be heavy.

Xiao Li took a shower, changed his clothes and even took a nap.

He didn't wake up naturally. He was awakened by a loud noise outside the door downstairs.

The sound was deafening, like thunder in his ears. It almost shook Xiao Li off the bed.

The tail of the little black cat lying on the pillow was raised upright and he was so scared that his rose rose and he let out a threatening hiss from his throat.

…Looking at this, it wasn't someone being noisy but a ghost.

Xiao Li simply changed out of his pyjamas and opened the door to go downstairs.

The sound was coming from the storage room behind the open building.

By the time Xiao Li followed the sound, the people living on the first floor had already taken the lead in surrounding it.

In the light of the cold light bulb of the corridor, the door protruded strangely outward. It was as if there was a mighty giant kicking from inside the room. There were some wood chips that had fallen from cracks in the door.

Xiao Li stood at the door and hadn't spoken yet when Shen Chenzhi reached out to hold a strand of his black hair, rolling it around the tip of his finger and pressing it down.

Xiao Li asked, "What is it?"

Why suddenly touch his head?

Shen Chenzhi let out a low laugh. "It is sticking up."

Xiao Li grabbed the piece of hair. There was indeed a handful of black hair standing up restlessly on his head. Perhaps it was because he didn't blow dry his hair before taking a nap.

Shen Chenzhi helped him press it down several times but didn't succeed.

Xiao Li covered his hair. "Forget it, now isn't the time to worry about this."

Sawdust filled the air like moths surrounding an incandescent lamp.

The sound of rain was thunderous.

"What's in here? How can it make such a sound?" A dark-skinned reincarnator asked.

Jiang Linwen stood on the outermost part of the crowd and declared coolly, "The body."

"…What?"

"Luo Ni's body was locked in here by us this morning." Ye Zeqing added.

Everyone sucked in a breath.

There was no other living thing in this storage room.

Then did it mean the loud noise heard just now by everyone was&#k2026;

Luo Ni’s body banging against the door?

Lin Ruo was the first to scream. “I-Isn’t he dead?”

The little girl tightly grabbed her older brother’s clothes but the other party didn’t have time to comfort her. He himself was in a state of fear.

Apart from them, the rest of the reincarnators were frowning.

Jiang Linwen had seen everyone's expression. "It is a ghost. This place is haunted."

"So what do we do now?" President Hu questioned.

Jiang Linwen pondered on it. Right now, the door couldn't be opened. If the thing inside was really 'alive' then it was trapped. Now the best way was to reinforce the door from outside…

Jiang Linwen still hadn't come up with a perfect method when he saw someone squeeze out from the group.

This man looked good with dark hair and black eyes. He was extremely conspicuous at first glance but none of this compared to his actions.

He came to the door and reached out to fiddle with the smile lock. It seemed that he was about to twist the lock and open the door of the storage room.

It was Hercule, who Jiang Linwen thought was likely to be the evil spirit.

Jiang Linwen feared he was an evil spirit and stopped him without thinking. "You wait—"

However, Xiao Li flexibly opened the small locked and pushed open the door.

Jiang Linwen had to swallow the rest of his words.

Behind the door, Luo Ni's body was lying straight toward the door.

The corpse's head was close to the door of the room and the forehead was deflated. Both hands were pressed against the ground and the eyes were wide open, as if the loud noise was Luo Ni bumping it with his head.

Only now he wasn't moving.

Xiao Li turned back and asked Ye Zeqing, "What was his posture when you moved him over here?"

Ye Zeqing's expression was somewhat unstable but fortunately, Xiao Li gave him a sense of security. He recalled it. "On his back and lying face up, in the innermost corner with his eyes closed."

Xiao Li asked, "Can you feel a ghost?"

"No."

Xiao Li kicked the body and it didn't react.

Jiang Linwen at the door, "……"

He was stunned by this wild action.

Xiao Li thought about it. Then he walked into the depths of the storage room, pulled out a straw rope from a mahogany cabinet, dragged Luo Ni's body inside and tied it together. Then he tied a tight knot.

Any living person tied this way would have to do their best to break the rope first before hitting the door again.

If Luo Ni's body could move again then it was really great.

Xiao Li was satisfied with his achievement and clapped.

He walked out of the storage room, locked the door again and turned back. "Okay, you can go back to sleep."

Jiang Linwen's eyes narrowed. He stared at the person in front of him carefully and his words were stuck in his throat.

If this man was the evil spirit, he could identify him now and avoid another death tonight.

He felt that this name was right. However, if he said it and it was a mistake then he would die…

Just as Jiang Linwen was hesitating, Ye Zeqing patted him on the shoulder.

Jiang Linwen looked back and listened to Ye Zeqing's deep voice. "I don't think you are the evil spirit so I will give you advice."

"What is it?"

Ye Zeqing said, "Based on the way you've been looking at him, do you suspect he is the evil spirit?"

Jiang Linwen was accurately poked and remained silent.

Ye Zeqing continued, "Don't try to identify him. Go to the forum and search for him. Then you will understand."

"Forum?"

"The forum function of the task book." Ye Zeqing took advantage of this opportunity to promote someone. "Also, look up Moriarty."

On the other side, Zheng Yi heard his words and inserted a sentence, "Why didn't you say Sherlock?"

Jiang Linwen, "……"

Check it, he would check it okay?

***

On the other side, in the toilet in the lobby.

Xiao Li opened the tap, got some water on his fingertips and started to fiddle with his stuck up hair.

He didn't know how he slept but this piece of hair was very stubborn. It wouldn't bend down even with water.

The light in this toilet was different from the lobby. It was yellowish and reflected a dark halo on the surrounding tiles.

"Slam—"

A violent wind blew through the lobby and firmly closed the toilet door, blocking Xiao Li's retreat.

Xiao Li was startled by the sound. He closed the tap and looked up at the closed door.

The mirror of the sink reflected the teenager's face as well as the entire dark toilet.

There was a sound from the sewer pipes like something was rushing out.

The sound grew louder and overcame the storm.

A thick strand of hair drilled out of the mouth of the pipe. It curled and intertwined as it climbed out like a lump of grass. Two eyes flashed in the middle. It was a completely indescribably thing.

Xiao Li and the eyes stared at each other. At first, it was okay but then Xiao Li became excited like he thought of something.

The eyes in the hair flashed.

Was it an illusion? Why did this person look at it like… it was a green light?

The ghost's confusion didn't affect its next move. The hair curled in the air and swept toward Xiao Li like an octopus' tentacles.

Xiao Li smiled and took a step back, giving the stage to the waiting person.

One hand caught the hair. Not only that, the hand pressed it against the tap and circled it around the tap.

Behind the mass of hair, a faint crying sound was getting closer and closer. The weeping woman had come.

Xiao Li spoke in a relaxed tone, "The wig for you has been found. You can't take revenge anymore."

The hair ghost: ???

…What wig?

In addition, why did so many people appear? Wasn't there only one human when it came out?

The crying woman came over and stopped crying. She grabbed the hair ghost and placed it on her head. She fiddled with the hair before suddenly wondering, "Why is it so frizzy?"

There wasn't the softness of her own hair.

The rejected ghost, "………."

If it was more fragile then it would jump off the building!

The author has something to say:

@Say it to Hercule Bot. I, hair ghost, complain under my real name.

In every horror studio, I am cautious and diligent. I am able to reap heads and screams every time. However, Hercule treated me like this. He held my hair and in the blink of an eye, I shed two lines of tears.
