Chapter 46 - Story of the little coward who contracted the ghost 2

In the bathroom on the fourth floor of the art building, Qin Lang carefully washed his hands with soap, but foam that came out of his slippery hands was gray-black.

Qin Lang frowned and put his hands under the faucet to rinse off. A cold wind swept across his body, Qin Lang’s body stiffened for a moment, then he turned off the water tap, and squeezed out the tissue in the bag with two fingers to dry his hands.

Without changing expression, he threw the soaked paper into the trash can beside his feet, and then walked unhurriedly towards the stairs.

‘Da da da’, the same pace, the same frequency, as if imitating him. Qin Lang slowed down, and the echo in the corridor also slowed down.

As if Qin Lang didn’t notice anything, he lowered his head and took out his mobile phone, plugged in his earphones, and listened to a random song. There was no expression on his face, but he couldn’t help but sing along with this dynamic song in his heart.

“System system, ‘Genghis Khan’ is so brainwashed, hahaha.” Qin Lang laughed.

The system pondered for a moment. He couldn’t help remind him: “Well… Shall I tell you that there is a cute guy behind you?”

Qin Lang: “…” Wouldn’t it be better for him to ignore it? Wouldn’t it be better for him to pretend he didn’t see anything? Why tell him? This spicy chicken system has no love at all.

The system said earnestly: “Hey, dear host, you have to face it all the time now. You are born with yin and yang eyes. You have to get used to it, otherwise how will you face your old gong?”

Qin Lang said blankly: “You can do it?”

The system wisely chose to shut up.

Qin Lang was not afraid, but felt strange. He is from the S era with great science. They have to give him some time to adapt to these supernatural events, right?

1, 2, 3. Qin Lang silently counted three, inhaled, and stopped.

Sure enough, the echo that seemed to follow his footsteps also stopped. Qin Lang straightened his back, turned his head slowly, and looked indifferently at the kid who was sticking out his long tongue, trying to scare him.

Qin Lang squinted his eyes. His psychological acceptance seems to be quite good? Sure enough, the fear is just a psychological suggestion. The kid in front of him, scary level is not as good as his company’s holographic horror game. The cold President Qin is proud. It seems the adapting period is done.

He smiled grimly. His dark eyes stared straight at the bloody eyes of the kid. The kid stiffened for a moment. He somehow felt a little cold around him, although he had been cold for a long time now.

“Go away.” Qin Lang’s thin lips moved slightly, he threatened ruthlessly, “If you dare to follow me again, I will crush your soul.”

In the empty dim hallway, although Qin Lang spoke lightly, the kid still felt the trembling from his soul.

The dynamic song was still ringing in Qin Lang’s ears. He stood in the corridor, touched his chin, and suddenly smiled evilly, as if he had found something very interesting. The other little devils hiding in the wall shivered with fear because of Qin Lang’s smile.

System: “…” His host probably won’t go over to scare the ghost for fun, right?

However, in the next moment, he heard his host say: “System, I’m sick.”

System: “…” The host suddenly admitted so bluntly that he was speechless.

Qin Lang looked at his pale, almost bloodless cold hands, his body that was so weak that he was vulnerable, and said slowly: “In the darkness and despair where the sun cannot be seen, everyone will create a demon. Powerful, indifferent, bloodthirsty and arrogant, no one is allowed to scorn them.”

The system was full of question marks: “What are you talking about?”

Qin Lang smiled and said, “I want to add drama to myself.”

??? The system is still full of question marks.

Qin Lang put his hand in his down jacket pocket. His slightly long hair on his forehead covered his eyes. Walking out of the art building, in this gloomy weather, he seems to have no sense of existence among the students who come and go. No matter how wide the road is, he just walks on the edge with his head down. If anyone touches him accidentally, he will reflectively shrinked his neck with his pale lips trembling.

This is the original owner, a cowardly, timid, weak and pitiful character. He lives everyday under the cloud with no sunlight at all.

Qin Lang doesn’t live in the school dormitory. His roommates and those people, who come and go in and out of the dormitory building, make him afraid. In severe cases, he will experience dizziness and vomit.

Although his father was indifferent to him, at least he did not brush him aside in life. Because of his illness, his father’s secretary rented a secluded place for him near the school.

Think that’s good enough? Wrong, there is no harm if there is no comparison. For his half-brother, his father directly bought a high-end apartment, which was also near the school. One rent and the other buy, as if it wasn’t conspicuous.

The bad brother is called Qin Yang. He was originally one year younger than Qin Lang, but because of his excellent grades, he skipped one grade and was admitted to Z University in the same year as the original owner.

Qin Yang chose the same art major as the original owner with bad intentions. From time to time he would deliberately show up around the original owner with his buddies, and then admire the original owner’s trembling and pale face.

Qin Yang is not in the studio today because he and his friends were too drunk to come.

The original owner’s residence is indeed very secluded, even though it is very close to the school. The owner of the small residence has long settled abroad. The reason why it has become a scary place is because of the previous tenant. The tenant’s family of four all died in this small house.

A haunted house is not easy to rent or sell, but they can deceive students from other places and lower the rent again and again.

It is impossible for the secretary who rented the house to the original owner to not know the rumors about this yard. This was obviously the original owner’s stepmother and younger brother’s intent. They couldn’t openly kick out the original owner, so they left him here alone to fend for himself.

And the original owner’s inattentive father has obviously never visited or asked about his living environment.

Ugh. Qin Lang entered the door and sighed as he glanced at the dark air filled small room, how pitiful.

Qin Lang changed his shoes, turned on the heater, and watched the lights in the room flicker without changing his expression.

Qin Lang snorted coldly, “Get out or don’t blame me for being cruel.”

The shivering child who would run into the bedroom as soon as he got home everyday suddenly became tougher. The child’s face was pale and his figure was thin so it looked like he was just bluffing.

Thinking of this, a figure faintly appeared in the dimly lit light. She had long hair with white clothes, her dead white face made it difficult to see clearly.

The wind in the small house was even more unpleasant. The wind seemed to be able to pass through the walls and windows, as it even caused a gust of wind to blow into the room, lifting the figure’s white robe. The scene would seem more sad if one ignored her increasingly horrifying face.

Qin Lang just stood there quietly, looking as if he was frightened.

The figure grinned, and suddenly opened her bright red fingers and rushed towards Qin Lang.

“Ah—” The miserable cry did not belong to Qin Lang. Before the figure could touch Qin Lang, a golden light covered his fingers.

“What are you carrying on your body?” the figure asked in pain. The pain from her burning fingers and the constant bleeding caused her face to twist.

But that’s not all. The timid child in the past suddenly grabbed her throat with his bare hands. The suffocation and oppression that she could still experience after her death made her tremble and subconsciously began to beg for mercy: “Sir… Cough cough… lord, spare me… please…”

Qin Lang squinted and scrutinized her. His strength did not increase, but he did not intend to let her go, “You’re the one who bullied Xiao Lang?”

The system that was eating melons and watched nearly drop the melon: “What? Xiao Lang? Isn’t it you?”

“Xiao Lang? Who is Xiao Lang? I don’t know…” As soon as the female ghost finished speaking, she felt the pain on her neck getting worse and worse, she struggled, “Sir, forgive me…I…I only came yesterday…I don’t know at all…”

Qin Lang stopped moving, “You just arrived yesterday?”

The female ghost nodded, her eyes filled with bloody tears. She rolled her eyes and thought of something, then hurriedly said: “If you mean the ghost who used to live in this small courtyard, I know where he is.”

“Where? ” The murderous aura in Qin Lang’s eyes gradually increased.

“He left two days ago, going to the south. Sir must have not known that the old ghost was very fierce. All the four members of the family who lived here were killed by him. The place he went to this time was also a haunted residence.” After she finished speaking, she looked at Qin Lang begging, “Sir, I have told you everything I know. I beg you to move your hand and let me go…”

“Heh,” Qin Lang’s five fingers gradually tighten, “So, I lived here for half a year and the old ghost failed. Where did you get the confidence to try to eat me?”

“This time I will teach you a lesson. See if you dare to come again…Heh.”

The female ghost struggled. Just when she felt that her soul was about to be crushed, the restraint on her neck suddenly loosened. She didn’t have time to see the expression of this terrifying child before hurriedly ran away. The ghost was scared to death. She wouldn’t dare to come again in the future. It’s just a pity that this person is so rich in yin. If she can eat him, she will definitely be able to make up for it.

Forget it, compared to this, the most important thing is to save her ghost’s life. Don’t care about others.

After the female ghost left, the lights in the room were also recovered, turning bright. Qin Lang entered the bedroom and dragged out an old box from under the bed.

The system has been yelling for a long time: “What the hell? You are so crazy and cool, this is obviously a serious OOC! Why didn’t it judge? This is unscientific, ah? And who did you just say, Xiao Lang? Please explain! Host! Explain to me!”

Qin Lang frowned and took care of the dust on the box, then finally opened his mouth: “Didn’t I say it? I am sick, a mental illness, not only social phobia, but also split personality. I am the second personality that was born to protect the weak and poor Xiao Lang, of course I won’t be OOC.”

System: “……” Words can no longer express the galloping mud horse in his heart at the moment.

What the fuck, this is okay?

Qin Lang went to the bathroom to get a towel again, and wiped the box clean, then continued: “The original owner lives in darkness and fear every day. Facing such ruthless family members, indifferent classmates, and the expressions of ridicule and disgust from others, he yearns for a ray of sunshine and redemption all the time. Unfortunately, no one helped him. He had to rely on pills and hide his abilities to adapt to this malicious world.”

“Is he incompetent? No, he is very strong, and he is more diligent from his grandfather’s teaching. Does he have low self-esteem? No, he is very proud, otherwise he would not work so hard to go to school and live like a normal person. He will stand their different gazes for fear of being treated as a mental patient. The tragic death of his grandfather, the death of his mother. After his mother’s death, his father couldn’t wait to let the mistress and his illegitimate son take everything from him. He has been tortured by all kind of depression for a long time. This also made him realize that no one can save him, only he can protect himself. And so, the second personality appeared.”

“The second personality is powerful and indifferent, trying to avenge those people and ghosts who have hurt Xiao Lang. But he usually doesn’t show up. He only comes out when Xiao Lang is extremely scared.” Qin Lang opened the combination lock of the box from the original owner’s memories. He smiled at the various instruments in the box, “If I have to completely immerse myself into the original owner’s little cowardly personality, I think it’s too embarrassing. But this way, without being OOC, I can still act strong at any time, am I very witty?”

The system wipes his sweat: “Actually, the latter sentence being able to act is the key, right?”

System: Hehe, the great actor Qin has already been online. Should I consider buying the host an insurance against true split personality? Just in case he really has it, ne?
