In the VIP suite 1105 in a five-star hotel, there were still ten minutes before midnight. Zhou Manqing had accompanied this Daoist priest for an entire afternoon and night. She was a little impatient, but when she thought about the malicious ghost, she suppressed the impatience and fear in her heart, and calmed down.
Her phone suddenly rang. Zhou Manqing picked up the call. It was Yu Rong. “Manqing, I have something on at the last minute and need to return to the company. Will you be alright? Is Master Fang still there?”
With someone else around, and it was even a Celestial Master, Zhou Manqing felt much more assured tonight. She said, “I’m fine. Alright, I understand!”
Afraid of disturbing Master Fang’s work, Zhou Manqing didn’t say much to her manager and directly hung up.
As she had been doing over the last few days, her gaze subconsciously fell on the clock hanging on the wall. As it ticked closer and closer to midnight, Zhou Manqing felt an inexplicable sense of uneasiness and anxiety.
Zhou Manqing consoled himself. Even if the malicious ghost came, Master Fang was still here. Yes, Master Fang was here. She had also bought quite a number of talismans from Master Fang. Zhou Manqing stared at Daoist Fang, who was sitting in front of the altar and muttering to himself, and heaved a sigh of relief.
The clock continued ticking. Zhou Manqing suddenly needed to go to the toilet.
Zhou Manqing called out softly to Master Fang a few times. Seeing that he didn’t respond, Zhou Manqing could only go to the washroom to use the toilet first.
As Zhou Manqing washed her hands, she subconsciously looked at herself in the mirror. She casually tidied up her appearance, and was about to leave.
Just as she was about to leave, Zhou Manqing’s body stiffened. Ever since the incident, she had switched hotels and rooms frequently. She clearly remembered that she had gotten the hotel to either block or cover all the mirrors.
She remembered that this mirror had been blocked this morning.
At that moment, Zhou Manqing’s face was stiff as she stared at her reflection in the mirror. Even though she didn’t see the thing on her left shoulder, her heart felt cold, as if the cold air of winter had seeped into her bones.
No, no, no, she must have remembered wrongly. She must have remembered wrongly.
The hotel staff probably neglected to cover it.
That must be it! Yes, that must be it!
Just as Zhou Manqing was about to go outside, the door creaked open in the empty living room, which was followed by the sound of someone wearing slippers. Soon, someone knocked on the bathroom door.
Zhou Manqing shuddered violently and her face turned pale. Her heart was pounding so hard that it felt like it was going to jump out of her chest at any moment, and her teeth chattered with fear. She gripped the side of the sink, her fingers turning white.
No, she had to calm down. She had to calm down.
Master Fang was still outside. Yes, Master Fang was still outside. She still had the talisman which Master Fang had given to her. She would be fine. She would be fine!
Zhou Manqing suppressed the fear and terror in her heart, and opened the washroom door. There was no one outside.
Zhou Manqing didn’t dare stay any longer, and immediately walked to the lounge.
Not far away from the altar, Master Fang was still sitting in the same position. Although Zhou Manqing couldn’t see what Master Fang was doing, she guessed that he was still chanting. Only then did she heave a sigh of relief.
“Master Fang! Master Fang! How much longer do you have to chant this spell?” Zhou Manqing walked over and asked softly. With a loud bang, the wind suddenly blew in through a window, causing the curtains to rustle.
