Chapter 332 Ten Ways To Meet Ghosts
Blake went numb. Not again!
Lily woke up. “What the…?” she mumbled. “Daddy, where are we?” she asked Blake. Blake explained that an accident happened on the other side of the road on their way back home. A concrete truck accelerated when the traffic light was about to turn red and hit a small motorbike that ran a red light from the other side. The motorbike rider flew across the street and landed on Blake’s car hood. Not only the rider broke the windshield, he even came eye-to-eye with Blake before he died.
Soon, the police came. They took a statement from Blake. On his way home with Lily, Blake could not shake off the image of the victim’s bulging eyes at his last moment. Blake felt like the ghost of the victim followed him home.
At home, Bettany would not stop complaining. “Stop teaching Lily all that nonsense. I would not forgive you if you made her into some weirdo. Are you listening, Blake?”
“Oh? Yes, of course.” Blake answered mindlessly.
Bettany stared at Blake. “What did I say just now?”
“Stop teaching Lily all those nonsense. You would not forgive me if I made her into some weirdo,” said Blake in a lazy tone, making Bettany more furious.
Josh was astonished at Blake’s ability to reiterate what Bettany said exactly, even though his mind was elsewhere.
Blake went to Lily after they had dinner. “Lily, can you each me how to exorcise?” he asked.
“Don’t worry, Dad. There’s no ghost following you.” Lily patted Blake’s shoulder. However, Blake looked unconvinced.
“Dad, are you afraid?” asked Lily innocently. Blake scoffed. He had seen enough dead people on the battlefield.
Blake stayed with Lily until she fell asleep before he went back to his room.
In the middle of the night, Blake opened his eyes when he felt the air around him turn chilly. Then, he saw the victim from the accident staring at him with bulging eyes. Blake sat up abruptly.
It was only a dream.
Dad, are you afraid? Blake recalled what Lily had asked him. He lost his desire to sleep, so he turned on the light and took out a book titled Ten Ways to Meet Ghosts. He got the book from a flea market. The seller claimed he wrote the book and other interesting titles, such as How to Strech Five Dollars for a Week. Becoming a Deity, etc. Blake was amused, so he bought a book from him.
The book wrote:
“Open a black umbrella in the corridor. Walk straight ahead and do not look back. Stop and open your legs. Bend down and look back between your legs.”
That’s ridiculous.
Then, Blake “dropped” a pen. He bent down to pick up the pen and looked between his legs. There was nothing behind him.
JUZ
Of course, that man is a fraud.
Blake shook his head and put the pen away. Somehow he felt the pen move a little. Therefore, Blake stood up calmly, walked straight to Lily’s room and lay down. He finally felt at ease.
Hmm, Lily’s bed is the best.
At that moment, Lily turned and felt Blake. “Dad?” she asked.
I just want to check on you. Go sleep,” said Blake.
Lily was confused. She had been sleeping alone for some time already. She wondered why her dad. suddenly checked on her. However, she was too tired to think, so she fell back to sleep while holding her dad.
Blake felt safe with Lily’s arm around him like he was protected by an exorcize evil spell. He fell asleep immediately.
A pair of footprints appeared outside of the door. It went away shortly like it was afraid of something.
