I heard that I’ll be super fierce after my death - Chapter 43

Chapter 43: Another Ghost Lift?

“But I still have to remind you about something.”

Li Mu patted Lin Wu’s shoulder. He wore a hint of a smile as he said, “The eyes are the windows to the soul. When you’re lying, don’t avert your gaze. Look more firm, don’t be betrayed by your own eyes.

“I’m not an actor…” Lin Wu was speechless.

“That’s true.” Li Mu nodded and then took out a pair of black sunglasses from his shirt’s pocket. He put it onto Lin Wu’s nose, saying with a smile, “Take it as a gift.”

Lin Wu’s vision suddenly turned dark, and he couldn’t help but ask, “Why are you giving me sunglasses? I’m not famous yet. I don’t have to keep such a low-profile, right?”

“Heh, I’m teaching you a way to practice how to lie without others seeing through you.”

Li Mu’s lips curled up. “Maintain a habit of wearing sunglasses. This way, when your gaze meets others, you won’t feel unnatural as long as you have your sunglasses on. Moreover, you can be unrestrained in observing others. After you get into this habit, even if you were to take off your sunglasses, your mind would be a lot stronger than before. With that, you won’t feel anything when you exchange gazes with others.”

Lin Wu let out a ‘hmmm’ sound. He then nodded and said, “That’s a good method. Did you come up with it?”

Li Mu grinned and said, “I had no choice. When I went shopping with my ex-wife, with there so many beauties on the street, wouldn’t it be torture to not even be able to look at them?”

“…”

Lin Wu was speechless and couldn’t help but roll his eyes. Were this person’s eyes only filled with naked women?

“Look, this looks quite good.” Li Mu made tsk sounds and nodded. “After you put on the sunglasses, although I know that you’re rolling your eyes and are cursing me in your heart, I can’t see your eyes and can’t be sure.”

“…”

(You must have the ability to read minds!)

“That’s enough, I’ll go in and take her statement. Go and buy the walking cane.” Li Mu waved his hand and turned to enter the ward.

Lin Wu pushed up the sunglasses, pretended to check his phone while glancing at a young nurse passing by, and rapidly assessed her——

Short legs, thick waist, slightly plump, D-cup, above-average looks.

Sorry to disturb.

His Li Luyao was more beautiful.

The young nurse had no idea that she had been assessed from top to bottom and only threw a strange glance at Lin Wu. She might have felt that it was strange for someone to be wearing sunglasses indoors.

“Not bad.”

Lin Wu suddenly felt that sunglasses were a good thing. He couldn’t help but nod. He then turned toward the hospital’s lift to go and buy a walking cane.

…

…

20 minutes later.

Lin Wu held onto the walking cane he bought and returned to the hospital. He pressed the button when the lift was on the first floor and then quietly waited.

Very soon, the doors to the lift opened, and Lin Wu entered.

There was a lady with a ghastly complexion who was wearing a big mask, revealing only a pair of listless and dull eyes. She lowered her head slightly, and her hands were dangling on both sides.

When Lin Wu saw that there was someone else in the lift, he was slightly stunned.

Wasn’t this the first floor?

Why was there still someone in the lift?

Lin Wu threw a glance at the buttons, feeling puzzled. The last button was ‘-1’.

Alright, it seemed that this woman came from the basement floor.

If he didn’t remember wrongly, the basement of the Su City’s General Hospital should be the mortuary. Why did this lady go there?

Lin Wu didn’t give it much thought. He reached out his hand and pressed on level 5. He then asked the lady, “Which floor are you heading to?”

Hearing that, the lady wearing a mask slowly looked up and assessed him with her slightly dim eyes. She asked in surprise, “You can see me?”

Her voice was hoarse and low, but it gave off a bone-chilling piece of information.

“…”

Was he not supposed to be able to see her?

Lin Wu’s heart sank, and he couldn’t help but feel a shiver.

The experiences he had been through over the past few days let him understand——

That there were ghosts in this world!

And right now, a strange woman with ghastly complexion had suddenly come from the mortuary. Moreover, her dressing didn’t seem to be that of a doctor, and there was no glow in her eyes. Also, the temperature in the lift was clearly cold…

There was a high probability that this woman was a ghost that had come out from the mortuary!

Lin Wu felt a little speechless.

Was there an end to this?

Why had he been meeting ghosts every day over recently?

Moreover… It was another ghost in the lift?

(Can you ghosts appear in other locations? Can there be some novelty to things?)

If he wrote his novels with the same plot, the readers would probably lash out at him. Liuli might even reach out her hand from the screen!

However, Lin Wu found this a little strange. Why was he able to see this female ghost?

By right, one would need to have a certain level of connection with the ghosts to be able to see them.

Cough it be… it was another one of his wives?

This thought flashed past Lin Wu’s mind, but he immediately dismissed it. It couldn’t be that every female ghost he encountered would all be his wives.

Regardless, Lin Wu was unwilling to stay in the same lift with a ghost of unknown background. What if something were to happen?

Should he exit from the lift right away?

Would this female ghost stop him from leaving?

Within a mere few seconds, Lin Wu’s brain had been spinning rapidly for the nth time.

Just as he was about to leave the lift, the female ghost’s voice rang out from behind him, “I’m also heading to the fifth floor. There’s no need to press the buttons.”

Lin Wu’s heart sank, and he couldn’t help but tighten his grip on the walking cane.

Was this female ghost going to follow him?

The lift rose slowly.

Lin Wu grabbed onto the walking cane tightly. Although physical attacks were useless on ghosts, and his attacks might all be misses, it was at least better than not having a weapon. What if there was some kind of repelling effect?

His heart thumped crazily.

He felt jittery and uneasy and didn’t even dare to breathe too hard.

First floor… second floor… third floor…

When the lift reached the third floor, Lin Wu heard a low panting coming from behind him. A hand suddenly landed on his shoulder, the fingers gripping tightly onto him!

Even through his clothes, he was able to feel the coolness coming from the hand!

Was she finally unable to hold back and was going to make a move?

Lin Wu shuddered. He grabbed onto the cane tightly and turned to look——

The female ghost’s eyes rolled back, and there was almost just the white left. Together with her extremely pale skin, it made Lin Wu so scared that his heart almost stopped beating.

“Scram!”

Lin Wu clenched his teeth and turned abruptly, his hands holding onto the cane as if using it as a block. He then pushed hard toward the female ghost!

It was impossible for physical attacks to harm ghosts, which were ethereal existences. However, it might still be possible to shove them off.

This was the conclusion Lin Wu had come to from his experience in a certain xianxia-type online game.

Shoving skill, activated!

At the next instant, Lin Wu shoved out the cane, knocking it into the female ghost’s chest. Her breasts also sank in.

Lin Wu was stunned by the strange touch.

Pushed by the cane, the ‘female ghost’ fell backward defenselessly, bumping against the lift’s wall. She let out a cry and fell onto her butt.

“Urgh?”

Lin Wu was instantly stunned. “It’s a living person?”
