“Damn Fatty, just talk. There is no need to sing for me.” Su Bai glanced at the little fella who was sleeping soundly on Aroma’s shoulder. “How the hell am I going to sing this song to my son in the future?”

“Cheh, you’re still on about that.” Fatty did not take it to heart. Munching sounds still could be heard; he should be eating while talking to Su Bai on the phone.

“Why didn’t Dreadful Radio issue a reality task to me?” Su Bai asked. He remembered that a reality task was issued for Wang Xue’s case.

“Oh, perhaps Dreadful Radio finds it a trivial matter. You have to know that there are people dying every second and every minute in this world. Some people’s death might attract political upheaval, other people’s death are no different from any cat or dog which died on the streets.”

“En, what I mean is, god knows what Dreadful Radio is thinking. There might be another possibility: the reality task had been issued, but not to you.”

“That ghost, what you mean to say is that it is a child?”

“En, should be below fifteen years old. However, I can still give you a suggestion if you really plan to intervene.” Fatty started gulping down his soup. “I really like winter melon pork rib soup, nourishment to the skin.”

Su Bai chuckled. “A little child died and was hung right in front of you. I don’t believe you could be so nonchalant.”

“Heavens, Ah Bai, have you been possessed by Moses? Seems like even you have a holy side to you. Fine, don’t tell me you had been treating everyone in story world as NPCs and killed them that way.

“Ok, ok, fine, you are right. If I encountered such thing, I would also intervene since it involves a one-year old child. Ehem, but, it did not happen right in front of me, I won’t feel annoyed by it. Who asked me to be so lucky, right?”

“Tell me,” Su Bai said.

“Fine, promise me one thing.” Fatty wiped his mouth as he spoke.

“Speak.”

“Help me kill that bastard. Do not allow him to receive judgement from the law. Firstly, kick his balls until it burst and then shatter his heart.”

“You mean to say that there is a human behind this?”

“Sure, someone who breeds ghost. You still don’t understand after I said this? It’s so obvious, that ghost is here to find friends. If it had the ability to cause destruction, Dreadful Radio would have issued a really task long ago and give you a chance to get in its good graces.

“I guess that the ghost is just a helper. The person behind the scenes is the real perpetrator.”

“But…”

“Uhuh, there are some ghost who could obstruct the eyes of normal humans, including… cameras.”

“Alright, thanks Fatty, I owe you one.”

“Don’t. This is not considered owing a favor. I cannot stand scum who kills a little baby. I am also considered accumulating merit, limitlessly honored in the motherf*cking heavens!”

Su Bai ended the call. He looked towards Chu Zhao and Aroma.

“There are some clues. Someone bred a ghost to kill.”

“Breeding a ghost to kill?” Aroma found it incomprehensible. “There are still such things in the real world?”

Su Bai pointed towards Chu Zhao. “Didn’t he just get approached by a ghost?”

Chu Zhao’s expression changed but he did not utter a single word.

Aroma gently poked Su Bai, hinting him to watch his words but Su Bai only smiled. He did not pour salt on Chu Zhao’s wounds on purpose. Regardless whether Chu Zhao managed to walk out of that predicament, it was Chu Zhao’s own responsibility. The future story worlds would have many traps which were directed at the vulnerability of the audience’s hearts. If Chu Zhao could not walk out of it, it would be a weakness which would cost him his life.

“By temporarily excluding the unseen murderer, then, there would be clues once the police checked the deceased’s social circles. That female staff must have found out about something or she had seen the murderer which was the person who had bred the ghost.”

“Oh right. That ghost could avoid the cameras. The facial recognition system you police are so proud of might not be of much use.”

Su Bai indicated Aroma to get in the car after he finished speaking. He started the car, waved at Chu Zhao and left.

Along the way, Aroma asked in confusion, “You are just leaving Chu Zhao all alone over there?”

Su Bai lit a cigarette. With one hand holding the steering wheel and the other hand holding the cigarette, he puffed out some smoke and yawned. “We will head back there after we send the little fella home.”

“There are clues?”

“Nope. Why wouldn’t I tell Chu Zhao if I found any clues?”

“Actually, Su Bai, I am curious. Why are you so involved in this case?” Aroma couldn’t comprehend, “Don’t misunderstand, I just feel that you and I as well as the others, we are actually…”

“Do you feel that I am overly involved?” Su Bai asked.

Aroma nodded her head.

“Heh heh, think for yourself. What type ending would it be if I had left the little fella over there to be cared for and we had headed for our meal?”

Aroma did not continue talking. She could feel what that child meant to Su Bai. Aroma was unsure whether the child was Su Bai’s biological child, but Su Bai had totally treated him like one of his own.

“That’s why, by just a momentary slip, it wouldn’t be one child hung in the washroom cubicle, it would be two.” Su Bai turned his head and gazed at the little fella who was sleeping soundly.

At the beginning, this child had moved his delicate body and crawled into the demon cave on his own accord just to save Su Bai after knowing the situation from the monk Seven and Gyatso.

Su Bai owed him a life!

Su Bai at that moment was like a tiger whose tail was stepped on. The little fella was Su Bai’s reverse scale. He would not hesitate to eliminate anything which brought harm to the little fella.

That was the authority of a father and also the responsibility of a father.

After reaching home, Su Bai opened the grill while carrying the little fella and headed to the second floor.

The bedroom lights were switched on. Lucky was lying on the study table and the table lamp was on. That cat had been addicted to that painting of late.

Su Bai placed the little fella on the bed and walked towards Lucky. He then stroked Lucky’s tail.

“He did not eat any dinner. You prepare something for him to eat and drink later, I have something to settle and will take my leave.”

After Su Bai finished briefing, he walked out of the house and got into the car.

“Where are we going?” Aroma had been sitting in the car.

“To find the murderer,” Su Bai said.

“Murderer?” Aroma was a little surprised, “Didn’t you say that there were no clues?”

“I have no clues, but that does not mean others do not.” Su Bai switched on his phone. The picture of the child being hung was on the screen. There were some details which others might not notice. Of course, even if they noticed, they wouldn’t know the meaning of it. However, Su Bai was well aware because he had just experienced the method of tying the knot and the material of the rope.

He took out a name card from his pocket. Su Bai never expected that he would be back at that place so soon. Had it even been 24 hours?

He drove his car and headed towards Prince Tower. He gave Ying Ying’er a call but the phone was switched off. Su Bai didn’t know if Ying Ying’er would still be at her office since it was already night time.

He got into the elevator with Aroma. After reaching that floor, Aroma got off the elevator first but Su Bai just stood there. His gaze was sweeping the surroundings outside the elevator.

“This isn’t the floor we are heading to.” Su Bai said.

“What?” Aroma was at a loss.

“Come back.” Su Bai said to Aroma.

Aroma got back into the elevator.

“Seems like we had found the right place.”

Su Bai slowly closed his eyes. His body started to dry up. Aroma who was standing beside him started breathing erratically after seeing that scene. She was mentally prepared but found it hard to accept Su Bai transforming into a zombie right before her eyes. She had known Su Bai since young and had certain understanding towards him.

The monk had mentioned to Su Bai before that the evil aura of the zombie could destroy all obstructions and fabrications, just like a pool of calm dead water being disturbed.

Su Bai’s evil aura started leaking out. A miserable shriek of a child sounded out. At the corner of the elevator buttons, a thirteen-year-old child was curled up and shivering.

It was obvious that those who took the elevator and wanted to head to that floor would be obstructed by him.

Su Bai reach out his hand and held on to nothing but the child was still caught by Su Bai. The evil aura and ghostly aura had certain similarities.

The child revealed a pleading look. He was obviously innocent; he continuously waved both his arms at the same time indicating that there were many things not related to himself; he did not want to kill anyone, he only wanted to look for friends.

Su Bai still pinched hard. Evil aura exploded out and smashed the little ghost in front.

It was only a ghost shadow and not a true ghost spirit.

Su Bai inhaled a deep breath after returning back to normal, chasing out all his exhaustion. He then pressed the button for the elevator.

The elevator door was opened once again. Su Bai walked out and directly ran towards that unit.

He kicked open the office door. Su Bai’s pupil’s dilated. He saw Ying Yinger still sitting before her office table holding on to the wound on her lower abdomen with both hands; she looked very pale. By the curtain, a figure of a man could be seen playing with the cute SM tools with euphoria.

When Su Bai entered, that figure was surprised but did not panic; he just clapped his hand.

Figures of children slowly appeared from the office wall.

Famous nursery rhymes were sung.

Aroma pulled out her gun, causing Su Bai to be surprised. She actually had a gun by her side? The person was held to the nozzle of Aroma’s gun.

“He is not the murderer.” Su Bai restricted Aroma’s actions.

“Uh huh.” That figure made certain sounds. “Listen up young people, I suddenly felt zombie aura coming from the elevator. I thought it was a live version of Dead Rising[1].”
