Forbidden Land – CH 075

Back in his dorm, Zhang Chao quickly pulled Lin Yi’ang into his room and anxiously asked, “Does Bai Qiu have any sisters?”

Lin Yi’ang looked at him in surprise. “Why do you ask? Did you see Bai Qiu again?”

Zhang Chao said, “I’m serious.”

Lin Yi’ang became serious and said, “I don’t know if you were possessed by a ghost a while ago, but after you were discharged from the hospital, Chen Rong said you were fine. Did you develop a split personality again?”

Zhang Chao said, “Go to hell! I’ve never had a split personality!”

Lin Yi’ang said, “Then why did you keep seeing Bai Qiu for a while and even…talking to her? I was actually very panicked.”

Zhang Chao said, “Do I look like someone who isn’t mentally sound? I won’t discuss Bai Qiu’s matter from a while ago with you. Just pretend I didn’t see anything, and I won’t mention it again. Just answer me, does Bai Qiu have any sisters?”

Lin Yi’ang shook his head. “She lives alone. What exactly happened?”

Zhang Chao asked, “Does she have any older or younger cousins ​​who look like her?”

Lin Yi’ang replied, “Yes, she has two older cousins ​​and one younger cousin. Both older cousins ​​are over thirty, and the younger cousin seems to still be in middle school. What’s wrong? Tell me.”

Zhang Chao took a breath and said, “Today I was studying in the East Campus, and when I came back, I saw a girl who looked a lot like Bai Qiu.”

Lin Yi’ang scoffed, “Pretty girls all look alike. There are numerous girls who look remarkably similar. Look at porn. If you’re a newbie in porn, you’ll see so many women. How come they all look so similar when they take their clothes off? You have to look at a lot of people before you realize that facial features and body shapes are actually different. Then you’ll naturally know who is Ai Iijima and who is—”

“Shut up! I don’t have time to talk to you,” Zhang Chao said. “It’s pointless to talk to someone like you. Get lost!”

Lin Yi’ang laughed. “Brother, come on, tell me, so what if that girl looks like Bai Qiu?”

Zhang Chao said, “It isn’t exactly a perfect match; just the silhouette is similar. The main thing is, the girl was wearing a completely black dress and black shoes; that kind of dress is like something out of a horror movie.”

Lin Yi’ang said, “A model, right? Models all dress like that. You’re out of touch with fashion, making a fuss over nothing.”

Zhang Chao said, “Don’t you think being in all black is a bit strange?”

Lin Yi’ang laughed and said, “All black, and she looks like Bai Qiu, so she’s Hei Qiu, right? What happened to that girl then?”

Zhang Chao then told Brother Lin Yi’ang everything: the girl walked all the way to East 4, deliberately hid in a corner to scare him, and then went to the dark Nanhua Garden.

Lin Yi’ang pondered for a moment, then said, “You went to Nanhua Garden alone?”

Zhang Chao replied, “Yes!”

Lin Yi’ang asked, “You didn’t go in?”

Zhang Chao said, “I thought about it, but I didn’t have the guts.”

Lin Yi’ang said, “Call me next time you see her. It’s so dark in Nanhua Garden anyway, I’ll go in and molest her a bit before coming out, hahaha!”

Zhang Chao angrily retorted, “Get lost! We have nothing in common.”

Lin Yi’ang laughed. “Brother, you should talk to Chen Rong about these things next time. I see she’s a psychology PhD student, and she seems to be starting to believe these strange tales you tell. Hey, you’re so charming.”

After Lin Yi’ang left, Zhang Chao began to ponder again.

The biggest question that had been bothering him was still why he could see Bai Qiu a while ago.

If Bai Qiu really was a spirit, then only people with poor health could see her, but he was perfectly healthy at first, yet he could see Bai Qiu.

Was she really a spirit?

Why hadn’t Bai Qiu appeared since he learned of her death? Was it because she didn’t want to disturb his life anymore?

This whole thing seemed like a ghost story. Was it really happening?

And what about Hei Qiu? Would he ever see her again?

T/N: Bai means white, and Hei means black, so Yi’ang jokes about the black-clad girl as Hei Qiu.
