Chapter 1504 Not Human
"By the way! A lot of things have happened at Jiajia Building these past two days, so Xuanwu Tongzi said it's the work of vengeful spirits, and we need to hold a ritual tomorrow night."
Fearing that Lin Hao would bring up the matter of her moving in again, Wang Zhenzhen quickly changed the subject and started talking about other things.
"Perform a ritual?" Lin Hao naturally knew that the so-called Xuanwu Boy was a fraud, but he had no intention of exposing him.
So he pretended to be surprised and said, "Didn't Xiaoling tell you that you can't perform rituals or burn clothes on the third day of the third month?"
"No, Xiaoling went to Macau for work these past two days and won't be back until tonight."
Wang Zhenzhen asked, puzzled, "Why can't we hold the ceremony tomorrow?"
"It's okay! Just remember, you're not allowed to go anywhere tomorrow. Come see your husband as soon as you get up in the morning, understand?"
Jin Zhengzhong and his mother have been swindling and cheating people here for so many years, and with Xiaoqian's ghost helping them recently, the residents of the entire building have long since come to believe in them.
Even if Lin Hao revealed his identity as a charlatan at this moment, probably no one would believe him. Lin Hao wouldn't do something so thankless and difficult.
"Okay! I understand." Wang Zhenzhen nodded obediently in agreement.
After chatting for a while, Wang Zhenzhen fell asleep without realizing it.
These past two days, Wang Zhenzhen had been so worried and hadn't had a good rest because Lin Hao was away. Coupled with the fact that she had just exhausted so much energy, she fell asleep immediately.
That evening, despite Lin Hao's repeated attempts to persuade her to stay, Wang Zhenzhen refused.
However, early the next morning, while it was still barely light, Wang Zhenzhen came to find Lin Hao.
The two lingered for a while, until almost noon, when Wang Zhenzhen suddenly remembered that she had asked Luo Kaiping to make a dress a few days ago, and she was going to pick it up today.
"Ah Hao! I'm going to Ping Ge's place to try on clothes later, will you come with me?" Wang Zhenzhen said coquettishly.
"Okay! Let's go now." Lin Hao nodded affectionately and pinched Wang Zhenzhen's cheek.
Even if she hadn't said anything, Lin Hao would have gone with her.
Luo Kaiping's mother is a living dead person. Although she liked Wang Zhenzhen very much in the original story and wanted Wang Zhenzhen to be her daughter-in-law, Wang Zhenzhen is no longer a virgin.
What if that wicked old woman harbors ill intentions towards Wang Zhenzhen?
In the original drama, the reason why the female neighbor next door had contact with her son was because he disliked the female neighbor who was a dancer and felt that she was unclean, so he directly killed her.
Wang Zhenzhen, on the other hand, was able to escape unscathed after getting involved with Luo Ping'an because she had never dated anyone before.
So when Lin Hao saw that he had to accompany Wang Zhenzhen, the two of them arrived at Luo Kaiping's house and ran into Ma Xiaoling and Kuang Tianyou.
"Xiaoling, you're back!" Wang Zhenzhen saw Ma Xiaoling with Kuang Tianyou, her beautiful eyes darting back and forth, and she asked softly:
"Are you and Mr. Kuang hiding something from us?"
Wang Zhenzhen was hoping something would happen between them; even if nothing was happening now, she planned to try and bring them together.
Otherwise, it's not good to always have someone thinking about your boyfriend, even if that person is your best friend, she still won't feel at ease.
"What are you hiding?" Ma Xiaoling asked suspiciously, then, seeing the meaningful look in Wang Zhenzhen's eyes, she immediately realized what was going on.
"What are you talking about? I met Officer Kuang on the street; he was also investigating Xiaoqian's case!"
After laughing and joking for a while, the group knocked on the door and went to Luo Kaiping's house.
"I wonder what brings you all here?" Luo Kaiping asked with unusual politeness.
He was just pretending to be confused. He was an honest man, that's true, but he wasn't stupid.
He had already guessed that the murderer was actually his mother who had come back to life.
Seeing that the newly moved policeman had come with Wang Zhenzhen, he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
“Zhenzhen is trying on clothes, let us help her take a look!” Ma Xiaoling said casually.
"Really? Wait a minute." Luo Kaiping smiled and went to help Zhenzhen get her clothes.
Taking advantage of the break, Ma Xiaoling took out a specially made cosmetic box from the box. At this moment, Luo Kaiping came out with a red coat that looked like a wedding dress.
"Zhenzhen! Isn't it pretty?"
After taking the clothes, Wang Zhenzhen frowned somewhat dissatisfied and asked:
"Brother Ping, I said I wanted it to be blue, why is it red?!"
“Red is beautiful too, my mom said so too, why don’t you try it first!” Luo Kaiping said somewhat awkwardly.
"Alright!" Wang Zhenzhen was a little unhappy that Luo Kaiping had changed the color of her clothes for no reason, but being kind-hearted, she didn't say anything more.
"Ah Hao! What do you think?"
After changing her clothes, Wang Zhenzhen immediately walked up to Lin Hao and spun around, looking on with hope that she would hear his praise.
A beauty of Wang Zhenzhen's caliber could make even a tattered burlap sack look luxurious, not to mention Luo Kaiping's undeniable craftsmanship.
Lin Hao gave a thumbs up and praised with a smile:
“My Zhenzhen looks beautiful in everything she wears. She’s a perfect clothes hanger and a little fairy.”
"No way! You just know how to say nice things to make people happy."
A smile appeared on Wang Zhenzhen's lovely face. She was very pleased with Lin Hao's praise, but it made her a little shy in front of outsiders.
Since Lin Hao said it looked good, Wang Zhenzhen stopped worrying about the color.
Anyway, I make my own clothes so that my loved ones can see them.
Luo Kaiping, who had always secretly loved Wang Zhenzhen, saw this scene and his eyes flashed with a hint of disappointment and envy, but there was no jealousy.
This made Lin Hao nod in satisfaction; it seemed that Luo Kaiping really was an honest man.
If Luo Kaiping had just shown any covetous or even lewd expression, Lin Hao might have killed the mother and son right now.
But Lin Hao knew that he was being too blindly filial.
At this moment, when no one was paying attention, Ma Xiaoling quietly went inside and used a special cinnabar lipstick to write the character '赦' (pardon) on the small mirror of the cosmetic box.
Then he shone his light into Ping's mother's room, wanting to see if Ping's mother would react.
"Aping! Who are those people outside? They're shady characters, they're not allowed in our house, tell them to get out!"
Ping's mother's voice immediately turned harsh and sarcastic as she began to curse from inside the room.
"Mom! It's Zhenzhen and her friend who came to try on clothes," Luo Kaiping hurriedly explained.
"Get out, all of you get out! And never come to my house again."
"I'm sorry, my mother is old and not in a good mood. You can go ahead, I'll deliver the clothes to you separately."
For Luo Kaiping, a blindly filial son, or rather, a mama's boy, his mother's words were like imperial edicts.
"Alright then, let's go!" Wang Zhenzhen didn't say anything more and pulled Lin Hao's arm to walk out.
Seeing the group leave, Luo Kaiping apologized to them, closed the door, and then hurriedly went into his mother's room.
The group, kicked out by Ping's mother, had no choice but to go to Wang Zhenzhen's house. Ma Xiaoling, not understanding Ping's mother's situation, didn't dare to take action. "Ping's mother isn't in good health and has a bit of a strange temper, so please don't blame her!"
The innocent and kind-hearted Wang Zhenzhen was completely unaware of the situation and was still speaking well of Ping's mother.
"Hmm!" Ma Xiaoling nodded absentmindedly.
"Do you want something to drink? How about orange juice?" Wang Zhenzhen asked.
"I want to drink coffee."
Ma Xiaoling deliberately ordered the complicated coffee because she didn't want Wang Zhenzhen, that silly girl, to hear some of her thoughts.
"I want coffee too!" Kuang Tianyou, who had been invisible for a while, understood what Ma Xiaoling meant and ordered coffee as well.
"Ah Hao! What about you?" Of course, Wang Zhenzhen was most concerned about Lin Hao.
"I want to eat you!" Lin Hao said with a wicked grin.
"Ugh! You're so unserious, I'm ignoring you."
"It's been so long since we've been serious, and the sight of you is quite a feast for the eyes!"
Wang Zhenzhen never expected Lin Hao to say such things in public. Her lovely face immediately flushed red, and she turned and ran to the kitchen.
Upon hearing this, Ma Xiaoling gave the two of them a meaningful look, feeling somewhat uneasy.
However, she quickly suppressed her unease, sat on the sofa, and said firmly:
"Ping Ma is not human!"
"Could it be a ghost?" Kuang Tianyou asked hurriedly.
"No!" Ma Xiaoling quickly said, "If it were a ghost, I would have already smashed its soul to pieces with that attack."
"Could it be a zombie?"
"I'm not sure, I've never seen anything so strange before."
If she knew what Ping Ma was, she would have already taken action. Why would she be sitting here discussing things with Kuang Tianyou, secretly cursing him for being brainless?
"Ah Hao! Did you notice anything?"
Ma Xiaoling rested her chin on her hands on her knees, frowning as she pondered. Suddenly, she remembered Lin Hao, who had been silent all along.
For some reason, she always felt that Lin Hao was not as simple as he seemed on the surface, and that he probably knew something.
After asking the question, Ma Xiaoling did not hear Lin Hao's reply, so she looked up at him.
She saw Lin Hao sitting opposite her, his eyes lingering on her long legs...
Immediately, Ma Xiaoling was extremely embarrassed and hurriedly grabbed a cushion and put it on her lap. This bastard was actually looking at her...
Today, Ma Xiaoling wore a pink knitted cardigan over a short white dress, revealing her long, fair legs that were simply dazzling.
From Lin Hao's perspective, the view was unobstructed, and he found the scenery breathtaking and captivating.
However, in front of Kuang Tianyou and at Wang Zhenzhen's house, she did not make a scene on the spot. She could only keep the matter to herself and wait for the reckoning later.
He picked up another cushion from beside him and threw it at Lin Hao, asking:
"I asked you if you noticed anything just now."
"Ah, oh, I see, it's white!" Lin Hao blurted out instinctively.
"What did you say?" Ma Xiaoling felt her face burning and swung her fist at Lin Hao fiercely.
If I had the Demon-Subduing Staff in my hand right now, I would definitely beat this bastard to death with one blow.
It's one thing to peek, but to say it out loud? Does he think I'm a pushover?
Kuang Tianyou, who was standing to the side, immediately sat up straight, looking down at his nose and his mind, as if he knew nothing.
"What white?" Wang Zhenzhen asked curiously as she came out after making coffee.
"Oh! I said Xiaoling looks beautiful in that white dress, white suits her very well," Lin Hao said with a laugh.
Without thinking much of it, Wang Zhenzhen served coffee to the three of them while saying:
"Yes! Xiaoling has good skin, so she looks great in light-colored clothes. But I don't; white makes me look really dark!"
Seeing the silly girl's serious expression, Ma Xiaoling shook her head helplessly. This Zhenzhen is so easy to fool. She has fallen for Lin Hao, this big lecher. I really don't know whether the ending will be happy or sad.
"By the way! Where is Auntie?" Ma Xiaoling changed the subject.
"You've come at the wrong time. My mother went to Sister Jin's to prepare for tonight's vegetarian feast."
"Holding a fast on the three broken days?"
Upon hearing this, Ma Xiaoling was taken aback and angrily turned to Lin Hao, shouting:
"Zhenzhen and Auntie don't know, but don't you know what the Third Day of Destruction is? Why didn't you stop them?"
Jiajia Building is already in a troubled state, and now they're making trouble by holding a vegetarian feast today. Aren't they just courting death?
Lin Hao is also in the same industry, how could he not know about the Three Breaking Suns?
"What's wrong, Xiaoling!" Wang Zhenzhen saw Ma Xiaoling suddenly yell at her boyfriend and immediately explained:
“Ah Hao also told me yesterday that altars cannot be set up on the Three Broken Days, but tonight’s fasting ceremony is a day set by the Xuanwu Boy.”
She didn't want her boyfriend to take the blame for nothing.
"Excuse me! I need to take this call."
Just then, Kuang Tianyou's phone rang, and he quickly ran to the side to answer it.
"A lot of strange things happened in our building last night. Sister Jin and Zhengzhong said it was the work of vengeful spirits, so they said we had to perform a ritual to clear things up. But you and Ahao both said something about the Three Broken Days. What exactly is going on?"
Wang Zhenzhen explained the whole story to Ma Xiaoling, and then asked San Po Ri questions like a curious child.
Lin Hao mentioned the Three Breaking Days yesterday, and Xiao Ling's nervousness upon hearing it today immediately piqued her curiosity.
"Tonight won't do. That charlatan is a real nuisance. As for what the Three Broken Days are, you can ask your Ah Hao."
Ma Xiaoling was speechless. She didn't know how to explain what "Three Broken Days" meant to Wang Zhenzhen, who was an outsider to the subject.
"Xiaoling! There's a really dirty place, let me show you." At this moment, Kuang Tianyou, who had just finished making a phone call, came over.
Ma Xiaoling nodded, then said to Wang Zhenzhen with a serious expression:
"Zhenzhen! Please tell Auntie for me that no matter what happens tonight, we must not open the altar, and we must not burn clothes, understand?"
Why?
"Are you a walking encyclopedia of questions?" Ma Xiaoling asked, both amused and exasperated.
"If you have any questions, just ask Lin Hao. He'll definitely know the answer!"
After saying that, Ma Xiaoling hurriedly followed Kuang Tianyou and left.
"Ah Hao, what is the Three Broken Suns?"
After Ma Xiaoling and Kuang Tianyou left, Wang Zhenzhen ran up to Lin Hao like a curious child and asked him a question.
"What did you call me?" Lin Hao didn't answer her question immediately, but asked with a mischievous smile.
