Chapter Four: The Leaning Tower and the Ring

At midnight, at the door of the Night Talk Tavern, the second living person who came after twelve o'clock was welcomed.

Bai Lei entered the tavern directly without any hesitation.

Not paying attention to the looks of other ghosts in the tavern, she looked around, found Su Qin, and walked towards Su Qin.

Su Qin was surprised at her punctuality. It seemed that she was really eager to see her sister.

Still the same, Su Qin led Bai Lei towards the room.

Her sister was already in the room waiting for Bai Lei to come. As for the situation, Su Qin had already told her earlier, and she seemed nervous about meeting her sister.

This time, Su Qin did not stay in the room, but leaned against the door of the room. He could faintly hear the sounds of crying and talking in the room.

Not paying attention to the passage of time, I only heard the sound of the room door being opened, and the two sisters walked out with red eyes.

Before they could say any words of thanks, Su Qin said, "You two have met for the last time. As for what happens next, it's up to you." In the end, Su Qin did not tell the sisters not to meet each other in the future.

Come on.

"Well, I have decided that I will continue to open the cake shop. Sooner or later, I will let all the children who like cakes be able to eat the cakes they want." Bai Lei said excitedly, waving her fist.

Looking at Bai Lei's state, it was completely different from that during the day. She was not depressed or upset now, but was full of energy and vitality.

"Thank you, Boss Su, for not only taking me in at night, but also for helping me meet my sister."

"I've always wanted to ask you, how did you come to my tavern, and where did you exist during the day?" Su Qin did not miss any opportunity to learn clues. Before this, other ghosts in the tavern had no idea.

Ignore him.

Bai Lei's sister thought for a while and said, "That's it. After I lost my footing and fell down the mountain, I lost consciousness. When I regained consciousness, I felt like I was in a white space during the day. That should be where I died."

It’s an item for my soul. I couldn’t appear directly during the day. It wasn’t until night that I had a vague feeling that led me to Boss Su’s tavern.”

"That is to say, after death, a person may become a ghost and live in something. He cannot appear freely until night." Su Qin seemed to have discovered something was wrong.

"Then why can Liu Ying appear in my tavern during the day?" Su Qin asked.

"Well...I don't know either." Sister Bai Lei smiled sheepishly.

"Forget it, let's forget about it and we'll talk about it then." Su Qin temporarily put the issue behind him.

"Thank you very much, Boss Su." The two sisters suddenly bowed to Su Qin before he could react.

This made Su Qin feel embarrassed and waved his hands awkwardly, "No...it's okay. As long as you two are happy, you should live a good life and be a good person (ghost)."

"Definitely" the sisters said firmly.

When Su Qin was about to say something, he suddenly felt a special force pouring into his body. It was very cold, but it didn't make him feel uncomfortable.

This feeling disappeared in the blink of an eye, as if it had never appeared.

After such a small episode, Su Qin felt sleepy, so he asked the sisters to go out and went back to his room to rest first.

When Su Qin lay on his bed, he fell asleep after a while.



"Where is this?" Su Qin found himself in an endless space, and the place he stood seemed to be in the middle of the space.

In front of him was a towering building, like a sloping square tower, which was thrust straight into the ground.

Su Qin raised his head and looked up. He couldn't see the end at a glance. He didn't know how high it was.

Half of the entrance to the Leaning Tower is buried underground, but it seems that the rest is big enough for a person to pass through.

Suddenly arriving in a strange place, Su Qin was very vigilant. "Didn't I fall asleep? Is this my dream? But why does it look so real?"

Su Qin slowly walked towards the entrance of the leaning tower, touched it with his hand, and felt the metal-like texture. He was a little incredible. This leaning tower was actually made of metal? It really was a dream. If it were real, how heavy would it be?

ah.

Su Qin knocked on the entrance and pushed hard. Unexpectedly, it opened immediately.

Su Qin looked at the dark entrance, which looked like the bloody mouth of a beast, and thought for a moment at the entrance. "Since it is in my dream, there shouldn't be any actual danger, just treat it as such.

Went on an adventure.”

While thinking this, he groped for the entrance and walked in.

It's so dark inside the Leaning Tower that you can't see your fingers. After the door is opened, no light from the outside shines into the inside, which adds a bit of a strange atmosphere to the Leaning Tower.

I don’t know how long time passed. Su Qin gradually groped around the wall and felt more and more that this leaning tower was not something that humans could build. It was really too big.

As he circled back to the entrance, he could only hear his own breathing and the crunching sound of unknown objects. It looked very scary in the empty leaning tower.

Apart from this, Su Qin didn't find anything strange. What troubled him was how he should wake up now.

Perhaps because he heard his voice, the leaning tower in front of him gradually became blurry, and his head felt dizzy.

When he opened his eyes again, he was already lying in his familiar bedroom.

But what was different from before he went to bed was that he didn't know when he had opened the small box left by his parents.

Su Qin sat up suddenly and took the small box closer to take a look. There was only a simple ring inside the box. The ring was not inlaid with any precious gems such as diamonds. It looked like a glass bead.

But the surface is very smooth and crystal clear.

Su Qin looked at the ring and felt the urge to put it on his hand. He slowly put the ring on his right index finger, but nothing happened.

Just when he thought this was an ordinary ring left by his parents, Su Qin's body surged with a cold force, flowing from his body to his right hand, and then poured into the ring.

Su Qin could see with the naked eye that the ring gradually turned black from its original transparent color.

Su Qin was a little confused and asked, "What's going on? What happened?"

He recalled that during the previous conversation with the two sisters, this cold force suddenly entered his body, and then he became sleepy. After falling asleep, the leaning tower appeared in his dream, which had never happened before.

He rubbed the ring gently, and could vaguely feel a cold power accumulated in the ring. Could this be the power that was in my body before?

So how did it come about, why could the box be opened, and what was the leaning tower that appeared in the dream? Questions kept popping up in Su Qin's mind.

But it is destined that he needs to explore all this by himself, and no one can tell him.

Su Qin got up and looked at his phone. It was three in the morning, which was still early, but at this time he had no intention of sleeping.

When he walked to the bathroom, he washed his face and looked at himself in the mirror. He found that he was slightly different. First, he was in a good state of mind and did not look like he had only slept for three hours. Second, he was in a good mood.

The pupils of his eyes, there are still gray parts in the dark eyes, and it seems that his five senses have become much clearer.

I can clearly hear the whispers in the tavern outside, capture the flying trajectory of unknown insects, and my dynamic vision has been greatly improved.

"Could it be that this power strengthens me? And it is what opens the box and the leaning tower?" Su Qin frowned. "Then how to get it? I think I only got it after helping Sister Bai Lei.

I got this power, so? Its source is ghost?"

"After waiting for their sincere thanks, can I gain this power? Well, it's very possible." Su Qin murmured, with an expression on his face that said yes.

"So, then I just need to continue to help ghosts, and then I can find out the truth." After Su Qin determined his goal, he showed a relieved smile. As long as he knew what to do, it would be fine, so as not to look like a headless person.

Flying everywhere like flies.

Su Qin returned to the bedroom, sat cross-legged on the bed, and looked at the ring on his hand, "Then I should be able to use this power. Then what should I call it? Ghost energy? Ghost power? How about calling it mana, hahaha

." As if to satisfy his own evil taste, Su Qin decided to call this power magic power.

Su Qin concentrated on trying to mobilize the mana in the ring, and there were vague signs of being affected by him. Slowly, Su Qin refocused the mana on his hand, and he could clearly feel a coldness on his arm.

Things exist, but they cannot be seen or touched.

Only the gradually fading black in the ring proved that he had indeed mobilized his magic power.

"Next, let's try to see if we can apply it to our body." Su Qin thought silently in his mind to strengthen his eyes. Gradually, he felt the magic power gathered in his eyes, and a slight cool feeling came from his eyes, which made him very comfortable.

Time passed little by little, and Su Qin was immersed in the heightened feeling and couldn't extricate himself.

Finally, Su Qin drew out the last ray of mana and used it on his eyes. As if feeling that the mana in the ring had been used up, Su Qin slowly opened his eyes.

As his eyes opened and closed, light flashed, and the eyes were covered with a layer of mist, as if they had a soul-stirring magic power.

Su Qin didn't notice it himself. He just felt that his whole body was full of strength. He got up and moved his body. There was a crackling sound on his body. He smelled it and there was a sticky smell on his body.

Looking at the time, it was seven in the morning. Su Qin was a little surprised because he didn't feel the passage of time. He felt that it was only a short while and it was already three hours so quickly.

Su Qin didn't think too much and quickly went to the bathroom to take a shower and change into a set of clean clothes.

Su Qin lay comfortably on the bed, feeling happy that he had made a major breakthrough tonight, scrolling through his circle of friends and browsing the news.

Suddenly, a message came into view. It was from Lao Wang, "Are you free? Can you come to my place today? There are some things I don't know what to do about Liu Ying's husband, and I won't be able to explain them clearly for a while."

If it were Su Qin who had been there two days ago, he would definitely have more things to do than less things to do, regardless of such noisy matters. But now, it is obvious that Liu Ying's husband has a problem, maybe related to ghosts, how can he not join in the fun.

Su Qin showed a confident smile, tapped the phone a few times, and replied "ok, time and place, I'm available at any time."

"Okay, Room 301, Building 3, Huaxin Community, I'll be waiting for you at home today." It seemed that he had been waiting for Su Qin's reply. Lao Wang responded as soon as he saw the message.

You could feel Lao Wang's tension through the screen, and Su Qin was even more confused as to what could make Lao Wang so helpless.
