With hopeful visions, Egbot was humming a ditty while driving. Shan Qianyu sat in the back row. Egbot glanced at the reversing mirror, which showed there was no other car to follow, only this car on the wide road. Egbot thought to himself: no matter what she says later, she must be sent far away, so that she will never come back!
In just a blink of eyes, when Egbot looked at the interior rearview mirror again, there is no one in the back seat!
No one? How could be!
Egbot was so shocked that he quickly turned his head to look at the ground in the back seat, whether the girl was hiding, but no! Then where did she go? How?
He immediately stopped the car, got out of the car to the back seat, turned over, opened the trunk at a loss, and searched the whole car inside and out, but there was still no half a figure.
It's so weird! What happened? Egbot looked at the empty road behind him, that only the towering trees with sparse fallen leaves on both sides looked back at him silently.
How can a living person disappear out of thin air? Unless it's really what she said.
Egbot did not dare to delay for a moment, and hurriedly re-boarded the car, turned on the engine, and drifted back to the villa. Sure enough—Shan Qianyu was waiting for him at the door.
The moment he saw her, Egbot's legs went soft.
"You can finally trust me." Shan Qianyu affirmed, after all, she had nothing to do about this setting, "Let's get in and talk."
Egbot followed Shan Qianyu to the reception room, still in shock. He stammered, "There seriously are ghosts in the world..."
"As what you see." Shan Qianyu pointed at herself.
"But," Egbot stepped forward and grabbed her wrist, "you are obviously an entity, and there is shadow of you. How could you be a ghost? I have no way to figure out."
Shan Qianyu shook her head, "The form of ghosts you think is only derived from novel stories, movies and television. Before me, have you ever seen a real ghost? How many of the authors who spread ghosts have actually seen ghosts? You have always heard ghosts from living people who have never seen ghosts, and how could you know the truth? Now you know that ghosts are not different from living people: you can see and touch; I can appear in the day and night. But I don't need to eat, drink or sleep, and I am trapped in a certain area without freedom. That might be the differences."
"You mean all ghosts are like this? Do people all become ghosts when they die?" Egbot looked around nervously, feeling afraid that thousands of ghosts or zombies would suddenly appear.
"I don't know, after all, I only know my own situation. My days of ghosting are still short, and I am the only one for a few days here. I am the only one at present."
Listening to her saying, Egbot was slightly relieved, "Sorry, your appearance broke my belief in science. Sorry I didn't believe you before, and called the police and an ambulance..."
"In fact, everyone does not live in the objective world, but in the subjective world. Your feelings and your memories make up your world, and you just live what you see and think. Science is just a common seeing and thinking, based on generally convincing conclusions, so you don't need to feel broken. People know far more things than science cannot explain today." Although Shan Qianyu is known as a scientist in an other world, she has always prided herself on being a person with longitudinal theory and was obsessed with the connection of the world.
Egbot was nervous at first, then suddenly amused, "Well, listening to a ghost to tell me this, is very convincing. You are really a humor."
He finally believed she's a ghost. Well done! Then all of what she could do is to wait to be killed.
She didn't speak, and Egbot thought he had poked her sore spot. After all, it was hard for him as a person to imagine the despair he would experience if he found out that he existed as a ghost. She was so young, may younger than him. And she was so lonely in this deserted place for a long time.
The word "ghost" should also be something she hates deeply, right? He felt this girl is so miserable that wants to die forever.
"So, Qianyu, what can I do for you? Do you have some unfulfilled wishes?" With overflow of sympathy, Egbot was dispelled even from saying that he wanted to move.
"Nope. You can kill me simply. Simply, rudely, and directly. I don't need more help. Thank you." Shan Qianyu looked sincere.
Egbot was very entangled, "Why? Don't people turn into ghosts because of some wishes? Or why do you become a ghost?"
That may be true. The villainess does have wishes, but not her Shan Qianyu.
"It is none of your business. Just kill me by the means of that I told you."
"I cannot."
Shan Qianyu almost lost for words, "Uh... You know you're human, and I'm a ghost. Humans and ghosts cannot coexist. We are originally hostile, either you die or I die. So you must destroy me to save yourself!"
"For godness, I could never believe it is what a ghost taught me." Egbot began to laugh. He doesn't have any sense of risks.
Shan Qianyu kept persuading, "You should think in this way that life is a game of fighting monsters and upgrading. I am naturally one of the bosses. Only by killing me, can you successfully clear the level, walk to the peak of life, and live a happy life with your love from now on!"
Egbot looked at Shan Qianyu incredulously, crying and laughing. If what she said was real that she is his enemy. But this special "opponent" makes him laugh and feeling happier than before. He was so reluctant to disadvantage her, even though she was no longer human being.
