YiMing had twisted her ankle and was about to fall back before someone suddenly caught her from behind.
At the moment, her mind which had gone dump had no clue as to who it could be. But perhaps it was being felt relieved of having survived the nearly fatal fall!
The person who had caught her from behind had pushed her up to her feet properly and when she was standing, she Slowly Turned to see SiChen coming to standing Beside her.
Confused, and yet Surprised, she looked at him. Did he save me? she couldn't help but wonder. But yet again, she believed that there was a reason he had done it.
She didn't want to believe he was that nice and Caring.
She watched as Sichen came to stand before him, facing the ghost face to face.
"You... You're good at hiding and running off...But it's a pity that you came right into your end today"
YiMing looked from Sichen down to the ghost. She could guess that they knew each other.
But yet again, YiMing looked at the ghost. The female ghost stood there, looking as pathetic as she could. YiMing looked at her eyes and couldn't help but feel a certain feeling.
was it pity? She didn't seem to be aware of what it was.
"No...stay away...stay away from me...You can't take me..you can't send me away..no...I can't go without finding the person I want to...You shouldn't be this heartless" The female ghost said drawing backward...
YiMing was simply watching the scene and was rather Surprised as a tear escaped the ghost's eyes.
She got confused. Was she crying? Why?
"You've been running for too long, and it's about time you leave here which doesn't belong to you. And... don't even think of running, because no matter where you run to, I'll catch you. Now you've fallen into a surprise trap for both, now you can't escape.."
"No..." The female ghost was still in tears "Please... don't take me.. sway...I.I need to find him... please no..." She said as she disappeared.
A smirk escaped SiChen's lips as he brought out his stopwatch and toyed with it for a while " I told you no matter where you can...no escape" He said.
"Who...is she?" The curious YiMing asked, looking at SiChen.
Sichen hesitated for a while, toying with his stopwatch before he finally replied "She's an escaped and wandering soul. She died five years ago...But couldn't be caught. She somehow always keeps escaping and Surprisingly she was hard to find" He stopped playing with his stopwatch.
"Now she's developed into what is seen as a sad, longing, and searching ghost. Since initially, she wouldn't leave because she's loving for some person, she affects people with her sadness .."
YiMing let all he had said sink down before she asked "So.....Who is she looking for?"
"I don't care to know in details, but some kind of guy, but it's useless anyway. Since today is her last time anyways" He said as he looked at her.
"You...You dare yell at me as though you know how to protect yourself, I had not come here you'd have been ghost meal. How lame" He accused her as she kept mute.
He then looked ahead and looked at his stopwatch "Now to get the runaway soul and take her away from this place" He Said as he walked off...
YiMing simply followed behind.
***
YiMing was following Sichen through the quiet street. The night noises were sounding which sent shivers down her spine, but she couldn't show her fear. At least not in front of SiChen.
Heavens knew the condemnation he had installed for her.
It didn't take long before YiMing noticed SiChen's new outfit. She wondered why he was wearing a typical office outfit.
"Huh? since when did you change your outfit?" She asked.
"Keep your mouth shut" He snapped as he moved, still looking at his stopwatch.
YiMing kept mute and followed.
They finally arrived at a spot as Sichen stopped. He looked up with a confident smile.
"Found you...." He said as he waved his hand before the wall ahead and immediately, The ghost who was sitting there became visible to both of them.
"So what's it gonna be?" Sichen asked, "Will you surrender voluntarily...or do we go the hard way." He asked but she said nothing.
The ghost was simply sitting and leaning against the wall while she trembled, hugging her legs.
"No. I haven't found him...I can't leave..." She murmured to herself, looking pathetic.
YiMing looked over at the ghost. The feeling of pity had befallen her and now she seemed blinded by it.
She looked at Sichen who was getting his ring ready to take action. She didn't think she could stop herself now!
Before Sichen could take any action, YiMing did all she could to stop him. she quickly brushed his hands down and pushed off the stopwatch from her hand.
"Run!" She urged the ghost who quickly disappeared into thin air.
The scene was cold and serene as Sichen looked at his stop Which was there on the floor, broken!
He was Speechless, Shocked, and furious as he stared at the broken stopwatch on the floor.
YiMing on the other hand was relieved of having saved the woman. But yet again, she looked at the damage she had caused!
And it occurred to her that she wasn't even thinking straight when she did what she did! She only wanted to save the ghost woman by all means so she had to act quickly.
And now the quick action she had adopted in performing had resulted in something big and messy.
Now she didn't even know what to do or so. She simply watched the stopwatch on the floor, equally shocked.
Right now, she could tell that she had gotten herself into the Grim reaper's. She had gotten to her peak and if she was lucky enough, he would take her life before her time!
