Chapter 7 - Promise

"Forget it!" Dong Long covered Liu Yang's mouth and pulled him forward. "Let's go, let's go. The most important thing is to eat. Let's eat a lot today. I'm going to order a few more dishes later!"

The few of them walked slowly toward the canteen. On the way, Gao Fu pulled Lu Ming along and asked her all sorts of questions.

"You must have a special constitution. You've been able to see spirits since you were young," Lu Ming said.

"It's true!" Gao Fu was too excited. "That's right. They don't believe it! I've been dreaming of a woman covered in blood recently. She kept asking me to save her child. I'm still a child! Who can save me!"

"You're just dreaming about it at night. I'd advise you not to put too much pressure on yourself. With your grades, it's going to be tough for you to get into university..." Liu Yang was still promoting his scientific theory.

"I can't even stuff your mouth with food!" Gao Fu rolled her eyes at Liu Yang, picked up the menu, and ordered a few hard dishes. It was obvious that she was a regular customer of the small private room in the cafeteria.

"You've taken my Mind-Calming Pill, so you shouldn't have any more nightmares for the next few days. I'll go to your house with you this weekend."

"Yes, this female spirit seems to be the female owner of the haunted house in our community. I've seen her before and even greeted her. Although she was covered in blood and her face was blurry, that seemed to be her."

"The haunted house in your neighborhood?" Dong Long interrupted, "I know that haunted house. A family of three was brutally killed in the house. The house is still empty! I heard that a while ago, there was someone who wanted to rent that place as a venue, but when he came back, he was seriously ill!"

"It must be because the air isn't circulating. The air probably hasn't circulated for a long time," Liu Yang said, "there will be a lot of bacteria and dust in the house. This kind of environment is indeed bad for human health."

"Shut up!" Gao Fu and Dong Long said in unison.

"You must believe in science." Liu Yang shrugged his shoulders indifferently. "I'll go with you this weekend. I'm a fighting expert, so my physical fitness should be better than Dong Long's."

"Tsk!" Dong Long raised his fist. "I advise you not to engage in useless competition! What's wrong with muay thai? No matter how hard the fist is, it cannot hit the spirit! My brother is a police officer, and he's the one who handled the haunted house case. I can get some inside information."

"Just forget it. Your brother is so old-fashioned. He definitely won't tell you the details." Gao Fu was not too optimistic.

"I can do that too. I'm also a reserve police officer. We can find the details ourselves!" Dong Long was still unconvinced.

"You? Didn't you just read a few detective novels? You even say you're a reserve police officer..." Liu Yang poured cold water on him.

The meal ended in a lively and noisy atmosphere, and they finally agreed to go together on Saturday.

In order to make it easier for them to see the rumored female spirit, everyone even discussed a time when the yin energy was the strongest: midnight.

Lu Ming, who had not participated in the entire discussion and had been working hard on her meal, heard the time. "You're looking for death!" Young people these days were really looking for death...

"Heavens!" Dong Long belatedly looked at the mountain of empty plates in front of him. "Deskmate, don't tell me that you're the one who finished all these!"

"Is there a problem?" Lu Ming did not understand. Didn't she eat all this under their eyes? Why did he have to confirm such a simple thing again?

"No, no problem." Dong Long touched his empty stomach. Who said that girls had small stomachs and only ate half a bowl of vegetable salad for a meal?

He didn't expect that Lu Ming, who looked so thin and petite, would actually have such a big appetite! Even the three of them combined couldn't beat her eating food, right?

Dong Long thought about how he was so engrossed in the discussion that he did not even take a few bites of his meal. Seeing that it was almost time for class, he did not have the time to order any more dishes, so he said, "Don't leave after school, it's my treat!"

Hearing that dinner was settled, Lu Ming happily agreed.

Three people who were not full and one person who was full, the four of them walked toward the classroom. As they were walking, Dong Long, who was at the front, suddenly turned his head. His two long arms wrapped around the other three, and he was about to change direction.

"You four, wait a moment." A clear voice stopped the four of them.
