Chapter 169: The Naughty Ghost

"Gu Yijin!"

The anger on the trainee’s voice stopped the others from watching the game and looked in their direction.

They saw a trainee’s face flushing red with anger as he pointed at Gu Yijin.

"Why did you spill my tea?!"

Gu Yiji frowned and looked at the bottle on the side. "I didn’t do anything."

"Don’t deny it! You were the only one who’s just nearby. There was no one else so who could it be?!" The trainee insisted and some of the trainees couldn’t help but nod because they also saw that no one was there aside from the young man.

But as Gu Yijin said, he didn’t do it.

Unfortunately, since there was really no one near, other trainees couldn’t suspect anybody. The bottle was also so heavy that it was impossible to be pushed by the wind inside the court. Thus, how could the bottle be pushed by this?

Was it really Gu Yijin?

Some trainees looked at the young man with a hint of scrutiny. Truthfully, some trainees admired him secretly because they saw his strength. He was a strong performer and one of the dark horses in this competition. If not for his lone personality, he would probably be in the same class as Shen Lou and others or maybe in Class A a long time ago.

But what is this?

He actually did something and denied it?

"Gu Yijin, that bottle has the tea made from his Mom. It was very precious for him but you actually spilled it? How could you do that? I can’t believe you are this heartless." Some trainees couldn’t help but comment.

"If you have a problem, might as well confront him. You don’t have to do such sneaky things. Why act hypocrite?"

The words from their mouths made the frown on his brow deepen. "I said I didn’t do it." he firmly answered but no one believes.

"Okay, what’s with this commotion again? Do you want the event to be ruined?" Xu Xinyi glares at them. "You," She pointed at the trainee. "Where’s your evidence for pointing to someone like this? What if he’s the only one here? Did you see it in your own eyes before spatting nonsense?"

"I..." The trainee’s face flushed in embarrassment because he knew that she was right. He really did not see it and just pointed the young man out. But were his reasons unreasonable?

"Okay." Lin Yu sighs. "You two come with me to the staff room and we’ll see the surveillance camera for what really happened, okay?"

Gu Yijin immediately nodded while the trainee was hesitant at first but followed when Xu Xinyi shot glares at him again.

"Go back to the business." Xu Xinyi claps her hands and dismisses everyone.

Qin An on the other side remains standing near the bottle. He Yan wanted to ask why he was not moving back when Xing Ren called him on the side so he could only leave the young man.

Meanwhile, Qin An looked at the direction of the bottle. If it’s someone else, they may only notice that he was just merely looking at the robot cleaning the spilled tea on the floor but for him, Qin An is looking at the ghost beside it.

It was another ghost, specifically a child soul it is.

The child looks like a six year old. She was wearing a dark blue dress and barefooted. The child’s skin is very fair and it can be seen that she looks very sickly. At first, it may look like she probably died from an illness but Qin An could see a part of her dress wherein the fabric was darker with a dark red wet from it— a blood on her back.

The child died from the blood loss.

Was that wound intentional, thus the child has resentment on her body?

However, even with the dark resentment on her body, Qin An could see the innocence in her eyes. There was no evil nor any malicious intent even when she pushed the bottle earlier, just merely an action from a naughty child.

But how did she get here? Or is she connected to a trainee and followed here?

The child looked at what happened but tilted her head as if she didn’t understand what happened, yet her eyes brightened when she looked at the fallen bottle and her hands alternately.

"I touched it!" She squealed in delight and only did he understand why she pushed the bottle, to try if she could touch anything physical from her soul state.

The child giggled and looked around as if she was eager to look around to try other things. But before she could find her next target, someone actually talked behind her!

"Don’t do that again." Qin An appeared quietly behind her and spoke in a low voice. "You shouldn’t waste your energy on things like this."

"!!!" The child’s eyes widened and she gasped in surprise. Someone talk to her! No, someone can even see her?!

The young girl stood frozen and looked up, only to meet the eyes of a young man who looked very cold. She stiffened for a bit but the expression on her face remained the same.

"If you continue to force yourself and touch things, the energy of your soul will be exhausted." Qin An explains and glances at the resentment on her body. "It will eat you up when the time comes."

"E-Eat?!" The girl looks horrified. Even though she didn’t know some terms of words that the young man used, she still got the meaning of what he just said.

"Don’t try it again."

The young girl could only nod but her eyes widened again when she realized something. "Y-You!" She tremblingly pointed at him and quickly moved herself away and hid the half of her body behind the cleaning robot. "Y-You can see me!"

Qin An didn’t speak but his eyes told her the answer because he can look directly at her.

The young girl gasped again and fear flashed on her face.

"Y-You... are you a ghost too?" she asked. Qin An raised his brow at that question.

"You think so?"

"..." The young girl looked at the shadow behind him and stayed silent. He’s a human! But, why can he see her?!

This is the very first time that someone can see her. She didn’t even know why she ended up like this but all she knew was that from the moment she could walk by herself, she knew something was not right especially when she also noticed that no one could see her.

She wandered around and went to places she didn’t know and arrived at these places.

She thought that it was still like that so she moved around freely. Who would have thought that someone could see her?!

Silence engulfed them after that conversation. The little girl still looks like she couldn’t come to her senses while Qin An suddenly felt like he really didn’t know how to deal with this situation.

He had guided children in the past too. However for him, it was not a good experience even though it was also rather easy to send them to the afterlife.

Children like them don’t know how to express the truest desire in their hearts. They will have tantrums and show extreme unwillingness to leave their family. What’s more, they are noisy.

Qin An always felt like he’d have a headache every time he met them. He doesn’t know how to deal with them.

Because children still don’t have the consciousness of their own self, they don’t have the biggest ambition that could truly be called as the wish in their hearts. They are also sometimes innocent and he even encountered some whose wish was very light, a toy.

But he didn’t know why after he gave that, the child was willing to leave with him.

Wasn’t that too naive?

He doesn’t trick them but just gives them what they want, simple as that. It was way too different from others.

Thus, looking at the child, maybe this situation will be easier?

Qin An squatted down and pretended to look at the cleaning robot but actually spoke slowly to the child.

"What’s your greatest wish?" He asked like the usual.

"Wish?" The little girl looked at him with confusion.

"It’s something that you’ve always wanted to have. If I’ll give it to you, will you go with me?"

"Where are we going?"

"To where you have to go."

The little girl hesitated. "... Is it fun there?"

"Maybe."

"... Is my Mom there too?"

Qin An paused at the question. Her mother?

The young girl lowered her head and looked at her toes as she answered. "I think Mom died too, is she there?"

That made him still. He was silent for a few seconds before finally asking the young girl.

"What happened to you?"

"..." The young girl didn’t answer immediately. She lowered her head more and Qin An noticed that she’s trembling.

She keeps on pinching her fingers and rubbing them roughly. Until such time passes, tears suddenly start streaming down her face. She looked at him with red eyes, filled with aggrieved and confusion.

"Brother, I think me and my Mom were killed, what should I do?"
