Harper was speechless. He felt like he had opened the door to a new world. Amelia thought for a moment and asked, “Who lives next door now?”
The auntie and uncle who had received the money said cooperatively, “The room next door. Are you talking about the original ghost or the tenant?”
Amelia asked curiously, “The original ghost?” Wasn’t this building for people
to live in?
The uncle said, “This place used to be a mass grave. Later on, the city planned it. This land is also within the plan…”

Amelia nodded.
The auntie continued, “When they were digging the foundation, they found a Daoist priest and said that this place has been a mass grave for hundreds of years. Who knows how many people have been buried here? There are more than a thousand ghosts alone and they can’t leave this place. That Daoist priest doesn’t have the ability to subdue us ghosts, but he wants money, so he gave the big boss who built this building an idea. He said that he had to pay attention to the balance of Yin and Yang. It means that after the building is built, he will assign a room to all the ghosts who were originally here. The door will be open to the outside, and the corridor will be filled with Yin energy from beginning to end. The rooms are also according to the standards of the netherworld, so the rooms here are very small…”
Amelia was stunned. “But this will affect the living. Moreover, there are so many ghosts. Will the boss agree?”
The female ghost auntie said, “It’s fine as long as the living don’t stay here permanently. This building is filled with people coming and going. No one can live here for long, so it won’t affect us. We wandering ghosts can’t live here forever. As time passes, we will slowly dissipate. Moreover, the big boss doesn’t have to live here. What does he have to disagree with? On the other hand, some young girls who have just graduated don’t like the environment in the city village and can’t afford to pay the rent of a good neighborhood, so some will live here for a year or two. Oh right, the young lady next door is.”
Amelia’s ears pricked up when she heard this. She held her chin and listened to the story seriously. When the ghost auntie saw Amelia’s cute appearance, she could not help but soften her voice. “The young lady next door has lived here for three years. She’s lived here for too long and has some mental problems. ”
Amelia nodded. “Before we came, my father got someone to investigate. He said that there are many people jumping off buildings in Willow Hotel.” In other words, the female ghost who pestered Harper’s brother was not the first.
The ghost auntie nodded. “That’s right. If you live here for a long time, those whose fates aren’t strong enough will be in a daze and even be depressed…” Everyone had bad people, and of course, ghosts had bad ghosts. There were many ghosts who took advantage of the tenants’ weakness to take their lives.
The ghost auntie: “After the tenant dies, if he meets someone who doesn’t know how to do it and doesn’t connect it properly when he picks up the deceased, the deceased’s soul will be trapped here and become a servant of the original ghost.”
Amelia was enlightened. “So the people living next door are the original ghosts and the sister who jumped off the building?”
The ghost aunt and uncle were surprised. How did Amelia know?
The ghost auntie said, “The young lady next door doesn’t like to go out usually. After coming back from work, she stays in the house and plays games.
I heard that she often plays with a game sparring partner.”
Harper: n …” A game sparring partner? It couldn’t be him, could it?!

Amelia asked, “Game sparring partner? My brother is also a game sparring partner!
The ghost auntie glanced at Harper. “l see… The girl next door doesn’t have many friends. She shares a house with another girl, but the two of them don’t seem to have a good relationship. The other girl sometimes brings her boyfriend back for the night. The two of them often have conflicts.”
Harper was speechless. Why did this plot sound a little familiar? He remembered that some time ago, he often received a training partner’s order in the middle of the night. The person opposite him said that her roommate often brought her boyfriend back for the night.
“And?” Harper couldn’t help asking.
The ghost auntie said, “Then there was no ‘then’!”
Harper said nothing. He was about to listen. ‘There’s no then?’
The ghost auntie said, “When that girl jumped off the building, she caused a huge commotion in the house, scaring her roommates so much that they didn’t dare to come back. I heard that she fell in love with a boy who played games with her. Before that girl jumped off the building, she wore a red shirt and wrote the other party’s name. However, she didn’t seem to have seen that boy… Because I’ve seen the note she left behind. It wasn’t a person’s name at all, but a bunch of messy words.. I think it’s called.. an emotionless game machine?”
