Chapter 1112: Ghost Substitute, Putrid Smell of Water
??
When Shi Ran said that he was leaving, the others were stunned. After all, he had just arrived. Why was he leaving so soon?
Wei Panyang thought that Shi Ran was repulsed by Fang Yinglong’s appearance. Could it be that the two of them also had a feud?
But he was already here, so why leave? Wei Panyang put his hand on a dazed-looking Shi Ran’s shoulder and whispered a few words to him.
Hearing that Shi Ran was leaving, Jiang Duo was the most anxious. He still had some things to ask.
Why was this kid leaving so soon?
Without waiting for Jiang Duo to stop him, Shi Ran went to the door, but was suddenly blocked by Fang Yinglong. The latter’s lips widened in a strange smile, and a sly voice slipped out for one second before it immediately switched to a man’s voice. “We’re all brothers; why are you leaving?”
The others didn’t notice, but Shi Ran, who was right in front of him, was distracted. He vaguely felt that he might have heard wrongly, but no matter how he looked at this “Fang Yinglong” in front of him, he didn’t seem right. The more Shi Ran looked at him, the more unfamiliar Fang Yinglong felt. His heart abruptly sank, the blood gradually drained from his face, his whole body trembled faintly and his fingers twitched.
Fang Yinglong closed the door and regained his composure. He occasionally spoke to the others, and the strangeness from before faded, as if Shi Ran had just been seeing things.
Seeing him in a daze, Fang Yinglong patted his shoulder. “Come and sit down.” After saying that, he picked up a wine glass, poured himself a cup, and said to Jin Ming and the others, “It was my fault just now; let me apologize with this cup! Why don’t we stay up all night and have a good time?”
With that, Fang Yinglong drained his cup.
Seeing that Fang Yinglong was willing to take a step back, the others heaved sighs of relief. Wei Panyang was in a good mood and continued, “That’s right, Yinglong said that we’re all good brothers! Don’t fuss over small matters!”
Jin Ming’s whole body hurt from Fang Yinglong’s kick. Seeing Fang Yinglong give him a way out, he just felt that the other party was scheming and pretending to be a good person. He didn’t even say a word of apology to him directly. Was this matter going to pass just like that? That was too easy for him. He was filled with hatred, but he squeezed out a stiff fake smile.
Shi Ran’s intuition had always been good. Although Wang Yu contacted his girlfriend before he died, Shi Ran had keenly felt that he had been acting strangely that night. It was just that he had still been a materialist then and didn’t believe that there were ghosts in this world.
Standing in the private room at that moment and listening to Fang Yinglong’s voice, he felt inexplicably uneasy, and that something would happen tonight.
Seeing that he didn’t move, Fang Yinglong stared at him again, and his lips curled into a strange smile. “Why aren’t you sitting down? We’re all brothers, so why are you treating me like an outsider?”
Shi Ran’s pupils contracted. By then, Jiang Duo had already pulled him to the side. He leaned in close and said in a low voice, “Don’t go yet. I have a few questions about Wang Yu’s death!”
As soon as Shi Ran heard the words “Wang Yu’s death,” he saw Fang Yinglong looking at him from afar. His back tightened and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. His face was pale and terrified. “I don’t know, I don’t know anything!”
Wei Panyang had organized this party. Seeing that the atmosphere wasn’t good, he simply picked a few songs to liven up the atmosphere. After singing one song, he had the others go and pick a song.
Jin Ming originally liked karaoke, but it hurt when he breathed; how could he sing? Jiang Duo, Xiao Ningjin and the others were even less interested in singing and were only interested in drinking and playing dice.
Wei Panyang placed the microphone on the table and saw Xiong Luoying, Chang Hao and the others drinking and playing cards and dice. After placing the microphone on the table, he couldn’t be bothered with the atmosphere and went to join them.
While the group was focused on playing and drinking, the sound of a Beijing opera suddenly rang out, scaring everyone. The group looked up and saw Fang Yinglong pick up the microphone and sing. Not only was it a Beijing opera, he was also singing in a female voice.
There was no light in the private room, and the sharp female voice was haunting, which gave everyone goosebumps.
When they saw that it was Fang Yinglong singing, everyone’s eyes almost popped out – only Shi Ran had a terrified and uneasy expression on his face. They simply didn’t understand what was wrong with Fang Yinglong today.
It was as if his style had completely changed. If it wasn’t for his appearance and personality, they would have suspected that he was a different person.
Jin Ming was the first to jeer when he heard Fang Yinglong, and the others also cheered after that. Only Xiao Ningjin didn’t laugh, because he realized that Shi Ran was trembling all over.
Wei Panyang slapped his knee and laughed. “Yinglong, you’re the man tonight! When did you change your style?”
Seeing that Fang Yinglong was drenched as he sat on a chair, Wei Panyang couldn’t help but ask, “Do you want to change out of your jacket first?”
But Fang Yinglong continued singing, as if he didn’t hear Wei Panyang at all.
Jin Ming deliberately said, “Yinglong, your temper has gotten worse recently. You won’t listen to Young Master Wei?”
Afraid that the two of them would start acting up again, Jiang Duo immediately changed the subject. He frowned and listened to Fang Yinglong sing. He realized that not only was Fang Yinglong singing in a female voice, his behavior was also a bit like a woman’s. It was strange no matter how he looked at it!
At that moment, Xiong Luoying and Chang Hao quietly said, “Damn, we’ve known each other for so long, but who knew that Old Ying had this talent? Not to mention, he sings pretty well.”
Hearing this, his body shook even more.
The more Xiao Ningjin looked at him, the more he felt that something was wrong. He grabbed Shi Ran’s trembling arm. “Are you okay?”
Shi Ran nodded vigorously, making Xiao Ningjin look at his pale face in disbelief.
Not long after, a server brought over a lot of alcohol. Wei Panyang said that everyone would drink until they were drunk tonight.
The others had been holding back for a while because of Wang Yu and Shen Zhihua’s deaths. They were used to indulging and partying all night. After holding back for too long, everyone was very excited. They drank and played dice.
Fang Yinglong usually liked to play dice, but tonight, he suddenly liked to sing. Everyone also got used to listening to Beijing opera. Except for teasing Fang Yinglong for a while, they couldn’t be bothered anymore after that. If he liked to sing, so be it.
Shi Ran’s right eyelid kept twitching. He sat in the private room for several hours in a daze, his face turning paler and paler. He gritted his teeth and suddenly found an excuse to go to the washroom.
Wei Panyang raised his eyes and glanced at Shi Ran. “If you dare sneak away, we’ll cut ties with you in the future!”
On the side, Xiong Luoying and the others echoed, “That’s right!”
Smoking a cigarette, Jiang Duo said, “Ah Ran, come back soon. I still have something to say to you!”
Shi Ran got up and left in a daze, but didn’t realize that Fang Yinglong was looking at his back with a sinister and strange smile. With his lips parted strangely, his face looked like it had a huge hole in it. His excited face looked a little bloated, and dark purple and faint blue corpse spots gradually appeared on his face.
“What’s that smell? It stinks.” Jiang Duo’s nose was sharp, and he smelled it first.
The stench gradually grew stronger, and the others also smelled it. It was like the smell of a rotting ditch, and was very unpleasant.
Wei Panyang wanted to drink, and almost threw up at the smell. He couldn’t even drink a sip.
Xiao Ningjin, Xiong Luoying and the others also frowned, not knowing where this sudden smell came from.
At that moment, Fang Yinglong put down the microphone and also found an excuse to go to the washroom.
Because of the putrid odor, no one cared about him going out, but after Fang Yinglong left, the putrid odor seemed to fade a little.
“Why did the smell suddenly fade? Where the hell did that smell come from?” Jiang Duo stopped pinching his nose. The putrid odor had faded a lot, and he heaved a sigh of relief and his face looked a little better.
The putrid odor faded and everyone’s faces looked much better, but they had no idea where it came from!
At that moment, Jin Ming said, “I saw Fang Yinglong go out just now. As soon as he went out, the smell faded. When he sat next to me just now, I smelled water. It was too unpleasant. How many days has it been since Fang Yinglong showered?”
Everyone looked at Jin Ming and said nothing.
Wei Panyang even directly said that since Fang Yinglong had apologized, he shouldn’t take issue with him.
Jin Ming’s face was very unsightly. He had indeed said those words on purpose to mock Fang Yinglong, but most of what he said was true. When Fang Yinglong sat next to him just now, there had indeed been an unpleasant smell of water.
Jin Ming’s face was very unsightly when he saw that the others didn’t believe him and even said that he was falsely blaming Fang Yinglong. If he didn’t get back at Fang Yinglong for beating him up, his surname wasn’t Jin. Jin Ming thought of how Fang Yinglong had gone to the washroom, so he also got up and found an excuse to go to the washroom.
