Chapter 1487: Not an illusion?

"Ok?"

The girl responded.

If the man's voice had not made her feel uncomfortable, she would have hung up the phone even if he had called her name.

The man's hesitation to speak made her feel that perhaps this strange gentleman really had something to ask her.

After all, she had received so many calls from this number.

A whole five.

She was sleeping and her phone was on silent mode on the bedside table, so she didn't hear the call.

I woke up at this time, picked up my phone and found that I had so many missed calls.

Few people called her so many times.

It's an unfamiliar number though.

She didn't know, if she didn't answer this time, would this number keep calling her?

It was undeniable that she was really curious.

Curious about the content of this call.

……

"Is such that……"

The girl's voice undoubtedly meant urging her.

The middle-aged man calmed down and spoke slowly, "Do you still remember the tomb ghost?"

"……what?"

The girl looked puzzled, "Grave ghost?"

"what is that?"

The middle-aged man was stunned.

"The person's name?"

The girl's voice continued to come, "Is this your real name?"

Would anyone really choose this name?
A name with the word "ghost" in it?
Although I was confused, I said, "I'm sorry."

"I do not know him."

"No, it's not a person."

The middle-aged man subconsciously corrected the girl's statement.

Classmate Xiao said that tomb ghosts are monsters.

But, don’t you know…?

The middle-aged man's heart sank slightly.

Did the girl simply forget the tomb ghost, or did she just never know the tomb ghost's name?

……

"……not human?"

The girl became more and more surprised and confused, "Is that the name of an animal?"

This is much more acceptable than a person's name.

It's true that some people give their pets strange names.

But, “Why ask me?”

The girl had never had a pet, and she knew her family would not allow it.

"Whether the tomb ghost is a human or an animal, I don't recognize it."

"You got the wrong guy."

……

“It’s not an animal.”

The middle-aged man once again denied the girl's guess.

He hoped that the girl had not forgotten the tomb ghost, but was just unfamiliar with the name.

……

“…Ah~?”

The girl opened her mouth and said, "It's not a person, nor an animal, so what is it?"

"Excuse me, sir, could you please speak more clearly?"

The girl rubbed her temple with her hand.

My already confused brain was even more dizzy after I woke up. "How did you get my phone number?"

"You know my name."

"Do you know me?"

"Why do you think I know... Grave Ghost?"

……

The girl asked a lot of questions.

The middle-aged man completely recovered to normal.

After all, it was the first time in his life that he was talking to a strange girl about monsters on the phone, so he still felt a little nervous.

"Chu Kexin, why don't you go to the grave?"

The middle-aged man changed the question.

Otherwise, if he was asked to describe the appearance of a tomb ghost to the girl, how could he describe it when he had never seen one?
Sure enough, it would be more appropriate for classmate Xiao to make this call.

The middle-aged man smiled bitterly.

……

"Comb sweeping?"

The girl really found the call confusing.

She kept saying things she didn't quite understand.

"Does this have anything to do with you?"

The girl's tone became a little impatient.

She thought maybe it was time for her to hang up.

"Your mother's grave."

“You also made a friend there.”

The middle-aged man spoke faster, "Do you still remember that friend?" "..."

There was no sound coming from the phone.

But the slight breathing sound let the middle-aged man know that the girl was thinking about what he had just said.

"……friend?"

The girl didn't quite believe the guess that flashed through her mind.

It was just an illusion she had as a child, wasn't it?

Then, her face froze.

However, a seemingly plausible remark from someone else suddenly brought back that memory.

As if she had never forgotten...

She thought she had forgotten it long ago.

……

"Ah."

The middle-aged man looked up at the sky above.

The moonlight is very beautiful today.

"You also gave it one, no, two small flower baskets."

"You later gave it another one."

"It's a little flower basket you made yourself."

"Do you remember it?"

There was silence on the phone.

The middle-aged man did not say anything else.

He thought the girl might need some time to sort out her thoughts.

"……Who are you?"

"How do you know this?"

The girl tapped her head gently.

His expression became somewhat solemn.

This should be something only she knows...

So what about this person?

"Feel sorry."

The middle-aged man laughed, "I forgot to introduce myself."

"Hello, Chu Kexin, my name is..."

"I do not know you."

Before the middle-aged man could continue speaking, the girl interrupted him.

Unfamiliar voices.

Sure enough, it is an unfamiliar name.

She had been wondering if she actually knew the person on the other end of the phone, but she had just forgotten.

……

"Ok, I know."

The middle-aged man nodded.

If it weren't for the story of the tomb ghost, he wouldn't have known about this girl.

"..."

The girl pursed her lips.

"It's a long story."

The middle-aged man knew that the girl must be confused now, "When we were visiting the graves during the Qingming Festival..."

"My family's grave is right next to your mother's grave."

The middle-aged man explained.

Then he continued his story, "I accidentally picked up a small flower basket..."

"I didn't know this little basket had an owner. I thought it was just thrown there..."

The middle-aged man told the girl about his experiences and what he had seen and heard during this period.

The girl is the friend that the grave ghost wants to see.

He didn't think there was any need to hide these from the girl.

Moreover, in order for the girl to believe his words, honesty is necessary.

……

“…This is how it happened.”

The middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief.

It was only a few days, but when I talk about it I realize a lot has happened.

"Chu Kexin, why don't you go to the grave?"

The middle-aged man couldn't help but ask the same question again.

He was really confused.

Even if it's not for the tomb ghosts, hasn't he visited his mother's grave for so many years?
……

"..."

There was a sound of the girl's rapid breathing on the phone.

What the middle-aged man just said was a big shock to her.

Tomb ghost...Is it called a tomb ghost?

It had never been told to her.

However, it always remembered her name.

The corners of the girl's mouth curved upward, and there was a smile in her eyes.

But soon, the girl's expression became stunned again.

Tomb ghosts... do they really exist?

Wasn't it her hallucination?
