I almost stepped back,my calves were trembling,and I almost wanted to run away!
Just then,the middle-aged man's steady and strong hand grabbed me.That somewhat warm hand pulled me back from the abyss of fear again.
This time,I completely believed the middle-aged man.No matter what that stupid employee or that stupid food delivery company said,I would never deliver food in this damned place again.
"Uncle,no,Master,please save me.Now I admit it.Please have mercy on me.If I can get out this time,you'll be my reborn parents,and I'll never forget it for the rest of my life!"
I almost cried as I spoke.Even though my grandma in my hometown was superstitious,this was the first time in my life that I had encountered a ghost,and what's more,it was a ghost that wanted to take my life.
I almost knelt down in front of the middle-aged man,but his strong hands held me up again.
"You...Sigh,forget it.Tonight,you'll probably have to finish delivering the food orders you should.Otherwise,you won't have a chance to get out alive."
As my phone kept vibrating,there were actually a lot more orders at this time.Judging from the middle-aged man's words,these orders were definitely related to District C.
"Master,what exactly is District C?Why do I have to finish delivering the food tonight?Can't I just leave directly?"
The middle-aged man glanced around and took out a strange bottle of liquid from his pocket.
"District C used to be a mass grave.Later,buildings were built,but the buildings couldn't be completed,and they were all turned into low buildings.Then,there was a big fire that burned a lot of people to death.Later,it was said that there were often hauntings here.Except for poor young men like you,there probably aren't many people who dare to come to District C."
Hearing the middle-aged man's words,he opened the strange bottle of liquid,shook it,and then handed it to me.
"What is this,Master?"
"This is cow's tears.Put it on,and you'll be able to see whether it's a human or a ghost.Remember,ghosts have no shadows.And take these talismans too."
I took the bottle of cow's tears.The middle-aged man then took out three yellow talismans with characters drawn in cinnabar on them and placed them in my hand.
"Ghosts can be divided into good and bad.If the ghost also has a black forehead,stick the talisman on its forehead.If not,it doesn't intend to harm you,so just ignore it."
The middle-aged man pointed at his chest and then said solemnly,"Those with a black forehead are wronged or unjustly killed ghosts.They're here to find a'substitute'.Remember..."
"The scariest thing isn't the ghost,but the heart."
