Gyala quickly shook her head. “l don’t know. It’s not my stuff in here. It’s the landlord’s. He said it was some computer accessories and some junk. He told me not to move it. Just leave it like this.”
Alex scoffed. “Are you that assured? Are you going to leave it just because he told you to?”
Gyala was speechless and said resentfully, “There won’t be anything in such a drawer, right…” This kind of situation was quite common. The landlord rented out the house, but he couldn’t bear to lose some of his old items. He didn’t have anywhere to move them, so he would leave them in the original house and remind the tenants not to touch these things, or simply let the tenants use them.
Alex scoffed. ‘You’re quite trusting.”
Amelia shook her head and added, “Sister Gyala, you’re so trusting.”
Alex: ‘
Gyala: ‘
Alex wore gloves and tore off the transparent tape that was sealed on the drawer. Gyala said, “This is the smell of dead rats that I smelled this morning.
It was really too smelly, so I sealed it…”
Amelia was puzzled. “Sister, it stinks in here. Don’t you find it strange?”
Gyala shook her head. “l thought the rats were dead in there. I even called the landlord.’
Alex paused and was speechless. Some young people who had just entered society were indeed innocent, but someone as innocent as Gyala was really… One day, when they were sold, they would even help count the money.
The moment the transparent tape was torn off, a stench assaulted Amelia’s face. She hurriedly covered her nose! At this moment, the female ghost that she had pieced together slowly woke up. Seeing this, she was confused for a moment. “Who are you?”
Amelia didn’t answer. Her father had told her not to talk to ghosts when they were outside, in case they thought she was crazy. Although Amelia didn’t think so, her father must have had a point, so she was obedient enough not to talk to ghosts.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, the female ghost was used to it. After all, ordinary people couldn’t see ghosts. Those who could see ghosts were the anomalies. However, she glanced at Amelia suspiciously. Just now, she only heard the sound of the door being kicked open. Right on the heels of that, a peach wood sword smashed straight at her… Then, she shattered! The female ghost wasn’t sure if the person who threw the peach wood sword at her was Amelia or… She turned her gaze and looked straight at Alex. Then, she floated over faintly, her mouth stretching to her ears. She suddenly leaned closer to Alex. “Is that you? You can see me, right?”
Alex’s expression did not change. He was unmoved.
Amelia was confused. What was this female ghost doing?
Seeing that Alex didn’t even blink, the female ghost was puzzled. Could she have made a mistake? The man in front of her looked like a Daoist priest. It couldn’t be that this immature child was a Daoist priest who collected ghosts, right?
The female ghost saw Alex’s actions and squatted at the side. She said bitterly, “Someone finally found me…” She had been lying inside for a long time. She couldn’t remember how long it had been. She only knew that it had been a long time…
Alex pulled hard on the cabinet door. It was locked and wouldn’t open. He crouched in front of the cabinet and asked without looking up, “Do you have a screwdriver?”
Gyala hurriedly got up. “Yes, I’ll get it…”
Amelia imitated Alex and squatted in front of the cabinet. “Dad, it’s locked.
Can you open it with a screwdriver? Don’t you have to use a key?”
Alex reached out and touched the lock. Gyala happened to bring in a screwdriver. He took it. “Daughter, watch carefully. Daddy will teach you how to pick a lock today.”
Amelia nodded. “Yes, yes!’
Alex really explained seriously, “Look, touch it first to confirm the approximate location of the lock core…”
Amelia held out her hand. “Touch it. Where’s the lock core… Alex said, “Then stick the screwdriver in this spot…”
Amelia said, “And then stick the screwdriver in this spot…”
Alex said, “Then this way first, then this…” He held the screwdriver in one hand and exerted strength in his palm. With a bang, it hit the top of the screwdriver handle. The lock clicked open.
Amelia seemed to say, “Understood!” Wasn’t this just physical work! She knew how to do it too! She would give it a try when she got back!
Alex didn’t know that Amelia was thinking about this. He pulled open the drawer. He didn’t expect it to be quite deep. It was up to the bed and hadn’t been completely pulled out..
