Chapter 131: Obsessed

　　"Lin Kai, I've been waiting for you in Dorm 404 for a long time. Didn't we agree to play the game together? Why haven't you come yet?"

　　Pan Lin Kai sent a screenshot of the WeChat message he received to Lu Fei.

　　The message was sent by someone using Guo Hai Tao's profile picture.

　　The message was sent at midnight.

　　When Pan Linkai saw the message in the morning, he felt terrible.

　　"Lu Fei, you have to believe me, this is definitely not a prank, I don't have the time for such pranks." His voice was trembling, "I clicked and checked the information; it was sent by Haitao, not someone else pretending to be him."

　　"What should I do, Lu Fei? He came to find me. He must think it's because we took him to the haunted building that he died."

　　"But why is he only targeting me?"

　　"We weren't the only ones who went to the haunted building; there were also Daliang and Xiaoming. I asked them, and they haven't received any messages."

　　Room 404 in the old campus is the most famous location for hauntings in the ghost building.

　　At that time, the four of them played the four corners game in that dormitory.

　　"Lin Kai, calm down first." Lu Fei didn't think it was a prank; he immediately thought of Guo Haitao's phone.

　　Perhaps, besides the negative energy, Guo Haitao's resentment was also attached to the phone.

　　Dying young at the hands of a ghost, there must be a lingering sense of injustice.

　　"How can I stay calm? He's already sent me a message, he's definitely going to come for me." Pan Linkai was overwhelmed with panic and worry, not knowing who to turn to for help.

　　"Lu Fei, I saw you give Aunt Guo a talisman that day, what kind of talisman was it? Can you give me one?"

　　"A safety talisman won't solve the problem," Lu Fei thought for a moment. "Linkai, do you want to go with me to Haitao's place again?"

　　"Go again? Isn't that like delivering ourselves to him?"

　　"Last time we went, it was just to visit Haitao's parents, we didn't see him. This time, let's bring some incense, candles, and paper money to pay our respects to him. Hopefully, he will rest in peace and stop causing trouble for you, okay?"

　　When it comes to exorcism, it's usually better to show respect first before taking action, especially when the other party is a college roommate.

　　Lu Fei sincerely hoped he would rest in peace.

　　"Will this work?" Pan Linkai was very hesitant.

　　"Do you have a better idea?" Lu Fei asked.

　　"If it really comes to that, I'll go to another place like Daliang and Xiaoming did. I don't believe he can find me there." Pan Linkai gritted his teeth.

　　"You can try." Lu Fei was about to hang up the phone.

　　"Wait, Lu Fei…" Pan Linkai hesitated for a moment, "I think I'll go. This job was hard for my family to secure, and if I quit and run to another place, my parents would scold me to death."

　　"Alright, buy some joss sticks, paper money, and other such items. Don't be stingy at this time; try to get the best ones. Also, prepare some of what Haotao liked to eat when he was alive. People who die suddenly often have unresolved grievances. If we can make them feel at peace, they won't cause trouble for others."

　　After hearing Lu Fei's words, Pan Linkai was stunned for a while.

　　"Lu Fei, how do you know about these things?"

　　"I'll now contact Haotao's parents and let you know once we set a time."

　　Without answering him, Lu Fei hung up the phone and sent a message to class leader Wang Feng to get the contact number of Guo Haotao's parents, and then called them.

　　Guo Haotao's father was very moved to hear that they wanted to pay their respects to Haotao.

　　The time was set for the next morning.

　　Lu Fei left Hu Zi to watch the store and went to wait downstairs at Guo Haitao's house.

　　It wasn't long before Pan Linke arrived, carrying large and small bags.

　　"Lu Fei, do you think these are enough?"

　　Lu Fei took a look; there were quite a few things, but they were all cheap items.

　　"I haven't received my salary yet, so I'm a bit short on cash," Pan Linke said awkwardly.

　　"It's fine, it's the thought that counts."

　　Lu Fei helped him carry some of the items, and the two went upstairs.

　　Guo's father opened the door for them.

　　In just a few days, Guo's father seemed to have aged considerably, his hair even whiter, and his brows furrowed with worry.

　　Lu Fei couldn't help but think of his own grandfather and sincerely said, "Uncle Guo, you need to take care of yourself."

　　"Good kids, thank you. I can still hold on, it's mainly your Aunt Guo who can't get over it, she... sigh! If you have time, please help me talk to her." Father Guo glanced towards the kitchen.

　　Mother Guo was in there cooking, looking quite normal, but Father Guo's eyes were filled with worry.

　　After a brief chat, Lu Fei and Pan Linhai first went to pay their respects to Guo Haitao.

　　A memorial photo was already set up in the room.

　　In black and white, Guo Haitao smiled slightly at the people outside the picture frame.

　　Pan Linhai felt an inexplicable fear.

　　But with Lu Fei by his side, he mustered up the courage to walk over, place the offerings, and light the incense.

　　"Haitao, your death really has nothing to do with me. We all played the game together at the time, and we didn't know what would happen later… Can I take care of your parents more in the future? Please, don't come after me."

　　After paying his respects earnestly, Pan Linhai inserted the incense into the burner.

　　"Lu Fei, is this okay?"

　　"Let's go see Aunt Guo again." Lu Fei's main purpose for this trip was Guo Haitao's mobile phone.

　　He needed to find out if it was indeed Guo Haitao's phone that sent the message to Pan Linkai.

　　Just as they turned around, they suddenly saw Aunt Guo standing expressionlessly at the door.

　　Her face was ashen, and she held the bloodstained phone in her arms, looking at the two with a terrifying gaze.

　　Pan Linkai was startled by the sight.

　　Lu Fei's heart also skipped a beat. He looked at the phone, from which the eerie presence seemed to have become even stronger, already affecting Aunt Guo.

　　Aunt Guo's complexion was very poor, with bruise-like shadows under her eyes.

　　"Aunt, did you find that text message? Do you want me to take the phone to get it fixed?" Lu Fei approached calmly and smiled.

　　"What do you want? Are you trying to take something that belongs to Haitao!" Aunt Guo reacted strongly, protecting the phone tightly in her arms, glaring at Lu Fei with a hateful look.

　　"Dear, look clearly, they are Haitao's classmates, here to visit him," Uncle Guo hurriedly stepped in to explain.

　　But Guo's mother wouldn't listen to him at all. She was like a person possessed, even being wary of him.

　　"You all want to harm my son, you're not allowed to come over! I'll fight you!" she shouted incoherently, looking absolutely terrifying.

　　"Okay, okay, we won't move. You go back inside and calm down, alright?" Guo's father could only coax her.

　　She ran back into the house, muttering to herself while holding her phone.

　　"As you can see, her condition is getting worse every day. For the past two days, she's been saying that Haitao has been calling her, and she can hear his voice," Guo's father sighed heavily.

　　"Uncle Guo, last time I gave Aunt Guo a protection charm. Hasn't she been carrying it with her?" Lu Fei asked.

　　"A protection charm? I haven't seen it. Did she lose it?" Guo's father said blankly.

　　"Lost it?" Lu Fei frowned slightly.

　　No wonder the negative energy on the phone hasn't been dispelled; instead, it seems to be increasing. It turns out she didn't use the ghost-repelling characters at all.

　　It appears that the phone has turned into an evil object, affecting her mind.

　　Lu Fei's expression turned serious.

　　"Uncle Guo, to be frank, Auntie's condition is very bad. We must separate her from the phone. Otherwise, she will get into trouble if this continues."
