Real ghost

　　"I wonder how they are doing…"

　　After he became a resident of the apartment, Chen decided to divorce his wife after much deliberation. 

　　After all, his wife was still young, and after he moved into the apartment, no one knew what the future held. 

　　In this day and age, a divorced woman and a widow were completely different concepts. 

　　The former would naturally find it much easier to remarry than the latter. 

　　Moreover, he couldn't tell his wife the truth, otherwise, he would be considered a delusional patient.

　　In the end, he gritted his teeth, gave a migrant worker a sum of money, and acted out a scene in front of his wife, saying that he had been fooling around outside and therefore wanted to divorce her. 

　　After all, if he divorced for no reason, his wife would only keep looking for the reason, and she might think that he had a hard time and wouldn't be willing to divorce him. 

　　As a result, Chen bore all the blame, even his own son looked down on him. 

　　His wife was very angry at first, and because Chen had to live in the apartment, he left home with a divorce agreement and only let the lawyer talk to his wife. 

　　This made his wife even more convinced that he had completely changed his heart. 

　　She thought long and hard, and finally signed the divorce agreement.

　　Although this had happened half a year ago, Chen still felt very painful when he thought about it.

　　His wife was very strong-willed, the house they lived in was mainly bought with Chen's money, and the owner was registered as Chen, so his wife simply left home, took their son, and went out to work and earn money to support their son.

　　For a time, those who didn't know the truth all blamed Chen. 

　　Even his own parents said that they would cut off contact with him if he didn't reconcile with his wife. 

　　His relatives and friends told him that it was understandable for men to fool around outside, and it was normal to lose their way occasionally, but there was no need to "dismiss" his wife! 

　　Some people also asked him if he wasn't going to fight for custody of his son?

　　Of course, Chen couldn't fight for custody of his son. 

　　He couldn't live with his son. 

　　And, as the party at fault, even if he fought for custody, the court wouldn't likely grant it to him.

　　In the half year after the divorce, Chen had been sending his wife alimony on time, but she never contacted him proactively. 

　　Moreover, his wife's new home was quite far away, although it was more than enough time to make a round trip in forty-eight hours, no one could guarantee that there wouldn't be a traffic jam or some kind of emergency, so he usually wouldn't leave the apartment unless it was necessary. 

　　In the end, Chen gathered his courage and went to see his wife once, but she refused to see him.

　　After the residents of the apartment found out about his experience, they were all very moved. 

　　Especially Yuan, after knowing about it, said: 

　　"Don't be discouraged! Once we leave this apartment alive, I will definitely help you pursue your wife again! Although even then, we can't tell her about the apartment, but at least you can be with her!"

　　Yuan's sincere words deeply touched Chen, so he became close friends with Yuan. 

　　The two of them made an agreement to leave the apartment alive together!

　　But who would have thought… Yuan would leave before him. 

　　His past vows were still fresh in his ears, but Yuan was already gone forever.

　　"I will live for both of us! Yuan!"

　　Out of the four, Tang ran the slowest.

　　Tang was one of the residents who was closest to Li in the apartment, and he also had a good relationship with Chen. 

　　Tang was a very gentle and kind person, a typical good man. Everyone in the apartment would call him "Doctor Tang" when they saw him. 

　　Tang's parents were not in the country, and he worked at a large hospital in the city. 

　　As a surgeon, he often helped treat the residents when they carried out blood inscription instructions, and even provided the residents with many medications and emergency medical knowledge, which moved the residents very much. 

　　The residents all privately thought that if a resident in the apartment died, more than half of the residents would be heartbroken and cry, and that resident would definitely be Doctor Tang.

　　Tang admired Li's father, Li Yong, very much. 

　　Yong was the director of Zhengtian Hospital, a famous comprehensive hospital in the city. 

　　Li's mother was the chairman of the board of the hospital. 

　　Tang had once attended a medical lecture given by Director Li, and he greatly admired Director Li's professional knowledge.

　　For this reason, he had a particularly good relationship with Li. 

　　But he was very surprised that Li didn't inherit his father's hospital but became a web novelist. 

　　He couldn't help but feel very curious.

　　He had discussed medical knowledge with Li, and found that Li's talent in this area was no less than his father's.

　　Li's explanation was that he didn't like this kind of fated inheritance.

　　Anyway, he wasn't only proficient in medicine, he could also work in other fields. 

　　However, Tang always felt that this wasn't the main reason. 

　　He felt that Li didn't want to be a doctor because he was sensitive to death. 

　　To be a doctor, you had to face the birth, aging, illness, and death of people all the time, which was actually a great test of one's mental toughness.

　　Li once said, "I always feel that if you're a doctor for too long, you will become very numb to people's death. No matter how tragic the death is, it won't evoke sadness. I don't like that. To be happy for the living and sad for the dead, that's what it means to be human."

　　That sentence had always been deeply etched in Tang's heart. 

　　He agreed with Li's statement. 

　　For doctors, medical skills were certainly important, but compassion and sympathy were also essential. 

　　Only by never forgetting the awe of life in your heart, could you do your utmost to save every life.

　　As Tang was thinking about this, he was already far away from the top of the mountain. 

　　Suddenly, his phone vibrated in his pocket. 

　　He took it out and saw that it was a call from Li.

　　Tang answered the phone and asked, "Li, what's wrong?"

　　"Tang… have you chosen the 'ghost'? I just had some new thoughts about the blood inscription instruction, and I wanted to talk to you about it."

　　"Oh, we have. What are your thoughts?"

　　"How did you choose? Who's going to be the 'ghost'?"

　　"We decided by playing rock-paper-scissors. Si is going to be the 'ghost'."

　　Li didn't seem to hear clearly and asked again: "Who? Who is going to be the 'ghost'?"

　　"Si, the one from Room 1215, the one who likes to play Tarot cards."

　　Li yelled into the phone suddenly:

　　"Tang! Wake up! Our apartment only goes up to 1214 on the 12th floor, Room 1215? Si? Is there such a resident in this apartment?"

　　"Li… Li, what are you joking about, didn't Si gather with us downstairs before and say that the blood inscription appeared in his room…"

　　"Wake up! Only you, Chen, Yang, and Zhang received this blood inscription instruction! Where did this Si come from?!"

　　Tang suddenly jolted, and his brain suddenly became clear…

　　Right…

　　When did our apartment have a resident named Si? 

　　Even if I search my memory bank, I can't find this person!

　　What living in Room 1215, a resident who liked to use Tarot cards to do fortune telling, everything related to Si in the past…

　　All fake memories!

　　It was probably after leaving the apartment, that they encountered "it," and then were misled by "it," thinking that "it" was also a resident of the apartment, and then followed "it" to Huayan Mountain, and through playing rock-paper-scissors, decided to let "it" be the ghost…

　　At this moment, Tang realized something.

　　That is to say… the four of them were now playing hide-and-seek with a real "ghost"…
