Excessive ferocity due to caution

When the ghost baby mentioned its mother's past, it became extremely agitated. It bared its teeth on the rooftop, its gaping maw radiating terrifying resentment. Each rub of its sharp fangs produced a piercing sound that sent chills down one's spine!

After a brief commotion, it suddenly remembered something, pulled a tattered diary from its mother's dirty clothes, and spread it out in front of Zhao Yi and the other person.

Zhao Yi threw the cigarette butt into a stinking puddle, squatted down in front of the diary, and briefly flipped through it.

[My first day at work today, I'm so excited! I'm determined to work hard, realize my potential, and contribute to the company's growth!]

[By the way... the company's archives manager spoke to me today! He's a really nice guy, and handsome too.]

Hehe, so happy!

...

【4023.11.26】

The workload at the company is huge, but I'm still full of energy. Keep it up, Yoyo!

[Um...the administrator, Meng Cunhua, came to talk to me again today! He even brought me a six-yuan milk tea at noon! All my colleagues in the office were staring at me...so embarrassing!!]

...

【4023.12.1】

【Sleepy.】

...

【4023.12.2】

I miss him.

...

【4023.12.9】

He hasn't come to see me for over a week, sob, did he do something wrong at work and get punished by his boss...?

What should I do? I think I'm falling for him...

The days without seeing him are so hard to bear... *sobs*

...

【4023.12.12】

Wow... Meng Cunhua actually confessed his feelings to me!!

【Ha ha!】

【I actually got together with the boy I like! Yay!】

...

【4023.12.20】

Today I gave my precious first time to my husband, hehe, he's so gentle, such a good person!!

...

【4024.1.22】

My period is late this month, my stomach is uncomfortable, and my chest hurts...

"I...I'm not pregnant, am I...?"

...

【4024.1.25】

I asked someone to bring me a pregnancy test, and it showed two lines...

Waaaaah... What should I do?

I'll probably lose my job...

It's all my fault; I didn't insist that my husband wear a condom that day...

...

【4024.1.27】

Should I tell my husband...?

...

【4024.2.2】

[Husband's attitude (crossed out)]

...

【4024.2.3】

[(crossed out)]

...

【4024.2.4】

[(crossed out)]

...

【4025.1.3】

The company does not allow me to resign.

They were willing to bring in a doctor to perform an abortion, and the cost would be deducted from my salary.

But I really don't want to kill this child... He's so young, he doesn't understand anything, he hasn't even had a chance to see this world, and now he's going to be torn to pieces by those terrifying, sharp metal weapons...

...

【4025.1.5】

I heard him crying... he was scared...

Those people are devils... demons from hell!

I absolutely will not let these devils abort my child... I want him to live!!

...

【4025.1.7】

Don't be afraid, child... Mommy will protect you...

...

This long diary entry ends here.

The ending of the story was naturally incredibly cruel; Jiang Youyou ultimately failed to protect her child, and for whatever reason, her child died.

But the dead infant may have absorbed his mother's resentment, eventually becoming a ghost baby and successfully being born.

Zhao Yi closed the diary and said to the ghost infant, whose face was full of resentment and indignation:

"Would you mind if I had this diary?"

The ghost infant bared its teeth, a hint of hesitation flashing in its eyes.

Zhao Yi asked:

"You can't go to that brightly lit building, right?"

The ghost baby nodded, then shook its head.

He babbled incoherently, so the white-skirted female ghost beside him explained:

"That building possesses a mysterious power, originating from the thirteenth floor."

"We were employees of that building when we were alive, and we signed contracts... Whether we are human or ghost, we must work for Building 2188."

"Once you enter that place, you will be controlled by a mysterious force."

"Because the little devil (the ghost baby) didn't sign a contract with the 2188 Building, it will be identified by the building's rules once it enters... This will alert the security personnel, which will be very troublesome!"

Zhao Yi laughed and said to the ghost infant:

"You little rascal, give me this diary, and I'll create an opportunity for you to meet Meng Cunhua... You can avenge your mother yourself, how about it?"

Upon hearing this, the ghost baby's eyes immediately lit up!

It crawled frantically across the ground at incredible speed, biting at any trash it saw, making crunching noises as if it were already rehearsing how to kill that damn scumbag after encountering him!

it's him!

He caused his own mother to become like this!

The ghost baby was panting heavily, making dog-like breathing sounds. Clearly, simply biting these pieces of trash couldn't vent its resentment!

Zhao Yi tucked the diary into his chest and placed it together with the notebook that Xu Shengzhi had sent him.

I'll take that as a yes.

The ghost baby stopped, ran up to Zhao Yi, and kowtowed several times to him, seemingly thanking him in advance.

Looking at the terrifying ghost baby in front of him, Zhao Yi couldn't help but sigh.

"Humans are worse than ghosts."

He paused, then turned to the white-skirted female ghost and asked:

"By the way... is there really no other way to get my file from the archives besides obtaining access?"

The white-dressed ghost looked at Zhao Yi with surprise in her eyes.

She never expected that Zhao Yi would help the little rascal get revenge.

For Zhao Yi, doing such a thing would definitely do more harm than good.

After pondering for a while, the female ghost said:

"There are two ghosts on the fifth floor of the junkyard building. They used to work for the records department. I can take you to see them... but you'll have to wait a bit..."

"Quyousi has no heart; it only wakes up for three hours each day."

"It's safer for us to go down later."

Qu You Si is the heartless man who wields a rusty iron knife.

The female ghost said that the heartless man had taken a knife to the thirteenth floor, where he was killed and his heart disappeared.

Then, it started doing things for the 2188 Tower.

I wake up for three hours every day in the junkyard, hunting down all people and ghosts.

For the remaining 21 hours, he fell into a deep sleep, his power escaping into an axe-wielding man inside the office building, where he supervised the other employees.

However, Qu You Si will not enter the iron gate of the rooftop.

Ring ring—

Zhao Yi's phone suddenly rang. He answered the call, and it was Liao Hongqiao calling.

"Zhao Yi... have you come out yet?"

Not long ago, they agreed to leave the waste collection building in 10 minutes.

Liao Hongqiao and Zong Haisheng have already left.

Zhao Yi stood on the edge of the rooftop, looking at the two people waiting anxiously downstairs in the distance, and said:

"You guys go back first, I have something to take care of."

Hearing that Zhao Yi was alright, they breathed a sigh of relief, exchanged a few words, and then sneaked back to their office to continue working.

They don't get the benefits Meng Cunhua provides; they can't get any sleep unless they work a full 16 hours today.

In order not to affect subsequent work, they have very limited time to operate each day.

After hanging up the phone, the two men and two ghosts went to the rooftop for a while to enjoy the breeze.

When the time was almost up, the female ghost in the white dress led Zhao Yi and the ghost baby down from the rooftop...
