” Eh… what?”


  Ray’s words just now made Isabel dumbfounded. She looked at Ray’s face, a bit confused while also having a wary on her heart.

  ‘ This guy… he is not targeting me, isn’t he?’


  It was not strange that Isabel started to become wary of Ray.

  Ray had just told her that she needed to lose her virginity, and just when she thought of another guy, Ray suddenly said bizarre things like this.

  In fact, it would only be weird if Isabel didn’t become wary of Ray.

  ” Umm, don’t take me wrong. I’m not a hundred percent sure, but from my experience handling these kinds of things, this was normally the case. And if you didn’t believe me, can I ask you some questions to help me identify the perpetrator of this incident?”


  ” Um…”


  Isabel thought for a while before eventually nodding. She has no other choice, and even though this guy in front of her might have some hidden agendas, she would still follow him to see if he could truly drive out the ghost.

  Seeing that Isabel didn’t immediately reject, a slight arc appeared on Ray’s mouth.

  He controlled his expression so that it looked professional and started to question Isabel.

  ” If you don’t want to answer, you can just say skip. These questions are not obligatory, but it surely would help me in investigating this case.”


  ” First, do you have any kind of incident before the haunting start?”


  ” Yes, I was involved in a car accident. Fortunately, a kind boy came and saved me.”


  ” Second, from that incident, do you feel like you can never erase the figure of that boy from your mind, and somehow your heart desire him?”


  ” Umm… I don’t really know. But it might be so…”


  Isabel was a bit speechless with the second question. She didn’t really understand the feeling in her heart, but if she were to say it, maybe it was pretty close to what the man in front of her had described.

  ” Okay, third and last. Do you have any kind of strange symbol in your body?”


  ” AH…”


  If Isabel was a bit embarrassed for the second question, the third question really caught her surprise. She had never said anything about the symbol to her body to anyone, and seeing that Ray could guess the symbol’s existence, a strange feeling appeared on Isabel’s heart.

  ” Yeah, you guess it right. It’s here, on my wrist. You can see it by yourself. The symbol itself is the same as the one that is in the female ghost’s forehead.” Isabel said while sticking out her slender hand to Ray, letting him check the symbol on her wrist.

  ” No need. But… It seems my guess is indeed true. That boy you meet in the car accident, he must be the true mastermind of this.”


  ” … “


  Worthy of the protagonist’s charm, even after saying all of this, Ray still couldn’t erase the suspicion in Isabel’s heart.

  They have just met once, but somehow, Alan’s figure has been deeply embedded in Isabel’s heart.

  Still, Ray was not without preparation. He knew from the start that it would be hard to convince Isabel just from words alone. Therefore, he had prepared his hole card for things like this.

  ” Actually, it isn’t that hard to check. You can just find the CCTV Recording of that car accident and look through it. If you see that the symbol started to appear when he was in contact with you, then it has proven my hunch.”


  ” Ah… yes. You are right. Please wait a moment!”


  Isabel didn’t wait any more time and quickly dashed outside the room, trying to use her best connection to find out about the truth of this incident.

  Some parts of her heart wanted to believe that Alan had nothing to do with this. However, some other parts of her heart had believed that what Ray had said made sense.

  Isabel was currently in the middle of this conflict, and if not for Ray’s words to check the CCTV Recording, it would certainly take some time before she could eventually make a decision.

  She opened her phone and dialed her connection.

  ” Hello, this is Isabel. I need your help…”


  … … …


  Two hours later, Ray was still waiting for Isabel in her room.

  He had no intention to rush as he knew that rushing things would only make Isabel suspicious, and now all he could do was to wait for Isabel to make her own decision.

  He played with his phone and was chatting with Rin when suddenly he heard the sound of the door opening, and Isabel came to the room with a very haggard expression.

  Her eyes were red, and she looked a lot more lifeless than before.

  ” So, how…”


  ” Yeah, you are right. He should be the perpetrator of this ghost-haunting incident.”


  Without waiting for Ray to finish his question, Isabel had already blurted out everything.

  Truthfully, it has been some time since the time when Isabel receive the CCTV recording.

  She had been looking at it over and over, trying to believe that it was all just a misunderstanding. However, the more she looked at it, the more she was convinced that it was all Alan’s ploy.

  The image of that brave and kind boy was shattered, and Isabel now was lost.

  She was never the kind to get close to a boy, and Alan was her first crush.

  Now that she was told that she have to lose her virginity, the first one to come to her mind was definitely Alan. But, when she knew that it was just Alan’s trick to get her, Isabel now didn’t really know what to do.

  She tried her best to hold her tears, but when she heard Ray’s words, those tears came out inevitably.

  Her first crush was none other than some bastard; even the strongest girl would break down if she were to get into this kind of situation.

  However, when she thought that everything was dark and all hope was lost, she suddenly felt a big and warm hand holding her and giving her all the sense of security she needed.
