Wang Gang graduated from university and faced repeated setbacks in finding a job, so he simply became a "NEET" , staying at home all day. Over time, he felt bored and ordered a high-powered telescope online. When he was bored, he would set up the telescope, and the men and women in the opposite building seemed right in front of him, very clear.

One night, Wang Gang saw something interesting through the telescope: in a room on the sixth floor of the opposite building, two girls would dance around eleven o'clock at night, but a thin layer of window gauze was hung on the window, making the beautiful dance postures of the two girls vague and unclear. Moreover, the two girls only danced at night and never during the day.

For several days in a row, Wang Gang was fascinated by the sight. One day, after dinner, Wang Gang closed his room door and set up the telescope facing the sixth floor again. At 11 o'clock, the two girls came out to dance on time. Wang Gang was addicted to watching when the two girls suddenly stopped dancing, abruptly pulled open the curtains, and two faces with disheveled hair and blood all over them immediately appeared in front of Wang Gang. Wang Gang was stunned, and then an even more terrifying scene appeared: one girl grabbed her left arm with her right hand and pulled off her left arm; the other girl raised her leg high and forcefully pulled, actually pulling off half of her leg. The two girls, one holding an arm and the other a leg, kept waving at Wang Gang... Wang Gang was so scared that he went black in front of his eyes and sat down on the ground. When Wang Gang came to his senses and looked through the telescope again, the opposite had already pulled up thick curtains, and he couldn't see anything.

Wang Gang was shaking all over with fear. He had spied on others and actually saw female ghosts, two of them! After that night, the curtains on the sixth floor of the opposite building were never opened again. After two days and nights of suffering, Wang Gang couldn't stand it anymore. That morning, Wang Gang decided to go to the opposite building to find out the truth. He timidly came to the sixth floor and knocked on the door with courage. The door opened, and an old lady poked her head out, looked Wang Gang up and down, and asked, "Are you a friend of Zhang Ying and Zhang Li?" Wang Gang then learned the names of the two girls and quickly nodded, saying yes. The old lady let Wang Gang into the house. The room was thickly curtained, and it was gloomy. There was a large group photo hanging on the wall of the living room, with two girls in dance costumes, smiling brightly. Wang Gang was fascinated by the photo when the old lady chattered beside him, "The two children are twins, and they both like dancing. Who could have expected that they would have a car accident while traveling after graduating from university. The car fell from the mountain, and everyone in the car was smashed to pieces..." The old lady's hoarse voice echoed in the room, and the two girls in the photo stared at Wang Gang with their eyes wide open. Wang Gang screamed and turned to run.

Wang Gang ran home in one breath, and his heart was still pounding: the two girls were dead, and he had really seen ghosts! Would these two female ghosts haunt him? Wang Gang was disheartened all day, not knowing what to do. In the evening, there was a sudden knock on the door. Wang Gang cautiously opened the door, and a little girl of about eight or nine stood at the door, holding a letter in her hand, saying, "The two sisters asked me to give you a letter." She handed the letter to Wang Gang and skipped away.

Wang Gang tore open the letter, and inside was a ticket to a charity evening performance, with two disheveled girls drawn on the ticket. Wang Gang was a bit confused. Was this sent by the two female ghosts? After thinking about it, Wang Gang decided to go and have a look. Anyway, there were so many people at the performance venue, and the two female ghosts couldn't do anything to him.

According to the address on the ticket, Wang Gang came to the theater. The scene was crowded, and the warm atmosphere made Wang Gang relax a bit. He looked around, hoping to see the dancing girls, but also afraid to see their terrifying faces.

After several performances, the familiar dance postures of the two girls appeared on the stage, and Wang Gang's heart skipped a beat. At this time, the host came on stage and said: Zhang Ying and Zhang Li are twin sisters, both studying dance, but unfortunately, they had a car accident. Sister Zhang Ying lost a leg, and sister Zhang Li lost an arm, both becoming disabled. However, they are self-improving, not only finding suitable work for themselves but also persisting in practicing dance in their spare time to present wonderful performances to everyone. The audience listened, and thunderous applause immediately rang out under the stage. Wang Gang also clapped excitedly.

After the performance, Wang Gang bought two bouquets of flowers and went backstage to apologize to the two sisters. Zhang Ying and Zhang Li had already taken off their makeup, and their prostheses were placed beside them. Seeing Wang Gang's embarrassed appearance, both sisters laughed heartily. Zhang Li said with a smile, "We often find the reflection of the lens when practicing dancing at night, thinking it's a big pervert, so we discussed with grandma and wanted to scare him. Unexpectedly, we scared you. Grandma was afraid you would have an accident, so she asked us to send you the performance ticket."

Wang Gang listened and said excitedly, "I want to learn from you, and I will go to find a job tomorrow and never do such boring and low-level things again."
