Chapter 52: The Reappearance of the Red Light Arhat
In this world, there are very few people who know the name Qin Xiang. Apart from him, there is also the psychiatrist who helped him at the beginning. Even his parents don't know. Han Yun actually saw this name on the note that Su Mo took a picture of.
Han Yun was holding the phone in his hand, and he was stunned until Su Mo sent another voice message. He came to his senses and quickly opened it. "There is only one line of small words on the note. Could it be a prank?" Su Mo sent a voice message saying, "Don't be fooled by such things. The best way is to ignore it. I will check the surveillance tomorrow to see if I can see the person who hit me."
It can't be just a prank. Han Yun thought to himself, and first checked the time. It was already past ten o'clock. He looked out the window and saw heavy rain falling . The raindrops hit the windows and made a loud noise.
Han Yun opened the Goethe map and searched for the "Good Taste Food Factory" written on the note. A total of three places appeared, one of which was marked as "old site", which should be an abandoned factory. The note did not indicate which Good Taste Food Factory the other party wanted to meet at. The distance between the three factories on the map was not close. If he ran to each one, he would not be able to finish in an hour.
The other party did not specify the meeting place, which means that the other party must have believed that Han Yun could find it, or that the other party knew what Han Yun should choose. Han Yun clenched his fists, opened the note in Su Mo's WeChat, stared at the two words "Qin Xiang" for a while, and finally put the phone back in his pocket, left the studio, and went downstairs.
It was raining heavily outside. Han Yun put on his raincoat in the corridor, then ran out and stopped a car directly on the side of the road.
After getting in the car, the driver looked back at Han Yun and asked, "Where are you going?"
"Wait." Han Yun took out his phone again and confirmed the locations of the three "Good Food Factory" locations, then zoomed in on the map and looked at the surroundings. Of these three places, the only one most suitable for a mysterious meeting was the abandoned "old site" which was relatively desolate. Han Yun thought about this and handed the phone to the driver, letting him take a look and said, "Go here."
"That's not a short distance." The driver took the phone and looked at it, then handed it back to Han Yun and said, "It's hard to get a taxi around there. Are you going there and back? How long do you need me to wait for you there?"
The driver seemed to be worried about how long he would have to wait after dropping people off. After all, at this time, plus it was raining heavily, the distance was short if driving in the city. The distance to the "Old Site of the Food Factory" was enough to make ten trips in the city. "Don't worry, master. If the waiting time is too long, I will pay more for the fare." Han Yun looked at the time on his phone: "How long will it take to arrive?"
"There's no traffic jam at night, half an hour is about right." The driver started the car and replied.
Han Yun had been thinking about the case in the studio just now, and did not notice when the rain started, but now it was pouring down, and it would not stop for a while. The car was driving through the city, and Han Yun sat in the back seat, and opened the note again, his brows twisted into a small volcano. Normally, those who left such a note would basically sign their own name at the end, but Han Yun knew that the other party could not be Qin Xiang, so the last signature on the note should be to arouse Han Yun's curiosity and make him have to go to the appointment.
Who was the other person? Why did he know the name Qin Xiang, which only existed in his dreams? Han Yun's curiosity was indeed aroused, and it was out of control. He was thinking about it in the car. The taxi driver seemed a little bored and wanted to find some topics to talk about, so he asked: "Young man, it's so late, why are you going there?"
"To keep an appointment." Han Yun answered briefly.
"Who would choose that place for a date? It's really..." The driver seemed to want to say 'it's really out of place', but then changed his tone: "It's very unique. You know, there used to be factories nearby, but later they all moved away, leaving behind a large area of abandoned factories. There is a strange story, I don't know if you have heard of it."
"Weird story?" Han Yun knew that the driver would continue even if he didn't respond.
"Yes, they say it's very spooky over there. Otherwise, why would they keep a good factory and spend a lot of money to move away? It's said that there are ghosts in that place." The driver deliberately lowered his voice and said, "It's very spooky. There are always employees jumping off the building every month in every factory. Gradually, this incident has been rumored to be very spooky. Some people even get up in the middle of the night and see the dead walking around in the employee dormitory. Have you heard of the ghost area? It refers to that place."
"What you mean is that all the factories have been moved away?" Han Yun had never heard of the term 'ghost area'.
"They all moved away. Because everyone knows about that legend, no matter if it's a developer or someone who wants to open a factory, they don't choose that place. Even if the government has introduced a lot of good policies, it's useless. Gradually, that place seems to have become a ghost town abandoned in the middle of the city." The driver looked back at Han Yun, then continued to look at the road and said, "So the person who asked you out chose that place. It seems that he had bad intentions, and you really dared to go on the date."
"I don't believe in these things about ghosts and gods." Han Yun looked out the window and stopped talking.
The driver did not continue the conversation. It was raining heavily outside the window, and the car was silent. About half an hour later, about ten minutes before eleven o'clock, the taxi stopped and the driver pointed and said, "This is the old site of Haoshiwei."
"Please wait for me here for a while." Han Yun opened the car door and walked into the rain. At the main gate of the Haoshiwei Food Factory, Han Yun did not see anyone, so he walked inside and walked straight to the factory building. He still did not see anyone, so he took out his phone to confirm the time. It was one minute to eleven o'clock. Han Yun was thinking, just wait until eleven o'clock, and if no one showed up after eleven o'clock, he would leave.
A taxi not far away turned on its headlights, and the driver was staring at Han Yun through the window.
Han Yun returned to the main entrance and stood in the rain waiting patiently. At eleven o'clock, a ray of red light suddenly illuminated the rainy night, attracting the attention of Han Yun and the taxi driver. The red light did not come from the "Good Taste" factory. Judging from the direction, it should be another factory. The red light rushed into the sky, and then a several-meter-tall Arhat appeared in the air. The Arhat had a fierce expression and fell from top to bottom at an extremely fast speed to the opposite side.
The taxi driver had already taken out his cell phone, opened the door, and stood by the door, holding up his cell phone to record the video. Han Yun realized something and quickly ran towards the place where the red light was coming from. However, before he reached the place, the red light had completely disappeared, and the surroundings fell into darkness.
