Family (Part 7)
Sheng Guiye also keenly noticed this when Qiao Yuan approached, looked over, then skillfully took out the hair dryer and opened the projection screen.
The lights in the room were also turned off.
Just as Qiao Yuan was about to concentrate on enjoying the movie with Sheng Guiye, a nervous voice suddenly rang in her ears: "Someone is impersonating you."
Qiao Yuan: ???
Qiao Yuan subconsciously looked at Sheng Guiye: "Did you hear anything?"
Sheng Guiye: "The sound of the movie?"
After hearing Sheng Guiye's words, Qiao Yuan frowned slightly. After all, it seemed that only she could hear the voice just now.
Although the voice was a little vague and had only sounded in Qiao Yuan's ears once, her intuition told her that it sounded somewhat familiar.
It's like...
Qiao Ying.
When this name appeared in his mind, Qiao Yuan couldn't help but be stunned.
First, it was because the other party had not appeared for too long, as if he had completely withdrawn from her life. Second, Qiao Ying had clearly said before that she didn't want to see her again, so why did she suddenly send a message now?
With this thought in mind, Qiao Yuan tried to contact Qiao Ying, but there was no further response from Qiao Yuan.
Sheng Guiye also noticed Qiao Yuan's sudden pause and asked worriedly, "What happened?"
Qiao Yuan: "I seem to have received a message from Qiao Ying."
Sheng Guiye repeated subconsciously: "Qiao Ying?"
It’s no wonder that he was so confused. After all, just like Qiao Yuan, Sheng Guiye had almost forgotten about Qiao Ying’s existence.
Because of his peaceful life now, all his previous memories of games have faded away from him.
But after Qiao Yuan's reminder, Sheng Guiye quickly remembered the other party's existence: "What's wrong with her?"
Qiao Yuan: "She said someone was impersonating me, and then she didn't say anything else."
"I don't know how she got in touch with me, and why she's not in touch with me anymore."
Hearing Qiao Yuan's words, Sheng Guiye paused and said, "Should we go check on her situation?"
Qiao Yuan fell into deep thought, and finally said aloud: "Forget it."
According to Qiao Ying's personality, it was hard for her not to suspect that this might be a trap set by the other party. Moreover, Qiao Ying had already left her, so Qiao Yuan didn't want to care about this matter anymore.
But this seemed to be just the beginning. After that, Qiao Yuan still received messages from Qiao Ying intermittently.
The most important thing is that the time when Qiao Ying sends messages is not fixed. Sometimes the interval is very short, and she sends several times a day. Sometimes the interval is very long, and she only sends a message every few days.
The other party kept repeating the same message over and over again, and Qiao Ying never responded to Qiao Yuan's questions.
Qiao Yuan originally wanted to block it completely, but Qiao Ying didn’t know whether she realized it or not, so this time she sent “Save me”.
After some thought, Qiao Yuan finally decided to go over and take a look.
After all, the message Qiao Ying sent before completely piqued her interest.
After making up his mind, Qiao Yuan took action quickly.
She was originally planning to go alone, but Sheng Guiye showed a look of reluctance: "Can you take me with you?"
"Wherever you go, I want to be with you."
Qiao Yuan: “…”
Obviously Sheng Guiye already knew how to convince her quickly, but the other party's approach was indeed right.
Qiao Yuan quickly decided to take Sheng Guiye with him.
Although he originally just wanted to take a look, considering the abnormal situations that might occur, Qiao Yuan still asked for leave from Sister Jiang and the others.
Qiao Yuan still remembered that the world that Qiao Ying went to had just returned to normal, and she never paid any attention to it since then.
After all, she is also very busy in the real world, so as long as the other party doesn't do anything weird, she doesn't have time to track Qiao Ying's movements.
But when Qiao Yuan stood on this land, he still realized something was wrong.
What comes into view is a small town full of Western style.
Although it was night, Qiao Yuan's good eyesight and the moonlight above helped illuminate the scene in front of him.
The Baroque church towered into the sky, and the surrounding area was clustered with buildings with red and blue roofs. Most of them were townhouses, only three or four stories high, and from the mottled marks and red bricks on them, it was obvious that they were quite old.
Looking at the clock on the church, Qiao Yuan knew it was late at night.
So there was no one on the street, there were only planted trees and parked cars on both sides of the road. The light shining through the gaps in the curtains told Qiao Yuan that there were still people living in the town at this time.
No matter how you look at it, this is a fairly quiet town.
Qiao Yuan: "It looks peaceful..."
It was so peaceful that she doubted whether Qiao Ying was really in this world. After all, based on his personality, if Qiao Ying was here, the town should not be like this.
And most importantly, it seemed that Qiao Ying wanted to find her, but why did she appear here but Qiao Ying did not?
After all, since the other party was able to send a message to her, he should have some means of noticing her presence here.
But Qiao Ying was nowhere to be seen.
If it is a trap, then where is the mechanism set by the other party?
And after being hit by her, judging from Qiao Ying's behavior at the time, it didn't seem like she would deliberately set up an opportunity...
So Qiao Ying is really in danger now, so she sent out a distress signal?
Unexpectedly, when Qiao Ying encountered danger, he thought of her.
If it weren’t for what Qiao Ying had done before, Qiao Yuan would definitely be more moved.
Qiao Yuan thought again of the message Qiao Ying had conveyed before.
What does it mean that someone is impersonating her?
Sheng Guiye looked around and felt the same way, and then said, "Can you feel where Qiao Ying is?"
Qiao Yuan shook his head.
At that time, she could only feel that Qiao Ying was in this town, but she couldn't tell where exactly.
Qiao Yuan suspected that Qiao Ying had used some means to hide his whereabouts.
Maybe Qiao Ying was originally trying to protect her, but now he is trying to protect others.
But no matter what, this did hinder her from finding Qiao Ying.
Just as Qiao Yuan was thinking about what to do next, she suddenly heard a noise nearby.
Sheng Guiye also said, "The window over there is open."
Looking in the direction Sheng Guiye mentioned, Qiao Yuan saw that the window that had been closed at first glance before was indeed open on the third floor of a red-roofed house.
The window was as old as the house, so it made a slight creaking sound in the wind, like an electric fan of the same age, making people wonder if the window would fall off at the next second.
However, for Qiao Yuan and Sheng Guiye, it seemed a bit strange that this window suddenly opened at this time.
More importantly, through the beige curtains, Qiao Yuan noticed an eye staring in their direction.
Qiao Yuan first ruled out Qiao Ying. After all, one reason was that the other party had no eyes, and two, even if Qiao Ying wanted a body again, he would not choose an old man.
From the cloudiness of the eyes, Qiao Yuan judged that the other person was very old.
However, that eye seemed to have noticed the gazes of Qiao Yuan and others, and it actually waved, as if inviting the two to come up.
Qiao Yuan and Sheng Guiye looked at each other.
Sheng Guiye: "There is a problem."
Or perhaps the old woman was almost thinking that there was a problem. After all, in the middle of the night, the other party openly invited two strangers to go upstairs. It seemed that they had no vigilance at all, or they were so hospitable to a terrifying degree.
But for Qiao Yuan, she needs a breakthrough now.
And the strange old man in front of him was obviously a good breakthrough.
Thinking of this, she glanced at Sheng Guiye.
Although Qiao Yuan didn't say anything, when the other party looked at him, Sheng Guiye already knew that Qiao Yuan wanted to go up and check the situation.
The two of them quickly walked downstairs following the old man's gaze, and the old man seemed to realize that Qiao Yuan and Sheng Guiye were coming, so he stopped waving.
However, Qiao Yuan and Sheng Guiye did not choose to go upstairs via the stairs. After estimating the distance, Qiao Yuan decided to climb in through the window with Sheng Guiye.
Not to mention that Qiao Yuan already had amazing physical strength, the protruding windowsill downstairs also allowed her and Sheng Guiye to climb up easily, and then enter the room directly through the window.
The two of them were very fast. When Qiao Yuan and Sheng Guiye entered the room directly through the window, the old man inside was still standing by the window as if he had not reacted yet.
Just as Qiao Yuan had guessed before, it was indeed an old woman with gray hair combed into a bun at the back of her head. Her face and hands were covered with wrinkles, and she looked to be in her sixties or seventies.
After Qiao Yuan and Sheng Guiye stepped into the room, the old man suddenly closed his eyes and fell to the ground.
It was the first time that Qiao Yuan encountered someone who dared to scam him. He grabbed the old man's collar before the other person fell to prevent him from falling headfirst.
However, Qiao Yuan soon realized that this was not necessary. After all, along with the stench of decay coming from her nose, the old man's rapidly decaying body was reflected in her pupils.
The old man died.
Qiao Yuan first ruled out the possibility that the old man was scared to death by them. After all, the rapid decay of the body did not look like a recent death, but rather like it had been dead for a long time.
As soon as she let go, the old man's body fell to the floor.
Sheng Guiye frowned: "She is already dead, but just now..."
That’s right, it was the old man who opened his eyes and looked at them and waved.
Sheng Guiye: "Could it be that Qiao Ying set this up?"
"How did the other party control the old man?"
Qiao Yuan's eyes swept across the room: "But she hasn't shown up yet."
The room where the old man was was covered with a thick layer of dust, as if testifying to Qiao Yuan's belief that the old man had been dead for a long time.
