Part 2 Chapter 52 Going Back
"The footsteps outside the closet never stopped, and they were getting faster and faster. I thought, if I could hear any sound, it must be very noisy outside. I tried shouting a few times, but no sound came out at all."
"Then I began to wonder where I was and what state I was in. But my brain gradually became unclear and groggy, and I couldn't think."
"Finally, I could only feel the wardrobe shaking more and more, the vibrations outside were getting stronger and stronger, and my consciousness was getting more and more blurred."
Qin Yiheng asked me for another cigarette, as if recalling these things made him very uncomfortable.
In fact, I was also very nervous, more nervous than if I had experienced it myself, so I asked, "What happened next? Where did you wake up?" I thought this would be the key to the matter.
He rubbed his temple and said, "I woke up in the closet. Listen to me." Qin Yiheng looked very tired. He began to lie down and continued, "When my consciousness began to blur, I felt that things might be bad, but I didn't want to die meaninglessly. I tried to leave some traces and record everything I felt. I tried hard to think 'I want to struggle', because this can only stay at the level of 'thinking'. I can't control my limbs."
"Did you succeed?" I couldn't help but interrupt him.
Qin Yiheng shook his head and said, "But I figured out one thing. I wasn't in a state where I couldn't feel my limbs, otherwise I shouldn't have felt the vibration of my footsteps." He raised his head and looked at me, and said, "I should have been cast in."
I was dumbfounded. This was not an adjective. I really forgot to blink. I asked Qin Yiheng, "Are you saying that the wardrobe is a mold-making tool, where you pour liquid into it and shape it into a solid?"
Qin Yiheng nodded and said, "Yes, but I can't tell what liquid it is. Maybe it's ice, maybe it's metal. I really don't know."
"And then?" I continued to ask.
"After I found out about my situation, I was also very surprised, but I had no other choice but to keep trying to wake myself up. Maybe I was lucky, or maybe I was unlucky. Just when I was about to lose consciousness, I suddenly felt the wardrobe fall down, and I began to realize that the situation outside did not seem to be ordinary walking, but a fight." Qin Yiheng sat up, took a deep breath, and continued: "Then the wardrobe continued to shake, but the frequency changed. I didn't think about it at the time, and then I realized that the wardrobe should have been lifted up."
"Someone went to the ferry to steal a wardrobe?" I was confused and asked again, "In the underworld?"
I really didn't expect this to be the answer. Even if he told me that the wardrobe was found in the pyramid, it would be more credible than this.
Qin Yiheng's expression was also unbelievable, and he said slowly: "I can't be sure, but the changes started at that moment."
"When the wardrobe shook again, I lost consciousness again. When I woke up, it was nearly forty-eight hours later. I was squeezed in a corner of the wardrobe in a very uncomfortable position. My arms and legs were numb, and it took a long time for me to regain consciousness. The wardrobe door was open and the room was bright. It took me a long time to be sure that I was not dreaming. After that, I checked every corner of the wardrobe and couldn't find any fresh traces. But--" Qin Yiheng stood up and sat up straight before saying, "I found that there was a blood spot missing on the vaginal buckle. Maybe something came back with me along the vaginal buckle. Everything I saw was the memory of this thing."
My scalp went numb after hearing this. There was no need to guess, this was the change that Qin Yiheng had mentioned.
But I still couldn't understand it. It sounded like something from a science fiction movie. I asked, "What does this have to do with boiled water? You sound like you're beating around the bush."
Without waiting for Qin Yiheng to speak, Bai Kai entered the room, swaggered and returned the Yinkou to Qin Yiheng, and said: "The people outside have been dealt with, and they won't wake up for a while. However, I didn't figure out who was who, but they are all alive anyway."
I suddenly remembered that Xu Chuanxiang was dead, and hurriedly asked them, "Who killed Xu Chuanxiang?"
Unexpectedly, neither of them said anything. I thought to myself, "Damn it, are you trying to frame me?" Just as I was about to curse, the one called Bai Kai replied, "I find that you are really stupid. You can't even tell that your follower committed suicide. Do you know what it means to fight for the body with a soul? After all the fighting, the result is that no one can get it!"
I didn't say anything back. I felt a little sad, but more of it was self-blame. I was the indirect murderer of Xu Chuanxiang's death. He had come all the way here with me. I really didn't know how to solve this matter after I returned. I didn't know what his family situation was like, and how should I face it? Even if I gave his family some money, what could be more important than life?
The three people in the house were silent . I didn’t know what they were thinking. Anyway, I was observing a moment of silence very devoutly.
When I looked up, I suddenly remembered that the man named Bai Kai told me that I had two things on my back and I didn’t know if it was dangerous.
I asked Bai Kai: "How do I deal with the things on my back?"
Unexpectedly, Qin Yiheng answered, "It's my fault. I asked Xu Chuanxiang to put the things on your back. I'm sorry."
I had never heard him apologize to me in such a tone before, and I was quite surprised. I thought, maybe he was very sad about Xu Chuanxiang's death. After all, we were acquaintances. So I said "um", which meant I accepted the apology.
Unexpectedly, Qin Yiheng said: "I am too selfish. I want to protect myself too much."
"What do you mean?" I was a little confused.
This time Qin Yiheng didn't say anything, just asked Bai Kai to help me deal with the thing on my back. Bai Kai was very ruthless. After asking me to take off my shirt, he twisted my shoulders and beat them hard for a few times. Then he found a piece of plaster-like thing from somewhere, burned it with a lighter, and stuck it on the gap between my shoulder blades. It felt sticky, but it didn't hurt. After a while, Bai Kai tore the thing off. This time it hurt me, and I don't know if it took off a lot of sweat hair.
Bai Kai fiddled with it for a while, then turned around and said, "Open your mouth." Before I could react, he had already put his strength into his hand and slapped me on the back. I subconsciously screamed "Ah". Damn it, the more I watched, the more I felt that he was taking revenge.
Qin Yiheng was not idle at the side either. He told me not to worry too much. The thing on my back is called a pillow in the jargon. It is a little ghost that likes to ride on the shoulders of adults. Many people have it. It will not stay on a person for long, because after all, the distance a person can travel is limited. When it gets tired of the scenery, it will naturally look for the next person. The reason why it is called a pillow is that even if it is like this, it often gets a stiff neck, so it got this name.
Qin Yiheng stood up, patted himself, and said, "We can go now. I'll tell you the rest on the way back."
I actually wanted to leave a long time ago. I looked around the house and felt exhausted. I followed them out the door. Those people outside were still lying on the ground. I counted them. This time, there were no more or less people. It seemed that Qin Yiheng did not sneak in with us. No wonder I didn't notice him along the way. I bowed three times when I passed by Xu Chuanxiang's body. Bai Kai also laughed at me and said, "People like you who die like this will not remember who they are after death. It's useless for you to worship his corpse."
I ignored him. Whether it was useful or not had nothing to do with sincerity, and I was too lazy to explain to such a person.
After leaving the yard, I asked Qin Yiheng, "Will Xu Chuanxiang's death be traced back to us?"
He comforted me and said, "Someone is going to die tonight, no matter who it is. Hongda must have made preparations long ago, so don't worry."
His words made me feel uncomfortable. Can money really solve everything in this world?
After leaving the yard and turning around, I found that Qin Yiheng had hidden a car here. It seemed that he really came prepared.
The three of us got in the car and drove straight to the city. I looked out the window, feeling a little dazed.
Along the way, I didn't ask Qin Yiheng anything. Looking at Qin Yiheng's expression, it seemed that there were some things that could not be said in front of Bai Kai. Besides, I was too tired.
Qin Yiheng drove very fast, much faster than when we came. After arriving in the city, the three of us found a food stall to eat something. I didn't have much appetite, so I just drank a little beer. Bai Kai was a big drinker, he drank six bottles of beer by himself, and his face didn't even turn red. I politely clinked glasses with him once, and then ignored him. The three of us were eating in our own places. By the time we finished this meal, it was almost dawn.
Qin Yiheng was driving as usual. He didn't drink a drop of alcohol at the dinner table, so it would be safer to let him drive.
I found a hotel and booked two rooms specifically to separate Bai Kai and make it easier for me to communicate with Qin Yiheng.
Bai Kai may have drunk too much wine before, and he was a little drunk. He was dazed and kept saying to us: "Don't come to say goodbye to me tomorrow. I'm going to sleep in."
Seeing him like this, I had no choice but to help him to the door of the room. He patted my shoulder and put his arm around my shoulder, as if he was very familiar with me. I opened the door and helped him into the room. He suddenly turned around and asked Qin Yiheng inexplicably: "Huh? I never figured out which Qin Yiheng you are now?"
After saying this, I saw the corners of Qin Yiheng's mouth curl up strangely.
I immediately felt a little nervous, but I didn't dare show it, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
Fortunately, Bai Kai fell asleep after asking questions. Qin Yiheng and I walked out, and he smiled awkwardly at me, which made me feel very uneasy.
I thought about what happened that night at the bath center, and thought to myself: "Could it be that the Qin Yiheng now is the Qin Yiheng who has been possessed?"
However, I still went back to the room with him. Even if he wanted to harm me, he didn't have to wait until now, right?
