Volume 3: Death in Progress Chapter 059 The Devil's Gift
"Why are the two deaths so close in time?"
Everyone felt a little strange about the sudden announcement of the time of death. After all, the two times were too close, and they didn't even have time to rest. However, this showed a problem, that is, the mission did not give them the opportunity to kill the deceased in advance.
Chen Ping stood up and said to everyone, "Let's go find this Li Xia."
“Wait!”
"Zhang Fengyu, do you have any questions?"
"The mission deliberately arranged the two deaths so close in time, probably to prevent us from taking action in advance. I think it's better to do this. I will take Cheng En to find the other dead and find a way to kill them. You guys can just act according to the situation."
After hearing this, Chen Ping shook his head and said, "This is inevitably another trap in the mission. Such traps have appeared many times in a mission. Do you want to be fooled again this time?"
"You won't know unless you try."
Seeing Zhang Fengyu was so persistent, Chen Ping simply stopped talking and nodded in agreement. After all, it was possible that this was not a trap.
In this way, Zhang Fengyu and Chen Ping split into two groups. Chen Ping took Zhao Liang to Li Xia's home, while Zhang Fengyu took Cheng En to the other dead, looking for opportunities to take action in advance.
Li Xia is 28 years old. She is a swindler by profession, but she only cheats students or workers. They are all small scams. Her way of cheating is to rent out other people's houses or get some fake goods to go to major universities to cheat those inexperienced college students. Because she only cheats outsiders or college students without roots, who are all from the lower level of society, she has never been reported.
However, a few days ago in the morning, she inexplicably received a gift box with a few short words attached: "Don't open the box, otherwise you will die miserably!" The last signature was Mr. Devil.
Li Xia was a liar, so she naturally thought that someone was deliberately deceiving her. However, when she wanted to open the box, her heart tightened again. The feeling was so strong that it made her a little scared for a moment.
In the evening, when her husband Tian Erxi came back, Li Xia told her husband about this matter. Her husband was a theist and believed in things like curses. After discussing it, the two decided to follow what was written on the note. They did not open the box, but threw it into the trash can.
I thought the matter was over with the box thrown away, but when Li Xia woke up the next day, the box was neatly placed at the head of her bed. Li Xia screamed in fear and her husband was also awakened by her scream. When he saw the box appear at the head of the bed, he was immediately frightened and broke out in a cold sweat.
The two men checked the room carefully, thinking that it might be someone they had cheated before who wanted to scare them, but the doors and windows were all locked tightly, and they lived on the 18th floor, so there was no way for them to climb up from below.
This strange thing immediately made the two of them feel something was wrong, but Li Xia was a swindler. Although she was afraid in her heart, she still didn't believe her husband's fallacy about being cursed by the devil.
Li Xia once again threw the box into the trash can far away from their home. The day passed very normally, and Li Xia and her husband stayed at home all day doing nothing. Until the evening, the box did not come back automatically, but Li Xia was still worried and planned to watch it all night. In the middle of the night, Li Xia suddenly felt the urge to urinate and went to the bathroom. When she fumbled to turn on the light, her pupils suddenly shrank. She could not believe her eyes, because the box was now placed on the toilet seat.
This scene almost frightened Li Xia to death. She began to believe that this might be a curse. After the two of them spent a night in fear, Li Xia threw the box out again early in the morning. After dealing with the box, she found the security guard and asked him to help retrieve the video footage of the past two nights.
However, Li Xia did not see any suspicious people entering the floor where they were from the video. This result made Li Xia completely believe that this might really be a curse.
After returning home, Li Xia discussed with her husband and thought that the house might be unclean, so the two went to his parents' house together. The box did not appear that night, and the two were sure in their hearts that it might be that their house was unclean and attracted some evil spirits.
But before they could be happy, their parents, who had gone out for morning exercise early, came back with the box and said they had found it at the door.
When they saw the box again, the fear in Li Xia and the others' hearts reached its peak. It was still the same box, without any change, but this time there was a note on the box.
"Return to your home immediately, otherwise you will die a miserable death." This time the signature is the devil approaching.
The two did not dare to disobey, but they were careful. They gave the box to his parents, and before leaving, they told their parents to wait until they left before opening it.
They wanted to see if anything would happen to his parents after they opened the box, but when they wanted to drive back, something horrifying happened again: the box appeared on the driver's seat, and at the same time, a box also appeared on the passenger seat.
A note also appeared on the box: "Very suitable for holding a human head, right?" The signature did not change this time, it was still The Devil is Approaching.
After seeing the words on the note this time, both of them felt a deep palpitation. They knew that they were really being targeted by the devil. However, the two boxes made Li Xia and the others even more afraid to open them. The words on the note: "Very suitable for holding human heads, right?" undoubtedly told them that as long as they opened it, their heads would be cut off and put into the box.
After Li Xia and her friend experienced the boxes returning automatically so many times, they gave up the idea of throwing the boxes away. These days they didn't dare go anywhere and just stayed at home staring at the two boxes.
Several days passed in a flash. Today, the two were still looking at the two boxes in front of them anxiously. As they looked at them, their faces changed drastically, because two more notes appeared on the two boxes out of thin air.
This time there was nothing written on the note, only a signature: "The Devil is Coming!!!"
The time at this time was exactly 2:55.
Just when the two were still terrified, their doorbell rang.
The people who came were Chen Ping and Zhao Liang.
Li Xia and the other person in the house walked to the door tremblingly. They looked through the peephole and saw Chen Ping and the other person. After hesitating for a moment, Li Xia asked tremblingly, "Who, who?"
"Police! Here's my ID!"
Hearing the police coming, Li Xia, who should have been scared, actually felt relieved. She quickly opened the door. After the door was opened, before Chen Ping and the others entered the room, Li Xia grabbed Chen Ping's arm and cried, "Mr. Policeman, please save us! There is a demon trying to kill us!"
Seeing Li Xia's expression, Tian Erxi pretended to be calm and pulled his wife aside, saying, "What are you doing? Let the police come in!"
Li Xia's performance surprised Chen Ping. It was obvious that Li Xia had had contact with ghosts before, otherwise she would not have such a big reaction. Chen Ping looked down at his watch. Now it was Li Xia's death time, which meant that the ghost could take action, but it had not found the opportunity yet.
After entering the house, Li Xia and the other two did not ask the police why they came to their house, and Chen Ping did not explain the reason either. Seeing that Li Xia and the other two were in this state, he no longer needed to tell any lies to get clues.
"Okay, now tell me how you knew the devil was going to kill you!"
