Volume 3: Death in Progress Chapter 061 The True Face of the Observer
Shanxu is 35 years old and is a relatively important cadre in a certain city. His biggest hobby is to meet elites , and his other hobby is to flirt with young and beautiful girls.
He himself also pays great attention to his image. Every time he goes out, he will make his side-parted hair shiny, and he pays great attention to his tone when talking. It can be said that Shanxu has the standard style of an official.
But in recent days, he has been in a very embarrassing situation. Not only did he flatly refuse any social engagements, he also flatly rejected those girls who called him and wanted to throw themselves at him. The reason was that he had a strong feeling that he was being watched these days.
This feeling originally came from a birthday party a few days ago. As a distinguished guest of the party, he naturally recited a congratulatory speech to the birthday host in person under the spotlight of many flashes. However, the moment when all the flashes focused on him, he suddenly felt like he was being watched, and the feeling was extremely strong!
At first he thought it might be officials sent by the state to deliberately inspect him and collect evidence of his corruption, so he did not take it seriously. However, after the party, he still had that feeling. In the next few days, no matter where he went or what he did, this extremely strong feeling of being monitored would follow him like a shadow, but this feeling was not always so strong but fluctuated.
But in the past two days he could no longer bear it, because the feeling of being monitored has now turned into an extremely dangerous feeling. This feeling seemed to have magic that forced him to believe and fear that someone was watching him and trying to kill him.
But he couldn't find the reason. He didn't know who had been monitoring him, nor did he know who he had offended. He even sent several people to follow him secretly who had been monitoring him and wanted to kill him seemed to be very close to him, as if it could see no matter what he was doing.
This feeling made him feel creepy again. For the sake of safety, he resolutely gave up going out and even asked his superiors for permission to tell him that someone wanted to kill him. He arranged many police officers to ambush around his house, while he stayed at home and did not go anywhere. He locked the doors and windows of his house, and covered every place where sunlight could enter with curtains. He blocked all the ways to peek into his room. He wanted to see how he could be monitored in this way. After he turned his home into a dark secret room, the feeling of being monitored disappeared, so he became more certain that the person who wanted to kill him was watching him somewhere outside, so he dared not leave.
Zhang Fengyu and Cheng En naturally had no way of knowing Shanxu's situation, but they knew Shanxu's identity, so it was not easy to get close to Shanxu. After thinking about it, Zhang Fengyu decided to call Shanxu first to find out more about the situation.
“Ring-Ring——!”
Shanxu's cell phone suddenly rang. Shanxu picked up the phone with a puzzled look in his eyes. At this time, the feeling of being monitored appeared again, but it was very weak. Shanxu pressed the answer button and asked, "Who are you?"
"You are Shanxu, right...!"
Zhang Fengyu read out all the information about Shanxu given in the mission to Shanxu. Shanxu on the other end of the phone was shocked and showed a strong murderous intent.
"Who are you? You are the one who has been spying on me these days. Tell me, what do you want?"
"Surveillance?" Zhang Fengyu thought to himself after hearing this. He had a vague guess and replied, "It feels good to be monitored, right? Is there also a strong sense of palpitations?"
When Shan Xu heard Zhang Fengyu's words, he naturally regarded Zhang Fengyu as the murderer. He snorted coldly and said, "I can give you money if you want it, but please stop monitoring me. You must be aware of my methods in Hongzheng City. As long as I want to find you, it is only a matter of time. By then, not only will you not get a penny, but you will also die miserably!"
Zhang Fengyu didn't care about Shanxu's naked threat. Cheng En reminded Zhang Fengyu that Shanxu's death time was half over. Zhang Fengyu gestured to Cheng En and said, "Shanxu, I'm telling you very clearly that the person who is monitoring you is not me, but a ghost. Whether you believe it or not, I hope you will believe me for now."
"You said ghosts are going to kill me? Haha, why don't you say aliens are going to kill me?" Shanxu knocked gently on his door as he spoke. Then he heard several sounds of doors closing. It seemed that the people Shanxu arranged here came out of the houses.
Zhang Fengyu didn't dare to approach Shanxu, because Shanxu's identity was too special, and there would inevitably be some people secretly protecting him. If he was killed by a ghost, he would be in big trouble, so he could only communicate with Shanxu through the phone. However, seeing that Shanxu was about to pass the time of death and had not been killed by the ghost, Zhang Fengyu also felt a glimmer of hope, and he stopped talking nonsense.
"Shanxu, I'm not kidding you. The one watching you is a ghost. Of course, you don't have to believe it, but you just stay where you are and don't move. You'll be fine in two minutes. "
Shan Xu rolled his eyes and quickly replied: "Okay, I'll listen to you, but I hope you don't hang up the phone."
"Okay, I won't hang up."
Zhang Fengyu couldn't guess Shanxu's intention. Shanxu was planning to find him through signal positioning. However, Zhang Fengyu believed that there should be no problem with the phone number specially provided for them by the Death Base.
Shan Xu really thought so. He turned on the TV and deliberately put the phone on the sofa very close to the TV, wanting Zhang Fengyu to think that he did nothing but watched TV in the house. While doing this series of things, the feeling in his heart was strengthened a bit. However, he did not think too much about it. Anyway, the murderer would be found out soon. After doing all this, he quietly opened the door.
At this time, there were several police officers outside the door with their equipment ready. Shanxu opened the door and welcomed them in. The room was made very dark by Shanxu, and Shanxu had already adapted to it in these days, but these people were extremely uncomfortable. Therefore, after entering the room, they immediately turned on the lights. However, at the moment of turning on the lights, Shanxu's body suddenly strangled his own neck. Seeing this, these people hurried over to stop him, but it was too late. Shanxu had already strangled his own neck.
Shanxu didn't know until his death why he reached out and strangled his own neck, but if you look closely, you can see that Shanxu's shadow actually showed a strange smile.
Zhang Fengyu had already learned about Shanxu's screams when she died and the exclamations of the people around her through a phone call, but he didn't know how the ghost killed people because he hadn't seen it, but he had a guess.
Shanxu was killed by his own shadow, or rather, by the ghost hiding in his shadow. The first time Shanxu felt that he was being watched was when the spotlight was focused on him. At that time, his shadow could be said to have completely appeared on the ground, and the ghost hid in his shadow at that time.
After that, Shanxu always had this feeling, that the shadow was following him all the time, but the size of the shadow would naturally vary with the light source. When the shadow was small, Shanxu naturally felt that the feeling of being monitored was weak, and vice versa, the feeling would naturally be strong. After he blocked all places where light could be projected, the shadow naturally dissolved into the darkness. Therefore, the shadow was equivalent to disappearing, so Shanxu felt very safe.
The opportunity for the ghost to kill people is the appearance of the shadow, so even if Zhang Fengyu did not call Shanxu, as long as a ray of light shines into Shanxu's room and Shanxu's shadow appears, Shanxu will be killed, unless Shanxu just stays in the dark corner and waits until the death time is completely over. Zhang Fengyu could not judge whether Shanxu's death was caused by Zhang Fengyu's phone call. It might be because of himself, or it might not be. But Shanxu's death once again made Zhang Fengyu certain in his heart that these ten people would inevitably die within the death time.
"Feng Yu, Shan Xu is dead?" Cheng En asked in disbelief when he saw Zhang Feng Yu hung up the phone. After all, Shan Xu was still alive and well a minute ago, and Zhang Feng Yu had already told him that everything remained the same.
Zhang Fengyu smiled bitterly at Cheng En and said, "He's dead. Shan Xu's identity is too special. It's hard for us to get close to him. He gave this task to such a person. I think he calculated that we can't communicate with him except by phone. Otherwise, if he catches us and locks us up, we will definitely die."
Cheng En thought about it and agreed. He sighed heavily and asked, "Where are we going now?"
"Go to Zhao Jingyao!"
"Feng Yu, I think we should not go. Maybe if we don't get involved, these dead people wouldn't have died." Cheng En now doubted whether this was also a trap of the mission. He obviously didn't know that the outcome of this mission had already been determined.
Zhang Fengyu shook his head and said, "Let's try again. In this way, at least we still have the initiative. If we don't go, then we're just trying our luck, and I don't like trying my luck!"
