Volume 3: Nightmare Attacks Chapter 0058 Inquiry
The surging fear eroded most of Yige's sanity. He stared at his hands blankly, his face full of disbelief and horror.
"I killed someone. I killed Zhang Xiaoxi... What should I do..."
Yige cried weakly. His heart seemed to have fallen into an abyss at this moment. Every part of his skin was filled with the coldness that penetrated deep into his bones. Even his eardrums were buzzing.
Just when he was at a loss and didn't know what to do, a man's voice suddenly sounded in front of him:
"Yige-san, should we find a place to talk?"
The appearance of this voice immediately made Yige become a frightened bird. He looked up with fear and saw three people standing less than ten steps away from him.
Yige's body trembled violently, because there was a dead person lying at his feet. They would think that he was the murderer! Although Yige's personality was withdrawn, he was not calm. What's more, he was facing such a weird thing, so he immediately cried out:
"I didn't kill anyone... I didn't kill Zhang Xiaoxi... I swear... I just had a nightmare..."
Yige spoke while choking and slowly backing away. He had lost all his rationality now and just wanted to escape from the sight of these people as quickly as possible, then run down the mountain and escape from this town.
But his plan obviously did not go as he wished. Behind him, three more people walked towards him. He wanted to turn around and run away, but suddenly a strong force came from behind his head. He screamed and his body was pressed to the ground.
"Okay, kid, run another one and let me see!"
Li Shuai grabbed Yi Ge's head and slapped him twice to scare him, which made Yi Ge scream again.
"Don't scare him anymore. I think he's about to collapse."
The Corruption Mage tried to stop Li Shuai, but Li Shuai curled his lips and pulled Yige up from the ground.
"Don't be afraid. We are the police. We believe you have nothing to do with Zhang Xiaoxi's death. We hope you can calm down."
Zhang Tianyi took out his police ID, which he didn't know whether it was real or not, and waved it in front of Yige's dull eyes. Then he said to Lao Gao and others:
"We're taking him back for questioning."
It was not surprising that Xiao Mo and the others appeared here. They had been paying attention to the developments over there because earlier, Yige and the others had gone to the surrounding area to search for Zhang Xiaoxi. So in order not to be exposed for the time being, everyone moved their positions as if playing hide-and-seek.
Moving from a position closer to the south to a position closer to the north, I could still clearly observe every move in the camp over there.
After more than half an hour of comforting, Yige's out-of-control emotions finally stabilized a little.
Perhaps with the idea of helping Xiao Mo regain his memory, Zhang Tianyi and Lao Gao gave Xiao Mo the task of questioning Yige. Xiao Mo didn't mind this either, after all, this kind of plot is common in suspense novels, and he already remembers it by heart.
"Are you saying that Zhang Xiaoxi's experience in reality is exactly the same as what you dreamed of?"
" Although it's weird, it's true. I'm always woken up by that kind of dream."
"When did this dream start to appear?"
"It seems to be the nap three days ago. I even called Zhang Xiaoxi at that time."
Having said that, Yige looked at the people surrounding him and asked in a suspicious tone:
"Do you really think there are ghosts in this world? Was Zhang Xiaoxi killed by a ghost?"
Xiao Mo glanced at Yi Ge, then he said:
"Whether it is a ghost or not, we still need to investigate. If you want to clear your identity as a suspect, you must fully cooperate with us. Otherwise , I will tell your classmates about this and order you to leave the mountain immediately!"
"I'll listen to you. I'll do my best to cooperate. Don't tell them. Please!"
Seeing Yige begging for mercy, Lao Gao and the Corruption Mage both shook their heads and laughed. It was obvious that Xiao Mo's approach was very professional.
The questioning of Yige continued, and Yige did not hide anything, telling him about his experiences, dreams, and even some details of the past few days. At this point, everyone had a preliminary understanding of the incident.
Just when Xiao Mo was about to end the questioning, Yige said another thing.
"All of our watches stopped. Weird, right? And they all stopped at the same time."
"Is it stopping at 1:10 p.m.?"
"No, it's 12:10. Judging from your expressions, have your watches stopped, too?"
Xiao Mo ignored Yi Ge's question. He looked at everyone. It was obvious that everyone was confused just like him. The same time stopped by coincidence, but the time of stopping was different. Who knew what this meant.
At this time, Zhang Tianyi gave Xiao Mo a look, and Xiao Mo nodded in understanding, and then said to Yi Ge:
"Let's stop here for now! In addition, you have to keep Zhang Xiaoxi's matter confidential for the time being. As for his body, we will take care of it. When you go back, do as I told you before. Don't be afraid, we will protect you."
After Xiao Mo finished speaking, the Corruption Mage handed a square box to Yige. Yige opened the box and found that it contained a battery, two cameras and two microphones.
"Mount these at two opposite corners of the tent, with one facing the door."
Zhang Tianyi was afraid that Yige would forget, so he reminded her again.
"But this is a barren mountain with no signal coverage. How are you going to monitor it all the time?"
"Don't worry, we have equipment to enhance the signal source and will always keep an eye on you. Don't worry about you getting into danger. We won't be able to see such problems."
"Okay, I'll go back first then."
After Yige left, Master Eruption could not help but ask Zhang Tianyi:
"I remember you didn't buy a computer. How can you monitor without a computer?"
"Yeah, so I lied to him!"
"you……"
"Okay, let's discuss this incident now."
Lao Gao interrupted the corrupt mage who was about to lose his temper, and then he got to the point and said:
"From the known clues, it is very likely that this incident was caused by an evil spirit, and the 'nightmare' should be the cursed object. In addition, Xinyan's premonition can also explain a certain problem. Only when the previous victim dies, the next victim will enter the premonition.
But there is still a certain connection between the two victims, the connection between dreams and reality, the content of the dream is equal to the encounter in reality, and it is not predicted in advance, but happens simultaneously.
In that case, can we make such an assumption. Suppose Yige dreams that Zhang Xiaoxi is killed by him, and Zhang Xiaoxi is also facing death threats in reality, then if we kill Yige who is dreaming at this time, will Zhang Xiaoxi be saved? In this way, even if this incident is a curse, it is equivalent to the destruction of this chain link. Is this the key to solving this incident? "
Before Lao Gao finished speaking, Zhang Tianyi immediately retorted:
"Do you think it will be so easy? Think about it, if this is really a curse, and we really break the curse, then the result will be the release of the evil spirits. At that time... who can survive? Just rely on that mirror that may or may not work!"
Hearing this, Xiao Mo laughed dryly twice. He actually hoped that this incident was caused by an evil spirit rather than the so-called ghost. In this way, his life would be completely safe.
However, this incident has just begun, and it is still hard to say what the truth is.
