Volume 4: Return of the Dead Chapter 0080 New Event
The air froze at this moment, and she felt a chill on her back, as if something was blowing air at her. Cheng Wushuang pursed her lips with a pale face, and then, as if mustering up great courage, she suddenly turned around.
"call--!"
Looking at the empty space behind her, Cheng Wushuang breathed a sigh of relief, although her face still did not look very good.
"Where is the child? Where is he? I'm telling you, Xiao Zhang, if you keep talking nonsense next time, you won't have to go to work!"
Cheng Wushuang scolded sharply, and felt around uncertainly, which made her look a little funny. But Secretary Zhang was not amused at all. Now there was a big question mark hanging over her head: Can't the supervisor see the child?
Otherwise she would have known that the child had climbed onto her back!
Secretary Zhang was actually more frightened than Cheng Wushuang. She and all the employees could see the child, but Cheng Wushuang insisted that she had never seen any child and the child was definitely not hers.
Cheng Wushuang is the director of the company, so it is impossible for him to lie with his eyes open. So, there are only two possibilities for this matter. One is that Cheng Wushuang is crazy, and the other is... they have seen a ghost!
"The supervisor must be crazy. How could there be ghosts in this world?"
Thinking of this, she felt much more relieved. However, when she looked over again, Cheng Wushuang and the child had already left.
Because her clothes were covered with mud, Cheng Wushuang had to take them off and rushed to the elevator. When she passed by the work area, the strange looks of the employees appeared in her eyes again, as if they had seen an unbelievable scene.
"What are you looking at! Don't you know it's work time?"
Cheng Wushuang glared at the employees fiercely. Seeing this, everyone looked away, but she could still hear some trivial voices. She was too lazy to listen to what they said and walked a little faster.
Finally she came to the elevator. Luckily, the elevator just stopped at this floor and there was no one inside. No one inside was exactly what she hoped to see, otherwise she would inevitably get that kind of look.
In fact, she had a suspicion in her heart, could it be that the so-called child did not exist? Was it a fabrication by the employees to scare her? Just like the story of three people making a tiger, she thought it was true.
"It must be like this. They deliberately made the same statement in order to scare me away with ghost stories. If I leave, they can do whatever they want in the company."
After thinking this through, Cheng Wushuang was indeed not as panicked as before, and even wanted to walk out of the elevator and go back to work. But thinking that his clothes were still dirty, he could not help but give up the idea and closed the elevator door with peace of mind.
However, just as the elevator door was about to close, a large hand suddenly inserted into the gap, and then the elevator door slowly opened again.
"Huh?"
Seeing the man coming in, Cheng Wushuang couldn't help but let out a sigh. This man looked very familiar. Where had she seen him before? Where?
Similarly, after the man closed the elevator door, he also looked at her with an inexplicable gaze. For a moment, the atmosphere in the elevator was a little awkward. Finally, both of them started talking:
"us……"
This sentence was almost said in unison, and Cheng Wushuang became even more embarrassed. The man was fine, he smiled gracefully and then said to her:
"Lady first."
Cheng Wushuang also smiled back, and then listened to her say:
"You look very familiar to me, maybe we have met somewhere before."
"Of course, because we already know each other."
The man smiled, but soon the smile on his face faded:
"But I have to say, time flies by so fast. In the blink of an eye, we are all about to turn 30."
"Who are you?"
From the way the man spoke, he really sounded like someone she was very familiar with, but she thought for a long time and couldn't remember knowing him.
Seeing that Cheng Wushuang didn't recognize him, the man shrugged with a wry smile, and then said as a reminder:
"Qingfeng County."
Hearing the words "Qingfeng County", Cheng Wushuang's eyes widened immediately, and he looked at the man in front of him in surprise:
"You were then..."
"Indefinitely." The man showed a look of nostalgia and murmured:
"You gave me this nickname. It's been almost twenty years since we separated."
Cheng Wushuang finally recognized the man in front of her. He was one of her childhood playmates. It was no wonder that she had no impression of him. After all, she had been away from there for more than ten years. Besides, the little kid at that time had grown into a handsome man.
"Yeah, if you didn't remind me, I wouldn't be able to remember it. I just feel a little familiar."
At this point, Cheng Wushuang remembered something:
"By the way, why are you here?"
"I'm at work, but it's just the second day since I was transferred here."
"Is that so? Well, I have something to ask you. Although we haven't been in touch for so many years, I don't think you would lie to me."
Hearing this, the man was slightly startled, then nodded and said:
"Of course, what do you want to ask?"
"Have my colleagues talked about me in private? Like they wanted to play a prank on me, or try to force me to leave. Is it the kind of conspiracy to force me to leave with a unified rhetoric?"
"I haven't heard of it, but today some people were talking about the child you brought with you. To be honest, I was very surprised when I saw it. I didn't even know you were married and had children."
"What! You saw that child, too?"
"Yes, I took a quick glance when I came this morning and saw you walking in front of me with a little kid beside you. Then I saw you enter the office."
Cheng Wushuang's expression suddenly turned ugly again. She stared into the man's eyes and asked word by word:
"Swear you didn't lie to me!"
The man was stunned by Cheng Wushuang's sudden change in expression, but he still answered instinctively:
"I swear."
Upon hearing the man's confident answer, all color immediately disappeared from Cheng Wushuang's face.
"What happened? Is there something wrong with that child?"
Seeing that Cheng Wushuang's face looked very ugly, the man asked again with concern.
"I don't have any children at all!"
The elevator door suddenly opened at this time, Cheng Wushuang pushed the man away and walked out angrily. The man looked at Cheng Wushuang's back, feeling confused and regretful.
Suddenly, a hazy figure appeared in his sight. It was a dirty child who ran over from somewhere, then caught up with Cheng Wushuang who was walking in front of him, and climbed onto her back in a few seconds.
Just as the two were about to disappear, the child turned around and looked at him, and this look made him shudder.
"That child... why do I feel like I've seen him somewhere? Oh, didn't she say she didn't have any children? Then why did she let such a dirty child crawl on her? Besides, with such a big child crawling on her, she didn't look like she had any effort at all!"
The more the man thought about it, the more strange it seemed to him. Cheng Wushuang was no more than 30 years old, and the child looked to be only 11 or 12 years old. Even judging from the time period, it couldn't be Cheng Wushuang's child.
He didn't know why he thought so much. Maybe he was still thinking Wushuang. He still remembered the promise he made when he was a child that he would find Wushuang when he grew up and marry her.
"Haha, I'm so naive."
The man smiled bitterly and shook his head, then left quickly.
Cheng Wushuang regretted it as soon as she came out of the building . She and Wuqi were old acquaintances, and it was fate that they met again after so many years. But she lost her temper at him without knowing why, and the meeting ended in a bad way.
We haven't seen each other for so many years, we should have found a place to chat, but she...
"It's all that kid's fault! I will definitely find out the kid's identity!"
When she thought of this, she lost all interest and simply opened the car door and got in. Wuqi had not mentioned the child in the elevator before, so the child was probably not with her at that time.
She suddenly thought that it would be a better idea to call the police, what if the child mistook her for his mother? But she didn't know what the child looked like, and she couldn't describe it if she called the police.
While thinking, she had already started the car, but just as she was about to step on the accelerator, she accidentally caught a glimpse of something.
It was the shoes! The shoes she had thrown into the trash can that morning!
How could it be...how could it appear on her passenger seat again?
Wait! Children's shoes, invisible children!
Cheng Wushuang suddenly thought of something, and she screamed in fear. She opened the car door and threw the shoe out in a panic. Then, she stepped on the accelerator and drove away like a frightened bird.
At the same time, everyone here.
The bus was speeding along the endless highway with the roar of the engine. This was the third day that Xiao Mo and his companions had spent in the bus. In other words, they were very close to the next incident.
"We're just going to sit here quietly? Aren't we going to hold a war meeting?"
Li Shuai suddenly broke the silence in the car and gave suggestions to Zhang Tianyi and Lao Gao. After all, these two people were veterans in solving incidents.
Zhang Tianyi did not respond, obviously he did not have that elegance. As for Lao Gao, he looked at Li Shuai with a sarcastic expression, which showed that he never had such a habit.
Xiao Mo had already expected this situation to happen. Li Shuai and Lao Gao only told them about some things like the rules. As for experience and preparation, they never talked too much about them.
“How boring!”
Li Shuai complained and muttered, and sat back next to Xiao Mo. Seeing this, the Decaying Mage smiled and comforted him:
"You think we are a combat team? We still need to hold an emergency meeting."
"Don't tell me, I really think so. Otherwise, why would we gather together?"
"Even if we hold a meeting, what can we discuss? We know nothing about the next incident!"
Xiao Mo laughed dryly twice. He also wanted to be fully prepared, but Xinyan's premonition was only useful during the incident, so now they could only stare out the window in a daze.
As the three were talking, Lao Gao, who was driving, suddenly reminded them:
"Everyone get ready, we have arrived at the location of this incident!"
