Volume 4: Return of the Dead Chapter 0084 The Second
After dinner, everyone gathered in Zhang Tianyi's room again. In order not to affect their appetite, they hardly talked about this incident at the dinner table, so most people were still confused.
"What on earth could have put a note in a worm's pocket?"
When asking this question, Li Shuai glanced at Lao Gao who was sitting next to him calmly, but Lao Gao seemed not to have heard it and didn't even look at him.
Without waiting for Zhang Tianyi to answer, Master Corruption spoke first:
"It should be a ghost, because only ghosts are invisible to our naked eyes."
Just as the corrupt mage was describing the situation vividly, Zhang Tianyi poured a bucket of cold water on him:
"Whether it's an evil ghost or a vicious ghost , they can become invisible in front of our eyes. What you said is just one aspect of identification. We can't jump to conclusions based on this one aspect. But relatively speaking, the possibility that that thing is a ghost is higher."
"If it is a ghost, then the note may have some kind of foreshadowing. Otherwise, wouldn't it be very unnecessary for it to give us the note?"
Xiao Mo took over Zhang Tianyi's words. He had read the note over and over again, but no matter how he looked at it, it was just an ordinary piece of straw paper with only a few words on it, and there was no sign .
"Those ghosts don't do things in a regular way. They gave us that piece of paper probably just to scare us."
The words of the Corruption Mage were recognized by Li Shuai this time, but Xiao Mo ignored them and asked Zhang Tianyi:
"This incident has already begun. What is your next plan of action?"
"Find the first dead person, and then think about the others."
Having said this, he suddenly turned his head and ordered everyone to leave:
"The clues we have are almost negligible, so even if you discuss here until dawn, you are bound to get no results. You might as well go back and take a shower and have a good sleep. Maybe new clues will appear tomorrow."
"indeed."
Xiao Mo nodded in disbelief, and then left Zhang Tianyi's room with the others. After everyone left, the room suddenly became quiet, and the only sound was the "clacking" sound of Zhang Tianyi typing on the keyboard.
After a series of knocks, Zhang Tianyi stood up from his chair and sat opposite Lao Gao.
"I'm not a person who has the patience to listen to others' stories. You'd better keep your story short."
"I know."
Lao Gao slowly lit a cigarette for himself and took a deep puff. He exhaled the smoke and asked Zhang Tianyi:
"How long have we known each other?"
"I never remember anything like that."
"Right."
Lao Gao gave a bitter smile, but Zhang Tianyi frowned:
"what do you want to say in the end!"
"I'm dying."
Lao Gao said this very calmly, as if he was ready to face death at any time. Lao Gao's words surprised Zhang Tianyi a little. He asked with a strange look on his face:
"Why?"
"Because I did something wrong, I will be punished. That's it. Actually... that note was not for you, but for me. I didn't tell you before that it also left a message for me."
"What?"
"It said it's back! So I'm dying, it won't let me go."
As he spoke, Lao Gao took two deep puffs of his cigarette, as if all the strength in his body had been drained by these two sentences. However, Zhang Tianyi did not react at all, and only asked calmly:
"So what are you going to do?"
"Leave, I plan to leave you, so that maybe it won't affect you. This is the only thing I can do for you."
"Then what are you still doing here?"
"Because I have something I want to remind you."
"Oh? I really want to hear it."
Lao Gao put out the cigarette in his hand, stared closely into Zhang Tianyi's eyes, and then said:
"I know what they did to you. Not only did they replace your eyes, but also..."
"If that's all you want to say, then I'm sorry, but I have no desire to listen."
"Okay, I don't want to expose your pain, but I must remind you that when you find out everything, you must destroy the truth and never let those crazy bastards know. You should know that they are playing with fire and will not have a good ending..."
At the same time, in the room where Xiao Mo was.
After Xiao Mo came back, he took a cold shower to make himself more awake. He didn't have the nerves of Li Shuai to fall asleep when he was in an incident. He set an alarm every five minutes, so that he could be awake most of the time, at least when he was alone at night.
After setting the alarm, Xiao Mo planned to take a nap, however... the phone that hadn't rung for a long time suddenly made a sound!
"You have a new message..."
Xiao Mo's heart began to beat violently. He was definitely scared by the text message. Although this was related to reality, he had done an experiment and used his mobile phone to call his parents abroad, but the call never went through. In other words, mobile phones here could only be used for local communications, and the range only included the city where the supernatural event occurred.
He picked up his phone nervously. The sender was particularly eye-catching. It was the mysterious person who had not contacted him for a long time. He opened the message nervously and found that there were only two words on it:
"careful!"
These two short words made Xiao Mo a little confused. He didn't know what they meant. Was it just a reminder for him to be careful of ghosts, or was it for him to be careful of someone?
Thinking carefully, Xiao Mo felt that it couldn't be a reminder for him to be careful of ghosts, because that was undoubtedly nonsense, so it must be to be careful of someone. But here he could only interact with Lao Gao, Li Shuai and others, so what the mysterious man meant was... to let him be careful of these people?
In addition, he discovered another thing, that is, even in this situation, the mysterious man could still send him a message. This shows that there are only two possibilities, one is that the mysterious man is in this city, and the other is that the mysterious man has some kind of supernatural ability.
"What exactly is this person's purpose?"
The next morning, Xiao Mo just came out of the room and heard a terrible news that Lao Gao left alone. Zhang Tianyi told them about this incident, saying that this incident was caused by Lao Gao, so Lao Gao chose to face it alone.
"Are you kidding me? You're going to face it alone? He talked to you and you just let him go? I'm telling you, are you a human being? No matter how bad a worm is, you've been through life and death together, and you're just going to abandon him like that!"
After listening to Li Shuai's incoherent scolding, Zhang Tianyi raised his eyelids and said:
"If you can't bear to leave, you can just follow him. Otherwise, don't waste your time talking nonsense. If this is really as Lao Gao said, and it's a revenge of the evil spirit, then if we stay with him, we will definitely die.
If you have a way to appease the evil spirits' hatred, then you can go with Lao Gao, no one will stop you!"
Listening to the quarrel between Li Shuai and Zhang Tianyi, Xiao Mo suddenly felt uneasy. After all, he had the ability to deal with evil spirits. Could he just watch Lao Gao die?
Li Shuai was yelling loudly when he heard Xin Yan, who came out from nowhere, say coldly:
"The second premonition word appeared."
