Volume 4: Return of the Dead Chapter 0090 Death Date
In order to avoid encountering real police officers who came to investigate, after completing the questioning of all the employees, everyone left the company and returned to the hotel where they had previously stayed.
After returning, Zhang Tianyi still sat in front of the computer, typing away on the keyboard and searching non-stop, but the effect seemed to be minimal, and he hadn't found anything until now.
During the process, Li Shuai couldn't stand the loneliness, so he instigated the Decaying Mage to leave the hotel with him. He also asked Xiao Mo to go with him, but Xiao Mo refused because he was not in the mood. To be honest, he was really afraid that he would become a psychopath like Li Shuai if he stayed with him for a long time. However, he was more concerned about staying to see if he could help. Although he lacked experience in handling incidents, he at least had some ability to analyze and organize clues.
The main reason for staying here was to observe Zhang Tianyi, to learn his cautious attitude and his calm mindset. These things were all experience for him. After all, if he wanted to survive, he couldn't always rely on Zhang Tianyi.
In fact, Xiao Mo also saw that Zhang Tianyi was obviously stalling for time. He had already found out Wu Qi's address, but he just didn't tell them. Zhang Tianyi was afraid that they would try to prevent Wu Qi's death, lest they fail to stop it and anger the evil spirit, and be included in the evil spirit's kill list.
Although they didn't like Zhang Tianyi's indifference to life, as Zhang Tianyi told them at the beginning, his principle of action in the incident was to be cautious. Saving people was just to save himself, and once saving people became a burden, he would immediately choose to give up.
Although Xiao Mo hated Zhang Tianyi's daily behavior, he could understand it to some extent. After all, Zhang Tianyi had already gone through two reincarnations, and this was his third reincarnation journey. Including those in reality, he had experienced at least dozens of incidents.
The most uncommon thing in the event is death. If a person keeps witnessing all kinds of death and separation, he will become numb and indifferent to the lives of others. On the contrary, he will cherish his own life more, because he knows how difficult it is to maintain his life to the present, and how many hurricanes and rainstorms he has experienced along the way. So when it comes to Zhang Tianyi and Lao Gao, they are no longer simply afraid of death and are full of desire to live, but they are unwilling to see their efforts for so long go to waste.
"It seems that amnesia is not such a bad thing."
For the first time, Xiao Mo felt that his amnesia was a blessing. After losing those two years of crucial memories, he was completely a different person. As the saying goes, the more you know, the more you worry. Now he knows very little, so he can still pursue his life with hope.
He should think more about it. He has a reason and a need to live. He has never been alone. He still has a warm family and some friends to rely on. So... he has a reason to fight to prolong his life.
A feeling of sadness suddenly came over him, and at this moment, his hand on his leg reached out to touch the tightly wrapped mirror. Compared with Zhang Tianyi and others, he obviously had a slight advantage in self-preservation. This mirror was something he brought out from the forbidden area. There must be some reason Sooner or later, he would find out the secret of this mirror.
In this current incident, the ghosts in it have at least an 80% chance of being evil spirits. This provides him with an excellent opportunity to verify that the mirror can absorb evil spirits. This is just his guess. The mirror can deal with evil spirits that appear on the road, but whether it can deal with evil spirits in the incident is still unknown.
He couldn't wait until the day when the evil spirit was about to kill him before he took out the mirror to verify it. The consequences of failure were something he couldn't afford. So in order to better survive in the future, he had to verify this guess, even if it was a little risky. Although he had to verify it, he didn't intend to act blindly. He wanted to minimize the risk as much as possible and try to leave himself a way out in case of failure.
While thinking, he glanced out the window again. The sun had already set outside, leaving only a few lonely afterglows still struggling in this world, but they were destined to not escape the fate of being swallowed by darkness.
There was a slender figure standing in front of the window, the afterglow of the setting sun shining on her body, making her figure hazy and difficult to distinguish. Xiao Mo couldn't see Xin Yan's expression, but he could feel that Xin Yan was confused and lonely at the moment.
This was a person who had almost no sense of existence. If it weren't for her ability to predict the future, everyone would have forgotten her. He had never seen Xin Yan smile, nor had he ever heard Xin Yan say anything extra. She was strangely quiet from beginning to end, as if nothing existed in her eyes.
Recalling the conversation between Li Shuai and Xin Yan in the previous incident, Li Shuai's question at that time has always been on his mind.
"You came from that place too?"
He remembered that Li Shuai had asked this question at the time. When he recalled their first meeting, Li Shuai had also said that the person who asked him to come to No. 2 Qingming Road had not told him anything. It can be seen that Li Shuai, and even Zhang Tianyi and others, would enter No. 2 Qingming Road, which was probably caused by human intervention. Although he also suspected that it was the mysterious person, he thought it was unlikely.
In addition, Xinyan’s answer at the time is also worth pondering. She did not simply deny it, but:
"No, actually I know nothing about what you are saying."
If Xinyan did not lie and she really did not know the place Li Shuai was talking about, then who made her come here?
These questions have been lingering in Xiao Mo's mind. He has the urge to ask, but he knows that if everyone wants to say it, they would have said it long ago, and he doesn't need to ask. In addition, their friendship is not that deep, and it is difficult to find out anything even if he asks. He needs to find an opportunity to find out these contents.
Xiao Mo slowly withdrew his gaze from Xin Yan, and at this time, Zhang Tianyi finally made a decision.
"Let's go to Wu Qi's home now!"
Wu Qi stood in the corner farthest from the bedroom door, holding his breath and searching for any sound in the room. Because the lights were not on, the bedroom seemed a little dim at this time, and only Wu Qi's elongated shadow could be seen, shaking slightly on the ground.
"It's getting dark..."
Looking at the gloomy sky, Wu Qi shuddered inexplicably, and the fear in his heart became even stronger. He was afraid that evil spirits would kill people at night, as they had been seen on TV, in movies, and in novels.
"No! I can't just sit there and wait for death. Those people who are killed by ghosts in movies are usually killed when they are alone at home."
Wu Qi thought of this critical point, and without further ado, while there was still some light outside, and regardless of the frightened feeling, he opened the bedroom door and ran out.
After putting on his shoes, he did not dare to open the door and go out rashly. Instead, he stood up carefully and put one eye to the peephole.
Someone!
Wu Qi's eyes suddenly widened. Through the cat's eye, he suddenly saw a child standing outside. It seemed to know that he was looking at it, and it slowly raised its head, revealing a pair of blood-red eyes!
It suddenly opened its mouth and smiled at itself !
Xiaofeng's ghost was just outside the door, which completely destroyed his idea of escaping. He fled back to the bedroom again like a lost soul.
"What should I do? What should I do? Calm down. If I think about it calmly, I will definitely find a way."
Wu Qi forced himself to calm down. The ghost was waiting for him outside the door. If he rushed out, he would definitely die without a burial place. But staying at home like this would not avoid anything. Who knew if it would come in to kill him or torture him.
"Call the police. That's the only option left."
Wu Qi had no choice but to put his hope on the police. He walked out of the bedroom trembling and picked up his phone from the living room. After he dropped it, a crack appeared on the screen. He prayed and clicked on the screen. Thank God, the touch screen was still usable.
Swallowing hard, he carefully dialed the police station, but...
"I'm right outside your door! You're dead!!!"
What came out of the phone again was a vicious roar, and along with this roar, Wu Qi's scalp became numb even more.
The door, the door actually opened slowly!
"no no!"
Wu Qi yelled and stumbled into the bedroom. Fortunately the bedroom door could be locked, so maybe he could hold out for a while longer.
"call……"
Wu Qi panted heavily, but after waiting for a while, there was no movement outside the door. But even so, he did not take it lightly , maybe it was trying to trick him into opening the door.
“Wow!”
Just as he was daydreaming, the curtains that were originally opened were suddenly closed, and in an instant, the bedroom fell into absolute darkness.
Faced with this situation, even though Wu Qi was a man, he was frightened and burst into tears:
"Xiao Feng, I was wrong. I was not good at that time. I apologize. Please let me go. I will burn paper money for you every year in the future..."
Wu Qi's crying did not stop the horror. Justice on the curtain was growing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. At this moment, it was standing behind the curtain, staring at him with its blood-red eyes!
"ah--!"
Wu Qi opened the bedroom door and rushed out. He ran to the door desperately and pushed it open without thinking. Unexpectedly... it was standing there! It was smiling at him!
"Help, help..."
Wu Qi, who was left with nowhere to go, finally escaped to the balcony. Behind him, the terrifying figure was walking towards him with a smile.
