Volume 4: Return of the Dead Chapter 0096 Planning
After meeting again after a long separation, Lao Gao was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he told Qu Ying about their current situation in the form of reminiscing about the past.
"Don't be ridiculous. Xiaofeng's ghost came back for revenge? This is too ridiculous."
Qu Ying shook her long hair that fell on her shoulders and felt both amused and confused by Lao Gao's story.
Lao Gao knew that ordinary people would not believe such things, so he shook his head indifferently and explained patiently:
"Listen, what I just said is not a joke, but it really happened. Xiaofeng's ghost is killing people wantonly. Xiaoshuang, the death of an indefinite term is the best proof.
Do you think anyone would commit suicide? So you have to believe me now."
Qu Ying looked at Lao Gao in confusion and sighed:
"Ajun, I think you are too tired. You should take a break and have a good rest. I really can't understand what you said."
The atmosphere suddenly became tense. Lao Gao took a sip of water and then slowly put down the cup.
"Then why do you think I was in such a hurry to find you? Do you think it was just to reminisce about the past? Besides, you also know my job. I know a lot of things that ordinary people like you cannot know. Do you think that the things that exist in this world are only those reported on TV? You are not a child now. You should understand the country's political cover-up."
Qu Ying's fingers tapped lightly on the table unconsciously, seemingly pondering the truth of these words. Soon, she turned around and asked Lao Gao uncertainly again:
"Are there really ghosts in the world?"
"That's right." Lao Gao nodded without denying it.
"Assuming that what you said is true, then let me ask you, what should we do? Didn't you say before that ghosts are immortal and have many terrifying abilities? Doesn't that mean we are doomed?"
Qu Ying's tone was not very good this time. After all, all this was like listening to a foreign language to her, so it was normal for her to feel confused.
At this time, Lao Gao stood up from the sofa and walked to Qu Ying's side:
"Don't be too pessimistic. Even though we can't kill it, it doesn't mean we will be killed by it. In fact, there is an invisible rule in this world, and all ghosts must be within the constraints of the rule.
Usually, the appearance of a fierce ghost represents revenge, and it can directly kill the person who killed it. This is the instinct of a fierce ghost, and most of them will kill people directly to quell their own resentment.
This kind of evil ghost is not intelligent and only knows how to kill people to eliminate its resentment.
And from the fact that Xiaofeng didn't just kill us all at once, it must have a certain level of intelligence, so it to kill us while torturing us. But in my opinion, its behavior is more like giving us a chance, a chance to help it soothe its grievances."
Qu Ying still felt confused about what Lao Gao said, but she understood a little bit, which was to find a way to appease Xiao Feng's resentment.
In fact, they also owed Xiaofeng an explanation. They all lied back then. It was clearly them who tricked Xiaofeng into the cement pipe, but no one dared to admit it. Afterwards, no one went to pay respects at Xiaofeng's grave. Over time, they completely forgot about Xiaofeng and this incident.
"I think I understand."
Qu Ying suddenly said at this time, she turned off the buzzing computer case with her lowered hand, and then stood up from her chair:
"Let's go and ask some monks and Taoist priests to perform a ritual for Xiao Feng. Regardless of whether what you said is true or not, we owe it an explanation for all these years. Let's find its grave and pay homage to it!"
Lao Gao didn't have a good solution at the moment. After all, the evil spirit was looking for them to pay for their lives. If there really was a cycle of cause and effect in the world, then they were obviously part of this cycle and could not escape it no matter what. So he could only think positively about this matter and think about resolving this cause and effect in other ways.
He remembered that Xiaofeng's tomb was in Qingfeng County, but this was Yuanbin City, where the incident happened, and they couldn't rush to other cities. But Qu Ying insisted on looking for it, and in order to convince her completely, Lao Gao had no choice but to accompany her.
From a realistic perspective, Qingfeng County is about seven hours' drive from Yuanbin City, and about four hours if you take the highway. In order to get there as quickly as possible, Qu Ying planned to order two bus tickets online, but unfortunately, the bus tickets had already been snapped up.
As a last resort, she had to book two train tickets instead, but... the train tickets were also sold out.
"It can't be such a coincidence, right?"
Qu Ying grumbled in disbelief and hurriedly called to ask for help. But when she asked, she got another shocking news. All the roads from Yuanbin City to Qingfeng County were collapsed by the heavy rain a few days ago and are currently under emergency repair. At this stage, the roads are impassable for both trains and cars.
"It's really weird. All other roads are passable, but the road to Qingfeng County is not passable!"
Speaking of seeing ghosts, Qu Ying quickly covered her mouth and looked at Lao Gao opposite her nervously.
Lao Gao had expected this situation to happen. Not to mention going to Qingfeng County, it was impossible to go even a millimeter beyond this city. In this curse, all places where the incident occurred were closed, and everyone would give up going out for various reasons and stay in their original places with peace of mind.
When he experienced reincarnation for the first time, he tried to escape from the place where the incident happened, but after driving desperately for a whole day, he found that he was back to the original place and could not leave at all.
Besides him, he had seen other people trying to escape, but the result was always the same, returning to the starting point.
He didn't know what was going on, why the supernatural power separated a city and put it back after the incident was over. It felt like they didn't want to involve too many people, or they wanted to keep the incident hidden as much as possible.
"There's no waterway from here to Qingfeng County, how about we go to a nearby city and drive back?"
Qu Ying still didn't give up, and Lao Gao didn't stop her. He just let her do as much as possible. She would soon realize the weirdness in it.
After another long and fruitless struggle, Qu Ying, still unwilling to give up, set her sights on Lao Gao:
"Why don't we drive to Qingfeng County by ourselves? Even if the road is blocked, I think they will let you pass. After all, you have a military identity, and I'm sure they won't dare to stop you."
"Okay, you are responsible for borrowing the car and I am responsible for driving it."
Lao Gao agreed readily because it would not only make Qu Ying give up, but also make her completely believe what he said.
Before leaving, Lao Gao fulfilled his previous agreement with Xiao Mo and told him the news of finding Qu Ying.
