On this day, everyone gathered at Luo Guangming's house. Of course, Zhou Feng also came.
"Gu Jin has been killed. If you want to survive, you have to follow our instructions. Well... Listen, first of all, during this time, try to stay away from mirrors and elevators as much as possible. When taking a shower, take a shower as much as possible, because if you If you take a bath, there is a good chance that ghosts will come out of the water. Never go into dark places and stay in public places as much as possible.”
All three of them listened attentively to the precautions that were very similar to those in the past. Zhou Feng didn't really believe this at first, but when Yuezhen told her that Gu Jin was dead, and both he and Guangming said that they had seen the female ghost, they had to believe it was true. At the same time, I also have great expectations for Run An and Ah Jing.
"You don't need to be too nervous before the death time limit is reached." Ah Jing comforted them first, and then said: "Well... once the death date is reached, then I can implement my plan. First, stay in a public place, and then We are in charge of arranging the escape route. If Run An releases his supernatural power, it will somewhat hinder the female ghost, and that is the best time for us to escape!"
Once the pointer crosses midnight, no, it means at the moment of midnight, when the date of death begins, the life of the cursed person is no longer guaranteed, and it is not uncommon to die in the next second. Then, the only way to bring some obstacles to the female ghost is to use the supernatural ability to moisten the darkness. From the analysis of his dispelling the ghost, it probably can make the female ghost temporarily unable to approach the cursed person.
Within twenty-four hours, the most critical moment is midnight at night, which is a critical point from death to life. Before that moment, Run An must reserve supernatural powers, and then he should use all his strength to deal with it. As long as it's past midnight, you've entered a safe period, and you can survive.
Within 24 hours, there are too many variables. And the female ghost will never stand in front of you abruptly and let you deal with her, she will definitely hide in an invisible place, directly invisible to people, and then suddenly attack and kill people. Sometimes, it even makes people disappear directly. With this in mind, protect in an area with no dead spots. Then, first of all, people must be placed to monitor the cursed person, so that no matter where the female ghost comes out, they can be noticed immediately.
This is the best arrangement so far... Ah Jing also knows very well that even if Run An's supernatural ability improves, the possibility of resuscitating them is still very small. Therefore, at the very least, use this opportunity to increase Run An's actual combat experience and let him face ghosts.
Besides that, there is another problem. That is Runli. After much deliberation, Ah Jing still decided to ask Runli to come in person. After all, the determination of the date of death is a matter of life and death, so it must not be careless, and Runli must tell it personally. The current run dark should be able to judge the authenticity of his sister. In this way, it is somewhat safer. Of course, it took a little time to convince Run An.
"I assure you, she only provides time data and will never participate in the task, is that okay? I admit that I have expectations for her supernatural ability, but this is the major premise of our cooperation. Big loser."
After she said that, Run An did understand the importance of Run Li, and agreed after weighing it over and over again.
However, Ah Jing didn't think at that time that she really underestimated the horror of the female ghost in that painting.
Although Gu Jin is dead, but because he lives alone, the body has not been found yet, and this matter has not been told to others. According to Ah Jing's intention, he could not call the police, so he had to let his body stay there temporarily until someone found it. After all, someone might have heard the conversation between Run An and Yue Zhen in their internship unit that day. If they had told the police about Gu Jin, they would have been taken to the police station to assist in the investigation. Once that time happened to be within the date of death, staying in the police station would definitely not help the plan to unfold.
The best way then is... to keep Gu Jin's body as undiscovered as possible. Of course, this can't last long. If you don't go to work, people from the internship unit will probably contact his family. But after all, he's just an intern. If he keeps absent from work, he can just be dismissed at most. Don't worry too much, the school's management is relatively loose , without paying too much attention.
In addition, Ah Jing has already sprinkled a potion that she prepared on his body, which can delay the time for the body to rot and stink for about a week. That way the neighbors wouldn't call the police because of the stench of the dead body. Because he still owed the rent, the landlord might come to him to collect the rent at that time, so Yuezhen paid for it himself and went to the landlord to pay off all the rent in arrears. Because the two are friends, they will not be suspected after doing so. Afterwards, Run An also admired Ah Jing's thoughtfulness, and he never thought that she could make that kind of potion. It seems that there are many treasures in the laboratory underground of her house. She seems to have brought a lot of good things with her.
Because Luo Guangming resigned, he had to stay outside and wander the streets. It counts as being in a "public place". Because it hasn't been his "turn" yet, his life is safe now.
It was from this day that he noticed one thing.
Opposite the apartment where he lives, there is also an apartment less than ten meters away. And in the window of the apartment opposite to his study window, that room seemed to be empty. At first, he didn't pay much attention to it, but... When he came home at night and stood in front of the study window, he discovered that there was light in that window. Someone moved in there
Originally, this was not an uncommon thing. But staying at home alone now, it's crazy to think about it. Driven by curiosity, he stayed by the window and watched.
Because the distance is not far away, and he has good eyesight, he can still see clearly. There seems to be a study in the window, with a desk in front of the window and a bookshelf on the left. And what Luo Guangming cares about is...
Looking from that window, it seems that there is also a row of windows on the right. And the row of windows was drawn with curtains, which was a very common sight, but... He always felt that there was something behind the curtains, because the curtains seemed to be raised. Because the view under the curtain was blocked by the desk, I couldn't see clearly. If there is a person behind the curtain, there is nothing to make a fuss about. But Luo Guangming was always a little uneasy during this special period.
He opened the fourth drawer of the desk and took out a telescope. This telescope has a high-resolution frequency and can adjust the distance. The scene in a window less than ten meters away can naturally be as close as it is in front of your eyes.
From what he could see from that window, he could definitely see... that curtain did bulge! Moreover, the raised silhouette is obviously human!
The hand holding the binoculars trembled slightly, so he had no choice but to comfort himself: Maybe it's the eccentricity of the owner, who likes to hide behind the curtains, it's that simple, right? This explanation makes perfect sense, and even if it's really "she"...you can appear behind the curtains in your own home, so why run to the apartment opposite
Is it like this? Thinking of this, he put down the binoculars and fell asleep.
However, the scene seen through the telescope is always lingering in my mind. And he also thought that if he put Gu Jin's body in his house like this and ignored him, would his ghost also hate him? But there's no other way, it's for survival... I hope he can understand himself...
When I woke up the next day, it was around six in the morning. Ah Jing suggested that he live as usual and not be too anxious. For example, he could consider continuing to submit his resume to other units for internships. After all, this is also a good opportunity to continue to stay in public places. After making the decision, he plans to go online to find out if there are any units that recruit interns, and then submit his resume. At this moment, as if by a strange coincidence, he took out the binoculars again and looked at the room again.
It seems... as long as the person behind the curtain disappears, then he can explain all this as the owner's eccentricity.
but…
The raised figure on the curtain still exists! And the location is exactly the same as yesterday!
The telescope in his hand fell to the ground in an instant, and he didn't respond even when he hurt his feet. Could it be that the person behind the curtain has been standing there since last night? No matter how eccentric, it's not that exaggerated, right
No... There is another explanation. The owner really likes to do such meaningless things, so he got up in the same position early in the morning and hid behind the curtain again. This possibility is not uncommon. But... is that really the case? Even he himself felt a little far-fetched.
So, he didn't think about anything, put on his clothes and ran out, intending to ignore everything and submit his resume first. When he was going out, he deliberately turned his head and glanced at the window of the opposite apartment, and then left.
On the way, he also specially called Ah Jing.
"You mean you saw someone behind the curtain? Got it, do you know what room it is? I have a master key, so I can help you look."
Hearing Ah Jing's words, Luo Guangming was very grateful, completely put aside the matter of her holding him with a knife before, and thanked him again and again.
Run Li will come back in the afternoon, so Run An and Ah Jing have already come to the apartment first.
"By the way, don't you have to go to work? Remember you said you were an illustrator?"
"Yeah, I did illustrations for Zuo Ziyue's novels, because she doesn't have any new works recently, so I don't have any work for the time being. I have always had the habit of saving money, and I also said that I am not interested in investing, so I also I have never speculated in stocks, and the money is basically enough. And even if I am short of money, I can help some pharmacies to prepare medicines to get paid, after all, I have spent a lot of time learning to make medicines in the past three years."
"The chemical knowledge of medicine is... such as formulas, how do you learn it?"
"It's nothing complicated. Most of them collect some plants, study their structure and composition, and then conduct experiments on various animals. After choosing the appropriate formula, pay attention to the composition and determine the chemical characteristics. Of course, this requires Time and money. I don't care about time, money was an issue at first. Fortunately, my father sent me some money as my initial budget. As for how to spend money, I think he wanted me to decide. I roughly It is estimated from the Internet how his money came from, after all, there are too many ways for a predictor like my father to make money."
It seems that Ah Jing's father is testing her. Let her learn not to rely on others when she is alone, find out the most appropriate way of survival, and mature in the shortest possible time.
"My father only provided me with the materials, and I have to work hard on how to make the finished product. I don't dislike his approach, which may be the best for me. He has been burdened with the fate of an unlucky son since he was a child, so he has always been I am very independent, and he wants to use the same method to help me grow up. Although I have been lonely in the past three years, I can persist when I think of my father watching me somewhere and looking forward to my growth. All of this is just to survive."
At this moment, Run An deeply understands why Ah Jing can give him a unique feeling, and her perseverance also gives Run An great encouragement.
No matter what, we must live on!
The two asked the administrator of the apartment about the room in advance. According to the administrator, it has been vacant since three years ago, and no one has lived there yet.
Hearing this, the two naturally understood what was going on.
Of course, you can't take the elevator, otherwise you will be forcing ghosts to come to see them. However, when walking up the stairs, it also feels full of heart palpitations. Although it is daytime now, the empty corridor can still give people infinite reverie. Both Run An and Ah Jing tiptoed up step by step, Run An's palms were already soaked in sweat. After all, this is the first time he has faced a ghost directly, and when he goes in... what will happen
"Listen well... Our purpose is not to kill 'her'... Not to mention you, even my father, it is impossible to do this." Ah Jing was also very nervous at the moment, but she still pretended to be calm Instruct Run An: "Our purpose is to test the opponent's reality. After all, if you know yourself and the enemy, you can win a hundred battles. If you don't understand the enemy's words, it will be very disadvantageous to us."
The study room in question was in Room 401, and it took them about 20 minutes to walk up the stairs on the fourth floor. Not only because it is too slow when walking, but also because, every time you reach a new floor, you will stay in place for a long time before you dare to continue walking.
Finally came to gate 401.
"Running... Listen, when I insert the key into the lock, don't release the supernatural ability, otherwise you will startle the snake. After entering, we must remain vigilant at all times. When facing 'her' directly, do not Don't be afraid, because she is not the ghost that will kill you in your curse. What you have to do is to release the supernatural power as much as possible, and if the situation is not right, run away immediately. Don't worry, I have plenty of ways to ensure that we can escape .”
Method? Does she have any potions that can make the soles of her feet windy? That's not impossible either. Hearing what she said, Run An felt much relieved. Then, Ah Jing took out the master key and opened the door.
Indeed, as the administrator said, as soon as you enter the door, you know that it has been abandoned for a long time, not to mention the dust and cobwebs on the walls, just the empty room can prove this. Then, the two leaned close to each other, keeping an eye on their surroundings at all times.
According to Ah Jing's instructions, Run An didn't emit supernatural powers out of his body, but he could clearly feel that there was definitely something in this room. Although the sun was shining brightly outside at the moment, the sense of fear did not diminish in the slightest. If Ah Jing wasn't with him, he really couldn't stay any longer.
The two of them were almost shoulder to shoulder, and moved step by step to the room facing the opposite apartment. To tell the truth, although both of them have realized, this suffocating atmosphere is too depressing, as if the female ghost will jump out of the door at any time. In fact, if it really came out, it would not be scary, but the current situation is even more terrifying. Intangible enemies are far more terrifying than tangible enemies.
It took the two of them nearly a minute and a half to move to the door of the room, which could have been completed in five or six steps. When I walked in, I saw brown curtains that were pulled up, but there were no bookshelves or desks in this room! And obviously, there was no one behind the curtain at all.
"Did Luo Guangming read it wrong?"
After letting out a sigh of relief, Run An walked over and opened the curtains. As expected, there was only one window behind, and there was nothing else. Behind this window was another room, smaller. Overall... It seems that the female ghost is not here.
But what was that feeling just now? Could it be an illusion
However, at this moment... there were slight footsteps outside this room. Immediately there was a loud bang, and the entrance door was closed!
Ah Jing rushed out immediately, but there was still no one outside. She ran to the entrance and wanted to open the door again, but found that the master key couldn't open it either.
The footsteps just now... What the hell is...
At this moment, Ah Jing suddenly discovered...a few strands of hair on the floor of the entrance! Judging from the length, it definitely belongs to women!
