Zhu Sunling stood up quickly, looked at the waiter, and asked, "Do you have surveillance cameras here?"
"There is no such thing." The waiter shook his head: "Our business has not been good, and we have to keep maintaining that thing..."
Then Zhu Sunling looked at the two waiters at the same time and said, "Listen well, no matter who asks later, you can't tell that we and the drunkard just came here."
Zhu Sunling can only erase the memory of the time when the order was given, so she cannot let the two of them tell anyone that they have been here. After the alcoholic disappeared, once the family members called the police and the police investigated this, it would be troublesome. Zhu Sunling didn't want her to be taken to the police station for interrogation during the exam.
Gao Ying walked up, stomped out the cigarette on the ground, and looked around vigilantly.
Did Zhang Qiang disappear here? However, Gao Ying has no doubts about how he disappeared. Obviously, the drunkard just now wanted to provide them with important information, and that information might be an important clue to solve the problem. So... he will disappear. It's a pity that the drunkard hardly uttered any valuable clues and just died like this.
"Clean up the wine glasses and bottles on the table..." Zhu Sunling continued to order the waiter: "Everything we touched must be wiped carefully, and fingerprints must not be left."
Then Zhu Sunling thought of something again, and asked a question: "Did this drunkard come here during the day?"
Both shook their heads. Gao Ying immediately understood that Zhu Sunling asked this question because she was wondering whether Zhang Qiang's disappearance was because he met a drunkard during the day and talked about the same problem. However, that does not appear to be the case. As for this drunkard, after questioning, he didn't come here often before. After all, this is a coffee shop, not a bar. He probably wandered here because he was drunk today.
After everything was arranged, Gao Ying and Zhu Sunling left the coffee shop quickly.
"Going somewhere else? Or take a break first?" Gao Ying asked Zhu Sunling with concern while holding a map.
The latter did not show the slightest fear or annoyance, as if everything was in her expectation.
"Zhang Qiang didn't disappear here," Zhu Sunling said while unlocking the bicycle with the key. "If the memories of the two waiters have not been tampered with. In any case, we have to go to other places to confirm."
"I see..." Gao Ying also unlocked the bicycle, and looked back at the coffee shop not far away, "Is the devil behind the scenes... already entrenched in that town, or... has been following us all the time? "
After saying these words, the surrounding air seemed to be filled with chill.
Is the devil with them now
Gao Ying couldn't be sure whether he didn't have the mental power to detect devils like Dong Xie and Agnes. It is true that the devil can't hurt them now, but when the exam starts and the exam papers are in their hands, everything will not be guaranteed.
At this time, a gust of wind blew and shook the surrounding grass, and Zhu Sunling's long black hair fluttered in the wind.
"Let's go." Zhu Sunling sat on the bicycle without changing his face, and then started riding with Gao Ying.
Next, the places the two went to were not so remote, they were all bustling bars, game halls and other places where people gathered more. However, there was nothing special after that.
It's past ten o'clock.
Gao Ying and Zhu Sunling finally walked out from the last bar. After asking all the way, people everywhere remembered the delinquents, including Zhang Qiang.
"When did Zhang Qiang disappear? There is still no conclusion." Gao Ying walked out of the bar, looked behind him, and suddenly said, "No... In fact, there is another possibility. That is, Zhang Qiang didn't disappear, but..."
"But what?" Zhu Sunling also thought of a possibility, and she wanted to know if she and Gao Ying thought of the same thing.
Gao Ying held the mobile phone and continued: "For example... Zhang Qiang died at a certain time, but after his death, he still followed those bad boys...so in fact, the memories of those bad boys have not been tampered with... just ordered After they finished, Zhang Qiang's devil left them after they went home."
At this time, it was already very late. There are fewer and fewer people on the streets of the town. And here, it is already the edge of the town, and if you go further away, there will be basically no people.
In a place haunted by devils, and such a remote place, Gao Ying still felt quite uneasy even under the current absolute safety conditions.
"Let's go back first. While it's a safe time, let's have a good sleep and rest."
Zhu Sunling looked at the darkening sky and knew that it would be difficult to find more clues today. Overall, there is still not much to gain after all. After finally getting in, the safe time is getting less and less, all she can do... is go back to sleep
Can you use the limited time to do more things? You know, the absolutely safe time in the exam scene is too rare.
However, although this small town is said to be small, compared to this exam, it is still quite large. If you get the test paper, you can learn a lot of information about the test questions, but without the test paper, it is really useless.
"I understand what you think. But we are all tired now, Zhu Sunling." Gao Ying still insisted on going back first: "We must maintain sufficient physical strength and have a good rest. We have a tough battle to fight tomorrow, and we are too exhausted now. It will be troublesome when you are in danger. Go back and rest first, it will be very difficult to sleep well when the exam starts."
Just when Gao Ying said this, he suddenly noticed that it was about twenty meters ahead. There was a man walking in the depths of the woods.
There was nothing unusual about that person himself, but... in Gao Ying's perception, this person was definitely... not a living person!
Soon, the figure of the man was gradually hidden by the dense bushes.
"Zhu Sunling..." Gao Ying immediately pointed to the depths of the woods and said, "I have to take back my words."
He pointed to the front of the woods and said, "We have to go there and see."
That person, even a devil, can't do any harm to them at this stage. So, now is the perfect time!
The two rode bicycles into the depths of the dense forest.
And it just so happened... The ground here was quite muddy, and soon Gao Ying found the new footprints left by that person.
The two followed the footprints and continued to move forward.
"Your ability is quite useful in this respect." Zhu Sunling said: "However... it also has its limitations."
"Sometimes when the devil is stronger, it may not be easy to use. It depends on luck."
The two kept riding forward, but they never saw anyone again. Passing through the dense forest, the two immediately saw a hospital not far away. "The First Hospital of Lanwan Township" is written on the entrance of the hospital.
The hospital occupies a relatively small area, and looking inside, the front of the outpatient building is almost full of garbage, and the glass is also broken in many places. It looks... It seems to be an abandoned hospital.
And the muddy footprints extended to the inside of the hospital, all the way to the gate of the outpatient building.
"What a bad memory..." Gao Ying immediately remembered the memory of entering the old teaching building in Chenglie High School to explore. Do you have to do it again today
But this time it's different... Now the devil can't hurt them. Go in now, and you will definitely be able to collect information. When I get the exam papers tomorrow, the information I got now will be useful immediately.
only…
"It always feels like a trap." Gao Ying glanced at Zhu Sunling: "Or, we can wait until tomorrow during the daytime."
"Devils don't come out at night or day." Gao Ying suddenly thought, is it possible for Zhu Sunling to let those bad boys who abuse cats go inside to find the way like Agnes did? Then pass the information through the mobile phone
But obviously, Zhu Sunling did not consider this point. For her, killing is a choice that can only be made under the best plan. Right now, this is obviously not the most efficient solution. The devil won't kill them, but he can easily kill those bad boys. If the devil doesn't want them to get information, he can kill them as easily as he killed the drunkard.
In fact, she heard Gao Ying mention the Chenglie high school exam, and she also knew what Agnes did, but she sneered at it. Not only because Agnes disregarded human life, but also because it was inefficient. The devil kills people other than candidates, there is no frequency of killing, and the preferential time for solving problems is given. Even dozens of people can be killed instantly. It is meaningless to use them as a shield. Facts have proved that this approach of Agnes has no practical effect at all, and it is a complete waste of the lives of those people.
For Zhu Sunling, as long as there are better options, she will never choose to sacrifice the lives of so many innocent people. In the case of Zhang Qiang, the order was issued when he himself abused the cat and Zhu Sunling conducted a risk assessment. She just longs for immortality, but she is not an antisocial personality, let alone a murderer. She can't feel at ease after killing so many people. After all, she knows better than anyone else that death is the end of all life.
"Let's go in." Zhu Sunling quickly made a decision: "Yes, it may be a trap, but it doesn't matter, the devil can't kill us now, and we will send it to the candidates as soon as the exam time comes tomorrow. Since the risk It’s not too big to bear, so naturally we should try our best.”
So, the two of them walked in.
On the ground, there is garbage everywhere, and the surrounding green belt is also dirty and messy. Looking at it this way, this place seems to have been abandoned for a long time.
The gate of the hospital is just around the corner...
