Tangning didn't want to call someone so embarrassing. He thought for a moment and used Mo Yunchu as an excuse, "I already have a boyfriend."
Mo Yunchu's presence seemed to have a great killing power on Lu Yingxing. Lu Yingxing, who was originally still talking glibly, angrily opened a piece of chocolate after hearing this, "Okay, okay, I know you have Mo Yunchu."
After eating the chocolate, Lu Yingxing took out a pinhole camera from his backpack and ran to install it. The villa was very large, and it was difficult to find a hidden doll in the villa.
Lu Yingxing searched the entire villa but found nothing. Finally, he came to the basement of the villa and stood at the door of the first room. "It's locked. Tangning, do you have the key?"
Tang Ning shook his head, and then he saw Lu Yingxing take out a set of lock picking tools from his backpack.
"Wait, don't open it." Tangning said hurriedly, "I promised Mo Yunchu not to go into the basement."
"It's okay to sneak in." Lu Yingxing said as he tried to continue unlocking the door.
"No, I promised him." Tang Ning didn't want to anger Mo Yunchu. His biggest support in this instance was Mo Yunchu.
Tang Ning still remembered the Princess and the Pea card he had drawn before entering the game. The first setting was that he was frail and delicate, which had already been verified on his body. The second setting was to attract a prince, and Mo Yunchu should be the prince who would protect him.
The princess is always with the prince, and it makes sense that he and Mo Yunchu are a couple.
"Tsk." Lu Yingxing stuffed the tools back into his backpack and took out his phone to answer a call. He could not tell what was said on the other end of the line. Lu Yingxing's expression gradually became serious. After a while, he hung up the phone and looked at Tangning, asking seriously, "Tangning, are you sure you are not kidding me?"
"The only thing that came through here last night was a hearse."
Tangning said in disbelief, "What did you say?!"
Lu Yingxing examined Tangning's expression and confirmed that she was not lying. Then he frowned and said, "Come on, let's go to the funeral home."
Lu Yingxing drove here by himself, while Tang Ning sat in the passenger seat. He didn't dare to look at the scenery along the way when he came last night, but he saw some strange scenes in broad daylight today. In addition to the villa area near the cemetery, there are three or four residential areas. These residential areas are all high-rise buildings without exception. There are no shopping malls near the residential areas. The most common shops are wreath shops, funeral clothing shops, and coffin shops.
Tangning originally thought that broad daylight would give him courage. He glanced out the car window for a few seconds before silently turning his head back, "Lu Yingxing, why are there so many stores outside these communities?"
Lu Yingxing said casually, "You don't know? There are at least hundreds of memorial tablets in the community we just passed. These are people from other provinces who come to buy houses and place urns there. Only by opening these stores can we have business."
Tangning uttered a dry "oh".
The funeral home was not far away. Lu Yingxing took Tang Ning out of the car. The funeral home was planted with lush trees, but it did not feel full of life. Instead, it had an indescribable coldness.
A middle-aged man with a friendly look was standing at the door of the funeral home. When he saw Lu Yingxing, he immediately came up to him and asked politely, "Mr. Lu, what are you doing here today?"
"It's nothing serious. I just want to ask if there was any hearse working the night shift at your funeral home last night." Lu Yingxing whispered.
"We did receive a batch of patients from the city hospital last night."
"How many are there?" Lu Yingxing asked.
This question was a bit strange. The man was stunned for a moment before he said, "I have to check this out. Mr. Lu, please come to my office and sit down first."
When they arrived at the office, the man poured a cup of tea for Lu Yingxing and Tangning, "Five."
Lu Yingxing and Tang Ning looked at each other after hearing this. In addition to Tang Ning, Mo Yunchu and the ghost baby, there were exactly five passengers in the car last night.
"Are all five of them adults?" Lu Yingxing asked.
"right."
"Did the driver meet any passers-by on the way last night?"
The man smiled and said, "Mr. Lu, what are you talking about? Drivers have an unspoken rule when traveling in the middle of the night. They will never pick up people who get on the bus midway. Lao Liu is an experienced driver. It is impossible for him to break this rule."
Finally, Lu Yingxing took Tang Ning to see the hearse. It looked like a short-distance bus that had been eliminated a few years ago, but there was a very obvious funeral home logo on the body of the bus.
Tang Ning's face turned pale.
He recognized the body of the bus; it was the haunted bus he took yesterday!
"I have something to talk to Lao Liu about now. Can you ask him to come out and talk to me?" Lu Yingxing asked.
"Old Liu is sick today. I can't get through to him even after he took leave. I'll give you his address and phone number." The middle-aged man wrote down an address and phone number for Lu Yingxing, then warmly saw Tang Ning and Lu Yingxing off.
Tang Ning called the number, but no one answered.
After getting back in the car, Lu Yingxing frowned and asked, "Tangning, why did you take that car last night?"
Tang Ning also wanted to know why the "Tang Ning" in this copy did this. He asked the system, but the system ignored him.
Tang Ning said a little aggrievedly: Why do you always ignore me
The male voice that had remained silent finally spoke: The system cannot reveal too much information to the players.
oh.
"Lu Yingxing, I don't remember either..." Tang Ning didn't know how to explain, so she could only lie clumsily. His eyelashes were trembling, and his black eyes were clear and bright, clean and fragile, making people reluctant to question him.
"You don't remember, but Mo Yunchu must remember." His slender fingers kept tapping the reverse disk, and Lu Yingxing narrowed his eyes: "You said before that when you got in the car, Mo Yunchu was already in the car."
"If you have a chance, go ask Mo Yunchu why he took that car. Don't act so scared when the time comes." Lu Yingxing pinched Tangning's cheek. Tangning's skin was plump and white, smooth and soft. A light pinch of his fingers would leave a red mark. The touch was so good that Lu Yingxing was reluctant to let go. "Tsk, what if he gets hard?"
Tangning's eyes widened, unable to put Lu Yingxing's vulgar words together with Mo Yunchu's gentleness and consideration, "Don't talk like that..."
Lu Yingxing smiled when he heard this, "Tangning, you don't really think Mo Yunchu is a good person, do you?"
Tang Ning, whose face was mostly covered by his hand, looked at him in confusion and anxiety. Lu Yingxing touched Tang Ning's face and said, "If you want to climb up the social ladder, choose me. Although I'm not as high as Mo Yunchu, at least you won't be smashed to pieces when you turn around and try to escape."
Tang Ning didn't understand why Lu Yingxing said that, but Lu Yingxing didn't explain anything further.
According to the address, Lu Yingxing drove into the residential area they passed at the beginning. The residential area with at least several hundred memorial tablets was where the driver Lao Liu lived.
The car parked in the empty underground garage. Lu Yingxing and Tang Ning walked towards the elevator. However, they came at an unlucky time this time as the elevator was under maintenance. Lao Liu lived on the fourth floor, so it seemed that he could only go up by stairs.
The staircase here was very narrow, and it was a bit crowded for two adult men to walk side by side. Lu Yingxing walked in front, and Tang Ning was one step behind. Although it was daytime, the corridor was very dark and there were no sensor lights. Footsteps could be heard with every step.
Tang Ning heard Lu Yingxing's footsteps, steady and powerful, followed closely by a series of light footsteps that seemed to be Tang Ning's own. But when Tang Ning stopped walking because she was tired, the light footsteps were still ringing in the corridor.
It's a very soft sound, and you won't notice it unless you listen carefully.
Tang Ning was stunned and called out "Lu Yingxing".
Lu Yingxing stopped walking and looked back at Tang Ning. His light footsteps also stopped, and he seemed to be standing in the shadows and looking at Tang Ning.
"What's wrong?" Lu Yingxing asked casually, "Are you tired from walking? Do you need me to carry you?"
Tangning wanted to ask Lu Yingxing if he heard the footsteps, but he was afraid that his voice would alarm the creature. He also suspected that he was hallucinating because he was too nervous. "Nothing."
Lu Yingxing continued to walk forward, and his footsteps could be heard again in the empty corridor.
Then, the sound of light footsteps was heard again.
It seemed as if an invisible presence was creeping up the stairs.
Tang Ning stood there motionless. This time he was sure he wasn't hallucinating. He shouted loudly, "Lu Yingxing!"
However, a strange thing happened. Lu Yingxing walked forward as if he didn't hear Tang Ning calling him at all. He walked steadily to the corner of the stairs on the third floor.
"Lu Yingxing!" Tang Ning shouted as he ran up. When he reached the corner of the stairs, he could no longer see Lu Yingxing.
Have you gone to the fourth floor
But how could Lu Yingxing walk so fast and disappear from sight in an instant
Tang Ning stood trembling at the corner of the third floor. In the dead silence and darkness, he seemed to be able to hear his own rapid breathing and heartbeat. Tang Ning took out his cell phone from his pocket with shaking hands, but found that the phone showed no signal.
Damn it!
It happens again!!!
Tangning tightly grasped his phone, not knowing what to do now. Should he chase after the driver, Lao Liu, upstairs to his residence, or go downstairs and leave the neighborhood? !
If he goes downstairs alone, he might run into that ghost thing, and if he goes upstairs alone, he will probably run into ghosts everywhere. If he runs upstairs, he might be able to reunite with Lu Yingxing. Besides, Lu Yingxing came here to help him, so he shouldn't leave Lu Yingxing alone and run away.
Thinking of this, Tang Ning gritted his teeth and walked forward with his weak legs. In the darkness, Tang Ning turned on the flashlight on his phone, and the beam of light illuminated the darkness. Tang Ning carefully illuminated the next step with each step he took.
At the entrance to the fourth floor, the flashlight illuminated a pair of feet.
Those were feet wearing sneakers, and above them was a set of sportswear. Lu Yingxing was standing at the entrance of the fourth floor, quietly looking down at Tang Ning.
"Lu Yingxing!" Tangning shouted excitedly.
He was so happy!
Lu Yingxing also smiled.
Lu Yingxing was a person who loved to laugh. Although they had only spent half a day together, Tang Ning remembered the way Lu Yingxing laughed. It was a bright smile with two fangs showing.
Under the beam of the flashlight, Lu Yingxing's smile looked very stiff, and there was a weird feeling that he was smiling on the outside but not on the inside.
Tangning's smile froze. He stopped and moved the flashlight from Lu Yingxing's face to his feet. Under the bright light -
He had never seen Lu Yingxing's shadow.
