There was no sound in the receiver, just like in the opening CG, just the hissing of the wiring.
The other side didn't speak, and Xiao Li didn't make a sound either, and hung up the phone three seconds later.
Rodian sat on the arm of the sofa beside him: "How is it?"
"As you said, no one spoke." Xiao Li spread his hands towards her.
Ye Zeqing took out his mobile phone and put it on the table: "So you just hung up like this? This doesn't fit your character. I thought you would be more... more out of line."
It’s like looking for seafood on a water ghost—Ye Zeqing thought to himself, but even Xiao Li can’t seem to be able to do anything to a phone ghost.
Xiao Li pushed Ye Zeqing's head away: "There is no answer from the ghost on the other side, what can I say."
As they talked one by one, the question went farther and farther, and Rodian interjected uneasily: "This is only the first time to answer the phone, and it is not until the third time that the curse erupts."
Xiao Li's attention was taken away from Ye Zeqing, he thought for a moment and asked Luo Dian, "This is your third time answering the phone?"
"Yes, now the plot character Xu Chenfeng is on the sixth day after receiving the call from the ghost, and we are on the third day." Luo Dian said and raised the sleeve tube on his arm. On the girl's smooth and fair arm, there was an impressive engraving. One number: 82.
This number is like a tattoo carved into the skin, which cannot be wiped off, but is firmly branded on the arm.
"This is your tattoo?" Ye Zeqing asked.
Han Jin also picked up the clothes with Rodian, and there was also a number on his arm, but it was a little less than Rodian's number, his number was "80".
Ye Zeqing: "The same tattoo? A token of love between the two of you?"
Xiao Li took Rodian's arm and looked at it carefully: "... Countdown?"
"Yes," Rodian pressed his finger on the skin engraved with the numbers, the skin dented, but the numbers flowed like life, "I found it after the third ghost call, At first it was 96, then it became 95, 94... At first I didn't realize what it was, until everyone answered the call and there were numbers like this, and it decreased by one number every hour. , this is the countdown to our lives, and if we can't find a solution to the phone ghost curse, we'll just have to wait for the numbers to go back to zero and die."
"If you want to solve the curse of the phone ghost, you have to start from the phone ghost itself." Xiao Li observed the countdown of the numbers on the girl's arm up close, "You can start with the phone number, or you can start with the plot character Xu Chenfeng."
At this time, Xiao Li noticed that the pocket in which he put Xiao Huangben vibrated twice, but he was in no mood to care about it now, still thinking about the curse of the ghost call, he asked again: "What is your mission this time?"
At this time, Rodian couldn't care about the difference between men and women. She replied: "Regular tasks, survival for more than seven days, or successful removal of the curse can return to reality."
Xiao Li: "That is to say, there is a way to delay the curse, or even lift it directly."
"Yes, we approached Xu Chenfeng at first, pretending to be the neighbor who just moved in across from her. We started with the phone number, but we couldn't find the corresponding phone number no matter what, so our teammates started with her school."
"She is a student of the Dance Academy, and a dance teacher did die in her school a few days ago. At that time, we thought we had found a clue, but after investigation, we found that the dance teacher was simply killed in a car accident at the school gate and crossed the road after school. I didn't look at the car at the time, and was busy talking to my boyfriend on the phone and was hit by a car. Xiaoqing, one of our teammates, sneaked into the teaching team to inquire, but didn't find anything. Everyone said that the dance teacher was living a good life. , I have a good relationship with my boyfriend, and I plan to buy a house and a car. When Han Jin went to her boyfriend at that time, he also looked very sad, his eyes were red, and everything was in line with common sense."
"At that time, I spent all my energy on the curse of the phone ghost, thinking that there was no danger in the school. As a result, Xiaoqing went to teach the students that day and didn't come back. The other two teammates went to her and ran into the ghost in the school. It took several props to escape, but on the way back, it was wiped out by a curse."
Hearing this, Ye Zeqing stretched out his hand to stop: "Wait, why did they get wiped out by a curse?"
"The two of them were the first among us to receive a call from a ghost. I asked the police to adjust the monitoring of the intersection. They seemed to be controlled by some kind of cursed force. They answered a phone call on the edge of the intersection and then walked towards In the middle of the traffic, there was a car that didn't have time to avoid it..."
Xiao Li asked the other party in detail: "The ghost in the school, what clues do you have here?"
"The three of them have always been in charge of investigating things in the school. I don't know the specifics." Rodian bit his lip.
When Xiao Li heard this, he looked up at the clock that was nearly 1 a.m. He stood up from the sofa, turned to Luo and Han, and said, "I know the general situation. I'll visit her school tomorrow."
Due to the existence of the countdown to life, time is very precious for Rodian and the two. She can't wait to directly grab Xiao Li and Ye Zeqing and go to the school to find out the truth without a moment's delay, but the night is the time when ghosts are the most rampant. For the sake of safety, going the next day is the safest choice.
"Then now...?" Han Jin asked.
The most important thing right now," Xiao Li looked at him seriously, "I think it's to get some food. "
In addition to the king crab presented by the water ghost at noon, Xiao Li only ate the chocolate from the kitten at night, and now his hungry stomach is aching.
Han Jin: "..."
"What do you have to eat here?" Ye Zeqing had already gone to the kitchen to rummage through the food.
"There's no food. This is a house we rented temporarily. We ordered takeout before." Rodian followed Ye Zeqing.
In fact, the two of them didn't eat at night, and the countdown to life was like the sword of Damocles hanging over their heads, so they couldn't eat.
In the end, Ye Zeqing dug out a few apples from the basket and handed one to Xiao Li: "Nothing else, just this."
Xiao Li took two bites of the apple and walked into the bedroom separately from Ye Zeqing.
In the dim light of the bedroom, Xiao Li took off his jacket while nibbling on an apple, and by the way, took out the small yellow book from his pocket.
Xiao Huang is like a repeater, and he vibrates Biaohong with one sentence back and forth: [Let go of her hand.]
[Let go of her hand.]
[Two minutes to hold.]
[three minutes…]
[You can read numbers from a distance, why do you have to hold hands and look at such a close distance?]
Xiao Li took out the water pen, put Xiao Huangben on his knee, and wrote: "The texture cannot be seen from a distance."
Xiao Huangben: [?]
[What texture?]
Xiao Li: "The texture of the numbers, it looks like living, not dead."
Xiao Huangben: [If you want to read it so much, I can also let you see it. I write it on my face, and I will write whatever number you want.]
[… Or it’s okay not to have a face, just write it on the abs?]
[You held hands with her for three minutes, and I want you to watch me for nine minutes.]
Xiao Li: "...You don't use the question to play."
—And he faintly felt that the body part that Xiao Huangben wanted to talk about the most should not be the abdominal muscles...
Xiao Huangben is a little aggrieved: [I don't, I'm just not very happy.]
[I want you to look at me.]
[If you are very focused when you look at me, I will react; if you are not focused, I will also react.]
[Of course, when you look at me, I also look at you, and I can look at you for a long time.]
Xiao Li: "..."
Xiao Li bit the pen and chatted with Xiao Huangben for a while. It was too late and he was a little sleepy. His head gradually shifted to the outside. Before he had time to turn off the light, Xiao Huangben and the pen's eyelids drooped down.
But when Xiao Li rolled over to the outside and saw that his forehead was about to hit the head of the bed, a silent sigh sounded in the room - at the moment when the sound sounded, Xiao Li's shadow that had been imprinted on the wall moved.
Shadow's hand rested on the hard head of the bed, supported Xiao Li's forehead, and gently put him back on the bed.
—
the next day.
Ye Zeqing got up very early, just before dawn, he got up from the bed neatly dressed, because he was too hungry - Xiao Li and the kitten's chocolate, but he had nothing.
But as a strong man (self-proclaimed), last night was fine. In broad daylight, he couldn't directly say that he was hungry, which would be out of character.
Therefore, when Xiao Li woke up and went out, Ye Zeqing was leaning against the door with a concave shape, and greeted him with a deep profile: "You're up."
Xiao Li glanced at him coldly, but said nothing.
"I also received the first call from a ghost last night." Ye Zeqing followed behind him with his pockets in his pockets, watching him walk out the door, and behind the two of them, Luo Dian and others also followed, "I didn't notice it at first. Any ghostly breath, only after the phone rang, did I sense that resentment."
"Very strong, even more resentful than the previous water ghosts." Ye Zeqing restrained his smile and said sternly, "I tried to track it down, but as soon as I hung up the phone, it disappeared without a trace, with no clue at all. ."
Xiao Li took out his mobile phone from his pocket and shook it at him: "I also received a second call from a ghost, in the morning, before going out."
After hearing this, Rodian couldn't help catching up and asked: "We all received calls at 0:00 the next day, and we call once a day. Is it because you are the interveners?"
Xiao Li: "It's possible that he and I have both received calls from ghosts more frequently."
As they talked, they walked outside the community. The community was full of people in the morning, and all the breakfast shops on the roadside had opened their doors, offering everything from pancakes to steamed buns and soy milk.
Xiao Li bought some breakfast, he slowed down and fell behind Rodian and Han Jin.
Han Jin pulled Rodian over, glanced at the two behind him uneasily, and asked carefully, "Dian, why do I think they are unreliable? Yan Luo is okay, but Moriarty looks..."
"The help item can only be used once, there is no other way." Rodian also responded worriedly, "Only Sima can be a living horse doctor."
Rodian took Xiao Li to the entrance of the Dance Academy.
After all the teammates left, the dance academy was taken over by Roddy Security, so she was also very familiar with the guards and teachers here. She disguised herself as a foreign student who yearned for dancing and often came to the dance academy to see her friends.
This academy is not strictly managed, the school spirit is free, and there are often outsiders coming in and out, as long as the registration is done, so Xiao Li and others can enter very smoothly.
The early morning breeze blew through everyone's hair, the sun shyly hid behind the clouds, and the students coming and going, the whole dance academy was full of youth and vitality.
The tip of Tan Li's head emerged from Xiao Li's pocket, looking at the normal campus with longing.
The doll's dull eyes flickered twice.
Luo Dian took Xiao Li and others directly to find Xu Chenfeng's friend Lin Xiangyi. She was the closest person to Xu Chenfeng. Now Xu Chenfeng has left the city because of fear and went to go to his parents who are not working - but cursed It still exists, she is afraid that she will not survive the seventh day.
Lin Xiangyi is a well-known beauty in the dance academy. She met Luo Dian and Han Jin with Xu Chenfeng before, greeted them, and said helplessly, "Sister Luo, why are you looking for me again today?"
Xu Chenfeng's matter did not affect Lin Xiangyi. She was skeptical about the Specter, but she was simply sad for her friend's departure, and there was no fear of being shrouded in Specter on her face.
Luo Dian said: "There are two friends, one surnamed Mo and the other Yan, we still want to know about your dance teacher, maybe it will help Chen Feng."
Lin Xiangyi first greeted Xiao Li and the two of them, and then said to Luo Dian with a bit of embarrassment on his face: "Sister Luo, I have told you about Sister Meiyou many times, and I will have a lesson later. Woolen cloth."
Han Jin said: "Depending on each other, we can make a long story short."
Because of her personality, Lin Xiangyi is not very good at rejecting others. She reluctantly agrees: "Okay, what else do you want to know?"
They were in the middle of their chat when Xiao Li's cell phone rang.
In the copy world, personal mobile phones never had a signal, so only ghosts could call in.
Xiao Li glanced at the caller ID of "4444444" and said to Lin Xiangyi, "Wait a minute, take a call."
Lin Xiangyi nodded at him. Seeing Xiao Li's expression was different, she seemed a little excited, so she couldn't help asking, "Okay, girlfriend?"
Xiao Li:
Lin Xiangyi immediately realized his rashness: "I'm sorry, because you seem to be looking forward to this call..."
Xiao Li was stunned for a moment, he thought about the relationship between himself and the phone ghost, and defined: "No, it's an enemy."
Rodian who knows the truth: "..."
- Moriarty's description, I don't know, I can make up for an ups and downs of grievances and hatreds.
- And Lin Xiangyi is right, you looked really looking forward to it just now, like a boy waiting for a date, why would you expect a ghost to call? !
