Even if Guan Xiaoyun was not injured, she could not escape the pursuit of dozens of people, not to mention that her leg was injured and she could not run fast.
Miss Qiao twisted her little arm back easily.
Everyone felt the excitement of seeing the light.
Guan Xiaoyun was not dead. This result was unexpected to most people, but a few people expected it. However, speculation is speculation and seeing it with one's own eyes is another matter.
Anyway, the moment they caught her, they had completed the first mission and could relax for now.
The lights of many flashlights were focused on Guan Xiaoyun. She closed her eyes tightly, pressed her thin lips together, and looked like she would rather die than surrender.
Chen Yang looked at Guan Xiaoyun. There were a few small scratches on her dirty face, her ponytail was messy, and there was a sour smell on her jacket, as if she had been in a garbage dump.
In the early morning, Chen Yang and others searched the memorial hall but didn't see her. They didn't know where she was hiding.
If it weren't for that idiot...
Chen Yang raised his phone and scanned it. He found the idiot sitting on the ground with one leg of his pants rolled up, revealing his chubby little legs that were glowing white.
Zhang Qi was playing the flute for the fool, and he looked at him as if he was his son, with eyes full of fatherly love.
A low voice sounded in Chen Yang's ears: "You used to blow me before."
"..." Chen Yang's mouth twitched a few times, his cheeks and ears were a little red, "I was just teasing you."
"I know." Chao Jian said, "Then when will you tease me?"
Chen Yang's neck turned red. He said in a voice that only Chao Jian could hear: "After you complete the task, I will tease you every day."
"Okay, blow me every day." He exhaled towards Jian.
Chen Yang: Hmm? Did you drive? It must be an illusion.
The wind blew towards Chen Yang's hot head, making him feel a little cooler. His thoughts returned to the original track. When the fool said "I got you" on the rockery, everyone went to see and found that there was nothing inside the rockery. They thought the fool was playing.
Now Chen Yang had another speculation. That was Guan Xiaoyun’s previous hiding place. She later moved to another place, but the fool didn’t know and went to the old place to look for her.
The fool ran around without finding anyone. He was too familiar with this place, so he finally found it.
As for when it gets dark, the fool suddenly cries out to play hide-and-seek...
Maybe when the fool first discovered Guan Xiaoyun, Guan Xiaoyun sent him away by saying "hide and seek".
Chen Yang moved the flashlight from the idiot to Guan Xiaoyun. Although the idiot didn't tell them who hung Cheng Jin up, he found Guan Xiaoyun.
The same thing happens when Guan Xiaoyun tells the story.
No, it’s different, Chen Yang shook his head. Guan Xiaoyun is one of the parties involved, she knows much more than a fool.
Chen Yang walked towards Guan Xiaoyun and called out politely, "Miss Guan."
Guan Xiaoyun, who had kept her eyes closed and refused to communicate, opened her eyes.
The anxious taskers were all a little surprised. Chen Yang also didn't expect that he would have such special treatment. He walked a few inches closer and smelled the fishy smell in her breath. She had bitten her mouth.
Guan Xiaoyun's eyes gradually widened, perhaps she was angry that Chen Yang could recognize her so quickly under such circumstances. She gasped and spat at him fiercely.
Chen Yang dodged quickly, grabbed Chao Jian's trembling hand, and forcibly pulled him to a nearby place to coax him away.
The next thing is, there are teammates.
Chen Yang stood at a position where he could observe the team's situation without being disturbed, and gently comforted Chao Jian, who was feeling depressed: "It's okay, it's okay."
Chao Jian was in a bad mood. He leaned against the carved window with his back, and a low wheeze came out of his throat as if someone had scratched his reverse scale. It sounded chilling: "You said that if people don't offend me, I won't offend them. If someone offends me, I will kill them."
"Yes," Chen Yang said, "I can dodge what can't be vomited on me."
Chao Jian's threshold is related to Chen Yang. Now that he is almost being bullied, Chao Jian's threshold suddenly drops a lot.
"Annoying." Chao Jian couldn't control himself. He was afraid that he would do something that would affect Chen Yang, so he had to take out the medicine bottle and swallow two pills.
Chen Yangxin said, I am also very annoyed. I want to drink beer, eat fried chicken, sleep and watch movies. I don’t want to risk my head looking for clues and looking at dead people to do tasks.
The closer it gets to the end, the faster my mentality collapses.
Chen Yang's fingertips that were rubbing against Chao Jian's cheek suddenly felt cold. At the same time, a shout broke out in the team: "It's snowing!"
The temperature has dropped, and those who are not wearing enough clothes have to find a place to hide. It will be painful if they get sick during the mission, even if it is just a common cold.
Fine snowflakes fell from the sky, rustling and covering the entire memorial hall.
Chen Yang sighed: "I wonder if it's snowing in the Sanlian Bridge in the fake world."
"The seasons are in sync." Chao Jian said.
Chen Yang said "Oh", "Then it's down."
"03 is afraid of snowflakes. He will definitely run to the living room while biting his nest. With Miss Nini around, he probably won't be bored. And Wen Qing, he likes 03 very much. Maybe he will take them downstairs to make a snowman..."
Chao Jian interrupted Chen Yang's mumbling: "Xiaoxue, I can't make it."
"That's right." Chen Yang grabbed Chao Jian's arm and wiped his tears on his cold sleeve.
Chao Jian frowned: "You miss them."
"I thought about it." Chen Yang tugged at Chao Jian's sleeve, put his fingers in, and rubbed his warm skin, but I will not retreat or waver, I will rush towards you, and you just need to catch me.
The snow gradually got heavier, and everyone moved the battlefield to a front hall.
The fool had fallen asleep in the corner, his hands clasped together under his face, like a sleeping baby.
Guan Xiaoyun's mouth was still like a clam shell and could not be pried open.
If that spit happens again, it is very likely to lead to a bloody murder. Chen Yang has no way of getting close to Guan Xiaoyun, and the job of questioning can only be left to other people. He thought so while feeling anxious and irritated.
Chen Yang was unfamiliar with most of his teammates and didn't know their strengths and weaknesses. He looked at his old teammates and tried to urge them on.
It turned out that all the old teammates were standing on the periphery and no one wanted to step forward and give it a try.
Chen Yang had a mouthful of blood stuck in his throat. Chao Jian was afraid of his back and smoothed it out for him.
"Fuck you, let's beat him up!" Someone in the team shouted, and several others followed suit.
Guan Xiaoyun remained indifferent.
"My goodness, it's so cold." Jiang Jiang rubbed his hands and approached the target of the task, "Sister, if you cooperate, we can all finish it earlier, it will be great, please."
There was a crack in Guan Xiaoyun's zombie-like posture, and she stared at Jiang Jiang in a daze.
Jiang Jiang turned his head and winked at everyone. What's going on? Is she attracted to me? Is that right? Should I sell my body? I don't know how to sell my body!
Chen Yang glanced at Zhang Qi next to him. Zhang Qi walked to Jiang Jiang knowingly and whispered, "You seem to be of the same type as Ye Yu."
Jiang Jiang: "... Souga." He turned around, pouted twice into his palms, and wiped his hands on his head with a self-satisfied look, "Watch me."
The next moment, everyone heard Jiang Jiang call out to Guan Xiaoyun in a sweet voice: "Xiaoyun~"
They felt a little like vomiting, but Guan Xiaoyun's eyelids trembled and her breath became much softer.
Everyone: “…” Well, they don’t understand.
After a while, after a secret discussion, Jiang Jiang and Guan Xiaoyun were the only ones left in the huge lobby, and everyone was waiting outside.
Jiang Jiang's companion squatted at the door and ate melon seeds.
Chen Yang: "Aren't you worried?"
"I'm worried." He took out the small bag of Qia Qia melon seeds from his arms and asked, "Do you want to eat some?"
Chen Yang couldn't help but ask for some melon seeds and gave them to Chao Jian.
Chao Jian peeled one and he ate one.
Outside the hall the wind blew the snowflakes, the weather was freezing cold, but the hall was filled with the warm atmosphere of family harmony.
Jiang Jiang held Guan Xiaoyun's arm lightly and said considerately, "Xiaoyun, let's go sit on the chair and talk."
Guan Xiaoyun looked at him with straight eyes, looking pitiful as if she was deeply immersed in love.
Jiang Jiang hadn't taken two steps when he caught a glimpse of cold light in his peripheral vision.
The blade stopped one inch away from Jiang Jiang's neck artery. No matter how hard Guan Xiaoyun tried, it could not move forward at all.
Jiang Jiang's skills are not that strong, but they are more than enough to deal with ordinary girls.
"Why do you think my friends want me to be alone with you?" Jiang Jiang glanced at the woman's injured leg and told her the cruel reality. "There is only one exit in the front hall. You can't escape. Save your energy."
Guan Xiaoyun stared at Jiang Jiang with bloodshot eyes, and the hand holding the blade was still struggling desperately.
"There will be someone guarding outside the window." Jiang Jiang easily took off her blade, wrapped it in a tissue and put it in her pocket. "And some of my friends are very allergic to the smell of blood. Let's put it this way, if you cut a hole in my window one second, they will rush in the next second. You can't escape no matter what."
"We won't hurt you." Jiang Jiang shook the little mouse tail on the back of his head, "Everyone just sit down and talk, that's all."
Guan Xiaoyun lost her razor blade, and a look of despair appeared on her dirty face.
"Your colleague Cheng Jin died on the second floor of the clock tower here, next to the big clock. You know about this, right?" Jiang Jiang was anxious like an ant on hot pot. He pinched his knuckles until they made a "click" sound, not knowing when he would lose control and punch this woman.
Guan Xiaoyun closed her eyes again.
"Hanged ghosts are so scary, sticking out their tongues, like this." Jiang Jiang stuck out his tongue and deliberately pinched his neck to make a sound of breathing obstruction, "Uh..."
Guan Xiaoyun was a little trembling.
"Your colleague's eyes bulged out, and he died with his eyes open." Jiang Jiang said in the standard voice of a ghost story, "and it stinks. The smell is like... the smell of pork bought in the summer, forgotten to be put in the refrigerator, and left in a tightly tied bag for a whole day."
Guan Xiaoyun's body shook a little more violently.
Just when Jiang Jiang was about to press on with his victory, a string of silly laughter suddenly rang out from the corner.
“Hehehe… Hehehehe…”
The idiot was still lying there, sleeping soundly. When everyone went out, they left him there.
"All fools are fools. How can they sleep so soundly at this time?" Jiang Jiang admired and envied him.
"What's wrong with a fool!" Guan Xiaoyun blurted out, "If it weren't for him, I would have died too. He helped me lead those people away."
Jiang Jiang's ears moved: "Who are they?"
Guan Xiaoyun suddenly pursed her bloodless lips.
"Your other colleagues? Liu Zhi and the others?" Jiang Jiang's eyes were filled with wisdom. "Liu Zhi asked us to investigate your disappearance. The suicide note you left behind mentioned 'they are targeting me'. It's exactly the same content, so in fact, they are targeting you, but you don't know that they are also being targeted."
Guan Xiaoyun's lips trembled slightly.
Jiang Jiang said without hesitation: "Now your colleagues Cheng Jin and Ye Yu are dead, and only you are left..."
The people outside the door suddenly heard a scream of despair.
"ah!!!"
When they rushed in, they saw Jiang Jiang grabbing Guan Xiaoyun from behind, cursing and yelling something.
Guan Xiaoyun was completely different from before. Her ponytail was loose, and her hair was scattered in front of her eyes because of her struggle. She looked sad, with snot and tears all over her face, and drooling from the corners of her mouth.
"She suddenly went crazy, and I was afraid she would bite her tongue to commit suicide, so I removed her jaw in a hurry." Jiang Jiang hurriedly picked up Guan Xiaoyun. This was the first time in his life that he was so close to a girl. He felt that it was the first time and the last time.
"Idiot, can't you just knock him out?" Lao Xiao couldn't bear to watch it anymore and walked to Jiang Jiang, then chopped Guan Xiaoyun's neck with his hand like a knife.
“… Forgot.” Guan Xiaoyun in Jiang Jiang’s arms stopped crying. She closed her eyes and fell down.
Chen Yang asked: "Jiang Jiang, why did she suddenly go crazy?"
Everyone around looked at Jiang Jiang. Yes, why? Didn't the target treat you as a substitute? Why did the negotiation fall through so quickly
Jiang Jiang became the focus all of a sudden. He avoided everyone's sight guiltily. He put Guan Xiaoyun on the chair and said weakly: "Maybe, perhaps, probably, um, hehe, I told her about Ye Yu's death."
"… "
Chen Yang pinched his brows. The news of her boyfriend's death dealt a heavy blow to Guan Xiaoyun. This was a foreseeable scene, and there was no way to avoid it. It just came a little early.
"Have you asked all the questions you should ask?" Chen Yang looked at Jiang Jiang.
"I just started." Jiang Jiang hid behind his little friend.
Someone roared in anger: "Then why the hell did you provoke her?"
Jiang Jiang subconsciously wanted to retort, but his companion said first: "He is naive and does things without thinking. He gave up his intelligence because he is handsome. I apologize to you on his behalf. I am sorry, it is my friend who failed to live up to the trust of the organization and caused trouble for the organization."
As he said this, he held his head and bowed.
Everyone: “…”
The atmosphere changed from a tense group fight to a subtle one. Most people thought it was okay and that this part was over, but a few people still wanted to beat people up.
Then there was a commotion in the front hall.
Zhang Qi threw the cigarette butt on the ground and crushed it with his shoe sole: "Brother, what should we do now?"
It was seven o'clock, and there were four hours left to complete the task. Zhang Qi felt the same anxiety as when he handed in his exam papers in school. However, if he didn't hand in his exam papers, he would at most be scolded by his teachers and parents. The task was a life-threatening one, so he wanted to smash something to relieve his stress.
Chen Yang groaned and said, "Let's go to her house."
"Wouldn't that be more exciting?" Zhang Qi didn't understand.
"The rhythm is already disrupted, and we have to keep disrupting it." Zheng Zhiqin walked past them and went out.
The confusion in Zhang Qi's eyes faded a little, and he seemed to understand.
If they all walked together, they would be too conspicuous and would arouse the curiosity and nervousness of the tourists, so they had to walk separately and gather at Guan Xiaoyun's house.
It’s snowing, and the scenic area is bustling in a different way.
Chen Yang and Chao Jian walked through the alley and onto the main road. Tourists came one after another, and the aroma of snacks wafted all the way.
Guan Xiaoyun was taken to the destination by several taskers. They took the initiative to take on the job, and Zheng Zhitan was with the team. Chen Yang trusted his ability and was not worried about any accidents.
A tourist passed by Chen Yang with a bowl of oden, and his stomach growled even louder.
Before Chen Yang could say anything, Chao Jian went to buy him some oden.
There was a commotion ahead, so Chen Yang hurriedly greeted Chao Jian and went to check the situation.
A young couple was arguing fiercely. Chen Yang heard them talking about old things, and he didn't understand what was going on. It was the onlookers who told him that the child was missing.
If you're not looking for the child, what are you arguing about? Chen Yang was furious, but he was still actively trying to solve the problem: "Madam, sir, please tell me the child's characteristics, what clothes he's wearing, how old he is, what hairstyle he has, and whether he's holding anything in his hands. I'll help you find him.
The couple stopped arguing and they all directed their criticism at Chen Yang, an outsider.
"How are you going to find it by yourself? Go call your colleagues!"
After that, continue arguing.
"I said I didn't want to travel to Qingcheng, but you insisted on coming. Now, Doudou is lost."
"Am I the one who wants to come? I don't want to go out to play even more than you do. If your mom hadn't mentioned the travel festival to Doudou and he hadn't been interested and clamoring to see it, would I have booked a flight? Your mom doesn't know, but how could you not know? I'm so busy that I stayed up late for several days to work for this trip!"
"So what? What does this have to do with you not taking a good look at Doudou?"
"Aren't I tired of rushing to finish my work? I feel dizzy when I walk. You asked me to look after Doudou, why don't you take him with you?!"
"I'm too lazy to argue with you. Before I came here, I told you that I had a dream, a nightmare, a bad omen, that we couldn't come to Qingcheng Sanlian Bridge. You thought I was talking nonsense, but in the end, we just got here this afternoon, and Doudou was gone in the blink of an eye in the evening. You never took my words seriously. If you had believed me a little, we wouldn't be here now..."
"… "
Chen Yang felt like his brain had become a wooden fish, being knocked over and over again until it was about to crack. He turned around and looked for the onlookers to collect information about the child.
Before he finished collecting the information, Chen Yang saw Qian Qin leading a boy towards him. The boy was the same as described by the crowd.
The onlookers stood further away. Someone shouted, "Why are you two still arguing? Your baby was brought here by a kind person!"
The boy held Qian Qin's hand and refused to run to his parents.
His mother rushed over crying, hugged him tightly, and asked him where he had been and why he was disobedient.
"It's okay, as long as Doudou is okay." The father was not so emotional.
"Let's go tonight and leave Sanlian Bridge." He covered his throbbing right eyelid, "I'm telling the truth, in my heart..."
The child's mother interrupted him and sneered, "If you want to leave, go by yourself. I will take Doudou to the tourism festival alone."
"It's not just Sanlianqiao that has a tourism festival, there are other places too. We can wait until other places have a tourism festival before we go and see them." Seeing that she didn't take it seriously, the child's father yelled angrily, "Can you just trust me for once!"
The young woman was also stubborn. She ignored her husband and just picked up the child and left.
There were whispers among the tourists around.
"Isn't it nice to take the kids on a trip? There's no point in quarreling."
"Yeah, I really don't know what the quarrel is about. It's a good thing the child wasn't lost. If he was, you'd regret it."
"… "
"Since we're here, let's just take a look. Tomorrow is the Tourism Festival, so one day won't make a difference. Even the president isn't that busy."
"… "
"Sanlian Bridge has a tourism festival every year, but there has never been any incident like that. It's a bad omen. This father is really something. He didn't even find a good excuse to go back."
"It has been many years since it snowed around the Sanlian Bridge during the tourism festival. I wonder if it will snow tomorrow. Let's go for a walk."
"… "
Chen Yang didn't care what would happen after the incident. He stepped out of the crowd and called Qian Qin.
"Fortunately, you saw the child, otherwise I wouldn't be able to find him for a while, the couple would have a quarrel, and I might have violated a taboo." Chen Yang thanked Qian Qin.
Qian Qin's mostly white hair was covered with broken snow. He was slightly hunched over, with one hand in his coat pocket and the other hanging down the side of his trousers, still in a clenched position.
"This farce I encountered before you, looking for the child was not for you." Qian Qin.
Chen Yang did not change his mind, but Qian Qin still helped him. Because he also encountered this problem, he also had to take responsibility for resolving it.
It was late at night and snowing. If Qian Qin couldn't find the child, it would take who knows how much time it would take.
Normally, it would be easy to look for it and search the scenic spot thoroughly, but this time it is not possible. The first task is being completed with difficulty, so it is very troublesome.
“Big brother!”
The boy stumbled over and raised the car in his hand. He looked at Qian Qin with his dark eyes full of innocence and kindness. "This is for you."
Qian Qin stood still for a while: "Thank you."
The boy wanted to stay with Qian Qin for a while, but his mother took him away, and this time he couldn't run back.
Chen Yang saw Qian Qin squatting down and rubbing the car on the bluestone slabs, and the car moved forward slowly.
Qian Qin picked up the car and left. The more lonely and calm he looked on the outside, the hotter the magma in his heart was, and his very bones seemed to be on fire.
The aroma of oden came from the left, and Chen Yang withdrew his gaze from Qian Qin's thin back.
Chao Jian gave him the paper cup.
"There are a lot of things to do in the scenic area." Chen Yang held the paper cup, feeling the hot air going into his palm. He exhaled and glanced at the Sanlian Bridge with red lanterns hanging high. This fragment of the real world became more and more unreal as the mission progressed.
"Xiao Chen, what's going on?" A familiar voice came from the crowd.
Chen Yang looked at Liu Zhi who was walking towards him, his mind was filled with the murder and shredding of bodies. He bit a beef ball hard and said, "A child got lost just now."
"What, the child is lost? Has he been found now?" The gentleness on Liu Zhi's face disappeared in an instant.
Chen Yang nodded: "I found it."
"That's good." Liu Zhi returned to his original demeanor, "The meeting starts at 11 o'clock. Didn't you forget?"
Chen Yang said he didn’t forget.
Liu Zhi didn't ask how the investigation was going, he just reminded him again.
Chen Yang stared at Liu Zhi warily until his figure disappeared around the corner, then he said, "Go quickly."
Chao Jian took him a shortcut.
Chen Yang was eating oden until it was too hot for his mouth. He became impatient and gave it to Chao Jian after eating only a few pieces.
When Chen Yang arrived at Guan Xiaoyun's house, only a small number of the taskers had arrived, and most of them were still on the way.
The first wave of taskers who arrived stayed under the eaves of the main room and did not enter the house.
The men's eyes followed the oden in Chao Jian's hand, but the women's eyes had no oden at all, only the handsome guy eating it.
Chen Yang entered the main room and turned on the light. He waited for a while, and his teammates arrived one after another.
The number of people was different from that at the memorial hall, as there were about ten fewer people, including Zheng Zhiqin's counselor.
This phenomenon made the atmosphere in the team tense.
"I, I heard a few tourists discussing on the way here. They said that some tourists were dissatisfied with the fact that three attractions were not open, and they had an argument with the people from the management office." A short boy spoke hesitantly.
Those ten or so people were probably in a hurry to rush to Guan Xiaoyun's house and ignored the dispute, or they all thought that others would handle it, and finally they violated the taboo and died.
Chen Yang glanced at Zheng Zhiqin, who was standing in the yard smoking with his back to him.
The counselor was walking with a new lady of the same age, not with Zheng Zhitan. If they had gone together...
The smell of cigarettes mixed with cold air rushed into Chen Yang's nostrils. The scene of Zheng Zhiqin smoking beside Pan Lin's body and the voice of "Goodbye, little friend" appeared in front of his eyes. He pulled the corners of his mouth silently and took a step forward.
"Do you want to go find your counselor? Maybe she was just delayed by something and came late." Chen Yang stopped beside Zheng Zhitan.
Zheng Zhiqin flicked the ash off his cigarette and said, "I saw her body."
Chen Yang said no more. According to his age, he should call the counselor "Auntie". The bag of dates she gave him was still on his bedside, uneaten.
All he could remember was that her face was plain, capable and thin, with a mole right in the middle of her chin.
These are the ones he has come into contact with. As for those who he has not come into contact with, Chen Yang has no impression of their death. He just feels that there are fewer people.
A hundred-man mission, a hundred people... Almost all of them are a few lives, and the reduction of a dozen lives is like a mere number.
Chen Yang returned to the main room, turned to the stairs, and headed straight for the second floor without stopping.
There was a door at the entrance of the stairs on the second floor. There were several rooms inside, one of which was Guan Xiaoyun's room. Later, in order to find clues, they smashed the walls and floors.
On the day Chen Yang left, he closed all the doors and windows on the second floor. In one room there was the body of a young man, the body of an old man, and a dismembered body. The smell was indescribable.
Chen Yang went in wearing a mask and quickly opened the window to let the smell out.
When the smell was no longer so strong, he asked his teammates to carry Guan Xiaoyun up.
Guan Xiaoyun hasn't woken up yet, or rather, she refuses to wake up and doesn't want to face reality. This state is somewhat similar to Wu Yu's.
"Press the acupuncture points: Ren Zhong, Zhong Quan and Yong Quan," said a tasker.
"She didn't faint suddenly, she was knocked unconscious. How could she have been unconscious for so long? She should have woken up long ago." There were different voices in the team.
Miss Qiao brought Guan Xiaoyun to her side and whispered something in her ear.
Guan Xiaoyun's eyelids were trembling.
"Awake." Miss Qiao chuckled.
What she said just now was: Don’t you want to see your boyfriend? He doesn’t even have anyone to collect his body.
Guan Xiaoyun looked at the group of people blocking the door at the staircase and asked hoarsely, "Where is he? Where is my boyfriend?"
"Tell us everything you know and we will let you see him!" Jiang Jiang shouted.
Guan Xiaoyun looked at him as if she wanted to eat him.
Jiang Jiang shrank back towards his companions. He absolutely dared not tell the woman about her grandfather's affairs, for fear that she would be so upset that she would commit suicide without saying anything.
Guan Xiaoyun lowered her head and said nothing. After a long while, when everyone was getting impatient, she slowly spoke.
“I thought I was the only one.” Guan Xiaoyun put her hands into her hair and grabbed a handful of it. “I didn’t expect Cheng Ge and A Yu to also… I don’t know… Why did A Yu… Woo…”
The woman on the stairs burst into tears. This tragedy happened only last week.
Last week, Guan Xiaoyun was patrolling the scenic area as usual. When she got off work and returned home, she found an anonymous letter in the mailbox at the door. The letter said that as long as she promised to do something, she would be paid a sum of money.
Guan Xiaoyun thought it was a scam and threw the letter away. However, that evening, she received a message saying that there was suddenly an extra 100,000 yuan in her card.
Soon she received the second letter. The anonymous person revealed that the 100,000 was just a token of sincerity, and she began to believe it.
"I didn't want to agree at first..." Guan Xiaoyun looked at his rough fingers, "I can't earn that kind of money in several lifetimes... I just want to live a more relaxed life, is that wrong, am I wrong..."
After hearing what she said, it was obvious to everyone that she was tempted by money.
As the saying goes, wealth and honor are sought in danger. Right or wrong is relative, they are bystanders and it is difficult for them to judge.
"I don't understand why Ayu wants to follow the same path as me." Guan Xiaoyun squatted down, whimpering in pain.
Chen Yang looked down at her despair from a distance: "You understand."
Guan Xiaoyun's body shook.
"His sister's marriage was a disaster. She wants to open a store to change her lifestyle, but opening a store requires capital." Chen Yang paused for a moment, "He also has a girl he likes, and they need to make plans for their future."
Guan Xiaoyun buried her head in her arms, her shoulders shaking.
"Cheng Jin is about the same," Chen Yang said. The child is about to be born, and there is an opportunity to get out of trouble. As long as he grabs it, the family can live a good life. Even if he knows there is danger, he will still take a gamble with a fluke mentality.
Chen Yang took a deep breath. Zheng Zhitan had told him before that "the common point of Cheng, Guan and Ye is that they are poor." At that time, he didn't take it seriously. He thought that many families in Sanlianqiao had poor conditions, so that was not a characteristic.
Now that I think about it, that was the common point, except that the chance to turn things around in life was not distributed among all those who were tired of living, but was only given to these three people.
No one cares how much the so-called reward is, nor does anyone care whether the anonymous person is curious or has other ideas. They just want to know what Guan Xiaoyun did.
However, Guan Xiaoyun refused to cooperate again.
"Ding" a light metallic sound was heard on the stairs, and Miss Qiao pressed the cap of the lighter, "Sister."
Guan Xiaoyun didn't respond.
Miss Qiao gave her a cigarette: "Do you want one?"
Guan Xiaoyun took the cigarette and Miss Qiao bent down to light it for her.
"What was the dressing box that Cheng Jin stole for?" Miss Qiao leaned against the wall, the scenery at the slit of her cheongsam vaguely visible, which was both charming and hot and neat. No one would come near her unless she waved.
Guan Xiaoyun smoked for the first time and she started coughing after taking a puff. She continued to smoke after coughing, and the second puff was better: "Everyone who works in the management office is surrounded by these attractions all day long and will hear some superstitious things.
"It is rumored that the owner of the dressing box was a woman who was about to get married. She was betrayed by her lover and committed suicide. She has been living in the box ever since. Anyone who takes the box and worships it will be rewarded by the female ghost." Guan Xiaoyun said, "Brother Cheng pointed to the female ghost to protect his wife and children."
"It's fake." She laughed out loud, tears streaming down her face.
Miss Qiao sighed softly: "Not only is he pitiful, he's also stupid."
Guan Xiaoyun kicked over.
"He's still a kind person." Miss Qiao raised her eyebrows.
Guan Xiaoyun's face suddenly changed. She smoked fiercely with trembling hands, laughing as she smoked: "I'm not kind, I'm selfish, haha, I will be struck by lightning."
Miss Qiao glanced at the people waiting for the results. Seeing that the situation was almost over, she got to the point: "What exactly did you do?"
Guan Xiaoyun took several puffs, opened her mouth, and slowly uttered three words: "Experience Hall."
Everyone was in an uproar. Experience center? Is there such an attraction in the scenic area? No
Chen Yang wanted to find Chao Jian to verify, his scalp trembled suddenly. During the mission at the train station, the magazine he was reading was a Qingcheng travel guide, and the Sanlian Bridge in it had one more place than the Sanlian Bridge in the virtual world.
After Chen Yang came in here, he tried to recall where the extra place was, but he couldn't remember it at all. It was as if that part of his memory had been completely erased.
Now Chen Yang remembered that the extra space was the experience center!
He remembered!
Chen Yang's heartbeat quickened, his scalp trembled, he put his pale lips to Chao Jian's ear, breathing rapidly: "The Sanlian Bridge in your memory also has an experience hall?"
Chao Jian said: "No."
At that moment, many thoughts flashed through Chen Yang's mind, passing by like a meteor shower, leaving no trace.
Chen Yang heard his teammates making a fuss and talking at once. He also heard Guan Xiaoyun say, "It's been sealed off. It was sealed off many years ago."
"Where is it located?" Miss Qiao's lazy tone was out of tune with the tension around her.
Guan Xiaoyun said nothing.
Chen Yang asked suddenly: "Is the location in the management office?"
Guan Xiaoyun's hands on her knees shrank violently.
Chen Yang guessed correctly, if nothing unexpected happened, the entrance was behind that small door. Unfortunately, they couldn't get Liu Zhi's key and couldn't go in to find out.
"It's in the management office, underground." Guan Xiaoyun looked into space. "You have to go through a long passage."
She said that the experience hall was originally just an ordinary tourist attraction on the underground floor. It would be open on the day of the tourism festival, and tourists could go in to listen to the sounds of the old times and experience the past.
One year, something strange happened in the experience hall and it has been closed since then, and it has also become a taboo in Sanlianqiao.
As far as she could remember, that place was just a vacant lot, next to the west side of the memorial hall.
All Guan Xiaoyun had to do was to enter the experience hall, turn on a disc, and record everything on video. The person on the letter told her to be careful of the guards, but she didn't take it seriously. She was born and raised in Sanlianqiao and had never heard of or seen any guards.
I have only seen the experience hall in the diary left by my grandmother. It is a very ordinary tourist attraction.
As for the changes, grandma didn't record much and only wrote four words.
Guan Xiaoyun couldn't tell whether she went there for the money or out of curiosity. She found an entrance according to the information in her grandmother's diary and sneaked into the experience hall.
Before that, Guan Xiaoyun never thought that her life was in danger. She just thought that the rich were sending the poor people to have fun.
It wasn't until she walked down the stairs and through the underground passage, after walking for an unknown amount of time, that she saw the disc that she thought wouldn't be there, and she unconsciously moved closer.
Everyone held their breath when they heard this.
"I realized I was in a weird state, so I ran away. I didn't touch the disc," Guan Xiaoyun continued. When she got home, she found that her phone was not turned on and she didn't record any videos, but she didn't want to go there a second time.
More than 10,000 yuan of the 100,000 yuan had been spent. Guan Xiaoyun tried to collect the money and put it in her card. She thought, just pretend that nothing had happened. It doesn't matter if you are poor, at least you are safe. After experiencing fear, she knew that nothing is more important than safety.
But things did not go as Guan Xiaoyun wished. Her life could not go back to its normal state because someone was targeting her, and there was more than one person.
Guan Xiaoyun suspected that the people who were targeting her were the guards. She wanted to call the police, but if she did, it would implicate the letters and money she had received. Besides, she could not provide any information about the anonymous people, so she began to hesitate and struggle.
With no one to discuss things with, Guan Xiaoyun anxiously and neurotically wrote "They are targeting me!" everywhere, and she wrote a lot.
The guards were watching closely, and Guan Xiaoyun wanted to escape, but there were guards at the front and back gates of the scenic area, so she couldn't get out at all. She could only hide first and think of a way out.
At that time, Guan Xiaoyun naively thought that the guards were just watching her and would not kill her to silence her. She had not expected what would happen next. One wrong step led to another.
Guan Xiaoyun harmed herself because of a momentary lapse of thought. She regretted it deeply during the time she was hiding. When Cheng Jin was killed, she was scared to death and even thought about committing suicide.
But she didn't do that. What would happen to grandpa now that she's gone
Guan Xiaoyun suddenly stood up: "Where is my grandpa?"
Everyone was busy sorting out what Guan Xiaoyun said, and when they heard her, no one looked at her.
"Where's my grandpa?!" Guan Xiaoyun was filled with a bad premonition. Her face turned pale and her eyes widened with tears. "Ah! Where is my grandpa?"
"Dead!" someone shouted angrily.
Guan Xiaoyun looked over blankly: "What did you say? Say it again."
She pushed aside a few people and went towards the other side, but she fell downstairs before she took two steps.
Zhang Qi caught the man in time: "He fainted."
Chen Yang said, "Let's put it aside for now and sort out the clues."
The people on the stairs dispersed in small groups or individuals. Chen Yang turned the door at the stairwell and walked in. He dragged the body out and placed it at the door.
"I'm solving the problem in the wrong direction." Chen Yang said to himself, "I thought the 'they' in the suicide note referred to Liu Zhi and others from the management office."
"In the experience hall, you can experience the sounds of the old times. Are there pictures to watch, or do you listen to them? Are the keepers the old guys who witnessed the changes back then? Or maybe they are their descendants."
Chen Yang sorted out his thoughts, and all the current progress was pushed to tomorrow's tourism festival. Guan Xiaoyun didn't touch the disc, and the experience hall was still closed. Will there be any accidents tomorrow
Ye Yu and Cheng Jin are both dead. I don’t know if they were like Guan Xiaoyun, who went in and ran away when they found something wrong.
Chen Yang sat down casually on the ground and asked Chao Jian to check his body temperature and heartbeat: "I feel my threshold has risen." Because he is quite calm now.
Chao Jian checked it and said, "It's okay. It's normal to have fluctuations. Don't worry about it."
Chen Yang gave his hand to Chao Jian and asked him to squeeze it.
There was a faint sound in the corridor. Chen Yang was very familiar with it. It was the sound of pills colliding in the bottle. He looked downstairs and found Miss Qiao taking medicine.
Chen Yang couldn't help but ask with concern: "Sister Qiao, what's wrong with you?"
Miss Qiao swallowed the pill: "It's for sex addiction."
This answer was so straightforward that Chen Yang took a breath. No wonder she didn't get entangled with any tasker here, nor did she get close to the NPCs...
After all, whether it is traces, smell, or condition, it can all be seen.
Miss Qiao put away the medicine bottle, ran her fingers through her curly hair, and changed her nail polish to bright red, which was so bright against her snow-white skin that people could not take their eyes off her.
She was originally a hedonist, she would accept whatever fate gave her, just as a way to relax and relieve stress.
An incident happened at the end of last year. The mother of one of my bed partners hired a detective to find her residence. She wanted to kneel down in front of her and beg her to let her son go.
The son also knelt down in front of her and begged her not to abandon him.
Miss Qiao suddenly got tired of that kind of life, tired of living as a slave to sex and love, and she wanted to see if she could quit the addiction.
The doctor was very gentle and the medicine was not bad to eat, so Miss Qiao began to receive treatment. Gradually, the medicine began to struggle with the desire that grew in her bones.
Chen Yang caught the flash of mania in Miss Qiao's eyes. He suspected that it was the side effects of the medicine that sent her into this review task.
"Why should I tell you everything?" Miss Qiao said slowly, "Xiao Yangyang, you are my best friend."
Chen Yang: “…”
"You woke up very quickly this time." Just as Miss Qiao finished speaking, Guan Xiaoyun, who was standing by the wall, staggered towards the door.
"Ah—" Guan Xiaoyun screamed heartbreakingly.
Chen Yang's eardrum hurt a little, his threshold dropped again, and now he also wanted to scream a few times.
Guan Xiaoyun sat slumped between the bodies of her lover and relatives. She was mad, with blood around her lips, and she kept mumbling, saying "Ayu must have come to find me", and then "Grandpa is gone, I was wrong", and then no one knew what she was saying.
Chen Yang leaned closer and heard clearly what she said: I lied.
"What? What lie did you tell?" Chen Yang was a little panicked for some reason. He held Chao Jian's hand tightly and locked his eyes on Guan Xiaoyun.
Guan Xiaoyun looked at Chen Yang and the others one by one, then looked at the others who had come running up after hearing the noise. She looked at them with pity and a hint of apology in her eyes, which then turned into indifference.
“I actually opened…”
Guan Xiaoyun's face was as pale as a ghost. She had lost her mind that night and was bewitched. By the time she came to her senses, her hand had already turned the disk away.
"Retribution has come, retribution has come so soon!" Guan Xiaoyun lay beside the bodies of her relatives and lovers, laughing with a twisted face, tears streaming down her face. "If it is really like the legend says, if we open it, there will be another change, then let's die together, and don't live anymore... I opened it, but it's too late... It's over..."
"Stop making noise." Miss Qiao slapped her. "What did you open?"
Guan Xiaoyun's nose and tears flowed down together. She closed her eyes, opened her mouth widely, and said word by word: "Black Miracle."
