Very strange.
The evil spirit that had been hiding in his eyes disappeared.
Lu Yanli had already prepared himself to die. Whether it was the price he paid for making a wish or the evil spirit in his eyes, it was possible that he would die without a burial place.
But now... where is that evil spirit
Thinking of a possibility, Lu Yanli was shocked.
Could it be that he is going to find him in the future
Oh no!
Once he is found by that evil ghost, he will surely die in the future!
Lu Yanli put on a mask and ran out.
He had to remind them, otherwise, if they saw him die on May 1st in the future, they would not be able to survive the mission on May 1st.
There was no way for them to communicate, so Lu Yanli could only rely on his own guesses. Unfortunately... when he found the right person, it was too late.
Since May 1st, he has been killed by an evil spirit from an unknown timeline.
He stood in the cabin, looking at the bloody corpse in front of him and a head that looked exactly like his own on the table. His hands and feet felt cold.
If I kill my future self, will I also become a ghost
According to his original plan, he made a wish and went there. Even if the evil spirit was hiding in his eyes, he could use his wish of resurrection to fight against it. This is why he accepted his future self's calculations.
But now, for some unknown reason, the evil spirit hidden in the eye came out and killed his future self.
So, this year...can they make it through May Day
Lu Yanli thought a lot and finally made a choice.
He took off the headless corpse's coat and used it to replace the head. Then he carried the headless corpse on his back and walked out.
Because a murder happened here, the police blocked the area, and people in the town usually wouldn't come here. After walking for a while, he put the body and the head in a roadside telephone booth and called the police.
On this day, the police station received a very strange call.
“… Hello? How are you? How can I help you?”
"Hello? Hello?" the operator continued to ask.
There was a strange noise coming from the other end, rustling, chaotic and chaotic noise. The operator was afraid of something going wrong, so he didn't hang up. "Hello? What's going on?"
Finally, a hoarse voice of a young man appeared on the other end of the line.
"Guess... who I am?"
"What? Please don't play a prank."
“Hahahahaha… don’t you want to catch me very much?” The man on the other end of the phone laughed, “How have you been feeling these past few days? Well, I saw that you guys were tired, so I slowed down my explosive speed a little.”
"You... you are..." You are the murderer of the bombing?!
Before the operator could finish, the young man on the other end continued in a cheerful tone: "Now, I'll give you one last chance to catch me. I'm in the third phone booth on xx Road. I'll leave before ten minutes are up."
"Who are you?" The operator almost exploded at the arrogant tone of the man. He hurriedly notified his colleague, and the man heard the voice.
"Ah, it's okay, you can go and notify them now. I'll wait for you here. It'll only take ten minutes, dear policeman." The young man smiled more obviously, humming an unknown tune. "By the way, you haven't found my name for such a long time. I might as well tell you that my name is Lu Yanli."
"Your name is Lu Yanli, right? You're calling because..." The operator was still trying to calm the other person down and wanted to chat with him for a while, but there was a loud "bang" from the other end, and then there was no sound.
"Hello? Hello?! Are you still there?"
"Tick, tick..." There was only the sound of liquid dripping.
Lu Yanli had just finished speaking and was about to put the microphone down when he realized that the touch in his hand was wrong, cold and slippery.
He suddenly looked down and saw that what he was holding in his hand was not a microphone, but the arm of the headless corpse!
He violently shook off his arm and fled outside without even closing the door, leaving the body leaning against the wall with its pale hand still on the phone.
Now, weirdness is targeting him again.
In less than ten minutes, the police arrived at the scene.
For the sake of aesthetics, the town mostly uses old-fashioned telephone booths with opaque exteriors. The police cautiously surrounded the town with guns, and just as they were worried that opening the door might trigger some mechanism and cause another explosion, the door of the telephone booth slowly opened a crack due to the wind.
I can already smell the smell of blood.
What happened
Seeing that there seemed to be no danger and the door was not locked, the police carefully opened the door with tools, and then they gasped at the scene in the phone booth.
The man who had just been on the phone was leaning against the door, his head resting on the phone. His body had not yet rotted, and his deceased appearance could be clearly seen - exactly the same as on the wanted poster.
"That's impossible. He was on the phone just now, and now he's... dead?"
Such a weird way to die.
Who killed such a horrible criminal? This question cannot be over-thought.
The police looked at each other in bewilderment, and finally surrounded the man carefully. After making sure there was no danger, they put the man into a body bag.
They need to confirm the identity of the other party again.
After comparing the autopsy results with the bloody gauze found at the scene that day, it was confirmed that it was the same person. However, another suspect emerged.
According to the autopsy results, the deceased had been dead for about four hours when the operator received the call, and the fingerprints on the receiver definitely belonged to the deceased.
So... who's calling
Who killed him
In any case, after this incident, the explosions, which used to occur at least seven or eight times a day, suddenly stopped. In order to calm people's hearts, the police announced that the perpetrators of the bombings had been arrested.
The murderer's name is: Lu Yanli.
"Lu Yanli? Is he Lu Yanli?" The first batch of mission members found it hard to believe the result.
After their residence was blown up, they discussed living separately, but for some reason the top few people still chose to live together. Seeing this, the others who were unsure in their hearts did not dare to leave.
Lin Chu was different, she was under control and couldn't leave even if she wanted to.
"Now that Police Officer Lu Yanli is under control, do we need to complete the first mission now?" This means they need to sneak into the police station.
Jiang Yu: "Not for now. Now that we know his true identity, it's okay to kill him. It might cause some strange events. If he escapes, the police will make it public."
"The most important thing now is to find the missing person."
When it comes to missing persons, everyone becomes a little disappointed.
No matter how they investigated these days, there was no progress and no direction. Especially since the population of the town had dropped sharply due to the bombing, it made their investigation more difficult.
"We've looked through all the electronic files at the police station, and there haven't been any missing persons cases in recent years." Ling Tong slammed the table hard, "Damn it, there's not even a hint. Who knows who's missing?"
Ximen Yuan said: "Now I think we should pay attention to the new group of people entering the town." He looked directly at Jiang Yu, "Don't you think they came from the same place as us?"
Although those people only said that they were from outside the town, he intuitively felt that something was wrong.
Di Ying: "They must be on a mission, but..." After a moment's silence, she asked everyone's questions, "Why would a mission require people to enter in batches?"
"Moreover, those people are unwilling to admit their identities or explain what their mission is." Tan Xu added
"Then there is only one possibility. Their mission requirements need to be kept confidential. Moreover, it is very likely different from ours."
"In fact, Jiang Yu has already said this, hasn't he?" Ximen Yuan suddenly mentioned the opposite word, "There is no pattern to the missions now. Wasn't it the same for us at the beginning? There were only more than 30 people in the first batch, and then there were 20 more people added."
Thinking of the possible hidden meaning behind this, everyone fell silent.
"Now, let's think about the cultural festival first. We specifically asked, and the townspeople are sure they are planning to hold a cultural festival." Jiang Yu added, "Everyone should try to integrate into this town, otherwise, you may be rejected and unable to participate."
This matter was brought up a long time ago, and everyone had to find a job. Some of the more ordinary jobs had been divided up by the group of outsiders, leaving only some unusual jobs that were prone to strange incidents.
Jiang Yu: "I found a clinic." In reality, he is a doctor, so it is no problem for him to help small clinics.
Ximen Yuan: "There is a library in the south of the town. I decided to go there."
Tan Xu quickly took notes with a pen, and others also began to talk about their gains, some planning to be a web editor, some working in a supermarket, some working in a funeral home, crematorium, cemetery, etc.
"Lin Chu, what about you?" After a round, only Lin Chu was left.
Lin Chu shuddered: "I heard that a theatre troupe is looking for someone. I can sing, so I'll go."
"Theater troupe?" Ximen Yuan thought of something. "Maybe it was when we sent Jiang Baili there that day that we ran into the troupe?"
"Yes." Lin Chu looked shy, and it seemed that she still had a good impression of Jiang Bai.
"When you go there, remember what you should do and what you shouldn't do." Ximen Yuan said.
Then, they arranged for Qiu Zhi to go with them to monitor Lin Chu.
Anyone could have tried to instigate Lin Chu to rebel or kill him, except Qiu Zhi. He would not lie, and even if Lin Chu lied to him, they only needed to question Qiu Zhi a few more times to find out the truth.
"Jiang Bai, I found five people today, and they all said they would come to ask tomorrow. I'll trouble you then." Jin Fugui's voice had recovered a little, but it was still hoarse and he couldn't speak normally, let alone sing.
Jiang Bai nodded and agreed.
A group of people are walking in the school.
Lu Yanli wanted to know the source of the green light that night, but it was indeed dangerous to roam around at night, so he decided to come and take a look during the day.
Jin Fugui was still very scared, but he couldn't persuade Jiang Bai. Now, the only one who could save him was Jiang Bai. In addition, he wanted to see his children for the last time and collect their bodies, so he followed.
I don't know if it was a psychological effect, but that day seemed like a piece of shiny glass that could not be wiped clean no matter how hard you tried. The campus was gloomy in broad daylight, and a cold wind blew from time to time, blowing up the dead leaves.
Slowly, they came to the playground.
Jin Fugui's whole body was tense, and Lu Yanli was also on high alert, walking step by step through the tree-lined path.
In the grove, the moist soil was breathing in, mixed with a faint stench of decay.
Strange... those lights, are they gone
The further they went in, the darker it became. Finally, they passed through the grove surrounding the outer circle and stepped into the playground.
As soon as he entered, Jin Fugui was shocked.
Across the playground, a dozen bodies were neatly hung on a tree. They were all wearing school uniforms and looked like students. The wind blew gently, and the bodies swayed gently.
"Do we still want to go now?" Jin Fugui asked almost silently.
It was still morning, but the sky was getting darker, and the wind was blowing harder and harder. As a result, the bodies were shaking more violently.
It looks like... it's going to fall from the tree soon.
"Leave quickly." Jiang Bai said in a low voice.
They ran out quickly.
Another gust of strong wind blew, and the rope tied to one of the bodies seemed to be unable to bear the weight. It swayed and finally broke.
The body fell to the ground.
Slowly, the corpse with a purple face and bulging eyes began to move, its limbs twisting constantly, its long hair dragging on the ground, getting longer and longer. It crawled forward step by step.
Behind it, another body fell.
Maybe it was because it was not dark yet, everyone ran out of the school gate smoothly and walked on the quiet and desolate road towards the school.
"Tell me, when can I go in again? I still have to collect the bodies of those little bastards at home." Jin Fugui wiped his tears, "These two little guys hate going to school the most. I have to... pick them up."
"Don't go there for now, let's live somewhere else." Although the town is not safe now.
Just after he finished saying this, Lu Yanli realized that something was following him. He turned his head secretly and exchanged glances with the person behind him.
Afterwards, Jin Fugui fainted.
"Something went wrong. Anyway, another person from the future came and killed us on May 1st." Across from him, Lu Yanli, who had a scar on his face and a long axe on his back, pointed at his own eyes and said, "It was hiding inside and we killed it. Now, I don't know where it has gone."
Lu Yanli was surprised: "The police report said it wasn't you?"
"No, it was supposed to be me. I had an accident and it suddenly left my eye for some reason." Lu Yanli said with a scar on his face, "It was around 3:00 last night. What did you do at that time?"
"Listening to music." Lu Yanli repeated the story in detail.
For a moment, everyone was silent.
"So, it means that I have to end everything on May 1st." Otherwise, according to this timeline, he will die on May 1st, and then go back to the past, experience a new round of history that will change him and kill him again. He will never be able to break out of this vicious circle.
"We don't have much time left." said Lu Yanli with scars on his face.
After saying that, he turned and left.
He couldn't remind himself more, as long as he knew he could successfully survive the Day of Death.
Not long after he left, Jin Fugui slowly woke up, covering his head.
Somewhere in the town, a blood-red figure slowly emerged.
More than a dozen corpses in school uniforms crawled out from the school gate. They slowly dispersed and no one knew where they went.
In the mall, a worker was busy doing the accounting. Behind her, cracks gradually appeared on the face of a plastic model.
In the basement morgue of the hospital, a strange sound of movement was heard.
Throughout the town, the weirdness began to revive again!
