When the three of them returned, their family was shocked.
"Lin Chu, why did Fang Tu die?" Ling Tong couldn't wait and asked first.
Everyone's eyes fell on Lin Chu and Jiang Bai, especially Lin Chu, who shrank back and waved his hands: "It wasn't me, it was the criminal in the bombing case who did it."
Jiang Bai and Qiu Zhi also testified for her. Qiu Zhi put down the corpse on his shoulders and said seriously: "It's not her. I saw it with my own eyes. You shouldn't always wrongly accuse her." After that, he recounted what happened.
"Who is this person?"
Qiu Zhi's character was well known to his family. He was honest and simple-minded, so it was difficult for him to lie. With his testimony, Lin Chu and Jiang Bai's suspicion was immediately cleared.
Only Jiang Yu looked at Lin Chu with a more serious gaze.
Yi Zhenzhen saw Lu Yanli's wife in her dream, and then she died.
Yan Haoyue went to the police station to identify the body and suspected Lin Chu, who was also dead.
Now, Fang Tu is also dead.
Maybe he noticed something
Qiu Zhi's testimony made Jiang Yu even more suspicious of her. He also wanted to know why a bombing suspect would help Lin Chu
Lin Chu shrank back behind Qiu Zhi and whispered, "Thank you. Alas, there is nothing I can do. I know that my behavior is indeed easy to arouse suspicion."
Qiu Zhi understood without her saying anything. Why did this group of people suspect Lin Chu
If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, you would have doubted it.
At the other end of the town, Lu Yanli was resting against the wall.
If nothing unexpected happens, now, anyone who has just entered the town will not be able to fall asleep, because there is a ghost in his eyes.
Now I know that the ghost is myself. I died in the future and was replicated by my other future self through the jade pendant. The self from the future traveled back to the present and brought it with him.
Moreover, the "replica" created by the Pisces jade pendant will subconsciously be close to the original.
The future self told himself this information, and he knew what the other party wanted to do. Otherwise, why did he never appear in front of the self? Because he could not let the other eye see him. Once he saw him, the ghost would definitely chase him.
Lu Yanli now hasn't had a rest for a long time.
So... I need to show my face in front of my past self on purpose, so that your eyes can see me.
Lu Yanli, with burn scars on his face, closed his eyes—all he saw was blood red.
Fruit…
Now, it's your turn to rest.
He can no longer meet his future self, because this ghost is, after all, a replica of himself in the future, and the "body" he wants to find is his future self.
Once encountered, the future person is likely to die!
He changed the medicine for himself, stood up and walked out.
In the small building, Lu Yanli was extremely sleepy, and his haggard expression was not entirely fake. If he could not solve the evil spirit in his eyes, he would never have a rest.
After returning to the room under the pretext of resting, he tentatively closed his eyes.
The blood-red figure in front of me... is gone
Why? What happened today
The shock actually dispelled his sleepiness. After thinking about it, Lu Yanli could only attribute this matter to the fact that he met his future self today.
So, now the ghost is on the other person, right
In any case, the short period of comfort made me relax a lot, and I fell asleep on the bed.
After I fell asleep, a figure sneaked into my room.
The man looked exactly like me, except for a scar on his left cheek. I sprayed more medicine on the mouth and nose of the young man on the bed, and after making sure he was asleep, I searched the room.
But no matter how hard I looked, I couldn't find the flyer.
How could that be? If the flyer wasn't on me, where would I have put it
There was a noisy sound of footsteps at the door, and he immediately hid in the closet in the room.
The person who came was Ximen Yuan, and behind him were Lin Chu and several other taskers.
"Are you sure you took the drug?"
Lin Chu said timidly: "I'm sure, I saw him drink it with my own eyes."
"Very good, don't play any tricks." Ximen Yuan praised her and walked into the room.
Lu Yanli, hiding in the closet, clenched the axe on his back.
This type of person is very vigilant. He does not peek through the crack in the door, but listens attentively.
The reason why Ximen Yuan came was very simple. He saw from the surveillance that he came out of the library. He must have had a reason for going to the library, and maybe he gained something.
"What is this?" Ximen Yuan picked up a book from the bedside table.
It was a picture album with the library's logo on the cover. Ximen Yuan flipped through it carefully but didn't see anything.
Lin Chu's heart trembled violently.
She had seen similar pictures in her last mission, in Shangxian Village, in the underground ancient tomb, there was... there was a painting in the village chief's house.
Could it be that these tasks are related to each other
Who is buried in the ancient tomb
"Jiang Bai's identity is very suspicious. He must have some purpose in taking these books out of the library." Ximen Yuan took the books away.
"Let's look for more clues," Tan Xu said. "It would be best if we could find your ID to prove your identity."
Fortunately, Lu Yanli was well prepared and had burned all the documents long ago, so the group of people searched for a long time but couldn't find anything.
The group searched the house again and again, and found Lu Yanli, who had been sleepless for many days and had been drugged, lying on the bed, unconscious.
A man walked towards the closet, apparently wanting to check it.
Lu Yanli leaned against the wall of the closet, his body tense, ready.
step.
Two steps.
I heard the conversation between the two people.
"Maybe there's nothing in the closet?"
"Just take a look. It's better to be careful. Jiang Bai is a suspicious person."
The man walked to the closet and put his hand on the door.
"Aiya!" Lin Chu cried out, attracting everyone's attention. "Lin Chu, what are you doing again?"
"No, I just wasn't paying attention and sprained it. I'm sorry."
Before Lin Chu could finish his words, the man standing in front of the wardrobe was knocked away by the wheel. With a bang, he flew to the opposite wall and rolled down.
I saw... I saw someone coming out of the closet! This person was clearly the man with a scar on his face on the wanted poster!
"What's wrong?"
At the loud noise, other people in the room rushed in, only to see a figure climbing out the window to escape. Tan Xu and Qiu Zhi climbed out the window without hesitation and chased after him.
Ximen Yuan walked into the room slowly.
"What's going on?" He lowered his head and asked the tasker who was lying on the ground.
The man's name was Guan Zhihua. He pointed at the window blankly and said, "Mr. Ximen, there is a wanted man hiding in the closet. I saw it with my own eyes. It's him! I can't be wrong."
"Really?" Ximen Yuan muttered, and then asked about another unimportant matter, "Did you have any communication with Lin Chu?"
"Lin Chu?" Guan Zhihua was puzzled. "No, it seems like she has no relationship with him."
Lin Chu sobbed: "I told you I really have nothing to do with you..."
"Shut your mouth." Ximen Yuan said softly, "You think we won't do anything to you if Fang Tu isn't here."
Lin Chu covered his mouth in horror.
After checking around, he found nothing except a book, which made Ximen Yuan feel a little unwilling.
The later the mission is, the less clues there are to find, and we have to find all the clues by ourselves. There was an explosion in the town, and no matter how much the residents didn't care about life and death, they were more wary of newcomers, not to mention that once they were asked about the missing persons, they were unwilling to answer.
If this continues, when will we be able to find the missing persons
Ximen Yuan walked back to the bed and looked down at the sleeping man.
He was sleeping soundly, was thin, and had a pale face that looked a little weak. He looked like an ordinary painter.
wrong!
If you are a painter, where are your painting tools? Why is there not even a piece of white paper in your room
What do you rely on to paint
Seeing that his gaze towards Lu Yanli became increasingly gloomy, Lin Chu didn't care. He stood aside with a look of wanting to cry but didn't care in his heart.
She thought the other party must be pretending to sleep at this time, so she didn't say much.
Ximen Yuan looked at the other person for a long time and finally made a decision.
"When Tan Xu and Qiu Zhi come back, we will take you to the site for the sacrifice."
Sacrificial offering…
The flyer had a strange pattern and could not be destroyed no matter what method was used. During the day, they were going to the square where the fire festival was held, but something unexpected happened.
It was as if... they were deliberately not letting me go to offer sacrifice in advance.
Ximen Yuan was very upset, knowing that his decision might be a bit aggressive. But... almost half of the team members were dead, and they still had no clues. If they didn't make some changes, maybe they wouldn't be able to find Lu Yanli and the missing people until the tasker died!
After a while, Tan Xu and Qiu Zhi came back.
Tan Xu's face remained calm as always, but Qiu Zhi's expression darkened. "I didn't catch up with him. He ran very fast. It seemed that he was very familiar with this area."
"I understand." Ximen Yuan didn't say anything, but gave another order.
If Qiu Zhi was asked to kill someone directly, he would definitely not be willing to do so. But now he was just carrying the unconscious Jiang Bai to another place, a place he had also mentioned that he wanted to go to. Qiu Zhi agreed and turned around to carry Jiang Bai on his back.
Lin Chu looked at it and felt that something was wrong.
Is he really asleep or is he pretending
No way
She weakly applied: "Can I go with you?"
But her eyes were not looking at Jiang Bai, but at Qiu Zhi, who looked righteous. At the same time, she reached out and pulled Qiu Zhi's sleeve.
It seemed as if she was reluctant to part with Qiu Zhi because Qiu Zhi had spoken for her.
Ximen Yuan looked at her meaningfully for a few seconds and nodded in agreement.
When we went out, we met another group of people.
Jiang Yu, Di Ying, Ling Tong and others came in from the courtyard gate and were shocked to see Qiu Zhi carrying Jiang Bai. Di Ying asked, "Ximen Yuan, where are you taking him?"
Ximen Yuan: "What's the point of keeping asking around like this? What can you find out? It would be better to make some breakthroughs."
Jiang Yu stretched out his hand to stop him: "Breakthrough? You'd better be careful, or you'll kill us!"
A group of people confronted each other in the yard.
At this moment, the sun was about to set, and the dim glow of the sunset illuminated the courtyard. Jiang Bai was still unconscious and knew nothing about the disputes in the outer world.
Accident happened again.
A small knife fell straight down from the sky at such a fast speed that it flew straight towards Ximen Yuan.
"Be careful!" Ximen Yuan didn't react in time, Tan Xu rushed over and pushed him away. He inserted the knife straight into the gap between the floor tiles, you can imagine how painful it was.
"who?"
Everyone looked up suddenly and saw a man leaning half of his body out from upstairs... This man was the suspect in the bombing!
He actually didn't leave the building at all! He even listened to our conversation in its entirety.
Now, no one doubts "Jiang Bai" anymore.
Lu Yanli carried the axe on his back, climbed onto the roof and started to escape.
The Cultural Revolution Festival is held at the sports square in the southeast of the town, next to which is a school.
Due to the recent numerous bombings, even schools are not immune to them, so the school is giving students a holiday during this period to study at home.
The principal rented out the school's empty dormitories, and a group of people with their belongings moved into the school.
We are a not-so-famous opera troupe, invited by the town to perform. Many people have died in the town recently, and every household is holding a funeral, so our business has improved a lot. But we agreed to perform at the Huaji Festival at the beginning, so the boss decided to live near the Huaji Square first.
"Why is this school so gloomy?" In the theater, Huang Li, who always played the female role, rubbed her arms, feeling a little uneasy.
No wonder I feel uneasy.
The sun was about to set, and the school had no street lights on. Dozens of crows were circling over the playground not far from the entrance. This school was a bit old, and many places were covered with moss and spider webs.
Suddenly there was a cry of a crow, which frightened me so much that I trembled.
"Maybe it's because there's no one here recently due to the holidays? The students have gone home." Huo Gang, who often plays the role of a martial artist, comforted him.
Another person who often plays the clown, Fan Min, winked and said, "Not necessarily. Isn't it said that schools are often built on grave sites? Because students have strong yang energy, which can suppress some unclean things..."
"You must tell me!" Huang Li was terrified. "If you don't tell me, I'll beat you up!"
Fan Min was carrying his luggage and dodged: "Hey! You can't hit me!" Huang Li was so angry that he wanted to pounce again, but was stopped by Huo Gang: "Okay, stop making trouble. Go home and rest early today to take care of your throat."
The boss shook off the cigarette ashes on his hands, and his eyes were filled with sorrow: "Go to the dormitory early, get some rest, and come out in the evening."
After hearing this, the few people stopped making a fuss, picked up their luggage and walked inside obediently.
The dormitory building is at the other end of the school gate. The school occupies a large area and has good landscaping. There are lush shrubs and flourishing trees everywhere. Even before the arrival of spring, the greenery has not diminished at all.
The cool wind blows up the fallen leaves and dust.
Little green fireflies lit up and fluttered. The only girl in the troupe smiled and said, "Wow! Fireflies!"
She turned to her father and asked, "Dad, can I go catch one?"
The boss threw the cigarette butt on the ground and crushed it with his toes: "What bugs are you trying to catch? Go, go back to the dormitory honestly!"
The boss's surname is Jin, and his given name is Jin Fugui. He was born into a martial arts family and has a son and a daughter. His son, Jin Yuanbao, doesn't like reading or singing opera, but loves playing games. His daughter, Jin Cancan, has been influenced by her since she was a child, and although she has no interest in it, she can still sing a few songs.
Jin Cancan said "oh", obviously unhappy, but didn't dare to say anything, kicking pebbles and walking forward.
"It's okay, Cancan. I'll help you catch two and put them in the paper lantern." Jin Yuanbao leaned over and whispered to her.
Jin Cancan suddenly became happy.
We’ve arrived at the dormitory building.
"Isn't this too old? How long has it been since it was repaired?" Jin Cancan couldn't help but complain.
It's no wonder she said that. Although the dormitory building in front of me is tall, the upper floors have long been covered with various stains to the point that it is difficult to tell whether it should be white or beige. There is a lot of dust and cobwebs on the iron railings and doors of the dormitory building.
Before she could move, a mouse quickly crawled past her feet. She screamed in fright and subconsciously hid next to Huo Gang.
Jin Yuanbao put away his phone and prepared to move things, mocking her: "Coward."
"You're a coward! If a mouse crawled near your feet, you would scream louder than me!"
Huo Gang asked in confusion: "Didn't they say that the students had gone home? Why are the lights on in the dormitory building?"
Indeed, there were several places with lights on in the whole building, as if someone was living there.
Jin Fugui said, "The school said that some students live on campus and don't go home, which is good. It's lively and popular." He seemed to be reading a notice and added, "The first, second and third floors are for boys, and the fourth, fifth and sixth floors are for girls. You will live in 305, 306 and 307. Go upstairs, do you hear me?"
"I heard it." A group of young men answered in unison.
"Dad, what about me?" Jin Cancan asked.
"You live in 402. There are two girls living there. You don't have to be afraid to live with them."
"Okay." Jin Cancan's heart settled down. She was timid and it was a bit scary to live in this dormitory building which was surrounded by haunted houses.
Just at this moment, two boys came down from upstairs. One of them was holding a basketball. He saw a group of people standing at the door and was stunned.
"Who are you?"
Jin Fugui forced a smile and said, "Hello, little classmates. We are from the Fugui Opera Troupe, and the school has agreed to let us stay here..."
Before he could finish, the boy holding the basketball yelled, "I know, I know, the teacher said it. Hello, hello, my grandma also likes to listen to opera, and she will probably invite you to sing..."
Another young man wearing glasses interrupted: "Qiangzi, can we help move the things?"
"That's fine."
The two boys helped carry the luggage and enthusiastically introduced a lot of things, which made everyone have a good impression of them and no longer felt that the environment of this building was bad.
At this time, a few more people came to the school gate.
One of the tall men was carrying an unconscious man on his back.
In order to prevent Jiang Bai from waking up and escaping, Jiang Yu injected him with a sedative.
Qiu Zhi refused to steal this thing, so he asked Tan Xu to get it from the hospital.
Lin Chu was very anxious. She was afraid that Lu Yanli would really get into trouble this time, so she shamelessly asked to come with him. When they stood at the school gate, she already felt a chilly breath.
"Let's go."
There was no hotel near the gymnasium, only a school. We heard on the way that a theatre troupe had moved into the school and that there were some students in the school who had not returned home.
Maybe nothing will happen for the time being.
A group of people walked towards the dormitory building.
Another world.
After Chu Xiu left, An Ru struggled to get up from the bed.
Compared with the pain in my body, I feel more confused and lost.
Previously, he thought that Lin Chu had killed An Xingyu, so he had to seek revenge on Lin Chu no matter how difficult it was. But now, he learned that his son's death was most likely caused by a ghost. Not only did it subvert his worldview, but it was also a torture of his conscience.
Do you want revenge
How to take revenge? Who to take revenge on
An Xingyu... Poor child, where is your body
What can Dad do to take you home
"My... my son..." Anru sat on the hospital bed and suddenly lowered his head and cried.
All this running around has turned my hair almost completely white. The nurse felt a little reluctant when she came in. After changing the medicine for me, she gently closed the door and left.
The piercing pain and dizziness emerged in my mind again, and gradually, I seemed to sense something.
There is a voice talking to me.
"Mission... What is the mission?"
Anru closed his eyes and listened carefully.
"This Saturday, let's go to... the downtown aquarium, and then..."
At the same time, many people in this world also received new tasks.
All of us are newcomers!
None of this group of newcomers knew that the previous missions should have been completed in another world, and no one knew that there were other mission takers in this world. They set up a website to communicate with each other, help each other, and use each other.
Without the guidance of the elderly, it is easy for newcomers to regard this as an illusion and ignore it.
But it doesn't matter, there are a lot of people on this mission. Even if some people don't believe the hints from their brains and dreams, it doesn't matter.
Chu Xiu would not know that his accidental action under Lin Chu's instructions actually let them know that a group of pure new taskers had received a task that could be completed in this world!
If it weren't for Anru, perhaps this group of taskers would have to go through several more tasks before they could find the website, or perhaps they would have died, and no one would have known about it.
An Ru now had no idea how shocking this incident would cause. He just wondered, was this the task his son had once done
How much have you experienced
An Ru pulled out the needle and walked out of the room.
Find an Internet cafe, log in according to the website provided by Chu Xiu, patiently register an account according to the steps, and then publish this matter in full.
It was almost dawn. Lin Chu, Jiang Yu, Di Ying, Ximen Yuan and others from the other world were gathering at the location required by the mission, preparing to go to another world.
We didn't go to the website to check it out, so we lost a clue that might have helped us decipher the truth about the world.
Chu Xiu was paying close attention and stayed at the mission location without entering.
Because this mission is to kill Lu Yanli, and I think it is impossible to complete it. For the final outcome, we cannot complete it.
Therefore, I admire Lin Chu's almost suicidal behavior very much.
HabitOpen the phone, log in to the website and browse.
Gradually, my eyes widened...
"Finally, we've cleaned up." Jin Cancan brushed off the dust on her body and said happily, "Let's go eat something? My parents must have prepared something delicious."
"Okay, okay."
The two girls in the same dormitory took action, put on their slippers, took their lunch boxes and went downstairs together.
After they left, the toilet door, which was half-open, slammed shut.
But at this moment, there was no wind.
The girls didn't hear anything and walked away. Before they reached the first floor, they smelled a fragrance.
"Dad! What good things did you make?" Jin Cancan rushed over with a smile. Jin Yuanbao handed her a bowl and played games with his other hand: "We're having spicy hot pot tonight. I want fish tofu. You pig, leave some for me."
"Pah! I ate it!"
They like to eat the same things, so they often fight over food.
Jin Fugui connected a power strip to the induction cooker. The bubbling marinade in the pot was emitting an aromatic aroma, and the ingredients were rolling around in it. There were no skewers, so he had to use chopsticks to pick them up.
Jin Cancan grabbed a bunch of fish tofu and put it in her bowl. Jin Yuanbao wanted to snatch it from her, and the two of them came to the door fighting and almost bumped into a tall man.
"Oh, sorry." Jin Cancan apologized subconsciously. When she saw that the fish tofu in the bowl was not spilled, she breathed a sigh of relief and looked up and asked, "You guys..."
Before she could finish her words, her eyes were drawn to the unconscious man being carried by someone, and she stared at him blankly for a long time.
Qiu Zhi was carrying Jiang Bai on his back and was almost knocked down. He glanced at the people and said, "Are you guys staying at the school? So are we. My name is Qiu Zhi."
Tan Xu followed behind him and said, "There is no us, only you." Then he pointed at the unconscious man on Qiu Zhi's back and said, "My name is Jiang Bai. I will stay at the school. Please take care of me."
Qiu Zhi found an empty seat and put Jiang Bai down. The other party was still in a coma. If it weren't for his breathing and heartbeat, Qiu Zhi almost thought he was dead.
Tan Xu put Jiang Bai's backpack beside him and nodded to the others: "Thank you for your help."
A group of people took over an unconscious man for unknown reasons.
