Yin Lian and Lu Ning each lay on the same bed, rested for a while, and talked about their own affairs.
"I feel like I have forgotten a lot of things, but they are just fragments. My parents are very good to me. When I was a child, I didn't like sports, so they took me to art exhibitions to learn Go. In short, everything depends on me. I am scared to think about it now. They spoiled me rotten." Lu Ning smiled unconsciously as she thought of the past, "Later on, I did get better at playing chess. Not only did I get better at Go, but I also became better at chess and the like. I participated in several I won the first prize in the competition, and they put my trophy in the most conspicuous place in the living room, and they would praise it when guests came, which made me feel embarrassed later and secretly moved the trophy to the bedroom."
"They are really good parents." Yin Lian said with emotion.
"Yes, they were very worried when I went to college. I think... I am probably the kind of child who grew up in happiness. The chess teacher taught me to concentrate, and the calligraphy and painting teacher taught me to nourish my energy. It seems that everyone They all treat me very well."
As Lu Ning spoke, she suddenly turned her head, the expression on her face was unprecedentedly serious.
"Sister Yin Lian, do you understand? Even if it is for my parents, teachers and friends, I have to live. I must not die here if I leave this haunted place."
"None of us want to die here." Yin Lian said firmly.
Lu Ning smiled: "Sister Yin Lian also has something she can't let go of, right?"
"Of course, didn't I say that? Our company is about to go public. It is a business that we started slowly when we were college students. During this period, many people left and many people came, and we endured many hardships before we became what we are now. In this way, now the fruits are about to bear fruit, and I have to go back to pick them."
"When I go back, I want to take a look at the products of Sister Yin Lian's company. What do you do?"
"Communication equipment... we have some cooperation with the military."
When Yin Lian talked about this, her face became more radiant.
"Although it was a coincidence, the connection with the military that time also demonstrated the strength of our products, and it saved a lot of trouble."
"It sounds like Sister Yin Lian is also involved."
"Well, but this is within the confidentiality regulations, I won't say more - Lu Ning, that's all about going back." Yin Lian suddenly interrupted the topic, "Dwelling on the past will not help us now, let me ask you , if you mention a place like an ancient house and mansion, what will you think of first if the owner hides any secrets?"
Lu Ning was stunned, and her mind started to move quickly: "Basement? Safe? Password? Secret room?"
"Yes, we have found nothing so far except an exposed basement. But I don't believe there are no secrets here."
"But... shouldn't I say this to everyone? Only when there are many people..."
"I'm not a selfless person, Lu Ning." Yin Lian interrupted her, "Like everyone here, I want to be one of the last people alive. Gather everyone from the beginning, divide into groups, and lead the team to take action It’s because this is the only way to avoid chaos and give us a greater chance of survival.”
"Did you believe what it said from the beginning?"
"I take it seriously, otherwise I would be joking with my own life."
"If this is really a prank..."
"...I won't lose anything. Besides, I know it's not true now, right. Lu Ning, although I have said this a lot, the law of ghost killing is still not clear. Maybe there is no law. I can't guarantee that nothing will happen to me. , so I try to talk to you as much as possible, which can be considered as conveying my thoughts on the future."
Lu Ning frowned: "Why did you suddenly say such an unlucky thing?"
"Because... things may be more serious than I thought."
At this moment, there were suddenly chaotic footsteps in the corridor outside, and many people were shouting loudly. Yin Lian quickly sat up from the bed, listened attentively, and then sighed.
"problem occurs."
The door of a room three rooms away from Lu Ning and the others was already crowded with people. Two men dressed as singers in Yu Zhisong's team stopped people outside the room. Only when they got closer could they see Yu Zhisong's face was as sinking as water in the room. Standing at the end of the small corridor entering the door, his expression was no longer as relaxed as before.
"That woman is dead." The upstart said coolly, and was immediately grabbed by the collar.
"People are dead and you still say sarcastic words!"
This was the last person in Yu Zhisong's team. He was a tall boy with some acne on his face. He was not very talkative. When he stood up, Lu Ning discovered that his face and eye circles were red.
"what happened?"
Yin Lian's voice had some effect on stabilizing the morale of the soldiers. Yu Zhisong heard him wave to the two people at the door to let Yin Lian and Lu Ning in, and then they saw what was inside the room.
The only young woman in Yu Zhisong's team, the young man who had cooked for everyone before, fell on the bed with a frightened and desperate face. She was wearing a large bathrobe provided in the room, and her throat was cut with a huge Blood was still pouring out from the tear, and a sharp razor blade fell next to it. There was also a small cosmetic bag in her hand. The lipstick, eyebrow pencil, small mirror and other things in it seemed to have been left on the bed in a panic. And on the floor, there were visible signs of a moment of struggle.
"Yes, is it true that if we wear this bathrobe, will we die if we wear it?"
"She was fine when she left, why was she targeted by a ghost!"
"Stop making noise!" Yu Zhisong suddenly roared.
After everyone was quiet for a moment, the voices became louder.
"Why are you so mean! You can't protect your companions either!"
"Who can blame you for your arrogant behavior?"
"We haven't confirmed that it was a ghost killing yet. How did you identify it so quickly?" Yu Zhisong's face turned cold. He was very familiar with this scary thing, and now that he said it, people were immediately stunned.
"What...what do you mean?" a follower of the upstart asked tremblingly.
"The door is unlocked, and the bathrooms in every room are equipped with razors. Anyone who comes in can commit a crime. How do you know this is the work of ghosts? What if someone thinks she has some treasure on her and wants to kill her and seize the treasure?" Yu Zhisong sneered, "I won't let you in just to prevent someone from destroying the scene. If a human commits a crime, he must leave some evidence behind. Let me know when the time comes... No need to do anything, I will kill him myself!"
His words were so ferocious that even if someone suspected them, they would not dare to say them out now.
"Yu Zhisong, control yourself."
"Yes, this time it is most likely done by ghosts."
Yin Lian and Lu Ning stopped Yu Zhisong's impulsive behavior.
Now only their words could make Yu Zhisong calm down. After a while, he heard his somewhat dull response: "What should I say?"
"The hair was still wet. He was indeed killed after returning from a bath. The cause of death was a slit of the throat. It was done when he was changing into a bathrobe and preparing to put on makeup again, but judging from the wounds, it was done by someone else."
"A ghost did it? Can you tell from this?"
It's not that Yu Zhisong doesn't believe Lu Ning, it's just that the amount of information this time is a bit large.
"That's not true." Lu Ning pointed to the deceased's right hand, "Her lipstick fell here and the mirror fell there, indicating that she was right-handed. The blade was also near the right elbow, and the wound on her neck was from From the left to the right, from deep to shallow, one stab to the end. This is actually more consistent with the scars of suicide, but she has no reason to commit suicide, right? Then the only explanation I can explain is that the ghost possessed her and drove her to commit suicide, and then left before she died. That’s the explanation.”
"You mean... ghosts possess people when they kill people?"
"Another piece of evidence is that Lu Ning and I have been in a nearby room before. The soundproofing effect here is not very good. If someone really comes to kill, it is impossible not to hear any movement - at least there will be screams. ?" Yin Lian added.
"But if you cover your mouth..."
Lu Ning sighed and asked Yin Lian to sit on another bed. He pinched his right hand and gestured: "Even if you want to cover your mouth and sit on the edge of the bed, if you want to make it easier, you have to approach from behind. With your left hand, Cover your mouth and cut your throat with your right hand - not to mention that the wounds caused by this method should be from shallow to deep. It is very difficult to attack like this without being noticed with a bed that is about half a meter wide, and it can also prevent the other party from making any noise. Any movement is really unlikely.”
Unless you are someone who has practiced kung fu or is proficient in fighting - Lu Ning did not say this.
Yu Zhisong seemed to be convinced.
"Sorry, her death is not meaningless. At least we know that this ghost can possess people and prevent people from making sounds before they die." Yin Lian comforted him.
"So scary? How should we deal with it? Isn't it invincible?" White-collar workers screamed outside.
"You still have to ask? Hug together - stare at each other! If anyone makes any move, hold him down!" The grumpy man curled his lips with a look of disdain.
Although the words were rough, this was indeed the way Lu Ning thought of dealing with it.
"Oh... thank you very much." Yu Zhisong shook his head and let the two people at the door come in.
"Allow me to say a few words. It seems like you have known each other before? If we had just met each other, we probably wouldn't have reached this point." Lu Ning saw the sad look on each of their faces and couldn't help but ask.
"We are alumni..." Yu Zhisong pointed to the two people, "Yang Na helped their band write a lot of songs. I can be considered their investor. Although they are in different grades, we got together because of a goal. Yang Na is usually a homebody and doesn’t dare to listen to the audience’s reaction to the songs she writes, but she really helped us a lot...shit!”
Yu Zhisong punched the table and gritted his teeth.
After watching Yu Zhisong and others help Yang Na close her eyes, wrap the body in sheets and put it on the bed, Yin Lian and Lu Ning silently retreated. The tall boy at the door had red eyes. Yu Zhisong did not introduce him, but judging from his expression, he probably had a close relationship with everyone.
only……
"Pity."
Only Lu Ning could hear Yin Lian's whisper.
