The town where Lu Ning is located is called Huilongbao, which sounds quite majestic. It is also one of the better developed towns among the nearby towns. Although it is not as good as Gengwu City, some residential areas and consumer centers have been built. Various cultural and recreational activities have gradually boosted some local economies. In addition, being located at a transportation hub, it can also benefit from the tourism industry.
Lu Ning walked to the bustling Panlong Entertainment Plaza, where there were many people shopping even in winter. Dining and entertainment are in the two main buildings here, and there are various businesses lined up along the streets. In short, if you can't find something here, you have to go to the city.
As the Chinese New Year approaches, some temporary sheds have been set up on both sides of the road, and some vendors selling special items such as couplets, Chinese characters for blessings, and firecrackers are also seizing this business opportunity. There seemed to be no ban on firecrackers here yet. Lu Ning looked over and found that there were quite a lot of people buying them.
But is this thing useful in exorcising ghosts? Lu Ning still doesn't know how the supernatural in this world is constituted. In ancient legends, firecrackers are often compared to inventions used to drive away monsters and ghosts. If those supernatural events come from people's word of mouth, these things At least it works a little, but if not...it's a waste.
After thinking for a few seconds, Lu Ning decided to buy things that he would definitely use first.
She walked into the shopping mall building and first found herself a pair of running shoes that were light and flexible enough, then hiking clothes and pants. In addition, she also bought a very durable backpack with a hanging part on it. Some small tools are within reach. Lu Ning only picked famous brands, and Li Wenyue had enough money to spend whatever she wanted.
Then she came to the Electrical Appliance City on the third floor.
These days, if you want to see a ghost, you don’t have to have someone present. Video cameras and cameras can perform long-term recording or trigger shooting without any problem. Lu Ning can even prepare several monitors to capture the appearance of ghosts from all angles. ——As long as it can be photographed. Even at night, infrared photography technology has long been popularized. She even ordered three drones, which is probably the biggest expense today.
Then came the medicine and some gadgets.
Multi-functional axe, bright flashlight, night vision device, glow stick, hot patch, brain-awakening medicine, emergency spray... Although Lu Ning has very little experience in supernatural scenes, she has read a lot. It is impossible to prepare things that are completely targeted when facing various ghosts, but there are many things that are quite versatile and easy to use - such as fluorescent paint, which can leave their mark on physical ghosts and people who pretend to be ghosts. Traces; there is also a recording button. This simplified radio device can record the surrounding sounds for the next ten minutes when pressed. It is more flexible than a bug and is less likely to be counter-tracked.
Lu Ning's new bag was quickly filled, and she also carried several shopping bags in her hands. She already felt a little tired at this time...so the physical strength of this body was still a problem.
Taking the elevator to the food floor on the fifth floor, where many different restaurants operate, Lu Ning hadn't decided where to take a break. At this moment, she was lightly tapped on the shoulder.
"Huh?" Lu Ning turned around suddenly, and the person behind him was also startled - he really jumped back.
This is a short-haired girl with several strands of yellow highlights. She is wearing a somewhat old men's leather jacket. She is still wearing a pair of ripped jeans on such a cold day. She has a licorice stick in her mouth. You can see I wore very thick eye shadow.
"Is it really you, on vacation?"
Lu Ning was stunned for a moment and pulled this person out of her memory - Teng Xuan, Li Wenyue's very good friend in high school. She dropped out of school after her second year of high school. Li Wenyue had just lost her grandparents at that time and didn't pay special attention to her. Where did it go.
"Teng Xuan? I..."
"Okay, I heard about your family." Before Lu Ning could explain, Teng Xuan added, "I originally thought that you, a rich kid with no worries about food and clothing, must be very happy. I didn’t expect that something bad could happen to anyone’s family. Later, when you went to college, I didn’t know where you went.”
"...How is your life?"
"What a piece of shit." Teng Xuan bared her teeth. It was obvious that she had been hanging out in the streets for a long time, but her attitude towards Li Wenyue did not change at all.
"Let's have a meal, I'll treat you." Lu Ning adhered to the mentality that meeting him was no accident, and planned to catch up with this old friend.
"That's good. I know you are a rich woman." Teng Xuan was not polite. The two of them originally got along in the same way. Li Wenyue was responsible for spending money and Teng Xuan was responsible for beating people.
After finding a shop selling grilled fish and ordering food, the two chatted about the past.
"Actually, I also asked about you, but I don't know where you went, and your house was locked." This was something Li Wenyue had indeed done, so Lu Ning said it.
"The house has been foreclosed, but the debt collectors here are not as gentle as those in big cities. Our old man was even put in a sack." Teng Xuan leaned on the soft seat of the hotel with a look of comfort on his face, "But his virtues and those people I was probably afraid of being beaten to death, so I gave him a warning. After the house was repossessed by the creditor, the old man took me to a bathhouse that cost ten yuan a night. It was only then that I learned that all the boys in the school tried to stop the juniors from stealing money. They’re a bunch of versatile guys.”
"...What did you see?"
"I've seen all kinds of fights except that no one died. You don't know how exciting it is... Forget it, a young lady like you shouldn't even look at that kind of thing." Teng Xuan grinned evilly, "But it's also a good thing. , the old man almost had his fingers chopped off before he realized he was afraid. Now he travels long distances to pay off his debts, and although he is a little tired, he still makes a decent living."
"What about you?" Lu Ning knew that Li Wenyue didn't care what happened to Teng Xuan's father. She would only consider her friend's current situation.
"One day counts as a day. There are still some people doing private work here in Longbao. I occasionally follow them to collect money and beat people to collect debts. When I have nothing to do, I find a part-time job in a restaurant or clothing store or something like that. , I will never die of hunger." Teng Xuan took a very open-minded view, "The old man can't be counted on, just don't die on his own. Every time he comes back from a trip, he still asks me what I need and wants to give me money...what did he do long ago. "
"You're not doing well either." Lu Ning shook her head.
"It's not that good compared to you." Teng Xuan scratched his chin, "Tell me about you, how did you live after your grandparents were gone?"
"That's it. I didn't study well, but I can go to university if I have money, so I went to Gengwu University. You know my parents don't come back even once a year, and no one goes to Zhuxiang when I'm gone. At least your dad is still there I really love you, I’m almost like a loner now.”
"So every family is in a mess. I have gotten over it, but you haven't, so in my opinion you are more unlucky." Teng Xuan shrugged her shoulders, "How is college life? You are now... …How old are you?”
"It's been three and a half years since my junior year." Lu Ning sighed, "I still have to think about what to do after graduation. Although my parents have businesses, they have never asked me to visit their businesses, so maybe I didn’t think about inheriting it for me.”
"Hmph, it's okay to find a serious job as a college student anyway." Teng Xuan also sighed with Lu Ning.
At this time, Lu Ning's phone vibrated in her pocket. She took it out from her pocket and found that less than three hours had passed, and the second person had already posted the second paragraph of Solitaire. However, this paragraph did not follow the beginning of the previous one, but started a new one. story.

Wang Zhongnan was actually very worried when he saw the Solitaire story. He knew that many of his classmates had unknown pasts, and some were even quite cruel.
As a student who has been interested in various suspense detective themes since junior high school, Wang Zhongnan conducted a little investigation on some classmates he was curious about. During this investigation, he discovered a surprising truth - the past experiences of many people. They are all connected, and some tragedies are even induced by someone. This made him suspect that even the formation of this society was premeditated. It's just that the person is hidden very deep, and he can't figure out who it is from the part of the information he has.
And is this story another opportunity? After all, it started out like something that just hit the head, and everyone accepted it as a matter of course.
With doubts, Wang Zhongnan opened his notes and planned to take advantage of this winter vacation to investigate the matter. He didn't expect to be able to expose the mastermind behind it, but he at least hoped to give other students a warning.
At the same time, Li Wenyue opened the dim sum shop of Tang Haiyao, a good friend who lives in Gengwu City.
Li Wenyue, who comes from a wealthy family, rarely touches various types of ghost stories, so she is a little overwhelmed in this solitaire. When Lu Jiangyang in the group loudly announced that he was going on a field trip, Li Wenyue started to become competitive again. She wanted to discuss with her best friend whether she should also set out to find some supernatural places to collect materials. Tang Haiyao originally felt depressed about doing business in the store every day, but she agreed when she met Li Wenyue's suggestion, and the two began to discuss where they should go.
They didn't notice that since Li Wenyue entered the city, a mysterious person had quietly followed her...
In the end, Li Wenyue and Tang Haiyao decided to go to Micheng, which is a small town located in the southwest of Gengwu City. It is relatively isolated because of the uneven terrain. The reason why the two chose this place is that Micheng was included in the information of several APPs. Many supernatural events happen, and you will definitely gain a lot if you go there.
[Uploader, autumn has passed]

The text is not long, and according to Lu Ning's reading speed, it can be read in a few dozen seconds. In addition to giving a little background to the detective role of Wang Zhongnan, this entire article consists of her and Tang Haiyao. At this time, there are also people in the group Several messages jumped in succession.
[11-way supercar]: Picked up so quickly?
[Koco]: This time, I directly CUE Li Wenyue and Tang Haiyao, and I even sent them to Secret City.
[Colorful Colors]: So the detective appears and I, the murderer, are still far away?
[Autumn is over]: Sorry, I’m not very good at writing, so I just found something I could write about and tried it, and it passed directly... I don’t know much about Wen Yue and Hai Yao’s family, so I hope I won’t offend.
【海天线】: It’s just a game, it’s okay to make up the parts you don’t understand. But I’m not very good at writing this plot. I don’t have time to go to Secret City to find out what it’s like right now.
[Game Black Hole]: It doesn’t matter, you can find someone else to start a group with squinting eyes
"What's going on? Are you looking so fascinated?" Teng Xuan didn't care that Lu Ning was looking at her phone temporarily. She was already picking up vegetables with chopsticks and eating. Lu Ning put down her phone: "Teng Xuan, you know there is something here back at Longbao There’s no special legend? It’s like being haunted or evil, or something like that?”
"That's not something you say everywhere. Today, the neighbors said that Lao Zhang and his eldest child were possessed by evil spirits. Tomorrow, Xiao Wang got lost at night and said that it was a ghost breaking into the wall. People here, especially the older generation, still like to talk about this. I went there before The family that had to pay the debt happened to have a relative come over, and they actually said that there was a problem with the orientation of the tombstone at home, which led to the heavy debt..."
"Anyway, there is a club in our university. A group of friends organized a story competition and drew lots to decide to write about supernatural events." Lu Ning summarized the matter in three sentences, and Teng Xuan also had a clear look on her face, "What's the matter? I'll tell you a few stories. Is this just a meal payment?"
"How about I pay to hire you." Lu Ning said.
Teng Xuan slipped his chopsticks and dropped them on the table: "Li Wenyue, I treat you as a friend. If I eat your meal, I can help you beat someone up in return. If you want to pay me to hire me, I can't help you." What's the matter?"
"You also saw that I bought a bunch of things just for a field trip. It depends on whether you have the courage. How about I give you five hundred yuan a day for food and accommodation."
Teng Xuan visibly swallowed. She is really not rich, and Lu Ning also puts the amount just on the acceptance line of her friends - five hundred a day is of course an exaggerated salary for her, but it is also a friend's face and this matter is similar to day labor. money.
"You really want to go out and investigate those ghosts just to write something? It sounds like a wealthy person has nothing to do..."
"Just think of yourself as a rich man with nothing to do. But let me tell you beforehand, I just thought of it as having fun at first, but these things our president sent me look a bit unusual. Even if there are no ghosts in them, I'm afraid there are also people who are causing trouble." Lu Ning said seriously.
"Tsk, I did it." Teng Xuan gritted his teeth, "Anyway, I've done this kind of thing like breaking down doors in the middle of the night, isn't it just because I'm brave? I only have the courage left."
"Okay, we will set off tomorrow. The target will be notified to you later. How can I contact you?"
"I still have a broken mobile phone." Teng Xuan took out an old-fashioned flip phone from his pocket, "I can still send text messages, so I can use this to keep in touch."
After finalizing a teammate to go with her, Lu Ning carried her things and went home. The journey alone made her sweat profusely. So she turned on the computer and went straight to the bathroom to take a quick shower.
The computer was turned on, and all the software that was started were automatically logged in, and the chat group had returned to silence. A message pops up out of the blue, only to be quickly deleted before anyone notices it.
