Zhou Yu knew that Zhang Mumu was still in contact with Zhou Yu, a week after the two separated.
Although it is a holiday, Zhou Yu still goes to the school library regularly, but not frequently. Zhou Yu originally thought that she would have no chance of contacting Zhang Mumu again, so she didn't take too many precautions. As a result, only a week later, Zhang Mumu's name appeared in Zhou Yu's diary as "Mumu", "that child" and other words. Based on Zhou Yu's understanding of Zhou Yu, this kind of title is already a very intimate proof, a level that even roommates may not be able to reach.
Only then did he discover this, and even if Zhou Yu wanted to stop it, it was too late. He frowned and searched among Zhou Yu's recent contacts, and sure enough he found a man named "Gao Dazhuang". Although the chat history was deleted for some reason, if you click on this person's social updates, you will find nothing but snacks and ghost stories.
Zhou Yu looked at the phone screen and thought for a long time. He began to think that it would be good to make Zhang Mumu his first target.
Finally he jumped out of bed and went to the refrigerator to get a can of coffee. The last operation, because he forged Zhou Yu's diary afterwards, luckily did not arouse suspicion, so this time it should not be too difficult.
On the way to school, he asked Zhang Mumu to meet in the cafeteria last time, and the other party agreed without any doubt. In addition to expressing happiness, he also said "there is progress" a little mysteriously.
Zhou Yu didn't want to know what the progress she was referring to, but it was obvious that he had no choice. As soon as Zhang Mumu appeared, he immediately gave him a hug happily: "Zhou Zhou! I have a solution!"
"...let me go first."
Zhou Yu pushed her into the seat next to her and said with a calm expression: "Classmate Zhang, just continue to call me Classmate Zhou."
"Eh? But you said before that Zhou Zhou can also..."
"——What did you mean by the progress you mentioned before?" Zhou Yu asked as if he hadn't heard anything.
"It's about saving female ghosts! I'm very grateful to that girl for helping me teach the bad guys a lesson, but she can't stay in the world forever. She has to be saved and reincarnated as soon as possible. It just so happens that Ah Wei knows an expert and can ask him to save her. .”
After hearing these words, Zhou Yu looked at her steadily. Zhang Mumu also looked back as if waiting for praise.
"...Classmate Zhang, you are serious."
"We can't let her suffer in this world forever."
Zhang Mumu answered in a wise tone. In response, Zhou Yu calmly drank half a can of coffee, and then said: "Classmate Zhang, that incident has nothing to do with the female ghost who committed suicide by jumping off the building. I can guarantee this."
Zhang Mumu tilted his head in confusion.
"This matter has nothing to do with ghosts... No, let's just say it has something to do with it. If that ghost is 'me', what would Classmate Zhang think?"
With a little probing, Zhou Yu asked her calmly. Obviously the other party didn't understand it at all, and just shook his head violently: "Classmate Zhou has a shadow and feet. He can't be a ghost."
"That's just a folklore, right? According to your theory, Classmate Zhang, if ghosts can create hallucinations, they can also create shadows and feet. Even if I am a ghost, Classmate Zhang, you can't tell the difference."
Zhou Yu tried his best to speak in a calm tone. However, Zhang Mumu seemed to smell an unusual atmosphere and showed an uneasy look for the first time.
"Classmate Zhang, have you ever heard of 'body ghosts'? Ghosts hiding in mortal bodies are not afraid of sunlight and cast shadows. Maybe I am this type of ghost."
Zhang Mumu looked at him blankly, and asked a little hesitantly: "Is what Mr. Zhou said true?"
"Who knows? It could be true."
"Then Mr. Zhou, you..."
Zhang Mumu's volume became smaller and smaller, and Zhou Yu couldn't hear what was behind it. After repeating this several times, she finally took a deep breath and said with a very brave attitude: "Why would Classmate Zhou possess someone else's body? It must be an uncomfortable way to die for Classmate Zhou like this, right?"
"Maybe I'm mad at you." Zhou Yu blurted out.
When these words came out of his mouth, he was surprised. He immediately raised his face and said, "None of this matters anymore. In short, please don't pursue the matter about that alley any further. It won't do you any good." . Don’t mention it to your friends again in the future. This is my sincere advice - I don’t want to see you lying in that alley one day.”
After saying these words, he stood up and finally nodded towards Zhang Mumu: "I am serious this time. If you have an accident, Ling Zuntang will not be able to bear it. For the sake of yourself and your family, please let it go... …Classmate Zhang, we are not friends, and there is no need to meet again in the future.”
After saying this, he left without looking back.
As a sub-personality, there's only so much he can do. Even if Zhang Mumu's social account was deleted, Zhou Yu would soon find out and go to the school to ask Zhang Mumu about the situation, which would be self-defeating. It would be safest for both of them only to let Zhang Mumu take the initiative to fade out of Zhou Yu's sight.
He walked out of the school gate and got on the shuttle bus to Yongning Community - it was obviously a ghost cave hiding Shura Purgatory, but it was given such a name. It really seemed like a travesty of integrity.
The street that hides the death alley has the same name as the adjacent community, and is called Yongning Road. During the day, people and cars are passing by, which is a normal urban scene.
Zhou Yu started walking along the road.
Today, he specially dressed Zhou Yu's body to be beautiful. Her satin-like black hair was tied up with ribbons, and her moon-white dress floated like a morning flower in the wind. He likes this image very much, not only because of its beauty, but also because of the convenience of the weapon. The anglerfish that attracts prey in the deep sea must be similarly satisfied with the light-emitting organ on its head.
It was a cloudy day with no rain, which was considered sunny in Migenzhu City, so Zhou Yu did not bring an umbrella. He stopped under the shade of a tree like a girl waiting for a date, looking at the shops opposite from time to time.
The cigarette shop and the bookstore are close together, as if to say, "There are no secrets here."
Of course, this is a lie.
Dusk slowly fell and when the street lights came on, the people and cars disappeared. Because the front and back gates of the community are not on this road, residents returning home from get off work do not go here.
Zhou Yu fell into a trance. He felt that everything in front of him was unrealistic.
In a city full of people, why doesn't anyone go here? Is there some kind of curse attached to the nights here?
Dew dripped from the treetops onto his forehead. He immediately closed his eyes and wiped it away. When he opened his eyes again, the dark alley had appeared.
He stepped into it.
The bloodstains in the alleys covered in vermilion were still bright and bright, with no sign of being washed away by the rain. This could not be traces left more than a month ago, but a crime scene within two weeks. After being witnessed by Cai Ji, the murderer still carried out the massacre without restraint.
That's understandable, because the body couldn't be found anyway. This "Disappearing Alley", which only appears at night, can be called a paradise for killers.
"So……"
He gently wiped the blood stains with his fingers and mumbled unconsciously.
"Today... let's identify the murderer."
