"I know you are doubting my identity, but please don't hang up the phone!" Liu Guo's voice did not make a request. On the contrary, it gave Jiang Cheng the determination to leave an orphan on his deathbed.
"Huh——, Huh——" Liu Guo stabilized for a moment and continued: "You don't have to speak, just listen to me. I think this letter sent to Room 0 is very important. It may be a clue, but I I’m not sure if opening this letter will cause any changes.”
"Please remember." Liu Guo took a deep breath. "If I die, you must be careful. There is also Wei Jinting. I think there must be something wrong with one of them. That Room 0... also has something wrong!"
"Okay, now I'm going to open this letter. The recipient is Lin Chen. The sender's name has been blacked out, but the address is a place called Hezong Cultural Group."
Jiang Cheng turned around and glanced at the fat man. Soon, the fat man found a pencil, and Jiang Cheng casually took the book next to the phone that recorded the numbers.
In the blank space, the name Hezong Cultural Group was written down.
A crisp tearing sound came, and a few seconds later, Liu Guo's voice sounded again: "I opened the letter, and inside...it looks like the first draft of a comic."
Suddenly, Liu Guo seemed to notice something, and his breathing suddenly became rapid, "How could this happen?"
Along with doubts, Jiang Cheng heard the sound of turning papers very quickly. It seemed that Liu Guo had discovered something that surprised him.
Jiang Cheng remained silent, but the fingers holding the phone relaxed and tightened inadvertently.
"This is the first draft of a comic created by Lin Chen!" Liu Guo said excitedly: "It contains all kinds of urban weird stories."
"The first ghost story is called the Hunchback Man. It talks about a ghost who specializes in jumping on people's shoulders when they bend down."
"As the plot develops, that person's back will be bent more and more, and the bones in his body will become more and more painful. From a distance, he looks like a hunchback."
"The second ghost story is called the shadow that cannot be seen directly. The ghost cannot be looked directly at. You can only hear its footsteps, and where it passes, the light will be deprived little by little, and all the lights will be silent. The extinguishing of breath.”
Liu Guo's voice became faster and faster, although he could feel that he was deliberately controlling his emotions.
He flipped through it quickly and interpreted it.
"The name of the third ghost story is called Gap. It is a voyeuristic ghost. It may exist behind every gap, behind the door, under the bed, on the sofa, in the wardrobe, on the bookshelf... and it will come from behind. From far to close, getting closer to you little by little, until you can't bear it anymore and your emotions break down, then they will attack you."
"The fourth weird story is called wig..."
"The fifth strange story is called Nails in the Drawer..."
Unlike Liu Guo's excited mood, Jiang Cheng was unusually quiet.
Hua Luo held her breath. As Liu Guo told the story, lights flashed in their eyes from time to time.
Right.
All right.
The hunchback in the first ghost story is the ghost that haunts Xu Yi.
The second strange story, the shadow that they could not look directly at, reminded them of the memories of their brother Qiao Yu.
In his recollection, his brother heard footsteps ringing late at night downstairs of the cafe, but he couldn't find anyone.
The third ghost story, Xi, is the ghost hiding in room 503, spying on Wei Jinting.
The fourth ghost story, the wig, Magnolia was killed by it, and was even wrapped into a cocoon in the underground warehouse of the shopping mall.
The fifth strange story, the nails in the drawer, is what happened to Jiao Tailang. Fortunately, like Wei Jinting, he survived.
Jiang Cheng then had a guess. Lin Chen had mentioned those ghosts to Li Maoshen, but Li Maoshen must have used it as a excuse because she was under too much pressure and was nervous, making Lin Chen mistakenly think that only she could see the ghosts, which made her more and more angry. despair.
And when she created alone, she also imbued this despair into her works.
According to Liu Guo, all the people in the works were tortured to death by ghosts without exception.
But before Jiang Cheng could continue thinking, Liu Guo's voice sounded again. He seemed to have seen something he couldn't understand. "No, no!" He said doubtfully: "The letter said that the six characters in the first draft of this comic There are three ghost stories, one of which will not be considered for adoption because the content is too dark. The other five ghost stories can be interviewed at the company after being revised."
Jiang Cheng frowned slightly. There were six strange stories in total...but Liu Guo only mentioned five.
What’s another weird story?
"This ghost story is incomplete!" Liu Guo said: "The front part has been taken away, there should be... there is another ghost story!"
Everyone has a guess that is not a guess. The missing strange story is the most important one.
"Huh--" Liu Guo gasped violently, his lungs like a leaky old bellows. He seemed to be looking around, "That thing is getting closer and closer to me, I can feel it. , but I can’t see it.”
"It's staring at me nearby, maybe... maybe it's behind me. I can't wait any longer. Please remember what I said!"
"I'm going to try to leave now, but I think it's unlikely. In short, I will try my best to hide this letter. If you have a chance to find this letter, you will know the authenticity of what I said." There was a moment of silence. Finally, Liu Guo said: "I hope everyone can survive."
The phone hung up with a bang.
After more than ten seconds, Jiang Cheng slowly put down the phone. The bedroom was very quiet, everyone was weighing and analyzing.
"This Liu Guo..." After a moment, the fat man spoke first.
"I'm afraid it's true." Guan Yuanning said. Nothing could be seen on her expression, but Fatty always felt that she was different from before.
If the call just now was really from Liu Guo, then I am afraid that the situation he is facing is more dangerous than what he said.
Trapped into the past, this ghost possesses astonishing abilities.
And after spending so much effort, I'm afraid it wasn't just to give Liu Guo a clue. There was a high probability that he wouldn't survive.
Liu Guo was a smart man. He must have realized this and passed on the clues at the last opportunity.
I've seen a lot of bad guys in nightmares, and quite a few people have the idea that if I die, I'll drag a few people with me to die with me.
People like Liu Guo are really rare.
"It seems that the problem does lie in Room 0." Chu Jiu thought about it and said, "Li Maoshen must have never expected that Lin Chen would go behind his back and turn the horror stories compiled by the former into urban ghost stories in comics."
"Now I think the focus should be on the missing ghost story." Fatty also said: "Since this ghost story has been taken away, it means there is a problem."
"And if you think about it, the remaining five ghost stories are already terrifying, but the missing ghost story is actually darker than them."
"What on earth is that..." Fatty swallowed uncontrollably and said in a trembling voice, "What kind of weird story is this?"
