After waiting on the side of the road for more than 20 minutes, a taxi finally came over. But when I got in the car and heard the news broadcast inside, I was shocked.
"According to the latest reports, fifteen people were missing in this city yesterday. The specific reasons have not yet been identified. The police will continue to follow up. We hope that the general public will not go out at night or alone. This city..."
"How could this happen? Fifteen people are missing?" I exclaimed inwardly. They disappeared in one day. What happened?
The driver was equally surprised and said to himself, "Oh my god, what happened? So many people disappeared at once this time!"
"This time?" I looked at the driver in confusion and asked, "Master, has someone disappeared before?"
The taxi driver looked at me strangely, "Don't you know? You are a foreigner, right? People have been missing in Hualian City since half a year ago, but it is not serious. In the past six months, there were only six missing people in total. But Unexpectedly, fifteen people disappeared in one fell swoop yesterday. This, this is too scary. What happened? There couldn’t be some terrorists selling organs."
After finishing speaking, the driver looked at the darkness around him warily, fearing that some bad guys might be robberies. He quickly asked me where I was going, then quickly drove away, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
I also felt very uneasy. I had just arrived in Hualian City and had been restless. I really didn’t pay attention to the matter of missing persons.
I looked at the driver and asked again in confusion, "Since people have been missing since half a year, have those people been found? What is the reason for the disappearance? Where have they gone?"
"Hey, what's scary is that I haven't found them. Those people just disappeared out of thin air. It's really weird. I can't tell what happened in Hualian City recently. Plus the haunted incident at the Bohai Pearl Hotel some time ago, it's really noisy. People are terrified.”
The driver took a deep breath and added: "Fifteen people suddenly disappeared yesterday. This, this is simply too scary. I guess no one will dare to go out in the future."
And I couldn't say whether it was a coincidence or something else. After the news broadcast, there was almost no one on the road outside the window, and it was as deserted as death.
The streetlights emitted a dim, half-dead light, making the car I was sitting in look like a hearse driving into a crematorium.
My mood was very solemn and depressing, and it was like one wave after another.
In fact, the moment I heard this news, I subconsciously felt that this disappearance case might be related to the Church of the Evil God.
But I'm not sure. People in cults are like rats and cockroaches living in a dark environment. How dare they make such a big move blatantly? Do they not want to live anymore?
Moreover, this major case of fifteen people missing in one day will definitely cause a major earthquake, and the official pressure will definitely be unprecedented.
Hualian City is about to change.
However, my intuition tells me that if the official people regard this incident as the work of terrorists, they will use scientific methods to investigate the matter.
I feel that most of them will draw water from a bamboo basket and come up with nothing.
I looked at the driver again and asked tentatively, "Master, this matter is so weird and scary, haven't the authorities investigated it from other aspects? After all, this matter is a bit supernatural!"
I deliberately put the word "supernatural" very strongly.
"Supernatural?" When the taxi driver heard this, he trembled violently and looked at me with wide eyes, "Supernatural, you mean..."
He is not a clumsy person, and he figured out the specific meaning of my question in less than a minute.
"Supernatural, did that really happen, but how is this possible?" After the driver said this, he looked at the rearview mirror with fearful eyes, as if he was afraid of a female ghost sitting in the dark back seat.
After a while, he adjusted his mentality and frowned: "Don't mention it yet. After what you said, I really remembered a piece of gossip I heard two months ago. I seemed to have forgotten it, but he It seems that people from Longyuan Pavilion investigated this matter, but in the end, no clues were found."
I rubbed my chin and frowned in thought. If this matter was really related to the Evil God Church, the people from Longyuan Pavilion could only become cannon fodder, and only behemoths like the Zen Sect could compete with them.
Also, Zen Buddhism should have investigated such a major incident, but when I asked the driver, what surprised me was that he had a blank expression on his face.
It’s no wonder that the behemoth that has been passed down for thousands of years is out of the scope of ordinary people. In addition, ordinary people do not know much about worldly affairs.
On the contrary, Feng Shui shops like Long Yuan Pavilion, which has a certain name, have more status in the hearts of citizens, are easier to access, and are more down-to-earth.
Just as I was thinking about it, my eldest sister suddenly called me, saying that she had just seen the news about the disappearance, was worried about my safety, and asked where I was.
I was about to call her, tell her that I was fine, and tell her not to go out at night, and to go out in groups during the day, and then hung up the phone.
Later, I called He Huanhuan and my grandfather to give them instructions, and asked He Huanhuan if Tian Dong was still pestering her.
He Huanhuan said that Tian Dong was no longer so pestering recently, probably because he was warned by the landlady, but his eyes were staring at her from time to time, and his eyes were also full of resentment.
I'm very pleased that Qian Jingzhu really took this matter seriously. In short, just don't pester Tian Dong to my sister. After exhorting each other to He Huanhuan, we hung up the phone.
For some reason, I suddenly had a strong expectation that Xiao Mengxin would also call me. Although I had lost most of my memories of her, my subconscious wanted her to be the one who cared about me the most.
Immediately afterwards, the figure of Yang Jinghong also appeared in my mind. Regarding this domineering and powerful woman, I had nothing to worry about.
If criminals wanted to take advantage of her, it would be an absolute nightmare for them.
One thing my colleagues are thankful for is that Jin Gouming's death will be affected by this disappearance case, covering up the truth that he is dead.
The police will probably think that Jin Gouming's disappearance is related to this case, and they probably won't be suspicious of me. In addition, the neighborhood is sparsely populated, and the lights are dim and it's difficult for cameras to capture pedestrians, making it even harder to investigate. It's on my head.
However, I don't have time to think about the specific reasons for the missing persons right now. The most important thing at the moment is to find Yu Ruxue's soul.
The human soul was captured by the people from the underworld, and the mastermind behind it was a terrifying and powerful being. This incident was definitely the most difficult and difficult thing I have encountered since my debut.
Even, maybe I have to join in myself.
But even so, I still have to go through it, because I can't just watch Yu Ruxue die like that.
Moreover, in order to break the spell Yang Jinghong cast on me, I have to go to the underworld.
Thinking of Yang Jinghong, I sighed inwardly. It seemed that I was going to trouble her again this time.
I was really thinking about what I was thinking, and suddenly I remembered that the phone ringing was from Yang Jinghong.
After the connection was connected, the voice inside was a bit cold, "I asked you, what are you doing? Didn't you read the news that so many people disappeared yesterday? Can't you call me to inform me?"
Her voice was cold and somewhat resentful.
I was stunned when I heard this, "Ah? Sister Jinghong, don't you know about this? Why did you ask me to call you to inform you?"
"Hey, come on, I find that your heart is not warm." Yang Jinghong sighed, "From the time we met to now, how many times have you said that I helped you, but as a result, so many people have disappeared, and you don't even know Do you care about me? As a brother, you should also care about my safety. After all, I am also a woman."
I smiled bitterly when I heard this, but I didn't expect that she was angry about this.
Then I said without thinking: "Don't be angry, Sister Jinghong, although you are a woman, aren't you a great master? Even if something dangerous happens in Hualian City, you will be fine, right? Who dares to cause trouble for you?"
After finishing speaking, the other party fell silent. After a while, Yang Jinghong's depressed voice came, "I'm just wondering, how does someone like you find a partner? I'm done!"
The words made me stunned for a moment, and I quickly reacted and said: "No, no, Sister Jinghong, I have something to tell you."
"What's the matter?" Yang Jinghong asked angrily.
I said a little awkwardly: "Well, I can't explain it in a few words on the phone. Can you come to my place tomorrow night? I'm at the pilgrim's house and I have some problems that I need your help with, but it's not too much trouble."
"Huh..." A breath came from the receiver, "You brat, I find that every time I talk to you on the phone, you will definitely ask me for help with something."
Hearing this, I felt even more embarrassed and felt really sorry.
"Then I couldn't help but want to go over and help you. I realized that I really owed you money. Did I owe you money in my previous life?" After Yang Jinghong finished speaking, he directly asked me for the pilgrim's address.
The more happy she was, the more guilty I felt.
"Sister Jinghong, thank you." I said very seriously, "If you want me to help you with anything, just tell me. I will go through fire and water without hesitation."
"You've got it." Yang Jinghong said angrily: "You're not even a grown-up kid, how can I help you?"
"Hey? You look down on me, don't you? I..."
"Okay, don't be so talkative. Can you tell me briefly what difficult thing you encountered?"
"Actually, it's nothing." I thought for a while and said, "Just, forget it, let's talk about it when you come tomorrow. I'm in the taxi. I'm tired and want to take a nap."
The main reason is that I'm afraid that she won't come after I tell her the truth. Even though I have made up the reason that Yuru's snowman soul was just captured by an ordinary kid in the underworld and can be easily retrieved, she may not let me go to the ground. The house is in ruins, after all, going to the underworld is an extremely dangerous thing.
Not only does the soul need to be followed and protected by a protector, but the physical body also needs to be protected by a protector. If my body is occupied by a sneaky attack while my soul is out of the body.
Or if someone from the Evil God Church plots against me, I will definitely die. Although I have many immortal guardians, I still feel unsafe.
Yang Jinghong is a master of powerful existence. If she can protect my physical body, I will feel more at ease. As for going to the underworld with Zen and the mysterious red egg following me, I feel that it is enough.
What's more, Zen also promised that he could help me escape at the critical moment.
Later, Yang Jinghong and I briefly discussed the matter of the missing persons in Huihualian City, but we couldn't figure out the reason. However, Yang Jinghong also felt that this matter was by no means unusual and might really be the work of the evil sect. maybe.
I said casually: "By the way, Sister Jinghong, if someone from the government comes to you to investigate this matter, will you take action?"
Yang Jinghong is quite capable, and the Xiao family is deeply aware of her abilities, and such a huge family must have inextricably linked to the officialdom.
Therefore, the official will 100% seek help from the Xiao family, which will most likely take advantage of Yang Jinghong.
"Looking for me to investigate this matter?" Yang Jinghong said in shock, and then his voice became a little cold, "The purpose of my coming to Hualian City is not to solve the case or to make money. It all depends on the mood of others. Opening a Feng Shui shop I just don’t want to be idle, let alone talk.”
