His brain was in chaos. Under Lin An's rough threats, he instinctively followed his desire to survive and stammered back:
"I am Xiaohui's boyfriend..."
"She...she's missing...I can't contact her, so I just thought...come over and have a look..."
As he spoke, the young man couldn't help but stare at the slowly rotating compass, and random legends flashed through his mind.
Could it be that...what I think is true! ?
His eyes flashed, and under the shroud of mental power, Lin An could feel that the other party had not deceived him, and it was impossible for him to do so.
After he saw the flip phone in the young man's hand, he snatched it away without ceremony.
Combining the dodge in the young man's eyes and the mixed emotions, Lin An opened his phone and asked casually:
"When did you disappear?"
"Did you call her?"
The missing girl, the man who came to look for his girlfriend, the deserted room...
It looks like the beginning of a cliched horror movie.
The young man was stunned when he heard the sound, as if he thought of some bad memory. He swallowed dryly and nodded and replied:
"Are you... a Taoist priest?"
"Is there really something dirty!?"
"When I called Xiaohui, she said that she had been seeing..."
"Those...shoes."
He didn't answer the question, and his thoughts were a little confused.
Lin An raised his head and glanced at the young man without answering.
"Didi-didi"
The keyboard clicked, Lin An quickly operated the phone, and found the call history as expected.
Looking at the string of numbers, he asked casually:
"Is there a recording?"
Asked in response, the young man shrank his neck, looked at the mobile phone that Lin An had taken away, and nodded blankly:
"have..."
"The last time there was..."
"drop"
A second later, Lin An dispersed the arcane torrent, placed his left hand lightly on the young man's head, and held up his mobile phone with his right hand to click on a recording.
After a while, the recording sounded:
"Chen Yong...I am Xiaohui..."
"Woooo..."
"There she goes again... there she goes again!"
"I saw her again in my dream!"
"Xiaohui, calm down! I'm here, you don't have to be afraid."
"Who is she? Please tell me clearly!"
The recording was a little noisy. Except for the young man named Chen Yong, who was anxiously comforting his girlfriend during the call, Xiaohui on the other end seemed to just cry.
Frowning slightly, Lin An quickly completed the picture in his mind while listening to the recording.
The girl hiding at home woke up from a nightmare in the middle of the night, and then made a panicked phone call to her boyfriend.
Uneasy, the girl huddled in the corner of the bed and cried softly.
When the recording was about to end, Lin An suddenly heard the sizzling sound of electricity and the girl's muffled scream:
"She's getting closer!"
"shoe!"
"Xiaohui!?"
"drop--"
After the recording ended, Lin An held the phone thoughtfully and frowned slightly:
"When did it start? Where did you go before?"
"How long has your girlfriend been missing?"
The key issue.
Thinking about what happened, Lin An subconsciously filled in the details.
If it starts according to the convention of a horror movie, Chen Yong and Xiao Hui should have gone somewhere and encountered supernatural events, such as that pair of shoes.
The place to encounter supernatural events may be an outing or a house in the countryside.
After the two returned to the city, the girl was entangled in supernatural events and kept seeing visions until the supernatural events broke out and then disappeared.
Of course, it's also possible that he died.
As expected, Chen Yong looked at Lin An at a loss. He was not used to Lin An's questioning style.
It was the first time he encountered such a strange thing, and he subconsciously put the incident into the movie, thinking that Lin An might be the rumored Taoist priest or something.
After all, that compass looks too similar.
But why didn't this person comfort him at all like he did in the movie? It's a bit scary...
"4 days ago.."
"Xiaohui and I went to our hometown in the countryside. When we came back, she started to have nightmares."
"She kept saying that she always saw a pair of shoes in her dreams..."
"Every day the shoe gets closer to her."
"She said she felt something terrible would happen after the shoe actually walked in front of her..."
"I originally thought she was just having a nightmare or something, and I thought it would be better if I stayed with her. But during this period, I was too busy with work and didn't have time to stay with her."
"did not expect..."
The young man's eyes flashed back and forth between Lin An and Luo Pan, with fear written on his face:
"I didn't expect that after she called me yesterday and said that the shoes appeared under her bed, she really disappeared!"
....
After listening to the young man's narration, Lin An nodded slightly and breathed a sigh of relief.
Pretty much what he guessed.
In the thinking space, the second will is also undecided.
Using special events to stop the enemy is actually very risky.
Lin An's only advantage was to find the key points and plan the killing before the supernatural events were strengthened.
Afraid that this supernatural incident would be too difficult, Bie Lin'an failed to find the key point. After using the supernatural incident to attack the opponent, he ended up in a desperate situation.
But now this supernatural incident sounds quite ordinary, and it shouldn't be difficult to "take advantage" of it.
Of course, when the current information is combined, there are still many doubts.
For example, if Xiaohui has been living in the house for these four days, why is there so much dust?
Another example is the difference between inside and outside the room.
However, Lin An did not intend to study this point in detail.
Having experienced many incidents, he knows very well that the key points of various incidents often lie in the place of origin.
The cause of this incident probably originated from the hometown mentioned by Chen Yong.
An old house, a curse that was broken or something?
Just as Lin An was about to leave with Chen Yong, his eyes swept across the room again.
Um?
wrong.
Lin An frowned and quickly locked his eyes on an old landline phone.
The old-fashioned telephone painted red is incompatible with the decoration in the room.
("The call was placed.")
In the thinking space, the second will suddenly spoke.
At first, neither of them paid much attention to the phone. After all, the amount of information about a living person must be far greater than others.
Moreover, mobile phones can record, but old landlines cannot.
But under careful observation, Lin An nodded slightly. He noticed that there was no dust on several buttons of the phone.
Without further ado, he quickly approached and picked it up.
It was slightly cold, so I picked up the phone and pressed the callback button without any pause.
"beep---"
There was a busy murmur, and Lin An glanced at the mottled and peeling telephone line, thoughtfully.
If the callback fails, there should be a problem with the line.
Dust, clean, phone, cell phone...
After thinking briefly, Lin An put down the microphone in his hand.
Behind him, Chen Yong opened his mouth, looked at Lin An's actions, and realized something.
He hurriedly spoke as if to defend himself:
"I called you back, too."
"I pressed the callback button..."
"Before I came, Xiaohui didn't answer the phone. After I found out that she was missing, I thought that her mobile phone might have run out of battery, so I called her on the landline before leaving."
Looking a little downcast, Chen Yong smiled bitterly and continued:
"I think Xiaohui must have called her, but she couldn't call back, and I don't know who she called last..."
Lin An nodded slightly, indicating that he accepted Chen Yong's explanation.
But after he lowered his head and thought for a moment, he chuckled.
"I know who she called last..."
The man was stunned when he heard the sound, wondering how Lin An would find the number.
You know, this old-fashioned landline phone does not have the function of displaying numbers.
...
Standing in front of the phone, Lin An glanced at the dust on the keys. Under the subtle observation of the Eye of Truth, he quickly pieced together the pressed keys.
It can't be dialed back, but it doesn't affect anything.
Three numbers, two repeats.
Almost without thinking, Lin An put the shoes into the space ring, pulled Chen Yong and turned around to leave.
In the thinking space, the second will chuckled and spoke slowly and meaningfully:
("interesting..")
Pulling Chen Yong, who looked shocked, Lin An nodded calmly.
That's right, after he saw the old landline phone, he instantly overturned his previous thinking.
Under super-effective thinking, he realized clearly.
I'm afraid there isn't too much information here, useful information is in the next place.
However, it is not the hometown that Chen Yong mentioned.
But before leaving, he put up a mental barrier at the place where he appeared.
As long as someone appears here, the fragile mental power mark will instantly shatter, giving an early warning.
...
leave.
Outside the old apartment building, a line of wet footprints spread from the wall outside the building, into the room where the curtains were drawn, and up to the ceiling.
