Chen Deling took the ancient paintings, carried the stone stele, and left Haida Fu's house.

He first went back to the original rented place, then called a car, pulled things and went straight to the Queen Mother Temple.

"Yo, boy, here?"

As soon as the car stopped at the gate of the Queen Mother Temple, the landlady came over to greet him with a smile.

Compared with yesterday, his attitude is simply like two people.

Chen Deling was even stunned for a moment.

"How can this old man's attitude change so much? Is it because I paid?"

Chen Deling thought so in his heart, but on the surface, he smiled and said hello: "Uncle landlord, it's early." ”

In fact, if you think about it, the rental house here was originally rebuilt from the Queen Mother Temple, and the landlord didn't have to spend any money at all, and he could collect some rent every month, so why wouldn't he do it.

"Nima, why can't I encounter such a good thing?"

Chen Deling thought secretly in his heart, but he never expected that this kind of good thing would really be his turn in the near future.

The next step is to tidy up the room.

After working for most of the day, the original messy room has changed greatly.

Chen Deling's rented room has a lot of space, and it is much more comfortable to live in than the previous rental.

I was busy until it was almost dark, and the room was completely ready.

Chen Deling rode an electric car to buy some snacks and brought a case of beer.

"Uncle, come have a drink?"

"Hey, okay!"

The landlord was not polite, and the two of them set up a table in the courtyard and chatted while drinking.

After chatting, Chen Deling also knew that the landlord's surname was Liu, nickname: Old Liu.

He was originally the temple protector who guarded the Queen Mother Temple, and after the Queen Mother Temple collapsed eight years ago, he did the work of collecting the rags.

"Old Liutou, why did this Queen Mother Temple collapse?"

After Chen Deling took a sip of beer, he asked curiously.

He has always wanted to know this question, because the place of the Queen Mother Temple used to be very lively.

But now, the surrounding residents have moved away, and it's hard to see anyone else here.

There must be some unknown reasons for this.

Lao Liu Tou drank very poorly, and after drinking a bottle of beer, his whole nose was red, and his speech began to be a little unfavorable.

"Xiao Chen! No...... I'll tell you the truth! Strange things have happened in this place. ”

"Strange thing, is it haunted?" Chen Deling only felt a chill in his back.

"No, no, no, you listen to me. ”

Lao Liu Tou waved his hand, looked around, and then lowered his voice and said: "Eight years ago, a group of female high school students disappeared while playing in the Queen Mother Temple, and the police turned this place upside down and didn't find them. Also, the day after they disappeared, the Queen Mother Temple collapsed. Some people say that they were chosen by the Queen Mother and taken to Heaven to be fairies, while others say that they were killed by someone. ”

Old Liu Tou paused, took a sip of wine, and continued: "It just so happened that during that time, I went to another place for something, otherwise, I might have to be treated as a suspect." ”

I see!

Chen Deling nodded secretly, and suddenly thought of a key point.

High School Girls?

Chen Deling had never heard of a group of female students missing from any school, at least not in their school.

Soon, Chen Deling thought of one more thing.

Eight years ago, it was the year he wrote a love letter to Zhong Wu, and it was also the year when Zhong Wu changed schools.

Chen Deling's heart suddenly beat violently.

Among the missing female high school students, will there be Zhong Wu?

Thinking of this, he hurriedly asked the drunken old Liu: "Old Liutou, do you know who those female students who disappeared back then?"

"I don't remember, but I still seem to have the newspaper from that year, so I'll look for it. ”

Old Liu staggered into his room, and after rummaging in it for a while, he came out with a bundle of old newspapers.

"Dig through it yourself and see if you can find it. ”

After the old willow head finished speaking, he couldn't hold on any longer and fell to the ground drunk.

Chen Deling smiled helplessly, and with great effort, he helped Old Man Liu up and sent him back to the room.

Then, Chen Deling began to flip through the pile of old newspapers.

Half an hour later.

His expression turned sad.

He looked at an old newspaper in his hand, and his whole body fell into a wooden state.

In the newspaper, a missing person notice was published.

There are photos of four girls on it, and among them is a photo that Chen Deling is very familiar with.

It's the bell dance!

Looking at the yellowed newspaper, Zhong Wu's photo that was already slightly blurry, Chen Deling's eyes began to moisten.

Zhong Wuzhen is missing.

Why has he not been heard from for so many years.

Also missing in the Queen Mother Temple!

Chen Deling suddenly raised his head and looked at the Queen Mother Temple in front of him, half of which had collapsed and half had been converted into housing.

What happened here?

Chen Deling didn't know how he got back to the room.

In short, he didn't fall asleep all night, and when he closed his eyes, he could dream of Zhong Wu's appearance.

It wasn't until one o'clock in the morning that he felt a little sleepy.

But he was just about to fall asleep.

Strange screams could be heard from next door.

Listening to the voice, it seems to be Lao Liutou!

"Damn, this old man can't have drunk too much!"

Chen Deling jumped up directly from the teleportation, quickly rushed to the room, and pushed open the door of the old Liu Tou next door.

Under the dim light, Lao Liu Tou was lying on the bed on all fours.

And on his arms and thighs, I don't know when there were a few more bruises.

It's like...... Someone pinched him.

Chen Deling was full of suspicion, but when he saw that Lao Liu Tou had returned to normal and snoring came again, he didn't bother.

Back in his room, Chen Deling took out the ancient paintings.

The figure flashed, and Ah Yan floated out.

"It's a nice place!"

Ah Yan moved around the room, as if he was very satisfied with the place.

Chen Deling shrugged, he chose to rent this place before, firstly, to wait for the bell dance, and secondly, the housing price was cheap.

But now that he learned that Zhong Wu had disappeared, he didn't have the same sense of anticipation as before.

Lying on the bed, Chen Deling stared at the ceiling in a daze.

"What's wrong with you?

Ah Yan floated to the head of the bed, and this time she appeared, wearing a black dress.

If it weren't for the fact that it seemed a little unreal, I would have thought she was a living person.

Chen Deling sighed and told Ah Yan about himself and Zhong Wu.

Sometimes it's better to talk to someone than to hold it in your heart.

"There's nothing wrong with this place, at least everything is fine in your room. ”

Ah Yan's words expressed several meanings.

However, at this moment, Chen Deling was thinking about Zhong Wu's affairs, and he didn't hear the meaning of Ah Yan's words.

"By the way, little brother, can you do something for me?"

Ah Yan hesitated for a moment, but still spoke.

"What's the matter?"

Chen Deling retracted his thoughts and looked at Ah Yan with some confusion.

"I want you to help me find someone. ”

After Ah Yan finished speaking, his expression became complicated.

What she was looking for was naturally the benefactor who enlightened her back then.

If it weren't for the man who helped her enlighten her spirit, she would still be a dead thing.

It's just that she doesn't know what the man's name is or where he lives.

All she remembered was that the man was using a strange black spirit pen.
