Volume 3 The Battle of the Underworld Chapter 64 Return to China
"Then are we also the targets of the Heavenly Sin Sect?" Liu Weixian asked, "We can also see ghosts." "There's a possibility. I affirmed, opening the door to our own room, "And whether or not the so-called Heavenly Sin Cult wants to kill us, our main quest is to deal with it anyway." What I'm more curious about now is what the strength of the Heavenly Sin Cult is, and how powerful the opponent we are going to deal with. ”
I've had plenty of rest this afternoon, and it's no problem not sleeping all night. "You go to sleep, our investigation here can be over, I'll take care of the rest, and we'll go back home tomorrow morning." "It's too rushed, isn't it?" Liu Wei took off his shoes and coat first, and lay down on the bed, "but I agree." I don't want to stay in this hotel for a minute. "I said in my heart that the Cecil Hotel must have a side quest that can be dug up, after all, there are too many stories in this hotel. But on the one hand, continuing to delay here is torture for the first, and on the other hand, I am extremely lacking in information now, and I can't grasp the degree of interaction with ghosts, so it is better to cause less trouble in a foreign country.
I was also relieved to stay in the room, so he fell asleep soon after lying down. I booked a plane ticket to return to Shanghai tomorrow morning, and then I wrote a reply to Lin Man's mother. Believe it or not, I put my inferences on the letter paper from beginning to end.
“... We're sorry we can't really determine who your daughter's killer is, but it must be inextricably linked to the Heavenly Sin Cult. Please rest assured, we have a settling account with the Heavenly Sin Sect, and we will also count what happened to your daughter. Please don't call us for the rest of the final payment, we didn't help much, and we deserve it. Please also mourn and return to normal life as soon as possible. "I drew a full stop, wrote the letter in about twenty minutes, and then ran downstairs to the front desk to make a mess of the young lady. She thought I needed some special service and walked out of the lounge in disheveled clothes. "What's the matter, do you need room service at this point?" With a polite smile, I handed her the letter I had just written: "Please help me send the letter to the address on the envelope, thank you." ”
"That's it?" the young lady at the front desk had a neurotic expression, "Does this kind of thing have to be solved at two o'clock in the morning??" "Well, I'm done with cigarettes, please help me with the whole pack of cigarettes." Still smiling, I handed her a knife, "No need to look for it." Presumably the tip relieved her of her discomfort a little, and the young lady took out a pack of Marlboros from her lounge and gave it to me, and politely hinted that I could have other services if I had enough money. I waved my hand no, then turned and walked back to the elevator.
"Whew...", I lit a cigarette in the elevator and smoked it. When smoking becomes a habit, staying up late without smoking loses its meaning. When I walked to the door of room 1402, the cigarette was just smoked to the end, I threw the cigarette butt on the carpet and stepped on it, and was about to swipe the room card to open the door, when the door of the security passage next to it suddenly opened.
"Ah, this familiar cold feeling. "I looked out the door, and there was no one, or ghost. "Should I also scream symbolically when I suddenly entered the ghost domain in the middle of the night?" I walked up the outdoor stairs to the top of the building, and saw a woman squatting on the water tank, well, more precisely, a female ghost. She had her head down, and I couldn't see her face clearly, but I noticed that she was soaking wet all over her body, and her hair was still dripping down.
"Hello Linman. I greeted graciously. The female ghost looked up, and her face seemed to have been swollen from the long-term soaking, and it was almost impossible to see what it was. "We... We seem to be the same kind of people—" she muttered, "No, am I not human now?" "There are those who are alive and who are dead. Some people are dead, but their spirits are still there. "Send a proposition as long as it is as nonsense as possible within the acceptable range of the other party, for example, the cliché quality question: "I fell into the river with Ling Tang, who do you save first?" I will answer: "First of all, you need to determine which part of the river basin at which time, and then according to the water temperature, water flow speed, and bank conditions at that time..."
Although I don't know how deep the acceptance range of Lin Man, who has become a female ghost, is so deep that I haven't finished playing after I finished answering. Lin Man covered her head with her hands, "I'm dead, I'm dead, I'm dead," she said bitterly, "Why? I don't understand why!"
"It was the Heavenly Sin Cult who killed you. "Maybe it's because they think you have the power of a forbidden thing you shouldn't have, and that these people are crazy." I swear, not only for you, but for myself, that I will destroy the Heavenly Sin Cult. ”
"Heavenly Sin Cult... Ability..."Lin Man raised his head again, "Ha, I remember, that person is a Chinese person." "The one who killed you?" I got serious, "yes." "I don't know him, but he tracked me all the way from school to death." He's got a very powerful... Little ghost helper, I was in a hurry to hide in the room that day, and when I opened the door, I saw a child in a red dress standing in front of me and smiling at me. I don't know how that bastard confined me directly to the tank, leaving me conscious and drowning in despair. I want revenge, but I can't leave here, that's all I can give you, promise me, help me find that man, and give him the punishment he deserves!"
"You have my assurance. I turned around and prepared to leave, "I'll go back to Huaxia immediately to investigate, if I win in the end, I'll come back to chat with you!" As soon as the words fell, the cold feeling suddenly disappeared, replaced by the cold wind of the winter night, and I knew that I had escaped from the ghost domain. I looked at my watch, and it was almost four o'clock. I didn't bother anymore, went into the room to wake up Liu Wei, washed up as soon as possible, and drove to the airport in the car we rented.
"The boy in the red dress..."I thought as I closed my eyes after boarding the plane, "It seems that it is necessary to go to Jiangcheng after returning to Huaxia." "International flights tend to be boring, crowded and non-smoking, so I have to catch up on sleep in addition to making plans for the next step. After more than ten hours, converting 16 time zones, we arrived at the Shanghai market in the afternoon of the next day. I managed to recharge my batteries on the plane, but my back hurt from the cramped space.
We still have plenty of money, so we rented another car directly at the airport for convenience. "Actually, I think even if you rent a pickup truck, it's more suitable than this car..."Liu Weixian complained, "A man should do a sports car!" I opened the driver's seat of the rented Audi TT and sat in, "You can honestly cry in the co-pilot, stupid little kid!"
With the help of navigation and the help of the metropolis's road conditions, it took us five hours to get back to our destination: No. 13 Chenghuang Street, Huangpu District, Shanghai. From the outside, it looks like a two-story house left by foreigners in the last century among a bunch of high-rise buildings, but the interior is actually quite spacious. The two of us walked in and turned on the lights, and although it was the first time we had entered here, we always felt like we were at home.
