Chapter 62 The gambling contract has come into effect

"In the summer, as the weather heats, all living beings begin to make noise,"

I was sitting in a chair in my office, typing the headline of a special Persona issue. Our kind of hunting magazine, as a summer summer supplies is the best, stunned to make your back under the sun wind gusting.

"The gap between man and the other world becomes blurred, and man will stumble into another dimension and experience wonderful experiences, and the ghost will mingle with the crowd and return to the place he has been thinking about day and night......"

At this point, a faint swelling pain began to come from the palm of my right hand again, and I had to stop and rest for a while. Looking at the red thread wrapped around the frame, I couldn't help but think of the persistent ghost yesterday.

After Huang Qi's death, his family quickly came to the funeral, and he had already rushed to another world. But Gao Ruosong was an orphan, and it was a long time before he was hastily buried. If you have nostalgia in your heart, how can you become a Buddha? He refused to leave for a long time because the bet with Huang Qi had not yet been completed.

Oh yes, yesterday was Huang Qi's death day. When my mother-in-law woke up, she sat in a dream and gave me the red thread that was a peace charm. I thought it was all done except for not feeding, but I still felt uneasy about forgetting something.

A hot and moist sensation suddenly came from my upper lip. I subconsciously touched my nose, and what was left on my hand was bright red blood.

Looking at the dazzling scarlet, kneading the sticky touch in his hand, the warm feeling in his nose became more and more intense. I was stunned for a full minute before I quickly reacted and quickly pulled several napkins to cover my nose.

Is it too dry? It seems like nothing like this has ever happened before.

"Editor-in-Chief Wu!" Xiao Wang's knocking on the door pulled me back, and she appeared in front of me breathlessly, without even knocking on the door, as if there was something urgent.

"What's wrong?" I rubbed it a few times and tossed it aside, so she didn't see my embarrassment.

"There's a guy who says he wants to see you...... Rush...... Rushing up...... He ......"

"Wu Chao !!!"

Before Xiao Wang finished speaking, a high-pitched and familiar male voice immediately broke into the eardrums of everyone in the office. The editorial office, which was originally more female than male, exploded all at once, and everyone's heads looked in the same direction, and I finally remembered that I forgot to text him.

Qin Chu, who was huffing, pushed the door open one by one, and the door squeaked twice and almost collapsed. Ignoring the onlookers of Xiao Wang and other colleagues, he said loudly in a thick voice: "Didn't you say that you would send me a text message when you got home last night?" Why is it turned off! ”

"Who is this man?"

"Wow, is Editor-in-Chief Wu boyfriend? Or ......"

"Won't you...... I feel like ......."

The gossip circle on the side had already started talking, and my face was red like a monkey's buttocks, and I hurriedly pushed him all the way to the outermost empty corridor.

"Can you be quieter?" I gestured to him, "I'm half the boss here, what are you doing?" ”

"I'm scared, you know! I almost called the police! I rushed to your house overnight, and you weren't there, where the hell did you go? Could it be the man who gave you the ring......"

"What do you think!" I yelled, and immediately looked behind me in fear, and after making sure that there was no one, I lowered my voice, "Okay, okay, my fault, the phone had no signal yesterday and forgot to charge it today." ”

"......" he turned around and put on a gesture of dislike to me, and the uncombed hair on his head was stubbornly curled on his head.

"My bad, how about you dinner?"

"Nope."

"Would you like to watch a movie? How about IMAX, huh? ”

“…… Nope."

"Then you say, what do you want, I will listen to you."

"Stay at your house tonight. Well, that's it. After speaking, Qin Chuyi waved his hand, and walked out of the office building without waiting for me to agree. The man around the corner was gone.

After getting off work, I had dinner and watched a movie with Qin Chuyi as promised, of course, it was all my money. Walking down the road back to the apartment, the two of us started talking about old photos again.

According to him, the report on the disappearance on the Internet has been checked by someone, and the results should be available in the next two days.

The summer nights are slow to darken, filled with the sound of insects, and even the lonely person will be irritable. I wore a skirt today, and my feet and neck were bitten out of several big bags by mosquitoes, and it was so itchy that I had to walk for a while before stopping and scratching a few times, which was Qin Chuyi who was laughing on the side.

"You're an animal that eats black and likes meat." He smiled cheaply, not knowing how to understand me.

I was just about to talk back, when suddenly I felt the warmth in my nose hit again, and I quickly squatted down.

"What's wrong?" He saw that something was wrong with me and bent over and asked.

"It's all right," I replied, covering my nose, my nasal tone sounding weird, "it's so dry, and I always have nosebleeds." ”

"It's not autumn again." He muttered quietly and pulled a tissue out of his pocket and handed it to me.

While I was resting on the side of the road, Qin Chu put his hands behind his head or two, stretched his waist, and observed the surrounding environment. For him, N City is still a strange city, and everywhere he goes, he has to ask me what this is and what it is, like a migrant worker entering the city.

"I'm a farmer," he often laughs at himself, "from an American farmer, haha." ”

He looked around for a moment, then his eyes suddenly froze.

"Where is this?" He pointed to the half-built construction site in front of him and asked, "Why is such a good location not developed and developed, and it is so empty here?" ”

I looked at the place he pointed to, and it was indeed a ruined building. The foundation is halfway down, and the construction vehicles are still parked on the side, but there is no trace of the workers. It stands to reason that in the summer, the construction site will work until late, with a bright light that can pierce people's eyes, and will be busy until dawn. If it's left empty, it's been abandoned for a long time.

"It's just an unfinished building, what's there to see." I stood up and pushed Qin Chuyi home.

"I think it's a good place here, it's next to the park, why did it stop working halfway through." He looked behind him reluctantly, his eyes still there, "Ah! You see, there is also a line outside the construction site. ”

Speaking of parks, I remembered that this is near Xincheng People's Park. This construction site seems to have been on the news before, and the mainstream media reported that the owner of the construction site fled with the money, and the arrears led to the halt of the project. But the grapevine said that something unclean had been dug up here, so the work was stopped. I didn't expect that after so many years, this place is still deserted, not to mention being developed, and no one has even cleaned it up.

There were a lot of people walking along the way after eating, and it was too strange for the two of us to stand on the side of the road and probe our brains, so I hurriedly pushed Qin Chuyi to go back quickly, and pushed him hard to catch the subway, and finally arrived at the door.

As soon as he came home like a host, he slumped on the couch and watched TV, and took out the ice cream I bought from the fridge and ate it, moving slowly like a dying elephant. I couldn't laugh or cry, so I had to go and prepare his bed for tonight.

The computer in the study is still on, and I forgot to turn it off in a hurry when I left last time. The blue power supply drew me in, and I shook the mouse a few times, and the screen lit up immediately.

A faint blue light filled the entire study, and the map in front of the computer was still lying crookedly on the table. This is the last time I bought a map of the city to determine the latitude and longitude. I picked it up and folded it a few times, and was about to put it in the bookcase, when my hand suddenly felt something.

A sticky feeling. I touched my nose and it didn't bleed. It's the feeling that the marker is not dry, and it is on your fingers. I just got home, and Qin Chuyi hasn't been to the study, who moved my marker?

I quickly turned on the headlights in my room, looking for the source of the marker stain, which was a map.

Spreading out the map half the size of a table, I carefully searched for the marker, and finally saw a heavy circle symbol in the lower right corner of the map of N City. The place I had just wiped faded from one side of the circle, and an exclamation mark like a bloodstain was attached to the circle, a glaring and striking reminder to me.

"Wu Chao, let's make a bet, if you help me find Huang Qi, how about I help you find the person you want to find?"

It's Takamatsu!

Our bet came into effect, I helped him find the red line left by Huang Qi, and he fulfilled his promise and helped me circle the person I was looking for!

My hand holding the map couldn't help but tremble, I don't know if I was excited or scared, but sweat was oozing from my palms.

The guy I'm looking for...... Zhao Cheng!

Zhao Cheng, I'm going to find Zhao Cheng! The mystery is about to be solved!

"Little Sickness!" Before I could recover from the excitement, Qin Chuyi also shouted excitedly, and ran straight to the study where I was, "Found it!" The family that sent the missing person report! ”

I didn't have the heart to listen to what he was talking about at this time, my mind was full of Zhao Cheng Zhao Cheng Zhao Cheng. Wearing a black round-brimmed hat and an army green coat, Zhao Cheng seemed to have come to me, and I only needed to make a little more effort to reach him.

"Xiao Xiao ......?" Qin Chu saw that I was not excited by his news, but stared blankly at the map in his hand, with an irrepressible excitement on his face, and some doubts.

"Let's go!" I suddenly grabbed his hand and ran to the door.

"Hey, don't worry, I have to talk to someone before I can visit!" He called out behind me.

"I'm going to find Zhao Cheng!" I said excitedly.

"What?" He couldn't react a little. "Where are we going now?"

"Zhao Cheng!" I shouted again, the map in my hand trembling and falling many times, and finally pointed my finger at the red circle on the map, and kept saying to him, "He's in Xincheng People's Park!" Zhao Cheng in Xincheng People's Park! ”

"We're about to solve this mystery!"
