Chapter 18: Who's Next?
Struggling to get up from the bed, I trembled to the bathroom and looked at the old man in the mirror. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
His skin is saggy, his eyes are glazed, and his pale hair is like a messy weed tangled around his head.
Is this me?
I shuddered and closed my eyes, I didn't expect the death to hurt me so much, I almost hung up.
Although I paid such a big price, I still couldn't save Xiaolan, but I don't regret it, at least I tried hard and tried my best to do it, although my efforts didn't seem to be of any use.
"Xiaobai! Where are you? ”
Just when I felt sorry for myself in the mirror, Wang Jiani's anxious voice came from the bedroom, I didn't expect that after I got old, I would be so slow to feel the outside world, and I didn't even know when Wang Jiani would come back.
"I'm here!"
I opened my mouth to speak, but my voice was unusually hoarse, like the sound of a chainsaw sawing a tree.
"It's really strange, small, no, old, white, there are really 9 corpses in the makeup mirror, and the ninth corpse is Xiaolan's."
Wang Jiani's already white and excessively white face became even paler the moment she saw me, as if there was no blood on her face.
"Well, that's true."
I sighed, ignored Wang Jiani's concerned eyes, and went straight to the living room to sit down, my mind was in chaos, I had no clue about the current predicament.
"What do we do now?"
Wang Jiani brought over a glass of water and said softly.
"No way, take one step at a time, no accident, the next person to die will be me."
I tested the temperature of the water, and it was just right, but I didn't expect this policewoman, who is sometimes strong and sometimes weak, to be so good at taking care of people, and she knows to give me warm water.
"Let's go, take me to KTV to see, I always feel that there is an answer I need."
I drank the warm water from the cup, stood up tremblingly, and said calmly.
Things have come to this point, no matter how much you escape, it won't help, anyway, in my current situation, even if I don't get killed by ghosts, I won't live long, after all, the death qi on my body is about to drown the three yang fires on my body.
"Director Zhang also means this, I hope you can take a look, after all, there are some things that we can't see."
Wang Jiani hesitated for a moment, and then said softly.
I know that Wang Jiani is worried about whether my body can withstand it now, but after all, this girl has seen the world and knows when to do something, so even if she is unwilling, she has to agree with me.
Looking at Wang Jiani's complicated eyes, how could I not know this girl's thoughts? However, some feelings are not consensual and can be together.
People like me, who live today and don't know if they can open their eyes tomorrow, don't deserve love.
Sitting in Wang Jiani's car, we came to KTV again, maybe what happened here in the past few days is too weird, even in broad daylight, there are not many people staying here.
With Wang Jiani's support, we went directly to the bathroom, and when we arrived at the place, we found Zhang Xiao staring at a broken lens in a daze.
"Director Zhang, did you find anything?"
I said funny, but I still admired this policeman, not to mention anything else, his courage alone is not something ordinary people have.
"Yes, but I don't know how to say it, you can take a look."
Saying that, Zhang Xiao handed me the lens in his hand, during which I could see deep self-blame in his eyes, but we didn't say anything, the friendship between men doesn't need too many words, sometimes, a look is enough.
At the same time as taking the lens, I subconsciously touched the lens in my pocket, and found that the lens in my pocket did not know when it was gone, and the lens in my hand was exactly the same as the one I got yesterday.
Touching the cold lenses, I don't know why, I actually felt a sense of intimacy, as if this thing belonged to the same kind of thing as me.
However, when my eyes were on the lenses, I froze for a moment, and the picture that should have appeared in the lens was gone, and I clearly remembered that there was always my image in the lens yesterday, and even the image of Zhang Qi and others behind my image, but now there is nothing.
"When I first discovered the lenses, I saw your image, but I don't know why, but it slowly disappeared, and no new images have appeared until now."
Zhang Xiao said with a frown, while looking around, not knowing what he was looking for.
"It's really weird! But why? Is it the death breath in me? But shouldn't it? Could it be that I had already broken through the passage behind the mirror once yesterday? Cracked its killer? ”
I rubbed the lenses, thinking subconsciously, completely unaware that while I rubbed the lenses, the dead air on my body was slowly decreasing, although the amount was small, but it was really decreasing, as if it was absorbed by the lenses.
"Zhang Ju, Lao Bai, after investigation, we found a very strange thing, that is, these dead women, the family has died in the past three years, and these people have not been home for many years, I don't know if this information is useful."
Wang Jiani took out her mobile phone and looked at it for a moment, raised her head to look at us and said slowly, maybe they and I have seen ghosts, so they are also very attentive to some clues that seem normal.
Zhang Xiao looked at me, then at Wang Jiani, opened her mouth, and finally shook her head, frowned, and didn't say anything.
As for me, my heart shook violently, as if some key clue had appeared, but I couldn't grasp it.
At this moment, there were three bells outside, and it was already three o'clock in the afternoon, and there were nine hours until tomorrow, because we didn't know when the ghosts started, and because we hadn't paid attention to it before, no one noticed the time when these women died, so I didn't know the pattern of ghosts.
"By the way, where is the fat boss, I have something to ask him."
Suddenly, I remembered one thing that I hadn't missed before, and it was also something that had been overlooked, why the general KTV is on the first floor, the worst, and it won't be too high, but this KTV is actually on the 12th floor, which is a bit too strange.
"Fatty? For half a day, we haven't seen him, and we haven't found anyone in his house, and now we are looking for him with all our might. ”
Zhang Xiao said with a displeased face, as if the disappearance of the fat boss was their dereliction of duty.
"He can't run away, when the fat man was unconscious for the first time, I pulled a few hairs from him, and now I just need it, this trick is called the fairy to guide the way, the principle is very simple, it is the mutual attraction between souls, hair can give us direction, where the person is, the hair will move in that direction."
As I spoke, I took out the ink bell, took out a hair from my pocket and put it on the ink bell, and at the same time touched the ink bell in my right hand, and suddenly the hair on the ink bell slowly floated, and finally fell on the ink bell again.
"Hey, why didn't it point the way?! Could it be that the fat man left a long distance? ”
Wang Jiani asked curiously, her eyes staring at Mo Ling without blinking, as if waiting for her hair to move.
"No, even if it's far away, it will lead out, and there is only one explanation for the current situation."
Seeing this scene, my face was extremely ugly, but looking at Zhang Xiao and Wang Jiani, who couldn't tell the difference, I could only continue to say with a sigh of relief.
