Chapter 23: The Newcomer
"Excuse me" Luo Qiu was still not used to speaking in an official tone, but instead said: "That's the case, I have a list here, can I trouble you to check where they are now in Jianghe City?" If you find one, please bring this group over as soon as possible! ”
Saying that, Luo Qiu handed over the list that had been prepared a long time ago, and it was the names of those newcomers.
After all, what can be done with the hands of others, Luo Qiu said that he didn't want to do it himself.
"List?" Xiao Li also took the list with some doubts and looked at it: "Do these lists have any connection with this incident?"
After speaking, Xiao Li regretted it a little, after all, Luo Qiu was in a high position, and Xiao Li knew that he didn't need to ask what he shouldn't ask, but this incident was very serious, and he couldn't help but say a few more words.
"If you have any doubts about these things, you can ask your sir." Luo Qiu said with a flat face.
"I'm sorry.. It's really too much of this case..."Xiao Li scratched his head and hurriedly said.
Whatever, no matter how much this case develops to him, what does it matter?
"That's it! Hurry up and get this matter done, now that this case is getting more and more out of control, what are you afraid of? If something happens, we must be the tall ones who carry it. Luo Qiu didn't pay attention to Xiao Li's thoughts at this time, but said indifferently with a slight thought.
Hearing this, Xiao Li also nodded again and again, after all, what responsibility can he take if something happens to a small police officer, the big deal is just to throw away the police hat on his head.
Xia Yue is an ordinary college student from Dongjiang City, which is not very far from Jianghe City, and this time she came because she was visiting distant relatives in Dongjiang City.
It's just that the weird thing is that since he bought a weird book the day before yesterday, there was a burning sting pain in his hand the next day, and then a weird and creepy message emerged from the palm of his hand.
"Two days later. . . Jianghe City... Tsukimi Bar"
"What the hell?"
Xia Yue, who didn't know the situation, thought that this was just because she was too mentally exhausted from writing her college thesis recently, so she naturally ignored it directly.
merely
.....
"How do you drive! Can't drive! ”
"And who the hell are you? How did you stuff me in for no reason? ”
The man sitting in the back row covered his head in pain, and at the same time accused Luo Qiu who was sitting in the front row with an angry face. Luo Qiu didn't care who this man was, but Xiao Li, who was sitting next to Xia Yue, saw that the man was accusing Luo Qiu with an unkind face, and he immediately glared back and scolded:
"Don't chirp, don't wait until I open the door and drop you down!"
"You're ......!"
"Stop arguing!"
The man wanted to say something, but was stopped by Luo Qiu's cheers, and the man looked at him with a very stubborn expression:
"What? What the hell are you kidnapping me for? Let me tell you that my family is poor, and my health is poor, and I get sick from time to time, and the organs in my body are not worth anything, and I even ask you to pay for them! ”
After saying this, he continued to accuse Xiao Li on the side and said:
"Although I don't know your name, if you don't let me go today, then I remember!"
Hearing this, Luo Qiu also had a bottom in his heart, after all, this time Luo Qiu could be regarded as having learned the lesson of the last time. Since it is the clue provided by the blood words of the book, then Luo Qiu will definitely not let go of the slightest.
Using the intelligence network of the police station, Luo Qiu found all the information of these names, and they were not considered natives of Dongjiang City, but perhaps because there was something to do recently that he needed to come to Dongjiang City, these were recorded.
I have to say that Luo Qiu's recognition of supernatural events is now more and more affirmative.
Because a few days after going to the church, Luo Qiu found that the book that he had forgotten at home had appeared in Luo Qiu's dormitory again one day.
This time, the book has changed again from the previous one, and it contains all the details of Luo Qiu's journey through the entire first storybook.
For these strange events that appeared again and again, Luo Qiu's cognition was refreshed again and again.
After thinking about it for a while, Luo Qiu immediately thought of an idea and said to the man:
"Well, as long as you answer my questions honestly, I'll consider letting you out of the car, otherwise!"
The man may have been thinking about whether to attack Luo Qiu and then find an opportunity to escape, but Xiao Li on the side said to him first:
"If you don't want to be shot into a sieve, don't move honestly, you can get out of here by answering a few questions from him, don't look for that uncomfortable."
saw that Xiao Li lifted the corner of his clothes slightly, revealing the tip of the gun.
The man's expression was unpredictable, and he weighed it in his heart, and nodded at Xiao Li with an ugly face:
"Ask, I'll tell you the truth."
Next, Luo Qiu asked the man a lot of questions, and he already knew that he was Xia Yue, and then asked him to be a student at a university in Dongjiang City, because he had recently visited relatives, and at the same time, he was also distracted. came out of school and took a bullet train from Dongjiang City to Jianghe City, but as soon as he came out of the Jianghe City station, he was arrested by Luo Qiu and others.
"Have you come across anything weird and incomprehensible lately?"
"Nope."
"Are you sure you don't, we won't let you go if you don't tell the truth!"
"Really, is it necessary for me to lie to you about such nonsense!"
“……”
Xia Yue can be said that everything is not going well, first he was ruthlessly galloped by the university tutor in college, and then he was faced with many of his homework failures, and his studies were in jeopardy, but now he has encountered such a thing as being hijacked, and he really wants to commit suicide.
Luo Qiu asked for a long time and didn't ask any valuable clues, Xia Yue saw that Luo Qiu and the others still didn't mean to let him go, so she begged:
"Please let me go, I'm really just a poor student, and my parents are not high-ranking officials and rich people, so in order to provide for me, they have a hard time, so they have to go to the hospital to sell blood and kidneys. So you should all sympathize with them, let me go, I swear I will never report you to the police, really, I swear never. ”
Xia Yue's dress is really not very good, compared with the dress of ordinary college students, his body is indeed dirty scum, if he encounters a real robbery, there is really nothing to rob, but they are not robbers at all, if Xia Yue, a newcomer, gets out of the car, it is undoubtedly to see him die, and this kind of death is completely meaningless.
As a storybook, it is equivalent to the level of a director, according to Chu Yufan.
Because if a new story starts three days later.
If they have not been exposed to the source of the horror, i.e., the place where the story originated, the newcomers will die directly after the third day.
Or it will be ghosted halfway, and it will be determined that it will automatically find the lone prey.
As for the responsibility of being a director, it is to ensure that at least one newcomer does not die in this situation.
Otherwise, even as a director, if the number of people in this story book is drastically reduced.
Then all sorts of unfortunate things will happen next.
This is also the reason why this mysterious power automatically determines the strongest person in the team to be the director......
It can be said that each of these events is equivalent to a novel or a script. And Luo Qiu is more like an indispensable core character in the architecture story.
I remember that Chu Yufan also mentioned that the core characters of each storybook must not die first.
The danger level of a typical storybook also changes over time, if the central character is already dead at the beginning of the story......
Then, the rest can be said to be sentenced to death.
Of course, there are occasional deaths of the core characters at the last minute, but this situation is relatively fine, because by that time the difficulty of the storybook has almost reached a peak, and it is a bit difficult to improve it again.
Luo Qiu's identity at this time is not only himself, but also the director of the storybook, and even the protagonist......
The same task that weighs on the shoulders is beyond words.
