Chapter 76: Midnight Ringing
Half past nine in the evening.
After presiding over three summons in a row, Chen Xi was so tired that he returned to the rental house and fell asleep.
Toot toot.
I don't know how long it took, but a familiar ringtone of the mobile phone rang in my ears.
Chen Xi's eyelids moved, and he slowly opened his heavy eyelids.
Glancing at the time of the phone, it was only eleven o'clock in the evening.
How long did he sleep?
About an hour and a half.
For an hour and a half, the sleep time was too short, Chen Xi was so sleepy that he didn't want to answer the phone, he just wanted to close his eyes and fall asleep, never waking up.
But he didn't sleep because the caller was his father.
After connecting the phone, Chen Xi turned on the hands-free function and put the phone to his ear.
I just heard my father say: "Xiaotang is not where you are?" ”
Chen Xi was very sleepy, he didn't have time to think about the meaning of his father's words, and he didn't pay attention to the nervous tone, so he closed his eyes and replied, "No." ”
"That's right...... If Sugar is with you, remember to call to say safe. ”
Chen Xi was half-asleep, heard the first and last sentences, missed the middle sentences, and subconsciously said perfunctorily: "Got it." ”
After saying this, Chen Xi fell asleep completely, not knowing what happened next.
Xiao Ash heard Chen Xi speak, lying on the pillow and suddenly raised his head, and after a while, he heard the sound of peaceful breathing from Chen Xi's nose, and then lowered his head.
Toot toot.
Another hurried phone call pierced the silent night.
Chen Xi was noisy to death by the ringing, sleepy and annoyed.
"Who, don't bother!"
He glanced at the phone irritably, and saw that the caller was still his father, and the time had come to the unbelievable "00:01".
00:01!
If it weren't for the caller writing the word "Dad", Chen Xi would definitely blacklist the caller.
"Hello?" Chen Xi didn't want to talk much and was very sleepy.
"Isn't Sugar there?" Dad said anxiously.
Chen Xi frowned, it seems that he had heard this question somewhere.
"Not there."
After Chen Xi said this, he suddenly felt a sense of familiarity, as if he had said the same thing.
The same scene, the same dialogue, all mention Xiaotang, but the difference is the time.
Without waiting for his father to continue to ask, Chen Xi noticed that something was wrong and hurriedly interrupted: "Dad, what happened to Xiaotang?" ”
"Didn't I tell you before, Xiaotang went out to party and didn't come home at eleven o'clock at night, and now at twelve o'clock at night, she has never tried to be so late and not come home, I'm worried about ......"
Chen Xi heard that Xiao Tang hadn't come home yet, and his sleepiness was occupied by a sudden sense of nervousness.
"Have you tried making a phone call?"
"No, it can't be done." His dad said.
Then Chen Xi asked about other things, and learned that his sister went out at more than eight o'clock, and there were three female students at the party, no male classmates, and the party place was not told to the family.
As for the time to go home, Xiaotang told her parents to go home at ten o'clock in the evening before leaving.
Unexpectedly, Xiaotang's phone call couldn't get through now, and the time was until twelve o'clock in the evening, and the two of them died in a hurry.
Chen Xi hung up the phone and tried to call his sister, but the phone beeped for dozens of seconds, but no one answered.
"Where the hell did Xiao Sugar go to party, won't he be abducted on the road?" Chen Xixin said.
After all, Chen Xiaotang has no power to restrain the chicken, has a good heart, and it is difficult to refuse the kindness of others, and the possibility of being abducted is very high.
Chen Xi's brows were tightly furrowed, and he immediately asked Xiao Ash to go out and look around, starting from the KTV box first.
"It's only Ash and I looking for someone, the efficiency is too slow, and it would be convenient if I also had a bunch of ghosts." Chen Xi muttered to himself.
He found that the ghost control technique was also very useful, and the search efficiency of multi-headed ghosts was much higher than that of Ash.
The key item of ghost control is something like a pocket watch that can contain ghost things, and he can try to summon a similar item in the future, and then ask the classroom master to teach him ghost control art.
Now that my spirit is low, I can't finish drawing the summoning map, so it's important to find someone at the moment.
Chen Xi went up to the third floor to wake up the head of the room, saying that his sister had not returned in the middle of the night and asked him to help.
Zhou Wenbin was a little sleepy, but when he heard that Chen Xi's sister had an accident, he was obligated to say: "Wrap it up on me!" ”
He immediately took out his pocket watch and pulled out eleven cigarettes in a row with his fingers.
The smoke fell to the ground, and the eleven puffs rang out in a row, summoning ten ghosts, which were all the belongings of the head of the room.
After a while, eleven ghosts watched the photos of Chen Xi's sister, as well as some daily short videos.
After the ghosts remembered Chen Xi's sister's appearance, they set off to search for Chen Xi's sister in major nightclubs.
Tongzhou City is not big, and it takes about an hour to search the entire urban area at the speed of the ghosts and ghosts.
In some places, access is tight, but ghosts can penetrate walls, and shadow creatures can drill through cracks, making it easy to find.
Chen Xi can't go through the wall, he goes out for a bicycle, and plans to go to Chengxi Park, where his sister usually likes to go.
Although the probability of encountering it is close to zero, it is a good way.
The head of the room also followed, his eyebrows were locked as he rode the bike, and he analyzed: "Chen Xi, do you think your sister will be involved in a supernatural event?" ”
When Chen Xi heard this, his riding speed slowed down and he began to think about the possibility of supernatural events.
After a while, Chen Xi came to a conclusion.
Quite possibly!
My sister had met a thirteen-step ghost at noon today, and it may have been targeted by a thirteen-step ghost.
Thinking of this, Chen Xi opened his yin and yang eyes, the world began to change, there was more gray yin qi, and the night was the active period for ghosts.
He glanced at the sky above the direction of the school, where there was a thin gray yin qi.
"Let's go, let's go to school." Chen Xi changed the direction of riding.
The two accelerated their rides and arrived at the school five minutes later.
When he went to the sky above the school, Chen Xi glanced at the sky above the school, and the so-called yin qi was not strong, and even very light.
Now that the gate of the middle school is closed, Chen Xi and his wife are both super physique, and they turned half a circle to find the low place of the school wall, and jumped over the wall.
After entering the campus, Chen Xi came to the teaching building.
The middle staircase has been locked, but there is a faint layer of yin at the staircase, and the yin qi is very thin.
The head of the room stepped forward and frowned, "This is the yin qi left by the ghosts, they are no longer there, I don't know when they were left." ”
Chen Xi once again relied on his superhuman physique to climb up to the second floor, looking at the twelve steps, the yin qi was a little thicker, but it was still very light.
"These yin qi were left behind two and a half hours ago."
Chen Xi muttered to himself, he stood on the twelfth staircase, counting again, there was no thirteenth step.
"By the way, don't you have a strange plant, use it to find a living person." The head of the room suddenly remembered that Chen Xi still had a plant.
Chen Xi shook his head, "That plant is dead." ”
"Uh......" The head of the room choked on, not knowing what to say.
Just when Chen Xi was clueless, the mobile phone rang again.
Chen Xi took out his mobile phone, and immediately looked overjoyed, and the caller wrote the word "sister".
Answering the phone, Chen Xi put the phone close to his ear and said worriedly: "Xiaotang, are you okay, why don't you go home in the middle of the night and go to the same school for the night?" ”
Rustle.
Xiao Tang did not reply to Chen Xi, but came with a rustling sound.
"Hey, Sugar, why don't you speak?"
Rustle.
There was still a rustle on the other end of the phone, nothing changed.
Chen Xi's heart hung again.
The head of the room on the side also heard the rustling sound, frowned, and said, "Xiaotang called, she may want to provide you with some information, but she can't convey it." ”
"You mean, she's in the gray world?"
Chen Xi remembered that he called the person in the dormitory next door in the gray world, and the other party could not hear Chen Xi talking, and Chen Xi could hear the other party say a few words intermittently.
His brow furrowed, and the more he thought about it, the more likely it became.
"I'm going to enter the gray world, do you have a way to get in?" Chen Xi's expression became firm.
"Yes." The head of the room nodded and said categorically: "You can enter the gray world by playing supernatural games!" ”
