Volume 1 The Tower of Flesh Chapter 44 The Mystery
The days passed peacefully.
Before you know it, two months have passed.
The only thing that Li Ben cares about a little is that he often has some weird dreams at night. This has never been done before.
In his dreams, he would see all kinds of horrific scenes and monsters, dream that he was killed by these monsters, and then wake up. Or always hear someone whispering in your ear, saying something inexplicable.
"Is it because there is too much stress in the subconscious because of the qualification to be the attending doctor?" he speculated, planning to wait for his free time to go to a psychological counseling center.
But having said that, he thinks he's never been available, so the matter is over.
On the other hand, Li Ben actually enjoys these exciting and weird dreams.
One day, Li Ben received a call from his mother saying that their old house had been splashed with paint and that several windows had been broken. Later, I called the police to check and found that it was a few bear children who were doing trouble.
According to the bear child's confession, it was learned that there was a strange person with a mask who paid them to do it.
Li Ben's parents asked if they had offended anyone, so they called their son to see if he had any clues.
Li Ben naturally didn't have a clue, the only thing he could think of was Su Xiaochuan, who had already been arrested.
The next day, when he returned to his apartment from work, he found a letter in the crack of the door, the words on the letter were printed by the computer, and the content was very simple, only one sentence:
You're going to die
There is no beginning and no end, and even the full stop is omitted.
This made him feel very uncomfortable and immediately called the police, but because of the lack of effective clues, the police could not do anything.
When Li Ben mentioned Su Xiaochuan, the police said that they would pay attention to the investigation, and then let Li Ben go back to normal life and work.
That night, Li Benheng did not feel sleepy, lying quietly on the bed and looking at the ceiling.
Naturally, this incident was linked to the fact that his hometown was splashed with paint, and he kept rummaging through his memory for the possible mastermind behind the scenes.
A patient who is dissatisfied with himself? How can he know who is dissatisfied with himself if he is not a mind reader? And so far, he has not received a case of serious injury and death, so even if anyone is really dissatisfied, he will not threaten to kill himself.......
Although the probability of this is very small, according to Murphy's Law, there will always be someone who is so unlucky, and he may be such a "lucky person"......
In the midst of these gratuitous associations, he noticed the sound of footsteps outside the house, and the person who made the sound seemed to be wandering back and forth, and the gada rattled non-stop.
Silently counting the footsteps, Li Ben tried to calm his anxious heart and take the opportunity to sleep peacefully.
Suddenly, the rhythm of the footsteps began to change.
There was a long pause as the phone rang, and the man from the outside picked up the phone and slowed down to walk. I should be listening carefully to the voice on the other end of the phone.
After a while, a female voice came, the volume was very small, a little trembling, and I couldn't hear the specific content clearly. It's just that the pace of that footstep has increased significantly.
The eavesdroppers in the house felt the woman's emotional changes, and their mood was unconsciously affected by it, and they became a little apprehensive.
After another moment, Li Ben heard the muffled sound of collision and the cry of a woman.
It was she who dropped the phone. Lee speculated.
Is it emotionally frustrated? When you talk about a crying woman, you naturally think of these kinds of questions.
Li Ben withdrew at this time, because he didn't understand why women were crying. Then he heard a car coming from the other side of the house, and the woman who was immersed in his emotions did not change much.
He frowned, thinking of something bad.
The hurried footsteps were accompanied by a man's shout, and stopped at a violent collision.
Li Ben saw a black shadow flashing from the car lights shining into the house outside the window, and it became a little mottled and blurred.
He immediately got up and went out to check, and found the woman lying in front of the car, motionless.
When the owner of the car saw the visitor, he hurriedly explained: "She ran over and hit it herself!"
............
Two days later, Li Ben learned from the news that the woman was actually a drug dealer, and her downline was arrested, and her family was afraid of being implicated, so they decisively abandoned her.
She knew that she would definitely betray herself when she went offline, and she would inevitably die after being caught, so she tried to commit suicide when she collapsed. But the night she crashed, she was only unconscious.
When he was at work, Li Ben saw Chen Yan's frowning appearance and asked him curiously, "Is there any tricky condition?"
Chen Yan shook his head and said, "It's not at work, it's A-Ying, I always feel that someone is following her when I go to school." ”
"Isn't it an illusion? Children like to think more. ”
"A-Ying, she is very well-behaved, and she is not a bear child, you don't know. Chen Yan said that he trusted his daughter very much.
"But actually, that's what I thought at first, kid, I laughed at her, and she ignored me. Two days later, she brought it up again, saying that she didn't dare to go to school alone, and finally asked her mother to send it over. So I wondered, is there really something wrong, otherwise how can there be so many things. ”
Li Ben asked him: "How long will Su Xiaochuan be sentenced?"
"You guess it's him? That's impossible, he's been sentenced to three years, and he's still squatting in it. As for his group of horse boys, they are just friends of wine and meat, and the trees are scattered, how can they stand up for him. ”
"I've actually encountered something recently...... Li Ben told Chen Yan about his experience.
"Shhhh It shouldn't be such a coincidence... I'll find someone to investigate and see if he really has some kind of bad friend or something. Chen Yan judged.
"Looking for someone... Do you have a private investigator friend?"
"No, it's my cousin's wife's cousin, and he has some special relationship. ”
When he went back that night, Li Ben found a box at the door of his house again, weighed it, and it was quite heavy.
When I opened it, I found that it was a blood-stained sheep's head, emitting a fishy smell.
He sent it to the police station again, and the policeman comforted him and said, "It's really nothing, it's worse than this, we've all seen and urine, and in the end those people are just scary." Rest assured, we will do our best to track it down, and you can still live and work normally. We'll send someone to keep an eye on your neighborhood for a while. ”
Two days later, when he went to work, Li Ben learned from Chen Yan that the few people arrested with Su Xiaochuan were only sentenced to a few weeks to a month or two because they didn't do anything too excessive, and now they have all come out.
Chen Yan had already entrusted his cousin's cousin to have someone visit and investigate.
Li Ben also mentioned the matter of the sheep's head, and Chen Yan couldn't do anything except comfort himself and comfort him at the same time.
And what happened next made Li Ben become worried.
In the month that followed, not only Li Ben himself, but also his family, received death threats, and every once in a while, there were all kinds of shocks and disharmony in the environment in which they lived.
Chen Yan told him that his wife also felt that she was being followed, and an invisible gaze sent chills down her spine.
The result of the investigation conducted by the commission was that none of the people who had been released were in their village, and those who knew them said that they had gone out to work together.
Is it really just a part-time job?
This doubt began to haunt Li Ben and Chen Yan's hearts.
"So far, there have been no substantial incidents of harm. Chen Yan said.
"Do you want to say that they are just thunder and rain?" said Lee.
Chen Yan nodded, and then Li Ben's phone rang, it was a call from his mother, and the other end of the phone informed Li Ben that an old dog they had had been poisoned.
Li Ben's mother reminded him with concern to be safe.
"The situation seems to have escalated further. Li Ben said.
Neither the police investigation nor the relationship between Chen Yan has been broken.
The people behind the scenes are like shadows, but their own side is difficult to reach.
The dead old dog has a deep relationship with Li Ben, although at his age, there is not much time to live, but natural death and being poisoned are not the same concept.
Li Ben asked the hospital for a week off, saying that he was going home to have a look, but in fact, he planned to take the initiative to investigate, to find out who was behind the scenes, and what was his intention?
If it is just simple intimidation and revenge, when will it be the end? Where would normal people go crazy and waste their energy for something that has already settled?
If Chen Yan is related to what is happening around him, he can move in multiple places at the same time, and the other party is obviously more than one person.
Li Ben was mentally prepared to deal with many people.
............
In another world, Beyotis had been waiting by the fire for about two hours.
The intensity of the flames had diminished significantly, and the darkness was closer to them.
The doctor still showed no signs of coming back to his senses, as if he had become a sculpture, not moving at all.
"What exactly do you see in the flames?" she questioned Leeben, asking herself as well.
"Except for burning..."
"Huh?" Beyotis suddenly sensed something in the darkness.
She looked around, and was surprised to see several black, twisted claws around Limben's shadow reflected by the firelight, breaking through the boundary between light and darkness, approaching him.
Beyotis immediately cast a light magic, and the black claws slowly disappeared under the white light.
"Chaos... This place is not safe. Her instincts told her that nothing good would happen to her being touched by those black claws.
Beyotis noticed that the victim that Li Ben had been holding was in a fairly normal form at this time, except for the strange texture and runes on the sword body, everything else was reasonable.
"Being able to deal damage to Jason, this sword must be as special as my gun. ”
She looked at the man in front of her carefully, and felt the urge to take off her mask and see his true face. But after thinking about it, I gave up.
She's not the kind of person who likes to peek into other people's secrets, especially if that person has a stake in her.
She understands that sometimes, knowing and not knowing, seemingly inconsequential little things, can lead the ending of the story in two completely different directions.
Since he couldn't solve the puzzle of this place by himself, it would be wiser to obediently guard around Li Ben.
