Wesley Avenue

Yu Siqi would never have thought that Gong Chen would be particularly interested in Xin Yuanla's report, and it was this interest that drove them to skip work after they hurriedly finished lunch in the cafeteria, oh no, it was routine.

Gong Chen called this special situation attendance, but for Yu Siqi, who had already taken the time to read the employee code not long ago, this should be "early start" and did not run.

With the slightest breeze blowing in the afternoon, they soon arrived at the location indicated in the report——。 Strictly speaking, it doesn't look like a street, but rather like an old-fashioned residential area. Dotted with garden houses have taken root in the land, and the once glamorous facades have been blackened by years of smoke.

Because of a horrific incident that happened here not long ago, the nerves of most of the local residents are still tense. The confinement of the doors and windows and the suspicious examination of the behavior of outsiders are a sign of timidity and panic in their hearts.

Walking on the deserted streets, only a few residents who originally had doors and windows open were very annoyed when they saw Yu Siqi and the others also sealing all the external interfaces with lightning speed. Especially Gong Chen, when they passed by the incident site just now, they were actually scolded by the old lady next door, and they had no chance to get close to observe it in such a loud voice.

It is not Gong Chen's character to return in vain, and at the moment when he caught the old lady going out to take out the garbage, Gong Chen led Yu Siqi to slip from under her nose to her backyard and hid.

"Thankfully, those two ghostly guys are gone." The old lady's voice reached Yu Siqi's ears through the wall, and it sounded very unpleasant.

"Which gossip weekly is it again? Those little bunnies love to have nothing to do, and sooner or later I will teach them a good lesson. A thick male voice said.

"Be quiet, if the neighbors hear it, maybe they will gossip again!"

"Isn't there less gossip from those nasty ghosts, isn't it just that someone died next door, and it seems that the responsibility is all on us."

"Like, you should really listen to what that old pervert Myron has to say."

"That old thing kept holding a grudge against me for exposing him for peeking at the little girl taking a bath, and I knew he must have a grudge."

It was not Yu Siqi's intention to hide in the corner of other people's walls and eavesdrop on other people's private words, but at the moment he really had nowhere to go. Gong Chen was still picking the lock in front of the sealed door, and he was instructed to do the trick here.

In Yu Siqi's imagination, even if an investigator like them didn't have a police car to open the road, no one would stop them wherever they went. But the truth is that they are like thieves, doing things that are not legally and morally acceptable.

With the slight sound of the bolt popping out, Gong Chen proudly made an "ok" gesture to Yu Siqi and took the lead in touching the house.

While the two people in the house were still loudly counting the bad neighbors around them, Yu Siqi climbed into the next door, dodged into the house and closed the door.

The unpleasant smell was irritating Yu Siqi's nasal passages, and Gong Chen, who had already put on a mask, took out another one from his pocket and handed it to Yu Siqi, and it could be seen that he seemed to be well prepared.

Breathing through a mesh is not a comfortable thing, but the filtered air quality can obviously make Yu Siqi feel a lot better.

Without asking Siqi carefully, Gong Chen took out his gloves and handed them to him and said, "Bring them, don't touch anything here." ”

"Any questions?" Yu Siqi took the glove and asked.

"Just go up and have a look," Gong Chen carefully took Yu Siqi around the furniture covered with a white cloth and came to the bedroom on the second floor.

If he hadn't seen the bedroom door, Yu Siqi probably wouldn't have thought about how serious the matter was. The snow-white bedroom door was covered with black spots like mold, the brass handles had been eroded to pitch black, and a pungent smell was coming from behind the door.

Looking at the ominous door, Yu Siqi had the illusion that the corpse might still be behind the door. Of course, that was impossible, because a follow-up report from Xin's report pointed out that the room had already been "cleaned up" by the Accident Elimination Section three days earlier.

But judging from the current scene, this situation has nothing to do with the word "clean"!

"The problem is more serious than I thought," Gong Chen said, opening Xin Yuanla's report, "Since I heard you tell you about this report, I have guessed what the situation is, and now this phenomenon has basically confirmed my conjecture." ”

"Mind explaining?" Yu Siqi asked.

"Of course, that's exactly what I want to tell you." Gong Chen said: "Morel mushroom, a plant in the abyss, usually does not appear on the surface. Because they are not often found on the surface, they emit a particularly pungent odor once exposed to the ground. See those dark spots around the door? That's the larvae of the morel mushroom, which is still inactive and not very aggressive. But if you set it on fire with a fire, its reproduction rate will increase exponentially. ”

"There are no traces of fire here, why are there so many." Yu Siqi felt a little uncomfortable after taking a few glances at the door.

Gong Chen smiled, opened the door with a clothes pole that came from nowhere, and said, "Do you remember the report that the owner of this room took medicine from unknown sources?" I am afraid that someone mixed morels in tobacco and made him trap, and from the moment the flame burned, his body became a seedbed for the morels larvae. Let me tell you what happens when you get more than a certain amount of morel mushrooms in a living organism. ”

"Don't tell me it has anything to do with hallucinations," Yu Siqi tried to keep himself from looking into the room, and the number of dark spots inside made him completely give up the courage to look closely, who was already slightly dense phobia.

"It's very smart," said Gong Chen, "it's breeding when it's ignited, so it doesn't cause too many anomalies in the unlucky guy's body, which we usually call "temporary calm." But once the breeding is over, then his "good days" will come to an end. ”

"That's why what happened in the report," Yu Siqi already knew what kind of tragic story it was.

"It's time to put an end to this tragic story, and to give your new investigator a long insight." Gong Chen took out a ** liquor, a handful of melon seeds, two marbles and a bunch of miscellaneous bags from his pocket, and probably even he himself might not be able to answer how many things were stuffed in Gong Chen's pocket.

"What are morels afraid of?" Yu Siqi flipped through the report, and it did not point out the answer in detail, which made him somewhat disappointed, it seems that this Xin Mira is still not "careful" enough!

"I'm afraid of this," Gong Chen shook the liquor in his hand, took a sip and said, "Oh, it's not good to be greedy, you can't drive later." ”

"Liquor?" Yu Siqi smelled a strong aroma of wine and said, "This wine is good." ”

"Hehe, I made it myself." Gong Chen poured a few more mouthfuls into his mouth and said, "Anyway, I can't drive anymore, so just drink more." ”

"Hey, we've got got to get down to business!" Yu Siqi frowned slightly and said, "Those morels are still waiting for you to solve them!" ”

"Got it," Gong Chen's cheeks began to redden, and he staggered to the ground and said, "This is really strong." ”

Facing Gong Chen, who was suddenly a little drunk, Yu Siqi really had the urge to beat him, but he held back with a kind heart. Like a gentle elder, he told Gong Chen what to do now and what not to do.

"Isn't it just a mere morel mushroom, burp" Gong Chen burped and said: "As long as I brew this ** privately, the burp and a small half handful of flour can easily solve the burp"

"You're drunk" Yu Siqi looked at the less than half of the ** liquor in Gong Chen's hand, and hurriedly snatched it down and said, "If you drink it again, something will happen!" ”

"Give it back to me," the drunken Gong Chen stretched out his hand to get his wine back, but he grabbed the coffee table foot on the side because he was dazzled.

Suddenly, the dark spots on the door seemed to come to life, rushing towards them at a speed visible to the naked eye. After kicking Gong Chen, who was pressing against his legs, Yu Siqi was a little flustered looking for something that might be flour in the pile of debris, but the morels were so fast that they began to climb up his trouser legs and burrow into his skin through his socks.

Seeing that he couldn't stop the morel mushroom, he found a box of waterproof matches in the pile of debris. The flames can "calm them down for a while", which may be an opportunity. Pouring the remaining half of the ** liquor in his hand on his pants, Yu Siqi smiled bitterly, and planned to draw the match, but he didn't want to suddenly be in front of him, and he couldn't see anything clearly.

Listening to the sound of ** cracking, I felt the overwhelming dust choking myself and coughing dryly. After he coughed vigorously a few times in a row, he was gray and saw a woman with short hair looking at him and Gong Chen with a caring and mentally retarded look.

"Who are you?" Yu Siqi was a little confused by the sudden series of events, and after patting the flour off his body, he looked at Gong Chen, who was still snoring on the ground, and turned his face to ask.

"Xin Yuanla," the short-haired woman glanced at Yu Siqi indifferently and said, "In a sense, I really think highly of you, and sure enough, this kind of thing should be solved personally." ”

"Wait, you're the one who wrote that report to me." Yu Siqi said, "Why are you here?" ”

"You should be grateful for my presence, otherwise you and that 'lazy worm' on the ground will become the new home of the morel mushroom." Xinela bent down to pick up the report and said, "Okay, the matter is settled, I should go back to take a shower." I hope that the next time we meet, you will be more useful. ”

"Hey, can you say something to someone?" Yu Siqi said unwillingly, but Xin Yuanla only paused slightly, and then went downstairs.
