Chapter 149: The Broken Phone
A beep echoed in my ears, and after about a dozen rings, no one answered, and I shook my head helplessly and prepared to hang up.
But at this moment, there was a sudden stabbing sound, and then the phone was picked up!
The mobile phone I had just taken away immediately hit my ear, and my heart suddenly lifted!
But no one was talking over there, and I tried to listen to the movement over there, but it seemed that after a bad signal, it was completely quiet.
I had no choice but to speak first, "Hello, is it Meiling's parent?" I'm hersβ"
But before I could finish my words, I heard a sudden screeching voice from there, and I immediately took the phone away!
I felt as if my eardrum was about to be pierced, but the sound seemed to only last for a second, and I quickly grabbed the phone.
Doodoooooo β
But it was hung up over there, and there was already a busy sound on the phone.
"What's wrong?" Yan Yun looked at me and asked after coming out of the room.
"Just connected! But...... But I was hung up again! I quickly explained, and Yan Yun snatched my phone away!
"You said you got through!? I'll try! She quickly dialed the call log just now, but the display over there was indeed turned off.
"Are you sure you got through?" She looked at me strangely, as if I had lied to her.
I quickly swore, "I got through, but I hung up without saying anything." β
But...... Who, exactly? Why did the person on the other end of the line hang up when they heard me? Is she Meiling's family? Everything is like an unknown mystery.
I tried a few more times after that, but each time it turned off, as if the other side of the phone was out of power after my phone.
But regardless of whether her relatives are found or not, the first seven things still have to be done, although there are not enough people this time.
"Are you all set?" I looked at Yan Yun who was busy and asked, she seems to have a lot of things going on lately, and she runs around every day.
"Not yet, but you go first, I'll go over at night, you bring things or something first, and I'll bring you over at night." Yan Yun said and pointed to a black schoolbag in the corner.
I glanced at it, and it was full of burnt paper and a few paper talismans, as well as a spirit tablet made for Meiling.
I don't know if this works, but ...... We have also prepared for Mr. Chai Yi once before, so we should ...... Works, right?
When I arrived at the forensic hall, it seemed that it was still busy, and I had already called before, so I could go directly to see Meiling for the last time.
However, most of the bodies here have already been cremated, so there is not much time left for Meiling to remain intact here, and I must find her family before then.
"Be careful yourself, don't touch anything." The man who took me down spoke to me.
I nodded quickly, I don't know what he was talking about, but I wouldn't touch it even if I were asked to touch it in this kind of place.
Meiling was parked in the second room at the elevator door, and as soon as I entered, I was stimulated by the smell of a large smell of formalin.
The smell hit my nose and I immediately choked and coughed!
As soon as I looked up, I saw that the medical examiner threw me a 'you really can't do it' look.
Meiling was soaking there at this time, exactly the same as I saw a few days ago, except that ...... I don't know why I suddenly felt something strange about her expression.
"After a long time, it will be a little swollen in formalin, normal." The medical examiner explained to me as if he knew what I was thinking.
I nodded, and quickly took the red marble out.
"What are you going to do?" The medical examiner gave me a wary look.
"I want to give her this marble, I think it's supposed to be hers." This thing appeared to me the day after Meiling's death, so I believe that this is the will of heaven in the dark.
Maybe it's time for things to be returned to their rightful owners.
"You can't throw this thing in, we have rules." He gave me a cold look and stopped me.
I naturally know that Meiling's body is still valuable before the case is solved, so the evidence must not be destroyed.
I just put the marble on the table with Meiling's corpse in it, and the red marble seemed to be even brighter than yesterday......
It looks like human blood, exuding a demonic red, making people unable to open their eyes.
"Meiling, I hope you can be well, and we will send you away in the evening." I bowed slightly to Meiling, which was the last goodbye to her.
After leaving the forensic hall, I took those things to Meiling's house.
Her home is still so messy, after the last evidence, it seems that it still retains its previous appearance, the garbage on the ground is still no one to clean up, and the pair of limited-edition AJ on the ground is still lying there quietly.
I seem to have come over this time...... I'm more calm than the last time I came by myself, and it seems......
It's not as bad as it used to be.
But when it got dark, I suddenly regretted that feeling...... Now it's so cold that there's not even a heating in the house, and the whole house is no different from an ice cellar, even colder than a dormitory.
And that eerie feeling has always haunted me, and although I have a flashlight on me, it doesn't work at all now.
Except where the light was involved, everything else was pitch black, and nothing could be seen.
The smell of blood in the room had slowly dissipated, and now what was left was ...... Only that smell of garbage rotting.
glanced at the phone, it was already eleven o'clock in the evening, but Yan Yun still didn't come.
Midnight is the most suitable time for the first seven, is Yan Yun delayed by something?
I made a phone call, but the line was busy.
Is there something wrong with her? I hung up the phone, wrapped up my clothes and shivered around the room.
Knock Knock Knock β
As I was walking around the room, there was a clear knock on the door.
I was so startled that the hairs on my neck counted down!
I heard you right...... I clenched my fists tightly, and my hands were already shaking uncontrollably.
But after about half a minute, the voice didn't come back again, and I wondered if I was having auditory hallucinations, or maybe someone had come in from the other side......
Knock Knock Knock β
Then, the voice rang out again, and I was startled again, and immediately held my breath!
At this time, the door of Meiling's house was closed, and I was a little scared at night so I closed it, but this is ......
"Yan Yun?" I tried to scream, but no one answered me outside.
I shouted again, this time audible for sure, but it was still quiet outside, as if no one was there.
Knock knock knock - still the knock on the door, I tried to calm my pounding heart, and slowly approached the door.
There is a cat's eye on the door this time, so I can see who is outside.
But...... The corridor was also pitch black, and I could only see the appearance of the corridor vaguely by the moonlight.
But there's no one outside......
Thorn ...... Thorn ...... After a while, it was as if something was coming from next door, as if it were ...... Something is dragging on the ground......
I nervously tightened my clothes and struggled to get through the sound......
I still don't know who the people living across from me are, as if they won't come out no matter what happens......
But the voice seemed to be right in the ears, making it impossible to discern the direction......
I don't know how long it took for the knock to sound again, and I was startled and immediately got up from my stool!
"Lu Yan!? Hurry up and open the door! "But this time, a familiar voice came from outside.
I hurriedly opened the door, and saw Yan Yun standing at the door with a shrunk face, bringing in a cold air as soon as she came in.
But the next ceremony was carried out in an orderly manner, I don't know if we had already done it once before, so this time it was very fast, I thought something would definitely happen in the middle, after all, last time......
Thinking back to the last time I was at the crossroads, I was scared that if I hadn't run fast, I might not be here now.
But this time it went smoothly and terrible, and nothing happened in between, which ...... Is it considered a success?
I thought I would be able to see Meiling's soul, but I didn't see anything, but I could feel that there seemed to be a vague aura lingering around the room.
After the ceremony of the first seventh, Yan Yun and I did not stay here for long, and hurried back to school.
Although it was already the middle of the night, Peng Zhe told me a shortcut that could go directly into the school without knowing it.
I can't go back to my dorm, but I can spend the night in the office.
β¦β¦
Until the next day, nothing happened.
I even had some doubts about whether Meiling's soul really came over when I was seven, and I had already gone to the forensic hall once.
"Don't think about it, maybe Meiling has left us." Yan Yun said, as if she didn't feel strange at all, and handed me a cup of coffee.
I looked at the steaming instant coffee and suddenly thought of poetry.
She hasn't replied to my message yet, I don't know if she saw it, or if she doesn't want to reply?
"I hope so......" I shook my head helplessly, I didn't know how long this balance could last, I just hoped that Meiling could be reincarnated and start over.
"Don't worry, it's going to be fine. Meiling is not that kind of child. Yan Yun patted me on the shoulder and comforted.
Yan Yun still had something to go out today, so she went out early in the morning.
I turned on my phone, but suddenly I saw that the call I made yesterday was still at the top of my phone.
Will it still be shut down? I almost got out of the gods, but ......
I was startled and tried to press it off, but I just put it in my ear...... Suddenly, there was no beep.
This is...... It's a little quiet and scary over there, but someone picked it up?
"Hello?" I asked cautiously, it was still quiet and terrible, as if it were ...... I could faintly hear a whining sound coming from there.
"Anyone? Is it Meiling's family? I asked cautiously, expecting no one to answer, but suddenly a strange voice came.
"Who are you?" There was a timid voice over there, I couldn't tell the age, but...... But it makes people feel a little scared.
"I'm Meiling's classmate, you are ......," I hurriedly said, but there was suddenly no sound over there.
I fed it a few more times, but ...... It was hung up all of a sudden!
What the hell is going on? I thought I had misheard, but it wasn't until a busy beep from there that I was alerted that the phone had been hung up.
I looked at my phone in a daze, and the phone was already ......
When I thought about it again, it was still turned off! What the hell is going on!?
I got up from my stool all at once, isn't it someone over there...... Don't know who Meiling is? Did I make the wrong call to hang up?
