With a crisp sound, the door suddenly opened.

It was pitch black inside, and I couldn't see anything, and I could only vaguely see inside by the moonlight...... It's no different from his family in memory.

Following the location in my memory, I turned on the light in the living room—

But...... The room was empty, there was nothing, there was no human breath at all, and Xiao Li was not here.

"Xiao Li?" I screamed out hopelessly, and sure enough, no one paid any attention to me.

Presumably uncle, they must have also come to Xiao Li's house, right? If he's here...... Uncle, they already knew.

But...... What about Xiao Li's family? Why is there no connection? If I'm not mistaken...... At that time, Xiao Li told me that he also had an older brother who worked in another city.

So far, there is no connection.

The whole room went around and I didn't notice anything, it was like ...... Xiao Li suddenly evaporated from the world and disappeared completely.

"Where are you......" I muttered as I sat down, flipping through the newspaper on the table......

[Popular actress Yun Wanwei is missing!? Was it a kidnapping or was it premeditated!? ]

The glaring headline is on the front page of the newspaper, and you can see it...... Xiao Li is worried about this matter now, but how could I think of it...... That woman named Demi can be so ruthless!?

If that's really the case...... I will never forgive myself.

But just as I was flipping through the newspaper, a note suddenly fell out of it and fell at my feet.

If you continue to investigate, you do so at your own risk. It seems that you-' a one-sentence note, a twisted font...... and the six-pointed star pattern that looks like a message at the end......

What does this six-pointed star mean? Could it be...... I stood up abruptly and flipped through the whole of Xiao Li's house, but I didn't see the bottom half of the note.

If you guessed correctly...... This note was torn off, and there should be half of it underneath, but where did that half go?

Xiao Li's home decoration is very simple, so things are easy to find, but ...... I still don't have any clues.

Di Di Di –

At that moment, my phone rang suddenly!

I quickly took out my mobile phone and took a look, but I saw a strange and familiar number......

[See you in the woods after school at nine o'clock in the evening.] ]

There is no such thing as a name...... There is only one word of command...... If I'm not mistaken, it can only be the strange man, the one who asked me to burn the spirit card.

Glancing at the time, it was already eight o'clock in the evening, so I quickly packed up my things at home and locked the door of Xiao Li's house.

……

When I arrived at the agreed place, I suddenly became a little nervous, knowing that he might just be arranging a task for me, but ...... Now he's probably the only person I can turn to.

I had never looked forward to the arrival of that man at this moment, and I circled back and forth, all in my mind was the note on Xiao Li's desk.

It would have been nice to bring it out just now, I just left that one on the table......

Rustle –

Suddenly, there was a rustling sound around me, and I subconsciously turned around and saw which man had appeared a few meters away.

My chest pounded immediately, and I looked at him cautiously, though he was hooded, but ...... I could still clearly see his falcon-like eyes staring at me without a hint of warmth.

But he didn't speak, but took out a small bag of spirit cards from behind him.

I was a little disappointed, it seems...... He just asked me to come out today to complete the mission, but...... But there was an empty piece in my heart.

But...... Before I could react, I saw that he suddenly handed over a single spirit card!

I was slightly stunned, and subconsciously took it-

But...... The name on it suddenly stunned me!

Lee Tae-wo ...... Isn't this Xiao Li's name!? Although I always call him 'Xiao Li', that doesn't mean I don't know his name!

But this spirit card ...... Will you be mistaken!? My heart was pounding, and I subconsciously told myself that it wasn't true......

Slowly raised his head, but saw the strange man's expression.

"It's him." He said coldly.

All of a sudden, I just felt my head 'buzz', and I couldn't think about anything......

"But...... He's alive. At this moment, a distant voice suddenly sounded in my ears......

I looked at the man in a daze, feeling my thoughts ...... It seemed to slowly return to his head, what he had just meant...... Is he alive!? But why is there such a thing as a spirit card in life!?

"If he dies, the spirit card will change color, and when it turns black, he is already dead." He said lightly, and I immediately opened my phone to check the color of the spirit card......

Now it does take on a gray color, but ...... I don't know if it's my delusion, I even feel like it's getting darker a little bit!

"So what to do!? Where is he!? You know that right!? I immediately grabbed the man's arm and asked loudly.

But he frowned and shook off my hand!

"I don't know, someone asked me to give it to you, but that person is dead." As he spoke, he pointed to the spirit card on the ground, "It's the one you're going to burn in a moment." ”

I looked at him in a daze, and my hand in mid-air gradually lowered.

Who the hell is it...... It's as if everything I have is under his watch, and I can't do anything myself.

This feeling...... It's really terrible.

"Can you do me a favor......" I took a deep breath and slowly lifted my head.

……

Walking down the road, I was holding that token...... Put it in your own pocket.

I had just burned all the spirit cards, and those unwilling screams seemed to be echoing in my ears, making people's scalps tingle.

'3 New Street, though...... Don't blame me for not reminding you, it's not a good place. ’

The man's warning echoed in my ears, and although I asked for the address of the man who was dead, it was ...... Since he said so, I already had some enlightenment in my heart.

Although I was scared, the thought that Xiao Li was in the woman's hands made me go over with a hard head.

3 New Street...... I thought it was a community, but I found that 'New Street' turned out to be a street not far from Xiao Li's house, and No. 3 was one of the stores.

It was already three o'clock in the morning, and I was silently walking down the street, and my heart was extremely calm.

The whole street was already dark, but ...... Only the store on the third ...... It's a faint light!

When I got closer, it turned out to be a cold drink shop.

Doubts suddenly grew in my mind...... Is this what he said...... 'be mentally prepared'?

Taking a deep breath, I walked forward cautiously, still vigilantly—

Ding Dong –

When you enter the door, the bell on the door makes a crisp sound, which is particularly abrupt in the quiet of the night.

There are only a few candles in the storefront that emit a faint glow, jumping candles...... It seemed to be extinguished at any moment, and the wind blew wildly from when I opened the door.

But...... When I went in, there was no one inside, it was like......

A shudder made me shudder, and I found a random place to sit down, and I stared cautiously at the back of the small door...... Is someone watching?

Could it be ......

"Anyone?" I shouted out loud and ...... I heard a strange voice coming from behind the door—

Creak...... The sound gave me goosebumps all over my body, and I was not distracted at all......

Keep an eye on the door, but ...... Suddenly, I felt an extra hand on my shoulder!

Jumping up from the stool, I subconsciously took a few steps back before turning around!

Saw...... I don't know when a man stood behind me, looking at me with a pair of eyes wide open, without blinking......

A stirring spirit in my heart for no reason, I swallowed a mouthful of spit with difficulty, and cautiously asked, "Are you ......?"

"You're going to ...... What ...... to drink? He turned his head slightly, and a strange smile slowly jumped at the corner of his mouth, and his front teeth were bared, and the black and yellow front teeth made me feel a little nauseous.

"It's okay, I don't want it." I quickly waved my hand and went to open the door, but ......

Before I could step one foot down, I felt the hand on my shoulder again!

"Do you want to ...... What to drink? "It's that weird gurgling sound again...... I can't help but feel a stirring in my heart.

"It's nothing, I'll go first!" I didn't come back from the practice, I just opened the door and left here!

The sight behind him...... It seemed to be so focused on me that I didn't have the courage to look back and see what was going on......

It was only after walking out of the street that the sight seemed to disappear, and I slowly patted my chest against the wall, smoothing the breath that I had barely breathed just now.

……

Before you know it, the sky is already bright, and office workers soon appear on the streets.

It's a weekday, so ...... As soon as seven or eight o'clock in the morning arrived, everyone started to get busy, no matter where they were.

I was still standing on that corner, a little afraid to step forward......

What happened last night still seems to be vivid, and it makes me feel palpitating...... And a little more fear.

After coming down from Jungnam Mountain, I thought that my heart would be stronger, but ...... I still think highly of myself.

Syllable! At that moment, a hand suddenly came to my shoulder!

I was startled and jumped out of the corner!

But...... When I turned around, I saw a familiar face......

"Lu Yan? Why are you here? "It's the front desk of the police station! How could he be here!?

"Why are you ......" I looked at him stunned, "aren't you going to work?" ”

"Our police station is on the back street, and my house is on the front street, so ...... Is there anything strange about passing by here every day? He explained as he looked at me even more strangely.

I glanced in the direction he was pointing and walked out of the street...... It does seem familiar.

Could it be ...... New Street is right next door to the police station? Whereas...... Is it close to my school too?

My mind was suddenly a little cloudy, could it be ...... I actually wandered around the school last night?

"What the hell is going on with you? Alone here? He reached out and shook it in front of me.

"Ahem...... I was about to buy a milk tea and stop by to see my uncle. "I casually came up with a reason, but I didn't expect this guy to really believe it.

"Milk tea? But I recommend this one on the 3rd, it tastes really good, I'll take you there! Amway for you! As soon as Xiao Wang heard this, he immediately put his arm on my shoulder and walked over there......

Wait, wait!? What he just said was...... Number 3!? I instinctively suspected that I had misheard, but ...... When he actually took me to the door of the store I had just visited last night, my heart jumped again!

Why here!?

I saw that before I could refuse, Xiao Wang pushed open the door-

"Boss, two cups of bubble tea!" He shouted as soon as he entered, and the bell at the door still rang crisply.

I cautiously followed him, but ...... After looking around, it seemed to be exactly the same as last night, except that the strange candle was missing from the table.

There was not even a trace of wax, and the clean table seemed to have been wiped down.

"It's coming!" At this time, a shout came from inside!
