Late at night, heavy rain.

An old-fashioned Xiali is parked in front of the hallway of a residential building.

A long-awaited figure ran out of the hallway.

Click-

The door button falls and is locked from the inside.

The rapid thud of the desperate banging on the door stirred up the sensor lights in the hallway, and the lights came on.

Illuminate the pretty faces smiling happily in the car.

Illuminating the poor weak and helpless wet cheeks outside the window.

"Stop making a fuss." A steady voice came from the cab.

"Oh."

The button popped back, and Shen Qian was finally able to pull the car door and sit in the car with cold and moisture.

Shen Qian, who was almost drenched, shrank in the corner of the back seat, distanced himself from Yang Chunxue, and wrote "Why did you do something wrong to me like this?" all over her face.

But he didn't dare to question.

"I found its diary."

Lu Li started the car and slowly left the residential building.

"Who's?" Shen Qian subconsciously asked, and after reacting, he said, "Liu Zhen? ”

"Hmm."

Shen Qian stole a glance at Yang Chunxue and shrunk his neck: "So where are we going next?" ”

"I want to play on my phone!"

Yang Chunxue suddenly shouted, the ghost hand stretched out, straight through the back of the chair and Lu Li's chest, her five fingers apart, and swayed in front of Lu Li.

Handing over the mobile phone to Yang Chunxue, Lu Li turned the steering wheel and drove away from the main entrance of the community.

"Go to the door."

The occasional oncoming traffic on the street brings a touch of life to the rainy night.

In the car, Lu Li recounted the contents of the diary in full.

After speaking, the car fell silent.

One person and one ghost are thinking about it.

"So Liu Zhen is not a water ghost, and he is not drowned. He died because he entered that door, and after turning into a ghost, he accidentally broke away from behind the door. But the door didn't intend to let it go, and the constant mental contamination of him forced him to have to get close to the door to stay awake until he was back behind the door...... That's what it means, right? ”

Shen Qian guessed.

Yang Chunxue, who pretended to play with her mobile phone but was actually eavesdropping, blurted out: "It's like a hooked fish, no matter how much it breaks free and stays away, it's just that the angler is deliberately releasing the line, and in the end it will still be tightened and fished ashore?" ”

There was an eerie dead silence in the car for a moment.

"A very apt analogy." Lu left the mouth, breaking the solemn atmosphere.

"What's behind the door?" Yang Chunxue frowned and asked.

"It's the ultimate." Shen Qian's words are chiseled. "Behind the door is the ultimate of all things."

"The diary wasn't written." Lu Li replied. It was disappointing, and he thought that Liu Zhen would write down everything that happened in it—he was like a guy who would write anything down in his diary.

Is it that the mental state does not allow it, or is it afraid to recall, or something else?

"Is it too late for us to go now?" Yang Chunxue asked.

"I don't know."

The atmosphere inside the car fell silent.

There are no pedestrians on the roadside, and only a few 24-hour shops are open on the street, with a hazy halo scattered through the rain.

Splashing water on the side of the road, they approached Guluo Street.

Drive over the bridge and onto the pedestrian street – of course cars are not allowed here, but that's not the case in the middle of the night on a stormy night.

The car slowed down in the middle of the pedestrian street and gradually approached the guardrail.

Unlike the noise of the rain, it came from outside the car, and became louder and clearer as the windows were rolled up.

The Tang River is no longer as gentle as it was a few days ago, and the white waves of the river rush down and downstream.

At the mouth of the sewer, stagnant water from the reservoir is leaking out.

People standing in front of the entrance will definitely be washed over.

"It's too late." Lu Li exhaled a turbid breath.

After several days of running, the hard-earned accumulation was washed away by the river at this time.

Yang Chunxue's gaze moved away from the river under the guardrail and landed on Lu Li. The face was unexpectedly calm, as usual.

She thought that even if Lu Li would not be angry, he would show a little annoyance.

At this moment, Yang Chunxue noticed that Lu Li's black eyes moved, his gaze fell on the opposite side, and his pupils instantly contracted a few points.

"What's wrong?" Yang Chunxue asked.

"Someone on the other side of the river is watching me." Lu Li stared into the depths of darkness and added, "There is no yin qi." ”

"That's certainly not a hallucination!" Shen Qian, who also wanted to see the Tang River but didn't dare to get close to Yang Chunxue, shouted.

I don't know who prescribed it, but when the person being targeted perceives something, he will definitely say something like "Am I dazzled, am I mistaken?" and then ignore it.

"I know." Lu Li replied, of course he knew.

The feeling of being spied on is still there, and there seems to be no intention to hide it...... Is it the "hand" of a third-party force? Is it warning?

"Shall I take a look?" Yang Chunxue was eager to try.

"No, we don't have anything to do with it."

Lu Li retracted his gaze and rolled up the window a little.

He'll come back again when the rain stops and the water level drops. If the sewer door changes, you can be sure that your guess is correct: a third party is intervening.

Lu Li stepped on the accelerator, the car turned around and returned the same way, gradually moving away from the hustle and bustle of the river.

Shen Qian was a little unwilling. He had followed his boss for three years and had never been so close to a clue. The same is true for Yang Chunxue. The experience of trying for days and finally getting nothing was terrible.

Shen Qian comforted: "There will be other clues, we can improve our strength now, and in the future, if we encounter any ghosts, we will beat the ghost king first and then ask if you know the whereabouts of your girlfriend." ”

“…… What is this intellectual disability classification? Yang Chunxue mocked mercilessly, and changed her words: "But what this guy said is right, you still need to be hard to strike iron, and there is no harm in overtaking more ghosts." For example, the old female ghost in the village at the foot of the mountain can do it, she is really too small and was scared away by me hahahahaha...... Hahaha......? ”

The smile gradually froze, and Yang Chunxue looked at Lu Li who suddenly looked at him blankly.

"Road...... Lu ......" Shen Qian pointed forward, wanting to remind Lu Li to look at the road.

"That old woman came in the middle of the night? That night at the foot of the mountain? Lu Li slowed down the car as an answer to Shen Qian and asked Yang Chunxue.

"yes." Yang Chunxue's eyes were even more dazed.

At the front of the road, a male ghost standing in twist and shape sits in the middle of the intersection ahead, holding an iron axe. The dislocated chin was wide open, revealing a hideous smile.

"Road...... Ghost...... Lu ......" Shen Qian's eyes suddenly widened.

"Why didn't you say it earlier?" Lu Li frowned slightly.

"You didn't ask." Yang Chunxue's reply was lacking in qi.

She vaguely felt as if she had become a pig teammate.

"Bump...... Yes...... Road...... Ghost ......" Shen Qianyu grabbed the seat incoherently, watching the car get closer and closer to the male ghost.

Under the headlights that got closer and closer, the male ghost froze at the illuminated grin.

Knock –

The body shook slightly, as if it had hit something.

Lu Li suddenly stepped on the brakes, and in the sound of sharp friction, the old-fashioned Xiali slid more than ten meters on the slippery road and was about to stop.

"Why did it stop? Where are we going? Yang Chunxue faintly realized something.

Lu Li reversed a section backwards, retreated to the intersection and stopped, ready to turn around.

The body shook slightly, as if it had run over something.

"Back to the village at the foot of the mountain."
