Chapter 25: The Way of Life

"Drink some hot water." Lu Qing brought a blanket and put it on Li Wenqiao, and then handed over the water cup in his hand. This is the fifth day of the mission, and the only dreambreakers involved are him, Li Wenqiao, and Chen Shuo. "Tomorrow is the last day, I don't know if I can get through it." Chen Shuo rarely smoked, but this time, he was also a little impatient.

"The hint given by Tian Jiawei is time, but I have listed all the times when the ghosts kill people, no matter how you calculate, you can't find a pattern." Lu Qing sighed: "I even made a chart. After speaking, he unfolded the notebook and handed it to Chen Shuo.

"It's strange that most of the time the ghosts kill people are concentrated." After reading it, Chen Shuo pointed to the chart and said: "Aside from the previous one, from the second day, all the time it started was concentrated in the evening, but on the third night, it didn't do it. ”

"On the fourth day, another operation was made during the day and three families were killed, but at night there was no action. And last night, it acted again. It can be seen from here that there is a certain interval between ghost killing, and according to this law, then we are safe for the time being between now and night. All the dangers will be concentrated tomorrow during the day! After Lu Qing finished speaking, he thought about it again: "But you see, the so-called safe period is not absolutely safe, and ghosts will occasionally kill people." ”

"According to the laws of space, if there are really conditions to restrict ghosts, then there will definitely be no such mistakes. So this speculation still doesn't hold up. The two discussed for a while, and then went back to square one.

"It seems that the actions of this ghost killing people are all random." Li Wenqiao, who was in a daze on the side, finally spoke: "If we can't find a way to live, then we can only pray that the ghosts won't choose us." ”

"Isn't this a random unknown mission?" Lu Qing clenched his fists: "Since there have been many hints, there must be some details that we have ignored......" The room numbers and time of the victims were studied by the three of them for an afternoon, but they had no clue. As Lu Qing guessed, none of the residents were killed by the ghosts during the day today, so it was safe tonight.

"Then I'll go back first, although I don't have to be on duty tonight, I always get together with you, I'm afraid that Wang Sheng will be suspicious." Chen Shuo said to the two of them after eating. "Okay." Lu Qing replied absentmindedly. Not long after Chen Shuo left, Li Wenqiao also proposed that he wanted to go back to the house quietly. Lu Qing sent her back to the room as usual.

"Brother Qing, I'm afraid I won't be able to go back this time." Li Wenqiao opened the door and did not go in directly. "What's wrong?" Lu Qing saw that her face was not quite right, and asked curiously. "Qian Jie died this morning, and I couldn't save her. Later, I met Mrs. Li when I was escaping, and in order to survive, I left her seriously injured aside, and used her death to buy myself the last time to escape. When Li Wenqiao said this, he hid his face and cried bitterly: "Am I despicable? For someone like me who has a dirty heart, it's better to die sooner......"

"You've done your best." Lu Qing held her shoulder and said, "You just want to live, don't blame yourself." "But ......" "Nothing, if I were you, I would have made the same choice." There should be nothing to do tonight, you have a good rest, and we will act together early tomorrow morning. ”

Li Wenqiao returned to the house and washed his face with cold water. Looking at herself in the mirror with red eyes, she took a deep breath. I didn't know why she said those words to Lu Qing just now, but when she thought of Lu Qing's words to comfort herself, she suddenly had infinite courage: "I must go back alive!" ”

Lu Qing lay in the house, looking at his mobile phone in a daze. Although tonight was safe, his mind was full of how to explore the way to survive, and after coming and going, he was already extremely sleepy and had insomnia. It was six o'clock in the morning, and after Lu Qing looked at the time, he found that the mobile phone was automatically turned off when it was out of power. In desperation, he suddenly remembered that Tang Tian's mobile phone was still in his bag, so he charged his mobile phone and took out Tang Tian's mobile phone.

He habitually clicked on the photo album to see if there was any change in the list of households. At this moment, he suddenly discovered that there was a video of about one minute in Tang Tian's system album, and the time to record the video was the day he was killed!

Lu Qing clicked on the video, and his eyes widened. This video was recorded by Tang Tian with a front camera, and behind Tang Tian in the video, Lu Qing saw Uncle Gen's ghost. And Tang Tian also noticed behind him through the video, he quickly switched the camera over, and what appeared in the picture was a medical record.

Soon, the picture flashed, Tang Tian held the phone and got up in a panic to leave, and finally the picture was pitch black, and the video ended. "This is the last clue that Brother Tang left us before his death......" Lu Qing turned the picture back to the front and fixed it on the medical record.

He took a screenshot and enlarged the picture, which was still very blurry, and after several confirmations, he finally saw some of the key words: Ye Wen, psychopathic sleepwalking, violence, split...... The truth finally came to the surface at this time, and Lu Qing also remembered that something was wrong.

It's already six o'clock in the morning, and it's too late! He immediately called Chen Shuo: "Hey, Chen Shuo?" Where is Wang Sheng now? "He? I was handed over a minute ago, and now I'm back to rest. Does he have any problems? Chen Shuo immediately sensed that something was wrong.

"Of course, you hurry up and chase him, don't let him sleep." Lu Qing shouted into the phone: "As soon as he falls asleep, Uncle Gen's ghost will appear!" When he is awake, he should not know his identity, so you don't have to be afraid, he is not a threat to you! "What? I'll go to him right away! Chen Shuo hung up the phone and hurriedly rushed out of the apartment.

Lu Qing also found Li Wenqiao to meet here, and the two stayed in the house, anxiously waiting for Chen Shuo's news. "If Wang Sheng is a ghost, then wouldn't Chen Shuo be very dangerous?" Li Wenqiao was anxious.

"No, as long as Wang Sheng is in a sober state, he will not cause harm to Chen Shuo." Lu Qing explained: "Actually, the murderer Ye Wen thirty years ago was Wang Sheng!" I saw Ye Wen's medical records in Brother Tang's video, which said that he suffered from severe psychopathic sleepwalking disorder before his death. When he is awake, he is no different from an ordinary person, but as soon as he falls asleep, he will enter a state of sleepwalking. ”

In the case of sleepwalking, Ye Wen's other evil personality will awaken, and his potential violent emotions will also be stimulated, so he killed the innocent mother and daughter on the second floor. It is recorded in the archives that the identity of this Ye Wen is the security guard of Building 14 of Lijingyuan Community! This is also why we were given the role of a security guard in this mission, now that I think about it, if the person who plays the role of a security guard is careful enough, he will find these clues, but unfortunately, Brother Tang didn't figure it out until he died. ”

This building is also a gathering place, and the mother and daughter who died here are resentful, and they can't leave, and they have been trapped here. And although Ye Wen spent thirty years in a psychiatric hospital, he turned into a ghost after his death and returned here. But he suffered from severe schizophrenia before his death, and he still maintained this after turning into a ghost. Therefore, he split into two parts: when he was awake, he was the approachable Wang Sheng, and when he fell asleep, he reverted to the identity of a powerful ghost. The name "Uncle Gen" is fake, but it is actually Ye Wen.

This also explains why the time of the ghost killing seems to be irregular, but there are traces to follow. Because this is exactly Wang Sheng's work and rest duty time! Lu Qing has always felt very strange why the mission has to stipulate that there is a person to act as a security guard. If there is no security guard and Wang Sheng taking turns to change shifts, according to Wang Sheng's behavior of liking to sleep lazily, then I am afraid that before the mission is over, everyone will be killed by Ye Wen!

"I know, the bloody palm print on the bed in our bedroom that day was actually a warning from the unjustly killed female ghost next door!" Li Wenqiao suddenly realized: "They want to convey a message to us: bed!" Now that I think about it, it should mean sleeping! It must have been the other souls in the building that scared us that night before, they wanted to scare us away...... No wonder Tian Jiawei didn't come out, because he knew that the security guard was a ghost, so he kept hiding in the house, and even ordered takeout for dinner. ”

Lu Qing called Chen Shuo again: "Hey, have you found Wang Sheng?" At this time, Chen Shuo was walking in a certain building, and while answering the phone, he pried a certain door: "Well, fortunately, your call came in time, I saw Wang Sheng not long after I chased him out, and now I have followed him home." Wait a minute......"

"Pay attention to safety, by the way......" Lu Qing wanted to say a few more words, but as he spoke, he saw through the reflection of the TV screen that a black figure appeared in their room!
