Chapter IV: Distress
It is not unreasonable for Xiao Mo to say this, because the reminder about this incident had been issued as early as three days ago, and the list of victims was also given at the same time.
And the appearance of the victim means that the incident has already begun for them, although three days is not a long time, but it is more than enough to be left as a ghost to kill a few people.
But in reality, no one was killed.
It was precisely because of this strange situation that Xiao Mo wondered if this list of victims would be some kind of introduction. For example, the ghost doesn't know who the victim is in the first place, and it needs to get this list before it can carry out its murder plan.
And the person most likely to get this list is undoubtedly Xu Lishan, whom they need to unite. So for this, Xiao Mo had to be on guard.
The others were not stupid, and naturally understood Xiao Mo's worries, so they all gladly accepted Xiao Mo's suggestion to observe and see.
After stopping at the gazebo for two hours, the group got into a taxi and returned to the hotel where they had been staying.
After coming back, they first made an analysis and exchange in Xiao Mo's room, but because they did not officially intervene in the incident, this exchange did not play any role.
Everyone stayed in Xiao Mo's room until more than seven o'clock in the evening, and only then, under Li Shuai's strong protest, went to the dining room on the first floor and ordered something to satisfy their hunger. After dinner, they all went back to their rooms to rest.
After returning, Xiao Mo tried to use the computer in the room to contact a hacker on the Internet and ask him to help retrieve the relevant identity information of the 20 victims from the public security system. But I don't know if there are too few local hackers, or the public security system has increased its defense, in short, no one has taken his order, even if he lures him with a lot of money.
The plan to find hackers fell through, and Xiao Mo could only settle for the status quo for the time being, waiting until the first deceased appeared.
Stretching hard, Xiao Mo took off his clothes and pants and walked into the bathroom. I was going to take a shower and went to sleep.
Turning on the sprinkler of the water heater and standing in the warm water, Xiao Mo suddenly felt comfortable. He hadn't thought about the mystery man or his own mysteries for a few days, and the greatest benefit of this approach was that he was relaxed.
And the mysterious person really hasn't texted him anymore recently, as if he has evaporated from the world, or "he" just doesn't exist in the first place. If it weren't for the fact that he had those few text messages intact in his inbox, he would really wonder if the existence of the mysterious person would be just an illusion on his part.
These things are in mind. A simple rinse was over, Xiao Mo wiped his wet hair with a towel while slowly walking towards the bed.
Just as he finished wiping his hair, picked up the quilt and was about to go to bed, the originally bright lights instantly fell into the darkness where he couldn't see his fingers.
"There's a power outage?"
Xiao Mo's body was still in place, although he was subconsciously aware of the uneasiness in his heart, but he was comforting himself. From memory, he groped his way to the door. Thankfully, there was no problem with his memory, and his hand was able to touch the handle of the door accurately.
"Click!"
However, after breaking it hard, the door was unexpectedly not opened, and this situation once again deepened the uneasiness in Xiao Mo's heart. He did not believe in evil and used all his strength to pull the door. But the door that should have been opened by him did not move.
"Oops!"
Xiao Mo realized the severity of the matter, if his guess was correct, he was afraid that the ghost in the serial murder case had already targeted him.
That ghost may be standing outside the door right now, or it may be hiding behind him!
Xiao Mo's heart was beating wildly. Unexpectedly, the ghost creature would come after him first, and he hurriedly stepped back, knowing that the backpack on the couch contained a flashlight. Even his mobile phone.
Since the area of the room was not very large, Xiao Mo quickly retreated to the sofa, he stretched out his hand and groped in the dark, trying to find his mobile phone to ask everyone for help.
At the same time, the figure attached to the door of his room smiled incomparably.
"Find it, you must find it!"
Xiao Mo shouted anxiously in his heart, and finally, he touched the backpack on the sand, he reached into the backpack with ease, and took out a flashlight from it, as well as his life-saving phone.
He tried to hit the flashlight, but the flashlight couldn't emit even a glimmer of light, and his mobile phone was exactly the same, let alone used to call for help, not even lighting.
"Li Shuai-!"
"Not good-!"
"Wang Zi-!
Xiao Mo shouted everyone's names loudly in the room, the walls of the room were not thick, if the ghosts didn't interfere, it would not be difficult for them to hear.
Xiao Mo screamed, and suddenly there was no sound on his lips, because he clearly heard a strange sound resounding in the room. It's like something is coming out of the ground, and it's terrifying in the darkness.
Xiao Mo knew that something must have sneaked in, he was fine now, and it didn't mean that he would be okay in ten seconds.
The immediate priority now is to contact the crowd and find a way to escape from the room.
But how? The phone doesn't work, the door doesn't open, and the shouts for help don't seem to work, and the line he can choose from looks like a dead end no matter how you look at it.
At this critical moment of life and death, an item suddenly appeared in Xiao Mo's mind - the undisturbed mobile phone.
He remembered that the phone was stuffed into his backpack by Wang Zi because it couldn't fit in the storage bag, and he should be able to find it in the backpack at this moment.
After thinking about it, Xiao Mo began to frantically search for it in his backpack, but fortunately, the god of luck was still attached to him, and he took out the phone from it without delaying for a few seconds.
Fingers pressed a few keys in a panic, and a faint white light suddenly appeared on the pitch-black screen, and the appearance of this white light also illuminated the room in a very small range.
Almost as soon as the phone lit up, a shrill chirp suddenly came from the backpack.
"Squeak!"
Xiao Mo was frightened by this sudden sound, and then he saw a scene that made him chill, and he saw that under the faint white light, a somewhat vague figure suddenly appeared behind him, and in the hand of that figure, he was still holding a giant axe!
Xiao Mo subconsciously looked back, because the light was too dim, he didn't see the face of the figure, but he knew that the figure's hand swinging the giant axe suddenly stopped somehow.
For ordinary people, he would have been frightened to flee in a hurry when he encountered this kind of scene, but Xiao Mo was an old bird struggling with the curse after all, so he clearly knew what he should do at the moment.
He had to buy time for himself, and the only way to do that was to pick up the mirror not far from him and smash it at the figure.
When Xiao Mo saw the blurred outline of the mirror, he jumped over, picked up the mirror and smashed it towards the figure, and then the mirror passed through a void and fell heavily to the ground, and the figure disappeared.
Xiao Mo knew that the figure had only disappeared temporarily, and it was still lingering in this room. He didn't bother to pick up the mirror back, but used the phone to call Li Shuai's mobile phone in a gamble, and then he heard the waiting prompt sound of "beep".
There was no doubt that the phone had already been dialed by him. After a while, Li Shuai's lazy voice came from it:
"TMD, who's harassing a handsome guy so late."
"I'm stuck in my room and can't get out, hurry up and find a way to open the door!" Xiao Mo didn't have time to explain, and shouted on the phone.
Hearing Xiao Mo's voice, Li Shuai immediately sobered up, and told Xiao Mo to hold on, he would find a way to get in now.
Time passed in a dead silence, and the figure on the ground grew larger and taller at a speed visible to the naked eye. Xiao Mo rushed past it to the door, and kept banging on the door desperately with his body.
Death was so close to him.
Xiao Mo bumped into it over and over again, and the hope in his heart did not disappear due to the desperate environment, but became stronger and stronger, because he knew that Li Shuai's arm had the ability to break this restriction.
In fact, he guessed correctly, and with an angry curse, the door was finally opened.
"Get out of here!" Li Shuai stood outside the door and shouted anxiously. (To be continued......)
