Chapter 24: Strange (1)
At this point, there is no way to continue. Wang Yao suggested that a few people should not live separately anymore, and simply live in Lin Xingcheng's room, anyway, there are three rooms in the presidential suite. So Lin Xingcheng, Zhou Ji and Wang Yao slept in the bedroom, and Yue Zhi volunteered to sleep on the sofa in the living room.
It was late at night. Zhou Ji lay on the bed, thinking about the conversation between the few people just now, and couldn't sleep for a long time.
File 0376, is it really a completely unsolvable supernatural event? ... Of course, if the high school girl hadn't been on drugs or crazy to say those words, it would have been a bit creepy. But what about Li Tang? Is it really like Lin Xingcheng said that he saw a ghost in broad daylight, and the two of them disappeared from the world in the interrogation room of the police station? So when did Li Tang make his second call to himself? Was it after he disappeared, or before he disappeared? ... But the timing seems to be a bit wrong. Li Tang didn't seem to give himself time to make a second call, but he did. And the recording of that phone call is still recorded in the database above.
But these are all Lin Xingcheng's words after all. Zhou Ji thought. Although he is also an agent and works for his superiors, there seems to be no reason to deceive a few people, but judging from the fact that he secretly broke the fingers of the deceased Wang Desheng's corpse, he may not know how many secrets he is hiding. Can this person really be trusted?
Then there is Wang Yao, who is a little older than everyone else and joined the Security Bureau earlier. Why was he sure that the case was not a paranormal event? Is it because materialism is so hard that when he sees supernatural events, he thinks that someone is making trouble, or does he not want others to think of the Black Book Company as so powerful? Thinking about it, it seems that something is wrong with several other people.
Oh yes. And Yue Zhi...
Zhou Ji kept searching in his mind for Yue Zhi's abnormal performance, and finally gave up. He concluded that Yue Zhi was no better than himself, he was just a stupid big man.
So Zhou Ji fell asleep groggily while thinking about countless chaotic clues...
...
...
"Whew-"
“... Well. A light breeze blew, and the exhausted Zhou Ji rolled over and continued to fall asleep, thinking in a daze that he might have forgotten to close the window before.
"Hoo ————"
Another gust of wind blew, Zhou Ji shivered, closed his eyes and touched the quilt beside him, but he felt empty. But he was too sleepy to close the window, and simply curled up into a ball to maintain his sleepiness.
"Hoo ————————————"
“!?!”
I don't know if he deliberately provoked Zhou Ji, but the wind that blew for the third time was like he was afraid that he would not wake him up, and it almost choked the unprepared Zhou Ji to suffocation. Zhou Ji, who was disturbed by his sweet dream, was furious, and immediately bounced up from the bed and stretched out his legs to get off the ground, but fell back with a soft foot.
“... What's going on..."Zhou Ji didn't figure out the current situation, he felt as if he had fallen to the ground in his sleep, otherwise his bed was not too big, how could there be no margin?
Thinking like this, he sat on the ground and rubbed his eyes, wanting to wait for himself to get rid of his blurred vision before adapting to and observing the darkness around him, but more than a minute passed, and when he opened his eyes again, there was still darkness in front of him, and next week Jike felt that something was wrong. Looking around, where there was any furniture and the scene of the inner outline of the bedroom in his memory, for a moment Zhou Ji thought that everything in the world had turned into air when he fell asleep, and finally only an endless black space remained. After being stunned for a long time, he lowered his head and touched his clothes, which were still the same as before. But... What's going on now?
Without thinking too much, Zhou Ji anxiously looked for a way out in the dark with bare feet, but the scenery in front of him did not change at all with his advance, and even a black mist slowly rose from the ground. Normal people will feel uneasy in this situation, and Zhou Ji is no exception, he didn't have the patience to identify the direction anymore and ran up. I don't know how long I ran, but the black mist rising around me gradually dispersed from the thick reach and five fingers, and an empty street appeared in front of Zhou Ji.
Zhou Ji, who found that he had finally found the way, almost cried with joy, at this time he had lost his thinking ability, and he was completely relying on instinct to move forward, and if he couldn't find the way again, he would probably go crazy on the spot.
But how does this street feel a little strange...?
Zhou Ji looked around and found that there was still nothing. Not only that, but this strange street seems to have suddenly emerged out of a dark space out of thin air, and it is impossible to see what lies ahead, but you can't help but want to keep walking. Of course, Zhou Ji couldn't control and kept moving along the road.
I don't know how long later, a vague white building suddenly appeared at the end of the aimless road, and the closer you go, the more obvious the shape becomes, and it seems to be a building that is not too tall. Zhou Ji didn't think much about it and walked straight towards the building, and before he could take a few steps, a hand suddenly appeared behind him, firmly grabbed his shoulder, and said softly: "Zhou Ji." Why are you here? ”
... Be... Who is it?
Zhou Ji turned around with the movements of the person behind him, and when he saw this person's face clearly, his mushy brain instantly sobered up: "Li Tang?!" You... Where have you been? Where is this? ”
Li Tang, whose face was pale, looked very strange, his body was wrapped in a strange black cloth, and his whole person was hidden in the darkness except for his head and palms. His lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, and finally sighed and said, "I told you not to check again, but you still don't give up." ”
"Don't tell me this, what the hell is going on with you? You are wanted by the top, you know? Did you really disappear for no reason or did something happen? You..."Zhou Ji asked Li Tanglai like a machine gun, after all, he really had too many questions in his heart. But Li Tang just kept shaking his head with a painful expression, and finally interrupted his questioning: "I can't tell you, I can't protect you." If I said you'd be in danger. ”
"! If you don't say it, don't talk about it! Zhou Ji said angrily, "Do you know where this is?" Or I'll just go to the white building in front and ask! As he spoke, he turned around and was about to leave, but Li Tang's hand on his shoulder made him unable to move for a while, thinking to himself when did this kid have so much strength?
Li Tang's eyebrows were tightly locked: "Don't go." Anywhere is not where you can go. I know the way out, and I'll see you off. ”
"Okay, you come with me!" Zhou Ji said, "Follow me back and explain it to the boss!" ”
"No, I've been... I can't do without it. Li Tang sighed deeply.
"What do you mean?! How can it be inseparable? ”
"I'm dead."
“?!?” Zhou Ji was stunned, "What are you talking about?" Aren't you doing it well now? You..."Before he could finish speaking, Li Tang suddenly raised his head expressionlessly and stared coldly into his eyes and said, "It's time." You remember, be careful of Lin Xingcheng. Saying that, he suddenly stretched out his hand and pushed Zhou Ji's chest hard, and Zhou Ji immediately fell into the abyss....
