Chapter 256: Death as scheduled

In the back seat of the red car, Yue Qiuchi's face turned pale.

This "Xia Nan" is a ghost!

She's so sure!

The first call just now showed the unknown, just like what was shown when "she" called before.

And when the real Xia Nan called, there was an obvious number displayed, although the number was very unfamiliar.

Moreover, what the "Xia Nan" said just now was: "Miss Liu has cleared the customs, she told me the contact information, come back quickly!" Miss Liu herself doesn't know how to clear the customs, we need to discuss it together."

At the time, she felt that something was wrong, and now that she thinks about it, the phrase "Come back soon" is too strange...... There's no way anyone knows where I am, only the devil.

However, "Xia Nan" uses the word back.

It was also strange when he dialed back the second time, "he" even directly exposed himself and said something like "wait for me in the same place".

And the last call that took the initiative was the real Xia Nan!

But......

She didn't dare to move.

The ghost pretending to be "Xia Nan" was driving, and Yue Qiuchi couldn't figure out what was going on even if he broke his head.

If "he" is a ghost and "he" has found me now, why not do it yet?

Don't...... Is it because my scheduled death date has not yet arrived?

But it's not right, if there is a scheduled death date, then what's the point of attacking me on the mahjong table before?

If I had predetermined my death, I would have died according to the rules of the game.

Is it just there to scare me? Because it's not my turn to die yet, even if the curse finds me, it won't be good?

Yue Qiuchi thought about it over and over again, but she never understood it, but she didn't dare to act rashly, no matter what kind of play this ghost was singing, she could only play with "him" now.

At this time, Xia Nan's voice came from the mobile phone, and his voice was extremely low: "Miss Yue, have you encountered it?" If yes, please answer, if not, answer well. ”

"Good!"

Yue Qiuchi didn't expect Xia Nan to hang up the phone, and not only did he listen all the time, but he was also giving her ideas.

On the other side, Xia Nan cowered in the corner of his house, he didn't let any light appear in the room, and even when he had to press the screen to make a call, he would move his phone away and try not to be illuminated by the light.

Hearing Yue Qiuchi say this at this moment, Xia Nan quickly calculated in his heart.

The curse had already found Yue Qiuchi, but she wasn't dead......

It's not like ghosts let humans go for no reason.

Although it is a cursed companion creature, it is no different from a ghost, Yue Qiuchi is still alive, which can only mean that it can't kill her now, or rather...... It has other purposes, such as using Yue Qiuchi to find other people to catch them all?

In a word...... That thing was with Yue Qiuchi now, but it didn't hurt her.

This seems to coincide with the phone call he made with Su Yu before, as well as his own speculations.

A few of us, already ......

β€”β€”β€”β€”

Five minutes ago.

Su Yu, who had just escaped from the nightclub, rang on his mobile phone, and the phone was exuding amazing malice, but he didn't answer.

Immediately after, he heard a voice in his headβ€”

"Liu Jingqing, customs clearance."

This is the first time, right?

The first thing he thought of was not that Liu Jingqing had cleared the customs.

It's the first time that a player has cleared the game, and [Children's World] will actually report? And it's the first time that a player has cleared the game, but the other players in the weird story have to continue.

This seems to indicate that this time [Death as Scheduled] seems to be a five-player team game, but it is basically a solo game.

Whether other players have cleared the level or not has little to do with themselves.

However, since someone has cleared the customs, they can learn from the other party's ideas.

But at this time, his phone rang again!

This time there was no malice overflowing from the phone, so although the number was unfamiliar, he pressed answer.

"Hello? Is it Su Yu? ”

It turned out to be Xia Nan who called?

"Yes."

"I'm Xia Nan, you should have heard it, Miss Liu has cleared the customs, she doesn't know the reason for the customs clearance, but the customs clearance site is at her house, I'm going to go over to check, do you want to come?"

"Come!" Su Yu's eyes lit up when he heard half of it, this was a good opportunity.

"Okay, I'll send you the address."

"Do you know Mr. Cao Xiangrong's contact information?"

"He's dead." Su Yu replied.

Xia Nan was silent for a moment: "Really?" Looks like you've already checked it. ”

"Can you tell me, how did Mr. Cao Xiangrong die?"

"I don't know," Su Yu really didn't know, but after he paused for a moment, he still said his guess, "But...... Number of people, that's my speculation. ”

"When he greeted the advent stage of the strange tale, there were too many people around him, and the number of people was probably the basis for the order of death."

Number?

Xia Nan raised his eyebrows, took his mobile phone and said to him: "My speculation is that the light, the ten seconds of darkness when the strange talk came, something came, and I am still confirming that so far, I have not been affected by any curse at all, and there is no abnormality around me." ”

"You've been in the dark?" Su Yu asked.

"Well," Xia Nan nodded, "the light was erased when the strange talk came, and I tried to restore the situation at that time, so I never turned on the light." ”

Light...... Su Yu was also silent.

If it is true, the nightclub is indeed a place with flashing lights and many people, no wonder Cao Xiangrong died without the slightest room for operation.

"Why do you think there are ten seconds of darkness before the strange talk comes? I saw...... Even the moon went out. Su Yu glanced up at the moon, and his gray-white hair was a little conspicuous in the moonlight.

Moon...... Extinguished?!

Xia Nan still just knew about this kind of thing, so this is more certain...... However, after contacting all his own speculations, the answer that appeared in Xia Nan's heart was an extremely terrifying guess!

Su Yu ...... You say, in those ten dark seconds, will we ......"

"Already dead?"

A cold gust of wind blew from all corners of the street, causing goosebumps all over Sue's body.

Will we be dead?

When he heard this, Su Yu's head "buzzed", as if he had been greatly impacted!

"I've thought about it for a long time, this strange talk is called [Death on schedule], but we don't know the "period" at all, how can it be "on schedule"? If the curse strikes us at any time and causes our deaths to be counted as expected, this strange story loses the fundamental logic of its existence. ”

Xia Nan said word by word, his eyes flashing: "So I think, there is only one possibility. ”

"We're dead, just the moment the weird thing came."

"Already...... At the same time, he died as scheduled. ”
