Chapter 66: The Missing Delivery Guy
After Xia Zhihuai asked, he didn't want to get involved in this kind of supernatural case.
Although he hates Huo Zhe very much, the evil cultivators that Huo Zhe comes into contact with are definitely not something that ordinary people like him can deal with, although Wanwan's strength is good, but he is even more reluctant to let the little guy take risks for himself, so he would rather eat this secret loss first, and he must not let Wanwan stand up for him.
As for Huo Zhe, now that all the luck he took away has flowed back to him, it is difficult for Huo Zhe to be as smooth sailing as he was in the previous months.
He can't suppress Huo Zhe in his career now, this account can only be remembered for the time being, and he will slowly calculate it when he turns over in the future.
After drinking the milk from the bottle, Wanwan leaned back on the sofa and lazily rubbed her belly.
"Brother, hasn't the takeaway arrived yet?"
Xia Zhihuai looked down at his phone: "Come on, it's been almost half an hour since the order was placed, I'll take a look at the location of the delivery person." β
After opening the takeaway software, Xia Zhihuai glanced at the order, scratched his head and said strangely: "No, why don't I have the rider's location displayed here?" β
"You didn't just place an order, did you?" Huang Xikong asked.
Xia Zhihuai denied it: "It's impossible, I have the order information displayed on it, but the rider's location is not displayed." β
"I'll give you a call and ask."
Xia Zhihuai called the rider's mobile phone number, and after waiting for a while, the mobile phone prompted that the other party was not in the service area.
Wanwan looked at him inexplicably and hit again: "What's wrong?" β
"Not in the service area." Xia Zhihuai said depressedly, "This is impossible, I ordered a supper at a nearby restaurant, it is only eight o'clock at this time, even if you ride an electric car and delay it for another twenty minutes, it can be delivered, it is impossible to be out of the service area." β
Huang Xikong and Wanwan glanced at each other.
Wanwan didn't react for a while, but subconsciously looked at Huang Xikong.
But Huang Xikong is a powerful ghost, and he knows that there is a situation that can block the signal, and that is the space created by the powerful ghost.
Xia Zhihuai does not live in the wilderness, there are lively and prosperous urban areas within a radius of dozens of miles, and there will be no place that is not in the service area.
Xia Zhihuai called the restaurant where he ordered the food again, and the other party said that the rider had taken the takeaway more than 20 minutes ago.
"Nothing will happen, will it?" Xia Zhihuai was uneasy in his heart, and looked at Wanwan and said, "It's not that after my luck is taken away, I will always be unlucky, will it affect the people around me?" But I don't know the rider either, do I? β
Huang Xikong sneered: "Thinking too much, it has nothing to do with you, it's his own bad luck if something really happens." β
Wanwan picked at her nostrils, not knowing what to say.
But she was sure that her brother's bad luck was not contagious.
"What now?"
Wanwan: "If you have a problem, you can find the police uncle." β
"The delivery man was lost for half an hour, so we went to the police...... Wouldn't it be inappropriate? Xia Zhihuai hesitated.
Huang Xikong: "I'll go out and have a look." β
Wanwan thought the idea would work.
Xia Zhihuai: "But you don't know the delivery rider either." β
Huang Xikong: "I'm just going to see if there's anything strange on the way from where you ordered food, not to find a rider." β
If there is no weirdness, the rider may be sent over in a moment.
If there is, then it means that people may be trapped there.
Xia Zhihuai and Wanwan watched him take a shortcut from the balcony again, and said distressedly: "I always jump through the wall and the balcony every day, in case I am seen by someone, I must not be scared of heart disease?" β
Wanwan didn't understand Xia Zhihuai's worries, and stuffed the bottle into his hand: "Brother, wash the bottle." β
Xia Zhihuai scratched the tip of her upturned little nose: "You will enslave me." β
Wanwan dodged with a smile: "Brother has worked hard." β
β¦β¦
Zhang Chao, a delivery rider, wore a yellow helmet and rode an electric car to park under a unit building in the city.
"Your order is about to time out......"
The mobile phone hanging around his neck made a prompt sound, Zhang Chao immediately tied the electric car steadily, opened the delivery incubator and took out the takeaway, and glanced at the address on the takeaway list: "2101, Building B7, Red Society City." β
After confirming that the unit building in front of him was B7, Zhang Chao immediately walked to the entrance of the first floor with a takeaway bag.
After entering the concierge number, the owner quickly opened the downstairs access control remotely.
When I stood in front of the elevator and waited for the elevator upstairs to come down, four or five more people came one after another.
One of the men held a large golden retriever and stood in the far corner with the golden retriever, controlling it from rubbing against the others.
The elevator opened suddenly, and the people in front of them walked in one after another.
The owner of the Golden Retriever wanted to lead the dog in, but the big Golden Retriever suddenly barked at the elevator a few times.
The man immediately grabbed the golden retriever and apologized embarrassedly to the owner in the elevator: "You guys go up first, sorry, sorry." β
The Golden Retriever was still restlessly yelling at the elevator, and the moment the elevator door closed, the Golden Retriever's voice was isolated from the outside, getting quieter and quieter.
"Ermao, Ermao, Mr. Mao, what's wrong with you?" The man crouched down and rubbed the big golden retriever's head.
The big golden retriever looked up at the elevator, and the hair that had stood on end on his neck also softened, and the man next to him was unaware of what had just happened.
The big golden retriever pulled out the man's trouser legs, and the man was a little confused for a while, thinking that it hadn't walked enough.
"Ermao, obedient."
"We've been walking downstairs for a long time today, and my mother is still waiting for us at home......
The man pressed the elevator button again and waited for the next elevator.
However, the display lights that were originally on suddenly went out, and even the lights at the elevator entrance on the first floor were flashing.
The man looked at the elevator in dismay, pressed it twice harder, and immediately prepared to call the property.
There are still people in the elevator, and I didn't see the elevator stop halfway just now, in case something happens......
The man couldn't have thought about it.
When the property staff and security guards came over, the lights on the first floor had been completely extinguished, only the emergency lights on the walls were still on, but the light was very weak, and the entire hall of the building looked cold and ghostly.
"What's going on? Why did the power go out suddenly? β
"No, the power supply in the building next door is fine."
"Turn on the flashlight of your mobile phone and go see what's going on in the elevator first......"
"Call and ask when the power maintenance will come......"
"Hey, what's over there......"
"What the hellβ"
Suddenly, a scream broke the otherwise peaceful scene, and the next second, the white lights in the hall were chaotic.
Half an hour later, a bloody handprint suddenly appeared on the glass door of the hall on the first floor, and red blood flowed down the glass door......
And the whole building has fallen into a dead silence.
β¦β¦
Huang Xikong floated around the route and didn't find anything unusual, but on the way back, he found that a residential building not far away was all in darkness.
But he didn't think much about it, and went back to Xia Zhihuai's house directly.
"How?" Xia Zhihuai rubbed his stomach.
"Nothing special." Huang Xikong sat back on the sofa, "Hasn't the takeaway been delivered yet?" β
"Nope."
Xia Zhihuai wanted to complain a little, this was a serious timeout, but the rider hadn't called to explain.
"Could there be any accidents on the way?"
Xia Zhihuai didn't want to give a bad review under unknown conditions.
Huang Xikong shook his head: "I didn't hear about a car accident anywhere nearby on the road, but when I came back, I saw that the residential building not far away had all the power outages......
Xia Zhihuai stood on the balcony and glanced in the direction that Huang Xikong said, but he didn't find anything special.
"Maybe there's something wrong with the power supply equipment."
The two of them waited for another hour, but the takeaway still didn't arrive.
Xia Zhihuai is no longer in the mood to order any more supper.
Huang Xikong was a little angry, obviously he was delivering food so fast now, but he had to wait for him to overtime when he got to eat today, and even someone took the takeaway without a trace, which was too much!
Early the next morning, before dawn, Xia Zhihuai was woken up by the ringtone of the mobile phone placed at the bedside.
He picked up the phone in a daze, and Pu Yuzhou's anxious and serious voice came from there: "Xiao Xia, is Wanwan there?" Can you take her on a trip to Building B7 of the Red Cross City? β
Xia Zhihuai rubbed his eyes, rolled over from the bed and sat up, and asked vaguely, "What's wrong?" What's wrong? β
"You bring Wanwan over first, the situation on my side is a bit serious, I want to ask the little Taoist friend if there is any way to solve it."
"I won't tell you, I'm hanging."
Before hanging up the phone, Xia Zhihuai heard a noisy voice over there.
There was talking, as if there were ambulances and sirens......
