As Ning Qiushui's direct boss, "Washing Machine" will hardly take the initiative to contact him, and only some very special tasks will call him specifically.

Most of the time, it was Ning Qiushui who took the initiative to contact him and report his work to him.

And this time, Ning Qiushui actually received a call from the washing machine.

After a moment's hesitation, he raised his index finger to his lips, motioned for them not to speak, and then connected the call from the washing machine.

After the phone was connected, a mature and steady male voice came from the other end:

"Where are you?"

Omitting the familiar greeting, the "washing machine" directly asked Ning Qiushui about his location.

The latter sent him a locator.

"You're going to Toriyama?"

"Hmm."

"Going on a trip?"

"Obviously not to travel, such a heavy rain, who would run a ghost town to travel?"

There was a teasing laugh on the other end of the line.

"Okay, okay...... How's it going? ”

Ning Qiushui:

"It's going well, are there any new arrangements?"

"Washing machine" said:

"I don't have any personal work, but there are some things I want to talk to you about, so you can come to me directly when you come back."

Ning Qiushui had faintly guessed what the other party wanted to talk about,

"Okay."

Hanging up the phone, Ning Qiushui drove on the dilapidated road, the desolation on both sides of the road adding some mystery to the rendering of night and rain.

After sending Liu Chengfeng back to Longhu Mountain, Ning Qiushui drove to the center of Pomegranate City alone, and after a series of strict identity checks, he finally came to the forbidden place in the urban area - the military region.

The screening of people entering the house is very strict, and there is no special permission or approval, so it is not allowed to enter easily.

Ning Qiushui was under the surveillance of a group of soldiers with guns, and came to the field tent where the "washing machine" was located.

As soon as he lifted the curtain, the bright light in the tent hit him in the face.

"Coming so soon?"

"Sit down."

"Washing machine" is a man who is strong enough and has a small mustache.

Ning Qiushui clearly remembered the last time he saw the 'washing machine', the other party was not in this shape.

"Why did you suddenly think of growing this beard, it looks weird."

He sat down on the small sofa prepared for him by the "washing machine" and complained.

"Washing machine" smiled noncommittally.

"Why are you going to Ghost Town all of a sudden?"

Ningqiu Waterway:

"Since you already know that I'm going to Ghost Town, you should have investigated me."

"Washing machine" shook his head.

"Today is an exception, I found out that you were investigating the 'Sunflower Welfare Institute' before, what's wrong?"

Ning Qiushui organized his own language and briefly described his experience to the other party.

Among them, he concealed the incident about Rashomon and Bai Xiaoxiao, and only said that he was attacked by powerful ghosts at home.

"Doesn't that sound like a madman?"

"After dealing with the 'beast' for a long time, I gradually became a 'beast' with a mental disorder."

Looking at Ning Qiushui's smile under the light, the "washing machine" was silent for a long time, and suddenly said something that even Ning Qiushui felt surprised:

"I believe every word you say."

"It's hard to make time for tonight, I'd like to hear you talk."

"What happened to the Sunflower Orphanage?"

The other party had already said so, and Ning Qiushui had no need to hide it anymore.

He's going to have a showdown with everything he's going through in Ghost Town.

"Washing machine" listened carefully, and from time to time there would be some doubts or exclamations.

This scene made Ning Qiushui feel even a little ridiculous, because most of the people in the military region were pure materialists, let alone high-level people like "washing machine"?

"Do you think I shouldn't have believed these things in the first place?"

The "washing machine" smiled at Ning Qiushui.

"In fact, I'm hiding a lot from you."

"Or rather, the military region has concealed these things from the vast majority of civilians."

"They're like a plague, and if you don't get a prescription that works, then spreading the word will only spread panic."

"It's selfish, but you should be able to understand our struggles."

Ning Qiushui nodded.

The "washing machine" was silent for a while, he lowered his head and rummaged through something in his bag, and after a while, he found a document and put it in front of Ning Qiushui.

"Now that you already know these things, there's no need to hide them from you anymore."

"As you can see, there have been ghosts in this world since a long time ago."

"Actually, we hid something from you back then, your teacher's death was not due to an accident, nor was it because of illness, her real cause of death was...... Paranormal events. ”

mentioned his master and mentioned the past of the year, Ning Qiushui's expression changed subtly.

He has lived since he was a child, and there are not many people who particularly care about him, and his teacher is one of them.

He opened the document in front of him and read it carefully.

Recorded in it are detailed information about the life of his teacher.

"Shroud" carried out a total of 347 missions in his life, none of them failed, but finally died in a supernatural riot outside the mission.

All she had left was a skin.

There are no scars on the surface of the skin, but all the muscles, bones, and organs inside are gone.

The military used the most cutting-edge microscopic technology to inspect every corner of Master Ning Qiushui's human skin, but no scars were found.

There is no way to explain these things anywhere.

With their current level of technology, they are far from being able to recover a human skin unscathed.

And Ning Qiushui's character "washing machine" is clear, once he tells him the truth about the death of "shroud", Ning Qiushui will definitely pursue it unrelentingly, and the power of human beings is far from being able to fight against treacherous, for Ning Qiushui's ability, "washing machine" is very appreciative, so he doesn't want Ning Qiushui to die so prematurely.

"At that time, your master was investigating an accident related to ghost town, and I have hidden this matter from you for so many years, hoping that you can become calm under the precipitation of time......

"But I didn't expect that there was a destiny in the dark, and you were still involved in the affairs of the ghost town......"

"Washing machine" sighed, a look of self-deprecation on his face.

Ning Qiushui looked at the documents, raised his head and calmly said to the "washing machine":

"I want to know about the incident of the investigation that Master participated in back then."

"I won't ask you for information, and in exchange, I will also provide you with a lot of important information...... For example, "Rashomon". ”

"Don't tell me you don't know about this organization."

The washing machine stared at Ning Qiushui for a long time, and finally nodded.

"Okay, your master...... Back then, the investigation was a supernatural event related to the 'nightmare'......"

pS: Good morning
