"The point is ......" Li Peiye said in a mysterious tone: "The two 'car thieves' who surrendered also told the police that they also saw strange things in the abandoned warehouse where the stolen goods were stored, and asked the police to be careful when they passed......"

Xiao Jie couldn't help but laugh and said, "If you can see something strange, they won't be ghosts, right?"

"The police didn't see anything strange in the abandoned factory, but the three of them saw strange things in the warehouse that afternoon, and then two people ran to turn themselves in, and one of them suddenly had a paranoia of being killed, and he went to the substation with a knife to report the crime, which is really weird!" Li Peiye said.

A classmate who hadn't spoken much before suddenly asked, "Is it the abandoned old brick factory outside Dongda Road?" After receiving Li Peiye's affirmative answer, he perked up and continued: "After the factory was abandoned, there were often some similar rumors, and I heard ......about it two years ago."

After talking for a while, another classmate mentioned that there were some supernatural incidents in a residential building to be demolished in the city.

Soon, the old classmates at their table began to discuss all kinds of urban legends and supernatural events, some of which happened locally, and some of which they even saw on the Internet or listened to other relatives and friends.

The discussion was very lively, and even the more timid girls listened with their eyes lit up.

After all, it's daylight, and there are a lot of people in this wedding venue, and there are friends around you, just like listening to a story, which can relieve the fear to the greatest extent and satisfy the curiosity.

Xiang Kun also made a gesture of "curiosity and listening", in fact, from the very beginning, he heard Li Peiye say that the two car thieves who went to the Yungang District Bureau to surrender and the knife-wielding policeman with paranoia of being killed were the three car thieves who experimented with the "eight-armed and eight-eyed wood carving" emotional projection remote call and implemented a wide range of influence with Lao Xia in a warehouse in that abandoned factory area yesterday afternoon.

Although he didn't pay attention to the follow-up movements of the three car thieves after leaving the abandoned factory yesterday afternoon, judging from the observations at the time, the situation Li Peiye said today was also within his expectations.

It's just that according to his observation yesterday afternoon, the possibility of the tall and thin young man and the fat middle-aged man turning himself in is relatively small, but the probability that the scar-faced man will go to the police for help is a little greater.

Don't look at the scarface that looks the most vicious, he is actually the most timid of the three.

Judging from the situation mentioned by Li Peiye, these three people all went to the police last night, and from the time calculation, they did not go to the branch office to surrender or "report for help" as soon as they left the abandoned factory area, and they did not go to the branch office after the warehouse was affected by the fear of "eight-armed and eight-eyed wood carving".

These three people, under the influence of follow-up and continuous self-emotion, made that decision for different reasons.

This is directly related to their thinking direction, cognitive habits, and personal experience, just like the "consulting company" and "master" who went to the police to turn themselves in after a dream, after continuing to be entangled in fear and tortured by themselves, the most direct way to free themselves in the end is to go to the police station - although the problem they want to solve in the end is not the same.

When you feel too guilty and too heavy to bear, you can get a strong atonement by turning yourself in to the police, and when you feel threatened and no one around you can believe you, you can get a sense of security by asking the police for help - even if he is actually a criminal.

While not for everyone, it is the subconscious mindset of most people in our country.

Through the news heard today, Xiang Kun also further improved the cognitive model of using the "eight-armed and eight-eyed wood carving" to carry out a range of projection effects, and knew what kind of results this projection would have for different people after the follow-up continuous effect of emotional influence.

Like Tang Baona's grandfather and uncle, who were also affected by the "eight-armed and eight-eyed wood carving" and had dreams, as well as the Qi general manager who met in Tongshi Town, their obsessions and fears are different, and their reactions are different, but judging from Xiang Kun's speculation, this emotion will continue to linger, and further ferment with his cranky thoughts, until he finds a way to ease and liberate.

In the middle of chatting, Li Peiye noticed Xiang Kun and handed over a cigarette with a smile: "What do you call a brother?"

The table was full of middle school classmates, and he knew everyone except for this bald head with glasses, so he thought it might be a relative of the groom or something.

As a result, as soon as these words came out, the whole table laughed, Wei Zhuo stopped Xiang Kun and didn't let him answer, and then patted Li Peiye on the shoulder and said: "Give you three chances to say his name, if you make a mistake three times, you will directly drink three cups by yourself after the banquet starts." ”

Li Peiye was stunned: "Is it someone I know?" and then looked at Xiang Kun in a daze for a while, and suddenly widened his eyes and said: "! Xiang Kun?!"

Li Peiye, who was extremely shocked by Xiang Kun's appearance, ran to change places with a classmate and sat next to Xiang Kun: "Xiang Kun, I remember that you are doing programming, writing code or something......, right? Did you use your brain too much and consume all your hair? Or did you deliberately shave your hair to dissipate heat and show off your identity as a big guy?"

Xiang Kun still maintained a posture that was not good at words: "It just fell off so naturally." ”

"What kind of software does your company mainly do? Do you do any factory ERP software and MES systems in the clothing and shoe industries?" asked Li Peiye.

Xiang Kun replied: "Our company doesn't do this, and I don't do it anymore now, so I came back and invested in a small restaurant." ”

"You're in the restaurant industry, that's good, when will it open, go back and try it." A classmate next to him said when he heard this.

"It's not in Thorn Tong, it's in Tongshi Town, Jianzhou City, it's been renovated recently, and it's not sure when it will open for the time being. Xiang Kun said.

"How can you go to the ravine in Tongshi Town to open a restaurant? Wouldn't the flow of people be greater in Thorn Tongkai?" the classmate said curiously.

Li Peiye said: "Hey, don't look at the decline of Tongshi Town, I recently heard a news, it seems that the above is preparing to vigorously build and develop Tongshi Town." ”

Wei Zhuo was puzzled: "Vigorously develop Tongshi Town, from what direction, tourism? It seems that it is quite close to the Wushu Mountain Scenic Area." ”

"I don't know the specific situation, I only know that several bigwigs in the province have been paying attention to Tongshi Town recently, and those people are well-informed people, and there must be a reason why they are concerned about Tongshi Town. Li Peiye said mysteriously.

Wei Zhuo smiled: "Then let's take the opportunity to go over and settle some real estate or something, wouldn't it be possible to make a lot of money?"

Li Peiye shook his head: "That's not recommended, it's uncertain what industries will be supported and what policies will be given, and I don't know the time, we ordinary people don't need to mix, the risk is too great." ”

"Pepe, are you still an ordinary person? Aren't you known as having a net worth of tens of billions?" someone joked.

"Yes, tens of billions of net worth! Indonesian rupiah!" Li Peiye was saying, when he suddenly saw a middle-aged man who looked quite thin walking into the wedding venue, so he got up and prepared to go over to say hello, and said to the other students: "When I see an old customer and elders, I will go over and say a few words." ”

Xiang Kun's position was facing away from the entrance, but he didn't have to look back, and he found the thin middle-aged man who came in earlier than Li Peiye—it was Chu Xiuwen, who he met by chance in the hospital yesterday morning.

I didn't expect him to come to this wedding.

Xiang Kun heard from the conversation between Chu Xiuwen and the people who accompanied him into the venue that he should have been invited by the groom's father.

Xiang Kun didn't take the initiative to go over to say hello, he didn't want to destroy the "personality" that had been maintained so far, anyway, the distance between the two tables was a bit far, Chu Xiuwen might not be able to spot him, and with the position he was sitting on, it was normal not to see Chu Xiuwen.

But what he didn't expect was that Li Peiye took the initiative to go over to say hello to Chu Xiuwen, and then pointed to his location and told Chu Xiuwen that an old classmate was also going to Tongshi Town to open a restaurant, and asked him to take care of him.

As soon as he heard this conversation, although Xiang Kun had his back to that side, he immediately knew that Chu Xiuwen's gaze must have fallen on his back, and then noticed his bald head.

Sure enough, after a few seconds, I heard Chu Xiuwen ask, "Manager Li, your classmate won't be surnamed Xiang, right?"

"Hey, Mr. Chu, do you know Xiang Kun?" Li Peiye said in surprise.

"Xiang Kun is...... Well...... I had dinner with him. ”

Then Chu Xiuwen walked directly with Li Peiye, and when he arrived at Xiang Kun's side, he said with a look of surprise and surprise: "It's really Brother Xiang, I didn't expect to meet you here, you, the groom, and Manager Li are all classmates?"

Xiang Kun also had no choice but to get up, and also made an expression of surprise and surprise: "Yes, we are all classmates, I didn't expect to meet you here, it's such a coincidence, Brother Chu." ”

"Let's have a drink in a while, oh yes, you don't drink, you can drink tea and drinks. Chu Xiuwen said with a smile, and then stood here and greeted Xiang Kun for a while before returning to his position.

"This 'Brother Chu', why does he look a little stammering Xiang Kun?" Xiao Jie asked her husband next to her in a low voice.

Wei Zhuo said in a low voice: "It shouldn't be a stammer, but it does look a little nervous, as if he is a little afraid ......of Xiang Kun? Strange, Pepe's customers and elders, he also took the initiative to go over to say hello, it should also be a boss-level figure, right?"

What surprised them even more was that not long after the newcomers entered and the banquet began, the "Brother Chu" in Li Peiye's mouth actually took the initiative to come over with a wine glass to salute Xiang Kun, and it was he who was holding a glass of white wine, and Xiang Kun was a cup of boiled water that the waiter asked for.

The other people at the same table were just puzzled, but Li Peiye, who had a little understanding of Chu Xiuwen's usual style and personality, was shocked.

He knows very well that although Chu Xiuwen does not have a very good title, and the enterprises he owns are also very small, many people think that he is just a small rich man in Tongshi Town, but in fact, he has a wide range of connections, and even has a certain influence in the provincial capital.

And Chu Xiuwen always looks like a "Confucian businessman", a little arrogant in his bones, when he appeared on social occasions at the same time several times, whether his status was higher or lower than him, he had never seen him put his posture so low.

After Chu Xiuwen returned from drinking, Li Peiye couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Xiang Kun, what is the relationship between you and Mr. Chu?"

Xiang Kun had just heard Chu Xiuwen's statement, so he continued to use: "When I went to Tongshi Town before, I had a meal with friends who knew each other. ”

Li Peiye nodded thoughtfully, estimating that Xiang Kun's friend should be a very good character, so Chu Xiuwen's attitude should be because of Xiang Kun's friend.

In fact, Xiang Kun also had a trace of doubt, he knew that Chu Xiuwen would be more polite to him because of Liu Feibao and Liu Caifu, but today's attitude was obviously different from when they met yesterday.

Although there is a certain reason, it may be the reason why Chu Xiuwen will be a man and deliberately want to give him "face" in front of his classmates, but with Xiang Kun's keen observation and perception ability, he can clearly feel that Chu Xiuwen is a little faintly afraid of him? Or is it awe?

What is the reason for this?

His first reaction was to see the doctor sitting on Chu Xiuwen's car yesterday who was giving first aid to the old man at the station gate, could it be that the doctor recognized him and then told Chu Xiuwen?

But even if Chu Xiuwen knew that the old man who was sick at the station was rescued, and he might have contributed to it, it shouldn't be this attitude? This influencing factor was not enough for him to have such an attitude.

After toasting Xiang Kun, Chu Xiuwen returned to his position, thinking about his performance just now and Xiang Kun's attitude, he couldn't help but wonder if he was overperforming, shouldn't he be too much?

The guest next to him curiously asked him who he was toasting toast to, and he just casually responded with the phrase "a friend I know", and did not mean to introduce it to others.

As soon as he saw Xiang Kun, he couldn't help but think of the words that Old Man Guo said after waking up when he and Guo Lin went to see his father Old Man Guo on the evening of the twenty-ninth day.

At that time, Mr. Guo said that when he was in a coma, he "saw" a "gatekeeper" with many arms, and he "saw" the entrance to another world, and he felt very, very frightened, unprecedented fear.

Whether it was Chu Xiuwen or Guo Lin, they naturally didn't take Old Man Guo's words too seriously, and it was understandable that the old man had hallucinated a little after being closed by the ghost gate.

But yesterday at the gate of the hospital, Dr. Zhou Yiqing recognized Xiang Kun's coat, and he also knew that the time for Xiang Kun to return to the piercing tong was eligible, and after speculating that Xiang Kun might be the one who saved Old Man Guo at the gate of the station, he couldn't help but think of what Liu Feibao secretly said to him when he was drinking in private before.

When Mr. Qi met Xiang Kun before, he seemed to be frightened by something.

Whether it is Old Man Guo or Qi Haoguo, they are all outstanding and heroic people who have experienced strong winds and waves, and such people are really not ordinary things that can be frightened and bluffed.

Could it be, they really saw something?

And the one who let them see these things is Xiang Kun?
