I turned around and looked at Xiao Xiao in confusion. She shook her head, indicating that she didn't know what was going on. I already had some ideas in my mind. After bidding farewell to Xiao Xiao's family, I went to the train station. I planned to go back and look for that man called Gu Cheng. He wanted to see if he could find any clues.
"Xiao Bai, who is that Gu Cheng you're talking about?”
I looked at Xiao Xiao's expression. It seemed like she really didn't remember. I smiled and said," I just saw that he treated you quite well. I think he might be a good friend of yours, so I went to ask him. Maybe there might be some clues."”
" Xiao Bai, why don't we just forget about it…" Xiao Xiao placed her hand on the back of my hand. Her voice was clearly filled with helplessness.
"You don't have to be afraid of troubling me. I'm also alone. I understand how it feels. You don't have to be polite with me."
Xiao Xiao's tears of gratitude rolled down her face. I was about to wipe them away when Master Ye called.
"Hey, what's up?"
Master Ye sounded very anxious, as if the sky was about to collapse.
"Xiao Bai, Ji Qianfan came to see me just now. He said that someone must have done something to you and he couldn't sense your location. I don't care where you are now. Go back quickly. We'll wait for you at home.”
Master Ye has always been like this. I'm used to it. Besides, why is Ji Qianfan looking for me? I'm happy without him.
I ignored Master Ye's words and hung up the phone.
"What's wrong? Did something happen?"
I looked at Xiao Xiao and smiled." No, what are you thinking?"”
When night fell, they arrived at the flower city of Guo City. This was where Xiao Xiao used to work. Standing at the door, Xiao Xiao was a little afraid.
"What's wrong?" I asked curiously.
Xiao Xiao stretched out her finger and pointed at the talisman on the door frame. Although it was not very eye-catching, it could still be seen under the neon environment.
"Then wait for me here. I'll go in and take a look.”
Just as I was about to walk inside, Xiao Xiao pulled me back. There was some worry in her eyes. I tried my best to relax and gave her a reassuring look.
"I'm going."
Just as I reached the door, I was stopped by someone. I looked at the man who stopped me. He was about 25 or 26 years old. He had a big and round waist and a fierce face. He looked like he was ready to raise his fist at any time.
"What are you doing?" he asked me in a gruff voice.
I looked at the two scantily dressed women walking not far in front of me. I had an idea in my heart and had a proud expression on my face." Can't you see with your eyes? I'm here for work."
His expression was a little puzzled. He sized me up again and let me in with a skeptical expression.
After I came in, I looked around this place but didn't see Gu Cheng.
At this moment, I was pulled back by a woman with heavy makeup. I turned around to look at her, and the first thing I saw was her good figure.
The black dress accentuated her figure. The eyeliner at the corner of her eyes made people feel extremely charming. She looked at me and stuffed a uniform into my hands.
"Go and change your clothes. It's about to start…"
I pointed at my nose and asked her," You want me to change my clothes?”
She nodded and pushed me into the changing room, ignoring my explanation. Rather than calling it a changing room, it's better to call it a public one. The smell of smoke and alcohol made it almost difficult for me to breathe.
As soon as I entered, everyone's eyes fell on me. To be honest, I had never been stared at by so many people before. I suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
A few people in the crowd were discussing me." You're new, right?”"Maybe." "I've never seen him before."
I don't care about anything else. The most important thing now is to find Gu Cheng and ask him about what happened before I retreat. I don't want to stay in this place for another second.
I threw the clothes in my hands onto the sofa and squeezed out of the crowd.
As soon as I walked out, I saw the figure at the corner. Gu Cheng, I didn't think much about it and jogged after him.
" Eh, that's strange. I clearly saw him coming here just now. Why did he disappear?" I was puzzled. When I turned around, Gu Cheng was standing behind me.
I was a little scared. He looked at me with an indescribable meaning in his eyes. He had a cigarette between his fingers, which made me a little uncomfortable.
"Are you looking for me?" He asked me.
" Hello, I'm Xiao Xiao's friend. You should know Xiao Xiao, right?" I smiled in response, trying to suppress my nervousness.
However, he suddenly approached me. I retreated but was blocked by the wall.
He was so close to me that I could even feel his breathing.
I pushed him away with my hand, trying to distance myself from him." Hey, let's talk things out. This isn't very good…"
When he saw that I was flustered and at a loss, he laughed out loud instead, as if he had done this just to embarrass me.
My face was red, but my hands and feet were abnormally cold. I only felt a little powerless.
"Don't just laugh. You haven't answered my question yet.”
He looked at me and picked up the cigarette between his fingers. The smoke slowly rose from his fingertips and gradually faded. He looked at me, but my vision was a little blurry.
When I realized that I had fallen into his trap, I subconsciously touched my pocket and realized that my phone was no longer there.
The corners of his mouth curled up into a devilish smile, as if everything was under his control." Are you looking for it?”
I watched as he took out his phone and placed it in front of me. I no longer had any strength left and could only fall into an endless coma.
Time passed by bit by bit. Ji Qianfan sat on the sofa and watched the hourglass flow continuously. He turned it over again and again, repeating this cycle again and again. He did not know how much time had passed.
He said coldly," Still not picking up?”
Master Ye stopped pacing back and forth. He looked at Ji Qianfan's gloomy face and nodded." Not yet. I don't know where Xiao Bai went. She said she would be back after going to Xiao Xiao's house?"”
Ji Qianfan raised his head. His eyes were cold." Xiao Xiao?”
"I haven't told you about this yet. Xiao Xiao is a female ghost. Xiao Bai saw that she was pitiful, so he asked her to stay with him for New Year's Eve. He also said that he would accompany her to her house to take a look. You also know that Xiao Bai has always been like this.”
Why didn't you tell me before?"
Master Ye pursed his lips. He finally understood why I was always unwilling to stay with Ji Qianfan.
"Didn't you ask me?"
Ji Qianfan sighed." It seems like this matter isn't that simple. I'm worried that something has happened to Xiao Bai."”
Master Ye was shocked." No way!" Who would dare to lay a hand on her! She is your wife."
Ji Qianfan shook his head and said," Even if you and I set this up, it seems like we can't hide my identity anymore.”
Master Ye was panicking now." Then we still have to start with Xiao Xiao. Otherwise, things will get more troublesome."”
When I woke up, I was in a dark and damp basement.
There was a chandelier overhead, and the orange light was a little warm. My head was still a little swollen. Looking at my situation, I was already a little helpless.
Now that I'm tied up on this chair, I can't move. There's no one around me, not even a ghost that can only speak.
Only the wind blowing in through the window made a whistling sound. I, who was already wearing thin clothes, started to tremble.
"Is anyone there? Help! Is there anyone?"
After a few attempts, I finally understood. It seemed that no one would come to save me. Perhaps I was the most unlucky person in the entire country. Everyone was celebrating the festival, but I was kidnapped by a brat.
It was really useless.
I tried to struggle a few times, but it didn't seem to be of any use other than making my wrist hurt more. At this moment, the door was opened. The iron door was old and creaked when it opened.
A man in black came in. He was wearing leather shoes, and the sound he made on the ground was unusually clear. It echoed in the empty basement.
I couldn't see his face clearly. When he got closer, I came back to my senses. It was Gu Cheng.
"You're awake?"
"Hey, what do you want? I'm warning you, let me go immediately, or I'll teach you a lesson!”
He laughed frivolously, as if my words were completely irrelevant to him. "Now, who do you think is going to teach who a lesson…"
Gu Cheng walked to the wall and turned on a switch. Only now did I see the layout of the entire basement clearly.
Black and white silk was all around the room. A coffin could be vaguely seen in the middle of the room through the veil. There were also many candles on the ground.
I looked at the wall around me. There was a symbol drawn on it. I couldn't tell what it was. It felt mysterious and strange.
I panicked even more. Gu Cheng turned around and went to a dark corner. He pushed a table over from there. I was very familiar with the tools on it. They were tools for dissecting corpses…
