She wanted to see which direction the man was heading towards, but the car drove off. In a flash, the man disappeared into the subway station in the distance.

"West Gate of the University of Technology? Hehe, he still said he wasn't going to meet up with P, the famous college students 'side business base!”

People nowadays were really making a mountain out of a molehill. The big man had been posting notices all over the building for a few days, causing everyone to talk about how unsafe the building was.

Seeing that man, my doubts were dispelled. In my opinion, this was a story of a man who was too playful to go home and his family was anxious.

Very soon, we arrived at the stop where I was getting off. The crayfish that Weiwei was talking about was actually the food stall downstairs. However, who would eat food stalls in the middle of winter? They would freeze to death!

When they arrived at the crayfish, they were not at the door, but sitting in the shop. The table was piled with the leftover crayfish shells. It seemed that they had gathered here long ago. Other than Weiwei, there was Fatty and Miko. Fatty was the little boss of this shop, and Miko was the editor of a third-rate website that specialized in writing all kinds of miscellaneous information for everyone's entertainment.

"You're finally here! What's wrong with you? You're not picking up your phone!”

Weiwei said to me with half a crayfish in her hand.

"The battery is out!"

I also responded in a bad mood!

"Did something bad happen to this miss?”

It was that unknown person.

"This is Ah Wei, the Tarot Master Commander, right?”

Weiwei was smitten again. The man in front of her, I admit, was very handsome, especially his eyes. They were not black, like a foreigner's, but they were not blue, brown, or gray. His eyes were slightly red!

"Hello, I'm Xuan Yi. What did you mean by that just now?”

I admit that I was very curious about his sudden question. The experience just now resurfaced in my mind, so I took the opportunity to tell them.

"You're in a trance. You can tell at a glance that something's bothering you, can't you?”

"Heh, I'm tired from working overtime!"

I didn't want to demonize what I had encountered, so I swallowed the words that were about to come out of my mouth.

"Have you heard about the recent missing persons case?”

Fatty was always talking nonsense. There were all kinds of people who came to his crayfish shop. Fatty was a righteous person. His regulars liked to talk to him. Some people often came to the shop just to chat with Fatty. Fatty had a lot of stories, and they all heard them from those people. He couldn't hold back and found an opportunity to tell them all.

"What? Hurry up and say it!"

Both Weiwei and Miko were gossipy girls, so they were happy to see these things! I really wasn't interested. I looked at Ah Wei, who was beside me, and he didn't seem to be interested either. I turned around and walked into the kitchen to see if there was anything warm. Even a bowl of noodles would be enough to comfort my hungry stomach.

After fiddling around in the kitchen for a long time, Fatty didn't have a chef in the restaurant. He cooked by himself. Now, he was telling a story enthusiastically. I carried the cooked noodles out and placed them on the table to eat.

"His brother sent out a lot of messages, but he couldn't find her. Yesterday, that Xiao Li said that he found her, but she was rotten. She died a long time ago, and he couldn't even see her human form!”

Hearing this, I was shocked. Missing person notice?

"That person is in your building! Don't you know?"

Fatty's question made me break out in a cold sweat. I looked up at him, still chewing half a mouthful of noodles." What did you say? What do you mean by missing?"

"You don't know, the man who went missing a few days ago in your building, that man is said to be working in a company in your building. He works from nine to five every day and suddenly didn't come home. His brother went to the police station to make a fuss several times, but because he was an adult and it was less than 24 hours, he didn't file a case at all. Missing-person notices can be seen on our streets during this period of time. Don't tell me you don't know about them!”

"I know, I know."

"I heard from Xiao Li that the elevator workers in your building discovered it. When someone took the elevator, they found that the elevator was always stuck, so they repaired it. The property management of your building also failed in their duties and didn't take it seriously.”

Hearing this, I suddenly felt fear. These few days at work, the elevator was fine. There was no malfunction at all. I didn't hear my colleagues say that there was something wrong with the elevator. How did Fatty say that the elevator had been repaired for several days?

I suddenly remembered what happened tonight. Indeed, the elevator broke down tonight. I should take the stairs down, right? But, that's not right. If that man is dead, then who did she see in the subway today? It was clearly that man. Was her eyes playing tricks on her? What was going on with the ghost wall today? How could this be explained?

A series of mysteries troubled me. My head hurt so much that I couldn't hear their discussion anymore. I could hear their laughter intermittently. When my head hurt, I heard the voice of the man called Ah Wei.

"What happened has already happened. Don't dwell on it. Let the past pass peacefully.”

I looked up at him in confusion.

"Who exactly are you?"

I asked coldly. I had an instinctive hostility towards him. The strange things that happened tonight, the strangers that appeared at the party, seemed to be clear to him about what happened tonight.

"I'm a Tarot Master. Perhaps, I can help you solve the problems you've encountered.”

"No need!"

I simply rejected him, but I had a feeling that sooner or later, I would find him and beat him up again. Perhaps it was to solve my doubts, or perhaps it was my own destiny.

By the time they left, it was already 11 o'clock when 2 Weiwei and I returned home. I washed up briefly and lay on the bed. I had long since forgotten about the torturous things that happened during the day. Weiwei seemed to be chatting passionately with that man called Wei Li on WeChat again. She couldn't be bothered with them. She hadn't even asked why she had brought him here today!

Suddenly, her phone rang, and she received a new WeChat message. Who was it at this hour? Could it be that the company's group chat reminded him to work overtime tomorrow again?

Although she was exhausted, she couldn't fall asleep at all. After she opened her phone, she realized that it was a big picture.

Motherf * cker!

The picture on the phone was a corpse!

Who was so bored!

He looked at the sender, Ah Wei! When did I add him on WeChat?

Immediately after, a voice message was sent. After clicking on it, a familiar voice sounded! It was that annoying voice again!

"You might not know what happened, but I can tell you that this is a cycle. You can't escape, just like how we met in the end.”

A belly full of anger rushed up. Today was already inexplicable enough, but you still sent me scary pictures in the middle of the night and even said some inexplicable words to me. Am I very close to you?

I pressed the conversation button and started cursing.

"Are you crazy? It's fine if you don't sleep at night to look for these lousy pictures, but why did you send them to me! Why are you so free!"

Another voice message was sent.

"Take a closer look!"

The power of his words was like a magic that made me carefully look at the picture of the corpse again. I even zoomed in and looked at it a few times. The pores on my body instantly opened up, and my entire body emitted traces of coldness.

This picture is clearly the man that Fatty mentioned who disappeared in our building!

What scared me the most wasn't this. It was that behind the picture, in the blurry crowd, the person standing was myself!

'I'm actually in the photo. I'm actually at the scene where the body was found. Why doesn't all of this exist in my memory? Why don't I know anything about what happened? Who took the photo?' How did that man named Wei Li get this photo? Why did he send it to me? He's just Weiwei's netizen, so how could he know everything that happened around me?

I looked at my watch. It was 2:33 in the morning.

How should he explain these few hours?

For a moment, I really wanted to rush into Weiwei's room and ask for the phone number or address of that person called Wei Li. I really wanted to ask everything in person. I thought, would I go crazy? But I held back. How should I ask? How should I explain this to Weiwei? I don't even know what happened. Everything is so strange.

My thoughts were interrupted by the WeChat notification once again. I looked at it and saw a string of numbers. It was a phone number sent by Wei Li!

I haven't found you yet, but you've already walked into the trap!

I didn't care if it was midnight or not. I called the number on the screen. I thought that I had to scold you properly before I asked!

A toot sound came from the other end of the phone. A melancholic and sad male voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Hello, who are you? Are you Xuelin's classmate?"

Wang Xuelin!

This name, the name on the missing person notice, the name of the person who pestered me for no reason on the stairwell, the name of the owner of the rotting corpse in Fatty's mouth and in the picture!

Just like that, from a stranger's mouth, it appeared in my ear in the middle of the night!

I hung up the phone in a hurry and wrapped myself in the blanket. The light on my phone was still faintly lit in the distance, but it automatically turned off after a while. The WeChat notification never rang again. The man named Wei Li didn't send any more messages. I just wanted to be alone until dawn. I didn't dare to look at my phone or look for Weiwei.

Weiwei, right, didn't this man appear in my life through Weiwei?

I didn't know how the night passed. When I woke up in a daze, the sky was already bright. I looked at my watch and it was already 9 am. I was late. I didn't have the strength to get up in a hurry and wanted to lie on the bed to continue sleeping. I fumbled for my phone and picked it up, wanting to send a WeChat message to the supervisor to ask for a few hours of leave. When I opened WeChat, I suddenly realized that there was no message from Wei Li or any terrifying corpse pictures. It was as if what happened last night was all a dream!

Was it really my dream?

Weird, Weiwei didn't wake me up today. Usually, I should be the one lazing in bed and he should wake me up!

With messy hair, I lazily got up and knocked on Weiwei's door.

"Weiwei? Not here?"

It was really strange. Where did he go?

Just as she was wondering, her phone rang again. It was a WeChat message from her supervisor.

"It's the weekend today. Are you stupid?”

Weekend? Today was the weekend? That's not right. I clearly remember that it was Monday yesterday. I was working overtime. Didn't the weekend just pass? Why was it the weekend again?

He clicked back to the main page of his phone and saw that it was Sunday!

What was going on?

I opened my contact list and wanted to find Wei Li's WeChat. Could it be that I was hallucinating again? I hesitated and suddenly realized that he was indeed in my contact list. It seemed that everything that happened yesterday was not an illusion. At least I was not hallucinating when I went to work, got off work, and had a gathering with Wei Wei and the others at night. But how did I add him on WeChat? He really couldn't remember anything!

No, I hurriedly washed up. I have to go see a doctor! It must be working overtime and suffering from insomnia! I'm sick!

Heavens!

I roared! What was going on?

His phone rang again. This time, it was not WeChat, but a call. The name flashed on the screen. Yes, you guessed it right, it was Wei Li! So not only did he add me on WeChat, but he also left me his phone number, but I didn't know anything about it!

Just in time. I picked it up angrily. Before I could say anything, the other party spoke first. That's right, it was that annoying voice.

"Did you sleep well?"

"Try and see if you can sleep well when someone sends you a photo of a corpse in the middle of the night!”

"Actually, I don't need to post it. The things you encountered at night were enough for you to lose sleep. I just wanted to make you more afraid.”

"You!"

I was speechless! Anyway, it was broad daylight now, so the fear at night had long been swept away.

"I'll be waiting for you downstairs in 20 minutes. You can choose to come out and go to my house, or I'll go to your house!”

I didn't even have a chance to choose. The other party hung up the phone and called again, but the call couldn't be connected.

You still want me to go to your house? Dream on! If you dare to come, I'll close the door and beat the dog!

Who knew? I didn't expect that the arrival of the power would not only fail to solve my doubts, but it would instead bring me even more doubts. At this point, the evil power began to continuously invade me.#
