I was shocked when I heard Weiwei calling for help on the other end of the phone. I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat when I thought about what had happened recently. I quickly asked," What's wrong? What happened?"
"Why are you so loud? Come back quickly. I didn't bring the key!”
She heard my excited voice and blamed me.
"Big sister! I'm at work! I'm not free!"
I hung up the phone in a bad mood. This Weiwei, she didn't help but caused trouble! If you hadn't seduced that annoying fellow for no reason, I wouldn't have been in so much trouble!
At this moment, the phone rang again. I didn't look at the number and picked it up immediately." You didn't bring your keys and just stayed outside!"”
"Xuan Yi, it's Sister Yang. Where are you? The manager asked you about the regular meeting on Monday?”
What the hell! I was done for. I grabbed my bag and rushed out of the cafe before I could tell Wei Li. When I returned to the company, the meeting had already ended. However, the manager didn't seem to notice that I was back. He didn't bother with me. He sat in his seat and drank some water. Finally, I could rest for a while. What kind of days have I been living these past few days?
He powerlessly turned on his computer. He still had a lot of work to do. He had forgotten to ask that annoying fellow just now about the benefits of being the Alliance Master. Did he receive a monthly salary and insurance?
The little penguin below the computer screen suddenly flashed. It was a message from Weiwei. I opened it slowly and almost fell off my chair!
Weiwei sent me a photo of a little boy lying on the ground with his glasses open. The surroundings were so crowded that not even a drop of water could pass through. My subconscious told me that the boy was already dead.
"Yiyi, something happened to our school!”
It was a message from Weiwei.
"Today is Monday. It was supposed to be the flag-raising ceremony, but because I'm not the form teacher, I went to a regular meeting in the morning and came back. I didn't find the key and called you. In the end, just as you hung up, I received a call from our academic affairs team leader asking me to hurry back to school.”
Looking at Weiwei's text, my heart sank. Was this related to what Ah Wei had told me? Why were there dead people around me these past few days? Before I could think about it, Weiwei sent me another QQ message.
"The child who died was at the same age as I taught him. He was supposed to be the flag-bearer when he woke up in the morning, but he didn't appear after he went to the storeroom to get the flag. The teacher sent a child to look for him and found him lying in the storeroom.”
"But that's not right, Weiwei. You said that the boy went to get the flag and was found within half an hour. Even if he was killed when he entered the warehouse, he couldn't have been dead!”
I realized that there was something suspicious about Weiwei's words, so I continued asking.
"I don't know. My colleagues told me about it. They were the ones who took the photo. They're teachers too. Now that the police are here, the bodies have been taken away. The children have been on leave for half a day and all of them have been picked up by their parents. We just finished a meeting and the principal told us sternly that we are not allowed to leak this matter, or we will be expelled! Don't tell anyone!"
"I know. Who should I talk to?"
I perfunctorily said to Weiwei. I already had my phone in my hand. I wanted to call Ah Wei. I felt that this matter should have something to do with the alliance he was talking about.
Before he could make the call, Weiwei's QQ started to flash again.
"Oh right, there's something else that's very strange. The dead boy had a twin brother, but ever since his body was found, no one has seen his brother. It's as if he disappeared into thin air. Their mother was fighting in the principal's office just now, saying that the school should compensate! I'm called to a meeting. I'll talk to you in detail when I get home tonight!”
Weiwei's profile picture suddenly turned black. One was dead and one was missing. I enlarged the photo Weiwei sent me and looked at it carefully. It was a very ordinary child. He looked like he was asleep and there was nothing unusual. I stared at the boy's pale face in the photo. Suddenly, his glasses opened and he stared at me! He didn't have black eyes! The defeated faces were actually two white eyeballs staring at me!
I was so scared that I immediately moved my mouse away. Perhaps it was because of my previous experience, but I didn't scream out loud. When I looked at the screen again, there were no white eyeballs. It was still an ordinary boy lying in a crowd. Was my eyes playing tricks on me? No, it wasn't. It definitely wasn't!
I didn't know how I finished my afternoon shift. There was no progress on the entire plan. I didn't have any interest in work. My mind was filled with the dead child and the missing child. I looked at my watch as it slowly approached 5 pm. I immediately packed my things and went to the elevator. I wanted to take the first elevator before work ended. I wanted to find Wei Li. I wanted to figure out how all of this happened and how to end it.
After entering the elevator, she dialed Ah Wei's number. The voice on the other end was still that cynical tone.
"You miss me so soon?"
"Annoying fellow, where are you? Something has happened. I want to see you immediately!"
"It's that serious! Something big has happened! Hahahaha!"
This person was really a role model for shamelessness!
"Did you know that someone died in Mingguang School today?”
I went straight to the point. I didn't expect the other party to answer so simply.
"I know. It's a contractor. There are such contracted people who die every day. However, this time, it's actually a child!”
"He has an older brother who is missing!”
Hearing my words, I could feel Ah Wei jumping up from his chair.
"What?!"
The deafening sound on the other side gave me a fright.
"What? Was missing more terrifying than dead people? Do you want to die by shouting so loudly?"
Ah Wei ignored me and hung up the phone after saying that.
"See you at Sidi Bookstore in 20 minutes!”
When they arrived at the entrance of the bookstore, it was the same as when they first came here. There was no one in the house, and no one entered. It was very strange. Logically speaking, such a small shop should be very popular with girls. Why did the girls passing by not even look at this place?
I walked in with doubt. Because of my first experience, I felt much more familiar with the place. This time, there was an additional wind chime at the door. When I pushed the door open, the doorbell rang, instantly relaxing my nervous nerves.
"Ah Wei? Si Di? Are you guys there?"
I asked as I walked towards the counter. I heard Si Di's voice from behind me." Come in, we're inside."”
Hearing Si Di say this, I was stunned. Where should I enter?
Si Di seemed to have guessed what I was thinking.
"I thought that you wanted to come in, so you naturally came in!”
What was that? What was that? Alright then! I closed my eyes and thought to myself.
"Let me in, let me in, let me in!”
"Relax!"
This time, it was Ah Wei's voice, that annoying fellow!
Hearing Ah Wei's words, I tried my best to relax. The cold wind was blowing outside, but the shop was as warm as spring. To be honest, the environment and atmosphere in the shop really made it easy for people to calm down. There seemed to be a hint of sweetness in the air. I couldn't tell what it was, but I was sure that there was no industrial fragrance. It should be from some kind of fruit.
I closed my eyes again and thought, Let me in.”
When I opened my eyes again, I saw a narrow path in front of me. The counter had been moved to create a path for a person to walk through. I turned sideways and walked forward step by step. The deeper I walked, the stronger the sweet smell became. Following the smell, I walked all the way to a dark room. There was no door at the entrance, but a purple curtain. I reached out and pulled open the curtain. I saw Ah Wei and Si Di sitting inside. There was no light. There was no window, only a large candle. But strangely, despite the dim light, I could see everything around me clearly.
"Come in."
Seeing me walk in, Si Di stood up with a smile and walked over to me.
"This is the place where we gather and meet. It's also where I live. If you have anything in the future, you can come here to find me.”
I sat beside Si Di and looked at Ah Wei."You know the dead boy and his brother, who went missing.”
Ah Wei lowered his head and didn't say anything. Si Di was particularly talkative today.
"We know. Actually, we've noticed that boy for a long time, but…"We didn't know that he actually had an older brother. That boy actually didn't die, but his soul was sucked away. If we intervene, we might be able to save this child's life. After all, he's a child. His soul has a high degree of freedom, and his desire for worldly things isn't that high. Therefore, even if his soul is sucked away, once he regrets it, it will be more difficult to be controlled. As long as we can snatch back the child's soul and help him return to his body, that child... You can come back to life."
Looking at my confused face, Si Di chuckled and continued,"You should be used to it. Why do you still look confused?”
I asked in confusion,"You mean that this child is also a contractor whose soul was taken away? Then why didn't he rot?" Why didn't you save Wang Xuelin from before?”
There was clearly some anger in my tone. There was clearly a way to save him, so why did I have to watch a living person die? What's the difference between this and those bad guys, those dark forces that you speak of?
At this moment, Ah Wei stood up and handed me a glass of water.
"I understand your anger, but you have to know that Wang Xuelin is different from that child. The child is just thinking about it for a moment. His greed is not that deep. The darkness taking away his soul was not the child's intention. Therefore, when the child's soul understands all this, he will try his best to bear it. At this time, with our help, we can help the child's soul escape and return to his body to reignite his life. However, Wang Xuelin is different. He had willingly exchanged with the darkness. His heart was black to begin with! Such a person deserved to die! If he wasn't such a person, would the evil forces invade the world so easily? They are all accomplices!"
Looking at Ah Wei, who was filled with anger, it was a world of difference from his usual frivolous appearance!
I was stunned for a moment before calmly saying," Tell me, what do you need me to do?”
Hearing my words, Ah Wei suddenly looked up at me and said softly," I don't know what will happen in the future. No one can see how difficult the future will be. I can't, and neither can Si Di. Will you be afraid?"”
"With you guys around, I'm not afraid!"
I was surprised by my answer. If it was the previous me, I would definitely run away dejectedly. Who cares if you die or not? What does it have to do with me? But today, it seemed like Ah Wei's eyes and words gave me great courage. The voice in my heart told me that you should face all of this. You have the responsibility to save those souls that are about to be eroded!
At this moment, looking at Ah Wei in front of me, I suddenly felt very strange. I actually remembered what he had said to me before.
"I'm your future husband!"
She felt her face turn red all of a sudden! She quickly took a sip of water and continued asking," Then, what should we do next?”
Ah Wei fell silent again. It seemed that this incident had dealt a huge blow to him. Why? Why would the death of a child have such a huge impact on him?
" Xuan Yi, it's actually not difficult for this child. The problem is that we've been observing this child for a long time, but we don't know that he has a twin brother. This is very strange. If it's really a twin, it's impossible for me not to sense it. Now, if it's like what you said, this child really has an older brother, and this older brother disappeared after the younger brother's soul was taken, the most likely possibility is that..."
Si Di stopped and didn't continue." It's that brother. He's a substitute found by the evil darkness, a substitute for death!”
Ah Wei said fiercely," He actually targeted a child. Perhaps this child was willing to sign a contract and sell his soul because he was bewitched by this so-called substitute brother. His part-time job is crazy!”
Pa!
Ah Wei threw the glass cup in his hand at once. The glass cup was thrown against the wall and shattered into pieces! Just like Ah Wei's inner cry!
"Yes, Xuan Yi. Now that Weiwei is telling you this, it means that Weiwei might be targeted by those forces. I keep feeling that their ultimate goal is you! Fortunately, we found you first. Otherwise, you might really be in danger. You're still in a state that hasn't been fully activated. If they want to kill you, it'll be as easy as flipping their hands.”
The current me was completely speechless. I never thought that my ordinary self would one day be in such a dangerous situation.
"Then, what should I do?" Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:1024201810: 41AM
