At this time, it was neither Qingming Festival nor any special memorial day. The entrance to the cemetery was deserted. Only a few people bought a few bouquets of flowers from the vendors at the entrance and set foot on the asphalt road upwards.
Yu Xing calmly paid and got out of the car, and bought two bouquets of white chrysanthemums.
Just now he contacted Zhou Xue on WeChat on the pretext of encountering problems with the original painting design, but he also received no reply. The person seemed to have disappeared along with Zhao Ruru.
Both of them are missing, which is quite interesting.
Thinking like this, Yu Xing raised his eyes and looked up.
This cemetery is not small in scale. It is built on the mountainside. From the ground, you can see black stone monuments divided by straight evergreen trees, just like a lecture theater and its seats.
If a family member's tombstone has a low serial number, it would take a long way to pay homage... Fortunately, there are not many people, and he can use his excellent vision to scan which tomb has just been paid homage to.
No matter what accident happened to Zhao Ruru and Zhou Xue, they at least got over it after seeing the tombstone, otherwise it would be unreasonable.
Since a memorial ceremony has been held, traces will be left, including flowers and fruits. These are all very obvious things.
The breeze is gentle, the wind at noon is not as fierce as at night, and it blows just right on the body.
Yu Xing just walked away carrying the flowers for a while, his steps were neither hasty nor slow, just like a guy who came to the cemetery to relax, with a leisurely smile on his lips, and there was no hint of urgency at all.
In a sense, his every move is indeed very similar to the madman in Zhou Xue's dream. This is a habit that stems from details and is difficult to disguise.
It’s no wonder that Zhao Yijiu mistook the person for the wrong person given that the madman was wearing a mask.
However, Yu Xing is really not too worried about Zhao Ruru. As I said before, Zhou Xue lied when eating with Zhao Ruru. As an experienced deduction, Zhao Ruru will definitely be wary of Zhou Xue.
In this case, if it was Zhou Xue who did the trick, Yu Xing didn’t believe that Zhao Ruru would be killed by Zhou Xue, who was indeed just an ordinary person. If not, it would be simpler.
Zhao Ruru and Zhou Xue have both disappeared. If something happens to Zhao Ruru, Zhou Xue cannot run away, but he is still standing here well, which means that Zhou Xue is still alive. In the same way, Zhao Ruru has no reason to die.
“Ah, that’s it.”
He put one hand in his pocket and touched his cell phone. He turned his head and saw the tribute apples with the word "品" in the row of tombstones on the left.
So he turned around from the middle of the road and walked to the tombstone.
As expected, the name on the tombstone was "Liang Erni", and there was a small black and white photo on it.
In fact, in this kind of cemetery, the elderly are usually buried together.
The person who died first had his photo filled in first, while the photo of the person who died later was blank, and his name had already been written in advance.
But Liang Erni was buried alone, with her name and photo in the center of the whole tombstone, which shows that at least from the perspective of her children, she did not have a wife.
I don’t know why Liang Erni’s husband doesn’t have a seat.
Yu Xing stared down at the photo on the tombstone, and noticed something was wrong in this young photo with a sense of age.
Zhou Xue said that her grandmother suffered a lot when she was young, and it was only later that her life gradually improved under the care of her children.
This "later" should refer to when I was in my thirties.
That girl who looks like she is only a teenager on the tombstone...who took this picture of her? And how did it remain so intact after countless turmoils, without even the slightest sign of fading?
In other words, what he is most curious about now is who ordered this tombstone to be customized. It is impossible for Zhou Xue to have photos of his grandmother when she was a teenager, right?
The girl in the photo is cute and cute. Although she is not a particularly good-looking type, she is very spirited. The important thing is that she looks nothing like Zhou Xue now. Even if they are the grandson and grandson, there is such a big gap in their facial features.
Liang Erni wore two hanging braids and wore a very popular student outfit at the time, which was half-sleeved and a knee-length skirt.
Yu Xing’s eyes darkened a little.
The age does not seem to match... At that time in Fang Mansion, it was a little earlier than the existence of female students.
It’s really interesting. What is the relationship between Liang Erni and the piece of jade with the character “Ling” engraved on it?
As it relates to the actor, he is even more interested in Liang Erni than Zhou Xue.
Yu Xing had seen enough, squatted down, gently placed the bouquet on the side of the monument, and murmured softly: "Did you do something to make Zhou Xue and Liu Ruru disappear?"
"Zhou Xue's fear is very strange. She is not afraid of ghosts or blood. All kinds of horrific images cannot affect her. The only thing she fears is death." Of course, no one responded to what he said. In the cemetery of Nuo Da,
, just listen to his voice dissipate in the wind.
"Why...because she has seen ghosts a long time ago? She has already known that in this world, ghosts are helpless to humans?" Yu Xing's voice became lower and lower, almost becoming a soliloquy, "
You didn't give the jade to her. You wanted to take this jade away, but it was snatched away by Zhou Xue, right? You looked for her after your death, but you couldn't do anything to her, so now facing the nightmare, she is the same
Feel confident."
What responded to him was a sudden gust of wind, whistling past and scattering every syllable of Yu Xing's words.
He was silent for a moment and did not continue.
These are just his guesses and have no factual basis. Frankly speaking, Liang Erni's line has little to do with their main mission.
If there is any reason to be concerned, it would be that this line is a branch line and is related to the gifts from the "special guests".
Yu Xing wanted to complete the branch line and see what "surprise" the person had prepared for him.
But after the most likely conclusion was stated, Liang Erni’s tombstone showed no reaction.
He stretched out his fingers and touched the obviously scratched surface of the monument, with thoughts in his mind.
Where were Zhao Ruru and Zhou Xue taken?
Is there anything else he needs to trigger? Or can abnormal events occur only if Zhou Xue is present?
He must contact Zhao Ruru as soon as possible to confirm the movements of the two girls.
At this moment, Yu Xing’s cell phone vibrated twice in his pocket.
He took out his cell phone and saw that it was an incoming call.
The caller ID shows "Liu Ruru".
This is the contact information they exchanged last night. WeChat, Penguin and even phone numbers have been saved.
Yu Xing raised his eyebrows and picked up the phone.
“Hello? Fortunately, Zhou Xue is gone!” Zhao Ruru on the other side was panting, and there seemed to be a lot of people around, making the crowd noisy.
"...Wait." Yu Xing interrupted her, "Where are you?"
"I was at the subway station... Didn't I tell you that we were going to take the high-speed rail first and then take a taxi? But as soon as I got off the high-speed rail, I swiped the passcode and when I turned around, she was gone! I could only look for her and contact her.
She can't be contacted either, really..."
“You just got off the subway?” Yu Xing was startled.
The development of things was somewhat unexpected.
First, Zhao Ruru seems not to know that her mobile phone has been out of contact for a long time.
Second, if the two girls haven’t come to the cemetery yet...
Where did the tribute fruit in front of this tombstone come from?
…”
As soon as the call came, the audience, who had just been caught off guard by Yu Xing's speculation, suddenly became restless.
Some people have guessed that Zhou Xue snatched the piece of jade from her grandmother when she was about to die because of its protective effect.
Even after Zhou Xue killed her grandma for Jade, the family settled the matter and announced that Liang Erni died of old age, causing Liang Erni to turn into a wraith. This possibility was also raised by some viewers who followed the plot seriously.
But Zhao Ruru's call interrupted everyone's thoughts. Just like Yu Xing said, when a call comes, everyone who comes with it still has questions.
[I'm going??The divination master hasn't come to the cemetery yet?]
[No, according to the time, she couldn’t have just gotten off the high-speed train. Yu Xing had already got out of the taxi and wandered around the cemetery for more than half an hour]
[Which of you will go to the Gua Master to see what’s going on?]
[Ouch~time is being eaten up~]
[Upstairs, don’t fucking think that I don’t know that you are from the lsp guild, why are you pretending to be such a cute girl]
[Isn’t anyone paying attention to where the fruit comes from?]
ˆ [fearful if you think about it]
[I would be afraid if I think about it carefully]
[The ashes on the tombstone have been wiped off, and there is no dust on the apples. This kind of place is very dusty. It is next to a stove where paper money is burned, and it will basically get dirty in a few minutes]
[Yes, there is a lot of dust in the air, and the apple and the tombstone obviously indicate that someone else was standing here a few minutes ago]
[Damn, I followed Xing all the way and didn’t see anyone else, so I must not have left yet!]
Why did the time not match up, who put the apple away, did anyone lie, how did Liang Erni die... These questions were all pointed out, but none of them could find the answer at this time.
Everything seems to deviate from the normal rules at some point.
Inadvertently, things that make sense logically become absurd, vaguely announcing a fact.
This time, Yu Xing really guessed wrong.
Zhou Xuezhen didn't just go into the cemetery, but had already disappeared at the subway station. Zhao Ruru was completely unaware of the time she lost at Yu Xing's place, and was anxiously looking for someone.
He looked at the plate of tribute apples and felt that they were inexplicably dazzling: "Weird."
I didn’t see anyone leaving in the opposite direction along the way. Who could be coming to pay homage? Where is this person now? Is he hiding in the dark and watching him?
If the final result he calculated was wrong, it could only mean that there was an error in one of the variables in the middle. He believed that Liang Erni's ghost had been malicious to Zhou Xue, and it must be caused by "Zhou Xue disappeared after visiting her grandmother in the cemetery."
Things to prove.
But now the part near the source is different, and all his speculations are invalid.
"It seems that the starting point is wrong." Yu Xing whispered, "In this case, Liang Erni may not necessarily have nothing to do with the main plot, and all the clues must be reorganized and arranged."
“Ah? What did you say?” Zhao Ruru on the other side of the phone asked doubtfully.
He paused and said, "Nothing. Send me your location and I'll find you."
“Okay, Zhou Xue must not have anything happen to her. Fortunately, I just went to the women’s room to have a divination. She is not in any danger in the short term.”
Zhao Ruru quickly took a screenshot and sent it to Yu Xing on WeChat.
The call was temporarily hung up, and Yu Xing saw that when he was talking to the tombstone, Zhao Ruru had already made two WeChat calls to him, but "Fang Xing" had set a mute setting for such invitations, so he did not
Received.
The possibility that the phone call was made by a ghost imitating Zhao Ruru has also been infinitely reduced.
Yu Xing said nothing. Some fragments of inspiration vaguely appeared in his mind, but because they were too vague, they could not be finalized for the time being.
This is good, Yu Xing thought.
Games need a bit of challenge to bring fun.
He felt more and more that the second phase of the mission had definitely been tampered with by the special guest.
Only an actor can span a long time, grasp his thinking habits, and give perfect misleading.
But because of this, Yu Xing will also be the one who can best deduce the actor's thoughts in reverse.
He turned around and looked at the vast forest of steles below, his expression as usual.
The audience in the live broadcast room couldn't even detect the slightest emotion from his expression. However, if he narrowed his eyes or flashed amusement in his eyes, it just meant that he was interested.
When Yu Xing is really excited, he often hides this feeling in the deepest part. No matter whether his heart is erupting from a volcano or frozen for thousands of miles, there is an airtight cage that separates it, creating a path called "loneliness"
of barriers.
The barrier is impenetrable, and it contains secrets and toys that belong to Yu Xing alone.
Crazy and lunatic, if you do not cooperate, you will always have a winning or losing win.
…
The subway station was crowded, and the arrival of the weekend had suddenly increased the flow of people. Zhao Ruru blended in the crowd, blocking his hand movements with his crossbody bag, trying to figure out Zhou Xue's position amidst the noise.
It's a pity that fortune-telling needs to be done in a relatively quiet environment. The excessive noise made Zhao Ruru irritable. He turned his chopsticks in a circle in his hand like a pen, but he didn't feel anything at all.
She frowned. If the fortune-telling calculated in the women's room hadn't been too bad, she would have exploded right now.
Even so, there was still no trace of Zhou Xue at all. This woman was like a drop of water, blending into the calm lake.
“Ah, ah, this is so annoying.” Zhao Ruru took a deep breath, maintained his usual calm image, and reluctantly put away the fortune-telling tools.
She is proficient in hexagrams, but doing hexagrams consumes her energy, especially if she keeps doing hexagrams in a short period of time, it is a big harm to her sanity.
For safety reasons, she could not count anymore for a while and could only rely on her eyes to find.
Some people may think that Zhao Ruru is too useless. He cannot fight or run, and his reasoning ability is not outstanding. The only special thing is fortune-telling. There are still so many restrictions.
In fact, abilities such as prophecy, divination, and fortune-telling are far more popular among deducers than high force values, because as long as there are such people, it means that at critical moments, relying on these abilities, the team can avoid many dead ends.
Zhao Mou also quickly rose to prominence because he obtained the rare divination ability in a sacrifice species, and finally steadily climbed up to the level that everyone in his family took seriously.
Chao Ruru is even more important to the family than Zhao Moulai.
