When the landlady finished speaking, Qing Huan next to her was already a little nervous.
Gu Mian saw that his hair was standing on end and his face was pale.
When he came out of the landlord's house, his steps were still shaky and he almost fell down. Fortunately, Gu Mian had quick eyesight and quick hands to catch him.
"How dare you enter the dungeon if you are so cowardly?" Gu Mian looked down at him.
Entering the dungeon for the first time is mandatory, but players who enter the dungeon now should do so voluntarily. Someone cannot point a gun at him and ask him to enter the dungeon.
Qing Huan's face turned pale: "In order to live, in order not to starve to death... in order to survive..."
He stammered: "Don't you know, outside the dungeon, there is chaos around our house now, and some people actually dare to break into and rob the house..."
"You may think it's too exaggerated, but it's just like that. Some people wander the streets in groups and rob everyone they see."
"The signal is gone and we can't contact the police. The country is so big that no region can contact each other. It's impossible to issue orders. Even if the country wants to, it's difficult to control it."
"Although I'm not very good at studying, I still listened carefully to the history class. Doctor, don't you think this game is like the history of human evolution?"
"Since ancient times, the law of the jungle has been preying on the strong. In history, countries that did not want to make progress were often invaded by the strong; those with backward civilization were sold as slaves."
"How similar the current situation is to that time. Human beings around the world have begun to evolve. If we are not strong, we will be weak and can only become victims."
"Now this evolutionary game has just begun. Many people may not be aware of it, but I believe that when the distance between the strong and the weak gradually becomes wider, it is the time for history to repeat itself."
Although this is not the zombie-filled apocalypse in horror movies, it is a different kind of apocalypse.
It forces everyone to become stronger, otherwise they will face a tragic ending.
Qing Huan looked at Gu Mian: "Doctor, since this evolutionary game started, haven't you encountered anyone who has evil intentions against you?"
Planning something evil? This statement is the same as wanting to rob sex.
Gu Mian touched her chin: "Of course I have encountered them. They were a group of people trying to steal something."
"Then what?" Qing Huan looked a little curious.
"Then?" Gu Mian put down her hand: "Then I almost saw their heads off."
Qing Huan: "..."
It was already past four o'clock when we arrived at the restaurant where we were meeting.
But the others did not complain, but waited there with dissociated expressions, not knowing what they were thinking.
It wasn't until Gu Mian put down the chainsaw on his back that they finally came to their senses.
"What's going on with you guys?" Gu Mian looked at Yu Wenhao.
Yu Wenhao swallowed before speaking: "I was thinking about today's investigation... We first went to Huang Yu's residence today..."
"Huang Yu received a scary phone call. Of course we started checking the phone...and asked the landlord if there had been any deaths in the house, and if the deceased had anything to do with the phone call."
"But the landlord said that no one had ever died, and no one had ever encountered any supernatural incident."
"We didn't believe it at first, and then we asked Huang Yu's neighbors and people living nearby, but they all said the same thing. They had never heard of any supernatural events."
"It's strange. Just when we were at our wits' end, Huang Yu's landlord suddenly came to us and said that he suddenly remembered something..."
"He said that the phone number of the house Huang Yu rented had just been changed not long ago. Because the original number was a bit unlucky, the landlord believed this, so he changed the phone number specially."
"The landlord said that what happened to us may be related to the phone number we just changed."
"We then copied the phone number and went to the business office to check it. After checking, we found that there was indeed something wrong with the phone number!"
"The last owner of this phone number was Zhou Guanglei. The phone number was canceled because he died. Coincidentally, he also lives in this town."
When Yu Wenhao said this, he picked up the cup and took a sip of water.
The three of them had a heavy workload, including investigating the house and checking the owner's phone number.
"We followed the lead and asked for the phone number and work address of Zhou Guanglei's parents this week, but he is an out-of-towner and his parents don't live here at all. Even when we called him, we couldn't answer any questions."
"We had no choice but to go to his workplace. Fortunately, that place has not closed down yet."
When Yu Wenhao said this, Gu Mian suddenly asked: "Where is Zhou Guanglei's workplace?"
Yu Wenhao paused slightly: "It's a plastic factory, called Mingliang Plastic Factory."
really……
This is also the workplace of Zhao Wen, who was killed by the knocker.
Hearing this, Qing Huan opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but was stopped by Gu Mian: "Listen to Yu Wen first so that he can finish."
Yu Wenhao glanced at the two of them strangely, but didn't ask any more questions, and continued: "When we arrived at the plastic factory to investigate, we discovered that more than one person had died in the factory!"
"A few years ago, someone was burned to death, and later two more died. One of them was Zhou Guanglei."
"The person who was working with Zhou Guanglei at that time was still working there, so we asked him about what happened before Zhou Guanglei's death. That person really knew a lot."
"He told us that something was wrong before Zhou Guanglei died. He always said that someone was knocking on his door, but no one else could hear the knock..."
When Yu Wenhao said this, he glanced at Gu Mian.
Originally, he thought that the knocking on the door that Gu Mian mentioned had nothing to do with ghosts, but now it seemed that was not the case.
Could it be that this doctor really moved his stool and stuck his head out to yell at the ghost?
Thinking of this, he shook his head and brought his thoughts back: "Zhou Guanglei was okay at the beginning, but he was a little suspicious, but the further he went, the worse he became."
"He kept muttering about things like 'closer' and 'closer again' all day long. In the end, he just hid at home and didn't even go to work or show up."
"This situation lasted for about a week, and Zhou Guanglei's colleagues began to receive calls from him one after another..."
"It's not a normal phone call... Zhou Guanglei seemed to have a brain problem at that time. He kept calling others in the middle of the night... and the content was still..."
"...and a little scary"
"People who received calls from him in the middle of the night said that Zhou Guanghai would say such things to them on the phone——"
"You've been to my house, right?"
"Stop knocking on the door!"
"What's wrong with you?"
"Then the content of the phone call changed again... and turned into this..."
