From her perspective, what she discovered on Min'an Road this time was not as important as whether her mother would notice her...
Quietly, he unlocked the door.
Try not to make even the slightest sound.
In a very quiet and dark room, my mother's heavy snoring could be heard from next door.
This made Lin Xiaoxiao breathe a sigh of relief.
Mother Lin doesn't have many other particularly long-lasting habits, and this snoring is one of the few...
Sneak back to your house in the dark.
Lin Xiaowei shrank back into the quilt.
Three hours of nightlife has disturbed her daily biological clock.
It was basically impossible for her to be as interested in Min'an Road as Qianye. When she climbed into bed, she felt an overwhelming sleepiness coming over her.
The current matter about Min'an Road and Jiang Liang's strangeness were all forgotten by her subconsciously...
It kept telling her in her head.
It’s better to deal with those inexplicable things after you wake up...
The night fell into a dream.
Lin Xiaoxiao didn't last long before falling asleep.
Including the things Qianye planned to tell the other party when he came before, now he can only postpone it reluctantly.
At present, the problems on Min'an Road have not affected Lin Xiaoxiao.
That's not too anxious.
"The words of others..."
Qianye unconsciously thought of An Zhi, whom he once knew.
There are also values that have been subconsciously formed...
For a moment, he sneered at the idea of so-called great love.
As Lin Xiao sleeps, his soul relaxes and rests.
What neither of them noticed was...
When the time moved to about four o'clock in the morning, a figure stayed downstairs at Lin Xiaoxiao's house. He looked up at the window of the other person's bedroom and remained silent for a long time.
I don't know how much time passed.
This figure seemed to have given up on some idea, turned around and left this place...
...
...
weekend.
Lin Xiaoxiao, who had stayed up all night, obviously got up very late.
But fortunately, as long as she is not going to school or having something important to do, she still maintains a relatively permissive attitude towards her daughter...
Until noon.
Mother Lin, who had already prepared the meal, walked to Lin Xiao's bedroom door and knocked on the door rudely.
"Wake up!"
"Did you secretly play with your phone again last night? The sun was shining on your butt at noon and you still couldn't get up?"
"I'm telling you, don't stay up late playing with your mobile phone. There were stories in the news about children your age who stayed up late playing with their mobile phones and ended up going blind!"
"..."
Mother Lin's way of calling people to get up is very direct.
This direct approach is extremely effective.
Although Lin Xiaoxiao still wanted to lie down for a while before getting up, she still had to get out of the quilt with sleepy eyes in the face of her mother's desperate reminders.
"Where did you get the news from?"
Complaining about my mother’s knowledge.
Lin Xiaoxiao arranged her clothes casually, then walked into the bathroom and started washing up.
In the living room, Da Tou TV is playing a very old-fashioned program.
Mother Lin, who was impatient to wait for Lin Xiaoxiao, was already sitting on the sofa watching TV and eating.
The whole lunch process was no different from usual.
Except that Lin Xiaoxiao didn't feel like she'd gotten enough sleep today, her appetite wasn't very good due to mental fatigue, and she didn't eat much, the rest was just average...
"By the way, a classmate of yours came to see you today, but I told him you were still sleeping, so he left."
After dinner.
Mother Lin, who was clearing away the dishes, said something to Lin Xiaoxiao.
"Find me?"
Lin Xiaoxiao was a little confused.
After all, she has no friends at all. No one has come to her home to look for her since she entered high school. For her, this is the first time in two years...
"Yes, it's a boy. He said his name is Jiang Liang."
"Jiang Liang..."
Lin Xiaoxiao murmured the name.
honestly.
The appearance of Jiang Liang, a classmate, made Lin Xiaoxiao completely unable to figure it out.
From the beginning, his handsome and sunny appearance was favored by female classmates, but then the other party approached me intentionally or unintentionally, and I also felt girlish because of him, and I had a different feeling.
at last......
I saw each other on Min'an Road last night.
There is no doubt that Lin Xiaoxiao, who originally had a good impression of Jiang Liang, had mixed emotions after what happened last night.
After hearing that it was Jiang Liang who came to find him.
Not only was she not as happy as she expected, but she felt a little worried about it...
[Don’t be so nervous, he should have nothing to do with you.]
Qianye comforted Lin Xiaoxiao.
Of course, this sentence was not heard by Lin's mother, because Qianye had already discovered it before, and what he said seemed to be directly conveyed to Lin Xiaoxiao's brain.
So I can hear my own voice.
There is only Lin Xiaoxiao...
With his thoughts mixed together, Lin Xiaoxiao remembered what happened last night. After making an excuse at random, he returned to his room alone.
Just to be on the safe side.
She also locked the bedroom door, fearing that her mother would push the door open and come in.
"Can you tell me what happened last night?"
"And..."
"You ask me if I believe there are ghosts in this world. What does that mean?"
Lin Xiaoxiao, who finally came to his senses, got to the point.
This made Qianye very happy.
At least the little chubby girl didn't just wake up and ignore those strange things, and then asked him to take her to get familiar with things about the horror world.
[Why, you stopped chatting with your classmate Jiang Liang? 】
Qianye said teasingly.
Yesterday we had a lively chat, but today I suddenly became wary of Jiang Liang. As expected, my mind changed really quickly.
Lin Xiaoxiao naturally heard that Qianye was making fun of him.
She pursed her lips and said nothing in the end.
In fact, when Lin Xiaoxiao woke up today and turned on her phone, she didn't find that Jiang Liang had mentioned it at home.
It’s still a plain good morning, lying silently in the quiet dialog box...
Lin Xiaoxiao didn't want to go back.
Because she couldn't use a normal attitude to look at this sunny boy who suddenly appeared in her life.
Seeing that the teasing didn't mean much, Qianye also put away his original bad taste, calmed down his tone slightly, and asked Lin Xiaoxiao.
【Do you think there are ghosts in this world? 】
Still the same problem.
Lin Xiaoxiao, who didn't answer at the time, thought carefully for a moment after hearing this question before expressing his opinion.
"I don't think so."
"If it were like in horror movies, if people turned into ghosts and took revenge after death, then there would be no law in this world."
"There will be no criminals. People should live in harmony and be afraid of hurting each other's soul with their unreasonable words."
[It makes sense...it makes sense.]
Qianye thought for a while.
I think Lin Xiaoxiao is right to infer this.
After all, the appearance and birth of ghosts in most horror stories is an extremely contradictory point.
"But, I feel like I have it now."
Before Qianye could continue to say something.
Lin Xiaoxiao kept his mouth shut even if he tried to explain.
"Your appearance in my body is something that can no longer be explained scientifically."
Qianye was stunned.
Unexpectedly, Lin Xiaoxiao's change of attitude was due to his own problems...
Well.
There doesn't seem to be much wrong with it.
After all, I am no longer a normal person to be precise.
When the change in that plot occurred, in a sense, Chino really became a member of the grotesque.
【It seems so.】
[However, I think it is more reasonable to say that it is not that it cannot be explained by science, but that it cannot be explained by current science...]
Chino nodded where no one could see.
Just give Lin Xiaoxiao some words to correct him.
"So, can you tell me what happened on Min'an Road? Is the missing Wu Di related to Min'an Road? And Jiang Liang, how could he go to that place at that time...
....”
"Finally, are my mother and I safe?"
Lin Xiaoxiao asked the question that she should have thought about from her perspective.
She's not interested in anything about monsters or monsters.
For a girl like her who is still in adolescence, mentally immature, and has received a lot of moral education, what she is more concerned about is the disappearance.
And this so-called disappearance, will it be related to myself and my mother...
【There is quite a lot you want to know.】
【Then let me tell you what I know first.】
Qianye pondered for a while.
Listed his speculations on the questions raised by Lin Xiaoxiao one by one.
[The first is Min'an Road. Judging from our simple actions last night, of course it cannot be blocked due to any infectious disease.]
[I said this last night...]
[The talk about an infectious disease is probably an excuse to cover up something that would cause bad things if exposed.]
[Do you still remember what Jiang Liang and Yan Yanqing said? 】
[Including information you can also find online.]
[Many people are saying that a certain friend or relative of theirs has been blocked due to an infectious disease, but they can’t even get through on the phone. This is very strange...]
"So, the real accident on Min'an Road should be a disappearance?"
Reminiscent of last night, Qianye's action of letting herself open the windows to take a look, and the final result.
Lin Xiaoxiao thought of something about this and asked Qianye.
【Well, it’s missing.】
[If I’m not mistaken, something happened to the people living on Min’an Road. They all disappeared at the same time, and no one was left. This is why you opened a dozen windows and didn’t see anyone.
...]
【As for what happened...】
[Based on the current information, I can only make a reluctant guess, that is, they encountered a supernatural event.]
"supernatural event?"
After asking the question whether do you believe there are ghosts in the world?
Lin Xiaoxiao's acceptance speed was obviously much faster.
Even though I am still surprised, I have not reached the point where I cannot believe it or have serious doubts...
[You may need some time to digest it after I say it.]
[But I think it’s better to tell you this kind of thing in advance.]
[In fact, there are ghosts and monsters in this world...]
Hear the words.
Lin Xiaoxiao did not speak out immediately.
She also guessed in her heart that Qianye might say something like that, otherwise she wouldn't have asked that kind of question before.
Ghosts...
For a person who lives in reality and lives a stable life, this is indeed an exaggerated topic.
[You can doubt whether this is true or not. After all, you have to see it with your own eyes to believe it.]
"So, is this what you've seen?"
After getting the information from Qianye, Lin Xiaoxiao asked him in reply.
【Not only have I seen it, but more than once. 】
Regarding the things in the horror world, Qianye only wanted to give a rough outline. It was obviously inappropriate to tell Lin Xiaoxiao about the source of the curse at this time.
Learning must be done step by step.
What's more, it's the recognition of things that I can't believe I haven't seen before...
After a brief explanation.
Qianye didn't waste too much time on this point and quickly moved to the next question.
[You asked whether the reason for Wu Di’s disappearance might be related to it.]
[Now it seems that I can’t escape the relationship.]
[The people on Min'an Road are missing, and your roommate Wu Di is also missing. Let's not talk about whether the information Jiang Liang gave is true or false. From these two points alone, the chance of encountering it is very small and difficult to encounter.
】
[Besides, do you still remember the story told by another roommate Yu Qian? 】
[She said that before her aunt disappeared, she always felt that someone was following her...]
"The same goes for Wu Di."
Lin Xiaoxiao was not asleep at that time.
Recalling the details of the ghost story convention that day, she was sure that she remembered that after the story was finished, Wu Di added that she had been feeling like someone was following her recently.
Yu Qian's story is not too scary, this can be clearly seen from You Shasha's reaction...
Although girls have richer imaginations and can more clearly feel the feelings brought about by ghost stories, Wu Di will not add drama to himself at the end of the story.
Also, Wu Di left school midway.
She seemed to have some health problems, so she asked her parents to come to school to pick her up in advance, and she did not wait until the actual day of vacation to leave...
"Taken together, what Wu Di encountered is the same as the story Yu Qian told. They both felt as if someone was following them beforehand, and then suddenly disappeared."
"Then it seems that the disappearance is not a coincidence or an accident."
"There must be a connection between Min'an Road and Wu Di..."
There is nothing wrong with Lin Xiaoxiao's analysis direction.
After Qianye briefly told some information, she captured the point that the former wanted to express and connected all the key clues she got.
To be honest.
Qianye was a little doubtful whether this little chubby girl was the one from before.
She is shy, doesn't have many friends, and has a simple mind.
To be able to infer these things and say them at this time is indeed somewhat inconsistent with the character...
【That's right.】
[Of course, we can’t say that there is definitely a connection. The world is a big place and all kinds of shit can happen. I can only say that there is a high probability of a connection. 】
Qianye added for Lin Xiaoxiao.
Without any pause, he immediately moved on to the next thing that Lin Xiaoxiao was concerned about and confused about.
Jiang Liang, he...
Why would you go to a place like Min'an Road at that time?
【Your classmates may not be as simple as you first thought.】
[He may know far more than you and I think.]
[To be honest, I don’t know the identity of this person very well. After all, we haven’t investigated each other much...]
[It is worth mentioning that at first, I noticed that he felt different from ordinary people. Now...it is obvious that he is approaching you with unclear purpose.]
【If you really want to know.】
[Perhaps we can try to ask him out and have more contact with him...]
