Aoba Office

That's just an illusion caused by a side effect and shouldn't count.

Even if we explore the deeper reasons for this, at most it is that I became suspicious of Qi Bai after experiencing that dream.

I am not familiar with Qi Bai, and my limited understanding of her comes from the consciousness I received in dreams, as well as some of the content mentioned by the thin man. In fact, these are not accurate. Even Qi Bai's own consciousness cannot be used as a reference. What I saw was not all of Qi Bai, just some of Qi Bai's thoughts during that short period of time.

Considering Shouzi's current decision, I thought it would be better not to tell him about Qi Bai's renewed love for him.

I still have doubts about Qi Bai, and I can’t believe her like Slim Man.

That's my opinion, and everyone else's opinion is the same. Even Guo Yujie, who is a little too optimistic, doesn't support thin people at the moment.

"She was a good person when she was alive, but not necessarily when she died. From what Lynch described, the process was chaotic and painful. She should have been full of fear when she died," Chen Xiaoqiu said bluntly.

The thin man frowned when he heard this. He probably didn't want to hear anyone talk about Qi Bai's death in detail. At this moment, he could only listen patiently to Chen Xiaoqiu's analysis.

"Lynch also mentioned that the ghosts induced by the soul-calling are all aggressive. This cannot be a coincidence, nor is it an exception. Then, there are only two reasons that can be explained. One is that in this world, in the entire world The ghosts have become aggressive. This possibility is not impossible. What is happening now, that is, what happened in the game space that Lynch encountered, can be regarded as a proof. Another situation is that Granny Enna herself has appeared. The problem is that Grandma Enna affects the nearby ghosts and makes them aggressive. Or it is not the problem of Grandma Enna. The side effects of ghost whispers are still unknown. Maybe that's it. It's possible that your ex-girlfriend became aggressive after her death, no matter what her nature was."

The thin man was silent, not knowing how to refute Chen Xiaoqiu.

In fact, Chen Xiaoqiu's inference can be said to be impeccable. Until new evidence emerges, anyone would have thought of both possibilities and would have suspected Slender Man's ex-girlfriend.

Chen Xiaoqiu opened his mouth and was about to say something else when there was a knock on the office door.

Guo Yujie ran to open the door.

It was the old leader who sent someone to inform everyone to go to the meeting.

The corridor became lively, and people from various offices went to the conference room in twos and threes.

We could only suspend the discussion and follow others to the office.

In the conference room, the old leader sat at the head of the table, holding a cup of tea and taking a sip.

When everyone arrived, he glanced around, said, "We're all here," and began to speak.

The content of the speech was naturally about what happened yesterday.

Jiang You "committed suicide", the old doctor died mysteriously, and the body of an outsider was found in the small garden... these three things added together are already a very serious problem.

But these matters are not under the control of our demolition office, nor do they need to be dealt with by the demolition office. We are not a private company that will stop work or even close down because of a murder in our office.

After informing the police of the preliminary investigation, the old leader changed his tune and solemnly ordered us to raise our ideological awareness during this special period.

The implication is not to talk nonsense outside and wait for the final investigation results from the police.

It is rare for an old leader to make such a tough stance, which makes many people uncomfortable. This kind of strong pressure may be very effective in a short period of time. The weird aspects of the three incidents will be suppressed in people's hearts and will not burst out for the time being. At most, they will be their own random thoughts. But if there is no reassuring and acceptable result for a long time, this kind of pressure will also lead to a strong rebound.

It is impossible for the old leader not to know this. He's not the kind of person to keep his lid on either.

I glanced at Chen Xiaoqiu.

Chen Xiaoqiu didn't squint.

Compared to people in other offices, the five of us are probably the most relaxed.

We have known the truth for a long time and have experienced many similar supernatural events. We still have fears and insecurities, but those emotions are no longer caused by a single event. What worries us is the future of the entire world.

So I thought of Qiu Ziyang.

I haven't told Wu Ling about Qiu Ziyang, including the dream.

I didn't completely believe Qiu Ziyang.

Qiu Ziyang has a lot of doubts, and there are a lot of conversations that make me believe. However, after experiencing so many things, I am no longer so rash.

It is like a person's growth, from obeying his parents' words in childhood, to being rebellious in adolescence, to having stable and unshakable ideas in adulthood. This is a gradual process.

That's how I feel about the supernatural.

What Qiu Ziyang said may be true. His purpose is exactly what he said. He hopes to use my hand to change his sister's fate.

However, the future he believes in may not be true.

I still remember several recent reality-altering phenomena.

Nothing is worth fully believing.

Even my own memory, I may not be able to completely trust it. How could I trust Qiu Ziyang who suddenly appeared and had a hand in the illusion of side effects of my abilities?

"...Well, that's it. You go back and continue working. Leave other matters to professionals. Don't be distracted. Do what needs to be done as soon as possible. This year is coming to an end, and the new year is coming. , the demolition work must be completed by the end of next year. This is the deadline. Okay, that’s it.”

The old leader has finished speaking.

Once the attitude is revealed, everyone knows what to do.

When entering the conference room, everyone was shuffling and whispering. When leaving, everyone walked quickly, kept silent, and stopped looking around.

I glanced at the old leader who was still sitting in his seat.

At this time, the old leader no longer had the amiability of the past, and also lost his previous sternness, revealing the fatigue of an elderly person.

Slender Man and I returned to the office. As soon as the door was closed, the solemn speech of the old leader was forgotten.

"You have to make some preparations." Chen Xiaoqiu immediately brought the topic back to before the meeting, "In case she attacks you, you can have a way to protect yourself."

"Let Qingye's people arrange it?" Guo Yujie asked.

Chen Xiaoqiu looked at me.

I was stunned for a moment before reacting, "I haven't told the people in Qingye about this yet."

"Huh?"

This time, the other three were in a daze.

"Even if their attitude is relatively negative, we have to do this ourselves now..." Fatty said after careful consideration, feeling a little lacking in confidence.

I just felt that the fat man's words were like a thunderbolt, hitting the top of my head.

Do it yourself...do it yourself...

Qiu Ziyang said, Ye Qing didn't confess everything to me, I just killed someone myself, and then something went wrong...

"Brother Qi?"

"Lynch?"

Fatty and Guo Yujie called me at the same time.

When I came back to my senses, I was already breaking out in a cold sweat.
