Aoba Office

Through a glass door, there is pouring rain on one side and a dry indoor environment on the other.

Just now a group of people rushed into the room, and now the people inside the convenience store rushed out frantically.

I was almost hit by the forcefully pushed door, but luckily I took a step back in time. But the crowd rushing out still bumped into me.

Chen Yihan, who was beside me, pulled me into his car.

After sitting down, I realized that I still had the phone in my hand and the call was still on.

There was no sound from the Gumo side for a long time. But with Gu Mo's hearing, he should have heard everything about our situation, right?

I looked at the panicked crowd outside and called out to Gu Mo.

"...We are going to the office." Gu Mo's voice was stiff.

I was stunned.

"The office? Are you going to the office? What's going on?" I had a bad feeling.

"You are right, that is the voice of the spirit." Gu Mo was very calm.

I opened my mouth, not knowing what to say, and my jaw felt a little sore, as if someone had grabbed my jaw, or even my neck.

"Are they going to the office now?" Chen Yihan, who was sitting in the driver's seat, asked.

I nodded blankly.

Chen Yihan has already started the car.

Some people ran out of the convenience store and wanted to hitchhike, but they were all rejected rudely by Chen Yihan.

His driving skills are very good, and the performance of this car is also very good. He shuttled flexibly through the scene of the car accident, quickly got rid of those people, and sped towards the direction of the Sixth Village of Workers and Peasants.

Gu Mo hung up the phone, and a message alert appeared on my phone.

The thin ones are very anxious. Of course they all felt this disaster that covered the entire Minqing City.

The fat man said that Xue Jingyue couldn't even leave the house now. The door lock of her house actually broke, locking her inside the house.

This also means that the outside world is full of dangers.

I don't think that woman was killing innocent people indiscriminately. She has her own standards. However, she is a spirit, a spirit born of human thoughts. At the beginning, this idea may just want to avenge justice and punish the murderer, but what about later?

People in Qingye are very sure that the spirit will deteriorate. Sooner or later, they will become haters of humans and begin to kill and take revenge on humans.

My personal understanding is that this is more akin to competition between species. We create spirits, and at the same time, we can easily destroy them. So in order to survive, of course they cannot sit still and wait for death.

As they are born, they lose more and more control and gradually develop independent thoughts of their own.

If this spirit is Wu Ling...or is related to Wu Ling...

I had a headache.

In this way, I can't just destroy her.

And I can't destroy her now.

I've tried it before and I just can't get to her essence. I don't know if this is because of the difference in power, or if spirits are special and cannot be eliminated in this way. To destroy the spirit... carrier... her carrier is Chen Xiaoqiu's body!

There is nothing we can do.

I just feel that the road ahead is bumpy and there is no end in sight.

Chen Yihan's expression was dark, and she increased the speed of the car to the highest speed, speeding through the heavy rain.

It didn’t take long for us to arrive at the Sixth Village of Workers and Peasants.

The village of Workers and Peasants Six is ​​very quiet. This neighborhood seems to be dead.

But there are sporadic lights in the residential buildings, proving that there are still living people here.

The guard originally wanted to stop us, but after Chen Yihan showed his ID, he let us go uneasily.

"How is the community now?" Chen Yihan asked skillfully.

"The ambulance just left. No one was injured except the old lady. Their family members went to the hospital with them," the doorman said.

It seems that something happened in the Sixth Village of Workers and Peasants.

Chen Yihan nodded, drove into the community, and parked the car downstairs in Building 6.

A car parked at the door of Building 6. I didn't pay attention at first, but Chen Yihan glanced sideways. The car was not parked in the marked parking area.

The two of us went upstairs to the fifth floor. When we reached the sixth floor, we both stopped.

I clearly felt that the sound of rain outside became quieter.

It was like the volume of the TV had been turned down, and it suddenly became quieter.

Looking out the window, the rain has not changed at all.

"Here we come." Someone said from above.

I looked up and saw Gu Mo standing by the railing.

The hotel where Gu Mo lives is very close to here. However, it was beyond my expectation that he and Nangong Yao could come here so quickly on a rainy day.

Nangong Yao smiled and said, "The car below belongs to us."

"Oh." I responded, not knowing what to say.

"Open the door." Gu Mo said.

It seems that both of them are calm now. Nangong Yao is calmer than Gu Mo, and his performance is no different from usual.

I don’t know if this is because of something that happened during the years when Nangong Yaoduo stayed at the firm, or if it’s just a difference in personality between the two people.

I took out the key and opened the office door.

After opening the door, I thought of a question.

The office was quiet and gloomy, no different from the past.

At the end of the corridor, there should be a painting, not a door.

As I entered, so did the three of them.

Gu Mo and Nangong Yao sat down directly on the sofa.

Nangong Yao motioned for us to sit down too.

"Ye Qing is not here, let's wait a moment. Let's talk about what happened."

I felt even more surprised and uneasy.

Ye Qing is not here...where has Ye Qing gone?

Chen Yihan took it easy and sat down on the sofa. It seems that Chen Xiaoqiu's incident has not gone to his head and he has lost his sense of proportion and calmness.

I exhaled and told myself not to think too much. After sitting down, I slowly recounted what I had experienced that night.

I try to explain all the details clearly and provide comprehensive information.

After I finished speaking, Nangong Yao and Gu Mo looked at Chen Yihan.

The office has long been out of power and water, and now the room is very dark. I couldn't see their expressions clearly, I could only see some reflections in their eyes in the dark night.

Chen Yihan was not in a hurry to speak, so the four of us just sat there.

After a while, I became a little anxious and wanted to ask, but Chen Yihan finally spoke.

"I'm not very sure... I only know that Xiaoqiu died once."

I was shocked. Even though I was mentally prepared, my heart still beat twice when I heard this answer.

Chen Yihan's speaking speed was almost the same as mine before, very slow and difficult.

However, it's not like he needs to work hard to recall the details, but it's psychologically difficult for him to describe this secret that has been hidden for many years.

"...My sister-in-law is in poor health. After marrying my brother, she had several dystocias. They got married very young, but never had children. After the hospital examination, she had no health problems, and neither did my brother. Our family , and my sister-in-law and her natal family began to pray to God and pray for a safe pregnancy and childbirth.”
