Mysterious country

Zhang Chunxue and Liu Changmei ran to several nearby hotels in the heavy rain before finally finding one with an available room.

Although the price of the room was ridiculously high, the two of them still paid with heartache. It was unlucky for both of them to pay 440 yuan each.

Because it rained heavily today, they could only stay here for a day and then consider buying tickets out of their own pockets until tomorrow.

But they all hope that this matter can turn around. After all, the air tickets back are very expensive and their savings are pitiful.

Both of them were soaked by the rain and were shivering with cold. Fortunately, there was air conditioning in the room and they could turn on the hot air to relieve themselves.

After taking off all their clothes, the two of them sat naked on the bed, both of them looking ugly.

"If I had known this, I wouldn't have come here even if I killed myself!"

"Whoever it was, probably wouldn't have come here after knowing what would happen."

Zhang Chunxue smiled bitterly and shook her head. At this time, she glanced at her mobile phone, which still had no signal, and asked Liu Changmei:

"Does your cell phone have a signal?"

"No, I just watched it. I really saw a ghost!"

"We just saw a ghost, otherwise there's really no way to explain it."

"But it doesn't matter if the phone doesn't have signal. When we get warmer, we can use the hotel's front desk phone to make calls."

Liu Changmei doesn't feel that they have lost contact with the outside world now. In fact, if they want, they can take a taxi to the airport now.

Zhang Chunxue nodded symbolically after hearing this, thinking that this was also a way, but they obviously didn't need it at the moment.

"Actually, I have always had a doubt."

Liu Changmei suddenly thought of a question at this time.

"What doubts?"

"Those people who were replaced, where did they go?"

"I don't know." Although Zhang Chunxue had a guess in her heart, she didn't say it out loud because she didn't want her guess to be correct.

"You really don't know, or you don't want to say it?"

Liu Changmei seemed to see through Zhang Chunxue's thoughts and asked again tentatively.

"I don't know." Zhang Chunxue shook his head.

“Actually, I have a guess, but it might be a bit scary to say it.

Do you think those people who have been replaced... are they all dead? "

Zhang Chunxue's expression changed, her clenched fists trembled slightly, she lowered her head and said nothing.

Seeing this, Liu Changmei also gave an ugly laugh and comforted herself by saying:

"This is just an idea of ​​mine. The truth should not be like this."

After staying naked in the air-conditioned room for a while, Zhang Chunxue and Liu Changmei each found a change of clothes from their suitcases and put them on again.

Turning off the air conditioner, the two of them took their room cards and left the room. They took the elevator down to the front desk of the hotel and asked the waiter who was watching a TV series on his mobile phone:

"Our mobile phones may be flooded and there is no signal at all. Can I use your landline to make a call?"

"Okay." The waiter's attitude was quite good and he did not refuse them.

After saying thank you, Zhang Chunxue took Liu Changmei's cell phone and called the company's HR manager again.

The purpose of her call was simple, to tell him the situation so that they could call the police.

After the phone beeped twice, it was quickly answered. Zhang Chunxue tried not to sound so anxious and said calmly:

"Hello, I am Zhang Chunxue from the Finance Department. I..."

"Where are you?" Before Zhang Chunxue could finish speaking, a somewhat vicious voice sounded on the phone.

Zhang Chunxue was startled by the voice, but she didn't think much and replied:

"We are no longer in the villa. We are in a nearby hotel. We..."

"You can't escape!"

At this time, another vicious roar came from the phone.

Because the sound was very loud, Liu Changmei also heard it, and then she said in fear:

“That’s not the HR manager’s voice!”

Hearing this, Zhang Chunxue quickly hung up the phone, but then she compared the phone numbers she dialed and found that she did not call the wrong number, it was indeed the HR manager.

Zhang Chunxue's uneasiness began to intensify. She no longer dared to delay any longer, so she quickly picked up the phone and dialed 110.

After hanging up 110, Zhang Chunxue felt a little calmer, while Liu Changmei asked uncertainly:

"Did you call the police?"

"Well, because I think if this matter continues to be delayed, our situation will be very dangerous."

Zhang Chunxue expressed her uneasiness:

"The voice on the phone just now, although I don't know who it is, he is obviously someone in the villa. I don't think they will let us go."

"But why is this? We haven't offended anyone!"

"Who knows, anyway, I have already called the police. I think the police will come here soon. I will just let them solve it then."

The front desk clerk was confused by the conversation between Zhang Chunxue and Liu Changmei. He thought they had encountered something bad in the hotel, so he interrupted and asked:

"Excuse me, did you encounter any problems during your stay?"

"No, we called the police because several colleagues who were traveling with us disappeared. It has nothing to do with you here."

After Zhang Chunxue explained to the waiter, she and Liu Changmei returned to the room upstairs.

The next thing they had to do was to stay in the room and wait for the police to arrive.

It was past 7 o'clock in the evening, and the heavy rain showed no signs of letting up at all. After Xia Qi and Zhao Jingshu paid the fare, they hurriedly ran out of the car with a salute.

Zhao Huifeng stood at the door of the villa with a confused look on his face, having no idea why these two people suddenly ran back again.

"What kind of trick are you two playing?"

Looking at the two people running over with salutes and smiles on their faces, Zhao Huifeng still had a look of confusion on his face.

"It's not because I miss you so much that I have to come back to stay with you for two more days."

Zhao Jingshu put down her luggage and gave her father a hug. As for Xia Qi, she said a bit stinkingly next to her:

"Jingshu said she was afraid that you would be too lonely in your old age and do something illegal like door-to-door service, so we came back."

"You kid, stop talking nonsense there. Believe it or not, I will kick you out!"

"Then I'd better hurry into the house."

Xia Xia Qi didn't dare to tease Zhao Huifeng anymore and hurriedly ran in with the salute in hand.

After returning, Xia Qi did not sit down to rest, so he asked Zhao Huifeng:

"Uncle Zhao, do you know where No. 32 Fengling Road is?"

"The road outside the door is Fengling Road. This is No. 78. If you say No. 32, it should be to the west, not very far. Why do you ask?"
