One day, the parallel world collapsed

When Mo Bai arrived at the community where Mu Zichen lived, Xiao Changge hadn't arrived yet.He followed his memory to find the apartment building where Mu Zichen lived, and saw that his car was parked downstairs.Mo Bai frowned slightly, and took the elevator up.

Mu Zichen is a native of Lincheng, but he didn't live with his parents. He bought an apartment and lived alone.After Mo Bai went upstairs, the woman at the opposite door led the child out, saw him standing at the door of Mu Zichen's house, and was taken aback for a moment, then tentatively asked, "Are you looking for Xiaomu?"

Seeing Mo Bai nodded, the other party said again: "Xiao Mu hasn't come back these two days, maybe he's on a business trip."

Mu Zichen has a pleasant personality and gets along very well with his neighbors. He once mentioned to Mo Bai that he was a loner, and the neighbors always fed him.Hearing what the woman said at this time, Mo Bai nodded and lied casually: "He contacted me and said he left something, and asked me to pick it up for him."

"Oh, so." The woman smiled when she heard the words, and said while closing the door, "Occasionally, Xiaomu will lose everything." She took the child and pressed the elevator, and bowed to Mo Bai, "Then you are busy."

Mo Bai watched the other party get into the elevator and go downstairs, and then reached out and flicked on the combination lock.

The numbers on the button screen jumped a few times quickly, and then the fingerprint button lit up.With a beep of unlocking, the indicator light on the fingerprint lock jumped green, and the door opened with a click.Mo Bai stepped into the room expressionlessly, his eyes were a bit chill.

If you don't know Mu Zichen well, the phrase "business trip" might be able to explain his disappearance in the past few days.However, Mo Bai understands Mu Zichen's character, and no matter how busy he is at work, the information on social platforms will never stop; even if he is really on a business trip, Mu Zichen still has to park his car in the company's underground garage first. of.

Because when he bought the house, the underground garage in the community was already full, and he was only allocated one surface parking space.Mu Zichen treasures his car, and he has to wash it every few days.If he catches up with a business trip, he will move the car to the company's underground garage to prevent his car from being exposed to rain and sun.

And now, Mu Zichen's car is downstairs.This shows that he did not travel far away, or it should be said that he did not take the initiative to go out.

In the house, the slippers were placed facing inwards by the door.Muzichen's laptop is placed on the shoe cabinet, and the car keys and door keys are placed on the computer together.Mo Bai coldly glanced at the things around him, and found that the golf club that had been placed behind the door before was gone.

Mo Bai's eyes flashed, and he walked in a few more steps - the missing cue was lying on the floor behind the sofa.

The window of the living room is wide open, the wind blows in from the window, and the gauze bay window is open in the air, quiet, but it seems to be a hidden crisis.

Mo Bai's eyes suddenly changed, and a flash of spiritual light suddenly shot from his side towards the center of the living room, but it seemed to be absorbed by something in the void and disappeared without causing the slightest ripple.Just a moment later, the void in the center of the living room suddenly twisted and changed, as if a hole had been torn from the inside, and white mist was emitted outward one after another.It wasn't until the white mist became one piece and dissipated into the air like water vapor that the weird silence seemed to be broken, and then the sound of a mobile phone call came from under the sofa.

The ringing of the bell was continuous, over and over again, piercing the atmosphere in the room, making it extraordinarily sharp and ear-piercing.

Until finally, the ringing stopped, the phone buzzed and vibrated, and the faint light disappeared under the sofa.

Mo Bai reached out and took Mu Zichen's left mobile phone.

Several missed calls, from several different contacts, only the last message, which popped up without being unlocked by the owner - a photo of Mu Zichen lying down on the ground, holding a root club.

The coldness in Mo Bai's eyes suddenly froze.

"Mo Bai?"

Xiao Changge's voice came from the gate.When he saw the figure with his back facing him in the room, he was terrified for a moment.As an ordinary human being, he couldn't see anything strange in the room, but felt that Mo Bai standing in front was very dangerous and terrifying at this moment.

But that was just a momentary feeling.Mo Bai turned around when he heard his voice. Although his expression was indifferent, it was just as usual.

"Mu Zichen is missing," he said.

"What—" Xiao Changge was speechless, obviously too shocked.

Mo Bai handed Mu Zichen's cell phone to Xiao Changge.He has unlocked the phone, and Xiao Changge can view call records and WeChat messages one by one.The more he looked down, the more dignified Xiao Changge's face became.

In these records, there are not only messages from himself for three consecutive days, but also messages from Mu Zichen's parents, company leaders and colleagues, as well as messages from other friends and various groups.Those who sent him messages alone were all asking him what happened, where he went, and why he didn't reply to the message or answer the phone.Then Xiao Changge turned to the top of the interface, and saw the already-viewed photo sent by a person with an all-black profile picture and a string of garbled characters on WeChat.

He was so startled that his hands shook, and he didn't hold Mu Zichen's cell phone steady.

"Someone... kidnapped him..."

The phone fell on the carpet with a blunt sound.The screen was turned upside down, and a little light leaked from the edge of the carpet.

When Mo Bai bent down to pick up the phone, he covered the cold dark light in his eyes.Then he said to Xiao Changge: "Call the police."

------

Muzichen's disappearance was obviously not caused by humans.The last photo was posted at the right time. No matter who got the phone, it was a kind of demonstration and even more a kind of provocation.And since the maze was arranged, it was obviously mainly aimed at the outsiders around Mu Zichen - Mo Bai, or Xia Qingfeng.

This move was also very successful, because at this time, Mo Bai was really angry.

However, these things are too scary for Xiao Changge, an ordinary human being, so there is no need for Mo Bai to tell him.He was only asked to use human methods to seek help, and then he sent a voice transmission to Xia Qingfeng himself.

"How could it be Mu Zichen?" Xia Qingfeng stood up abruptly, and the tea made from thorn seeds in the cup spilled all over the coffee table.Holding the phone, he didn't even notice that his fingertips were trembling. "Why... Mu Zichen?"

Mo Bai listened to the unsteady breath of the person on the other end of the phone, "Perhaps, it is to warn you and me."

Or maybe... Mu Zichen was the spirit body they were looking for.And if this was the reason, Mu Zichen's situation would be very dangerous.

"Mo Bai..." Xia Qingfeng clenched his fists and closed his eyes, "Can you find him?"

"Yes." Mo Bai said.His eyes were very cold, no longer the indifference of being supercilious and indifferent, but bitingly cold with anger.He was walking on the road, but the pedestrians around him seemed to be unable to see him. He only felt a gust of wind brushing his cheeks, and turned his head suspiciously, only to see cracks appearing on the road beside him.

Boom-!

The sky overhead was covered with thick stratus clouds, blocking out the warm afterglow of the setting sun.Thunder and lightning flashed, and the wind and clouds surged.

"It is going to rain."

Pedestrians looked at the sudden change in the weather and read aloud, hurriedly speeding up.

Mo Bai's house.

Mo Qi took the clothes and schoolbags that were drying on the balcony into the house, and when he came out of the room, the black cat was still squatting on the window sill in a daze.The little mermaid's fish tank was placed next to the black cat. She lay on the edge of the fish tank and looked at the accumulated clouds outside the window, and couldn't help sighing.

It's 05:30, and Mo Bai hasn't come back yet.In the kitchen, the rice cooker has already exuded the fragrance of rice, and the dishes are also heated up in the pot beside it.Mo Qi turned on the phone and clicked into the chat box with Mo Bai.The message the other party sent him was still at 02:30 [I'm going to Mu Zichen].Mo Qi edited it a few times, but he still didn't say [Brother Mo Bai, are you back? 】.

He sighed silently, put the phone down, and then said to the black cat and the mermaid, "I'll take out the trash, and I'll have dinner when I get back." He tried to sound as relaxed as possible.

"Okay..." One cat and one fish replied lazily.The mermaid added: "Be careful."

Mo Qi walked out the door with a garbage bag in his hand, and responded with a smile.

As soon as the sun went down, the wind was blowing and it was a little cold on the body.The trash can in the community was a little far away from the building where Mo Bai lived, so Mo Qi trotted around to the back of the unit building and rubbed the goose bumps on his arms.

Because it was a holiday, no residents came out at this point, and the street lights were not on, so it was very quiet along the way.

Mo Qi threw the garbage bag into the trash can, and when he was about to turn back, a sudden chill made him shiver.There was a trace of fear in his eyes, and he turned around slowly - a person wearing a black cloak stood silently behind him, with flames gathering in his hands.

Alarm bells rang in Mo Qi's heart, and he subconsciously fled to another road.

[Burning the undead is already torture, how bad he must be to exorcise ghosts in this way. ]

[…he has a big hood on, so you can't see his face…]

[Grandma Liu seemed to be in pain when she was caught...]

His mind was full of what the raccoon cat demon and the little mermaid said when they mentioned that someone was hunting ghosts on the road before, and Mo Qi's face was covered with cold sweat.That's right, it was that person, that person that day!

Watching the boy run away, the man in the cloak gave a cold smile and flew after him.Looking at the running figure in front of him, his crimson pupils moved slightly, and he waved a flame.

The flames flew over Mo Qi's head and hit the ground, creating a wall of fire in an instant.The raging fire gave off a scorching breath, blocking the boy's way.Panting heavily, Mo Qi turned around and watched the man in the cloak fall from the air, his hands wrapped in a ball of fire.The opponent approached him step by step, Mo Qi backed away until the back of his hand touched the fire wall.

"hiss--"

Mo Qi suddenly withdrew his hand, and saw that the back of his hand had been burned.

"Who are you?" He stared at the lower half of the opponent's face with red lines climbing under the cloak, and asked with a trembling voice.

The man snorted and raised his hand: "The dead don't need to know."

After finishing the words, the corner of his mouth suddenly pressed down, and with a wave of his hand, a fireball went straight towards Mo Qi.

"Meow--!"

The black cat jumped down from the midair, its tail suddenly doubled midway, and slammed into the ball of fire.The fireball was deflected by the black cat's tail and hit the flower bed beside it.The shrubs in the flower beds were ignited, and the flames rushed to the security windows of the residents on the first floor.However, such a large flame did not attract the attention of any residents, as if at this moment, they were the only ones in the entire community.

The black cat's sharp front paws made a few scratches on the ground, its fur stood up all over, bared its teeth between Mo Qi and the man in the cloak, protecting Mo Qi behind him.

Not self-sufficient.

The man looked at the little black cat in front of him, and the corner of his mouth curled slightly.With a wave of his hand, a huge flaming bird rose behind him.The firebird spread its wings and let out a cry, its eyes suddenly lit up, and then rushed straight to the black cat in front of it.

"Meow meow--!"
