The Taste of Ghosts in the World

"Since this month, there have been cases of young women disappearing one after another. More than four cases have been filed for investigation. The victims are all girls, ranging in age from 13 to 18. These girls have been missing for more than 36 hours. Their lives and deaths are unknown. Their families are very worried. Please actively provide clues and assist the police in the investigation..."

"The girl is missing?" Qi Mu stood up, helping the golden retriever fasten the chain, "Sounds like something done by an obscene man."

Qi Buyang asked him: "Are you going out?"

"Yes, go for a walk with the dog." Jin Mao stretched out his tongue and licked Qi Mu's finger, and the saliva in his mouth flowed from his hand. All the saliva rubbed up, then turned around and asked Qi Buyang: "Are you going?"

"Go! I've never slipped past a dog!" Qi Buyang stood up expectantly.

Qi Mu couldn't help pouring cold water on him, "When you slip past it once, you'll know that this kind of thing isn't fun at all."

Qi Buyang taught him earnestly: "People always have to try, why are you so passive!" "..."

So Qi Buyang eagerly followed Qi Mu and Feng Baisui to go out.

Feng Baisui floated beside Qi Mu and asked him, "When will this brat leave?"

"Then you have to ask him."

"He lives and eats at home for free, and you don't rush?"

Qi Mu spread his hands, "When I only have enough money for one person, I will leave."

Feng Baisui fell silent.

Qi Mu smiled and patted him, "Don't be so stingy, he is also a guest after all, and he helped us."

Because of that "guest", Feng Baisui's mood changed from cloudy to sunny for no reason, but he still felt uncomfortable looking at Qi Buyang with an innocent face.

Qi Mu took Qi Buyang to greet the hanged ghost, the latter saw him and asked in surprise, "Isn't this the little celestial master from that day?"

"Yes." Qi Mu nodded.

Qi Buyang frowned and looked at the hanged ghost, hesitant to speak.

"Why stare?" Qi Mu asked him.

"No ..."

Qi Mu smiled, and said to the hanged ghost: "The last time his grandfather wanted to take you in, he wanted to apologize to you,"

"Don't mind." The Hanged Ghost nodded gently, and turned to Qi Mu, "Why is this child with you?"

Qi Mu waved his hand, "Young man, there will always be a few days of rebellion."

The hanged ghost floated up the treetops with a smile.

When I went back, a man in a hat came up to me, with his head down, holding a bag of things in his arms.He accidentally bumped into Qi Buyang while passing by, the man staggered, the bag in his hand fell to the ground, and several red apples rolled out.

"Ah, I'm sorry." Qi Buyang quickly squatted down to help him pick up the apples. The man seemed to be frightened, and took them in a hurry.

When all the apples were picked up, he ran away in a hurry.During the whole process, he buried his head firmly and did not say a word.

Qi Buyang looked at the man's back and stood silently for a while.

"What's wrong?" Qi Mu asked.

"He... has a ghostly aura about him."

"It may be that someone died in the family these days, which is normal."

Qi Buyang still frowned, a little worried, "Will the ghosts in his house harm him?"

"How do I know." Qi Mu looked back, "You want to follow?"

He thought for a while, and finally shook his head and said, "I just don't think he looks very happy."

Qi Mu patted him on the shoulder and said, "Some people are habitually unhappy."

"Is there such a person?" Qi Buyang was very suspicious.

"Of course." Qi Mu leisurely pulled the golden retriever and continued to walk back.

Qi Buyang asked: "Have you ever met?"

"I've met it." He said casually.

"where is it?"

"It's everywhere."

"who is it?"

"..."

In the end, Qi Mu was so annoyed that he dragged Feng Baisui to put him in front of Qi Buyang, "This is it."

Qi Buyang took a look, "It's not that he's unhappy, it's that he has no expression."

"Yes, yes." Qi Mu said perfunctorily, "He has this expression when he is unhappy."

"Then isn't he always unhappy?"

"So there is such a person."

Qi Buyang suddenly realized: "So there really is!"

Feng Baisui: "..."

Qi Mu stayed at school all day, and when school was about to end, he felt that something was missing today.

What is it?

After thinking for a while, he finally realized that the sight that was usually staring at him was gone.

Looking back at the seat diagonally behind, it was empty.Didn't Wen Qinlan come today?

Thinking that she might have asked for leave, Qi Mu didn't care.

But when I went to school the next day, I found that the atmosphere was not right as soon as I entered the classroom.

The boys all gathered around the girls, as if they were courting them, and some people patted their chests and promised, "Don't worry! I will protect you!"

Qi Mu was confused and asked Fang Ji, "What's going on?"

Fang Ji pulled him to the seat, and said mysteriously: "Wen Qinlan, you should be familiar, right? You went to a haunted house with us last time, and people often mentioned you when they talked to me..."

"That's right." Qi Mu interrupted his gossip, "What happened?"

"Didn't Wen Qinlan not come yesterday? The teacher checked the number of people during the evening self-study, and found out that she didn't come, and she didn't ask for leave, so she called her parents and said that she didn't come home all day, thinking she was at school. The teacher and Wen Qinlan's family went out to look for it most of the night, but they couldn't find it, and it turned out that...she disappeared."

"Missing?"

Fang Ji lowered his voice and continued: "Have you watched the news recently? It's the one where the girl disappeared."

Qi Mu remembered the previous report, so he nodded.

"We're all guessing that she might have been involved in that case! You said what could happen if she disappeared? Either she was sold or she was killed."

Qi Mu frowned, "Has she offended anyone?"

"Who knows! Psychopaths are everywhere now." As he spoke, Fang Ji looked at the people around him, "The girls in the class are terrified to death, I have to go to comfort them, this is the most effective time! "

He took a step forward and asked pretendingly, "Do you want to go together? It seems that you don't usually talk to girls."

"No need." Qi Mu said without changing his expression, "I'm not interested in girls."

"..."

During class, the teacher also briefly talked about this matter, and reminded everyone to pay more attention to safety, and it is best for girls to go with each other outside.

After class, everyone gathered around to discuss this matter eagerly, and the classroom was noisy.

Qi Mu looked at those people silently. They all showed different degrees of worry and fear on their faces, and some of them tried their best to put on an expression of indifference.

But from the crowd, he could smell a hint of excitement.

Back home, Qi Mu mentioned Wen Qinlan's disappearance, Qi Buyang thought of meeting her in the haunted house, and was also worried about her, so he asked Qi Mu: "Did you call the police?"

"It should be reported."

"Shall we help find it?"

Regarding his overzealous proposal, Qi Mu just said: "Don't worry, just leave it to the police. We are just ordinary people and we can't do anything."

In the evening, Feng Baisui accompanied Qi Mu to read on the bed, and suddenly said: "I will go to school with you starting tomorrow."

"why?"

"Prevent disappearance."

Qi Mu put down the book in his hand and reminded him: "...the missing are all young girls."

"It's hard to say, if they are suddenly interested in boys, will they be the first to attack you?"

"Not really... Whether it is ornamental or practical, there is a big difference between girls and boys."

Feng Baisui squinted at him, and asked coldly: "Do you still want to be used?"

"..." At this time, Qi Mu's mind was embellished with a very discordant imaginary scene, his scalp tingled for a while, and he swore that he really didn't want to think about it, but his brain was out of control.

So the next day, Feng Baisui really went to school with Qi Mu, but Wen Qinlan hadn't been found yet, and the class was enveloped in a rare oppressive atmosphere, which made everyone panic for a while.

Qi Mu asked Feng Baisui in a low voice: "Do you think they are really worried about Wen Qinlan?"

"Maybe." Feng Baisui looked at those people coldly, "Maybe more people are worried about themselves."

"There are also some interesting ones."

Qi Mu lowered his head and ignored the noise around him.

After returning home, Qi Buyang asked again: "Did you find that girl?"

"No."

He was still about to say something, but the phone on the table rang suddenly, and when he saw the word "Wen Qinlan" flashing on the screen, Qi Mu was stunned.

They had exchanged cell phone numbers in the haunted house, but why did Wen Qinlan call her after a few days of disappearance?

The more Qi Mu thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, the ring was still ringing, he pressed the call button, "Hello?"

There was a noise on the phone, as if the caller hadn't held the phone properly. After a long time, Wen Qinlan began to speak: "Qi Mu...Qi Mu...I don't want to die...help me..."

Hearing this, Qi Mu's heart trembled, and he pressed the phone closer, hoping to hear it clearly, but Wen Qinlan was crying and speaking, her voice was indistinct.

Both Feng Baisui and Qi Buyang looked at him, so he simply turned on the loudspeaker, and Wen Qinlan's cry for help came out.

"Where are you? Is there anyone around?"

"It's all dead people...all dead people..." She cried so hard that she couldn't speak, as if she couldn't breathe, "he went out...I don't know when he will come back...how long can I live? I don't want to Die...save me..."

Qi Mu lowered his voice and tried to comfort her, "Don't be afraid, tell me, where are you?"

"...South Kiln...I only know that this is the South Kiln..."

South Kiln!Follow the direction of Longhu out of the city.

"Don't hang up the phone, just leave it on!"

After finishing speaking in a hurry, Qi Mu opened the door, hesitated for a moment, then turned back and took the throwing knife for self-defense, Qi Buyang had already rushed out first.

After hailing a taxi, Qi Mu said to the driver: "Go to Nanyao, please hurry up!"

The driver turned around and said, "Where is Nanyao?"

"Let's talk over there first!"

Maybe it was because their expressions were too serious, the driver didn't ask any more questions, just stepped on the accelerator and drove quickly.

After driving for a while, Mr. Driver felt lonely and began to gossip: "Are you going to get back the little girlfriend you broke up with?"

Without waiting for anyone to answer, he said by himself: "No, no, if the two of you are rivals in love, right?"

"No." Qi Mu is not in the mood to make a half-joke now.

"Ah! That's to seek revenge? Uncle told you, young people are impulsive and ignorant, and they will regret it later."

Qi Buyang became anxious, raised his eyebrows and said, "Stop talking! Concentrate on driving your car!"

The driver was taken aback, and complained dissatisfiedly: "I'm telling you the truth, don't take it seriously, listen to my uncle's advice, there is nothing wrong..."

"..."

He rambled all the way to Nanyao, Qi Mu quickly opened the door and got out of the car, touched his pocket, only found a 50 yuan card, stuffed it in directly through the window, and said: "Don't look for it!"

The driver said sadly: "These young people don't listen to people's advice, and they will suffer a lot in the future!" He happily stuffed the green comrade Chairman into the money box.
