Ghost World Office

After clearing his mind, Tao Ye turned to Cheng Qiangjun who was doing nothing, pulled him to his side, and asked him in a low voice:

"Do you have any memory of the day Dan possessed you?"

Not knowing why Tao Ye asked this, Cheng Qiangjun looked puzzled and muttered, "What's wrong? I only have a very vague memory. When I was possessed, I didn't have vision or hearing. I can only roughly perceive the outside world through intuition."

Knowing that Cheng Qiangjun had no vision or hearing that day, Tao Ye was a little disappointed, but continued to ask: "How much do you know about what happened that day?"

Cheng Qiangjun frowned and thought for a while, then said slowly:

"I vaguely felt that Dan manipulated my body to go to the Internet cafe to play games with you, and he got up and left after hitting him. After arriving at the hospital..."

"Did he go out?" Tao Ye caught the point of Cheng Qiangjun's words and interrupted Cheng Qiangjun.

Cheng Qiangjun nodded in confusion, not knowing what Tao Ye wanted to ask, recalled:

"When he possessed me, he shrunk my soul into a small ball and took it with him. So I remember that he walked out of the Internet cafe while you were playing games."

After listening to Cheng Qiangjun's words, a conjecture suddenly emerged in Tao Ye's heart. This conjecture has not been confirmed, so he didn't say it immediately, but Cheng Qiangjun nodded slightly and said:

"understood."

The victim's roommate was still sitting on the sofa beside him sobbing. Cheng Lijun comforted her while casting a begging look at Shen Zhu for help.

Tao Ye was disturbed by what he heard, so he lit a cigarette outside the door and started smoking slowly.

In the dark corridor, the faint light of a burning cigarette illuminates a small space.Staring at the twirling smoke in this bright light, Tao Ye pursed his lips, thoughtfully sorting out the clues that had appeared.

Before he could figure it out, Shen Zhu came out from the door and said to him:

"There was another report just now, and a similar incident happened in the suburbs."

"It's the same situation? Seeing the live broadcaster suddenly disappear?" Tao Ye snuffed out the cigarette, threw the cigarette butt on the ground casually, crushed the sparks with the sole of his shoe, and kicked the cigarette butt into the trash can downstairs.

Shen Zhu nodded, and added: "And it also disappeared when there were people around. Do you want to check the live broadcasts they watched? Maybe there is something wrong with those live broadcasts..."

Tao Ye shook his head and said firmly:

"No need. These live broadcasts should be fine."

"What do you think?" Seeing Tao Ye thoughtful, Shen Zhu asked.

Looking at the concrete steps in the corridor, Tao Ye pondered for a moment, then said to Shen Zhu: "Not yet, I don't think there is anything to be found here."

The clues at the scene were indeed limited, and the victim's roommate, who was an eyewitness, was too emotional to provide more information for the time being.Tao Ye, together with Shen Zhu, Cheng Qiangjun and Cheng Lijun, went back to the noodle shop of the Human World Office located in Yanshi Lane.

According to information provided by the police, in just one day, similar incidents have occurred four times.What each of these incidents have in common is:

The victims all disappeared when there were people around them.

And those witnesses all said that after the victim disappeared, it took a while for them to suddenly realize that the victim disappeared out of thin air.

The police didn't trust the People's Office of City S, and didn't provide them with too many clues. This made Shen Zhu very worried. While pacing back and forth on the second floor of the noodle shop, she complained:

"If you don't believe me, why do we still come to look for it, and refuse to give any information after we look for it? Isn't this playing us!"

Tao Ye sat at the side table, looked at Shen Zhu out of the corner of his eye, and suddenly felt that his previous suspicion of Shen Zhu was a little unreasonable.

How can a ghost who is dedicated to serving the people be a spy of the Dark Gate?

There was no business in the noodle shop at night, and Lao Xu had no work to do, so he was on the second floor, giving Shen Zhu random advice:

"Should I let Xiaotao go to the ghost world and call Lu Chu back?"

Shen Zhu glanced at Old Xu unhappily, and then glanced at the mobile phone that was placed on the table at Old Xu, which was playing the live broadcast. Like taking gunpowder, she said bitterly:

"If you have nothing to do, you can go to sort out the file, don't keep watching the live broadcast and lose yourself."

Old Xu pursed his lips, shifted his gaze back to the female anchor's face embarrassingly, and muttered in a low voice: "I'm not in a hurry. Besides, I'm a person in the world, who dares to touch me."

Hearing what Old Xu said, Tao Ye couldn't help interjecting:

"Ah yes yes yes, who was hanged and humiliated in the museum last time?"

Although Lao Xu had a mean mouth, he didn't have a temper. After listening to Tao Ye's words, he simply stopped talking, leaned closer to the phone screen, pointed to the little heart in the live broadcast room with one finger, and started to like the female anchor.

After Lao Xu stopped talking, the only sound left on the second floor of the noodle restaurant was the noisy music of the female anchor dancing.Disturbed by a piece of electronically synthesized sound, Tao Ye couldn't help but think of Lu Yi.

Lu Yi's face and voice appeared in Tao Ye's mind at the same time, which made him feel restless, so he got up from the chair and walked to the balcony on the second floor, preparing to smoke another cigarette to calm down.

When Tao Ye walked to the glass door of the balcony and touched the metal handle of the glass door with his fingers, the cold touch was like a series of electric currents, which suddenly stimulated Tao Ye's nerves.

In an instant, Tao Ye's movements froze.

Old Xu disappeared out of thin air!This sentence was the only thing left in Tao Ye's mind.

When he looked back to where Lao Xu was sitting, there was no one on the chair.The mobile phone playing the live broadcast stood on the table, and the voice of the hostess inviting water friends to give rewards continued to come from the microphone.

At the same time, other people present were obviously aware of this.

There was a flash of panic in Shen Zhu's eyes, but she quickly regained her composure and asked:

"You feel it too?"

It was the first time for Cheng Lijun and Cheng Qiangjun to come into contact with this kind of thing, the colors on their faces changed, and they didn't say a word for a long time.

Tao Ye removed his hand from the doorknob, put it back into his pocket, nodded to Shen Zhu, and said:

"Yes."

The moment Tao Ye touched the doorknob just now, a memory immediately flooded into his mind:

After Lao Xu was overwhelmed by Tao Ye, he didn't speak any more, and focused on watching the female anchor.Tao Ye thought that Old Xu was very stubborn, so he stared at him for a while, and when Tao Ye stared at Old Xu, Old Xu disappeared out of thin air.

However, the moment Lao Xu disappeared, Tao Ye didn't realize it. Instead, he thought of Lu Yi, feeling restless, and got up to go to the balcony to smoke.

The moment Tao Ye's hand touched the doorknob, the matter of Lao Xu disappearing under his nose suddenly appeared in his mind.

"Oh my god, isn't Lao Xu... a prophecy?" Cheng Lijun was obviously a little scared, and said in a low voice.

Tao Ye raised his hand and rubbed his forehead. Things became more and more difficult and confusing.

Looking at the empty chairs, Shen Zhu frowned, and said to the people present: "It seems that this incident is not as simple as we imagined."

Tao Ye agreed with Shen Zhu's speech, and then analyzed:

"There is no trace of the power of law at the scene, and there is no aura of abnormal souls. The police can't find anything. Now they can still take Lao Xu away under the nose of the human office..."

Cheng Qiangjun slapped his thigh and said loudly as if waking up from a dream: "Could it be... the ghost of the Dark Gate?!"

"It's still not sure if it's the Portal of Darkness, but one thing is certain, the instigator of this incident is provoking us." Shen Zhu's face was as cold as ice, she said firmly.

Taking a peek at Shen Zhu from the corner of his eye, Tao Ye felt more and more that his previous suspicion of Shen Zhu was unreasonable.

After Shen Zhu entered the human world, she handled many supernatural events with outstanding abilities.No matter what, Tao Ye couldn't connect her with the Dark Portal.

After Lao Xu disappeared, as the interim director of the Human World Office of S City, Shen Zhu quickly formulated a response plan and urged Cheng Qiangjun, his brother and sister, and Tao Ye to act according to the plan.

Although they have a plan, they still don't have a clue about these events right now.

Cheng Qiangjun's brother and sister are in charge of communicating with the police, and went to the human affairs offices in surrounding cities to obtain more information.

Tao Ye was responsible for going to the ghost world, reporting Lao Xu's disappearance to the ghost world management office, and asking the ghost world management office to send reinforcements.

Originally, Shen Zhu wanted to arrange for Tao Ye to go to the border between the ghost world and the god world, to send a message to Lu Yi who was in the god world, and to ask Lu Yi's opinion.But Tao Ye immediately rejected Shen Zhu's arrangement.

For everything about Lu Yi, Tao Ye just wanted to escape temporarily and use work to erase the restlessness in his heart.

After receiving the task, Tao Ye didn't delay, and immediately went to the ghost world through the world gate run by the human world in S City.

After Tao Ye completed the report at the General Administration of the Ghost Realm, the staff of the General Administration of the Ghost Realm told him that this incident involved the disappearance of the Human World Office, and they would take it very seriously, and would soon send reinforcements to the Human World Office in S City to assist them fix these things.

Coming out of the General Administration of the Ghost Realm, Tao Ye planned to return to the human world immediately to collect clues with Cheng Qiangjun and his siblings.

Walking on the gray streets of the ghost world, the snow is still floating in the air forever.Tao Ye lowered his head, watching his footsteps print one footprint after another on the snow, feeling very uncomfortable.

The cold wind poured into his coat, he unconsciously tightened his neckline, and his eyes suddenly caught sight of the bracelet on his hand.

The jade bracelet on Tao Ye's wrist is a pair with Lu Yi's.The one for Lu Yi was given to Lu Yi by Tao Ye as a gift on Lu Yi's birthday.

Looking at the flaming red jadeite bracelet in his hand, Tao Ye felt as if a piece of his body was missing, and the cold wind wantonly followed the gap and poured into his internal organs.

Subconsciously, Tao Ye raised his hand to stroke the warm beads on the bracelet, then took off the bracelet and stuffed it into his pocket.

Just when he wanted to continue on his way, he realized that he had unknowingly stood in front of Lu Yi's house in the ghost world.

At this time, a gust of wind blew, and in the garden, on the branches of blooming flowers, snowflakes danced wildly.

Tao Ye looked up at the window on the second floor of the house, it was dark, there was no light inside, and Lu Yi was not inside.
