Ghost World Office

Only then did Tao Ye realize that he had lost his composure just now, so he tried his best to soften his voice:

"Sorry, I suddenly thought of something just now."

Cheng Lijun didn't take this matter to heart, waved his hands and said "it's all right", and then went out to get busy.

Walking to the edge of the balcony railing, Tao Ye raised his hand to gently wipe away the water droplets that had gathered on the railing, and stared at the rain-soaked asphalt road downstairs.

What Cheng Lijun said just now reminded him.

Sometimes, what people think is unsolvable is just that they cannot find the answer to the problem with their own abilities.And Tao Ye has always believed that everything in the world has a reason.

One second before waking up from the dream, the question that the man in red in the dream asked him was buzzing in Tao Ye's mind like a fly.

Tao Ye died in a burning apartment building in his previous life.That day, he saw a little girl in the fire, and Tao Ye died in the fire to save the little girl.

If the little girl hadn't been saved, Tao Ye probably wouldn't have died.

Since Tao Ye's death in his previous life was caused by Lu Yi, then Lu Yi must have predicted that Tao Ye would return to the scene of the fire and save the little girl.

But how can Lu Yi guarantee 100% that Tao Ye will save the little girl?

In fact, even Tao Ye himself didn't know why he returned to the fire scene.His moral sense was not that strong, and to this day he finds his choices incredible.

But in the dream, it was Tao Ye's younger sister, Tao Yi, who prompted Tao Ye to enter the burning apartment building.

If the little girl in the fire scene was Tao Yi, Tao Ye would definitely rush back to save her.

Thinking of this, Tao Ye tasted the deep meaning of the man in red in his dream.The man in red was reminding Tao Ye:

Think about who that little girl was at the scene of the fire that day.

But Tao Ye clearly remembered that he didn't know the little girl in the fire scene.

A terrifying possibility appeared in Tao Ye's mind——

Perhaps Lu Yi really created a phantom of Tao Yi that day to lure Tao Ye back to the fire scene, and then modified Tao Ye's memory afterwards.

If this is the case, Tao Ye cannot accept what Lu Yi has done.He hated being blackmailed the most, hated being manipulated so easily, if Lu Yi used Tao Yi as bait, he might never forgive Lu Yi.

However, Tao Ye did not simply trust his dream, because Cheng Lijun's words just woke him up.

When Cheng Lijun asked him what he dreamed about, he suddenly realized that most of the time, people do not realize that they are dreaming when they are dreaming. I had a dream.

There is a natural gap between dreams and reality.

The logic of people's dreams is very similar to the logic of the recent disappearance.

In these disappearance incidents, the witnesses around the victim said that although they knew that the victim disappeared out of thin air in front of their eyes, they did not realize it at the time, but only remembered it after a period of time.

Suddenly, this kind of testimony seems very unreasonable, because it has violated the logic of human thinking.But if dreams are used to explain these events, then the eyewitness testimony is actually credible.

It's just... those victims obviously disappeared in reality, so what does it have to do with the dream?

Although he was inspired, Tao Ye still couldn't sort out the clues for a while.This conjecture gave him a lot of motivation, making him decide to immediately follow this line of thought to investigate these incidents.

In order to find out the ins and outs of the matter, Tao Ye immediately set off and went to the ghost world again to find out about the situation from Dan.

Looking back now, it was not difficult for Dan to leave the Internet cafe under the noses of everyone, but Tao Ye still felt that this incident was vaguely related to the disappearance.

In the apartment near the ghost world library, Tao Ye met Dan.

Dan was resting today, and seeing Tao Ye coming, he couldn't hide the joy on his face.He welcomed Tao Ye into the room and made a cup of low-quality tea for Tao Ye.

Dan and Xiaobai live together and both live in this apartment.

Xiaobai knew that Tao Ye had helped them, so he wagged his tail when he saw Tao Ye.It's just that Xiaobai is not a hospitable dog, he is somewhat reserved, he just sits on the blanket by the window from a distance, watching Tao Ye with bright eyes.

Seeing that Dan is doing well now, Tao Ye is very relieved.

Sitting on the sofa in the living room of the apartment, Tao Ye took a sip of the tea in his cup and exchanged pleasantries with Dan:

"How are you doing recently, are you used to being in the ghost world?"

Dan smiled and sat down on the small stool next to the tea table: "How can I not get used to it? I have never had a chance to thank you and Lu Chu. Next time you come to the ghost world, I will treat you to dinner!"

The taste of inferior tea leaves is bitter and astringent. This kind of thing is scarce in the ghost world, and I don't know that Dan got it after saving a few days of wages.If he really wanted to invite Lu Yi and Tao Ye to dinner, Dan probably wouldn't be able to save enough for a year.

Tao Ye quickly changed the subject and turned to the main topic:

"I want to ask you something, you were possessed by Cheng Qiangjun that day, can you tell me more about the details?"

Dan's face changed slightly, and the speed of speaking was obviously faster than before:

"You promised me before that the matter is over, and you will not hold me and Xiaobai accountable..."

Tao Ye knew that Dan probably thought he was here to settle accounts, so he pretended to be pitiful and innocent:

"Don't be nervous, I just encountered something..."

When Tao Ye spoke, he looked pitiful and embarrassed, his eyes were shining like a puppy wet by rain.This appearance instantly hit Dan's heart. As a dog lover, Dan immediately felt a little guilty about his vigilant attitude just now, so he asked:

"Did something happen?"

Seeing that his disguise was immediately effective, Tao Ye was overjoyed, took another sip of the tea in his cup, and briefly told Dan about the recent disappearance.

After hearing it, Dan understood the meaning of Tao Ye's coming to him, so he told Tao Ye in detail what happened in the Internet cafe that day——

It was not Dan's own idea to lure Tao Ye and others to the hospital, but a plan given to him by the Dark Gate.

In the Internet cafe, the Dark Gate gave Guo Dan a web address and asked Dan to open the web page in the background when playing games with Tao Ye and others.The Dark Portal told Dan that after opening the website, there is no need to perform other operations, just leave the Internet cafe at the right time.

Dan then did so.He used to be a member of the Dark Portal. Although he didn't have deep feelings for the Dark Portal, he had basic trust.

After listening to Dan's narration, Tao Ye immediately thought of the videos he saw on Cheng Qiangjun's computer after Cheng Qiangjun disappeared from the Internet cafe, and those weird browsing records.

So Tao Ye continued to ask:

"Can you show me that URL?"

"Of course, I remember the website address, but the ghost world can't access the net of the human world. I'll find a piece of paper and copy the website address down later. You can read it when you go back." Dan readily agreed to Tao Ye's request.

Another question also appeared in Tao Ye's mind. During the hospital incident, Dan kidnapped many people to the hospital and threatened Tao Ye with them as hostages.For Dan, kidnapping an ordinary person is a piece of cake, but where did Dan come from to kidnap Shen Zhu who has the power of discipline?

"How did you tie Mai Xiaobo, Old Xu, and the others to the hospital?" Tao Ye asked.

Dan frowned and thought for a moment, then replied:

"To tell you the truth, I was not involved in the matter of tying them to the hospital."

Tao Ye nodded, he believed that Dan had no reason to lie to him.

From this point of view, Dan's series of actions at the beginning were more or less assisted by the Dark Gate.Especially in the hospital incident, the role of the dark door is very large.

After getting the information he wanted, Tao Ye bid farewell to Dan, returned to City S, turned on the computer in the office on the second floor, and entered the website address Dan gave him in the browser.

Tao Ye lightly clicked the [Jump] button with the mouse, and a web page that couldn't be more ordinary jumped out.

Tao Ye squinted his eyes and stared at the screen, and found that this webpage was just an ordinary game website, nothing special.

When Tao Ye was about to close the browser in disappointment, and went to discuss with Shen Zhu, an advertisement on the website caught his attention.

It was an ad for a niche clothing brand. The ad was scrolling in the scroll bar at the top of the webpage. Next to the model and logo, there was a line of words:

[December 12st to May 1st, a grand event is coming. 】

At first glance, there was nothing strange about this line of writing, but after savoring it carefully, Tao Ye felt that this line of writing was very strange.

Ordinary advertisements are nothing more than that: either write some concise and beautiful words to show the high-end of the brand, or indicate when events will be held and when new products will be released, so that consumers can buy them quickly.

But only the date is written on this advertisement, and immediately after the date are four words: "Grand attack".

But what exactly is coming is not reflected in the advertisement.

Faced with this strange lack of information, Tao Ye clicked on the advertisement and logged on to the brand's official website.

The design of the official website is very tasteful, with simple black and gray tones from the beginning to the end, which makes people look very comfortable.

However, the more Tao Ye looked at it, the more he felt that something was wrong. He looked through the official website from beginning to end, but he couldn't find any information about "Grand Attack". This brand seemed to have existed a few years ago, and there was no activity recently.

That being the case, why is it written like this in the advertisement?

Tao Ye suddenly had a certain feeling that this brand must have something to do with the recent disappearance.Although there is no evidence, his intuition has always been accurate, and he is going to check the background of this brand again.

After turning off the computer, Tao Ye suddenly thought of Mai Xiaobo.

No matter in his previous life or in this life, Tao Ye believes that he has nothing to do with fashion trends.He likes to buy cheap clothes for more than 40 yuan online, and even when he has a lot of money on hand, he tends to buy something else.

But Mai Xiaobo is different. As a young rich second generation who has been extravagant and lustful since childhood, Mai Xiaobo's obsession with trends can be said to be without any suspense.

So Tao Ye dialed Mai Xiaobo's number, ready to learn more about this brand.
