Chapter 8 Peeping
On that day, everyone gathered in Luo Guangming's home. Of course, Zhou Feng also came.
"Gu Jin has been killed. If you want to survive, you can only follow our instructions. Well... Listen well, first of all, don't get close to the mirror and elevator as much as possible during this period. When taking a shower, take a shower as much as possible, because if you wash the basin, ghosts may pop up in the water. Never enter a dim place and stay in public places as much as possible."
The three of them were very careful about the precautions that were very similar to those in the past. Zhou Feng didn't believe it very much at first, but when Yue Zhen told her that Gu Jin was dead, and he and Guangming both said that they had seen the female ghost, they had to believe it was true. At the same time, they also had great expectations for Runan and Ajing.
"You don't need to be too nervous before the death deadline arrives." A Jing first comforted them and then said: "Well... Once the death date is reached, I can implement my plan. First, stay in a public place, and then we will be responsible for the escape route. If Runan releases his supernatural ability, it will bring some obstacles to the female ghost, and that is the best time for us to escape!"
Once the pointer crosses midnight, no, it means that at midnight, when the death date begins, the life of the cursed person will no longer be guaranteed, and it is not a rare thing to die in the next second. Then, only with Running the Supernatural Power, it will bring some obstacles to the female ghost. From the analysis of his situation of dispersing the ghost, it may be possible that the female ghost cannot get close to the cursed person for the time being.
Within twenty-four hours, the most critical moment is midnight at night, which is a key point from death to life. Before that moment, Runan must reserve supernatural abilities, and at that time, he should use all his strength to deal with it. As long as midnight is past, he will enter a safe period and he will survive.
Within twenty-four hours, there are too many variables. The female ghost will never stand in front of you and ask you to deal with her. It will definitely hide in an invisible place, directly invisible, and then suddenly attack and kill people. Sometimes, it will even disappear directly. Considering this, it is necessary to protect it in an area without dead corners. Then, the first thing is to arrange people to monitor the cursed person on all sides, and no matter where the female ghost comes out, you can notice it as soon as possible.
This is the best arrangement at present... A Jing also knew very well that even if Runan's supernatural ability was improved, the possibility of rescuing them was still very small. Therefore, at least we should use this opportunity to increase Runan's practical experience and let him face the ghosts.
In addition, there is another problem. That is Runli. After much consideration, Ajing decided to let Runli come here in person. After all, the determination of the date of death is related to life and death, and it is absolutely unacceptable. Runli must be told in person before it can be correct. Runni's current status should be able to judge the authenticity of her sister. In this way, it will be a little more safe. Of course, it took a little time to convince Runni.
"I promise you that she only provides time data and will never participate in the task, right? I admit that I have expectations for her supernatural abilities, but this is the major premise for our cooperation, and I will not lose the big picture because of the small."
She said that, and Runan also understood the importance of Runli, and after weighing the pros and cons, he agreed.
However, A Jing did not expect that she was too underestimating the horror of the female ghost in the painting.
Although Gu Jin was dead, because he lived alone and his body had not been found, he did not tell others about this. According to A Jing's intention, he could not call the police, so he had to temporarily let his body stay there until it was discovered. After all, someone might hear the conversation between Runan and Yuezhen in their internship unit that day. If the police were told the police about Gu Jin, they would definitely be taken to the police station for investigation. Once that time was exactly the date of death, staying in the police station would definitely be detrimental to the planning.
Then the best way is to... make Gu Jin's body not discovered as much as possible. Of course, this cannot last long. If you don't go to work, the internship unit will probably contact him at home. However, after all, you are just an intern and have been absent from work at most. You can only be fired. Don't worry too much. The school is relatively loose and you won't pay too much attention.
In addition, Ajing had sprinkled a potion she prepared alone on his body, which could delay the time for the body to rot and smell by about a week. In that way, the neighbor would not call the police because of the stench of the body. Because he still owed the rent, the landlord might go to his place to collect the rent, so Yuezhen paid for the money himself and paid off all the arrears of rent. Because the two were friends, they would not be suspected after doing this. Afterwards, Runan also admired Ajing's meticulous mind, and he didn't expect that she could make that kind of potion. It seems that there are many treasures in the underground laboratory of her house. She seems to have brought a lot of good things.
Because Luo Guangming resigned, he had to stay outside on the street and wander around. He was considered to be in a "public place". Because it was not his turn yet, his life is safe now.
It was from this day that he noticed something.
There was also an apartment opposite the apartment where he lived, less than ten meters away. In the window of the apartment opposite the window of his study, the room seemed to be an empty room. He had never cared much about it, but... when he came home that night and stood in front of the study window, he actually found that there was light in the window. Has someone moved in there?
This was not a strange thing at first. But now he was alone at home and was thinking a lot. Out of curiosity, he stayed in front of the window and watched.
Because the distance is not far away, and his own vision is good, he can see clearly. The window seems to be a study room, with a desk in front of the window and a bookshelf on the left. What Luo Guangming cares a little about is...
Looking from that window, you can vaguely see a row of windows on the right. The row of windows was pulled up by the curtains. This was a very ordinary scene, but... he always felt something behind the curtains because it seemed that the curtains were a little raised. Because the view below the curtains was covered by the desk, it was impossible to see clearly. If there was a person behind the curtains, there was nothing to make a fuss. But Luo Guangming was always a little worried during this special period.
He opened the fourth drawer of the desk and took out a telescope. This telescope has a high frequency score and can adjust the distance. The scene in a window less than ten meters can naturally be as close as it is in front of him.
From the scene that could be seen from that window, he clearly saw... the curtain did have a bulge! Moreover, the raised outline was obviously human!
His hands holding the telescope trembled slightly, and he had to comfort himself: Maybe it was the owner's quirk, and he liked to hide behind the curtains, that's that simple, right? This explanation makes completely understandable, and even if it is really "she"... can appear behind the curtains of his own house, why run to the apartment opposite?
Is that true? He thought about it, so he put down his telescope and went to bed.
However, the scene seen by the telescope was always lingering in his mind. And he also thought that if he put Gu Jin's body in his house and ignored him, would his ghost also hate him? But there was no way to survive... I hope he could understand him...
When he woke up the next day, it was about 6 o'clock in the morning. Ajing suggested that he live as usual first and do not have to be too anxious. For example, he could consider continuing to submit resumes to other units for internships. After all, this is also a good opportunity to continue to stay in public. After making a decision, he planned to go online to find out if there is any internship recruitment and then submit his resume. At this moment, as if he was a tragic act, he took out the telescope and looked at the room again.
It seems... as long as the person behind the curtain disappears, he can interpret all this as a quirk of the owner.
but……
The raised figure on the curtain still exists! And the location is exactly the same as yesterday!
The telescope in his hand fell to the ground in an instant, and he didn't even respond to the pain in his foot. Could it be that the person behind the curtain has been standing behind it since last night? No matter how weird it is, it is not that exaggerated, right?
No... there is another explanation. The owner really likes to do such meaningless things, so he gets up early in the morning and hides behind the curtains again. This is not without. But... is it really the case? Even he himself feels a bit far-fetched.
So he didn't want anything, put on his clothes and ran out, intending to ignore anything, and submit his resume first. When he went out, he turned around and looked at the window of the apartment opposite, and then left.
On the way, he even called Ajing specifically.
"You mean you see someone behind the curtain? You understand, do you know what room it is? I have a master key, and I can help you check it out."
After hearing what A Jing said, Luo Guangming was very grateful and completely threw the matter of her holding her with a knife out of the sky, thanking her repeatedly.
Runli is coming again until the afternoon, so Runan and Ajing have already arrived in front of the apartment first.
"After that being said, don't you have to go to work? Remember you said you are an illustration writer?"
"Yes, I have drawn illustrations for Zuo Ziyue's novel. Because she has no new works recently, I don't have any jobs for the time being. I have always had the habit of saving money, and I have also said that I am not interested in investment, so I never go to stock trading, and the money is basically enough. And even if I lack money, I can help some pharmacy factories to prepare drugs for remuneration. After all, I have spent a lot of time learning to make drugs in the past three years."
"The chemical knowledge in medicine is...for example, formulas, etc., how do you learn?"
"There is nothing complicated. Most of them are collected by collecting some plants, studying their structure and ingredients, and then conducting experiments on various animals. After choosing the appropriate formula, you should also pay attention to the ingredients and determine the chemical characteristics. Of course, this requires time and money. I don't care about time, and funds are initially a problem. Fortunately, my father sent me a sum of money as my initial budget. As for how to control the funds, I think he wants to decide for himself. I roughly estimate how his money came about. After all, there are too many ways for predictors like my father to make money."
It seems that Ajing's father is testing her. She lets her learn not to rely on others while alone, find the most appropriate way to survive, and mature in the shortest time.
"My father only provides me with materials, and I work hard on how to make them into the finished product. I don't hate his approach, which may be the best for me. He has been carrying the fate of an ominous son since he was a child, so he has always been independent. He also wants to make me grow up in the same way. Although I have been lonely in the past three years, when I think of my father watching me somewhere and looking forward to my growth, I can persevere. All this is just to survive."
Runan now deeply understood why Ajing could give him a unique feeling. Her perseverance and unyielding also greatly encouraged Runan.
No matter what, you must live!
The two asked the apartment administrator in advance about the room. According to the administrator, it was vacant since three years ago and no one has moved in yet.
Hearing this, the two of them naturally understood what was going on.
Of course, you can't sit in the elevator, otherwise you'd be forceful to see them. However, when you walk the stairs, you feel palpitations. Although it's daytime now, the empty corridor can still give people unlimited imagination. Runan and Ajing both tiptoed up step by step, and Runan's palms were already soaked with sweat. After all, this is the first time he faced a ghost directly. When he goes in... what will happen?
"Listen... our purpose is not to kill 'her'... Not to mention you, even my father would not be able to do this." A Jing was also nervous at the moment, but she still pretended to be calm on the outside and told Runan: "Our purpose is to test the other party's reality. After all, knowing yourself and your enemy will never be defeated. If you don't understand the enemy, it will be very unfavorable to us."
The study in question is in Room 401, with four floors of stairs. It took them about twenty minutes to complete. Not only was it too slow to walk, but there was also a reason because every time I walked to a new floor, I would stay in place for a long time before I dared to continue walking.
Finally arrived at the door of 401.
"Runan... Listen well, when I insert the key into the keyhole, don't release your supernatural abilities first, otherwise you will startle the snake. After entering, we must be vigilant at all times. When facing "her", don't be afraid, because she is not the ghost that will kill you in your curse. What you have to do is release your supernatural abilities as much as possible. If the situation is wrong, run away immediately. Don't worry, I have a way to ensure that we can escape."
How? Is there any potion that can make her feet ventilated? It is not impossible. Run secretly heard what she said, and felt much more at ease. Then, Ajing took out the master key and opened the door.
As the administrator said, as soon as I entered the door, I knew it had been abandoned for a long time. Not to mention the dust and spider webs all over the wall, the empty room alone could prove this. Then, the two of them were close together, always alert to the surroundings.
According to Ajing's instructions, Runan did not emit his supernatural powers from his body, but he obviously felt that there was definitely something in this room. Although the sun was shining brightly outside at this moment, his fear had not diminished at all. If Ajing had not been with him, he would have been unable to continue.
The two of them almost leaned their shoulders and moved step by step towards the room in the opposite apartment. To be honest, although both of them were awakened, this suffocating atmosphere was too depressing, as if the female ghost would jump out of the door at any time. In fact, if they really came out, they would not be afraid, but the current situation is even more terrifying. The invisible enemy is far terrifying than the tangible enemy.
The road that could be completed in five or six steps was already completed, and it took nearly a minute and a half before the two moved to the door of the room. When they walked in, they saw that they were pulled up with brown curtains, but there were no bookshelf or desk in the room! And it was obvious that there was no one behind the curtains.
"Did Luo Guangming read it wrong?"
Runan An walked over with relief and opened the curtains. There was indeed only one window behind him, and there was nothing else. Behind this window was another room, which was smaller. Overall... it seemed that the female ghost was not here.
But what was the feeling just now? Could it be an illusion?
However, at this moment... there was a slight sound of footsteps outside the room. Then there was a loud bang, and the door of the entrance was closed!
Ajing rushed out immediately, but there was still no one outside. She ran to the entrance and wanted to open the door again, but found that the master key could not be opened.
The footsteps just now...
Chapter completed!
