Chapter VII Discussion
"besides."
Hubert continued to say that just now, he saw a suspicious woman outside the dessert shop at the corner of the intersection near him. The woman wore sunglasses and a hat to cover up her appearance.
The strange thing is that although she is wearing a pair of black sunglasses, she is holding a tattered book in her hand, and she will read it from time to time. The woman's expression is very uneasy, and she reads very carefully, as if she is afraid of missing a word.
of.
The dessert shop she chose was right opposite the coffee shop, and she could see the scene clearly.
"Although I can't see her face clearly, her height and body shape completely match Lin Qing's."
Hubert said that he originally planned to approach the other party quietly to confirm his identity; but who knew that Lin Qing, who was still reading a book, suddenly seemed to notice something.
Almost instantly, she raised her head and looked in the direction where she was.
Before Hubert could get close, Lin Qing immediately ran away to the corner of the street. By the time Hubert caught up with her, she had already disappeared.
"You only saw Lin Qing just now? Also, what happened to the woman in white?" Xiaolong asked.
Hubert shook his head, with a solemn expression: "I can confirm that the woman in white is not a human being. As for Lin Qing, she was the only one outside the store at that time, and I did not see Jiang Xiangnan."
Shen Tinglan and Su Li looked at each other. After Hubert finished speaking, they fell into silence, seeming to be thinking about something.
"Old Xiu, have you been targeted by a female ghost?" Wei Chongming was still more afraid of ghosts than monsters.
Hubert shrugged helplessly and recalled it carefully. The car was going too fast at that time, and the female ghost in white was standing on the roadside. He just caught a glimpse of its figure accidentally. If it had any characteristics...
"One of her feet was bare, and one of her feet was wearing a red high-heeled shoe. There was some blood on the skirt. She looked like she had been killed in a car accident," Hubert said.
"Anyway, please pay attention. Why do I feel so scared?" Xiaolong crossed his arms and rubbed them.
Hubert smiled as usual. In his opinion, it would be abnormal not to encounter any dangerous attacks after entering the mission.
On the other side, Su Li suddenly spoke. She believed that Lin Qing's appearance was no accident. If the other party was determined to hide, how could he know that the five of them would appear here today? According to Hubert's description, she should
It was because he knew the whereabouts of his group that he came here deliberately.
"It's not surprising. After all, this cafe is opened by Zhou Zijun. Maybe Lin Qing has been secretly spying on us these days. It's like playing hide-and-seek. We are knowing that she is hiding, so she is keeping a close eye on us.
He knows his whereabouts like the back of his hand." Wei Chongming said.
"But it's strange. If she really wanted to avoid us, she could have left the city or run far away; why would she spend so much effort hiding in the dark and monitoring her?"
Xiaolong thought for a while and came up with his own inference: "Could we have misunderstood her from the beginning? Lin Qing deliberately stayed away from her friends, not because she was afraid that they would find out the secret, but because she didn't want to implicate everyone? Hubert said that it was not
I didn’t see Anan. Thinking about it from another angle, she is actually not just hiding from us..."
"I think what Xiaolong said makes sense. Lin Qing should also have discovered the fact that Jiang Xiangnan is not human." Combining Hubert's experience just now and the behavior of Lin Qing he described, Shen Tinglan opened the diary in the computer again.
photo.
"I have a hypothesis, if the stories written in this diary are all true things that happened. And now, except for Lin Qing, each of our names have also appeared in the book... For example, today, Lin Qing Qing saw our itinerary through the diary, and also saw the prophecy that Feng Jun had a car accident. Out of worry, she went to the cafe to confirm, so maybe it would make sense."
"I'm going! No way?" Wei Chongming was stunned at first, and then suddenly remembered that in that video, everyone, including Lin Qing, had touched and read the diary.
"It may also be because Lin Qing has become the protagonist of this story, and we are all her friends."
Shen Tinglan added: "Don't forget the story written in the front of the diary. The protagonist, his family, and friends were all killed in the end, so we were all cursed."
Su Li expressed that he agreed with Shen Tinglan's view.
Not long after she came back, Lin Qing discovered something strange about Anan. When she realized that the strange things happening around her were all related to the diary she had picked up, she saw horrific stories about her friends in the diary. .
Out of guilt and panic, Lin Qing chose to cut off contact with everyone. While not wanting to be found by Anan, she also tried to use this method to help her friends escape their cursed fate.
"But you don't need to be too nervous." Su Li said. Perhaps for ordinary people, once they are cursed, there is only one way to die. But for players, the plot and direction of the story presented in the book can be changed.
For example, what happened to Hubert this afternoon. If Feng Jun was driving at the time, he would have been killed on the spot. But Hubert relied on his personal ability and props to successfully avert death.
"No wonder Lin Qing was so surprised and panicked when she saw me. She probably didn't know how to explain Anan and the diary to us, so she ran away in a panic." Hubert nodded frequently, thinking that Su Li's analysis Makes sense.
"Now that Lin Qing has this diary in her hand, no matter how we find her, she can predict our plans one step ahead." Shen Tinglan said: "In this case, it is better to let her come to us on her own initiative."
"What should I say? Send her a text message to explain?" Xiaolong asked.
Su Li shook his head: "Words are not enough to convince the other party, everything must be proven with practical actions."
"I understand. What you mean, Miss Su, is that like Hubert, the rest of us will encounter different horror stories one after another. If we rely on our own abilities to resolve the crisis, the problem will be solved."
"Yes."
While Su Li was talking, Hubert's cell phone on the other side suddenly rang. He glanced at the cell phone and found that the caller was Feng Jun's wife. After the call was hung up, the other party soon sent another message, roughly The content is to ask when the husband will come home.
"Space has said before that we must try our best to play our roles and not cause others to doubt us. Also, if everyone is targeted by different curses, it may be very troublesome to get together." Shen Tinglan said, "Just to be on the safe side. , Let’s go our separate ways tonight.”
"I understand, let's work together and we can play mahjong." Wei Chongming couldn't help but joke.
Shen Tinglan smiled and told his companions to pay attention to their own safety. Considering that the mission had just begun, the power of the curse should not be too strong. Now that everyone is no longer a newcomer to the space, it is more than enough to cope with this.
Since Feng Jun was already married and had a child, in order to avoid involving innocent plot characters, Hubert only told his wife that he had something to do recently and would not go back for the time being. He booked a hotel near the cafe and planned to rest there temporarily for the next two days.
The same goes for Su Li. Although Zhao Xiaoxue has a boyfriend, fortunately, the two do not live together. Now Zhao Xiaoxue is renting together with another girl. The other girl went on a business trip a few days ago, and she is currently the only one in the rented house.
Sang Zhan and Dai Wangshu are currently single and living alone and have no worries at all.
