Chapter 94: Doubts

Everyone turned to look at Jiang Wang at the same time.

"What...what happened?" Jiang Wang was startled by our sudden gaze and asked uncertainly.

"What did you just say?" I asked him with a frown.

"Me? I didn't say anything." Jiang Wang was a little confused when faced with my question.

We looked at each other, all a little confused about the current situation.

"I clearly heard you talking just now." Lin Hanning also said to Jiang Wang.

However, Jiang Wang still repeated with a confused look on his face: "I really didn't say anything!"

"Perhaps it's the tension that has led to collective delusion. Let's stop being suspicious of each other for now." Chen Yubing spoke up to give everyone a way out.

Lin Hanning also nodded and stopped asking questions.

"We're almost at the top, everyone, hold on a little longer." I smiled slightly, trying to liven up the atmosphere, then continued walking while holding the rope.

During this process, I deliberately moved closer to Chen Yubing and winked at her.

Chen Yubing immediately nodded in understanding.

After being in the Investigation Bureau for a long time, there will always be some tacit understanding among teammates.

What I meant just now was to ask whether Chen Yubing also heard what Jiang Wang said.

Chen Yubing’s answer was yes.

Although the possibility of collective delusion cannot be ruled out, even if the environment caused collective delusion, it is likely that everyone is deluding. Everyone heard Jiang Wang's voice, but he alone did not know it. This is really suspicious.

Obviously Chen Yubing thought so too, but the situation was still unclear. In order to avoid alerting the enemy, Chen Yubing said this.

Thinking back to what I just heard Jiang Wang say.

"The moonlight is beautiful, look up at it."

!!!

This sentence was not recalled by me, but Jiang Wang said it again.

The three of us turned around in surprise at the same time, but for some reason, the rope connecting all of us had broken at Jiang Wang's point.

But Jiang Wang was not standing behind us at this moment, but was standing on the opposite side, on the side where the moonlight was shining!

At this moment, he was bathing in the moonlight, with his back to the window, giving us a weird smile.

The red and white moonlight shone on his left and right cheeks respectively, giving his smile a strange halo.

At the same time, the Morse code reminder sounded again.

"Darkness...safety, light...danger."

After understanding the content of the Morse code, my heart started beating uncontrollably.

Darkness is safe, light is dangerous, does that mean moonlight?

Morse code seems a little more active than usual, but can it be believed?

I'm not sure.

The Morse code that always guided me in the past was now suspiciously active, but Jiang Wang in front of me was not acting normally either.

But thinking back to when Jiang Wang accidentally looked up at the moon in the cafe, I decided to believe the Morse code for now.

No matter how you look at it, Jiang Wang seems more suspicious.

"Jiang Wang, what's wrong with you?" Lin Hanning was about to go over, but was grabbed by me.

“Don’t go over there!”

Hearing my voice, Jiang Wang seemed a little hurt. He raised his eyes and revealed a somewhat aggrieved expression.

"Why don't you come over? Aren't we best friends?"

"Ji Ling, what's going on? Do you know something?" Seeing this, Chen Yubing asked me softly.

I hesitated for a second and shook my head:

"I don't know the specifics, but I'm going to say a few things. You must remember them. Don't ask me why."

Seeing my serious expression, Chen Yubing and Lin Hanning both nodded.

"First, don't look at the moon, no matter how many there are in the sky."

"Second, stay out of the moonlight. Stay in the dark."

“Third, don’t trust me completely.”

The three points I mentioned are completely contradictory, but I don’t know how to explain it to them.

Not only Jiang Wang has seen the moon, strictly speaking, I have seen it too. Coupled with the unusually active Morse code reminders at this moment, I am not sure whether I have been affected as well.

So I could only ask them both not to believe me.

But obviously, this logical conflict was very strange. Chen Yubing and Lin Hanning looked at each other and both felt a little puzzled.

Lin Hanning put his hand on my forehead, wanting to check on me, but I politely declined.

Obviously Jiang Wang's condition is not normal now, which means that Lin Hanning's purification just now did not work.

If I am also affected, Lin Hanning's actions will not have any effect, and may even have the opposite effect.

Chen Yubing looked at me, hesitant to speak, and finally didn't ask anything. He just nodded and said:

"I see."

I breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at Jiang Wang. He stood there quietly with his head tilted, as if waiting for me to finish talking to them.

If it weren't for that weird smile still on his face, I would even think that he was a little inexplicably well-behaved at this moment.

As if he saw that I had finished speaking, he took a step forward silently and stretched out his hand in our direction:

"Don't you want to see the moonlight? It's beautiful."

No one dared to answer, the three of us just took a step back silently.

Seeing my actions, Jiang Wang seemed a little annoyed. He chuckled softly, then suddenly looked up and glared at us with resentment.

The next second, he suddenly jumped up, his hands turned into blades and attacked me fiercely.

"clang--"

Fortunately, I reacted in time and blocked it with my sword.

"Why are you guys like this too!"

Jiang Wang roared at me like a madman, and then slashed at me fiercely with his knife again.

I dodged in time and took the opportunity to cut my own rope. I shouted to Lin Hanning, "Take Yu Bing to a dark place and open the protective shield! Ensure your safety!"

Then I quickly moved into a room with curtains. Jiang Wang had lost his mind at this moment, staring at me with hatred in his eyes. I easily led him over.

If it's simply in the dark, my vision is not obstructed, and I don't have to worry about accidentally being exposed to moonlight, so my movements become much more convenient.

In addition, although Jiang Wang's abilities are both hard and soft, I have received more professional and systematic training, so I am not at a disadvantage when fighting against him.

After several clashes between the Miao Dao and the blade made of flesh and blood, I glanced at the open door and saw that mist was already rising from the stairs.

I didn't dare to fight any longer, so I rushed out of the room and gestured to Lin Hanning and the others to go upstairs and find a place to hide.

"Go straight to the top floor!"

I shouted while blocking Jiang Wang's attacks. After they went up, I quickly went to the top floor.

After going up about ten floors, I heard Chen Yubing's voice coming from upstairs.

"We're at the top floor. Do you need me to come down and help you?"

"No need, just find a dark place to hide first." I responded briefly and continued to look at Jiang Wang.

He had just been kicked to the ground by me, but now he was tirelessly getting up again.
