I saw a dark shadow standing in the curtain behind them. The moonlight shone in, and the shadow's appearance was completely reflected on the curtain.
He looked as thin as a piece of paper, standing very straight with his hands pressed against his sides, standing still as if he was punished. He looked particularly strange and creepy in the dark office.
Is this... a person?
Or a ghost?
Seeing this scene, Jiang Xi even forgot to breathe and his brain froze.
She subconsciously took a step back, her back pressed against a warm chest, her arm grabbed by someone, and Hou Liang's steady voice came to her ears.
"Xixi, don't be afraid, I'm here."
Jiang Xi closed his eyes, turned his head away, and hummed in a trembling voice.
Her back was already wet with cold sweat, and her throat was a little dry and hoarse after talking so much.
[Who understands my Xixi’s cool analysis just now…]
[Oh my god, he's so handsome! Now that I think about it, Hou Liang was the most cautious. I'm afraid I was fooled by Qingli.]
[She looks so deceptive, and her smiling face makes it hard to imagine that she is such a scary and vicious person.]
[No wonder Qingli went straight to Wu Bianming... It turns out that she knew it was Wu Bianming's doing a long time ago, but she chose to conceal it for the sake of her reputation.]
[Oh my god, I don’t believe in beautiful women anymore???]
[Really, it gave me chills, hair standing on end, goose bumps all over my body, so the man who beat Hu Ling in Xixi's dream must be Wu Bianming.]
[I actually started to feel a little sympathy for Bai Jingmo... Is he also controlled by Wu Bianming? ]
[No wonder. Otherwise, according to Bai Jingmo's personality, he would have taken action a long time ago. He must have been controlled by Wu Bianming.]
[Since Qingli is not a good person, then aren't Cen Xiu and Yu Haoye in danger? ]
[I almost forgot about those two idiots. It’s over. Good luck to them. Amen——]
[What about Xixi's situation now? Is this a ghost? It's not twelve o'clock yet, right?]
Jiang Xi also had doubts about this.
She had checked the time once before and was sure it was not yet twelve o'clock.
Noticing that the figure opposite her didn't move, as if it was just a puppet, she took the opportunity to take out her hand and looked down:
11:45.
She frowned instantly and looked at the figure in front of her
Fifteen minutes left?
So why did the ghost appear now?
Before she could figure out the answer, she heard Hou Liang's voice suddenly in her ear. He whispered, "Xixi, the door can be opened. Count to three and we'll rush out together."
It turned out that Hou Liang also noticed that the figure opposite did not seem to have any intention of approaching them, so he quietly reached out to the door.
I originally wanted to try and see if I could open the door, but when I tried it I found out that the door was not locked at all.
Jiang Xi nodded slightly to show that he understood.
Then Hou Liang's low voice sounded in her ears.
"three."
"two."
"one."
As the last sound fell, Jiang Xi's wrist was held by Hou Liang, and the two of them turned around and ran towards the door.
At the last second before running out of the office, Jiang Xi turned around and looked behind him. The figure was still behind the curtains.
Then... I saw the other person's head seemed to turn here.
Damn.
Jiang Xi's face turned pale instantly and he turned his head away honestly, not daring to look again.
They ran down one floor in one breath, and then stopped to catch their breath.
Jiang Xi propped herself up on her knees and glanced at the stairs. After making sure that the figure had not followed her, she took out her cell phone and planned to call Cen Xiu and the others to ask about the situation.
Since she encountered a ghost, then Cen Xiu and the others who were with Qingli must have been in greater danger than her.
But before she could dial, she heard a faint voice suddenly behind her.
“Xixi…”
The sound was very faint, but Jiang Xi still heard it clearly.
Her hands froze instantly, her eyes stared blankly at the screen, and for a moment she didn't dare to look up.
She was afraid that what was in front of her was an illusion.
But I'm afraid it's not an illusion.
Hou Liang walked slowly to the side and held her wrist: "She's here..."
His voice was complex and obscure, but the meaning revealed in his words made Jiang Xi hold the phone tightly.
Her eyes were red, and she finally turned her head slowly to look.
At this moment, the action that originally took only a few seconds to complete seemed to take several centuries.
When she saw the girl behind her clearly, the face that was almost blurred in her memory was now only a few meters away from her. The tears at the corners of Jiang Xi's eyes finally fell to the ground with a plop.
Her eyes were red, and she murmured with trembling lips: "...Hu Ling? Is it really you?"
The girl opposite had a pale face, thin face, sunken eye sockets and bulging eyeballs. She was wearing a tattered school uniform, with her hands placed neatly in front of her. The marks on her neck under the collar were faintly visible, and she looked like a terrifying ghost.
But Jiang Xi didn't feel any fear at all at this moment.
How could she be afraid?
How could she be afraid?
The girl in front of her was her best friend, her only companion in high school.
Even though she has turned into a ghost, the other person's scary face is still the most beautiful image of a girl in that summer in Jiang Xi's eyes.
Hu Ling was also very emotional, but she couldn't cry. She was not a human being and could no longer shed tears.
But the sadness revealed in those eyes was no less than that of Jiang Xi.
"Xixi...you shouldn't have come."
She smiled sadly and shook her head, lowering her eyes, the arc of her mouth raised bitterly and weakly, "You should forget about me..."
