Coming all the way up from the 36th floor, I was almost at the 50th floor, breathless. I really wanted to ask if we could take the elevator, but Zhang Shaoqi had such amazing stamina for a girl; she'd walked for so long without even catching her breath.
His face remained as calm as before, without the slightest ripple.
I was secretly shocked when I saw this. This kind of physical strength is amazing!
I endure it!
Walk up to the 60th floor in one breath and go directly to the top floor platform.
Black clouds slowly gathered from afar, and it seemed that everything turned black.
On this dark Sunday, I was brought to the rooftop platform of this building by Zhang Shaoqi, the girl who was rumored to have jumped from a building. My heart was in turmoil at that time, but soon I was deeply attracted by the strange scene.
The rooftop terrace was currently constructed of concrete, yet deep handprints appeared on the ground just at the edge of the terrace. There were several of them, positioned in random patterns. How much strength was needed to affect the solid, air-dried concrete with just a finger? How could an ordinary person's finger strength be so terrifying?
So, who was it that left these fingerprints? Or, in other words, was it a "human"?
Looking nearby, used paint cans, discarded broken steel bars, and little remaining cement were scattered on the ground in a mess. The cement was scattered all over the ground, as if someone had fought here, and the scene was devastated.
I remember that when I came up yesterday, everything was arranged quite neatly. Even if it was not spotless, at least it was not as messy as it is now.
"The claw marks and scattered ground are the traces of Wang Zhong and Wang Xiaofei fighting with others at that time." Zhang Shaoqi stood in the middle of the platform, looked at me and said.
"How do you know?" I asked in surprise.
Zhang Shaoqi's expression remained calm. She avoided my question and said, "They died that night."
I asked curiously, "That night? You mean last night?"
Zhang Shaoqi nodded.
I was shocked. "Weren't they with us last night? Did they go to the building after we left the cafe?"
Zhang Shaoqi shook his head and said, "They were already dead before we left the building."
My scalp was tingling with fear. Holy shit, were they kidding me? Wang Zhong and Wang Xiaofei were already dead before we left the building? Damn, that's impossible. I actually took them out of the building and gave them coffee to calm their nerves... Then I told them to go home early, and then I left with Zhang Shaoqi... But now, Zhang Shaoqi said they were already dead before we left the building?
Why does it sound so scary?
etc!
Before we left the building? So, that night, while I was investigating on the 32nd floor, I ran into Zhang Shaoqi, as well as Wang Zhong and Wang Xiaofei. Based on what Zhang Shaoqi is saying now, then, Wang Zhong and Wang Xiaofei were already dead when I ran into them? So, the two brothers I saw back then were actually ghosts?
I shuddered. But when I thought about it, it didn't make sense. If they were ghosts, how could I not see them? I'm not blind.
I quickly told Zhang Shaoqi my guess, and she actually nodded and said, "Yes, that night, I brought them down from here, and I met you on the 32nd floor."
My heart broke at that moment.
Wang Zhong and Wang Xiaofei had already died when I ran into them last night, but their ghosts still didn't realize they were dead, chatting and laughing like normal people. What I couldn't understand the most was why I didn't notice it at the time?
"What an idiot! I can't stand it any longer!" Su Xiaoniu suddenly said angrily, "Let me tell you the truth. If a ghost has just died and hasn't even realized he's dead, then his soul will exist in the world of the living in a real physical body. This is called a 'ghost.' Anyone who sees or touches him will see him just like a normal person, no difference. Not to mention you, even powerful onmyojis can't tell. This state can continue indefinitely, unless he realizes he's dead, or someone else tells him he's dead, then he'll completely turn into a ghost."
So that's how it is... It seems that I still don't have enough knowledge in this area. If Su Xiaoniu wasn't so knowledgeable, I'm afraid I would never be able to figure out the answer in my entire life.
Now that Su Xiaoniu said this, I felt like the clouds had cleared and I could see the blue sky, and my mind suddenly became clear.
At that time, after Wang Zhong and Wang Xiaofei were murdered, they hadn't realized they were dead yet, and they appeared in front of me in their physical form... No wonder I didn't notice it!
So the question is, how did Zhang Shaoqi end up on the rooftop that night? I remember she was sitting outside the window on the 32nd floor, looking at the stars and the moon. If Cheng Qian hadn't called me, and I hadn't looked back, she would have disappeared... Could it be that at that moment, she went to the 60th floor and brought down the souls of the murdered Wang Zhong and Wang Xiaofei?
Come to think of it, this is the only possibility. Then, who killed the two Wang brothers?
I asked Zhang Shaoqi, and she said word by word: "Liao Zhiyuan."
I was immediately shocked. Liao Zhiyuan? The one who killed the Wang brothers was actually Liao Zhiyuan?
That's not right. Liao Zhiyuan looks like an ordinary student. He can't even beat Wang Xiaofei, let alone these deep claw marks on the ground. Unless he has practiced the Nine Yin White Bone Claw... Ha, just kidding, you've read too many martial arts novels!
