Chapter 77 Already Dead
An excited voice came from the phone, and Shen Zhiyi knew that this matter was no longer something she could control.
It won't be long before this place is occupied by police.
Although Fan Xiaoqing was worried about the safety of his teammates, he didn't want Shen Zhiyi to take risks, so he obeyed Lu Cheng's arrangements.
The three of them returned from the main road and headed towards the tourist area.
There is a sightseeing bus in the tourist area, and it took less than half an hour to go down the mountain.
When they arrived at the entrance of the scenic area, Lu Cheng gave them a lecture and then let them go.
Then he discussed the rescue plan with his teammates who had arrived.
Fan Xiaoqing went to the bathroom to wash off the bridal makeup on her face, and when she came out she saw Shen Zhiyi sitting in the pavilion looking at her phone.
"What are you looking at?"
“Hotel rates.”
"Um?"
Fan Xiaoqing was surprised: "You want to live here?"
She saw the name of the hotel, which was none other than the hotel on the top of the mountain in the tourist area.
“The scenic area will open in half an hour, and we will stay in the mountains for one night.” Shen Zhiyi said.
Fan Xiaoqing didn't understand: "But didn't Captain Lu ask us to go back? If he knew..."
"We stayed as tourists to see the sights. It had nothing to do with his investigation. They were mainly operating in the restricted area."
"But why are we staying here? Are you really just here to see the scenery?"
Shen Zhiyi's eyes were deep, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said softly: "Shoot some video materials. The fans are very dissatisfied with not broadcasting live these few days."
"Oh, so that's how it is. Do you want to do a live broadcast?"
Shen Zhiyi is also considering it.
She had previously told Xiao Lanting that she would stay at home during the holiday. If she did a live broadcast, wouldn't it be exposed?
Editing videos is different. After editing, she can find another time to send it out.
"Well... let's talk about it later." she said.
After saying that, she looked at Fan Xiaoqing's face.
She didn't tell Fan Xiaoqing the real reason for her staying, for fear of scaring her.
Recording a video is just an excuse.
In less than half an hour, the visitor area was reopened.
Shen Zhiyi and Fan Xiaoqing took a sightseeing bus directly to the hotel. When they reached a higher point, someone exclaimed and they turned their heads to look.
From a distance, I saw that the wall of the restricted area next door was surrounded by police officers. The situation was not good.
"I heard that one person has been found, but there are still six missing. I don't know where they went."
"Ask the person who found it. Aren't they in the same group?"
"It's hard to say. We only found one of the seven people. Maybe the other six were killed by that person. Aren't there many similar cases?"
The person involved, Fan Xiaoqing: “???”
Her cheeks puffed up with anger, but she tried hard to hold back her temper.
Maybe I was so angry that I fainted, my cheek felt a little painful for some reason.
She couldn't help but raise her hand to rub it, but she rubbed off a layer of unknown leather from her cheek.
Like dried leather.
"Zhiyi, take a look at my face to see if it's injured."
Shen Zhiyi only glanced at her and then turned away, pulling up her collar and saying, “It’s okay, just have a good rest when we get to the hotel.”
Her eyes were as calm as water, which made Fan Xiaoqing feel much more at ease.
However, she didn’t know that the moment she turned her face away, Shen Zhiyi’s eyes darkened.
After completing the check-in procedures, Shen Zhiyi asked Fan Xiaoqing to rest in bed for a while.
Seeing that it was getting late, Fan Xiaoqing touched her stomach and said in surprise, "Why don't I feel hungry? It's strange. It's time to eat at this time. I haven't eaten anything since I disappeared."
Shen Zhiyi pulled the quilt over her and said, “Call for room service when you’re hungry. This restaurant has food available 24 hours a day.”
Her words reassured Fan Xiaoqing, "Thanks to you, Bao'er. If it weren't for you, I would have been a corpse long ago."
Shen Zhiyi's eyes were dark and unclear, staring at her face, and said: "Call me if you have anything, don't go out, and don't let anyone in."
"Why?"
Shen Zhiyi said: "I'm doing this for your own good."
Fan Xiaoqing was confused after hearing this.
"Lie down for a while."
After Shen Zhiyi finished speaking, he walked to the chair at the end of the bed and sat down, as if to watch over her while she slept.
At this time, her father Shen Anxing called and asked about her situation.
She went to the balcony to report that she was safe.
My father breathed a sigh of relief, but said, "I don't know what's wrong with your brother. His voice on the phone was very weak. I'm very worried about him, but he won't let me see him. Give him a call when you have time."
"Well, I'll call now."
Shen Zhixian has been acting strangely these past few days. He hasn't been to the company and is very busy.
What are you busy with?
The phone was about to be automatically hung up when it was connected. Then there was a heavy breathing sound, accompanied by a hoarse male voice: "Girl, you are not at home, right?"
The sound was like the yang energy had been sucked out.
Shen Zhiyi skipped the usual joking part and said to him directly: "Xiaoqing and I went out to play, and something happened. I can't solve it myself, so you come and pick me up."
"What's wrong with you!"
Shen Zhixian's voice finally gained some strength. There was a rustling sound coming from the other end, as if someone was getting up.
After a while, he said, "It's not convenient for me to go out now. Where are you? I'll ask someone to pick you up."
"Luochuan City Bailingshan Hotel."
As soon as the words fell, there was a long silence on the other end.
"Any problem?" she asked.
Shen Zhixian asked, "What's wrong with you? Can you go down the mountain and go home by yourself?"
Shen Zhiyi asked back: “Do you mean you won’t come to pick us up?”
She said directly: "Xiaoqing is not feeling well. I have menstrual cramps and it is not convenient for me to move around."
Shen Zhixian let out a long sigh and said, "Tell me the room number."
Finally took the bait.
Shen Zhiyi obediently told him the room number and then hung up the phone.
She now had a strong intuition—Shen Zhixian was entangled by something dirty.
We must bring him in to see what is going on.
"ah--"
There was a scream in the room, Shen Zhiyi was not surprised, he just sighed.
She quickly walked into the bathroom, helped Fan Xiaoqing, who was squatting on the ground crying, up, hugged her and comforted her: "Don't worry, I will save you."
Fan Xiaoqing trembled and cried, looking at herself in the mirror, her skin peeling off in pieces, and cried out in a hoarse voice: "I'm dead, I'm dead, right?!"
Her skin was lifeless, and the skin on her face would fall off if rubbed. The pain was gradually disappearing, and her eye circles were sunken, as if her bones would be exposed in the next second.
"Zhiyi, tell me quickly, what is going on!"
Shen Zhiyi said, "Your current situation is very special. You are on the verge of death. Only by returning to the coffin can you regain your normal appearance. Otherwise, you will slowly disappear and turn into a skeleton. But if you return to the coffin, you will completely lose the chance of returning to the world of the living and be taken to the underworld to be married. You can still speak now because I temporarily used the power of the talisman to recall your consciousness, but as long as you are more than a certain distance away from her, my magic will be useless."
