Daytime Horror
After hearing this, Fu Cha Qingyun could only raise her head to look at the person in front of her because of her poor figure.
The young face was slightly tense, with an expression of subtle doubt.
"What do you mean it's gone?"
"I just can't find him anywhere in the villa. Isn't this your territory? Have you noticed anything strange from last night until now? He disappeared from the room out of thin air!"
The assistant director scratched his head. He was anxious and his speech was a little incoherent, but he finally explained the established facts.
Fu Cha Qingyun felt strange. Indeed, since this villa was their residence, it had some connection with them.
The ghost's consciousness can spread throughout the entire building. With a little concentration, he can know where those humans are.
As for his cousin, with whom he had quarreled yesterday, he was even more familiar with his aura.
Only now...
Fu Cha Qingyun used her spiritual sense to investigate and found that she could indeed no longer detect that person's existence.
Only a very faint, residual breath remains.
Due to the restrictions set by the sorcerers of the Double Authority, he, as a ghost, cannot leave the villa.
Naturally, the spiritual consciousness had no way of exploring outside, but at least it was certain that the so-called cousin was no longer in the villa.
Although ghosts like them are not allowed to travel freely in the villa area, it is not a good thing for living people to disappear here.
After all, this area was built by the joint efforts of the human and ghost worlds, so it is always different from the real human world.
If a living person stays there for too long, he or she will most likely be unable to adapt, so even if someone is allowed to come, the time signed on the contract will not exceed half a month.
If you want to rent for a long time, you also need to go back to the human world first and then come back again.
Moreover, since the buffer zone was established, everything has been relatively calm, and various industries have developed steadily and orderly. Such a thing has never happened.
Fu Cha Qingyun's expression became serious. Although he had lived for so many years, his mind was still like a child's, not as at ease as an adult.
"Don't worry, have you asked everyone here?"
"We've searched everywhere. If a person this big and alive was still there, we should have found him long ago."
The assistant director continued to question him, and his voice was so loud that Fu Mingqiang showed up later.
After learning the whole story, he remained calm.
"Let's report this to the Administration first and have them send someone to resolve it."
Fu Mingqiang wanted to help, but in fact he could do nothing.
There's no point in being anxious. We have to find the trail first.
Humans and ghosts use different receptionists when contacting the Double Bureau.
Fu Mingqiang made some seemingly simple yet complicated hand gestures with his hands in front of his chest, and wisps of white smoke appeared along his fingertips.
After floating upwards in a spiral shape for a while, it twisted its direction and disappeared outward through the window gap.
As for the assistant director, he also came to his senses. He had met with the human world management personnel of the Double Management Bureau and added their contact information.
But after all, the Dual Management Bureau is still a relatively secretive existence, and he does not communicate with others very often. In most cases, it is the director who mediates between them.
He quickly found the director.
The director frequently communicates with department heads under the dual-management bureau, so his contacts carry much more weight.
After resting last night, the director was watching the video he had shot in a temporarily converted editing room, but he couldn't hold on any longer and fell asleep in the editing room.
After being woken up by the assistant director, I was still in a daze.
The more he listened, the wider his eyes became, and he seemed to be doubting his life.
Why are there so many strange things happening one after another? He doesn't know if it is necessary to continue with this shoot.
Could it be that he is in conflict with Tai Sui this year?
If the person is missing, it would be easy to find him.
What if I can’t find it? How am I going to explain it to his family?
The existence of the Dual Management Bureau is secretive and cannot be publicized in a big way.
What's more, even if he told the truth, without seeing it with his own eyes, people would not only think it was fake news, but they would also most likely think he was mentally ill and might even call the police and have him sent to a mental hospital.
The director was extremely annoyed, and the person standing next to him kept talking, which made him even more upset.
It’s no wonder the assistant director is so anxious, after all, it’s a relative who is missing.
He had no choice but to wave his hand while suppressing his anger, picked up the phone on the table and turned it on: "I know, now I'll ask someone to clarify."
After dialing the contact number of the Double Management Bureau, the director had only spoken a few words when the assistant director, having listened attentively and heard that the other party wanted to know more detailed information, snatched the phone away.
"Hello, leader, this is the case..."
They were talking in a small room and the staff outside could not hear them, but the assistant director asked loudly in the morning, so even if some people were still asleep, the news had already spread.
Everyone gathered in groups of three or four and shared their doubts and uncertain guesses.
I feel like this is not a safe place.
In addition to contacting the two management bureaus, Fu Mingqiang relied on the villa's own communication system to contact several familiar neighbors nearby.
The result was that they did not see any suspicious humans invading the house, and they had no idea what was happening outside.
However, they will also pay attention and notify immediately if they see any human activity.
Ding Can and others were sitting at the dining table in the living room, with several ghosts next to them.
Compared to others, they seemed to be the least afraid of ghosts. They saw the ghost right next to the table and dared to sit over.
Fu Mingqiang chatted with them without hesitation: "Ms. Shi, the affairs of the Dual Management Bureau are complicated. I don't think it will be easy for anyone to come and handle them in time. I may need your help when the time comes."
He only knew Shi Yan's name, so he chose to talk to her.
Shi Yan glanced sideways: "How can we help?"
"You said they won't be able to arrive in time?" Ding Can focused on this sentence. Someone is missing, which should be a very important matter. How could he not take it seriously?
Fu Mingqiang glanced at her and asked, "What's your name, young lady?"
"My name is Ding Can, you can just call me Xiao Ding."
Fu Mingqiang nodded. "Ms. Ding, when you came here, you only saw our area. You might think the buffer zone isn't huge, but in fact, it extends over a very large area."
The establishment of a buffer zone cannot be understood using ordinary concepts. Strictly speaking, it does not belong to a real geographical location.
Perhaps it would be more appropriate to describe it as a plane.
It has no fixed shape and contains thousands of areas of various sizes, with an intricate level that is unimaginable.
Although the dual-control bureau has gone through years of development, from its inception to today, it has only achieved slight progress compared to normal operation.
This villa area for rental is only a very small part of the entire rental area, not to mention compared with the entire buffer zone.
It will inevitably take a lot of time to notify the higher levels and then send someone over.
Therefore, Fu Mingqiang's worries are not without reason. It's not that the problem cannot be solved. It's just that if we really have to wait for the dual-management bureau to come and solve it, perhaps the golden time for searching will be wasted.
It turns out that ghosts don’t have any special privileges.
Ding Can was thinking that he had entered the so-called diary training camp, which was a space that could not be explained by science. The human world and the ghost world in it should also be considered fabricated.
Is the ghost in front of me really a ghost?
"So that's how it is. I thought you would have some conveniences here." Ding Can said.
Fu Mingqiang shook his head. "For me, it's just a change of place. Although I've gotten rid of some of the shortcomings of being human, I haven't gained many extraordinary skills."
He then answered Shi Yan's question: "You are living people, with no restrictions, and can come and go as you please. The missing person doesn't know the area around him, so he probably couldn't have gone far. He might be thinking of leaving. If we look for him along the road you came from, we might find him."
"You want us to go find it?" Gao Wenwen's eyes widened.
Is this going to open a new map? Does that mean they are one step closer to leaving?
Fu Mingqiang thought he was afraid, so he could only comfort him, "There's nothing we can do about it."
Chen Tang's voice was a bit cold. "Actually, we don't know the layout of the villa area, so we can't provide you with any clues. Maybe the director can come up with a better solution."
The door of the editing room was pushed open at this time, and the director glanced at the people in the living room.
"Everyone must have noticed that someone is missing. I have already reported it to the dual-authority bureau and are arranging for the relevant professionals to come over. They will probably arrive around evening."
Evening? It's only morning now, how could the efficiency be so low?
The assistant director's face was obviously not very good, but he still tried his best to smile.
"They offered a solution, saying we should go look for him in the villa area. Maybe he just walked out and couldn't find his way back."
Sure enough, the development direction was very similar to what Fu Mingqiang had expected.
Now that someone is missing, the crew is in a panic and it is impossible to continue filming as planned. Human lives are at stake, so the director had no choice but to speak.
"We need your help now. Go check the nearby trails."
For a moment, the living room was silent and no one spoke.
"I will definitely go out and look for it, but after all, more people will give me a better chance of finding it earlier."
The assistant director was actually also scared and wanted to find someone to accompany him.
In order to protect themselves, others are not willing to help.
There are at least three ghosts here that I recognize.
If you really leave the villa, who can guarantee that there will be no ghosts wandering outside.
The assistant director was at a loss, and suddenly an idea came to his mind. He searched the crowd again and his eyes fell on Xia Jialian.
"Xiao Xia, why don't you come with me to take a look."
Xia Jialian was holding a deck of cards in his hand and shuffled them a few times out of boredom while waiting.
When he heard his name being called, he slowly raised his head.
"Me?"
"Yes." Thinking that this person was easy to talk to yesterday, he might be willing to go out with him now.
Xia Jialian put the playing cards neatly back into the plastic box.
He stood up very quietly, with the chair making only a small friction sound as it dragged across the floor, without any hesitation.
"Then let's go."
Ding Can glanced over in surprise. This man was usually quite quiet, but whenever faced with decisions that obviously looked risky, he seemed very eager.
Is it because he is not afraid, or is it for some other reason?
Next to him, Gao Wenwen had his hands under the table, tugging at the hem of his coat, his eyes glancing around to signal him not to be so impulsive.
After all, the four of them came from the same place and lived in a strange and unpredictable environment. No matter what they did, they should discuss it before making a decision.
Seeing someone stand up, some people in the living room looked a little relieved, at least the chance of them getting out was reduced.
At this time, more white smoke floated in through the window. It was square in shape and very thin, floating in front of Fu Mingqiang like paper.
