Ye Ling's fingertips ran across the rough edge of the envelope, and the ominous premonition in her heart became stronger.
She opened the envelope and pulled out the note inside. It contained only a cold warning, like a poisoned dagger piercing her heart: "Be careful, the storm is coming."
The handwriting is illegible, as if the person who wrote it was in a state of anxiety.
There is no signature or attribution, it's like a ghost's whisper, sending chills down one's spine.
Ye Ling felt like a child who had been teased by a prank and had been splashed with a basin of cold water.
The heart that was just warm was instantly covered with a layer of ice.
"What the hell is this?" she muttered softly, her brows twisted into a knot.
Duan Yu also came over to take a look, his deep gaze sweeping over every word on the note, and a barely perceptible solemnity flashed in his eyes.
The air in the room seemed to be sucked out in an instant, leaving only oppressive silence that made it hard to breathe.
Ye Ling rubbed her arms nervously, and it felt like touching ice.
She felt like she was stuck in a quagmire, and every step was extremely difficult.
The original joy was gone, replaced by endless doubts and vague uneasiness.
Where does this warning come from?
Who wanted to pour a bucket of cold water on her when she was full of energy and vigor?
"Is someone messing with me?" She couldn't help but complain, trying to use jokes to ease the tension in her heart, but found that the effect was minimal.
She looked around. They were the only two people in the empty room. The sunlight shining through the window made it seem particularly desolate.
She felt as if countless pairs of eyes were watching her in secret, and she was like a specimen under a magnifying glass, with nowhere to hide.
Ye Ling forced herself to calm down. She was not the kind of person who would be frightened!
But, this feeling of being stared at is so fucking unpleasant!
It feels like I have eyes on my back, and I feel uncomfortable all over!
She tried to recall who she had offended recently, but her mind came up blank.
She took a deep breath and clenched the note tightly in her hand.
The person who issued the warning must be hiding in the dark, like a lurking poisonous snake, ready to give her a fatal blow at any time.
This unknown threat made her feel more helpless than ever before.
She felt as if she didn't fit in with the world, like an excluded alien.
Everything around her made her feel strange and depressing, and a huge sense of loneliness surged in her heart.
She tried to grab onto something, but found herself in a fog, not knowing where to go.
"Investigate!" Duan Yu's voice was low and firm, like a thunderclap, which shocked Ye Ling back to her senses.
He turned around, with his back to Ye Ling, and stared into the distance with deep eyes, with a barely perceptible worry in his tone: "Start with this letter." Ye Ling clenched the note tightly in her palm, her fingers turning slightly white from the force.
Her heart was beating like a drum, and every beat reminded her that this was an unavoidable reality.
She raised her head,
"Check!" She repeated Duan Yu's words firmly, with a barely perceptible tremor in her voice.
She knew that this was not only for herself, but also for all those who cared about her.
Duan Yu nodded, turned and walked to the window. The sunlight shone through the gaps in the curtains onto his profile, outlining a resolute outline.
He whispered, "Starting from this letter, I will help you find clues."
Ye Ling nodded, feeling a warmth in her heart.
She knew that no matter how difficult the road ahead was, she was not fighting alone.
She took a deep breath, temporarily put aside her uneasiness, and began to investigate.
As time went by, Ye Ling gradually discovered that the threat in this letter was not directed at her alone.
Her friends also began to be implicated, some received anonymous threats, and some were stalked.
Whenever she heard the news, she would feel deeply guilty.
"I'm sorry for getting you all involved," she whispered, a hint of sob in her voice.
Duan Yu looked at her,
"This is not your fault. We are friends and should face difficulties together." He said firmly, holding Ye Ling's hand and giving her strength.
Ye Ling took a deep breath. She realized that investigating alone would not solve the problem.
She decided to make the contents of the letter public to seek more help.
She quickly posted a photo of the letter on her social media, with a short message: "I received this letter and I need your help!"
After the news was released, it quickly attracted widespread attention.
The comment section was instantly flooded with comments, some questioned her, some supported her, and more people expressed their willingness to help her.
Ye Ling's phone rang almost non-stop, with messages and clues coming in from all over.
"Ye Ling, aren't you exposing yourself?" Duan Yu said with some concern.
"I know, but this is the only way to find the answer." Ye Ling said firmly,
As the news spread, more and more people joined the investigation.
Hope rekindled in Ye Ling's heart
At this moment, a text message from an unfamiliar number suddenly appeared on her mobile phone: "Be careful, someone is watching you from behind." Ye Ling frowned involuntarily, and she quickly handed the phone to Duan Yu.
"It seems that this game has just begun." Duan Yu said in a low voice. Ye Ling took a deep breath, nodded, and prepared to face the next challenge.
Ye Ling looked at the messages that kept popping up on the phone screen, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and a sly smile bloomed on her face.
