Liwan Cemetery (I)
When Chen Mengze received a call from Shanzha and saw the caller ID, his eyelids twitched.
It’s not that he hates Hawthorn, on the contrary he admires the kid very much, but under normal circumstances the kid won’t call them.
After the dream of death was over, You Yi pulled him into the group. He basically talked about everything in the group. Once he called, it was probably that something had happened.
"hawthorn?"
"Brother Xiaoze, I want to ask you for help with something." Shanzha never likes to beat around the bush, and this time is no exception.
"What's the matter?" Chen Mengze asked.
"I want to go to City A," said Shanzha, "to take care of some things."
Although he has extraordinary abilities, these abilities are sometimes useless, and his age itself limits some of his actions.
City A is not close to Xiaoqinghe Village. For a child of Shanzha's age, it is basically impossible to get there without telling the adults.
This matter was not a problem at all for Shen Mengze, whether he sent someone or went there in person.
"I know you want to ask me the reason." Shanzha said, "But... it's hard to explain it right away, and I want to ask you, have you seen Sister Heguang these two days?"
Could it be that this matter is related to Kazuko?
Shen Mengze's heart skipped a beat. He hadn't seen He Guang for a week, let alone two days.
After the dream of death was over, they all felt that it was over and there was no need to make He Guang worry anymore, so they didn't tell her.
Similarly, Chen Mengze was afraid that she would ask him about his injured hand, so he avoided meeting her intentionally or unintentionally.
He Guang used to be very enthusiastic about exercising with them, or rather, he would unilaterally push them to the ground. But in the past week, he suddenly became a homebody, saying that he was catching up on homework and needed to swim in the ocean of knowledge, and could not go out with them.
Originally, Chen Mengze didn't think there was anything wrong, but now that Shanzha asked this, he also felt that it was a bit abnormal, "Did He Guang get into trouble?"
"What I have to deal with seems to have nothing to do with her at the moment," said Hawthorn.
"It's just that I called her first, and no one answered for two days, so I was a little worried."
Chen Mengze said, "Well...I'll go to her house and take a look. I'll send someone to pick you up whenever you want to come. I'll talk to the boss lady."
He arranged it very conveniently without asking any further questions.
"The sooner the better." Hawthorn said, "Thank you."
After Shen Mengze hung up the phone, he immediately called He Guang, but no one answered. He got up and walked out the door, asking the driver to take him to He Guang's house.
He Guang's home is a small detached villa, a little far from the city center. The nearest neighbor is more than ten meters away, and that family seems to be abroad all year round.
Normally, I didn't think it was a big deal when I came with other people to play with Guang, but now that I was walking alone along the gravel path in the middle of the lawn, it felt a bit deserted.
When she arrived at He Guang's door, it was locked. Shen Mengze called her again, but still no one answered.
This is an expected result, but if I don't confirm it myself, I'll always feel a little unpredictable.
There was a bench for people to rest a few meters away from the villa. Shen Mengze walked over and sat on it for a while before he suddenly realized that although they had been having a great time with He Guang day and night, their understanding of her was only based on the part she showed them.
Where was she from, where was her family, or how to contact them? He didn't know anything.
If you think about it carefully, He Guang himself is a person full of mysteries, but each of them has secrets, and no one will pry too much into them.
Chen Mengze waited patiently from noon to dark. When he was sure that He Guang would not come back, he called Mo Liuying and asked her if she knew where He Guang was.
The other party also knew nothing and just asked him to come out for a meeting. Chen Mengze asked her to go directly to his house.

When Chen Mengze returned, Mo Liuying was already waiting at home. His elders rarely came back, so he usually lived with the nanny and bodyguards.
Seeing him coming back, Mo Liuying said softly, "You look very bad, don't worry so much, He Guang is not someone who will get into trouble easily. Maybe she is just dealing with something that she can't tell us."
Her tone was calm, "Everyone has their own secrets, and Kazuhiko is no exception. I'm sure you understand that."
Chen Mengze hesitated to speak. He had some guesses and ideas that he couldn't tell Mo Liuying yet, and he didn't know where to start.
Besides, if Mo Liuying was really as relaxed as she appeared, she wouldn't have run to his house as soon as she received the call.
"Should we ask You Yi?" Chen Mengze said thoughtfully.
Mo Liuying smiled and said, "If He Guang really had something wrong, he wouldn't tell us. Didn't you and You Yi keep it a secret from her last time?"
Having said that, Chen Mengze couldn't help but defend himself, "It wasn't because I was afraid that she would worry. Besides, she likes to be at the forefront of everything. She has a strong desire to protect us or those who care about her. If she knew, she would definitely go in."
"How do you know she didn't go in?" Mo Liuying said.
Shen Mengze looked at her in surprise, unable to react for a moment.
"She was able to cooperate with Shanzha without telling you in Xiaoqinghe Village, so why won't she do that in the future? That child seems to trust Heguang the most." Although Mo Liuying had never seen Shanzha, she could clearly see the subtlety after listening to their stories.
Why was He Guang able to gain the trust of such a gifted child? In terms of personality, the most reliable one was Shen Mengze.
After she said that, Chen Mengze also felt that Shanzha's first reaction would be to look for He Guang first, and then him and You Yi T.
This time, too, he was busy and didn't find He Guang until he discovered the abnormality. Thinking of this, he felt that he was not qualified as a friend.
"Don't let your imagination run wild." Mo Liuying said, "When Shanzha comes, I think he will bring us some clues. When will he arrive?"
"Tonight, probably in the late night." Chen Mengze said.
Mo Liuying nodded, "He didn't say why he came, and you didn't ask?"
Chen Mengze shook his head, "I think he will tell me after we meet. It's not that he didn't want to tell me on the phone, but it was a situation that would be troublesome to talk about, and he was not sure."
Mo Liuying nodded slightly and did not comment on this matter.
Chen Mengze hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "Did you see anything about He Guang in your dream?"
If you think about it carefully, if Shanzha called him at that time, would he have called He Guang beforehand? Moreover, the dream collapsed very suddenly and strangely. Shanzha's reaction at that time seemed to be unprepared, but not very surprised.
If He Guang also went into the dream, what did she do? Could it be that she was just making an excuse when she said she had to make up for her homework these days?
Mo Liuying shook her head. "I'm just guessing. I just think that you guys are capable of doing something so dangerous without telling each other."
She stood up and walked to the window, "What's wrong?"
Shen Mengze was speechless.

In the second half of the night, Shanzha arrived. He looked very sleepy, and he should have gone to bed at this time. Chen Mengze said that the room had been prepared for him, and he could go and rest first.
Shanzha shook his head, "Where's Sister Heguang?"
Shen Mengze said, “I went to her house today, but I didn’t find her.”
Shanzha was not surprised by this result. He sat on the sofa and exhaled softly, "As expected."
"Do you know what she went to do?" Mo Liuying asked from the side.
She didn't go home that night, but no one seemed to interfere with her.
Hawthorn shook his head, "I don't know, but her disappearance makes me think it might be related to the matter I'm dealing with."
He didn't wait for the two people in the room to ask questions, and directly asked, "Do you know Liwan Home?"
Chen Mengze and Mo Liuying looked at each other. Both of them were familiar with the supernatural legends and famous haunted places in City A.
Liwan Home is a residential area that has been abandoned for many years and once topped the list of supernatural places in City A.
Its background is also very bizarre. In the year when the developer built the community, eight pitch-black coffins were dug out from the ground at the construction site. Later, it was heard that the construction site was haunted and people had died. It is impossible to verify the information because the time is too long, but the news of the coffins being dug out can be confirmed to be true.
The community was peaceful for two years after it was built, but later people discovered that the suicide rate in this community was a bit high, with someone committing suicide almost every year, and all of them committed suicide by jumping off buildings.
Some of the people who were rescued said that they always heard someone calling them, and what they saw was not the rooftop but a dark tunnel.
In the end, almost every household at that time had to hang something like amulets. However, it is said that no matter what famous temple or Taoist temple you got the amulets or Buddhist beads from, they would turn black after a while.
It is said that some people worshipped statues of gods at home, and the statues broke into pieces over time.
These things are too weird, and the curse that people jump off buildings every year is too scary. In recent years, this community has been completely abandoned.
After being abandoned, it topped the list of supernatural places in City A for several years in a row. Its popularity has only declined in the past two years, but it has also attracted many ghost explorers to explore.
They have proven through practice that the rumors about Liwan Community are simply a rumor, but the fact that people jump off buildings every year still cannot be explained.
Some people say it is a suicide effect, others say that the people who die every year are actually filling those eight coffins, which have been filled over the years.
Later, the community was replaced by other popular supernatural legends, but judging from its past achievements, it is indeed an evil place.
Shen Mo and the others had studied this matter for their own reasons. It was impossible for them not to know about Liwan Homeland, a famous spiritual place.
But did Shanzha come all the way here just for Liwan Home?
If there really is a problem there, with people working this hard, the funeral industry would be booming by now, right?
Chen Mengze and Mo Liuying looked at each other in confusion. At this moment, Chen Mengze suddenly thought of something, and his expression became gloomy. "Liwan Community is indeed not far from Heguang's home. Will it be..."
He Guang is definitely not the kind of person who would seek death. Moreover, they have been through so much together, she should avoid such things as much as possible.
Chen Mengze thought, he looked up and looked at Mo Liuying. Mo Liuying also nodded slowly as if she had thought of something.
Unless she had to get involved.
For example, is it related to that ghost catcher?
