Chapter 107 Outside the Base
Time goes back to an hour ago, inside the Tiannan City Investigation Bureau.
After Jiang Wang finished arguing with Ji Ling, he prepared to go out alone to find Lin Hanning.
Ji Ling stopped Jiang Wang and threw him a black umbrella.
Although Jiang Wang didn't know about the Investigation Bureau, he knew from the special style of the umbrella and Ji Ling's expression that the umbrella should be able to help him walk in the moonlight.
For a moment, Jiang Wang felt a little annoyed. Ever since he came to Tiannan City, he always felt an inexplicable anger in his heart for some reason.
Under the influence of this nameless anger, he felt that Chen Yubing was rejecting her. Although the Chief had saved him, he refused to tell her his own secrets. Even Ji Ling was hiding something from him.
This feeling was very bad. Jiang Wang felt like he was isolated.
But he didn't really want to get angry, it was just that his temper flared up at that moment and he couldn't control it at all.
He was about to call Ji Ling, but saw her walking towards the top floor without looking back.
I might as well just go out.
After Jiang Wang went out, he immediately opened the umbrella given by Ji Ling. As expected, after blocking the moonlight, although the erosion still existed, it would not be directly controlled.
We have to find Lin Hanning quickly.
Jiang Wang first explored the periphery but found no trace of Lin Hanning.
But it was impossible to turn around like a headless fly, so Jiang Wang made some marks along the way.
The longer Jiang Wang stayed outside, the more irritated he became, and he wanted to throw away his umbrella several times.
At the same time, there was a voice that kept bewitching him.
"Look up at the moon."
“The moon is beautiful.”
"The moon will bring you salvation..."
Hearing this faint sound, Jiang Wang couldn't help but look up...
However, due to the relatively closed structure of the umbrella in his hand, Jiang Wang first saw the top of his umbrella.
For some reason, the moment his eyes touched the top of the umbrella, Jiang Wang's mind suddenly became clearer.
Then he discovered some clues.
There seemed to be some pattern drawn on the top of the umbrella with a black marker.
Because the umbrella itself is also black, it is difficult to see, but after the marker dries, it is slightly reflective.
Finding a place with backlight, Jiang Wang rotated the umbrella and studied the pattern carefully.
It was a somewhat familiar pattern. After a while, Jiang Wang suddenly recalled Ji Ling's knife.
The knife was originally in Song Nanxing's hands, but later for some reason, it was always used by Ji Ling, as if it was a gift to her.
The pattern on the umbrella is exactly the same as the pattern on the handle of the knife in Ji Ling's hand.
"It's Ji Ling..."
Jiang Wang murmured, and suddenly felt a little guilty.
At this moment, Jiang Wang suddenly heard another voice.
It was Lin Hanning's voice, and she was calling his name from somewhere.
"Jiang Wang."
At that moment, Jiang Wang was a little surprised and subconsciously wanted to look back.
But he forced himself to hold it back.
Jiang Wang still remembered that one of the rules Fan Buqiu had given him was:
"If you hear someone familiar calling your name in the fog, don't look back, don't answer, and ignore it."
Jiang Wang closed his eyes, resisted the urge to look back, and continued to move forward, but he slowed down a little.
Although Fan Buqiu is obviously untrustworthy, this rule is not necessarily untrustworthy. For example, the rule states that you cannot look at the moonlight, which at least can be proven to be true.
If the person who called him was really Lin Hanning, then since she had spoken, she would definitely catch up with him, so he just needed to slow down.
Although he thought so in his heart, Jiang Wang still felt a little uneasy.
This was scarier than any ruins or haunted house he had ever explored before.
In order to distract himself, Jiang Wang looked up at the top of the umbrella again.
It must be said that the umbrella Ji Ling gave him was indeed very useful. Looking at the faint patterns on the top of the umbrella, his mind actually became much more stable.
The voice called out a few times without success and then disappeared.
The voice that had initially beckoned him to look at the moonlight had become silent at some point.
Maybe Ji Ling really has some secrets, but at this moment he feels that these are not important.
There is no need to say these things between friends.
Just as Jiang Wang was thinking and paying attention to the surrounding environment.
A hand suddenly grabbed him.
Jiang Wang's heart tightened and he subconsciously wanted to attack.
"It's me."
It was Lin Hanning's voice again.
Jiang Wang took a deep breath and turned his head away with some trembling.
Fortunately, the person standing behind him was not some strange monster, but really the chief.
But Jiang Wang was still not sure, so he did not speak at the first time, but just looked at her in silence.
"Why did you come out? Where are Ji Ling and the others?"
"She..." Jiang Wang hesitated when mentioning Ji Ling, and asked another question.
"Chief, you... weren't..."
"You want to ask me why I'm not controlled by the moonlight, right?"
Lin Hanning spoke for him.
Jiang Wang nodded honestly.
"Moonlight has no effect on me." Lin Hanning said indifferently.
"It's just that, just now in that base, Ji Ling suddenly seemed very abnormal. Didn't she want to come out at the beginning?" When she said this, Lin Hanning frowned.
Jiang Wang also thought of how she looked just now, and it seemed that she didn't want to stay in the house for even a second.
"I think Ji Ling's intuition is right. I felt uncomfortable in that house, even more uncomfortable than being outside. That's why I pretended to be controlled by the moonlight and ran out."
"Then why didn't you say so earlier?" Jiang Wang asked puzzledly.
"I told you the result would be the same as Ji Ling's. Not only would you not believe me, you would also try to stop me. So I just pretended to be controlled and ran out first, just to see what was going on outside."
What Lin Hanning said made sense. If she was really immune to moonlight, she would be the most suitable person to come out and investigate the situation.
But these words alone were not enough to prove that she was Lin Hanning, so Jiang Wang still remained cautious.
"Were you the one who called my name just now?" Jiang Wang asked tentatively.
Lin Hanning showed a somewhat puzzled expression.
"Me? No, I just caught up with you when I saw you."
It seems that the voice just now is indeed as stated in the rules and cannot be agreed to.
However, Jiang Wang still had doubts in his heart about whether Lin Hanning in front of him could be trusted.
While hesitating, Lin Hanning suddenly became alert and looked around.
"Do you feel that... the fog seems to have thinned?"
After being reminded by Lin Hanning, Jiang Wang looked around and found that there were indeed fewer people.
And the mist seems to be moving in a certain direction.
Following the direction of the fog, Jiang Wang's eyes widened in vain.
These mists seemed to be moving towards the Investigation Bureau base.
The first person to react was Lin Hanning.
"Let's go back first. Ji Ling and Sister Yu Bing might be in danger!"
