Chapter 107
When Codename Hope went out in the middle of the night, they all discovered him, but no one tried to stop him because no one wanted to bring bad luck to him.
"He seemed to be heading towards the hotel." Qiu Shurong said in a low voice.
Cheng Yiyi and Shi Xingxiang did not answer.
This Shen Wei did bring them considerable psychological pressure.
A person who completely disregards the consequences, a person who can do such a ruthless thing, is completely different from the previous Shen Wei, making people wonder whether they are the same person.
"Could it be that he's not Chen Wei at all?" Qiu Shurong added cautiously. "Look, Chen Wei suddenly came back, but his hair turned silver. Even if his hair turned white overnight, it wouldn't grow long, and his eyes wouldn't change color, right?"
"You mean to say that this person is not Chen Wei? But someone disguised as Chen Wei?" Shi Xingxiang frowned.
Qiu Shurong nodded. "You saw it too. During the day, he really didn't care whether I died in the temple or not."
"That's what you deserve." Cheng Yiyi glanced at him. "You were just making a scene for no reason. He had warned you before that you were too loud, but you thought he was a police officer and completely ignored him, thinking that police officers would tolerate you. So, you're stunned after getting beaten up."
Qiu Shurong's face turned pale and blue, which was really ugly. He lowered his head in anger and said, "This has nothing to do with what we are talking about!"
"He went out so late at night and went to a hotel. That's really suspicious." Shi Xingxiang said, "We can observe."
Cheng Yiyi sighed, "Is there something wrong with your brain? If he really was a ghost, how could Qiu Shurong survive? The ghost in the playground wanted to kill us, but he went to such lengths and still hasn't killed Qiu Shurong. Isn't this deliberately exposing his identity?"
No one spoke anymore.
"Okay, get some rest now. We'll continue looking for a matchmaker tomorrow. He can come back whenever he wants."
Although she said this, Cheng Yiyi actually hoped that Shen Yunzhe would not come back.
He was too strange and too dangerous. It was creepy to see him throwing Qiu Shurong into the real temple with an innocent expression and a pitiful tone.
People are afraid of people who have bad characters written on their faces, but they are even more afraid of people who look kind and gentle but are actually bad people.
Unfortunately, things went against his wishes. Early the next morning, when Cheng Yiyi opened his eyes, he saw Code Name Xiwang squatting in front of him.
Cheng Yiyi was so frightened that she almost fell off the chair, face down.
"Chen Wei?!" Cheng Yiyi quickly held onto the armrest of the chair, "You're back? Where did you go last night?"
Codename Hope looked into his eyes for three seconds before he took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to him, "Here you go."
"What?"
"Suicide note." Codename Hope's voice was calm and gentle, giving people a strong sense of reassurance. "Didn't you say there was a suicide note in the hotel? I accidentally lost it and went looking for it last night. I finally found it. Take a look and see if it's this one."
Cheng Yiyi looked at the code name Hope, and after a moment he blinked and looked at the paper in his hand.
It was indeed the suicide note from the village chief that he had seen.
Shen Wei actually went back to the hotel to get the suicide note? !
Cheng Yiyi went to wake up the other two people. In fact, they had woken up a long time ago, but they didn't dare to talk to Shen Wei and pretended to be still asleep. After being called by Cheng Yiyi, they reluctantly opened their eyes. They took turns reading the suicide note handed to them by Cheng Yiyi, and then immediately teamed up to leave, saying that they would continue to look for Widow Zhang's house.
In the end, Cheng Yiyi had no choice but to team up with Shen Wei.
The playground is too dangerous, so it’s best not to go alone.
The house was covered in dust. Cheng Yiyi coughed and brushed the dirt off her face, then sighed heavily.
"It's already the fourth day, and I still don't know where the media is, or what to do with it."
Codename Hope followed behind him, looking distracted, "Hmm."
"But speaking of which, the True God hasn't done anything since yesterday afternoon, even though three people died in the past two days." Cheng Yiyi murmured, "Instead, he's been quiet these past two days, and the smell of the incense is getting stronger."
"It doesn't have the heart to deal with you right now." Codename Hope said.
Cheng Yiyi stopped what he was doing and turned to look at Codename Hope. "Shen Yunzhe, why do I feel like you know something we don't?"
When Codename Hope heard the name Shen Yunzhe, his eyes subconsciously lit up. He even turned back to look for him, and then he remembered that he was now using the identity of Shen Yunzhe, and the real Shen Yunzhe could not be here at all, so Codename Hope was a little unhappy.
Sensing the subtle change in Code Name Hope's mood, Cheng Yiyi unnoticeably moved closer to the window so that she could quickly jump out and escape.
"Will you miss him?" Code Name Hope didn't care about Cheng Yiyi's little movements and just stared into his eyes.
Cheng Yiyi was puzzled. "What?"
"Shen Yunzhe, do you miss him?" Codename Hope's voice was a little aggrieved. "I miss him."
Cheng Yiyi's head suddenly buzzed as if it had exploded.
He opened his eyes wide, his eyes becoming filled with horror.
He's not Shen Yunzhe? He admitted it! He's really not Shen Yunzhe!
"Playing his role isn't fun at all." Codename Hope walked over, his hand pressed against the window, his silver eyes reflecting Cheng Yiyi's face, slightly twisted with fear. "I promised him I'd play his role well, because he still has a lot of things to do. He asked me to do that, but I miss him so much. He's right next to me, but I can't see him."
"It's so painful, so sad, so heartbreaking."
Code Name Hope's eyes were red, and she looked really aggrieved and sad, as if she was about to cry.
Under normal circumstances, the people watching around would probably feel distressed.
But this is not an ordinary situation at all!
Cheng Yiyi stepped back tremblingly, her voice unsteady, "You, who the hell are you?!"
"Me?" Codename Hope said, "Actually, I am him. He and I are one person, so I can stand here in his place."
"Are you scared?"
"Where's Chen Wei? How is he? Where is he now?"
"Of course it's in the hotel. Why do you think the strange creature didn't attack you?" Codename said, hoping to pull him over. "Honestly, searching the house and looking for a medium is too slow. We can just throw one of you in front of the strange creature with the suicide note and we'll get a clue."
Codename Hope grabbed his neck and said, "I'm tired of searching. How about we use the simplest method?"
"I'll be responsible for throwing one of them over, and you guys are responsible for surviving."
Dangerous, very dangerous!
Cheng Yiyi coughed and said, "No, Shen Yunzhe, he...he won't let you do this."
"But why do you think I'm here?" Codename Hope pinched his neck and said, "Shen Yunzhe needs someone to complete the mission, someone who won't disrupt his plans. He doesn't think the three of you can complete the mission, so he asked me to come."
"Do you understand? Shen Yunzhe doesn't even think highly of you."
At that moment, in such a terrible situation, Cheng Yiyi inexplicably felt that... the person in front of her seemed to be jealous?
Shen Yunzhe? Look at him with a higher regard?
ah?
At this moment, Qiu Shurong's voice came from outside. He called softly at the door: "Chen Wei? Cheng Yiyi? Are you here?"
"We seem to have found Widow Zhang's home."
"Chen Wei?"
Cheng Yiyi raised her head and looked at the code name Xiwang for three seconds. The code name Xiwang withdrew, so Cheng Yiyi knelt on the ground coughing. The sound quickly attracted Qiu Shurong's attention. He came over cautiously, but just poked his head to look here and did not dare to come in.
"Are you okay?" Codename Hope asked Cheng Yiyi.
Why did she ask him how he was after pinching him in such a pitiful tone?!
This person is so scary!
"It's too dusty, please come out quickly." Qiu Shurong heard Cheng Yiyi coughing, "Shi Xingxiang and I will be waiting for you outside."
Codename Xiwang raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and he looked at Cheng Yiyi with innocent and pitiful eyes.
"You're lucky to be alive."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Cheng Yiyi took a long time to suppress his cough. He hammered the windowsill with a blank look of "extremely unlucky" on his face.
Damn, how could this happen!
If he could go back alive, he would definitely abuse his power for personal gain and mobilize his fans to find Shen Yunzhe to see what kind of lunatic he is to entrust such an important task as completing the mission to another lunatic!
Pulling the collar all the way up, even though there were no pinch marks on his neck, he just felt safer this way.
When he went out, he saw that Codename Xiwang had found a place to sit and looked very quiet. Shi Xingxiang and Qiu Shurong gave him a blaming look, as if blaming him for coming out so slowly.
Cheng Yiyi thought: You are lucky that you didn’t experience what he experienced!
"Okay, everyone is here. Widow Zhang's house is this way." Shi Xingxiang walked forward and the people behind him followed. Codename Xiwang walked on the gravel road with his head down, stepping on the pebbles as he walked, like a child who had found a toy.
Widow Zhang's house was not in much better condition. It was a complete mess, with even the bed turned over. It was obvious that many people had searched it many times.
"What confirms that these are all from Widow Zhang is this diary." Shi Xingxiang took out a diary and placed it on the table. "This is her 11-year-old son's diary. The teacher probably asked students to write diaries, so he wrote a lot. I looked at it for a while before I confirmed it."
Shi Xingxiang handed the diary to Cheng Yiyi. When Cheng Yiyi took it, she subconsciously glanced at Code Name Hope. After making sure that Code Name Hope was not interested, she opened the diary and read it.
The handwriting here is obviously that of a child. The characters are not pretty, but they are quite neat.
Today, my classmates at school told me I didn't have a father. I was so upset that I went to ask my mom. She started swearing at me for a long time, and no one dared to go out and see me. Oh, I'm going to be laughed at by my classmates again tomorrow.
My mom brought back a stone statue from somewhere and said it was a Bodhisattva. But I've seen Bodhisattvas before, and they don't look like this.
I told my mother that the statue could talk, but she beat me and said I was lying.
[The statue can really talk. It said it would fulfill its mother's wish. I wanted to be friends with it, but it said I like to lie, so it wouldn't be friends with me. But I've never lied, so why would it say I like to lie?]
The statue fulfilled the mother's wish, and the mother hid the statue.
Many people came to me, and many children asked me where the statue was. I knew they were all called by their parents to ask me, but I didn't know because my mother had never told me.
Mom was arguing with someone. She said the statue was hers, but the village chief said it belonged to everyone. They smashed our house to find the statue, and Mom kept cursing at them, saying they would never find it.
The statue is a bad statue. I hate it. Because of it, I have no home. Everyone is quarreling and fighting. I have no friends in class. The teacher and the other children have all had their tongues cut out for lying.
【I'm going to throw the statue into the river! 】
My mother didn't come back. I cried and asked everyone where she had gone, but no one answered me. They just looked at me with scary eyes.
I ran to the river and asked the stone statue how to get my mother back. The statue told me that as long as I sent it to the real temple, my mother would come back. I knew it was lying to me, as it had to many people. My mother was deceived, the children were deceived, and everyone was deceived.
They said I lied, but I didn't lie. I didn't.
The diary came to an abrupt end, but after turning a few pages, lines of childish handwriting reappeared on the diary, but the content above was infuriating.
[I confess, I lied, I shouldn't have lied, the real town doesn't allow lying, I should be punished for lying.]
[I repent, I will forever be a believer in the true God, and I will turn into a stone statue for lying.]
I repent...
"The earliest real image is in the river." Qiu Shurong said: "It should be in the river. There is only one river in the real town. If we look carefully, we will definitely find it."
"Then place the real statue in the temple for another seven days, and then we can leave!"
Codename Xiwang sat at the table, looking at the excited Qiu Shurong and Shi Xingxiang.
"I want to tell you something."
The two looked at Codename Hope in confusion.
"Complete the hidden medium mission in the playground, and you can leave. But at the same time, the playground will use you as a medium to enter reality." Codename Hope looked at them with interest. "Do you know about this? What do you think?"
Qiu Shurong rolled his eyes and said, "Well, almost everyone who has come this far knows about this matter."
"But we can't die here just because of this problem, right? That would be throwing the baby out with the bathwater."
Shi Xingxiang thought for a moment, then asked Codename Hope, "Did it appear at my house?"
"random."
Shi Xingxiang couldn't help showing regret on his face, "I thought I could catch all the bastards in that village in one fell swoop, what a pity."
These two people obviously didn't take this seriously. They quickly ran to find a mediator, and in the end, only Code Name Hope and Cheng Yiyi were left there.
Codename Hope looked at Cheng Yiyi with a smile, "What about you?"
"This question is meaningless." Cheng Yiyi shook her head. "If you want to live, you must leave the playground. This is a constant truth. Even if the playground enters reality, it shouldn't be my fault. I just want to survive."
"Have you ever thought of a way to leave the playground without letting it enter reality?" Codename Hope asked him.
Cheng Yiyi was obviously stunned, "What?"
"That's right. We can complete the mission and destroy this place at the same time." Codename Hope jumped down from the table. "Shen Yunzhe has been patiently not showing up and hasn't launched a large-scale attack. It's all because of you being here. He wants you to leave the playground. It's really a waste of time."
"I could have gotten rid of you both."
Cheng Yiyi sensed the meaning behind Codename Hope's words, "Can Shen Yunzhe take care of this playground?"
"If you have an active mind, you can do it too. As long as you let go of your fear, you'll find that the playground isn't that scary after all." Codename hoped to walk out. "Okay, okay, if I get rid of you now, Shen Yunzhe will be angry, and when he's angry, he'll bully me."
"Humph, I won't let him bully me."
Codename Hope muttered, "Then quickly find a medium and let Shen Yunzhe complete the task."
As he spoke, he began to hum a song, just a tune over and over again, without any lyrics or continuation.
Cheng Yiyi looked at Code Hope blankly as he ran away happily. His mind was full of question marks, and in the end he could only bury the questions in his heart.
I don't know what Shen Yunzhe is doing, but please come back! Help!
He simply couldn't handle this person's whims! What if he got upset and actually killed them all?!
