Chapter 19
late at night.
The stars hang high outside the window, and the whole Yancheng is immersed in silence.
Occasionally, one or two cars would rush past at night, leaving behind the lingering light of their high beams, illuminating the greenery on both sides of the road.
Senhe Community, 32nd floor.
Shu Yuan closed the curtains, turned off the computer, turned around and left the study and walked towards the bedroom.
She was thirty years old and had always lived alone. In the dead of night, even her 100-square-meter house seemed eerily empty. And today, perhaps influenced by the news, she even had a creepy feeling of being in darkness and trembling uncontrollably.
Shu Yuan lowered her eyes, frowned, let out a sigh, and went back to the bedroom to lie down.
It took her nearly half an hour to fall asleep, but she was destined to have a restless night.
She first fell into a drowsy dream, which was filled with scenes of a car accident. She saw two figures in the front row behind the smashed front of the car, their bodies covered in wounds, with blood dripping from their heads, soon soaking the entire seat.
The man in the passenger seat had half of his body hanging on his shoulders, precariously, with a broken car accessory stuck in his throat. He was clearly completely dead, but at some point he suddenly opened his eyes, and those eyes, covered in thick blood, stared at Shu Yuan intently.
Shu Yuan was startled and subconsciously took two steps back.
The man didn't move, but his mouth kept opening and closing, and the blood flowing out seemed to be accompanied by a strange and fragmented sound.
——As if he wanted to say something to her.
Shu Yuan thought about the conversation she had had with the other party. After a few seconds of hesitation, she finally chose to take two steps forward. Enduring the nausea caused by the raging blood, she clung to the edge of the car window and then leaned over slightly.
At this moment, the arm that was originally tightly bound by the seat belt and the equipment in the car suddenly raised up, grabbed Shu Yuan's neck without warning, and forcibly pulled her into the car.
The blood and flesh hanging from the man's arm touched Shu Yuan's face and brushed against her nostrils. The smell of blood and suffocation came at the same time. Her eyes rolled back, but her ten fingers tightly grasped the car window, her toes rested on the car door, and her body kept pulling back.
But her strength was no match for the other party.
The muscles in her arms began to ache after becoming sore, and Shu Yuan's consciousness began to gradually fade away. She opened her mouth in pain, and every breath she exhaled was tinged with the smell of blood. Just when she thought her larynx was going to be broken and she was going to die, an extremely dazzling light suddenly burst out. Before Shu Yuan could react, she heard a tragic and sharp scream from the man's throat.
The shackles around the neck also disappeared completely at this moment.
She suddenly fell to the ground and wanted to look up at the damaged car, but she found that the horrific scene in front of her was gradually fading, just like the dust on the ground being gradually blown away by the wind. In the end, her vision suddenly went black.
Pop.
The bedroom light was turned on, and Shu Yuan suddenly sat up, looking around with eyes full of fear.
"Are you awake?"
At the window, Cheng Puyu was holding a black shadow in his hand. He seemed to feel that the light was too dazzling and squinted his eyes a little uncomfortably.
At the same time, when Shu Yuan looked over, he waved his left hand as if to say hello.
Shu Yuan had just been strangled in her dream and almost couldn't wake up. When she woke up, she saw a black shadow, which scared her so much that she almost screamed.
"you--"
As soon as the last word fell, the doorbell rang out long and long "ding dong", and she was slightly stunned.
Cheng Puyu, who was standing by, reminded him, "It should be Rong Jing and the others who have arrived."
Rongjing? !
In this situation, the name "Rong Jing" was like a shot of adrenaline to Shu Yuan, calming her wildly beating heart.
The door opened, and the young man stood under the voice-activated light at the entrance, the light illuminating his fair and beautiful face. Rong Jing's eyebrows curved slightly, and he looked Shu Yuan up and down, saying with a smile, "It seems Cheng Puyu arrived in time."
Cheng Puyu?
Shu Yuan thought of the figure that appeared in her bedroom and was obviously not human.
She turned around and saw Cheng Puyu floating out.
When he saw Rong Jing, he immediately waved his hand, walked up to the boy, threw the ball of something in his hand to the ground, and began to complain: "That's it! When I arrived, it entered this lady's dream and wanted to kill her."
"This is..." Shu Yuan came back to her senses and opened her mouth, thinking of the scene in her dream.
"Well, a little ghost. To be more precise, it's a little ghost that is controlled by someone." Rong Jing bent down and poked the black shadow that was rolled into a ball. The level of this ghost was not high. It could not even be called an 'evil ghost'. It could only be described as 'little'.
In contrast, it has no special abilities and is more than enough to deal with an ordinary person.
After hearing this, Shu Yuan didn't know what to say for a moment.
Although she had some guesses in her mind when she saw Cheng Puyu, her worldview was still subverted to a certain extent when she heard Rong Jing tell the truth so bluntly.
Shu Yuan took two steps back, putting some distance between herself and the little ghost.
…
The story all started tonight.
After seeing Shu Yuan's updates on WeChat Moments, Rong Jing suddenly thought of the divination he had read for Shu Yuan two days ago - retreat three steps, otherwise disaster will occur.
On a whim, he wanted to see if the disaster had disappeared since Shu Yuan had resigned as the hexagram said. However, he did not expect that the hexagram he calculated was Kan on top and Qian on bottom, with the line word □□. This meant that Shu Yuan was in a very dangerous situation at the moment and could lose her life if she was not careful.
——There is no doubt that it is more dangerous than the divination two days ago.
Rong Jing felt a little strange. Since Shu Yuan had chosen to retreat, why did the hexagram show that it was even more dangerous?
He told this story to Xie Changshi, his tone even a little weak, with a bit of self-doubt: "Xie Changshi, do you think I miscalculated? Then wouldn't I be cheating? I even charged her 500."
But the next second he changed the subject: "But I've never made a mistake in fortune-telling before."
When he was a child, he followed the Taoist Taixu, and the Taoist grandfather often praised him, saying that although he was a little zombie, he was born to be a Taoist priest.
Xie Changshi noticed that the hair on his head was drooping, and subconsciously reached out to smooth it back. He then said, "Don't doubt yourself. The different hexagrams before and after are because you originally prayed for two different things. There's a possibility that the dangers indicated by the hexagrams are not the same danger."
He patiently gave Rong Jing a hypothesis: "For Ms. Shu, the former danger might be persecution within the company, while the latter danger might be caused by an unexpected situation, such as a car accident, drowning, etc."
After he explained it this way, Rong Jing understood.
After understanding, his expression changed slightly, and he immediately called the ghost Cheng Puyu's cell phone, asking him to arrive at Senhe Community first.
After listening to his general account of what happened, Shu Yuan let her body sink weakly into the sofa, covering her face with her hands, and once again felt fortunate that she had changed her mind at some point and trusted Fang Yu and Rong Jing.
There is no doubt that Rong Jing saved her life.
She kept saying thank you.
Rong Jing held the water cup and drank: "Don't be so polite, I want to charge you."
The somewhat unpleasant "I want to charge you" seemed overly honest, and inexplicably made Shu Yuan's tense body relax a little. She even managed to pull up a smile and said, "Okay, any amount is fine."
Rong Jing didn't ask for a high price. After all, the problem had not been completely resolved to be precise.
After all, the kid was caught, but the person behind it has not shown up yet.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but ask: "Do you mind telling me what is going on?"
Shu Yuan smiled bitterly: "To be honest, I don't know either. But... if it involves life and death, I do have someone I suspect."
She recalled the car accident involving the three people in her mind, opened the news page on her mobile phone and handed it to Rong Jing, and briefly recounted what happened between her and the three people.
The three people are employees of the towel brand manufacturing factory under Danfeng Group.
To be precise, there is actually another person in their small team, named Bu Jun.
The four people discovered that the factory used a lot of carcinogenic illegal substances when making towels. Bu Jun accidentally revealed this to others when he was drinking one day. The factory director was very angry when he found out and spent a lot of money to silence several people.
But from then on, Bu Jun was often targeted by his director at work.
Bu Jun has a bad temper. He used this incident to threaten the director again and again, saying, "If you try to make things difficult for me again, I will tell the reporter about it. Then we'll see who will be the unlucky one, you or me."
The director was extremely angry at the time, and I heard that he even threw a lot of things that day.
But the next day, after venting his anger, the director still chose to put the factory first and took the initiative to apologize with good cigarettes, good wine and a box of milk.
Although Bu Jun was surprised by the director's unusual style of behavior, he still regarded it as a concession from the other party. He felt much better and vowed again and again that he would control his mouth.
Originally, the matter would have ended here, but what was unexpected was that a few days later, Bu Jun died suddenly at home.
At that time, Bu Jun was lying in front of the table, and the computer in front of him was still stuck on the game interface of a certain Krypton time-chang game.
"Bu Jun's death shocked and frightened the other three. For some reason, they insisted that Bu Jun's death was related to the director. Even though everyone told them it was just an accident, both the police investigation and the forensic autopsy confirmed that Bu Jun's death was just an accident."
"Coincidentally, I was on my way to inspect the factory as the person in charge, and I got in touch with them unexpectedly."
"They came to you on their own initiative?" Cheng Puyu listened with great interest.
Shu Yuan shook her head. "I heard about this from someone else and asked them about it. They told me the truth. That's when I realized Danfeng Group wasn't as good as I thought. This kind of use of contraband in one of their factories wasn't the first time."
"I asked a few seniors who had been at the company for a long time and learned that the company had used money to settle many similar incidents."
No wonder Shu Yuan came to Changhua Street that day to ask fortune-telling questions related to promotion.
Rong Jing held her face in her hands, with understanding in her eyes.
"To be honest, when I first saw the news that the three of them had died in a car accident, the first thing that came to my mind was the factory director."
If Bu Jun’s death was just an accident, then what about these three people?
Are there really such coincidences in the world?
However, just like Bu Jun’s death, there was nothing unreasonable about the car accident involving the three people.
"I even wondered if they were taking psychiatric drugs, but I asked someone and got no confirmation. Until now, I finally knew the secret behind this."
--ghost.
A creature that does not exist in the eyes of most people controls their death.
