Liyang City
Li Jiu, who was working overtime late at night, received a text message.
"It must be hard to work overtime alone, right? How can you be sure you're the only one here?"
Li Jiu frowned slightly as he picked up the phone, but didn't care, because he firmly believed that it was his colleague's doing.
You can't win, so you come up with this method?
The promotion and salary increase will definitely be yours!
Young people should fight!
If you fight those rubbishes, you will win.
Li Jiu, with dark circles under his eyes, messy hair and pale face, smiled.
As expected... no one can endure it.
I looked up at the time. It was one in the morning and the company was empty.
Just one more hour of work and then leave!
Li Jiu muttered to himself.
An hour later, Li Jiu left the company.
The streets were deserted and there was no taxi to be seen for a long time. Li Jiu had no choice but to walk. Fortunately, his home was not far from the company.
Woohoo~
The phone rang again.
"Aren't you tired of carrying the baby after get off work?"
Li Jiu's heart skipped a beat and he looked around. It was pitch black and a cold wind was blowing. He shivered involuntarily.
"Is my colleague joking with me?"
Li Jiu thought about it while quickening his pace towards the community.
…
After returning home and closing the door, Li Jiu hurried to the window to check if anyone was following him... but he could only see a few street lamps emitting dim light.
The surroundings are so quiet that it’s a little scary!
"Downstairs, by the bushes, I'm standing outside watching you, don't close the window!"
The strange number sent another text message like this, and Li Jiu was so scared that he quickly drew the curtains.
At this moment, my heart began to beat violently and uncontrollably. Who was playing this prank on me?
Woohoo~
In panic, the phone rang again.
"Did you actually close the wardrobe in your room? Did you feel like it was looking at you?"
Swish
Li Jiu's face suddenly changed, beads of sweat the size of beans oozed out of his forehead. He turned his neck stiffly and looked at the old, yellowed wardrobe.
The wardrobe was closed and nothing happened.
"It's fake, all of this is fake, don't lie to yourself!"
After struggling for a long time, Li Jiu walked towards the wardrobe step by step and slowly opened it with trembling hands.
A creaking sound was heard.
When he opened the wardrobe, there was nothing unusual except some of his scattered clothes.
Huh~
Li Jiu breathed a sigh of relief and fell weakly on the bed.
Eyes fixed on the ceiling.
What is this strange number?
We must catch him!
After regaining his spirits, Li Jiu straightened up and picked up his phone again, trying to dial, but the number showed as invalid.
"If you're looking at your phone, remember to look behind you!"
Li Jiutong's eyes shrank, his body trembled, and a creepy feeling spread across his back.
He felt as if there was a pair of eyes staring at him from behind!
Gurgle~
Li Jiu swallowed, his spirit stretched to the limit again, and he moved the phone slightly to the left. With the help of the projection on the screen, he did not notice anything behind him.
"Illusion, everything is an illusion!"
"If you don't do anything wrong, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door!"
"I must be too tired. I'd better rest early!"
Woohoo~
"I hope the bottom of your bed is solid!"
Squeak~
Sudden……
There was a harsh sound of fingernails scratching the bed board, and then a hand stretched out from under the bed.
Soon, the whole bedroom was filled with the smell of blood.
A line of words appeared on the white wall.
"The murderer is Qiao Yuan!"
…
Around 3:20 this morning, a man was found tragically dead in the bedroom of a rental apartment. His clothes were disheveled, and his death was extremely horrific. The case is currently under further investigation...
…
Li Xiaoling was wearing pajamas and eating popcorn while watching the news on TV.
"Qiao Yuan, you killed someone again!"
In the bathroom, Qiao Yuan walked out wrapped in a bath towel, revealing a perfect pair of abdominal muscles.
"Which one is this?"
"The news said it was the third one!" Li Xiaoling replied.
Qiao Yuan nodded and watched the news on TV.
A week has passed since I returned from the Security Bureau.
Three days ago, I accidentally saw similar news.
There was no other clue at the crime scene except the sentence "The murderer is Qiao Yuan."
Once might be a coincidence, but twice... three times...
Obviously, this is directed at me!
…
"Qiao Yuan, I've compiled the information about the recent message-based murder case and am sending it to you now. We at the Security Bureau all suspect that a strange spirit is behind this and is framing you."
"Have you offended any strange spirits recently? Do you need me to send someone to protect you?"
Qiao Yuan thought for a moment and replied, "Captain Zhou, thank you. I'll treat you to a meal some other day. I won't bother the brothers in the bureau. Leave this matter to me."
"Okay then. Be careful and remember... our Security Bureau will always support you."
"If you have time, come back to the bureau more often. The brothers are waiting for you to start the class."
“…”
After a brief chat, Qiao Yuan ended the call.
