The message in the bottle was a voice message, and the other person's avatar was that of a beautiful woman, at least matching Xiao Mo's aesthetic. The mailbox would occasionally receive bottles from all over the world, so Xiao Mo wasn't surprised, but rather naturally opened it.
"Wooo..."
As soon as it was opened, a woman's crying sound immediately came out of the phone. Xiao Mo couldn't describe this crying sound, he just felt that the voice was extremely sharp and made his scalp feel numb.
"Neurosis!"
Xiao Mo cursed and scolded, he had picked up this kind of bottle when he was picking up bottles with his email before, so he didn't think much about it and thought the person who sent the bottle was an idiot.
He had intended to delete the voice message, but just then, the screen showed that he had received a new one. From the avatar, it was still from the same person as before, and it was another six-second audio clip.
Receiving the same person's bottle twice in a row made Xiao Mo somewhat surprised, as the probability was really too low. He opened the voice message without hesitation, and a series of sobbing sounds immediately came out.
"Who... will... come... and keep me company..."
The woman was still crying, but her emotions were much better than before, and the murmured words seemed to have a magical power that made Xiao Mo feel a surge of sympathy.
"What's going on?"
Xiao Mo sensed the change and quickly shook his head, which also calmed down his restless mind. But before he could fully calm down, the screen displayed that a new bottle had been received.
The bottle was still from that woman, and this time, Xiao Mo not only received a voice message but also an image. The picture was of a beautiful woman who looked very young, probably only in her early twenties. Her white face showed no signs of makeup, and the words "pure" and "beautiful" were the most fitting descriptions for her.
Xiao Mo was not a womanizer, but at this moment he couldn't help but stare blankly, for this woman had an inexplicable charm that stirred his restless heart.
In a daze, Xiao Muo vaguely replied:
"Is the person in the photo you?"
Soon he received a reply from the woman:
"Of course it's me, will you come with me?"
Xiao Mo suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, and he stared at the phone screen with trembling eyes, wondering why he had replied to this woman.
Although he thought so in his heart, he still couldn't help but reply:
"Where are you?"
The woman didn't give a reply, but instead sent over a video window. Xiao Mo hesitated for a moment before pressing the answer key. In an instant, the phone screen fell into absolute darkness, and at the same time, a series of hissing sounds came out from the phone.
It wasn't until then that Xiao Mo realized what he had just done. He hastily pressed the shutdown button, trying to use it to resolve everything, but it was already too late!
The phone started shaking on its own, and then a blood-red eye suddenly appeared on the screen!
His bulging eyes were staring at him with an extremely evil gaze. At the same time, a vicious roar sounded from the phone again:
"I've seen you, so... you're dead for sure!!!!"
Ten minutes later, Lao Gao arrived at Xiao Mo's room. After listening to Xiao Mo's account of his experience, Lao Gao looked displeased and said to him:
"Unfortunately, the pursuer has found you, it seems you can't rest now."
"It can't be that soon, I just got over a curse!"
Xiao Mo was unwilling to accept this fact, because these two incidents did not have a long interval between them.
"Your situation is very special, at least I have never heard of it."
Lao Gao didn't lie about this matter, according to his past understanding, participating in stopping a paranormal event would extend the pursuit deadline to around twenty days, so the pursuer would find Xiao Mo at least half a month later, but in fact it came so quickly.
Xiao Mo sat down on the sofa with a thud, this result was beyond his expectation. He had always regarded mirrors as the biggest trouble and never thought that he would be involved in paranormal events again. But now his naive thinking had undoubtedly been shattered.
At this time, the rotten monk standing by the door suddenly spoke up:
"According to the news brought back by Tianyi, the paranormal event we are going to solve in Xuan'an City this time is related to WeChat. It's just unknown whether it has anything to do with the incident you encountered."
Xiao Mo looked at the rotten monk with a bitter face, but didn't say anything. Seeing Xiao Mo's dejected appearance, he encouraged him again:
"Don't have any burden in your heart, we will all try our best to help you survive."
Xin Yan stood by and didn't say a word, but Li Shuai walked over with a smile and sat down beside Xiao Mo with a plop.
"I'm telling you, are you a man or what? You should be thrilled to be seduced by a female ghost, but look at that dull and lifeless expression of yours. How embarrassing!"
"Stop talking nonsense, do you think you're Nie Xiaoqian?"
Li Shuai obviously didn't mind watching the excitement, and with a chuckle, he said to Xiao Mo again:
"You didn't have to be afraid in the first place, don't you still have a Demon-Reflecting Mirror?"
When Li Shuai mentioned the mirror, Lao Gao also asked with concern:
"By the way, did you use a mirror just now?"
"I used it, but it doesn't seem to have much effect."
Xiao Mo indeed pointed his phone at the mirror, but he didn't see the mirror sucking anything in.
Lao Gao's face suddenly showed a look of disappointment after hearing that the mirror had no effect, and even his gaze towards Xiao Mo underwent some subtle changes. Xiao Mo did not notice Lao Gao's change in demeanor, but Li Shuai and Xin Yan saw it very clearly, and the two exchanged a glance because of this.
Lao Gao and the others not only failed to solve any problems, but also made Xiao Mo even more disheartened. From their previous words and actions, Xiao Mo didn't see any intention from them to help him. Lao Gao had a completely oblivious expression, Xinyan was standing coldly by the door without saying a word, and as for Li Shuai, he had an attitude of watching a show. Among the few people, only Miao Ran, the Buddhist master, symbolically comforted Xiao Mo with a few words.
Especially after they heard that mirrors are ineffective against ghosts!
Xiao Mo had never complained about his fate before, on the contrary, he was grateful for the blessings of fate, because he had a happy family and a pair of loving parents who cared for him.
He knew that his parents had gone to the United States due to financial constraints, so he didn't complain about anything, even if they couldn't see each other for a whole year. However, their full love and care could still be conveyed through phone calls. His parents missed him very much and cared about him deeply, which he could deeply feel.
But now, everything has changed. He has become a fugitive, living in fear every day, afraid that some ghost will find him. His original life is gone, his memories are lost, and all he has left is a heart that is still beating with anxiety.
He came here hoping to recall the memories he had lost, find a way to get rid of that mirror, and then slowly forget everything that had happened recently, before going far away across the ocean to his parents' side.
But now this dream has been thoroughly shattered, and Lao Gao's words have been proven true: he will never return.
Xiao Mu's strong heart suddenly felt a little loose, and a desperate sense of powerlessness burst out from the bottom of his heart. He never knew he would be so fragile, and his heart was so wronged. For a moment, he had an urge to cry bitterly, but his bright eyes were still guarding the last line of defense, yes, they were guarding his strength.
"It's nothing big deal, I survived the haunted dormitory, I survived the curse of Luohe School's dead cycle, now, I can still survive!"
Xiao Mu, you must be strong and absolutely not give up easily. You still have your family and friends, so you must keep living! You have a calm mind that ordinary people don't have, and analytical skills that surpass most people. Moreover, you also have that mirror. Your future is still full of hope!"
Xiao Mo tried to calm himself down, repeatedly persuading himself in his heart and repairing his nearly collapsing nerves. After doing this repeatedly several times, Xiao Mo's turbulent emotions finally calmed down.
It's come to this, and complaining about fate is useless now. He should adjust his mindset and accept the challenge as it is.
"Whoa!"
Xiao Mo took a deep breath, then sat up from the sofa and picked up that notebook again. He couldn't rely on anyone else, so he could only count on himself; he needed to understand these paranormal affairs as soon as possible in order to increase his chances of survival.
"This time I will survive again!"
Xiao Mu clenched his fists and thought so in his heart.
(I know that some readers may not understand the previous parts, but it's only a few chapters. As the plot unfolds, everything will be explained. The new book is not a sequel to the wanted notice, and there are also changes in mode, so I am writing with great trepidation, but I must stick to my ideas, otherwise, if I modify the settings temporarily, the back end will definitely be unrecognizable.)
I hope everyone can understand me, even if my writing is not good-looking, I also hope that you can scold me in your heart, but please don't leave a comment to scold me. The new book is difficult to start, so any blow is fatal, as long as you give me time, I will continue to grow and strive to write stories that everyone likes.
This chapter ends, and the subsequent story will all enter the regular, still using the unit story writing method, with elements of reasoning, suspense, horror, etc., each volume will have this, so please rest assured.
Additionally, subsequent chapters will be published from 8pm to 9pm. If it becomes two updates later on, the second update will be from 10pm to 11pm.
