Zhang Tian took out his mobile phone and saw that the caller was Lao Gao before he pressed the answer button.

  "We have arrived in Xu'an City, where are you?"

  "An apartment of a victim."

  "Shall we go directly there?"

  "Go check-in at the Ritz Hotel first, I'll join you guys later. That's it for now."

  After finishing speaking, Zhang Tian hung up Lao Gao's phone and pushed the door to enter.

  The house was quiet and still, seemingly empty. Yet, Zhang Tianyi did not choose to enter rashly, but instead stood cautiously by the door, covering his right eye as he scanned the interior.

  After patrolling for a while, Zhang Tianyi finally put down his hand covering his eyes and walked deep into the house. He kept walking inside, during which he glanced at the bed with its messy sheets, and then looked at the two slippers that were far apart, until he stopped in front of the desk, or rather, the computer.

  The computer screen was black, but the display lights were on. Zhang Tianyi pulled out a plastic glove from his pocket and put it on before tapping the keyboard once. Immediately, the dark screen lit up.

  On the desktop, there was a chat window with a contact note named Lao Wang, and above it was a prompt thanking him for using video communication. Zhang Tianyi then opened the chat record of the two again, and after careful reading, he couldn't help but let out a soft sigh:

  "This person's phone is also lost?"

  He then flipped through Cheng Ziliang's communication record again, but didn't find any usable clues. He didn't give up, instead reopening the communication record to review it once more. Just as he was doing so, a "buzzing" sound suddenly entered his ears.

  The sound startled him, and he hastily retreated a few steps, then covered his right eye again to look in the direction of the sound. There was a narrow bathroom, at least that's what it looked like from the outside, and the "humming" noise was coming from there.

  "Want to scare me away?"

  Zhang Tian muttered to himself, looking hesitant as if wondering whether to go over. He hesitated for a moment but still walked over cautiously.

  The sound was still echoing, and judging from the sound, it should be a blower or something similar. He came to the door, because the door was half open, so even if he didn't go in, he could see everything inside clearly. So he tilted his head and peered inside with his eyes.

  It's blood! The whole bathroom is covered in blood!

  Only to see Cheng Ziliang half-kneeling on the ground, his head spinning like a fan blade, inexplicably rotating on his twisted neck, blood splashing around with the rotation of his head, splashing onto the wall, door... emitting faint "popping" sounds.

  The hellish scene made Zhang Tianyi's expression tense, although he had seen many bloody scenes before, but today's was rare.

  Zhang Tianyi didn't relax his right eye, only exposing his left eye to the outside. At this moment, that pupil-less eyeball bulged out stiffly, with countless dense blood threads covering it, making him look extremely ferocious.

  In sight, this is a world full of silver and white, this white is like the swollen face of a dead person, with an unspeakable silence.

  His gaze fell on the wall opposite Cheng Ziliang, which seemed empty and only had a plain white wall. However, in his left eye, apart from the plain white wall, there was also a terrifying face.

  That face seemed to be growing on the wall, it had a head of flowing long hair, but was as withered as weeds. It had a breathtakingly beautiful face, but it was crawling with maggots!

  This scene was just a flash, and in the next instant, that face disappeared from that expanse of silver white...

  Lao Gao followed the agreement with Zhang Tianyi and settled down in the Rui Xing Hotel with everyone else, waiting for Zhang Tianyi's arrival. During this time, only Li Shuai was noisy and didn't sleep well, so he went back to his room to make up for lost sleep, while the rest of the people were all in Lao Gao's room.

  On the way here, Xiao Meng learned from Lao Gao's mouth that the strange event they were about to face was likely a curse of an evil spirit. Because all the victims involved in this incident had one thing in common, which was that they had received WeChat messages.

  There are three ways to receive WeChat messages: Drift Bottle, People Nearby, and Shake.

  The woman's life-threatening WeChat message was sent to the victim through these three methods, of course, most victims were active recipients, only Xiao Mo was a passive recipient.

  It can also be seen from this point that Xiao Mo's specialness is unavoidable.

  The victims, although receiving WeChat messages in different ways, all received similar content, including women's crying voices, women's murmurs, women's photos, and... videos sent by women!

  "I'm really stupid beyond salvation, knowing that supernatural powers exist in the world, yet still don't know to avoid them!"

  Xiao Mo felt more and more foolish, he hadn't even logged into WeChat at that time, but he still received a drifting bottle message. This was an obviously supernatural event. But he actually opened it, not only that, he even replied to it.

  "If I had ignored that bottle back then, I probably wouldn't have been dragged into this. Damn it!"

  Xiao Mo leaned against the sofa, his face showing a bitter regret.

  It's actually normal for Xiao Mo to be unaware, after all, he didn't think the pursuer would find him so quickly, and at that time, he was still thinking that only the mirror was his threat, and hadn't considered the pursuer at all.

  In his annoyance, Xiao Mo suddenly remembered something and asked Lao Gao:

  "Is there anyone among us who can predict supernatural events?"

  Everyone in the house looked at Xiao Mo, which made him a bit embarrassed. He didn't think this question was stupid. Lao Gao didn't respond to him, but instead, the rotten Taoist smiled and answered enthusiastically: "There is indeed someone among us who can sense supernatural events, and that person is Xin Yan."

  Xiao Mo learned about this from the notes, which said that in this world, not only did vengeful spirits and evil ghosts exist, but there were also people with special abilities. These people usually existed among those who had escaped, and they were known as Ability Users.

  But it's not as written in the fantasy novels, where they are invincible and travel freely. On the contrary, their fate is more tragic than that of ordinary fugitives, their abilities are useless to ordinary people, everything is just serving the struggle between the same spiritual forces.

  That notebook once again shocked Xiao Mo, and now he finally knew why Lao Gao valued it so much. If the contents recorded on it were all true, then it would be equivalent to an encyclopedia related to supernatural powers, a strategic manual that could help them escape.

  At the same time, Xiao Mo became even more curious about the author of the notes.

  He withdrew his thoughts, and Xiao Mo's gaze lingered on Xin Yan's body. This woman, who always wore a veil, gave him a sense of mystery. Her figure was slender yet full, her long eyelashes like two small fans, decorating her beautiful eyes.

  She always wore that black veil, even in the sunlight, so her true face couldn't be seen. I don't know why she had to wear something like that, even if there were scars on her face, it wasn't necessary to pay attention to them like this.

  Xing felt the gaze of Xiao Mo, and Xinyan also looked at Xiao Mo at this time. The two gazes collided in mid-air, and for an instant, Xiao Mo seemed to read the sadness in her heart, or perhaps it was a kind of despair.

  Xin Yan was clearly uninterested in Xiao Mo, her gaze only lingering on him for a moment before withdrawing.

  The room fell silent once again, but this silence was soon broken as the person they were waiting for had arrived.
