The surging fear had eroded more than half of Yig's rationality, he stared blankly at his own hands, his face filled with unbelievable horror.

  "I killed someone, I killed Zhang Xiaoxi... what should I do..."

  He sobbed weakly, his heart seemed to have fallen into an abyss of ten thousand meters at this moment, every muscle in his body was filled with that icy coldness that penetrated to the bone marrow, even his eardrums were humming with a "buzzing" sound.

  Just as he was at a loss, a man's voice suddenly rang out from in front of him:

  "Shall we find a place to talk, fellow student?"

  The sudden appearance of the voice made Yigong become a startled bird, he lifted his head with a mixture of surprise and fear, and saw three people standing less than ten steps away from him.

  Yi Ge's body trembled violently, because there was a dead person lying at his feet. They would be suspected of being the murderer! Yi Ge's personality was introverted, but he couldn't be considered calm, especially when facing such a bizarre situation, so he immediately cried out:

  "I didn't kill anyone... Zhang Xiaoxi wasn't killed by me... I swear... I just had a nightmare..."

  He muttered to himself, slowly backing away, he was no longer rational, just wanting to quickly escape from the sight of these people, then flee down the mountain, and out of this town.

  But his idea was apparently not feasible, and three more people came to him from behind. He wanted to turn around and run away, but a strong force suddenly came from the back of his head. He let out a miserable cry, and his body was pressed firmly to the ground.

  "Go on, little kid, run another one and let me see!"

  Li Shuai grabbed Yigong's head and slapped him twice out of fright, instantly causing Yigong to cry out in pain.

  "Don't scare him anymore, I think he's about to collapse."

  The Taoist priest's words stopped Li Shuai, and Li Shuai pulled Yizong up from the ground with a twitch of his mouth.

  "Don't be afraid, we are police officers. We believe you have nothing to do with Zhang Xiaoxi's death. Hope you can calm down."

  Zhang Tian took out his dubious police ID and flashed it in front of the stunned gaze of Yigong, then he said to Lao Gao and others:

  "We'll take him back for questioning."

  Xiao Mo and the others appearing here was not unexpected, they had been paying attention to the movements over there all along. Earlier, Yi Ge and the others had gone to search for Zhang Xiao Xi in the surrounding areas, so with the intention of not exposing themselves for the time being, everyone shifted their position like playing hide-and-seek.

  From a position closer to the south, it moved to a position closer to the north, and was still able to clearly observe every move of the camp on that side.

  After more than half an hour of consolation, Yigong's out-of-control emotions finally stabilized a bit.

  Perhaps with the intention of letting Xiao Mo recall his memories, Zhang Tianyi and Lao Gao handed over the task of inquiring about Yigong to Xiao Mo. Xiao Mo didn't mind this either, after all, most suspenseful stories had such a plot, he was already familiar with it.

  "Are you saying that Zhang Xiaoxi's real-life experiences are exactly the same as what you dreamed?"

  "Although it's eerie, but that's the fact, every time I was woken up by that dream."

  "When did this dream start appearing?"

  "It was probably during a nap three days ago, I should have, at that time I also made a phone call to Zhang Xiaoxi."

  At this point, Yigong looked at the few people surrounding him and asked in a suspicious tone:

  "Do you really think there are ghosts in this world? Was Zhang Xiaoxi killed by a ghost?"

  Xiao Mo looked at Yi Ge and then said:

  "Whether or not it's a ghost, we still need to investigate. If you want to clear the suspect's name, cooperate fully with our instructions. Otherwise, I'll tell your classmates about this right now and have you both descend the mountain immediately!"

  "I'll listen to you guys, I'll definitely cooperate fully, just don't tell them, please!"

  Seeing Yi Ge begging for mercy, Lao Gao and Mian Rang Fashi both shook their heads and smiled, apparently Xiao Mo's method was very professional.

  Regarding Yigong's inquiry, it is still ongoing. Yigong did not hide anything and told everything about his experiences, dreams, and even some details over the past few days. By now, everyone has a preliminary understanding of this incident.

  Just as Xiao Mo was about to end this interrogation, Yi Ge spoke out again.

  "Our watches all stopped, isn't it strange? And they all stopped at the same time."

  "Is it stopping at one ten in the afternoon?"

  "No, it's twelve ten. Looking at your expressions, have all of your watches stopped too?"

  Xiao Mo didn't respond to Yi Ge's question, instead looking at the crowd, who were all equally perplexed. The same time had stopped coincidentally, but the stopped time was not the same, and it was unclear what this meant.

  At this time, Zhang Tianyi gave Xiao Mo a look, and Xiao Mo nodded in understanding. He then turned to Yigong and said:

  "Let's stop here for now! Also, Zhang Xiaoxi's matter is temporarily confidential, and we will handle his body. After returning, just follow my previous instructions, don't be afraid, we will protect you."

  After Xiao Mo finished speaking, Master Zhan handed a square box to Yigong. Yigong opened the box and found that it contained a battery, two cameras and two microphones.

  "Install these things on two opposite corners of the tent, one facing the door."

  Zhang Tianyi feared that Yigong would forget and reminded him once again.

  "But this is a desolate mountain with no signal coverage, how can you monitor it at all times?"

  "Don't worry, we have equipment with enhanced signal sources that will keep an eye on your side at all times. Don't worry about encountering danger, we won't miss this kind of problem."

  "Okay, then I'll go back first."

  After Yi Ge left, Zuo Ran couldn't help but ask Zhang Tian:

  "I remember you didn't buy a computer, how can you monitor without a computer?"

  "Right, so it's cheating him!"

  "You..."

  "Alright, let's discuss this incident now."

  Lao Gao interrupted the angry Mozhen Fashi and then he got to the point and said:

  "It is highly likely that the incident was caused by an evil spirit, and the 'nightmare' should be a cursed object. In addition, Xinyan's precognition can also explain some problems, only when one victim dies, will the next victim enter the premonition."

  However, there is still a certain connection between the two victims. The connection between dreams and reality, the content of the dream equals the experience in reality, and it does not belong to precognition, but rather simultaneous occurrence.

  "In that case, can we make such an assumption? Suppose Yigong dies in his dream and Zhang Xiaoxi is also facing a death threat in reality. If we kill the dreaming Yigong at this time, will Zhang Xiaoxi be saved? In this way, even if this event is a curse, it would mean that this chain of events has been broken. Is this the key to resolving this event?"

  Before Lao Gao's words fell, Zhang Tianyi immediately retorted:

  "Do you think it will be that easy? Think about it, if this is really a curse and we have truly broken the link of the curse, then the result will be to release the evil spirit. At that time... who can still survive? Just rely on that mirror which no one knows when it will take effect?"

  Upon hearing this, Xiao Muo laughed twice. He actually hoped that the incident was caused by an evil spirit rather than the so-called ghost, in which case his life would be completely guaranteed.

  But this incident has just begun, and it's hard to say what the truth is.
