After dinner, everyone gathered in Zhang Tianyi's room again. Previously at the dinner table, they hardly discussed this matter in order not to affect their appetite, so most people were still confused.

  "What is it that puts a piece of paper into an insect's mouth?"

  When he asked this question, Li Shuai also glanced at Lao Gao sitting on the side without making a sound, but Lao Gao seemed to have not heard it and didn't even look at him.

  Before Tianyi could respond, Monk Mi Hong spoke up first:

  "It must be a ghost, because ghosts are the only things we can't see with our eyes."

  On one side, the Taoist priest was painting a vivid picture with his words, while on the other side, Zhang Tianyi suddenly poured a bucket of cold water over him:

  "Whether it's a fierce ghost or an evil spirit, they can all become invisible before our eyes. What you said is just one aspect of identification, and we cannot hastily draw conclusions based on this one aspect. But relatively speaking, the possibility that thing is a ghost is higher."

  "If it's a ghost, then maybe the note has some kind of foreboding meaning; otherwise, wouldn't putting the note there be completely unnecessary?"

  Xiao Mo took over Zhang Tianyi's words, and he had repeatedly looked at the paper note, but no matter how he looked, it was just an ordinary grass paper, with only a few sparse words on it, not revealing any hint of meaning.

  Those ghostly things don't have any rules when they do things, and will give us that piece of paper, probably just to scare us.

  The words of the rotten law master were recognized by Li Shuai this time, but Xiao Mo didn't respond to them, and instead continued to ask Zhang Tianyi:

  "This incident has already begun, what is your next action plan?"

  "Find the first corpse and then think of others."

  As he said this, he suddenly turned his head around and ordered everyone to leave.

  "The clues in our hands are almost negligible, so even if you discuss it here until dawn, you will inevitably not get any results. It's better to go back and take a bath and sleep, maybe new clues will appear tomorrow."

  Indeed.

  Xiao Mo nodded slightly, and then left Zhang Tianyi's room with the others. After everyone had gone, the room suddenly fell silent, with only the sound of Zhang Tianyi typing on his keyboard remaining.

  After a series of knocks, Zhang Tianyi stood up from his chair and sat down opposite Lao Gao.

  "I'm not a patient listener, so you'd better keep it brief."

  "I know."

  The old man slowly lit a cigarette for himself, took a deep drag, and asked Zhang Tianyi as he exhaled the smoke:

  "How long have we known each other?"

  "I never remember things like this."

  "Me too."

  Lao Gao let out a bitter laugh, but it caused Zhang Tian to furrow his brow:

  "What exactly do you want to say?!"

  I'm going to die.

  Lao Gao said this very calmly, as if he was always prepared to meet death at any time. Lao Gao's words made Zhang Tianyi slightly surprised, and he asked with a strange expression:

  "Why?"

  "I guess I'll get what's coming to me for doing something wrong. Actually... that note wasn't meant for you guys, it was specifically for me, and I didn't tell you about it earlier. It also left a message for me."

  "What's up?"

  "It says it's back! So I'm almost dead, it won't let me go."

  As they spoke, Old Gao took two more heavy drags on his cigarette, as if the two sentences had drained all the energy from his body. But Zhang Tianyi didn't react at all, only asking faintly:

  "So what do you plan to do?"

  "Leave, I intend to leave you all, so maybe it won't affect you, this is the only thing I can do for you."

  "What are you still doing here then."

  "Because I have something to remind you."

  "Oh? I'd really like to hear it."

  Lao Gao extinguished the cigarette butt in his hand and gazed intently at Zhang Tianyi's eyes before saying:

  "I know what they've all done to you, not just changing your eyes, but also..."

  "If you just want to say that, then sorry, I have no desire to listen."

  "Alright, I don't want to rub salt in your wounds, but I have to remind you that after you've investigated everything, you must destroy the truth and not let those ruthless scoundrels know. You should know that they're playing with fire and won't come to a good end..."

  At the same time, in Xiao Mo's room.

  Xiao Mo returned and took a cold shower, doing so to make himself more alert. Unlike Li Shuai, he didn't have the nerve to sleep during events. He set an alarm every five minutes to ensure he was awake most of the time, at least when he was alone at night.

  After setting the alarm clock, Xiao Meng decided to take a short nap, but... his phone, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly rang!

  "You have a new short message..."

  Xiao Mu's heart began to beat violently, he was absolutely frightened by this text message. Although it is related to reality here, he has done experiments and used his mobile phone to call his parents abroad, but the call cannot be connected at all. In other words, mobile phones can only be used for local communication here, and the range only includes this city where supernatural events occur.

  With a nervous hand, I picked up my phone, and the name of the sender on the screen was particularly eye-catching. It was that mysterious person with whom I had not been in contact for a long time. Anxiously, I opened this message, only to find that there were only two words:

  "Be careful!"

  These two short words left Xiao Mo somewhat bewildered, unsure of their meaning. Were they merely a reminder to beware of ghosts and monsters, or was he being warned to be cautious around someone?

  Xiao Mo thought carefully and felt that it couldn't be a reminder to beware of ghosts, as that would be a waste of words. So, it must be a warning to beware of someone. But here, he could only come into contact with Old Gao, Li Shuai and others. So, the mysterious person's intention was... to let him beware of these people?

  Apart from that, he also discovered another thing, which was that under such circumstances, the mysterious person could still send him messages. It can be seen that there are only two possibilities, one is that the mysterious person is in this city, and the other is that the mysterious person has some kind of supernatural ability.

  "What is this person's purpose?"

  The next morning, Xiao Mo had just come out of his room when he heard some shocking news: Lao Gao had left alone. This was told to them by Zhang Tianyi, who said that the incident was caused by Lao Gao, so Lao Gao chose to face it alone.

  "Are you kidding me, facing it alone? He told you and you just let him go? I'm saying, are you even human? Even a worm can be despicable, but you guys have been through life and death together, and you just abandoned him like that!"

  After listening to Li Shuai's nonsensical scolding, Zhang Tian raised his eyelids and said:

  "If you can't bear to part with him, then follow him; otherwise, don't talk nonsense. If this matter is really a revenge of the evil spirit on him as Old Gao said, then we will definitely die if we stay with him."

  "If you have a way to appease the vengeful spirits, then go ahead and join Old Gao together, no one will stop you!"

  Listening to Li Shuai and Zhang Tianyi's quarrel, Xiao Mo's heart suddenly didn't feel right, after all he had the ability to deal with fierce ghosts, was he just going to watch Old Gao go to his death?

  Li Shuai was loudly shouting when he heard Xin Yan say coldly from somewhere:

  "The second premonition word has appeared."
