Under the gaze of many people who were almost ridiculing him, Wu Qi left the restaurant with a gray face. Today is absolutely a strange day for him, from the moment he got out of bed, such strange things have been happening one after another.

  "Is it really a ghost, or have I... gone mad?"

  Wu Qi grasped his head tightly, his mind was extremely chaotic at this moment. He was both doubting whether there was something wrong with his own spirit and fearing that ghosts really existed in the world. If it was indeed a revenge from Xiaofeng's ghost, then what should he do?

  As he thought about it, he took out his phone from his pocket. He planned to ask Zhang Chuan to take a sick leave for him, after all, in his current state, he was unable to work at all. In addition, he also asked Zhang Chuan to investigate the matter of Cheng Wushuang, to confirm that Zhang Chuan had not deceived him.

  He found Zhang Chuan's name in the received calls and dialed back. However, there was no "ringing" waiting tone from the mobile phone, on the contrary, as soon as he dialed the call, it was connected, but that voice... wasn't Zhang Chuan at all!

  "You will all die! Not one of you can escape!!!"

  A string of venomous screams came out from the phone, not only piercing Wu Qi's eardrums but also scaring him into hastily hanging up. In just that instant, his slightly dark face completely lost its color.

  "It can't be helped, this city is no longer habitable!"

  This was his instinctive thought, and he no longer cared whether it was a ghost or his own spirit that had gone wrong. In short, he wanted to leave this city, far, far away!

  With difficulty, he swallowed his saliva and hailed a taxi. He then got in hastily, as if fleeing for his life. Once inside the car, he let out a sigh of relief, but his nerves were still on edge.

  He considered calling the police to protect himself, but then gave up on the idea because the police would not believe in ghosts and would just think he was playing a prank. Besides, even if the police did believe him, they would definitely ask why the ghost wanted to kill him specifically, and how would he answer that? Who knows, maybe he'd end up getting into more trouble instead of solving anything.

  Looking out the window at the constantly retreating people and scenes, Wu Qi's heart gradually transformed his panic into desolation. Once again leaving a city, once again leaving with nothing, he was a thorough failure.

  "How reluctant I am!"

  Wu Qi's fingernails dug deeply into his palm, without pain, only a deep numbness.

  "Wait a minute, something doesn't seem right!"

  Wu Jimeng suddenly lifted his head, he hurriedly looked out the window again, only then did he realize that he had not told the driver where to go, but the driver didn't ask either, and just took him away!

  "Hey, I haven't even said where we're going, how did you start driving already?"

  Upon hearing this, the driver looked at him through the rearview mirror with a puzzled expression and then heard him say:

  "What? Weren't you together?"

  "Us? How could it be..."

  Wu Qi started to panic, his frightened gaze involuntarily began to search around the car, where is it? It's there!

  Everything was just as he had thought, inside the car there were not only him and the driver, but also another person. No, to be precise, on the front passenger seat sat a ghost.

  "Stop! I want to get off!"

  Wu Qi started smashing the car window desperately, and seeing this, the driver hurriedly stopped the car.

  "Are you sick? Come back... You haven't paid yet!"

  Jumping down from the car, Wu Qi completely ignored the driver's rage and ran away without looking back.

  He was already very close to his residence, and for now he had nowhere else to go, so he could only hide back home first. Anyway, he would have to go back to pack his things later. As he ran, he suddenly felt a sense of being stalked, and he quickly turned his head to look back, only to see an eleven or twelve-year-old kid following slowly behind him.

  The child hung his head and couldn't see his expression at all, but he was very sure in his heart that the man was Xiaofeng, Xiaofeng's ghost!

  "What's going on? It really is chasing after me! It wants to kill itself!"

  "Save me!... Save me......!"

  Wu Ji Bian desperately escaped while loudly calling for help to the surrounding crowd, but everyone had a indifferent expression, just standing by and coldly staring at him, not only did they not provide any assistance, but instead made him even more frightened.

  At last, he escaped to the front of the building where his home was located. With a final burst of strength, he rushed in, exhausted and weak. The hallway was eerily quiet, with no one seen during his dash upstairs, except for the faint footsteps behind him, growing clearer by the second.

  His hands were shaking so hard that he couldn't get the key into the lock, and with the footsteps closing in on him, his heart was already in his throat.

  "Crack!"

  With a creak, the door was finally opened by him. He didn't dare to look back and slipped through the gap, then slammed the door shut with force. Suddenly he couldn't hear any sound, as if the whole world had come to a standstill. He leaned against his knees, panting heavily.

  "I'm back, I've finally come back."

  Just then, his phone rang like a ghost, and he nervously took it out to see that the caller was Zhang Chuan.

  He was very hesitant to answer the phone, after all, when he called Zhang Chuan earlier, it was that thing speaking. After hesitating for a moment, he finally chose to pick up:

  "Hello?"

  "Open the door! Open the door for me!!!"

  The phone suddenly emitted that extremely vicious voice again, and at the same time, the door behind him was also knocked.

  "Bang! Bang!!"

  "Ah——!"

  Wu Qi let out a scream and slammed the phone in his hand to the ground, then he fled into the bedroom in disarray. The entire room fell silent once again.

  "Hey, is that Wu Qi? What's going on over there? Where are you now? Speak up!"

  Xiao Mo shouted loudly into the phone, but there was no sound coming from the other end, except for that initial scream.

  "Wu Qi seems to have encountered something, and the phone was hung up."

  Xiao Mu slightly shook his head in disappointment, and the Taoist priest asked with concern:

  "What shall we do now?"

  Xiao Mo pointed at Zhang Tianyi who was sitting not far away and using his computer.

  "Let's see if he can find Wu Qi's actual address."

  Listening to Xiao Mo say this, Li Shuai stretched his head over and asked:

  "How did you know he was at home? Moreover, his colleagues didn't even know where his house was. Just searching online shouldn't be able to find it, after all there are many people with the same name and surname, and he's not even a local."

  "Wu Qi initially didn't have any friends here, and now it's working hours. If he wasn't going to work, the most likely possibility is that he went home. Especially after knowing he encountered a ghost, out of instinct, he might have had the idea to pack up his things and escape. So the likelihood of him being at home right now is very high, otherwise he would already be dead."

  Earlier, he also made a phone call to Zhang Chuan, but only said "hello" before hanging up the phone. I think he must have had some kind of hallucination, otherwise he wouldn't have thought that he was having dinner with a dead person.

  "If I'm not mistaken, the words that Xin Yan sensed are the current state of the victim. In this case, the content that Xin Yan sensed is connected to the victims."

  Today, Xin Yan's premonition is the word "illusion". Xiao Mo and Zhang Tianyi are both suspicious. The premonition is a state that the victims fall into. For example, the previous deceased Cheng Wushuang may have confirmed something that originally "did not exist" as existing before his death.

  But now Cheng Wushuang is dead, so it's hard to say whether the truth of the matter is as he guessed, and can only wait for the next victim to help him verify.

  Li Shuai and Mo Ran both looked thoughtful after hearing this. Seeing their expressions, Xiao Mo continued to explain:

  "As long as Wu Qi has a temporary residence permit here, it won't be difficult for us to find him. As for the same name and surname, this doesn't seem to be a problem, I think there shouldn't be many people named 'Wu Qi', because this isn't a good name."

  Lao Gao had expected that Xiao Mo and the others would go to Cheng Wushuang's company to investigate, so he didn't go there. For now, all he could do was try his best to recall the real names of those childhood playmates.

  However, after thinking for a whole morning, he couldn't recall anyone's full name and could only vaguely remember that there was someone named Xu Lei. That person was also a woman, and at the time, there were only two women among his playmates, one was Cheng Wushuang, and the other was Xu Lei.

  He pulled out all the identity information of Xu Lei in this city, but there was not a single match. Although he had made up his mind to die, it was not that he didn't want to live at all. In fact, he was also desperately thinking of a countermeasure. He only separated from the crowd because he was afraid of implicating them.

  He has now thought of a way, which is to contact several people at that time and try to calm down Xiaofeng's resentment.

  Zhang Tianyi did not think of going to stop Wu Qi's death, because doing so would likely provoke the vengeful spirit. After all, if the vengeful spirit was only seeking revenge, then they would not be in great danger in this event. But once they intervened, the danger would increase.

  So he didn't tell Xiao Mo how many people he had already found Wu Qi's address.

  "We'll have to wait and see."
