Chapter 849 Is Coming
"Is there something more important than the note?" Xia Qiang's pupils slightly dilated, "What is it, that oil painting?"
Everyone knows the weirdness of the oil painting, but in Xia Qiang's eyes, it represents more of a crisis than a clue.
Jiang Cheng hesitated for a moment and shook his head, "It's not the oil painting. I haven't figured out what it is yet. My intuition tells me that we have overlooked something very important. I am also thinking about it, but my thoughts are very messy."
"I believe in your intuition, Mr. Jiang. Please remind me when you think of it." Xia Qiang turned his head to look at the siblings Lin Muyun and Lin Muwan sitting near the sofa, and whispered, "Whether my brothers and I can leave alive has little impact on the situation outside, but the Lin brothers and sisters must leave alive. This represents a signal, a signal that our Xia family conveys to the Night Watchmen. We have the ability to protect the people we want to protect. This is very important."
"I can probably think of it." Jiang Cheng said without any objection. Lin Wan'er told him about the current situation. The struggle has become white-hot. The Night Watchmen and the other forces are completely doomed to die.
Xia Qiang exhaled, his tone became low, "Mr. Jiang, can I ask you for a favor?"
"Help you protect the Lin brothers and sisters." Jiang Cheng asked naturally. This was a very simple question. Apart from that, he couldn't think of another reason why Xia Qiang asked him for a favor.
"Yes, although I know it will be difficult, in exchange, my team members and I will do our best to assist you and share the clues we have collected with you without reservation. Xia Qiang said.
The crisis in the mission does not come entirely from ghosts, but a considerable part comes from the companions in the mission, and backstabbing happens from time to time.
Having a group of reliable companions, in a sense, will greatly reduce the difficulty of the mission.
Jiang Cheng looked at Lin Muwan's back. At this moment, she was sitting quietly beside her brother Lin Muyun, listening patiently. The fat man opposite the sofa was talking with his hands and feet, probably popularizing the survival common sense in the mission to this girl.
Feng Jie and Zhou Tong, one sat on the armrest of the sofa freely, and the other simply leaned against the wall. From the expressions of the two, they both thought that the fat man was talking nonsense.
Jiang Cheng retracted his gaze, "I promise you. "
Xia Qiang's face showed a touch of joy. He was not sure about getting through to Jiang Cheng. After all, not long ago, he and his team members followed Miss Xia Meng and Mr. Gong Zhe to round up this man called Jiang Cheng.
"Thank you, I can promise you on behalf of the Xia family. As long as the Lin brothers and sisters can leave here safely, the Xia family will..."
Xia Qiang said excitedly, but he was interrupted by Jiang Cheng halfway through, "I promised to help the Lin brothers and sisters. It has nothing to do with the Xia family and you. It's Lin Muwan. Jiang Cheng paused, "She helped me before."
Xia Qiang thought for a moment and nodded, "I understand."
"Call them all over, let's discuss it together." Jiang Cheng said.
After a while, a group of people gathered by the window. It can be seen that everyone's mood was affected by what happened not long ago, especially Lin Muwan, whose eyes were dim. Jiang Cheng only stayed on her face for a moment and then looked away.
"Captain Xia and I have discussed that we need to go to the Reasoning Museum again tomorrow. This time we need..."
"Ding!"
Before Jiang Cheng finished speaking, Lin Muwan took a step back. This sudden action was like a sharp blade, instantly cutting everyone's tense heartstrings.
Lin Muwan's character was pale, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably, as if he was greatly frightened.
"Muwan." Lin Muyun immediately comforted: "What's wrong with you?"
Everyone's first reaction was that something strange appeared in the room. Several people immediately dispersed and looked around the room.
But after searching around, nothing unusual was found.
The door was still closed, and there was no strange sound in the corridor.
Retracting his sight, Jiang Cheng immediately asked: "Don't be afraid, what did you see or feel?"
Jiang Cheng's understanding of this woman was also relatively one-sided. He only knew that she was kind-hearted, and that there seemed to be problems with her language function. She relied on the notebook in her hand for daily communication.
In addition, she was very dependent on her brother Lin Muyun.
Lin Muwan subconsciously squatted down, curled up into a ball, as if to minimize her presence.
Lin Muyun accompanied her and squatted down beside her, "Muwan." He reached out and touched her head as if to comfort her. At the same time, he took out the notebook in Muwan's hand and handed it to her, as well as a pen, "What did you see? Write it down and tell us, okay? This is very important."
Lin Muwan's shoulders trembled slightly, but she still reached out and clenched the pen, and then wrote a line of words on the notebook. Due to fear, the font became a little deformed, but when everyone saw the words she wrote in the notebook, the faces of several people changed in an instant.
"There is someone outside the window, a very scary person."
The words on the notebook were like a knife, piercing everyone's heart.
Huaiyi and Fatty were standing in front of the window. They reacted the fastest and looked out the window immediately, but they did not see the horrible scene. It was very quiet outside the window, without any strange floating human faces, let alone ghosts.
Everyone subconsciously distanced themselves from the window, as if they were worried that something would suddenly appear and scare them.
"No." Zhou Tong retracted her gaze and looked at Lin Muwan with a strange look. Her lips moved as if she was about to say something, but Xia Qiang stopped her with his eyes.
"Ms. Lin." Jiang Cheng said, "There is nothing outside the window. Don't be afraid. We are all here."
Lin Muwan reached out and took the notebook. He quickly wrote another line of words on it. He used a lot of force and even tore the back page of paper. "I didn't see it wrong. It was outside the window. The tennis court outside, the tennis court not far away, I saw it clearly."
This time everyone looked out the window again. Indeed, they found a tennis court far away on the opposite side. There were several people training in the tennis court. There were also people wearing white towels resting on the seats nearby.
The sight swept over little by little. Suddenly, Jiang Cheng and Xia Qiang's breathing stagnated at the same time. Then, as if they saw an extremely terrifying scene, their pupils tightened instantly.
Not far from the few people who were resting, behind the iron net, there was another person standing.
The man was tall and wore a dark apron whose color could not be distinguished. More importantly, his head was wrapped with thick transparent tape. His bloodshot eyes, full of resentment, stared at their windowsill.
He held a terrifying axe in his hand!
It was the murderer on a rainy night that they saw in the painting!
That was it!
