Chapter 360 Candy
After bidding farewell to Du Yu, I felt a big stone falling in my heart, and I gained some confidence in this live broadcast.
The rest of the time I stayed in the shop, meditating and practicing, consolidating the Miaozhenxin Dharma and Yin Yang Ghost Technique.
The sky was getting dark outside the window and there were no lights on in the shop. I listened to the sound of ticking pointers in my ears and slowly opened my eyes.
When night fell completely, the underworld show mobile phone on the table gave off a pale light.
"It's eight o'clock..."
Picking up the phone and putting it to my ear, I took a breath and pressed the answer button: "Hello?"
There was no response from the living person on the other end of the microphone, only the cold wind howling, and it felt like I had been waiting for a long time before a timid female voice came.
"I-I'm lost. This is the only phone I can get through to. Can you help me?"
When I heard this female voice, my scalp almost exploded, my hairs stood on end, and my heart beat rapidly: "How do you want me to help you?"
"My brother said he would come to pick me up, but it's been a long time. Can you help me find him?" There was a trace of uncertainty in the female voice. She had a very kind personality and seemed to feel that her request was a bit excessive. Her tone Softening: "I know it's hard to force someone, but I have to find him, please."
My heart rate slowly returned to normal and my voice calmed down: "Can you tell me where you are now? Is there anything special about the surrounding environment?"
"I'm in a phone booth. I've never been to this place before. There are no lights and dark paths everywhere. It seems like a ghost town. By the way, you can often see people with the same height as ordinary people on the streets and walls of the city. There are water stains of the same size, they are stuck to the ground, and some are soaked into the walls. It is strange that when I look at them, I always feel that they are looking at me."
The female voice was full of uncertainty and deep-hidden panic. She seemed to be hiding some secrets that could not be told. I tapped my fingers on the table and my brain was racing: "When did you get to that place? Before your brother left, Have I ever said anything important to you?"
"There is only darkness here. I don't know how long I have been here. My brother didn't tell me anything before he left. He said he would come back soon to pick me up and leave." The girl's voice was trembling, as if her body was shaking uncontrollably. .
Some images emerged in my mind. In a completely dark city with humanoid marks everywhere, there was a frightened girl hiding in a phone booth and dialing an unknown number for help.
"I accept your request. I will help you find your brother, but at the end, can you tell me your name?"
"Thank you, my brother's name is Xia Chi, and my name is...Xia Qingzhi."
The phone was hung up, a beeping busy tone reached my ears, and the last three words of the female voice set off a storm in my mind.
"If the girl on the phone is the real Xia Qingzhi, then give me the underworld show card, who is the girl who has been with me these days? Everyone has forgotten my brother, only she remembers, who is she? Is she Xia Qingzhi? Or someone else?"
Countless speculations surged from the depths of my mind, and my body was soaked in cold sweat at some point.
"Ding!" The call ended, and a text message was sent to the underworld show mobile phone mailbox.
"It is unnecessary to attribute the occurrence of evil to supernatural factors; human beings themselves are sufficient to commit every evil deed."
“Real demons are often mere mortals and inconspicuous, they dine with us at our tables, they sleep with us in our beds.”
"Live broadcast mission: Arrive at Room 206 of Anxin Hotel before ten o'clock in the evening and eat the candy on the plate."
"Optional task one: Find the extra person and award five points."
"Optional task two: Kill the traitor, reward ten points, and get a chance to be exempted from the live broadcast."
"Optional mission three: For each person killed, one point will be awarded."
"Attention: The special function of the mobile phone in the underworld is turned on. When you encounter an unsolvable death situation, you can call this mysterious number. The other party may help you escape, or it may lead you into deeper despair. First call It’s free, the call lasts three minutes, and each subsequent call will cost ten points.”
The content of the text message in the Underworld Show was still concise. After reading it, I fell into deep thought for a long time.
"There is a problem with this live broadcast!"
The calls and text messages before the live broadcast often give me some kind of hint inadvertently, or a hint is more appropriate.
"The live broadcast location is at the Anxin Hotel, which is where my first live broadcast started. The probability of doing two live broadcasts in the same place is not high, but this possibility cannot be completely ruled out. Another doubt is the underworld show. according to the mission requirements.”
"Not only do I have to arrive at the Anxin Hotel on time, but I also have to eat the candy on the plate. What does this candy mean?"
Based on my previous live broadcast experience, I made a careful guess: "The live broadcast requirement is to arrive before ten o'clock, but the time requirement for most live broadcasts is before midnight."
I have encountered tasks like this to advance the live broadcast time before. It was a live broadcast at Henshan Mental Hospital. I was kidnapped due to a car accident. Now it seems that it was clearly a trick of the underworld show, allowing me to do it without anyone suspecting it. Enter the lair of the Jiangtou Master.
"The live broadcast time has also been advanced to ten o'clock. Will it be similar to the last encounter?" I felt uneasy, so I didn't bring a black suitcase at all. I put the underworld show mobile phone and a few talismans in the bag and tied it with tape. On the calf, the brooch is placed close to the body.
After looking around, I still felt uneasy, so I hid some useful little things on my body, such as thin wire, fruit knives, etc.
"Xia Qingzhi's voice came over the phone, and the mission was to find Xia Chi, which means that I will probably meet Xia Chi during the tenth live broadcast, and meet this missing former anchor!" My mind turned and I thought again. Reminiscent of the optional tasks arranged by the Underworld Show, "The second optional task is to kill the traitor, reward ten points, and get an opportunity to be exempted from the live broadcast. This reward is too rich, which shows that the Underworld Show really wants me to go. After completing this mission, thinking about it this way, is it possible that Xia Chi is the betrayer mentioned in the underworld show? Killing him will count as completing the mission? "
Regardless of the outcome of the mission, Xia Chi is very crucial to me. The existence of the underworld show is completely a fog. If Xia Chi dares to betray, as long as he is not a fool, he must have some key things that I don't know.
"Killing the traitor is only an optional task. I can give up this task and secretly rescue Xia Chi, as long as he can help me solve my doubts and answer my questions." Thinking of this, I felt a little excited. This live broadcast was very exciting. It might be a new twist.
After smoking two cigarettes, and after I calmed down completely, I took out my mobile phone and prepared to send a text message to Du Yu.
Before sending it, I used my judgment eye to scan every inch of the room. The underworld show knew all the big and small things that happened in Jiangcheng. There might also be something watching around me all the time. I only started editing the text message after confirming that it was safe: "At nine o'clock in the evening Between fifty and ten o'clock, come to Room 206 of the Anxin Hotel, eat the candy on the plate, be careful and don't go back."
It only took a few seconds to write and send the text message, and nothing happened in the store. I thought it would be impossible for the underworld show to notice these little actions of mine.
Putting away my phone, I locked the door of the store and took a taxi to the Anxin Hotel.
At 9:05 pm, I have arrived at my destination. The Anxin Hotel is located in the northern suburbs of Jiangcheng, very close to Henshan Prison. The surrounding area is deserted, and even vehicles rarely pass by after dark.
"This is already the tenth live broadcast. I didn't expect that my mood is still the same as the first live broadcast. I am nervous and a little expectant." Walking on the dilapidated dirt road, looking at the blurry Anxin Hotel in the distance, with colorful small The words "Anxin Hotel" surrounded by light bulbs can no longer be read clearly. Since the corpse hiding case, few people have taken care of it.
I tore off the seal on the door and used my mobile phone to illuminate it: "I stayed in room 203 during the first live broadcast. This time I am going to room 206. The person who died suddenly from a heart attack seemed to live in this room. "
I kicked open the door. The furnishings in the room were very simple. The only special thing was that there was a dinner plate on the bed sheet with two candies, one red and one green.
