Chapter 453 [Toy War] Scream

[Scream: The deterrent power of your words and threats has been greatly improved. You can pull out a phone, letter paper or fax machine out of thin air in any situation to pass the threat to the prey you are playing with]

Looking at this newly acquired tag ability, Gao Yi was thoughtful.

Under normal circumstances, there should be no such thing as a phone in this copy - at least no usable phone.

But for Gao Yi now, he can "pull out of thin air" all kinds of communication equipment and make calls.

The only question is how to judge "the prey you are playing with", whether to know each other?

Of course, Gao Yi can't try slowly now that there is not enough time.

He just focused his mind and grabbed the air in front of him with his right hand.

A black old-fashioned rotary phone with some paint peeling off, which Gao Yi had only seen in movies, appeared in his hand.

There were no wires connected to the back, but judging from the flashing condition, it should be able to be used normally.

Time has come to the end. Gao Yi no longer hesitates and uses his agility and concentration enhanced by the "evolution rate" to quickly dial the number.

Of course, an [armchair detective] will not be troubled by memory.

After a while, the "land for sale" phone number published in the newspaper was dialed by Gao Yi.

Although I was worried whether the other party would still be asleep at this late hour.

But fortunately, after only three rings, the phone was picked up.

"Hello, who is this?"

A slightly angry male voice came from the other end of the phone.

It is not difficult to judge from the dissatisfaction and fatigue in his tone that this person has just been woken up.

And Gao Yi, who is "passing the threat to the prey being played", naturally will not express sympathy.

Without any pause, he directly asked the question he had imagined in advance:

"Do you know Chuck?"

On the other side of the microphone, the male voice instantly changed from irritability and dissatisfaction to alertness and seriousness:

"You... who are you?"

Obviously, the other party knew who this "Chuck" represented.

According to the timeline, it will take some time for the man on the other end of the phone to sell the land after the haunted house was burned down in the newspaper.

The story about Chuck and the "spring trap" may not be clear.

Considering that the "second night" is about to end and there is not much time left, Gao Yi will naturally not explain it in a good tone.

He lowered his voice and poured intimidation and majesty into his words:

"Now I am asking questions! Do you know Chuck, the owner of "Chuck's Haunted House"?!"

It is not known whether the label ability of "Scream" provides enough deterrence, or Gao Yi is extremely good at this kind of performance.

Anyway, from the ending, the man on the other end of the phone was successfully deterred and no longer dared to question.

After pausing for two seconds, as if to wake himself up from his sleep, the male voice began to speak again:

"I know him, we used to work together, but we haven't seen each other for a long time... Did something happen to him?"

"He's dead."

Although in horror movies, at this time, you should add a sentence like "It's your turn next."

But considering that his mission of gathering intelligence has not yet been completed, Gao Yi still held back.

It doesn't matter, I'll call my friends at the Investigation Bureau later, there will be plenty of opportunities to scare them...

When the man on the other end of the phone was in shock, Gao Yi didn't give him any extra time to react, and the next fierce questioning also came:

"Don't delay! Tell me your name, where you were last night, and your address and family situation immediately!"

This series of questions is naturally not to expect the other party to give a clear and coherent answer directly.

Gao Yi's purpose is to make the other party panic and give the most critical information - the other party's name.

Anyway, the destination of the "third night" must be a certain day in the past, as long as it is confirmed who the land seller disguised as Chuck is.

More investigation work can be done later.

As expected, the man on the other end of the phone was completely panicked and stuttered, and he couldn't say anything for a long time.

But at the last moment, he still made the most critical self-introduction:

"I, I am Stanley..."

Stanley? The partner who had worked with Chuck to open "Chuck and Stanley Pizza Restaurant"?

Gao Yi certainly still remembered this name, and there was a special introduction to this former partner in the brochure.

Because of an incident in 1987, he and Chuck parted ways.

Was it him...

In the last few seconds before the white light flashed, Gao Yi ignored Stanley's questioning on the other side of the microphone, threw away the rotary phone in his hand that was transformed by the tag ability, and fell into thought.

I always feel that the story of this copy is not as simple as it seems on the surface...

But in any case, I have to wait until the "third night" to study it.
