Returning from the abyss

Chapter 6

Yin Lian and Lu Ning each lay on a bed to rest for a while, and also chatted about their own affairs.

"I feel like I have forgotten a lot of things, but they are all fragments. My parents were very kind to me. When I was young, I didn't like sports. They took me to see art exhibitions to learn Go. In short, everything depends on me. I am afraid now when I think about it. They have spoiled me." Lu Ning smiled unconsciously when she thought about the past, "I did gain some level in chess, not only Go, but also chess and so on. I took part in a few I won the first prize in the competition, and they put my trophy in the most conspicuous position in the living room, and praised it when guests came, which made me feel embarrassed later, and secretly moved the trophy to the bedroom.”

"They are really good parents." Yin Lian said with emotion.

"Yeah, they were very worried when I went to college. I think... I'm probably the kind of child who grew up in happiness. The chess teacher taught me to concentrate, and the calligraphy and painting teacher taught me to raise my spirit. It's like everyone They all treat me well."

As Lu Ning spoke, she suddenly turned her head, with an unprecedented seriousness on her face.

"Sister Yin Lian, do you understand? Even if it's for my parents, teachers and friends, I still want to live, leave this haunted place, I absolutely can't die here."

"We don't want to die here." Yin Lian said with certainty.

Lu Ning smiled: "Sister Yin Lian has something you can't let go of, right?"

"Of course, didn't I say that? Our company is about to go public. It's a business that we started to operate slowly when we were college students. In this way, the fruit is about to form now, and I want to go back and pick it."

"I'll take a look at the products of Sister Yin Lian's company when I go back. What do you guys do?"

"Communication equipment...we have a little cooperation with the military."

Speaking of this, Yin Lian's face became brighter.

"Although it was a coincidence, the connection with the military that time also showed the strength of our products, and because of this, it saved a lot of trouble."

"It sounds like sister Yin Lian is also involved."

"Well, but this is within the confidentiality regulations, so I won't say more——Lu Ning, let's stop here for the matter of going back." Yin Lian suddenly interrupted the topic, "Indulging in the past will not help us now, let me ask you , if you mentioned places like ancient houses and western mansions, if the owner hides some secrets, what would you think of first?"

Lu Ning was taken aback for a moment, and her mind started to move quickly: "The basement? The safe? The code? The secret room?"

"Yes, we have found nothing so far except for a basement that is clearly visible. But I don't believe that there is no secret here."

"But...shouldn't this be said to everyone? Only when there are many people..."

"I'm not a selfless person, Lu Ning." Yin Lian interrupted her, "Like everyone here, I want to be one of the last survivors. Gather everyone from the beginning, group into groups, and lead the action Because only in this way can there be no chaos, so that our chances of survival will be better."

"Did you believe what it said from the beginning?"

"I take it as a serious matter, otherwise I would be making a joke of my own life."

"If it's really a prank..."

"... I won't lose anything, and now I know it's not right. Lu Ning, although I have said a lot, I still haven't figured out the law of ghosts killing people. Maybe there is no law. I can't guarantee that I will not have an accident. , so try to talk to you as much as possible, which can be regarded as passing on my thoughts about the future."

Lu Ning frowned: "Why did you suddenly say such an unlucky thing?"

"Because... things may be more serious than I thought."

At this moment, there were suddenly disorderly footsteps from the corridor outside, and many people shouted loudly. Yin Lian quickly sat up from the bed, listened intently, and then sighed.

"problem occurs."

The doorway of one of the three rooms away from Lu Ning and the others was already crowded with people. Two men dressed as singers in Yu Zhisong's team stopped the people outside the room. Standing at the end of the small corridor that entered the door, his expression was no longer as relaxed as before.

"That woman died." The nouveau riche said coolly, and was immediately grabbed by the collar.

"Everyone is dead and you still say sarcastic remarks!"

This is the last person in Yu Zhisong's team. He is a tall boy with pimples on his face. He is usually not very good at talking. When he stood up at this time, Lu Ning realized that his face and eye circles were red.

"what happened?"

Yin Lian's voice had already stabilized the morale of the army. Yu Zhisong waved his hand to let the two people at the door let Yin Lian and Lu Ning in, and then they saw what was going on inside the room.

The only young woman in Yu Zhisong's team, the young man who cooked for everyone before, collapsed on the bed with a terrified and desperate face. She was wearing the large bathrobe provided in the room, and her throat was cut open. Blood was still gurgling out of the slit, a sharp razor blade fell beside her, and there was a small cosmetic bag by her hand, the lipstick, eyebrow pencil, small mirror and other things in it seemed to have fallen on the bed because of panic And on the floor, it could be seen that there were traces of a moment of struggle.

"Yes, is this bathrobe, we also wear it, and we will die if we wear it?"

"She was fine when she left, why was she being followed by a ghost!"

"Stop making noise!" Yu Zhisong suddenly roared.

After the crowd was quiet for a moment, their voices became louder.

"Why are you so fierce! You can't protect your companions well!"

"Who is to blame for the arrogant virtue!"

"We haven't confirmed that it was murdered by a ghost. How did you determine it so quickly?" Yu Zhisong turned cold. He is familiar with scary things, and now that he said it, people were stunned immediately.

"What... what do you mean?" A follower under the nouveau riche asked tremblingly.

"The door is not locked, and the bathrooms in every room are equipped with razor blades. Anyone who comes in can commit crimes. How do you know that this is the work of a ghost? What if someone thinks that she has some treasure on her and wants to kill her?" Yu Zhisong sneered, "The reason I don't let you in is to prevent someone from destroying the scene. If a human being commits a crime, we must leave some evidence and let me know...you don't need to do anything, I personally killed him!"

His words were full of ferocity, and even if someone suspected him, he dared not speak out at all.

"Yu Zhisong, control yourself."

"Yes, nine times out of ten this time it was indeed done by ghosts."

Yin Lian and Lu Ning stopped Yu Zhisong from acting impulsively.

Now only their words can make Yu Zhisong calm down, and after a while, he heard his somewhat dull response: "How do you say?"

"The hair is still wet. He was indeed killed after returning from the bath. The cause of death was cutting his throat. He did it while he was changing into a bathrobe and was about to put on makeup again, but judging from the wound, it was a ghost."

"It's a ghost? Can this be seen?"

It's not that Yu Zhisong doesn't believe Lu Ning, it's just that the amount of information this time is a bit too much.

"That's not true." Lu Ning pointed to the right hand of the deceased, "Her lipstick fell on this side, and the mirror fell on that side, indicating that she was right-handed, and the blade was also near the elbow of her right hand. From left to right from deep to shallow, a knife to the end, this is actually more in line with the scars of suicide, but she has no reason to commit suicide, right? Then the only explanation I can explain is that the ghost possessed her and drove her to commit suicide, and then left before she died That explains it."

"You mean... ghosts will possess themselves when they kill people?"

"Another piece of evidence is that Lu Ning and I have been in a nearby room before, and the sound insulation here is not very good. If someone really came to kill him, it is impossible not to hear any movement—at least there must be screaming." ?” Yin Lian added.

"But if you cover your mouth..."

Lu Ning sighed, let Yin Lian sit on another bed, pinched her right hand, and gestured: "Even if you want to cover your mouth and sit on the side of the bed, if you want to move easily, you must approach from behind. Cover your mouth and cut your throat with your right hand—not to mention that the wounds formed by this method should be from shallow to deep. It is very difficult to attack without being discovered through the bed that is about half a meter wide, and it can also prevent the other party from sending out Any movement is really unlikely."

Unless someone who has practiced kung fu or is proficient in fighting - Lu Ning didn't say this.

Yu Zhisong seemed to be convinced too.

"My condolences, her death is not meaningless, at least we know that this ghost can possess the body and prevent people from making a sound before death." Yin Lian comforted him.

"So scary? Then how do we deal with it! Isn't this invincible?" The white-collar screamed outside.

"Do you still need to ask? Hold together - stare at each other! If there is any change, hold him down!" The irritable man curled his lips with a look of disdain.

Although the words are rough, this is indeed the solution that Lu Ning thought of.

"Oh...thank you very much." Yu Zhisong shook his head and let the two people at the door come in.

"Let me say a word, you seem to have known each other before? If you just met not long ago, you probably wouldn't have reached this point." Seeing the sad look on each of their faces, Lu Ning couldn't help asking.

"We are alumni..." Yu Zhisong pointed to the two people, "Yang Na helped their band write a lot of songs, I can be regarded as their investor, although the grades are different, but it is also because of a goal. Yang Na Na is usually a bit of a nerd, and she doesn't dare to listen to the audience's reactions to the songs she writes, but she really helped us a lot...shit!"

Yu Zhisong slammed his fist on the table and gritted his teeth.

Watching Yu Zhisong and the others help Yang Na close her eyes, and then wrapped the body in a sheet and put it on the bed, Yin Lian and Lu Ning retreated silently.The tall boy at the door had red eye circles, Yu Zhisong was the only one who didn't introduce him, but judging from his expression, he probably had a lot to do with everyone.

only……

"Pity."

Only Lu Ning could hear Yin Lian's whisper.
