Weird Talker

Chapter 259 Death on schedule
In the back seat of the red car, Yue Qiuchi's face was pale.

This "Xia Nan" is a ghost!
She is absolutely sure!
The first call just now showed unknown, which was the same as when the previous "her" called.

But when the real Xia Nan called, there was an obvious number displayed, although the number was very strange.

Moreover, what the "Xia Nan" just said was: "Miss Liu has already cleared the customs. She told me her contact information. Come back quickly! Miss Liu herself doesn't know how to pass the customs. We need to discuss it together."

At that time, she felt that something was wrong, but thinking about it now, the phrase "Come back soon" is too strange... It is impossible for anyone to know where I am, only the ghost knows.

However, "Xia Nan" used words such as coming back.

It was also very strange when he called back the past for the second time, "he" even exposed himself directly, saying "wait for me where I am".

And the last unsolicited call is the real Xia Nan!

but……

She dared not move.

Li Gui pretending to be "Xia Nan" was driving, Yue Qiuchi couldn't figure out what was going on.

If "he" is a ghost, "he" has found me now, why didn't he do it?
Could it be... is it that my scheduled death has not yet arrived?

But it's not right, if there is a predetermined date of death, what's the point of attacking me on the mahjong table before?
If the date of death is scheduled, according to the rules of the game, I should die.

Is it just to scare me?Because it's not my turn to die, so even if I get cursed, it won't matter?
Yue Qiuchi thought over and over again, but still couldn't figure it out, but she didn't dare to act rashly. No matter what kind of drama this ghost is singing, she can only play with "him" now.

At this time, Xia Nan's voice came from the mobile phone, his voice was extremely low: "Miss Yue, have you encountered it? If yes, please answer yes, if not, answer yes."

"it is good!"

Yue Qiuchi didn't expect that Xia Nan didn't hang up the phone, and not only kept listening, but also gave her advice.

On the other side, Xia Nan huddled in the corner of his house. He didn't allow any light to appear in the room. Even when he had to press the screen to turn on when making a call, he would move the phone away to try not to be illuminated by the light.

Hearing what Yue Qiuchi said at this moment, Xia Nan was thinking quickly.

The curse has found Yue Qiuchi, but she is not dead...

Ghosts don't let humans go without reason.

Although it is the accompanying creature of the curse, it is no different from a ghost. Yue Qiuchi is still alive, which can only mean that it can't kill her now, or... it has other purposes, such as using Yue Qiuchi to find other people to kill her in one go ?
Anyway... that thing is with Yue Qiuchi now, but it didn't hurt her.

This seemed to coincide with the phone call I had with Su Yu before, as well as my speculations.

A few of us have already...

----

5 minutes ago.

Su Yu's cell phone, who had just escaped from the nightclub, rang, and the cell phone was exuding astonishing malice, so he didn't answer it.

Then, he heard the voice in his mind——

"Liu Jingqing, you have cleared the customs."

Is this the first time?

The first thing he thought of was not that Liu Jingqing had actually passed the level.

It's the first time a player has cleared the game, and [Tongjie] will report it?And it was also the first time that a player had cleared the game, but the other players in the strange story had to continue.

This seems to indicate that this time [Death as scheduled] seems to be a five-person team game, but it is fundamentally an individual game.

Whether other players pass the level or not has little to do with me.

However, since someone has cleared the level, they can learn from the other party's thinking.

But at this moment, his cell phone rang again!
This time there was no overflowing malice in the phone, so even though the number was unfamiliar, he still pressed to answer.

"Hello? Is it Su Yu?"

It was Xia Nan who called?

"Yes."

"I'm Xia Nan. You should have heard that Ms. Liu has already cleared the customs. She doesn't know the reason for the customs clearance, but the customs clearance site is at her home. I'm going to check it out. Do you want to come?"

"Come on!" Su Yu's eyes lit up halfway through hearing it. This is a good opportunity.

"Okay, I'll send you the address."

"Do you know Mr. Cao Xiangrong's contact information?"

"He's dead." Su Yu replied.

Xia Nan was silent for a moment: "Really? It seems that you have already checked."

"Can you tell me how Mr. Cao Xiangrong died?"

"I don't know." Su Yu really didn't know, but after a pause, he still expressed his guess, "But... the number, this is my guess."

"When he was welcoming the stage of the ghost talk, there were too many people around him, and the number of people may be the basis for the order of death."

How many people?

Xia Nan raised his brows, held his mobile phone and said to him: "My guess is the light. In the ten seconds of darkness when the strange talk came, something came. I'm still confirming. So far, I haven't been cursed at all. Affected, there is no abnormality happening around me."

"You've been in the dark?" Su Yu asked.

"Well," Xia Nan nodded, "When the strange talk came, the light was wiped out. I wanted to try to restore the situation at that time, so I kept turning off the light."

Is it light... Su Yu was also silent.

If it is true, then the nightclub is indeed a brightly lit and crowded place, no wonder Cao Xiangrong died without the slightest maneuvering room.

"Why do you think there will be ten seconds of darkness before the ghost talk? I saw... even the moon was extinguished." Su Yu raised his head and glanced at the moon, his gray hair was a little conspicuous under the moonlight.

The moon... went out? !
Xia Nan just found out about this kind of thing, so this is more certain... However, after connecting all his speculations, the answer that appeared in Xia Nan's heart was an extremely terrifying guess!

"Su Yu... Tell me, in those ten dark seconds, will we..."

"already dead?"

A gust of cold wind blew from every corner of the street, making Su Yu's skin crawl.

Are we already dead?
Hearing these words, Su Yu's head buzzed, as if he had received a huge shock!

"I've thought about it for a long time. This strange talk is called [death on schedule], but we don't know the "schedule" at all. How could it be "scheduled"? If the curse hits us at any time and causes our death to be considered as scheduled, This strange talk loses its fundamental logic of existence.”

Xia Nan said word by word, his eyes sparkled: "So I think, there is only one possibility."

"We are already dead, at the moment when the strange talk comes."

"Already... at the same time, died as scheduled."
