Aoba Office

I don't know how long I stood there.

When I came to my senses, I was looking at the door.

I walked over step by step and held the door handle.

Is it inside?

Ye Qing, are you in there?

still……

I can't imagine it anymore.

The wrist turned slowly and soon encountered resistance.

There is a hint of coolness on the back of my hand.

I turned around sharply, and there was nothing around me. However, I did feel a chill on the back of my hand.

The door didn't open and I didn't turn it anymore, but it wasn't because it was locked, it was because of the feeling in my hand.

I let go of my hand, "Ye Qing?"

As soon as I finished speaking, I held my breath.

Is it around? Is Ye Qing still there?

I heard my heartbeat, and the feeling of blood flowing in my veins was transmitted to my whole body.

After waiting for a minute, I didn't get a response. I was a little disappointed and scared again.

Was the previous feeling an illusion? Or is it just the wind blowing on the back of your hand?

I gritted my teeth and tried to reach for the door handle again.

This time, as soon as I held my hand, I felt my forehead light up, as if I had been patted by a cold hand.

I touched my forehead and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"You're here...that's great! You...yesterday..." My words were stuck.

Although Ye Qing doesn't like to talk to others, if something really happens, he will still show up and not hesitate to say a few words.

But until now, he hasn't shown up or even said a word.

My heart became heavy.

"Is it because of what happened yesterday? Because you want to save me..." I felt guilty.

Speaking of which, Ye Qing really saved me many times. And this time I obviously dragged Ye Qing down.

It felt like a cool breeze was blowing on my forehead again.

I smiled bitterly.

Ye Qing and I don't have such a deep understanding. What exactly he meant, I couldn't figure out.

But I know that Ye Qing is not that kind of hypocritical person.

"Thank you." I said solemnly, not mentioning it again.

I glanced at the door next to me, "Is this because the original spell failed? The things inside..."

Ye Qing stopped me from opening the door. It seemed that the things inside were still there. However, I really didn't feel the same scary atmosphere as before. All the yin energy in the office also disappeared.

This should also be related to what happened yesterday, right?

Those ghosts were sucked in. The office was so close that they must have been affected.

I guess the thing inside is still there, but without the Yin Qi, it may be severely damaged, but it's still not something I can handle.

Even, I always had doubts about what was inside.

Is it a monster that Ye Qing cannot destroy, or is it something he wants to save?

It is not surprising to have such speculation.

Wu Ling, Liu Miao, and even Ye Qing himself could not see their bodies alive or dead. All I see now is Ye Qing's ghost. His body may be behind this door.

Ye Qing was obviously not prepared to tell me the answer. Gu Mo and Xuan Qing had also refused to answer my question before, and even said some unfathomable words. Judging from Ye Qing's current performance, this thing is indeed ridiculously dangerous. Yesterday's huge battle did not kill him. Ye Qing is also ridiculously strong. He has been in close contact with that alien space and can still exist and move freely.

I saw that Ye Qing had stopped moving again. I was afraid that I couldn't do anything to help him now, so I could only say: "In that case, I'll leave first. You...if you need my help in any way, just ask."

The office was very quiet.

My footsteps were the only sound in the office.

After closing the door and leaving, I looked back at the door before going downstairs.

I was late for work today because I wasted some time at the office.

The thin ones asked me out of curiosity what was going on, and I told them the truth.

"Oh my god, what a big scene!" The thin man was excited, but he was very scared and excited.

The wave formed by a bunch of ghosts made the thin man tremble and his voice lowered subconsciously.

"You have narrowly escaped death." Guo Yujie looked at me, "How many times has Ye Qing been your savior?"

"Not that many times." Although I was grateful to Ye Qing, I still felt embarrassed when Guo Yujie asked so bluntly.

"The main reason is that Brother Qi is always in danger." Fatty said.

Guo Yujie added: "You too."

The fat man is depressed. He has been hospitalized a lot recently, all with traumatic injuries, plus he died once. The most unlucky among the five of us is the fat man.

Guo Yujie continued to hit the target: "Your ability is also very dangerous and may attract more things similar to Nian Beast."

I patted the fat man on the shoulder.

The fat man held his head and sighed.

"If this is the case now, those three ghosts are dead, and there will be no way to investigate the thing in the subway in depth." Chen Xiaoqiu did not participate in our gossip and got down to business.

This is absolutely true.

We don’t even know what the things in the subway are.

Chen Xiaoqiu continued: "The police station asked something about the humanoid figure that Lin Qi saw."

"What?" We all cheered up.

"There are rumors in the subway company that the tunnel is haunted, and that ghost is the technician Dou Xiaowu who died in it before," Chen Xiaoqiu said.

Dou Xiaowu was a maintenance worker during his lifetime and was responsible for the daily security inspection of the subway. People in their position work night shifts, waiting for the subway to stop operating, to check the safety of trains and subway tracks.

Dou Xiaowu did not die accidentally during this process, but committed suicide.

He secretly obtained a spare key, and when the subway was about to end its operation that day, he entered the tunnel from the ground entrance of the escape passage and waited there. When the subway was approaching, he stepped out of the evacuation platform and was right next to the high-speed train. He was instantly carried away, hit the wall and broke his neck.

His body was discovered later during maintenance.

"Is he the ghost?" Guo Yujie asked, "Why did he commit suicide?"

"My brother-in-law thinks this case is suspicious. There were no witnesses or surveillance videos to completely record Dou Xiaowu's death. What I just said are inferences made by the police based on the situation at the scene. But in fact, there is another possibility."

"Murder?" Fatty said, "If he didn't jump out and hit the train, but was pushed..."

Chen Xiaoqiu nodded, "Being pushed, chased, or forced... these are all possible."

"Why did your brother-in-law suspect this?" asked the thin man. "Didn't the policeman who handled the case rule out this possibility?"

"There is no such manifestation in the evidence. The testimonies of the subway employees at the time all said that he committed suicide. According to them, before the accident, Dou Xiaowu's behavior changed somewhat. He suddenly became silent, became more vigilant, and avoided people. . The police investigated this line, but found nothing, and finally had to close the case with suicide. Now some old employees said that after Dou Xiaowu died and the tunnel started to be haunted, how many of the maintenance workers in his class were related? Their behavior was suspicious. Those people quickly resigned and left the subway company." Chen Xiaoqiu answered.
