Chapter 14 Disappearance
“This is not a vacation.”
The fat man seemed to have thought of something, his face turned pale and said: “So you mean Sister Nuan just now is a ghost?”
“I’m afraid that’s the case.” Jiang Cheng nodded.
“Then it’s really Sister Nuan, and the girl named Chen Xiaomeng in the house, isn’t it?”
"Okay," Jiang Cheng interrupted him and said after a few seconds, "Let's go to the living room."
In order not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings, Jiang Cheng did not deliberately step lightly when he went down the stairs, but when he When he and the fat man came downstairs, there was only a burning fire in the fireplace.
Fan Li, who was supposed to be by the fireplace, disappeared.
The fat man was a little scared and asked: "Could something happen to him too?"
Jiang Cheng glanced around and then said: "Come out, we are humans, not ghosts .”
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure as strong as a bear stood up from behind the sofa. Fan Li stared at them with a vigilant face, a sharp knife in his hand reflecting the cold light.
"Why did you come down?" He quickly glanced at the stairs and then focused his eyes on Jiang Cheng's face, "Where are the other two people?"
"Something happened to them."
Fan Li stared at them suspiciously. According to his previous inference, women should be safe in this mission. How could such a thing happen?
The fat man quickly told Fan Li what he had just experienced.
Fan Li's face changed slightly, and then he sighed, "According to what you said, they are probably in danger."
More than just in danger, the fat man thought to himself, I just hope they don't die like this It’s good that Xie Yu is so ugly.
Since the ghost has appeared tonight, relatively speaking, the three people in Jiangcheng are much safer. But after what happened just now, even the fat man lost his sleep.
"Let's take a rest." Jiang Cheng said, "I'm not going to sleep. I'll wake you up in two hours."
Fan Li may have experienced this kind of thing a lot, He got used to it, and anyway he lay down, not on the sofa, but in front of the fireplace.
No one knew whether he was really sleeping, and the sharp knife collected in the kitchen was put away by him and should be hidden somewhere on his body.
In the warmth of the fire, the fat man's nerves began to waver. He had not slept well for a long time, and only the remaining consciousness was still holding on.
He was sitting on the sofa, and the scene in front of him was a little blurry.
When he opened his eyes again, it was already dawn. Jiang Cheng and Fan Li were gathering together and discussing something in a low voice. Jiang Cheng's expression looked about the same as usual, but Fan Li was a little excited from time to time. .
The fat man moved his body, and the sofa made a slight sound of pressure.
Jiang Cheng turned his head, looked at him and said, "Are you awake?"
"Yes." The fat man rubbed his face in embarrassment, "It's dawn, shouldn't we go upstairs to take a look."
“Don’t worry, we’ll wait until it gets light.”
In this way, they waited for about half an hour, during which time the three of them simply ate some bread. The food was barely enough to fill my stomach.
It was all daylight. Jiang Cheng stood up and said it was almost done. The three of them took the things in their hands and started to go upstairs along the stairs.
Fan Li still held the sharp knife from last night, and Jiang Cheng had a rolling pin in his hand. The fat man saw that there was nothing left in the kitchen, so he took the cutting board away and held it against his chest to use as a shield.
The three of them slowly came to the corridor on the second floor and approached the master bedroom little by little.
At this time they were already sure that something must have happened to Sister Nuan and the others.
The door to the master bedroom was opened a third of the way, and there was no sound from inside.
Jiang Cheng stretched out his hand and pushed the door open.
The fat man immediately raised the cutting board.
They were originally prepared to see two corpses, or even a ghost coming towards them, but when the door opened, there was nothing inside.
No bodies, no ghosts, no blood.
Not even a trace of struggle.
The quilts in the room were neatly folded, the things on the tables and chairs were in order, and there was a silk nightgown draped on the sofa, as if the hostess had just left.
"Where are the people?" the fat man asked with wide eyes.
Jiang Cheng went to check under the bed, while Fan Li went to the closet with a sullen face, then the bathroom, and behind the sofa. Finally, they even searched several nearby rooms, including the one where Xie Yu's body was found.
No.
Neither.
The two living people, Sister Nuan and Chen Xiaomeng, seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.
Jiang Cheng thought for a while and suddenly said to Fan Li: "Is there a possibility that the two of them are not dead and have successfully left here?"
"You mean they are over Mission?" Fan Li's face was gloomy, but he still replied after a moment: "The possibility is very small, but this possibility cannot be ruled out. "
The fat man interjected, "If that's the case, how do you explain the ghost we met last night?"
Jiang Cheng knew what the fat man wanted to say, since that ghost If she turned into Sister Nuan and appeared in the master bedroom where Sister Nuan and Chen Xiaomeng were, then they should have encountered it.
Before meeting the ghost last night, Jiang Cheng had been on the second floor. He did not hear the sound of anyone walking in the corridor, which meant that Sister Nuan and Sister Nuan did not leave the room.
The windows in the villa cannot be opened, so there is no possibility of leaving through the windows.
So either Sister Nuan and Sister Nuan had been killed by the ghost, but the bodies were hidden, or Sister Nuan and Sister Nuan had completed their mission before the ghost appeared and left here and returned to the real world. .
As for the way to leave the mission, Fan Li gave his own experience. He said that usually after finding all the clues, a door will appear.
Through that door, you can return to the real world.
But he also emphasized that the door can appear anywhere, but generally it will not be too remote, and most of it is related to important clues in the mission.
"Like the iron door we pushed open in our dream?" Jiang Cheng asked.
Fan Li nodded, "Yes, you can imagine it as a passage connecting the dream world and the real world."
Back in the living room on the first floor, Jiang Cheng sat on the thick carpet, Fan Li and Fatty also sat down, opposite Jiangcheng.
The situation they are facing now is somewhat complicated.
"Okay," Jiang Cheng raised his head and said, "Now let's assume that Sister Nuan and the others have successfully left here. Let's think about how they did it."
The fat man shrank his neck and hesitated: "But why do I think the two of them were killed by ghosts?"
Jiang Cheng looked at him and said coldly: "This question has no meaning. If you insist They have been killed by ghosts, so let’s just wait for death.”
The fat man was frightened by Jiang Cheng’s attitude and did not dare to speak for a while.
Fan Li then nodded and said, "You're right, Sister Nuan and the others must have found a way to leave!"
"So, it's our turn next." Jiang Cheng patted his trouser legs. Stand up. (End of chapter)
