Chapter 1345 Looking for
It’s... Fatty!
Although there had been such speculation before, the sudden sight of this scene in the picture still made Jiang Cheng's body run cold, and his blood vessels seemed to be filled with ice. Luo Yunshan and others were ghosts. That's it, the fat man who was always by his side actually had a problem, and this time he was completely isolated.
Subconsciously, Jiang Cheng turned to look at the fat man. He was still sleeping soundly, as if he knew nothing about what he had been exposed. After a few seconds, Jiang Cheng seemed to suddenly remember something, and immediately looked away, pretending to be calm. He was fiddling with his phone as if he was worried and couldn't sleep, but in fact he couldn't help but feel scared.
He forgot, forgot that the fat man next to him was not a human being. Even though the other person seemed to be sleeping soundly, in fact... it was probably...
Turning on the camera function of his mobile phone, Jiang Cheng pretended to move his arms casually and secretly pointed the camera in the direction of the fat man. During this period, the fat man did not show any abnormality. He still looked careless, with his mouth slightly open and his chest Constantly rising and falling, sleeping soundly.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Cheng felt a little relieved, but after he opened the video he had just recorded, everything came to an abrupt end.
The fat man in the video has completely changed his appearance, with a livid face and a pair of white eyes full of resentment staring at his bed, as if he is worried that his prey will escape.
Who knows how much courage Jiang Cheng used to suppress the fear in his heart and fiddle with his phone with a very natural expression, as if nothing happened.
Jiang Cheng knew in his heart that although the other party did not hurt him for the time being, it did not mean that the other party did not have this intention. The other party just wanted to lead him into the trap they set, but if he was caught by him in the process If he found out, Jiang Cheng was not sure whether he would be so angry that he would kill him.
After calming down, in order to reassure Fatty, Jiang Cheng turned off his phone, lay on the bed, pulled the quilt up to his chin, closed his eyes, and slept.
This is the most correct approach now. What Jiang Cheng is thinking about now is not only how to survive, but also how to break the situation. He is certain that the key to breaking the situation must be related to the mysterious black shadow.
And there is one more thing Jiang Cheng needs to confirm: when did he enter the game?
To be more precise, at what moment were Fatty and the other people around him replaced? And where are the real fat people now?
The first thing Jiang Cheng thought of was the call from Li Bai. She said that the mission was not over. Assuming that what she said was true, there were two types of things that were not over.
The first one is that they are still in the mission world, and everything around them is just an illusion created by the newspaper man.
The second one is that they have indeed left the mission world dominated by the newspaper man and returned to the real world. The current situation they are facing now is a brand new supernatural event.
After thinking about it, Jiang Cheng is more inclined to the second one, which is a brand new supernatural event and has nothing to do with the newspaper man.
The reasons are as follows.
First of all, if they are still in the world where the newspaper man lives, then judging from their own environment, the four survivors have been separated, and each is in a relatively independent world, just like The first level is the state in the mirror.
If this is the case, they will definitely not be able to communicate with each other, and Li Bai has no reason to make a phone call to inform himself that the mission is not over yet.
And the most important point, that bus appeared, and they took that bus back to the real world. No matter how powerful the newspaper man was, he was just the law enforcer on the bus. In essence, he was the same as the other prisoners. Similarly, he is subject to the control of the bus, and he has absolutely no ability to control the bus.
As long as they board that car, it means the mission is over and they are absolutely safe.
Jiang Cheng also thought about whether the so-called bus was fake and just an illusion created by the newspaper man. But soon, he himself overturned this idea. The aura is very special. Jiang Cheng has never felt a similar aura from any ghost or disciple. He can be sure that the car they boarded is real.
Then the problem enters the next stage. They have indeed left the world of the newspaper man and been involved in a brand new supernatural event.
Forget about others, when did the fat man who was always by his side be replaced?
Jiang Cheng first ruled out the two days spent in the studio after leaving the mission, because it was too peaceful. The beginning of all this should be after the night when No. 2 and 3 were found.
It was also from there that they really came into contact with the mysterious disappearance of Xie Ming Mountain. Then they drove all the way to the small town at the foot of Xie Ming Mountain and stayed at the Hengtong Hotel late at night.
Suddenly, Jiang Cheng shuddered, Hengtong Hotel!
It’s this Hengtong Hotel again!
My mind seemed to be torn apart, and pictures played back and forth like a slideshow. In the dream, a mysterious man appeared at Hengtong Hotel. Standing on the top of the second floor of the hotel, this hotel also appeared in the photos of Yao, Shun, and Yu. The same bed sheets in the hotel, and... and the morning when I woke up in the hotel, the hotel was empty, and I was the one who carefully groped all the way downstairs, and the explanation of this by Fatty Luo Yunshan and others was Test yourself and tell yourself Ji Wu has been tricked, and even almost kidnapped himself...
Slowly, all the information was compiled, and all the spearheads pointed at this humble Hengtong Hotel. As time went by, A bold guess took shape in Jiang Cheng's mind. He suspected that he had not woken up at all. Everything he was experiencing now was a dream, and the real him was lying on the bed with an orchid pattern, in Hengtong. In the hotel!
This is exactly what the mysterious man wants to remind himself!
Jiang Cheng once heard the saying that dreams are divided into different levels, and the deeper the dream, the more realistic it is and the more difficult it is to wake up. He even suspected that he would die in such a dream. , then you will die in reality, just like Yao, Shun, and Yu.
Cold sweat broke out behind him. The mysterious man appeared several times, always before danger came. Although Jiang Cheng was not sure of the identity of the other party, he was undoubtedly on his side.
After thinking about this, Jiang Cheng felt a lot more at ease. He now had a trustworthy companion in this world. Now there was only one question left. What did the three traces drawn by the mysterious man mean?
The other party must be trying to tell him something, and it is very important. Jiang Cheng is convinced that this is the key to breaking the situation.
After thinking about it, I had no clue. While thinking about it, Jiang Cheng fell into a deep sleep.
Early the next morning, Jiang Cheng was awakened by a dull knock on the door. Jiang Cheng was really awakened, and Fatty also wanted to be proficient in his acting skills. If Jiang Cheng hadn't already seen through his identity, he would have just Judging from the reaction, it would not arouse his suspicion at all.
After opening the door, No. 2 and No. 13 barged in. His eager look gave Jiang Cheng a bad premonition, "I just received the disappearance. Something happened in the town. Mr. Luo is leading people to deal with it. He told us not to go anywhere and that he would come to us soon."
The fat man looked a little panicked and couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Do you know what happened?"
"It's not clear yet, but it should be related to us." No. 13 looked at the corridor outside the door from time to time. Getting up was also very stressful.
Long-term experience has made Jiang Cheng very clear about how he should behave now so as not to arouse suspicion, but he is already certain that Fatty, No. 2, and No. 13, these three guys all have problems. It's a ghost pretending to be a ghost, and the so-called accident is just a cover, and the real purpose must be related to himself.
After understanding this, the overall mission plot became much clearer. He was trying his best to cooperate with the other party in acting, but he wanted to see what these guys were up to.
He was looking for an opportunity to get rid of these people reasonably, and then planned to go back to Hengtong Hotel to take a look. He was sure there would be clues there.
The waiting period was quite torturous. Finally, half an hour later, there was a rush of footsteps in the corridor. Luo Yunshan appeared. But at this moment, his muscles were tense and his eyes were full of vigilance. "I sent him here last night." Where are the people who protect you?”
This attitude makes No. 13 very dissatisfied. , "Mr. Luo, what are you talking about, the people you sent, and then you asked us?"
In order to show his sincerity, Jiang Cheng took the initiative to tell Luo about the knock on the door last night. At the same time, Yunshan also gave a guess, saying that he felt that there might be something wrong with the people outside, so he did not open the door.
Hearing this, Luo Yunshan took a deep breath and nodded affirmatively to Jiang Cheng, "Very good. Fortunately, you didn't open the door. Your feeling was not wrong. Those people did have a problem, because...because they were supposed to come Those people are dead."
"Dead?"
"Yeah." Luo Yunshan's face became even worse, "I only received the news this morning. Someone found their bodies. They died in the room. They were lying on the bed, with... and Yao, Shun, and Yu. Their death status is consistent, and it was not them who responded to my message last night.”
"This was an oversight on my part. I didn't expect something like this to happen. They are the strongest group of people under my command. How...how could they die in such a daze?"
< br>"Where were their deaths?" Jiang Cheng asked.
Luo Yunshan raised his head, "It's in the hotel where you stayed on the first day."
Hengtong Hotel...
Worried that the other party was testing him, Jiang Cheng did not show too many emotional fluctuations on his face. He just nodded pretendingly, "That's it... I want to go there and take a look. Maybe I will find something."
But this time, Luoyunshan But he shook his head helplessly, "Not now. The higher ups are very concerned about what's going on in the mountains and have arranged for another group of people to investigate. Now the hotel has been blocked, and even I can't get in."
“Our mission is to enter again Xi Xie Ming Mountain, find those missing people, you and I will replenish the equipment first, and we will set off when everything is ready," Luo Yunshan said in an unquestionable tone, "This time there is another group of people besides us. , they are the second ladder that was originally prepared Team, I didn’t expect it to come in handy.”
Under the leadership of Luo Yunshan, everyone went to eat something casually, and then were taken to several off-road vehicles. While carefully checking the equipment, there was a white oil drum on the ground.
There are several tents scattered near the off-road vehicle. The tents vary in size. Some can accommodate people, and some can only store things. Jiang Cheng opened a smaller tent and saw several black tents inside. One of the zippers in the large handbag was not tightened, and the black muzzle was facing outward. The others must be matching ammunition.
Jiang Cheng, who was worried that he couldn't get rid of it, had an idea at this moment. Although there was some risk, compared to entering the mountains, he could only take a gamble. He took advantage of the opportunity when everyone was busy organizing their equipment and quietly picked up a barrel of gasoline. It was poured on a handbag inside a small tent and then set alight with a lighter.
With gasoline to aid combustion, the fire broke out instantly and engulfed the entire tent. At the same time, with the help of the wind, it got out of control and threatened to ignite all nearby tents.
In addition to food and medicine, the rest are dangerous goods such as guns, ammunition, and oil. Once the fire spreads, the consequences will be disastrous.
The intensifying fire attracted everyone's attention, and thick smoke was everywhere. After Jiang Cheng shouted at the top of his voice a few times like everyone else to put out the fire, he saw the opportunity and sneaked away.
This place is not big. He remembered the way he came and ran all the way towards the hotel. He didn’t believe Luo Yunshan’s words. The way to expose their lies was very simple. He only had to go to the hotel to see for himself. You'll know it at a glance.
The journey was not far, but to his surprise, a cordon was set up outside the Hengtong Hotel. He did not expect that these things were staged in full, making it look like a real thing.
He bypassed the cordon and entered the hotel. At this time, there was no one inside. On the first floor, he saw the cordon again. Several rooms were sealed and there was a chair outside. , seems to be used by police officers on duty, but no one was seen at this time.
After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Cheng decided to take a look.
But when he entered the room, he was suddenly stunned. There were only two beds in the room, but there were people on both beds at the moment. To be precise, what he could see intuitively were two humanoid bulges, because these two Everyone was covered with a layer of white cloth, covering their faces.
Really... dead?
Jiang Cheng couldn't help but feel a little dazed. He stepped forward and lifted the white cloth. Under the white cloth was a man's face. The man had his eyes closed and his expression was unusually peaceful, as if he was asleep.
But the body is already cold, he is definitely a dead person.
Jiang Cheng checked several other rooms, and the results were the same. There were 8 corpses in total, all of which were consistent with what Luo Yunshan said.
At this moment, Jiang Cheng was shaken, but this was not his destination. More importantly, it was on the second floor, the room where he once lived.
According to his guess, the moment he opened the door to his room, he could see himself lying on the bed, and even...even Fatty, No. 2, and No. 13, they were all there!
This is a dream.
As long as...as long as you find yourself sleeping, you can wake up from the dream!
I hope so. (End of this chapter)
