Chapter 148 Hope
Chapter 148 Hope
During lunch, Bai Yanliang asked Gao Fei for a favor.
"A man who is between 1.7 and 1.75 meters tall and missing a little finger on his right hand?" Gao Fei stuffed noodles into his mouth and looked at Bai Yanliang in surprise, "Is he related to this case?"
Bai Yanliang shook his head and said: "No, but the car accident I encountered may be related to him. I would like to ask you to help check and see if there is such a person in the police information."
Gao Fei looked at Bai Yanliang blankly. Even though he was talking about it, how could he still not understand that there was something wrong with that seemingly unexpected accident.
"Don't worry! Leave it to me!" Gao Fei said, patting his chest, and then he frowned: "But if that guy doesn't have a criminal record, things will be more difficult to handle..."
Bai Yanliang didn't care, after all, he didn't place all his hopes of finding the mysterious man on the police.
"It doesn't matter, just do your best. I'll leave first. Leave the investigation to Chen Huaiyu to me."
"Hmm!"
……
On the other side, Liangcheng.
Li Mu woke up.
He looked at himself in the mirror. Is that haggard and dying person really him?
"Would you like to... call your parents..."
Li Mu turned to look out the window, thinking.
Liangcheng Police Department specially gave him three days' leave. After all, everyone could see that Li Mu's condition was really bad. His dark circles were very deep, and he obviously didn't get a good rest.
Everyone thought Li Mu was trying too hard, after all, he had always been like this.
But Li Mu himself knew that this was not the case.
Although he worked very hard on cases, he always knew how to plan his time and would leave enough rest time for himself, but... his problem was that the time to fall asleep was getting shorter and shorter.
His brain was very tired, but his body would only sleep for about two hours, and... this time continued to shorten.
This is a very scary thing. The brain wants to sleep, but the body cannot sleep. This contradictory torment has made Li Mu's spirit so bad that Wu Ji has undergone such a big change this time and he has no energy. Organize everyone to conduct analysis.
Normally, he would do this, after all, he is the "first person" who has survived the longest.
If he really didn't have time to organize a discussion, Du Shangjing would initiate it.
But this time, Du Shangjing was also absent.
Du Shangjing and Li Mu have a very good relationship in real life, but this time even Li Mu couldn't contact him.
I hope...no accident will happen to him...
Li Mu opened the quilt and got off the bed.
Although it was just past noon, he knew that he would not be able to sleep today. The strange old man in his dream kept calling him, making it impossible for him to rest.
Li Mu was extremely sure that he had violated some taboo unintentionally and had become a ghost.
Moreover, not in the fog, but in reality.
To Li Mu's own expectation, he thought he would be panicked, even desperate and collapsed, but when he really confirmed that he had seen a ghost, he did not feel such emotions.
This reminded Li Mu of the time when he first entered Wuji.
At that time, when he learned that he would have to constantly deal with evil ghosts and be trapped in a curse forever, his emotions really collapsed.
Fortunately, in the fog three hours ago, there was a person in the same position as him now, whose name was always at the first place.
Only when looking at him could Li Mu cheer up a little. "Everything has an end, and so does the fog set. One day, we will be able to escape the curse..."
This is what he said to Li Mu.
Li Mu has always kept this sentence in his heart. How many times when he was so desperate that he wanted to give up his life, he would think of this sentence.
But now that I think about it, it was just a kind of self-deception...
Now Li Mu had no hope of leaving Wuji, and maybe he was ready to die at any time, so after learning that he had bumped into a ghost, Li Mu was not as panicked as he imagined.
He looked at the time. It was now one-twenty in the afternoon.
Li Mu picked up the clothes on the back of the chair and put them on, and then... turned on his phone.
A text message hangs at the top of the phone screen.
Li Mu clicked on the message. The person who sent the text message was his mother.
"Xiaomu, how have you been in Liangcheng recently? Are you busy at work? You kid, you always don't like to tell me and your father the truth. Your boss told me that you were sick. We called you, and your mobile phone I have to turn off my phone and send you a text message. There is a big temperature difference between morning and evening in Liangcheng. Keeping warm is the most important thing, not only your salary. I sent it home. Mom and your dad have enough money. It’s a good thing to work hard, but don’t push yourself too hard. Some things are not your responsibility alone. You don’t have to shoulder them all... No matter what... as long as they are yours. Both your mother and your father support this idea. You can do it with confidence and don’t worry about us..."
Li Mu quietly read the text message over and over again, and as he read it, a tear fell on the screen.
He raised his head and looked at the ceiling blankly...
Li Mu knew that he couldn't hold on any longer.
He is not afraid of death, but he is afraid that his parents will know about his death.
Maybe he is a good detective, but not a good son.
Li Mu wouldn't want to die if he could, but the old man in his dream was like a tarsal maggot, appearing on time every time he fell asleep.
He couldn't think of any way. When they met in the fog before, he told everyone about his own affairs, and he also had the idea of letting everyone think of a solution together, but unfortunately, everyone was helpless.
Because everyone knows very well that although there are ghosts in this world, there are no gods or Buddhas.
Whether it is East or West, whether it is exorcism or exorcism, all means are useless.
Someone once hid in a temple with a glimmer of hope in an attempt to escape Wuji's call, but in the end, he died miserably...
Li Mu's situation is even more serious.
Because what haunted him was not a ghost in the fog, but a real... real ghost.
Before this, although Li Mu had investigated illusory events in reality, he had never encountered a ghost himself.
Who... can help me in this situation?
Li Mu flashed a personal name in his mind. Although in his opinion, they were all flexible thinkers and calm and calm people, they should be unable to solve the evil ghosts in reality.
Moreover, several people already knew what was happening to them, but they still had no intention of helping. Obviously, they had no choice.
Moreover, there are no rules like those in Fog Set in reality. If there are rules, you can only discover them yourself. There are only a handful of people who can do this in reality.
It is impossible for anyone to risk their lives to help him.
Thinking of this, Li Mu was suddenly startled, and a person passed through his mind.
As for that lunatic, he probably wouldn't care too much about seeing ghosts happening in Wuji or reality. What he cares about seems to be just fun.
After hesitating for a long time, Li Mu held on to his last hope and made a call.
