Chapter 335 A World Cut in Two

"Sir, as you ordered, all the fireworks for our anniversary celebration have been set off in advance.

I took a huge risk. I can't stay in Shanming City anymore. Do you think your balance is..."

It was still the hidden alley outside Jiangbei Park Street.

The middle-aged man who had appeared behind Ji Li before looked expectantly at the man who was changing clothes in front of him.

Ji Li took off his work clothes and pressed them with a stone slab. He leaned on a cane and looked expressionlessly at the face that had forgotten fear because of greed.

He didn't say anything but put his hand into his arms. This move made the middle-aged man happier and the fat on his face trembled a few times.

When Ji Li came to him before, he generously gave him a bag of gold beans. Now he finally waited for the second half of the huge sum.

With this money, he can completely change cities and live a life without worries about food and clothing.

He even thought in his mind that not long ago, he went in and out of high-end places with a few beautiful young women around him.

Unfortunately, his thoughts ended there. The next moment, he convulsed all over, foamed at the mouth, and fell to the ground, fainting.

Ji Li did not have the other half of the gold bean in his hand, but a black electric baton.

If the middle-aged man was familiar with Ji Li, he should know a principle: don't make a deal with Ji Li.

The sound of electric shock was inconspicuous in the alley. Ji Li bent down and searched the man's body. He did not find the gold beans he had prepaid before, but took out the car keys.

Ji Li pondered for a while and put the car keys back. He remembered that he could not drive.

He could not kill this man. According to previous speculation, killing might be one of the opportunities to attract ghosts.

So after hesitating again and again, he chose to throw him into the trash can and wait until he needed to see a ghost.

After all this, Ji Li was very tired and his physical condition was always bad.

Although the hotel could treat his injuries after each mission, the psychological trauma could not be repaired.

Ji Li let out a long sigh, leaned against the wall, took out a cigarette box from his arms, and forced himself to smoke a cigarette despite the pain on his face.

At the same time, he took out his mobile phone and called Yu Guo who was in the hotel at the moment.

"What's wrong, Ji Li?"

Yu Guo answered the phone quickly, with a somewhat surprised tone, obviously not expecting Ji Li to call him at this time.

"Help me check two people.

One is called 'Wang Ruili', a dead person who worked at Shanming University of Finance and Economics. I need her detailed identity information, including her resume.

The second person is called 'Gao Yan', 'Gao' should be the 'Gao' in the surname, but I don't know which 'Yan' it is.

Try to help me find them, both of them are very important to me.

If time permits, help me find the second person first."

Ji Li held the cigarette in one hand and rubbed his temple. The pain was always tormenting him, and it was attacking his mind all the time.

This made him need to put in more effort when thinking, and it was easier to get into a state of fatigue.

Yu Guo nodded in agreement and promised to give an answer tonight at the latest.

After hanging up the phone, Ji Li leaned his head against the wall, and the cold feeling made him feel a little more comfortable.

There were no bright stars in the sky tonight, only dark clouds and the snow that was gradually getting bigger.

After a while, Ji Li left the alley, took a taxi, and drove away.

Today's story is still not over. He still remembered that Fang Shenyan said that Tongguan and his team went to check Shanming University of Finance and Economics.

…

November 18, 2015, this was the first day of the mission and the first night.

Tongguan, Yu Xing, and Yang Shouyi were quietly looking at the man in front of them who was so seriously injured that he could not walk independently.

This was a small room of more than ten square meters with four beds, and four men were sitting on the beds.

In the middle of them, in the middle of the room, there was a large table made up of two small tables.

On it was a brand new card and a plate.

In the center of the plate, there stood a white candle that was constantly burning.

The candlelight was the only light source in the dim room. It illuminated the entire room, resisting the darkness outside, and also illuminated the faces of the four men present.

This is the B-2 dormitory building of Shanming University of Finance and Economics, female dormitory 1012, the innermost end of the tenth floor.

It was also the dormitory where Mu Nianmei lived fifteen years ago.

"So... you have seen a ghost and are familiar with its killing rules?"

Yu Xing sat in bed A1, next to the main door of the dormitory, belonging to the bed on the left.

The bed under him was clean snow-white, with a little pink cherry blossom decoration on it, and a poster of a domestic male star was posted on the head of the bed.

Directly opposite him was bed B1, where Jie Zheng, who had escaped death, leaned against the foot of the bed with a pale face, his left hand and right leg wrapped in a thick layer of gauze.

His lips trembled, and he looked at the candle that was clearly burning but not waxing.

"I have a suspicion.

When Ji Li was taken back to the haunted house, the knife I saw was covered with red rust, as if it was a knife from many years ago.

The furnishings and dust thickness in the room, including the decorations in the corridor, were clearly configured more than ten years ago.

But this haunted house, in the world of 2015..."

At this time, A2, who was next to Yu Xing's bed, raised his head and responded:

"But Xiao Qian and Gao Hongqian were pulled back to the year 2000 when they were attacked.

What is your guess?"

Jie Zheng hesitated. He experienced the ghost killing people with his senses, but later learned that Xiao Qian and Gao Hongqian were pulled back to the year 2000 in another way.

This situation obviously represents two different methods, or abilities, which made him think more.

"Is there a possibility that there are two ghosts in this mission..."

Tongguan was silent.

He looked at the candlelight quietly, which was not dazzling, and his heart was already turbulent.

After arriving at Shanming University of Finance and Economics, they went to the library first. After confirming that the task card was a borrowing card, they went to look for the borrowing list.

But in fact, they did not find the borrowing list from October 5 to November 18, 2015.

This list was taken away in advance...

With Tongguan's character, he would never pin all his hopes on Xiao Qian Duye's actions.

So he, Yu Xing and Yang Shouyi prepared to go to Mu Nianmei's former dormitory to take a look.

Just at this time, Xie Zheng, who was seriously injured, returned, and the four of them gathered together and went to 1012.

But, it was precisely because of this action that the four of them were trapped in this female dormitory.

Countless methods were not enough to open it. This room seemed to be only for entry but not exit.

There was no one here, and there was no sound outside the corridor. It seemed that only 1012 and the four of them were left in the whole building.

In the empty dormitory, half an hour ago, a plate appeared, and a burning candle stood in the plate.

What does this mean, no one can understand.

Tongguan's cautious character, no one took the initiative to touch, and could only exchange information first.

So, Xie Zheng's words opened up a new idea for Tongguan.

"Two teams, two cards, two tasks, two highly similar murders, two ghosts..."

At this point, not only Tongguan, but even everyone present realized that everything in this mission seemed to have doubles.

Even time and space.

After a moment, Tongguan spoke in a low voice, like mumbling to himself but heard by everyone.

"So, if there are really two ghosts...

Are we facing a ghost that kills with known senses, or another mysterious and obviously more powerful ghost?"
