Seeing its doubtful eyes, Gu Xizhou choked its neck and shook his hands on purpose, pretending to be scared. He whispered, "Can you feel my shaking hands? I'm actually really scared. "
Being choked by Gu Xizhou, it could already hear the sound of bones breaking. It felt terrible …
"I'll let go of your neck now. Can you answer my question?" Gu Xizhou gave it what he thought was a friendly smile.
It: QAQ
Seeing that it nodded desperately, Gu Xizhou let go of his hand.
Because of the strange rule of the Path of Death, Gu Xizhou couldn't make sense of this rule, and at the same time, he felt a lingering fear.
If he hadn't agreed to enter the mission world with Si Yu, he definitely wouldn't have wandered around and followed Si Yu all the time. If he was unlucky, he would have already triggered the Path of Death. He would be dead now.
Thinking of this, Gu Xizhou was naturally in a bad mood.
Gu Xizhou went straight to the point, "Make it simple. How do I find the door?"
It shook its head, "I don't know."
Noticing Gu Xizhou's slightly cold gaze, it felt that something bad might happen.
"Bang!"
A slap landed on its head. It was dumbfounded. It couldn't understand why the person in front of it hit it.
"Ha," Gu Xizhou raised his eyebrows, "cooperate. Don't tell me you don't know!"
It said, "But I really don't know!"
After a few times —
"Wuwuwu … I really, really … don't know … wuwuwu …"
"Even if you beat me to death … I still don't know … wuwuwu …"
When Gu Xizhou heard this, he saw that it was crying pitifully and loudly. He put his finger in between his thin lips and said, "Shh, lower your voice. The one sleeping next door is even fiercer than me when he hits ghosts. You're so loud. If he hears you and wakes up, you'll have to suffer a beating."
It immediately stopped crying and glanced at the lit room next door with a pale face.
Gu Xizhou had beaten it up several times, but it still said that it didn't know. Gu Xizhou assumed that it wouldn't dare lie to him, so he asked, "You said that you don't know. Then do you know how you became a ghost?"
It shook its head. "I don't know."
Gu Xizhou was furious. He grabbed its hair and curled the corner of his mouth. "What did I ask you? You didn't even think before telling me that you don't know and you don't want to cooperate, right?"
Its body trembled and it began to cry. Other people cried and shed tears, but when it cried, it bled from its seven orifices. Its voice was full of grievance. "I didn't, I really don't know!"
"Then what do you know?" Gu Xizhou rolled his eyes.
It thought for a long time and shook its head.
"Alright," Gu Xizhou took a deep breath and suddenly jumped up to give 'it' a good beating.
It said, "You are really unreasonable! I really don't know! … Wuwuwu, I don't even know how I became like this! "
Gu Xizhou said, "Keep your voice down!"
It said, "Oh …"
Gu Xizhou glanced at the lit balcony and continued, "Alright, you don't know anything else, but you must have seen the short-haired woman in school, right?"
It nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
"The news in the past three days is about a crazy woman who left home and got into a car accident, a homeless man who starved to death after not eating for five days, and a textile worker who was followed and killed. What's the relationship with the short-haired woman?" Gu Xizhou asked.
This time, it was silent for a long time. Gu Xizhou looked at it with a little more expectation. This ghost must be very important.
The man and the ghost confronted each other for a long time. After about two minutes, under Gu Xizhou's encouraging and expectant eyes, the ghost opened its mouth and seemed to muster up a lot of courage. It opened its mouth and said, "I don't know."
Gu Xizhou's face turned green. He threw a punch and the floor was covered in blood.
It said, "Why did you hit me!"
Gu Xizhou said, "I don't know. Why did you think for so long?"
It said, "Wuwuwu, if I answer you immediately, you'll say that I — I didn't even think before answering you. I'm just brushing you off."
"You …" Gu Xizhou rubbed his forehead. He had finally met his match. This ghost was so dumb that he wanted to beat it to death. "Fine, then tell me about the female worker that you killed."
Gu Xizhou raised his eyebrows. "You know her, right?"
It looked carefully at Gu Xizhou's face and asked tentatively, "What do you want to say? I killed her and how I died were all written in the newspaper."
Gu Xizhou said in a low voice, "I want to hear it from you."
"Gu Ge?" Seeing that Gu Xizhou didn't return to the room for a long time, and that the strange laughter and footsteps that had been in the room followed Gu Xizhou to the bathroom temporarily disappeared, Fang Zhi was a little worried. He got out of bed and shouted softly outside, "Are you okay?"
Gu Xizhou heard the footsteps from the next room and quickly replied, "I'm fine. My stomach doesn't feel well. Wait a minute, don't come out! I'll be fine soon. "
Fang Zhi, who had almost reached the balcony, didn't suspect anything.
Gu Xizhou breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment … Gu Xizhou heard a voice asking Fang Zhi, "Where is he?"
Fang Zhi's voice — — "Gu Ge is in the bathroom."
"Damn … Why is he awake!"
Noticing the change in Gu Xizhou's expression, the ghost took advantage of Gu Xizhou's inattention and ran into the next room with a whoosh.
Gu Xizhou stared at the ghost that disappeared on the balcony next door and raised his eyebrows. He jumped over to the next room and walked back to the room quickly. Seeing that Si Yu had woken up, he smiled and waved to Si Yu. "You're awake."
Si Yu glanced at him and faintly hummed in acknowledgment.
As Gu Xizhou returned to the room, footsteps sounded in the room again. Fang Zhi lay next to Gu Xizhou, covering his ears with his hands and looking around nervously.
Gu Xizhou lifted the quilt and lay on the bed. He said softly, "Do you want to die? How can I sleep when you're walking around? "
Fang Zhi thought that the ghost would laugh strangely, but he didn't expect the footsteps to get farther and farther away, as if it was leaving their room. At the same time, Gu Xizhou, who was sleeping next to him, said, "Why are you leaving? Are you going to scare people next door? "
To Fang Zhi's surprise, the footsteps stopped abruptly.
If they had turned off the lights, they would have seen a ghost on the floor, bleeding from all seven orifices. It was sitting on the floor and staring at Gu Xizhou's back with hidden bitterness.
Gu Xizhou, who was lying in bed, thought about the story that the ghost had told him. It was roughly the same as the news article in the newspaper, except that the female worker was about the same age as the students in the school. She was about 20 years old. Because it wasn't very important, the newspaper didn't mention it.
Gu Xizhou took advantage of the breakfast time and finished it quickly. He took his teammates and went straight to the dormitory. After walking around the dormitory, they found the dormitory manager.
"Here, the newspaper." The dormitory manager knew that Gu Xizhou was an acquaintance when he saw Gu Xizhou. He handed the old newspaper from yesterday to Gu Xizhou, and at the same time, said, "Put it on my desk when you're done."
The newspaper had a strong smell of ink, and it was wet. Gu Xizhou thought that there would be a murder case today, but when he opened the newspaper, he saw a story about a fall.
"A worker fell to his death at a construction site. His mother, 40, fainted at the construction site from crying."
"Fell?" Cheng Yue leaned over and saw the word "fell". "F * ck … fell? Did it say which floor she fell from? "
Si Yu held the newspaper. She was very calm and very calm.
Gu Xizhou tilted his head and glanced at the newspaper. He answered Cheng Yue's question, "It wasn't written in the newspaper."
"…" Xiao Yue was silent for a moment and said hesitantly, "Then how are we going to find Su Xiaomian in the future?"
Gu Xizhou waved his hand, "Don't worry about that. We can find the path of death by looking at which floor the students go."
Xiao Yue heaved a sigh of relief and looked much better.
Si Yu immediately confirmed Gu Xizhou's thoughts. After leaving the dormitory, Si Yu's eyebrows were tightly knitted together. It was Gu Xizhou's first time seeing Si Yu with such an expression.
After walking around the school, it was almost lunchtime. They confirmed that the fourth floor was a floor that they couldn't go to, so they went straight to the cafeteria to eat.
Baek Dong-yang, "What's the relationship between these people and the NPCs being replaced?"
Xia Hang, "I can't figure it out. They don't have … anything in common."
The feeling of hunger was getting more and more obvious. They ate the food, but they never felt full. This constantly reminded them that there were only three days left until they starved to death.
Everyone's expressions didn't look too good. Even Si Yu was silent.
Gu Xizhou recalled the contents of the newspaper and glanced at the frowning crowd, "Actually, they do have something in common."
Si Yu, "What?"
Gu Xizhou, "They're all very young. Does that count as something in common?"
Si Yu, "What?"
Fang Zhi, "?"
Everyone, "?"
Gu Xizhou said, "The mother of the worker who fell from the building was only 40 years old. Then he should be around 20 years old. The female worker who died yesterday was also around 20 years old."
Si Yu glanced at him, "The female worker's age wasn't written in the news article."
Gu Xizhou, "Maybe I remembered wrongly."
Si Yu glanced at Gu Xizhou suspiciously but didn't say anything. Then Gu Xizhou saw Si Yu take out a few old newspapers and flip through them one by one. The others also helped.
"The female worker is indeed very young." Si Yu pointed at a small article in the newspaper. The article was about a factory abusing cheap child labor. The oldest worker was no more than 19 years old. He said to Gu Xizhou, "You might be right. Let's check the other articles in the newspaper to confirm our guess! "
After about an hour, they finally confirmed that the age range of the people who died in the newspaper was between 18 and 22 years old.
"18 to 22 years old, the same age as the students in school."
Si Yu was obviously thinking about the connection between the two. Gu Xizhou also had a contemplative look on his face, although he couldn't think of any connection between the two …
His face was full of regret. This young worker died from falling from the building. This meant that there were no new ghosts for him to beat up and interrogate.
