Chapter 116 Coincidence

As I was walking out, Xia Mengying said behind me, "Above the Xiantian realm, no wonder Liangjie Tang could rise to fame in such a short time. You…"

I heard Xia Mengying hesitate, and asked, "If you have something to say, say it directly. I like straightforwardness."

Xia Mengying said, "It's a bit early to say now. Let's wait until after the mission!"

I turned around in confusion, only to find that Feng Ruoxing's face showed no surprise. Feng Ruoxing probably knew what Xia Mengying hadn't said. I'll ask Feng Ruoxing when I get a chance.

What surprised me even more was that the alcohol on Xia Mengying had completely dissipated in these few steps, and I didn't see any signs of her using her power to dispel the alcohol. The Haoran Qi of the Confucian school is not an internal skill, but it has its own unique features.

Judging from Xia Mengying's ability to dispel alcohol alone, her cultivation is probably on par with Ye Yang and me.

I started the car out of Liangjie Tang without batting an eye, "Xia Xia, does your colleague usually have any strange habits?"

"Apart from being taciturn, I really haven't noticed anything different," Xia Mengying said, "My colleague's name is Du Fei, and she is the kind of person whose life is very simple. Going to work and getting off work is probably her whole life."

"She basically doesn't participate in gatherings between colleagues, and rarely interacts with other colleagues. It took me a lot of effort to find out where she lives."

Xia Mengying asked me to drive the car into a residential area, "Du Fei should live in Unit 4, No. 16. The one with the lights on should be her home."

I followed Xia Mengying to the door of Du Fei's house and reached out to press the doorbell, "There's no need to knock on the door. There's no one inside. This house hasn't even been lived in."

Warlocks don't look at whether there are lights to see if someone lives in a house, but whether there is human Qi.

There wasn't even a trace of domesticity in this house. Even if someone lived in it, it would be a dead person.

Ye Yang took out a wire from his backpack, inserted it into the keyhole, and lightly pulled it to open the other party's door. The room, apart from a light bulb and curtains, was no different from a bare room.

The gray walls in the room looked strangely eerie under the light. The empty room felt like it was waiting for someone to come and add a bit of human touch to it.

Feng Ruoxing grabbed a handful of revealing powder from his backpack and sprinkled it on the ground, but the ground didn't change at all.

If Du Fei was really a ghost, Feng Ruoxing's revealing powder should have reflected her footprints on the ground, or traces of someone's activity. It's even stranger that there's nothing here.

Everyone in the sorcerer's world knows the saying that empty houses are inhabited by ghosts. Therefore, there are Jing Shi (cleansing masters) who specialize in cleaning empty houses.

Du Fei's house is neither inhabited by people nor by ghosts! It itself is strange.

I walked around the room before standing by the window and calling Zhao Ci, "Lao Zhao, check the exact location of Xia Xia's colleague, Du Fei."

Zhao Ci immediately said, "After you left, I was checking Du Fei by her phone number. She has two properties under her name, one is No. 16, Unit 4 of XX District. The other is behind that district, you should be able to see it if you stand at the north window of No. 16."

I happened to be standing by the north window. I opened the curtains and saw an old red brick building.

My eyes immediately fell on one of the windows that wasn't lit.

Although the red brick building was old, only one window wasn't lit. So, it looked particularly conspicuous.

When my eyes met the window, a woman in a white nightgown also lifted the curtains on the opposite side. The way she lifted the curtains was exactly the same as mine, and she even had a phone in her hand.

If I hadn't been on the phone with Zhao Ci, anyone who saw our actions would have thought we were looking at each other while talking on the phone.

Many people think that it is impossible for people to see another face clearly from a distance of several hundred meters without the aid of any tools. However, that is living people looking at living people.

When a living person looks at a dead person, as long as the other person is willing, even if they are thousands of meters apart, they can let you see their face clearly.

When I stared face-to-face with the other party, I saw the haggard face of that person. The other party seemed to have not slept for several days. Her face was pale, her eyes were dark, and her hair was messed up.

The other party only glanced at me before shifting her gaze behind me. She was looking at the person behind me.

Who?

The moment that thought flashed through my mind! The phone in my hand made a strange "chi" sound, and then, a woman's desperate cry came from the phone, "Xia Xia, you're here! Don't come looking for me…"

"They're forcing me to write stories… I can't write them, I really can't write them…"

"They're all looking for me, they want to see the ending, but I don't know how to write it…"

"Don't join that group, don't join it. There are no living people in that group, and no one can survive. Don't go in, and don't come looking for me!"

Was that woman Du Fei?

After she shouted the last sentence, she opened the window and jumped from the building. Da Feng Novel
