Thriller Night Talk

Chapter 9

“The tears I sprayed on your face just now are cow’s tears.”

Bei Quan tried to help Wei Fuyuan up, but the young master was too tall and strong for him.

“Also, what you saw is not an illusion, but a real ghost.”

Wei Fuyuan: “!!!”

He turned his head, his eyes wide open, and stared at Bei Quan in shock.

He blinked vigorously many times just now, but he still couldn’t erase the gray figure from his retina.

Even if he was no longer willing to accept reality, Wei Fuyuan had to admit that the shadow of the human figure was too real to be explained as an ‘illusion’.

But even if seeing is believing, he still couldn’t accept it!

“Tsk!”

Bei Quan enlarged his eyes like a goldfish to look at Wei Fuyuan and clicked his tongue inside.

“Unexpectedly, you are quite stubborn.”

With that, he turned his back to Master Wei. Wei Fuyuan didn’t know what he was doing.

Wei Fuyuan: “???”

He didn’t wait long.

About three seconds later, Bei Quan suddenly turned around, walked behind Wei Fuyuan like lightning, and slapped Wei Fuyuan on the back of the head.

Wei Fuyuan: “!!!”

At that moment, he felt as if a hammer had hit him on the head.

For some reason, young Master Wei didn’t feel the pain, but the sky was spinning around him. First, there was golden light flashing in front of him, and then suddenly black again.

He lurched forward uncontrollably. Before falling, he stretched his hands forward instinctively, to maintain his balance.

The next second, Wei Fuyuan found himself falling into someone’s arms.

He reluctantly opened his eyes.

Sure enough, it wasn’t his illusion. Master Wei found himself lying in Bei Quan’s arm, while the other party wrapped his back with other hand, and let him lean on his shoulder like a little bird relying on this person.

Wei Fuyuan: “!!!”

The amount of information was overloaded in a short period of time, and the young Master Wei was shocked to the brink of brain collapse.

He saw Bei Quan curled up his eyes and showed a charming smile.

The next second, Wei Fuyuan’s body suddenly lightened, and he was carried up by Bei Quan with one hand.

Then, like a sack full of cotton, Master Wei suddenly flew out and threw himself at the gray figure.

Wei Fuyuan finally couldn’t hold back his panic and squeezed out a shrill cry from his throat.

He thought that he was about to be coerced to give an intimate hug to this gray unidentified object. In panic and despair, he inherently closed his eyes.

However, when Wei Fuyuan came in contact with the gray thing, it felt as if he had slipped into a viscous, unidentifiable liquid.

The icy-cold, sticky liquid wrapped him tightly, and at the same time, another person’s confused and broken scream flowed into his mind.

[Do not! Do not! Do not kill me! Do not kill me!!]

[I didn’t mean it! I didn’t set fire on purpose!!]

[I was very tired and annoyed, so I just smoked a cigarette in the corner!]

[I didn’t know that cigarette butts would ignite those garbage!]

[I didn’t know the house would catch fire!]

The white figure was extremely tall. He was at least two meters tall by visual inspection. He was wearing a loose linen robe and a pointed sack of the same color on his head. He only had two holes in his eyes.

——It was The Executioner!!

Wei Fuyuan instantly thought of the name “it” was given by Mr. A.

[I am sorry! I am sorry!]

[Don’t kill me! Please, don’t kill me! ]

Wei Fuyuan heard himself repeating these words continuously, and at the same time, his body muscles cramped, as if he was trying his best to escape the danger.

However, he could not move.

Not to mention standing up, even if he just wanted to move his body back a few centimeters, he couldn’t do it at all.

[Do not kill me! Do not kill me!]

[Please forgive me!]

Finally, the rear of the Mitsubishi car hit him directly.

Wei Fuyuan felt as though he soared out on his back like a kite, only to had a sharp thing penetrated his chest from behind.

He opened his eyes and gazed at the dark, empty sky above him. There was only one thought in his heart:

[This is retribution——]

…

“Ha!”

Wei Fuyuan suddenly opened his eyes and realized that he was lying on the ground, spread like a starfish, while Bei Quan was poking his cheek with a finger, “OK, it’s time to come back.”

Young Master Wei abruptly sat up and looked around alertly.

The gray figure was still in the clearing, his hands on his knees and his head hanging low.

“Well, is that–is it Meng Mouchang?”

Wei Fuyuan pointed to the gray figure in front of him and said with a trembling voice, “I saw it! He, he said he set the fire! He smoked and threw cigarette butts, lit the garbage, and let the building burn! ”

With that, he turned to look at Bei Quan, still immersed in the excitement, unable to extricate himself.

“Also, I saw the executioner! It, it really exists! It made the car hit Meng Mouchang!”

—–

The next day, April 24, Saturday.

Today’s state of Wei Fuyuan was particularly sluggish. Even the scenic resort couldn’t calm his frightened heart.

He had no idea what Bei Quan did to make his soul separated from his body and witnessed the entire process of the third deceased guy, Meng Mouchang, getting hit by a car and then getting stabbed to death by the fences from the first person’s perspective.

Wei Fuyuan couldn’t sleep all night because of the fear and despair he felt. He barely squinted when it was almost dawn. As a result, he was dug out of his bed by Bei Quan before 8 a.m. and told it was time to go out.

The two had a hasty breakfast at Sāntúchuān broadcasting company, and Wei Fuyuan drove them to the scenic spot in the neighboring city under the instruction of his boss.

This time, they were going to the place where the fourth deceased and the only female, Lin Xue, was involved.

Fortunately, the car’s condition was good all the way. At 11 a.m., they moved into the resort next to the scenic spot.

The resort was a single-family small cottage, each with double rooms, each room had its own bathroom.

The room ordered by Bei Quan was on the second floor. When you open the window, you could see a big lake full of lotus.

Although it was not the season for the lotus to be in full bloom, the lake was full of lotus leaves. When the wind blew, the ripples of green appeared, which made the lake appear astonishingly beautiful.

It was a pity that Master Wei wasn’t in the mood to appreciate it.

As soon as he entered the room, he threw his knapsack into the corner, threw himself on one of the beds., and fell asleep.

When Wei Fuyuan woke up, the sky was completely dark.

“Just in time.”

Bei Quan is sitting on his bed reading. When he heard the person in the next bed turning over and lifting the quilt, he grabbed up a sandwich from the bedside table and tossed it into Master Wei’s arms.

“Make do with it, and get ready to work.”

Wei Fuyuan’s previous stress, which had been partially alleviated after he had slept, instantly resurfaced.

He had missed lunch. At this point in the evening, he was so hungry that a sandwich was not enough for him.

Master Wei climbed out of bed, casually put on his coat, put down the sentence “I’m going out to eat” and went straight out of the door. He slammed the door hard, leaving a loud bang.

“Tsk.”

Bei Quan shook his head at the trembling door panel, “Young man, the dog has a bad temper.”

It was an hour later when Wei Fuyuan came back with a full stomach.

By this time, it was nine p.m in the evening.

“The scenic spot has long been closed.”

Wei Fuyuan said to Bei Quan when he walked in.

The implication was that “it is no longer possible for you to enter the scenic spot to investigate Lin Xue’s death today.”

“Isn’t it better though?”

Bei Quan smiled and got up, picked up his suitcase, and took the long-handled black umbrella. The handle of the umbrella was tilted and lightly tapped Wei Fuyuan’s shoulder.

“Let’s go, let’s go over now.”

They followed the signpost of the resort to the entrance of the scenic spot.

Indeed, as Wei Fuyuan said, the door was locked, only the light in the security room next to it was still on. A 30-year-old in uniform was sitting at the table in the window, concentrating on playing games with his mobile phone.

“See, I said we couldn’t get in!”

After yesterday’s experience, Wei Fuyuan’s materialist world outlook had been broken by 70%, and the remaining 30% were on the verge of collapse.

His small heart was suffering so much that he didn’t want to be hit again so soon. In line with the ostrich mentality of delaying for a while, Master Wei hoped that his boss would change his mind and let him go back to his room to rest.

It was a pity that his wish was destined to fail.

With a click, Bei Quan suddenly opened the black umbrella he had been hanging on his elbow.

The surface of the black umbrella was bigger than that of an ordinary umbrella. It was more than enough for two people to stand under.

Wei Fuyuan noted that the surface of the umbrella was entirely dull and black from the outside, but when it was opened, the lining appeared like silk stitching, and when lit by light, it reflected the faint light like ripples.

But now, in the evening, there was neither sun nor rain. Suddenly, he opened a black umbrella. There was a strange feeling, which made Master Wei inexplicably a little worried.

Bei Quan reached out and dragged Wei Fuyuan under the umbrella.

“Remember, follow me closely.”

With that, he put one hand around Wei Fuyuan’s arm and the other hand holding a black umbrella, and walked toward the security duty room.

Wei Fuyuan: “!!!”

——What kind of extreme operation was this!

He was so taken aback that he had the horrified expression of Edward Munch in his heart.

——What did Bei Quan want to do!?

——Just holding an umbrella in this way, wouldn’t it make people think they were crazy!?

Wei Fuyuan twisted a few times and tried to break free from Bei Quan’s grip, but the opponent held it securely and walked at a fast pace.

Just as Master Wei was struggling to come up with an idea on how to deal with the security guard, they had already reached the window and were not more than half a meter away from the people inside.

Facts had yet proven that Wei Fuyuan underestimated Bei Quan’s means.

Bei Quan clutched his umbrella while leading Wei Fuyuan to pass by the security room window and proceeded step by step to the iron gate at the scenic spot’s entrance.

The entrance gate was closed tightly.

Wei Fuyuan looked back. The security guard was still immersed in his game world and did not even notice them pass by.

He tried to reach out and tugged on the iron gate.

It didn’t even budge.

“This…”

Wei Fuyuan turned to look at Bei Quan, “I can’t open the door, we can’t get in either!”

Bei Quan curled his lips and stretched out his hand, pulled on the iron gate.

With a crispy sound, the gate to the entrance opened.

Wei Fuyuan: “??”

He had just confirmed that the iron gate was locked securely!

Bei Quan pushed the iron gate open, slid the umbrella, and smiled lightly, “Go in.”

Wei Fuyuan: “…”
