Nightmare Card House

"Fang Tian! Save me! Save me quickly!"

The expression on Xue Yang's face was extremely frightened, his body was trembling involuntarily, and his tone was almost a prayer.

"What's wrong? Calm down and tell me what happened."

Fang Tian could tell that Xue Yang's expression was not fake, he was really scared.

"I can't say anything, don't ask anything, come and save me, you know where to find me! Hurry up! Please, hurry up, we're running out of time!"

"No time for what?"

Fang Tian was confused. He wanted to ask more questions, but when he looked again, he saw that Xue Yang had already walked away.

"call!"

Fang Tian suddenly sat up from the bed and looked at his phone.

Half past eight.

this……

Was it a dream just now? Why this strange dream?

Fang Tian covered his forehead. He felt a little unconscious. He was about to get up and wash his face when his cell phone rang.

"Hello? Fang Tian, ​​are you awake?"

The call was from Ling Luoluo, with a hint of anxiety in her tone.

"You just got up, why so early? You have to be a tutor again today?"

"Fang Tian, ​​please listen to me first. I just had a very strange dream."

Fang Tian's heart sank and he listened quietly to Ling Luoluo continue talking.

"I dreamed about Xue Yang. I...I don't know how to tell you. It seems something happened to him." Ling Luoluo was very anxious and a little incoherent. She continued: "I just turned off his phone when I called him. He is Something really happened?"

"Don't worry, maybe it's just out of power. That kid must have had a lot of fun last night."

"But...but." That nightmare was too real, Ling Luoluo still couldn't let go, "Fang Tian, ​​I..."

"Okay, just stay at home and I'll come find you. Xue Yang's house is not far from us. Just wait until we go over to find him."

Fang Tian's comfort made Ling Luoluo feel a little more at ease, "Okay, I'll wait for you at home. Come over quickly."

After hanging up the phone, Fang Tian touched his chin and started thinking.

Two people dreaming of the same thing?

Is this really just a coincidence?

I remember what Xue Yang said in the dream, knowing where to find him.

Did he mean the card club?

It seems like this card gallery is getting more and more interesting.

A sly smile appeared on the corner of Fang Tian's lips. He simply packed up, put on his coat and went to Ling Luoluo's house.

Arriving downstairs at Ling Luoluo's apartment, the two were about to leave when Fang Tian's cell phone rang.

It's a private mobile phone number that I don't recognize.

"Hi, hello."

"Are you Fang Tian?" The person's voice was so loud that Fang Tian had to move the phone away from his ear.

"Yes, you are?" Fang Tian glanced at Ling Luoluo beside him.

"I am Xue Yang's cousin, Xue Gang. Do you know where Xue Yang is now?"

Fang Tian was startled, and then he recalled Xue Gang.

Xue Gang used to be the captain of the basketball club at the school next door. He was once a senior. He failed a grade and had a bad temper. He often fought with people outside. One time he got into a violent fight and was punished by the school and expelled from the basketball club. However, I heard that Xue Yang said that his cousin was very loyal and helped a junior student to bear the punishment.

Fang Tian asked tentatively: "Xue Yang? Isn't he at home?"

"I asked, but he didn't come back last night."

Fang Tian frowned.

Ling Luoluo followed and heard the news that Xue Yang did not come back last night, and his face turned a little pale.

The person on the phone paused and continued: "I got your phone number from his friend. Maybe you don't believe it. I had a dream last night, and Xue Yang told me that something happened to him. Let me come to you, do you know where he is?"

Fang Tian glanced at Ling Luoluo beside him, "It's not convenient to talk on the phone. How about we find a place to talk in person?"

…

More than an hour later, Fang Tian, ​​Ling Luoluo, and Xue Gang reunited in front of the card shop on the corner.

Xue Gang was a tall man over 1.85 meters tall and looked very tough. He looked around and asked, "You mean you guys played here together last night?"

Fang Tian nodded and looked up at the card shop again.

Ling Luoluo continued: "We played here for a while yesterday, and we left at about half past eight. Xue Yang said he wanted to play a little longer."

"Tch, that boy! If I knew he was playing tricks on me, I would never forgive him!"

Xue Gang clenched his fists loudly and pushed open the card hall door angrily.

Fang Tian and Ling Luoluo looked at each other and followed Xue Yang into the card hall hall.

In the morning, the card hall was not as lively as it was yesterday, and there were not many players in the hall.

Fang Tian immediately saw the waitress behind the counter from yesterday. She was hiding behind the counter eating pancakes.

Xue Gang walked over, banged his fist on the counter, and waited for the waiter, "Hey! Is my brother here?"

"Who are you!" The waiter girl was startled. When she saw that he looked so fierce, she suddenly became furious. "Who knows your brother? You came to the store early in the morning to cause trouble? You scared me. , get out of here right now, or I’ll call the police!”

Fang Tian stretched out his hand to pull Xue Gang, stepped forward and asked, "I'm sorry, do you still remember me? I was here yesterday."

The waiter didn't even look at Fang Tian, ​​"I don't remember, it's 30 yuan per person, no time limit, if you don't want to play, get out of here, don't beep."

Fang Tian grabbed Xue Gang, who was about to get angry, and whispered, "Don't get angry in a hurry, we are here to find someone. Xue Yang might have fallen asleep inside because he played crazy yesterday, let's go look inside first." ”

Xue Gang gritted his teeth and put away his fists.

After walking around the card room and searching carefully, they returned to table 79 where they played the card game yesterday.

There was no discovery, Xue Yang was no longer here.

"Damn! That waiter must know something!" Xue Gang's patience was almost worn out. He was going to go to the counter to find trouble with the waiter and ask what happened to Xue Yang.

Ling Luoluo bit her lip lightly and persuaded: "Xue Gang, don't be impulsive, or we should call the police. I just saw a surveillance camera outside. If there is surveillance, we should be able to know where Xue Yang went."

Fang Tian didn't speak, and his eyes moved to the back, "I haven't found him on the second floor yet. Did he go to the second floor?"

Second floor?

Ling Luoluo also noticed the stairs leading to the second floor in the back corner.

For some reason, Ling Luoluo always felt that the staircase was eerie, and she instinctively felt a sense of resistance.

"And the second floor?"

Having said that, Xue just noticed that there was a second floor in the entire card hall. Without thinking much, he took big steps and walked towards the corner of the second floor.

Just as he reached the corner of the stairs, Xue Gang stopped.

A black door blocked their way at the top of the stairs.

"Open the door! Open the door!"

Xue Gang knocked heavily on the door several times but no one responded.

"Damn it! I'll go back and ask!"

Xue Gang took the two of them back to the counter on the first floor angrily. The boss stared at him and asked, "What's going on on the second floor?"

The waitress rolled her eyes and said, "What's going on? The second floor is opened by the boss for special members. It is not open to ordinary people and requires permission."

"Permissions?"

The waitress replied impatiently, "Yes, you must have at least twenty cards to apply to the boss to enter the second floor, or you can enter if you are invited by a VIP on the second floor."

Ling Luoluo explained: "Our friend didn't come back all night. We are worried that something happened to him. Can you let us..."

"Call the police?" The waitress looked at Ling Luoluo calmly, looking confident, "Anyway, this is a rule set by the boss. Tell me this, is there anything I can do?"

At this moment, a slightly hoarse voice sounded from behind a few people, "Are you Xue Yang's companions? I have been waiting for you for a long time."

Looking towards the direction where the voice came from behind, Ling Luoluo's whole body trembled.

It's the man in black I saw last night.

The scar next to his eye is really unforgettable.

"Damn it! Do you know Xue Yang? Did you do it!?"

Xue Gang was already suppressing his anger. He didn't do anything for the sake of the waiter's girl. He couldn't help it after hearing these words. He stretched out his hand to grab the sleeve of the man in black and question him.

"Bang!"

With a heavy sound, Xue Yang was restrained by the man in black and fell solidly to the ground.

Fang Tian stretched out his hand to protect Ling Luoluo behind him, his eyes full of vigilance.

The man's movements were so fast that Fang Tian didn't even see clearly how the man in black moved, and Xue Gang was pushed to the ground.
