I Wasn't Born Lucky

The phone receiver is like in the opening CG, there is no sound, only the hissing sound from the line.

The other party didn't speak, and Xiao Li didn't make a sound either, and hung up the phone directly after three seconds.

Rodian sat on the armrest of the sofa beside him: "How is it?"

"It's just like what you said, no one is talking." Xiao Li spread his hands towards her.

Ye Zeqing took out his mobile phone and put it on the table: "So you just hang up like this? This doesn't fit your personality. I thought you would be more... out of line."

It's like looking for seafood on a water ghost——Ye Zeqing thought to himself, but even Xiao Li can't seem to do anything to a phone ghost, so why not just run along the phone line and beat him up?

Xiao Li pushed Ye Zeqing's approaching head away: "There is no ghost on the other side to answer, so what can I say."

As soon as the two of them talked, the topic got farther and farther away, and Rodian fidgeted and interjected: "This is only the first time to answer the phone, and it is not until the third time that the curse breaks out."

Xiao Li's attention was taken away from Ye Zeqing. After thinking for a while, he asked Luo Dian: "This is the third time you answer the phone?"

"Yes, now the plot character Xu Chenfeng is on the sixth day after receiving the call from the ghost, and we are on the third day." Rodian said and raised the sleeves on his arms, and on the smooth and white arms of the girl, impressively engraved One number: 82.

This number is like a tattoo engraved into the skin, it cannot be wiped off, and it is firmly imprinted on the arm.

"Is this your tattoo?" Ye Zeqing asked.

Han Jin also lifted up his clothes with Rodian, and there was also a number on his arm, but it was a little less than Rodian's number, and his number was "80".

Ye Zeqing: "The same tattoo? A token of love between you two?"

Xiao Li pulled Rodian's arm and looked carefully: "... countdown?"

"Yes," Rodian pressed the skin with the number engraved on it with his finger, the skin sunken, but the number flowed like life, "I found it after receiving the third ghost call, At first it was 96, then it became 95, 94... I didn't realize what it was at first, until everyone answered the phone and there was such a number, and it would decrease by one every hour. Understand, this is the countdown of our lives, if we can't find a solution to the curse of the phone ghost, we will have to wait for the number to go to zero and die."

"If you want to solve the curse of the phone ghost, you have to start from the phone ghost itself." Xiao Li observed the countdown of numbers on the girl's arm at close range, "You can start from the phone number, or you can start from the plot character Xu Chenfeng."

At this moment, Xiao Li noticed that the pocket where he put Xiao Huangben vibrated twice, but he was not in the mood to care about it now, still thinking about the curse about the ghost call, he asked again: "What is your mission this time?"

At this moment, Rodian couldn't care less about the difference between men and women, and she replied: "For routine tasks, if you survive for more than seven days, or if you successfully remove the curse, you can return to reality."

Xiao Li: "In other words, the curse can be delayed or even lifted directly."

"Yes, we approached Xu Chenfeng at first, pretending to be her neighbor who just moved in, and started from the phone number, but we couldn't find the corresponding phone number no matter what, so our teammates started from her school."

"She is a student of the dance academy, and a dance teacher in her school did die a few days ago. At that time, we all thought we had found a clue, but after tracing, we found that the dance teacher died in a car accident at the school gate and crossed the road after school. I didn’t look at the car at the time, and I was hit by a car when I was busy talking with my boyfriend. Xiaoqing—that is, one of our teammates sneaked into the teacher’s team to inquire, but found nothing. Everyone said that the dance teacher was alive. Well, I have a harmonious relationship with my boyfriend, and I plan to buy a house and a car, Han Jin went to find her boyfriend at that time, and he also looked very sad, his eyes were red, everything is logical."

"At that time, all my energy was spent on cursing the phone ghost, thinking that there was no danger in the school, but Xiaoqing went to teach the students that day and didn't come back. The other two teammates went to her and ran into the ghost in the school. It took several props to escape, but on the way back, it was obliterated by the curse."

Hearing this, Ye Zeqing stretched out his hand to stop: "Wait, what do you mean they were cursed and obliterated?"

"The two of us were the first to receive a call from a ghost. I asked the police to adjust the surveillance at the intersection. They seemed to be controlled by some cursed force. They answered a call at the side of the intersection, and then walked towards In the middle of the traffic flow, there was a car that didn't have time to avoid it..."

Xiao Li asked the other party in detail: "Ghost in the school, what clues do you have here?"

"The three of them have always been responsible for investigating things in the school. I don't know the specifics." Rodian bit his lip.

Hearing this, Xiao Li raised his head and glanced at the clock which was almost one o'clock in the morning. He stood up from the sofa, turned his head to Luo and Han and said, "I know the general situation, and I will go to her school tomorrow to see."

Due to the existence of the countdown to life, time is very precious to Luo Di'an. She can't wait to grab Xiao Li and Ye Zeqing and go to school to find out the truth without delay. But night is when ghosts are most rampant. For the sake of safety, going the next day is the safest choice.

"Then now...?" Han Jin asked.

The most important thing now," Xiao Li looked at him seriously, "I think it is to get some food. "

Except for the king crab offered by the water ghost at noon, Xiao Li only ate the piece of chocolate from the kitten at night, and his hungry stomach still hurts even now.

Han Jin: "..."

"What do you eat here?" Ye Zeqing went to the kitchen to look for food with ease.

"There's not much food. This is our temporary rented house, and we ordered takeaway before." Rodian followed Ye Zeqing.

The two of them actually didn't eat anything that night, and the countdown to life was like the sword of Damocles hanging above their heads, making them unable to eat.

In the end Ye Zeqing dug out a few apples from the basket and handed one to Xiao Li: "There's nothing else, just this."

Xiao Li took two bites of the apple, and walked into the bedroom separately from Ye Zeqing.

In the dim light of the bedroom, Xiao Li gnawed on an apple, took off his coat, and took out a small yellow book from his pocket.

Xiao Huang was like a repeater, repeating a sentence in red: 【Let go of her hand. 】

[Let go of her hand. 】

[It's been holding for 2 minutes. 】

【3 minutes……】

[You can see numbers from a distance, why do you have to hold hands and see them so closely? 】

Xiao Li took out a fountain pen, put the little yellow book on his knees, and wrote: "I can't see the texture from a distance."

Little Huang Ben: [? 】

[What texture? 】

Xiao Li: "The texture of the number, it looks like a living thing, not a dead thing."

Xiao Huang Ben: [If you want to see it so much, I can let you see it too. I write it on my face, and I will write whatever number you want. 】

【...Or it can be written on the abdominal muscles instead of the face? 】

【You held hands with her for 3 minutes, and I want you to watch me for 9 minutes. 】

Xiao Li: "...don't make excuses."

——And he faintly felt that the body part that Xiao Huang wanted to talk about the most should not be the abdominal muscles...

Xiao Huang was a little wronged: [I didn't, I'm just not very happy. 】

[I want you to look at me. 】

[If you are focused when looking at me, I will respond; if you are not focused, I will also respond. 】

【Of course, when you look at me, I also want to look at you. I can look at you for a long time. 】

Xiao Li: "..."

Xiao Li bit the tip of his pen and chatted with Xiao Huang Ben for a while, it was too late and he was a little sleepy, his head gradually shifted to the outside, before turning off the light, his eyelids drooped when he moved away from Xiao Huang Ben and the pen.

But when Xiao Li fell to the outside, and when his forehead was about to hit the head of the bed, a silent sigh sounded in the room - the moment the sound sounded, Xiao Li's shadow that had been imprinted on the wall moved.

Shadow put his hands on the hard head of the bed, supported Xiao Li's forehead, and gently put him back on the bed.

-

the next day.

Ye Zeqing got up very early, just after dawn, he got up from the bed neatly dressed, because he was too hungry - Xiao Li and kitten's chocolate, but he had nothing.

But as a strong man (self-proclaimed), let's forget about last night. In broad daylight, he can't directly say that he is hungry, which is out of character.

Therefore, when Xiao Li woke up and went out, Ye Zeqing was leaning against the door in a concave shape, greeting him with a deep profile: "You're up."

Xiao Li glanced at him coldly, but said nothing.

"I also received the first ghost call last night." Ye Zeqing followed him with his pockets on, watching him walk out the door, and Rodian and others followed behind the two of them, "At first I didn't notice Any ghost breath, only after the phone rang, I felt that resentment."

"Very strong, stronger resentment than the previous water ghost." Ye Zeqing restrained his smile and said seriously, "I tried to track it, but as soon as I hung up the phone, it disappeared without a trace, without any clue .”

Xiao Li took out his mobile phone from his pocket and shook it at him: "I also received a second ghost call, in the morning, before going out."

After hearing this, Rodian couldn't help but catch up and asked: "We all receive calls at midnight the next day, one call a day, is it because you are the interveners?"

Xiao Li: "It's possible, he and I have both received ghost calls more frequently."

As they talked, they walked out of the community. The community was full of people in the morning, and all the breakfast shops on the roadside were open, offering everything from pancakes to steamed stuffed buns and soy milk.

After Xiao Li bought some breakfast, he slowed down and fell behind Luo Dian and Han Jin.

Han Jin pulled Rodian over, glanced at the two behind him anxiously, and asked cautiously, "Dean, why do I think they are unreliable? Yan Luo is okay, but Moriarty looks..."

"The help item can only be used once, there is no other way." Rodian also responded worriedly, "I can only use Sima as a live horse doctor."

Luo Dian brought Xiao Li to the gate of the dance academy.

After all the teammates left, the affairs of the dance academy were taken over by Luo Di, so she was also very familiar with the guards and teachers here. She pretended to be a foreign student who yearned for dancing and often came to the dance academy to see friends.

This college is not strictly managed, the school spirit is free, and outsiders often come in and out, as long as they register well, so Xiao Li and others can enter very smoothly.

The morning breeze blew through everyone's hair, the sun shyly hid behind the clouds, coupled with the students coming and going, the whole dance academy was full of youth and vitality.

Tan Li poked out the tip of his head from Xiao Li's pocket, looking at the normal campus full of longing.

The puppet's dull eyes flickered twice rarely.

Luo Dian took Xiao Li and others directly to find Lin Xiangyi, Xu Chenfeng's good friend. She was the closest person to Xu Chenfeng. Now Xu Chenfeng had left the city because of fear, and went to join his parents who were away from work—but The curse still exists, and she might not survive the seventh day.

Lin Xiangyi is a well-known beauty in the dance academy. She met Luo Dian and Han Jin with Xu Chenfeng before, greeted them, and said helplessly, "Sister Luo, why are you looking for me again today?"

The matter of Xu Chenfeng did not affect Lin Xiangyi, she was dubious about the matter of the ghost, she was simply sad for her friend's departure, and there was no fear of being shrouded by the ghost on her face.

Luo Dian said: "Two friends are here, one is surnamed Mo and the other is surnamed Yan. We still want to know about your dance teacher, maybe it will be helpful to Chen Feng."

Lin Xiangyi first greeted Xiao and Li, and then said to Luo Dian with a bit of embarrassment on his face: "Sister Luo, I have told you many times about Sister Meiyou, I have class later. Woolen cloth."

Han Jin said: "Xiangyi, we can make a long story short."

Lin Xiangyi was not very good at rejecting others because of her personality, so she reluctantly agreed: "Okay, what else do you want to know?"

They were halfway through the conversation when Xiao Li's cell phone rang.

In the dungeon world, personal mobile phones never have a signal, so the only ones who can call in are ghosts.

Xiao Li glanced at the caller ID of "4444444", and said to Lin Xiangyi, "Wait a minute, answer the call."

Lin Xiangyi nodded towards him. Seeing Xiao Li's expression changed, she seemed a little excited, so she couldn't help asking: "Okay, girlfriend?"

Xiao Li:?

Lin Xiangyi immediately realized her rashness: "I'm sorry, because you seem to be looking forward to this call..."

Xiao Li was stunned for a moment, he thought about the relationship between himself and the phone ghost, and defined: "No, it's an enemy."

Rodian who knew the truth: "..."

——Moriarty's description, without knowing it, can make up a ups and downs of grievances and hatreds.

——And what Lin Xiangyi said was right, you looked really looking forward to it just now, like a boy waiting for a date to agree, why are you looking forward to a call from a ghost? !
