Third watch

The wedding banquet had started on time at the scheduled time, and it was held in a secretive and quiet atmosphere.

The hall on the fourth floor has a card reception, and only those who hold wedding invitations can enter, then they nodded reservedly with other guests, sat in the arranged seats and waited.

He Lina probably really felt wronged, but she didn't show up.

But her wedding invitation is still in Zhong Yi's hands.

Zhong Yi waited on his seat for half an hour, until the guests present had already started whispering, and the protagonist of the wedding finally appeared.

Or rather, one of the protagonists.

He Wenna held the groom's arm, smiling as happily as every ordinary bride.

But the groom is Lin Fei.

Zhong Yi showed a mocking smile.

I don't know if He Wenna, who was immersed in happiness, noticed that when the new couple entered the arena, the expressions of all the guests were not very natural.

Of course, everyone is an adult and will not react too exaggeratedly.

But none of the people present could give a corresponding natural blessing to the happiness on He Wenna's face.

Probably because among the people present, only He Wenna hadn't seen the real wedding invitation.

On the wedding invitations sent to these guests, the groom's name is Lin Yu.

Who can invite the Lin family to this wedding, who doesn't know that Lin Yu is dead?

The groom on the wedding invitation is Lin Yu.

It was Lin Fei who appeared with the bride.

Lin Fei looked really personable, but his expression was a little tired, which instead made He Wenna beside him radiant.

After a round of toasting, the newcomers entered the table. He Wenna's parents looked a little happy, but Lin Fei was not in good spirits.

Zhong Yi looked at his watch calmly.

It's past four o'clock.

If there are no accidents, the wedding banquet should end before six o'clock, when He Wenna...

A scream interrupted Zhong Yi's thoughts, he raised his head suddenly and saw a commotion in the chairman.

The scream came from He Wenna, her delicately made-up face was full of panic, and Lin Fei beside her was lying on the table, motionless.

"Lin Fei!" He Wenna panicked and didn't dare to move him. Lin Fei's body began to twitch, as if some kind of sudden illness had occurred.

A group of people surrounded him chaotically, and then dispersed quickly. Someone carried Lin Fei on his back.

Zhong Yi stood up immediately, and took advantage of the chaos to squeeze into the center of the crowd. Lin Fei lay on a man's back, making a choking sound from his throat.

This is someone who no one will pay attention to Zhong Yi. Zhong Yi stepped forward calmly. Lin Fei's face that was lying on his stomach suddenly turned around at this moment, the whites of his eyes were half turned, and his cheeks were still twitching, which made his originally handsome face look like this. Some ferocious.

This appearance immediately frightened the people around - even if it was a sudden illness, it looked too fierce.

Even if it is epilepsy, it will not make people look so hostile.

Zhong Yi looked at Lin Fei's face and suddenly felt dazzled - Lin Fei's eyes seemed to roll down for a moment just now.

But that action was too fast, and before he had time to look carefully, the chandelier in the hall flickered, then suddenly went out, and the music stopped.

power cut?

Zhong Yi looked around and frowned.

It was only afternoon, and although the structure of the hotel itself was poorly lit, once it got used to the darkness, it wouldn't have much impact on the action.Someone who looked like an elder began to comfort the guests, and someone hurried out of the hall with Lin Fei on his back, surrounded by several people, and He Wenna followed closely with her wedding dress.

Zhong Yi followed without thinking.

Because it was daytime, the power outage did not cause much commotion. Zhong Yi saw that He Wenna and the others first arrived in front of the elevator, and then turned around to find the stairs.

Wang Xiaoming was squatting in the stairwell when the "target" suddenly appeared noisily, and he was startled.

In the chaos, no one took a second look at Wang Xiaoming who was squatting aside, but hurriedly took Lin Fei upstairs.

Wang Xiaoming only paused for two seconds, and immediately got up to follow, but was stopped by Zhong Yi who followed.

"What's wrong with Lin Fei?" Wang Xiaoming immediately asked him.

Zhong Yi had a serious expression on his face, and instead of answering him immediately, he looked at his watch again.

"It's afternoon." Zhong Yi seemed to be talking to himself: "How is it possible?"

"What is impossible?" Wang Xiaoming blinked.

Zhong Yi glanced at Wang Xiaoming: "Did you see Lin Fei's face just now?"

"He is surrounded by people and I can't see him clearly. I'm not even sure if that person is Lin Fei." Wang Xiaoming rolled his eyes: "I only saw one in a wedding dress, it must be He Wenna."

"Didn't you see Lin Fei?" Zhong Yi said.

"Should it be the one being carried?" Wang Xiaoming scratched his head: "What happened to him?"

Zhong Yi gave him a meaningful look: "I don't know."

"...I don't know what kind of profound expression you have." Wang Xiaoming said.

"But there is one thing that I feel the same as you." Zhong Yi said, "I'm not sure whether that person is Lin Fei."

Wang Xiaoming: "Gah?"

"As soon as Lin Fei came in, I felt something was wrong." Zhong Yi said, "His complexion is very bad. He doesn't look like someone who is going to get married."

"Nonsense, he wasn't the one to get married." Wang Xiaoming said, "I thought he would hold a tablet or something..."

"He doesn't need to hold the tablet." Zhong Yi said, "I suspect he is Lin Yu at all."

"What?" Wang Xiaoming's eyes widened.

Zhong Yi looked at his watch again: "So I asked you if you saw Lin Fei's face clearly. There were several times at the wedding banquet just now, and I felt that Lin Fei's face had become Lin Yu."

Wang Xiaoming frowned: "I don't understand what you mean. Lin Fei and Lin Yu are brothers, and it's normal to look similar sometimes. Lin Yu is dead. If you say you saw Lin Yu's soul, I can still believe it. But how could Lin Fei become Lin Yu?"

"That's why I find it strange." Zhong Yi said: "Those few moments are fleeting. Others may not have seen them, but I can never see them wrong. I dare say, if I could get closer to Lin Fei just now, I would I can clearly see if there was another pair of pupils in his eyes at that time."

"You mean, Lin Yu is here?" Wang Xiaoming understood: "Lin Yu is attached to his brother?"

"No." Zhong Yi frowned: "If it was simply being taken away, Lin Fei should have behaved abnormally. But just now, although Lin Fei was mentally weak, he obviously had a sense of self-consciousness."

"You said you saw Lin Fei turned into Lin Yu, but Lin Yu didn't attach to his brother, so what happened?" Wang Xiaoming said, "My professional knowledge is very lacking."

"I wasn't sure just now, but now I'm sure." Zhong Yi looked at his watch again: "We all made a mistake."

Wang Xiaoming looked at him.

"This kind of method is not what ordinary superstitious people would do. Someone has been pointing the Lin family."

Wang Xiaoming said, "You're getting more and more mysterious."

Zhong Yi glanced at him displeasedly: "What would you do if someone around you suddenly had a sudden illness?"

"Call an ambulance." Wang Xiaoming looked at him strangely: "Aren't your thoughts jumping too fast?"

"Did you call an ambulance?" Zhong Yi said, "You carry him on your back..."

"Go downstairs." Wang Xiaoming's expression changed: "Go downstairs and wait for the ambulance... Those people were going upstairs just now!"

"It's everyone's common sense and first reaction to be sent to the hospital when sick. But just now when Lin Fei fell down, they carried him upstairs."

"That means two things: first, the Lin family knows what's wrong with Lin Fei—or something happened. Second, they don't want to send Lin Fei to the hospital. They know there are other ways to bring Lin Fei back to normal .”

"Someone can cure Lin Fei." Wang Xiaoming continued his words: "Is that person upstairs?"

"It may not be here." Zhong Yi said: "Looking at the reaction of the Lin family, Lin Fei's accident today was not within their expectations. But what is certain is that they do not intend to send Lin Fei to the hospital."

"How can the Lin family be sure that Lin Fei will be treated better than the hospital?" Zhong Yi sneered: "We should have thought of it earlier."

"Lin Yu is causing trouble. It is impossible for the Lin family not to ask for help. Those with a background like the Lin family may not go to the countryside once in ten years. How could they think of using a yin marriage to appease Lin Yu? Even if it is a yin marriage , Most people who can’t find a suitable family are stealing bones at most, how many people would think of the idea of ​​beating a living person? Not to mention, they are almost successful.”

Zhong Yi looked up at the winding stairs, his eyes slowly turned cold: "It seems that our first business may not go well."

"Because there is a colleague standing by the Lin family?" Wang Xiaoming calmed down and looked at the time: "If you read correctly just now, how did the other party do it? Let a dead soul squeeze into a living person in broad daylight body, both coexist?"

"That's why I'm sure there must be someone standing behind." Zhong Yi said, "That person has a lot of tricks."

"Wait a minute." Wang Xiaoming said, "I think of one thing."

Zhong Yi looked at him.

"You said that some ceremonies are required for a Yin marriage, right?" Wang Xiaoming said, "After the wedding banquet is over."

"Nonsense, a living person needs a certificate to get married." Zhong Yi said: "There is also a bridal chamber."

"We originally estimated that the ceremony was either last night or tonight." Wang Xiaoming said slowly: "But now there is someone who can let Lin Yu go to Lin Fei's body in broad daylight. That means that the ceremony is the same as the wedding banquet just now , don’t wait until night.”

Zhong Yi: "..."

Wang Xiaoming: "..."

Zhong Yi: "Why didn't you say it earlier?!"

Wang Xiaoming: "I just thought of it!"

The two jumped up almost at the same time, stepped up the stairs, and rushed up quickly.

At the same moment, electricity seemed to strike, and the emergency lights in the stairwell flickered and then went off.

The two had just stepped into the corridor on the ninth floor when they were forced back two steps by a heat wave.

Wang Xiaoming looked in shock at the unusually dark corridor—it was not time for the sun to set, but the ninth floor was as dark as night, and there was no one in sight, and it was eerily quiet.

It was as if everyone had disappeared.

The hotel waiters, the tenants, and the group of people who carried the groom upstairs in a mess.

All disappeared.

The two rows of doors on the side of the corridor are all tightly closed, as if no one has opened them for a century, and there is a strange sense of stability.

The entire ninth floor—no, it was so quiet that it seemed that the only sound of breathing in the entire hotel was Wang Xiaoming and Zhong Yi.

The air began to thicken, and Wang Xiaoming squinted his eyes, trying to look into the corridor.

The two of them stopped moving forward, they looked at each other, and saw a trace of fear in each other's eyes.

Zhong Yi is the most gifted elite of Lubanmen's younger generation, and he keenly sensed that something was wrong on the ninth floor.

Although Wang Xiaoming was ignorant, the blood of the celestial master flowed in his body.

His instinct told him it would be unwise to go any further.

"Go back to the fourth floor." Zhong Yi looked at the empty corridor and made a sound with the corner of his mouth.

The two retreated to the stairwell, and as soon as they left the corridor, the stickiness in the air disappeared.

Sweat dripped from the tip of Wang Xiaoming's nose: "What's in there? I feel my eyes are red."

Zhong Yi carefully looked into Wang Xiaoming's eyes: "If you rank by the sensitivity of the five senses, Maoshan ranks first. What did you see?"

Wang Xiaoming rubbed his eyes: "Let's go down first."

Zhong Yi didn't ask any more questions. Lubanmen's advantage lies in the location. He didn't make arrangements on the ninth floor. He thought it's better not to rush there without knowing the details of the other party.

But when the two turned the corner of the stairs, their expressions changed at the same time.

The first half of the stairs was still going down, but when it turned a corner, it turned into going up.

And on the escape door above the stairs, there is clearly the word nine printed on it.
