Fengqi Nancheng

Lin Heng was immersed in his own thoughts and didn't pay attention to the time.When he raised his head again, he realized that it was already dark outside.

He stood up and glanced at the time, it was already eight o'clock in the evening.He actually thought about it for hours.

Lin Heng rubbed his stomach, feeling a little hungry.He took the mobile phone next to him and looked at it, and found that Nan Yucheng didn't call him?

During this period of time, the two gradually figured out the mode of getting along.On weekdays, if Nan Yucheng or Lin Heng couldn't go home for dinner on time due to busy work, they would call in advance to inform the other party, which not only saved the other party from worrying, but also avoided the embarrassing situation where the food was prepared in advance but no one came back.

Therefore, when Lin Heng saw that there was no call from Nan Yucheng on his mobile phone, he felt a little strange.

This was the first time Nan Yucheng didn't call him after they set the rules.

However, considering the nature of Nan Yucheng's work, Lin Heng also guessed that the other party was unable to separate himself from difficult things.Without thinking too much, he went to the kitchen and made something for himself to fill his stomach.

After eating and cleaning up the kitchen, the time has pointed to 09:30.

Lin Heng went back to the computer and decided to check if there was any news.

He closed a bunch of web pages that he had opened before, and reopened a browser.

Just as he was thinking about which keywords to enter in the search bar to find the results more easily, Lin Heng suddenly saw that there was a line of words written in the hot news right below the search bar of the browser:

"East China employees died one after another, what's the inside story?"

Lin Heng thought that the media had made some kind of silly conjecture by linking the cases of Qi Qingqing and Xu Lanshuo, so he didn't click on it.Keep searching for what you want to check.

However, after reading several webpages in succession, the most popular search on the top of each webpage is this line of words. After reading it for a long time, Lin Heng was a little annoyed, so he couldn't help but click in, wanting to see what content attracted such Many people's attention.

Probably because there are many pictures in the post, the page has not been displayed after circling on the screen for a while.Lin Heng got a little impatient waiting, so he went to the living room and took an apple to eat.

As soon as he gnawed on the apple and walked to the computer, Lin Heng saw the enlarged mosaic picture in the center of the screen at a glance.

Seeing this, the apple in Lin Heng's hand fell to the ground.

——He actually saw Lu Mengying.

Lu Mengying was already dead, and her face was mosaiced.But even so, Lin Heng recognized her at a glance through her body shape and clothes.

Not far from her body was Jason's body.This Lin Heng didn't recognize him, he only found out the identity of the deceased after reading the later reports.

The report reads: The bodies of Lu Mengying and Jason were found on a certain section of the national highway in the outskirts of the city at [-]:[-] this afternoon.When they were found, their bodies were in the car, Jason was driving, and Lu Mengying was sitting in the passenger seat. The cause of death was poisoning.Moreover, the police found a suicide note on each of the two, and the preliminary identification was indeed written by themselves.

Lin Heng watched the news and was so shocked that he didn't recover for a while.He immediately remembered the previous phone call, and it seemed that what he was worried about had indeed happened!

He felt a burst of self-blame—in fact, after receiving that call, he originally planned to remind Lu Mengying that she might be in danger.However, Lin Heng, who was distracted by Gu's father's affairs at that time, simply thought that the crisis had been resolved after seeing that Lu Mengying was fine. He didn't even think deeply about this matter. If he hadn't seen this article when he was browsing the news just now, he might never think of that threatening phone call until tomorrow.

Lin Heng sighed, looking at the quiet mobile phone on the table, hesitating whether to call Gu Qiyuan.

At this moment, the window of the bedroom suddenly made a "snap". Lin Heng looked back and saw the ghost doll in the form of a boy riding half of his body on the window sill of the bedroom. It seemed that he was about to turn over. Lin Heng looked over and grinned at him.

Lin Heng suddenly felt his head hurt even more: "What are you doing here?"

"Take you to Gu Gu and them." While speaking, the ghost doll jumped off the window sill neatly, walked in front of Lin Heng in two or three steps, and took out a piece of paper talisman from his pocket while walking .

Just as Lin Heng wanted to open his mouth to ask a question, the ghost baby had already moved in front of him, holding the paper talisman in one hand, and clasped Lin Heng's wrist with the other, and whispered something in his mouth.

In an instant, Lin Heng felt that the space in front of him seemed to be completely disintegrated. Suddenly, a white hole appeared in front of him. pull.The wind rushed in from the hollow directly in front of him, almost knocking him to the ground!Just when Lin Heng couldn't bear it and wanted to yell, the hole in front of him seemed to move in front of him at once, and the strong white light made him unable to open his eyes. He closed his eyes subconsciously, and slowly, the The pulling force gradually weakened, and after a few minutes, even the wind could no longer be felt, and Lin Heng opened his eyes in shock.

When he opened his eyes, he was taken aback.

Right now, he was in a private room of a high-end business club!

The reason why Lin Heng recognized it at a glance was because this clubhouse was one of Father Lin’s favorite places to go. Lin Heng followed Father Lin to come here no less than [-] times since he was a child. Naturally, he was extremely familiar, so he immediately knew where he was being taken.

He looked around, and there was no trace of the ghost doll around. It seemed that he disappeared after bringing himself here.

Lin Heng remembered that Guiwa said before that he wanted to bring him to find Gu Qiyuan, so he didn't worry too much, and found a seat to sit down and wait for someone to come in.

As soon as he sat down, the door was pushed open.However, what surprised Lin Heng was that it was Nan Yucheng who opened the door and came in.

What I didn't expect was that Nan Yucheng was more surprised than Lin Heng. Seeing him, he immediately asked, "Why are you here?"

Lin Heng opened his mouth and gestured towards the door. Just as he was about to speak, another person's footsteps came from the door. Lin Heng poked his head out to take a look, and saw Gu Qiyuan standing at the door, and frowned when he saw himself .

"...Didn't you ask me to come?" Lin Heng asked Gu Qiyuan.

Gu Qiyuan shook his head, then remembered something, turned to Nan Yucheng and said, "Ah Che did it."

Nan Yucheng flicked his hair irritably, walked up to Lin Heng and sat down next to him: "In this case, let's talk now."

Lin Heng was at a loss, seeing Gu Qiyuan also came and sat down, and thinking of the way the two of them entered the door one after the other just now, Lin Heng became suspicious and hesitated: "You two..."

Nan Yucheng glanced at him with a calm expression: "Huh?"

Lin Heng immediately shook out the terrible conjecture in his mind, and said seriously: "What's going on? Why am I here? What are you going to say?"

Gu Qiyuan sighed: "I originally planned to tell you after the discussion is over, but I didn't expect that Ache couldn't hold back and sent you here directly."

"That's good, let's talk about it now, so as to save trouble later."

"Wait." Lin Heng interrupted Gu Qiyuan.

"I have a question." Lin Heng said: "Jason and Lu Mengying are dead, you all know that, right? What's the situation? Is it really suicide?"

"It's suicide." Nan Yucheng affirmed: "But it's not suicide in the true sense. Strictly speaking, they should be manipulated."

"Then... who did it? Do you have any clues?" Lin Heng asked.

"Don't mention this matter first, you listen to me first." After Nan Yucheng finished speaking, he was silent for a while, and then he slowed down his voice, and asked word by word: "Have you done anything lately?" A dream about the past?"

As soon as Nan Yucheng said these words, Lin Heng immediately felt stiff all over.He suddenly remembered the woman on the hillside in the dream, and the content he had found on the Internet before.He glanced in Gu Qiyuan's direction unconsciously, but just happened to meet the other person's eyes looking over him. Lin Heng was startled, and blurted out: "Yes. How do you know?"

"Ache told us." Nan Yucheng said lightly.

"That ghost doll?" Lin Heng felt speechless. In the dream, the ghost doll had repeatedly emphasized that he was not allowed to tell anyone. Why did he say it first when he turned around?

Nan Yucheng continued: "We already have a general understanding of what you saw in the dream. And what I want to tell you is - from now on, you must immediately forget everything about this dream in your mind detail."

Ever since the two got together, Nan Yucheng rarely spoke to Lin Heng in such a serious and commanding tone.Lin Heng felt a little wronged for a moment, so he asked back: "Why?"

"You saw that picture, right? You should know that behind that picture, there is a past that you don't remember. You think you just forgot, but it's not, it's your brain For your own protection, I selectively erased that period of memory that was too shocking to you at that time." Speaking of this, Nan Yucheng paused, and glanced at Gu Qiyuan: "But—— Now someone wants you to remember again."

"Wh, what do you mean?" Lin Heng felt that Nan Yucheng clearly said it very clearly, but he just couldn't fully understand what he meant, or he already understood a little bit, but he didn't dare to think in that direction.He looked at Gu Qiyuan helplessly, as if he wanted to get some explanation from him.However, Gu Qiyuan just sighed and silently looked away.

Nan Yucheng continued: "In that memory of yours, there is a huge secret hidden. This secret is related to the interests of many people. For this secret, many people have been secretly looking for it for hundreds of years."

Lin Heng suddenly remembered the past about the Gu family that Gu Qiyuan told him not long ago.In that period of history, Gu Qiyuan once mentioned that after the powerful devil created by the Gu family was defeated and sealed by other forces, the Gu family has been constantly looking for this sealed devil for many years.

Lin Heng had a bold guess in his heart—could this be what Nan Yucheng said? !

He couldn't bear it anymore, and immediately turned his head to Gu Qiyuan and said, "What does this matter have to do with the Gu family? Why would Uncle Gu want me to remember? What are you looking for?!"

"It's not us, but my father." Gu Qiyuan said hoarsely: "He has always been unwilling to face the decline of the family, hoping to find the devil again and carry forward the Gu family. He spent a lot of time and energy, Many years ago, he finally found a clue about the devil."

He paused, looked at the scenery outside the window, and said in a deep voice: "When he found the devil, because he had been sealed for a long time, the devil's temperament had changed drastically. Although his father is the heir of the Gu family, the blood has been passed down from generation to generation. The Gu family of the first generation has become much weaker, and because of the seal, the devil does not recognize my father as the master."

"Father secretly imprisoned the devil in the basement of our house behind our backs. At that time, Uncle Lin was on a business trip abroad, and Grandma Lin was also sick and hospitalized. The Lin family took you to my house. You were naughty and curious when you were young, and you always wanted to visit the basement. , but when we were not at home that day, you sneaked into the basement and unintentionally let the devil out."

Gu Qiyuan didn't go into details about what happened next, but Lin Heng had already guessed the outcome from the fate of the three nannies.Lin Heng blamed himself for a while, and then heard Gu Qiyuan continue: "At that time, you were the only one in the family, so only you know what happened. When my father and I came back, you were already unconscious, and the devil was nowhere to be seen. .”

"At that time, my father was very angry, but because of the friendship between the two families, he didn't do anything to you. After you woke up, you forgot everything that happened that day. We all guessed that it might be because the situation at that time was exciting for you. It’s too big, causing your subconscious to selectively block that memory.” Gu Qiyuan said: “When something like this happened, my father was very discouraged at the time, and told me that since the devil was so unwilling to come back, he didn’t want to be here anymore. It took a lot of energy to do things. After many years, he did not mention anything related to devils again, so I thought he really let go."
