I finally fell into my own hands

The air was silent for a moment, Qi Ye didn't interrupt, and waited patiently for the other party to continue speaking.

Xu Zhao put down his chopsticks and folded his hands on the table: "When I first received private messages from readers, I thought it was a prank. After all, there are often such things. Readers take some fictional things in the book and put them in real life. , and then share it with people around me either sincerely or jokingly...Of course, it is also my honor to be remembered by so many people.”

"The reader of this private letter asked me aggressively as soon as he came up, why did I write the setting of obliterating koi, I took it as a challenge and didn't reply, after all, things like brain holes and inspirations can't be explained clearly. It hasn't been long , He sent another private message, it was a photo of the scene of the car accident, the person lying on the ground was sucked into the truck, and was crushed directly... I was not mentally prepared at the time, and I was shocked."

Speaking of this, Xu Zhao pursed his lips, as if he was trying his best to endure the discomfort of recalling the bloody scene. Qi Ye observed him secretly for a while, and found that Xu Mian, the brother of a writer who had left the imperial circle since childhood, was a real ordinary man. Human beings are very sensitive to blood clots in corpses even after writing ghost stories for many years. This should be placed with Xu Mian, so that he can eat sashimi while watching ghosts dissecting corpses.

"I immediately blocked this private messager, and that night he sent me a message on a trumpet account. Unexpectedly, the first sentence was an apology to me. He said that he was also very afraid of doing things so that he was so inappropriate. , the photo of the scene of the car accident, bloody and bloody... It was his deskmate, who had just won a grand prize of 1 yuan on Weibo half a month ago. At that time, he was so happy that he made various spending plans. There was a car accident that day, and the whole person was swept into the cement truck and died on the spot."

"I thought at the time that this fan just happened to like my book, so it was easy to substitute reality and check in, and I didn't really think there was a problem."

Qi Ye nodded: "This really doesn't explain anything."

Xu Zhao was noncommittal, took a deep breath and continued: "It wasn't long before I received a similar private message, this time the other party was not abrupt enough to send me the death scene directly, but just told me in text that his family had won cash After the lottery draw, he accidentally rolled down the stairs and hit the back of his head, which did not save his life."

Qi Ye: "..."

"Then the third time, the fourth time, and the fifth time...they all died after winning the lottery. They died in various ways, such as car accidents, falling from buildings, drowning, sudden illness, and even murder! If one or two times is a coincidence, then six or seven Isn’t it that simple this time? Although I liked my koi killing setting very much at the time, but...in reality, I can’t accept it! No one can bear it, right?” Xu Zhao’s face faded, and he held Jiuzhan's fingers were also trembling slightly.

Qi Ye remained calm and calm: "Have you checked the IPs of these private messages?"

Xu Zhao lowered his head weakly at this time, shrugged his shoulders slightly and shook: "Not only have I checked their IPs, but I have also checked the lottery winning records and death information of these people who died one by one. Feel weird."

He subconsciously picked up the cup, took another sip of the cold wine, and suddenly said with a wry smile: "That feeling is that I created a killing machine in the illusory, and it was originally just for people to watch and entertain after dinner. Suddenly one day, it appeared in reality and began to eat people wantonly according to the method I taught!"

Xu Zhao, who has always been gentle and restrained, unconsciously raised his voice due to emotional agitation, so that the moment his voice fell, the air was cramped.

At this time, the door of the Japanese room rang, and it was the waiter who came to deliver the snacks after the meal.

"Please come in."

Xu Zhao quickly collected his emotions, and calmly let the waiter outside the door into the room, and the two of them didn't say a word while the other was placing the meals.

The door of the Japanese room was closed again, Xu Zhao's emotions had completely settled down, and his facial features appeared blurred and dull again.

"Because of my family, I have heard a lot of weird stories since I was a child. Many of these have become my writing materials, but this is the first time that it happened so close to me. It's like... I used them as materials before. , and now they have devoured me, truly appearing in front of my eyes."

Qi Ye has already shifted his attention to the chestnut pudding in front of him at this moment, and only pays attention to the other party's actions and expressions from the corner of his eyes: "If these are true, do you think someone will attack these koi according to your plan? "

He was a little unreasonable at the moment, but he made the other party feel reliable and at ease: "This... I'm not sure if it's because of me."

"As far as I know, there is no precedent for killing koi and collecting luck in the world of spirit control, but I don't read much, so I may have missed it." Qi Ye was very rigorous, and he didn't forget to post a scumbag on himself after the analysis. Tag of.

Xu Zhao smiled wryly and shook his head: "To tell you the truth, when I returned to China this time, I spent all night in the classics room at home, just to see if there were any similar cases. similar."

Qi Ye showed admiration for Xu Zhao who stayed up for several days and stayed up late to check the information. Xu Zhao was immersed in clues that he couldn't figure out, and murmured: "However, I saw the word about Ziling. I thought about it for a while not…"

"The power of Ziling is not so great." Qi Ye immediately denied it. The so-called Ziling is just like Yanling. Both words and words have power. Although this power is weak and untraceable, it is true. The real existence will form an undercurrent over time, and the right time, place and people may promote the development of things.

But all these are idealized inferences. In fact, it is difficult for ordinary people to change anything with their writing and speech power. The change in appearance comes quickly.

Psychological suggestion is also metaphysics.

Not to mention that just a book of supernatural powers can change the magnetic field and breed a group of koi killers, Yue Hei Feng Gao, to carry out the koi erasure plan.

Xu Zhao, who was sitting across from him, didn't think so. After Qi Ye denied this possibility, he pursed his lips and said anxiously: "However, if many people have read these words, their thoughts are similar and different. Strong, will the expectations of these readers imperceptibly promote the development of the book and even the real world...?"

Xu Zhao's eyes showed a little brilliance, but unfortunately, through the lens, this brilliance was discounted, Qi Ye didn't pay attention, he just thought that Xu Zhao was worthy of writing a book, his brain was big enough, and he was confused Li: "What do you mean by promoting development?"

Xu Zhao paused for a moment, then his voice sank: "For example, because of the readers' strong resentment, the dead characters in the book are reborn in another world, etc."

Qi Ye: "...?"

"If you look at it from another angle, isn't it completely impossible for the setting in the book to appear in reality because of its own strength?"

"This... is beyond my understanding, I'm sorry." The other party explained enthusiastically, but Qi Ye still didn't understand.

"I let go again, Mr. Qi, don't care about it," Xu Zhao smiled calmly, "My way of thinking about things is still too wild, and sometimes I will go to the corner of the air, maybe it's good to have no strength Yes, Mianmian is more reliable."

It's not convenient for Qi Ye to say anything about other people's family affairs, so he didn't answer those words.

"Mr. Qi, my situation is probably like this. I want to entrust you to help me find out whether these deaths are related to the winning of the lottery or even my book. I can't call the police for these things. The police may treat me as a prank... So I can only ask you, the investigation fee is set at 100 million, if the matter is really related to me, I may need to entrust Mr. Qi to help solve it, money is easy to talk about."

100?Empty is the investigation fee?At this moment, Qi Ye realized for himself what Xu Mian meant when he said his brother was rich.

Looking at it this way, Yuling people are indeed poor compared to this kind of self-employed people who have escaped from the circle since childhood.

Seeing that Qi Ye didn't answer, Xu Zhao thought that he would make the other party unhappy by being short, so he hurriedly said, "The investigation fee can also be increased. I don't understand the market, so don't blame Mr. Qi for saying the wrong thing."

"This price is already high enough. If it goes up, your brother may hate me for a year."

Hearing this, Xu Zhao finally relaxed his tense nerves a little, and smiled: "I heard that Mr. Qi also has a younger brother?"

Mentioning Ning Xiao, Qi Ye showed a gentle look on his face: "Yes, Ah Xiao is now hanging around your brother all day."

"Ah, speaking of it, I seem to have seen it before. When I just returned to China a few days ago, I saw that Mianmian brought a boy home to play games all night. He was very cute. Mianmian kept calling him Ah Xiao, so it was you. younger brother."

Xu Zhao, who is also a brother, heard Qi Ye talking about his younger brother, and he was rarely interested, but Qi Ye's face darkened secretly. Ning Xiao has already carried him to Xu Mian's house for the night? !

……

On the way back, Xu Zhao was going to send Qi Ye back in person, but Qi Ye refused, Xu Zhao was knowledgeable and didn't insist too much, he called a car, and left after watching the other party get in the car.

Qi Ye doesn't dislike Xu Mian's elder brother, except for the occupational disease of being too unconstrained in thinking, he handles things with a degree of advance and retreat, and will not make people embarrassing.

After arriving home, Qi Ye had a rare look at Ning Xiao with a calm face. Ning Xiao had never seen such a brother before, and was a little panicked. He hurriedly asked Hei Hei what happened, but before Hei Hei answered, Qi Ye replied: "You ask What's the difference between him and asking me, he is also your brother."

Ning Xiao scratched his head without saying a word, and called Hei Hei Brother, Hei Hei smiled wryly, and patted him on the shoulder like Qi Ye: "Let's call Hei Brother as before, or we'll get confused."

Ning Xiao heaved a sigh of relief as if he was saved, and murmured deliberately: "Sure enough, Brother Hei loves me."

In fact, at the beginning, Hei Hei disapproved of taking off his mask in front of Ning Xiao, for fear of scaring the children, but Qi Ye insisted that he see people with his true colors, and said that it was Ning Xiao's luck that he had two older brothers all at once.

The moment Hei Hei took off the mask, Ning Xiao was so frightened that he choked on the question in his throat for a long time and couldn't speak. Later, under Xu Mian's enlightenment and explanation, he gradually accepted the reality, and he accepted it happily.

Qi Ye pretended to be indifferent and said: "This child, now that he has two older brothers, he will act like a baby."

Hei Hei curled his lips: "Well, Ah Xiao is acting coquettishly, cuter than you."

Qi Ye couldn't hold back his laughter at last, he supported Hei Hei's back with one hand, and his ankles with the other, hugged him horizontally, leaned to his ear and whispered: "Turn your elbows out."

As he said that, one person and one ghost entered the bedroom, and Ning Xiao, who was left alone in the living room, looked depressed. How could he become an outsider who was elbowed? ? ?
