Chapter 9: Reports of Disappearing Deaths

Seeing this scene, my body tensed up, I raised my arms, slowly opened the door and looked outside. It was dark outside, except for the incense sticks on the incense burner, which were as thick as someone's arms.

There was a little light. I raised my legs, stepped across the threshold, and walked outside the room. There was nothing next to the window, and the entire Taoist temple was so silent that you could hear a pin drop.

I adjusted my breathing and walked toward the door, being extremely careful in my movements for fear of waking up Taoist Changyun in the west wing.

Soon, I walked to the main door. Because the door was made of wood and was corroded in some places, if I opened the door directly, it would definitely make a squeaking sound. My whole body was very nervous.

, and slowly opened the door. When there was a gap in the door that could only be used by one person, I carefully got out, then stood outside the door, and slowly closed the wooden door. Standing on the path at the door

On the bluestone board, I turned my head and looked at the big plaque of "Yunfeng Temple". Taoist Changyun was kind enough to let me stay, but I left without saying a word. Although I felt a little sorry, at this moment, I understood what was going on.

It is even more important to me. I thought silently in my heart that when I have time in the future, I will definitely come back to say thank you.

I walked forward along the path, got into the weeds in front of me, and then kept walking forward. Half an hour later, I got out of the grass and returned to the road. The surroundings were still dark and extremely quiet. Now

It's already 2:30, and there are only two and a half hours left before 5 o'clock, and Jiafeng Lake is in the city. If I just walk, I can't reach Jiafeng Lake in two and a half hours. But there is no one on the road at this moment.

A car passed by and I could only walk along the road in the direction I came from.

Beep beep beep... beep beep beep...

Just then, my cell phone rang, and a call came over. I looked down and saw that it was Xiao Li.

Xiao Li's full name is Li Yuan, a native of Xizhou City, and he is a colleague who works with me in the firm. Although we are both trainee lawyers, since I have been working in the firm longer than him, plus

I am two years older than him, so he always calls me Brother Hua, and I also call him Xiao Li.

After I connected the phone, Xiao Li spoke first before I could ask, and his voice was slightly trembling:

"Brother Hua, where are you now? I was sleeping just now, and suddenly a number starting with 00 called me. The phone said that I must give you a package before 6 o'clock tonight. The voice seemed to have been processed, listen.

I didn’t care whether it was a boy or a girl, but when I got up and went to the bathroom, I saw a package on the coffee table in my living room. There was no label on the package, only a letter, and you were written in it.

His name also said that you must open the package with your own hands. I contacted you immediately after seeing it, but no one answered the phone after I called several times. Brother Hua, as you know, I have always lived alone.

I have never given the keys to my home to anyone else, and I checked the doors and windows, and there are no signs that they have been opened. A package suddenly appeared out of thin air at home, which is really scary."

I immediately understood what he meant. I believe anyone would be scared when encountering this kind of thing. As for not answering the phone, it was probably because I was in Yunfeng Temple just now. The location was too remote and there was no signal on my mobile phone. As for the package, I

I really can’t think of who wanted to give it to me and what’s inside.

After being silent for a while, I said:

"Let's leave the package at your place first. If I go to work tomorrow, you can give it to me."

"Brother Hua, you mean you won't come to work tomorrow?"

"Maybe, if there's time..."

Ding--

The phone was hung up.

Looking at the phone, I suddenly felt very confused. The call was hung up before I even finished speaking. What happened?

I opened the missed calls, and it was true as Xiao Li said, there were several missed calls, all from him. Suddenly, I was shocked. I was in Yunfengguan just now, and my mobile phone clearly had a signal, and I received

Anonymous emails, and I also checked online for relevant information about Jiafeng Lake.

My hand suddenly shook, and I quickly opened the browser to check the history records. I saw that the history records were blank and there was nothing. Click on the search box, enter Jiafeng Lake, and start the search.

“The shores of Jiafeng Lake, the city’s natural forest.”

The entire page is full of slogans like this. When you scroll down to the page, there are no words about drowning or death. They are all about travel reviews and entertainment promotions.

I swallowed. If this is the case, then what exactly was it I saw before...?

Just then, there was a sudden sound of tires grinding against the ground behind me. I turned my head, and with the flash of my phone, I saw a car driving not far away from me. I had no time to think about the problem just now.

, hurriedly waved his hands, indicating that he wanted to hitch a ride.

The car gradually stopped next to me. I looked closely and saw that it was a taxi. I was overjoyed and ran to the car, opened the door and got in.

"Hiss...it's so cold."

I had a cold war.

The air conditioner is on in the car, and the air conditioner is blowing cold air out.

"Master, the air conditioner is too cold, can you turn it off?" I asked immediately.

"Yeah." The driver responded to me briefly. I turned my head and started to observe the driver. The driver was a young man, almost the same age as me based on his face. He didn't look at me, but concentrated on driving. But, he

It seemed to be very hot, and visible beads of sweat could be seen on my forehead and nose. Although I couldn't understand the driver's behavior, I didn't turn off the air conditioner myself, I just turned it up slightly.

The car was moving forward, and I leaned my head against the window, feeling like I was on pins and needles. From the moment I got in the car, I always felt that something was wrong, but I couldn't figure out what was wrong.

It was pitch black outside the window, as if someone had painted the window with a layer of ink. I rubbed my eyes, but suddenly, I froze there because, I realized that I didn’t seem to have been there since I got in the car.
