Xia Yuxi looked out through the peephole and saw two men in black with stern faces standing outside the door. They stood upright and had sharp eyes. At first glance, they were not ordinary people.
As expected, when the door was opened, one of them took out his ID and said: "Except for the Prohibition Bureau, please cooperate with us. We have something to ask you."
She nodded and expressed her willingness to cooperate.
However, the two men outside had no intention of asking questions. They stood on both sides, as if waiting for someone to arrive.
Not long after, footsteps sounded on the stairs, and a man in a brown trench coat slowly walked downstairs. His eyes paused on Xia Yuxi for a moment, and he smiled and extended his right hand.
"Hello, I'm Lu Zhan." After a pause, he smiled and said, "You are very beautiful."
"Thank you, my name is Xia Yuxi." Xia Yuxi hesitated for half a second, then reached out and shook the other person lightly.
Her heart was beating wildly. She didn't expect that this guy Lu Zhan would actually come and ask her questions in person.
"I heard that you are an esper with [telepathy] ability," Lu Zhan said with a smile, "So I'm a little curious... did you look into my heart when we shook hands just now?"
Xia Yuxi was stunned and shook her head subconsciously, feeling a chill suddenly arise in her heart.
Although she had registered her identity as a person with abilities in the Removal Bureau, she did not fill in the specific abilities.
Abilities and Taoist skills belong to the privacy of extraordinary people. Unless there are special circumstances, they will not be forced to interfere even in the ban removal round. Whether to fill in or not completely depends on the extraordinary person's own wishes.
So logically speaking, the Bureau of Exclusion should not know about her abilities.
This was also the reason why Xia Yuxi felt frightened.
Why...how did Lu Zhan know my abilities?
Is the Bureau's ability to collect intelligence so terrifying?
Wait...he's warning me!
Xia Yuxi suddenly realized that this guy Lu Zhan was clearly telling her that he knew everything except the Forbidden Bureau. If you were wise, you'd better not hide anything...
When he came back to his senses, Lu Zhan shook his head with regret and said regretfully: "It's such a shame. I still want to try what it feels like to be read my mind."
Xia Yuxi sneered in her heart, Ha, fart! If I really dare to do this, you should crush the bones of my hand!
"I'm interrupting you this time because I have something I want to ask you."
Thinking of serious matters, Lu Zhan looked straight, pointed at the muddy footprints under his feet and asked, "Do you know what these footprints are about?"
How did Xia Yuxi know that she wanted to ask Lu Zhan? She was about to shake her head when she suddenly remembered Bai Mo's words and said, "It seems like a corpse is knocking on the door..."
"The corpse knocks on the door? Have you seen that corpse?"
"I haven't seen it, I heard it from others."
"Oh? Who said that?"
Lu Zhan's smile did not diminish, but there was a bit more chill in his eyes.
It is true that there are a large number of non-staff personnel from the Forbidden Bureau stationed in City Three, but these people cannot be located in every corner of the city. Moreover, most of the time they are busy with other things, and there is no guarantee that they can take care of unexpected situations at any time.
What a coincidence, there happened to be no one from the Prohibition Bureau near the Sunshine Apartment at noon today, and only Chen Shi happened to come over.
In order to stop the corpse, Chen Shi had to temporarily give up tracking Bai Mo, and briefly lost sight of the latter. In addition, the surveillance in the corridor had lost its effect, so he did not know about the relationship between Bai Mo and Xia Yuxi.
However, this is not the most important thing.
Even before the death of the tenant in the Sunshine Apartment occurred today, rumors about "corpse knocking on the door" had already appeared in many corners of City No. 3.
Lu Zhan suspected that all this was probably done intentionally, and under the premise that the Bureau of Prohibition and Prohibition issued a new law, this was simply a slap in the face of the Bureau of Prohibition and Prohibition.
Hearing the news that someone was walking around with dead bodies knocking on the door, Lu Zhan thought he had caught another guy who didn't know whether to live or die.
"A man named Bai Mo told me."
Xia Yuxi confessed honestly and she didn't feel the need to hide anything.
White ink?
Lu Zhan's expression changed slightly: "Tell me about the specific experience at that time."
After hearing Xia Yuxi's narration, he remained calm, thought for a moment and asked, "You mean, you met a strange man on the ninth floor?"
"That's right." Xia Yuxi didn't expect Lu Zhan to care about this issue, and recalled, "He was just looking for trouble..."
The description of the woman who reported the crime was almost the same, and even what the other party said was exactly the same...
Lu Zhan was thoughtful and continued to ask: "Speaking of corpses knocking on the door, you should have heard the knocking on the door before, right?"
"Yes, someone knocked on the neighbor's door opposite first, and then knocked on my house. The sound was very strange and made people feel uncomfortable."
"How many times did you knock?"
Xia Yuxi recalled: "The other side knocked twice, but my house only knocked once."
Lu Zhan nodded slightly, having no idea at the moment, because judging from the few people he had asked so far, there was almost no pattern to this matter.
No, it’s not completely irregular…
He suddenly asked: "You said the knock on the door sounded uncomfortable, so what kind of sound was it?"
That's right, not just Xia Yuxi, but all the people questioned mentioned the same thing...that is, the knocks they heard on the door were very strange.
Xia Yuxi tried hard to remember, shook her head and said: "I can't knock it out, the sound is not like what ordinary people can knock out."
"You mean..." Lu Zhan narrowed his eyes and followed her words and guessed, "Ability user?"
"I'm not sure."
"Yeah."
Lu Zhan touched his chin, his eyes suddenly lit up, and the smile on his face became a little eager, "I have one last question..."
Xia Yuxi was horrified by the sight.
"Can your [telepathy]...can touch the heart of the person who just died?"
…
When Bai Mo returned to the cemetery, it was completely dark.
He turned on the flashlight, but it seemed to be broken. It could emit a strong light several meters long, but now it could only illuminate less than half a meter in front of him.
There seemed to be a big hand hidden in the darkness, driving away all light.
He returned to the hut, temporarily stopped thinking about cooking, took out his cell phone, and stared at the date on the screen for a long time.
"How could it be this date? It shouldn't be this year..." He looked confused and suddenly murmured, "Hey, when should it be this year?"
After pondering for a long time, he still couldn't come up with an answer. Unfortunately, there was no signal on his mobile phone at all, so he couldn't get online for help...
The date on the phone is wrong.
He was quite sure of this originally, but now he was a little hesitant, wondering whether there might be something wrong with his memory.
"Let's find someone to ask tomorrow."
Bai Mo comforted himself in this way, took out a tattered stuffed dog from his pocket, looked at it over and over, and shook his head in disgust.
"It's so ugly that the dogs shake their heads when they see it."
Although he said this, he still put the doll dog on the table carefully, thinking of the scarred man.
My mood is inexplicably complicated.
"I don't know what's going on with that person... Do you want to try calling the police tomorrow?"
He felt something was wrong. Although the other party claimed that he had caused the injuries himself, how could a normal person injure himself so seriously?
I don’t think about it anymore, I’d better ask someone tomorrow.
With this thought in mind, he cooked some porridge at will. After filling his stomach, he returned to the bedroom, climbed into the coffin, closed the coffin board and closed his eyes in one breath.
The night is getting dark.
On the table, the buttoned eyes of the motionless doll dog suddenly lit up, and it moved its forelimbs - it gained activity.
This is a very scary thing to think about.
In order for a bereaved dog to regain its activity, it must meet two conditions at the same time: first, it must absorb enough blood, and second, it must be stared at by more than five people for a long time.
Both are indispensable.
But now, when not a single condition is met, it actually moves without warning...
The doll dog moved its body and fluttered its short limbs, as if it wanted to escape from this place.
The next second, the air became extremely oppressive.
In the darkness, the bereaved dog's limbs trembled suddenly twice, and then he lay down on the table, not daring to move an inch.
