Chapter IX Cooperation

Blue Sky Apartment, room at the end of the fourth floor.

Under the arrangement of Director Tan Lou, Bai Feiyu obtained a house of his own.

Her eyes swept across everything in the house with a cold look, and then walked towards the balcony.

The whole city was as quiet as if it was dead.

It was only at this time that Bai Feiyu showed some anxiety and wavering.

She carefully maintained a defensive attitude and made her mark appropriately just to avoid being "left over".

She has been abandoned since she was a child. Perhaps it is because she was an alien from the beginning?

However, today, the dull days of the past suddenly disappeared from life.

A ghost?

life and death?

Bai Feiyu is not afraid.

What she needs is the truth.

Her parents died very early. She had been to their cemetery twice. Looking at the unchanging scenery beside the cemetery, she seemed to be looking for something, although she herself didn't know what she was looking for.

"Pu"

Bai Feiyu skillfully pulled the lighter and lit a cigarette.

Looking quietly at the heart-pounding night, Bai Feiyu's pupils finally returned to calm.

Her smoking addiction has become much heavier in the past two years, and holding cigarettes has become a habitual action for her.

In the past, people often looked at her with strange eyes, and all kinds of men would come forward to chat with her. She understood what their eyes mean, but she didn't mind.

A person's life is short, and hers is shorter.

Therefore, Bai Feiyu has no time to pay attention to those gazes.

She never gave up pursuing her parents' traces until... based on their notes, she discovered the time and place of the next train.

When she rushed to Fengdu in the city of Ye, and waited for that day to arrive, and a strange train really appeared in front of her, Bai Feiyu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It's true... The records of parents are not an urban legend, they are real!

She hid everything in her heart, she was dormant, just like a cicada about to enter summer.

Bai Feiyu snatched the cigarette butts and finally calmed down.

She knew very well that no one in this place was credible...

"Tu tuk--"

Just then, a dull knock on the door sounded.

Bai Feiyu's heart tightened. It was night now, and here was an apartment with evil ghosts.

Who would knock on the door at such a moment?

"Miss Bai? Are you here?"

Before she could ask who it was, Duan Xu's voice appeared outside the door.

Bai Feiyu frowned slightly, looked out through the cat's eyes, and saw a face that was ordinary and difficult to impress.

"Click—"

The door is open.

Duan Xu crawled into Bai Feiyu's room without saying a word, closed the door, and sniffed: "Did you smoke?"

"This is not something you should care about." Bai Feiyu's eyes hidden under the hood were staring at him coldly.

"Yes." Duan Xu nodded, walked straight to the balcony, and closed the window.

Bai Feiyu frowned and looked at his movements. Although she could not see those disgusting desires from Duan Xu's eyes, this person's eyes were numb and stiff, without the agility that humans should have, making her not want to touch them.

She suddenly thought of something terrible, is this person really Duan Xu?

If it is a ghost, it should not be difficult to change into Duan Xu's appearance...

Her heartbeat gradually accelerated.

At this moment, Duan Xu suddenly turned around and said sincerely: "Let's talk short, Miss Bai, I'm here to cooperate with you. Tell me how to leave this train completely, I will help you solve this dilemma, and even... If we meet again in the future, I can continue to help you. What do you think of this condition?"

Bai Feiyu's heart hopped violently, and she immediately rejected the idea that the person in front of her might be a ghost.

There is no doubt that he is Duan Xu, but... he seems to have realized something.

"I don't understand what you are saying." Bai Feiyu put his hands in his pocket and looked at him without blinking. "Didn't that person have said the way to leave completely? Even if it is a lie, why do you think I will know the way to leave completely?"

Duan Xu looked at her eyes quietly without avoiding it.

Here comes again, and it is this kind of bleak look in my heart...

Bai Feiyu rarely avoids other people's eyes, and when facing Duan Xu, she subconsciously avoids it.

"Don't waste time anymore, Miss Bai. I have a lot of strange things stored in my mind, including the various reactions made by normal humans in various situations. The reactions we react after stepping on the train to a similar scene, probably like going to a haunted house. Your performance is not like a newcomer, nor is it like an old man who has played once, but more like a challenger who has checked all the information online and came to see him, right?"

"No one will deliberately remember the multiple reactions of human beings under various circumstances. You don't have to cheat me." Although a hint of panic flashed in Bai Feiyu's heart, his tone was very firm.

"Okay..." Duan Xu was helpless. He suddenly turned around and said, "You can ask me any details about you. If I can't answer, I will not disturb you anymore."

Bai Feiyu immediately understood what he meant, but she still felt a little incredible. With a try-out attitude, Bai Feiyu looked down at her shoes and asked, "How many shoelace holes are there?"

"Four on one side, eight in total."

Duan Xu almost answered as soon as she finished speaking.

Bai Feiyu opened his eyes slightly and whispered: "There is such a strange person..."

Duan Xu turned around and said, "I just thought that I was praising me. Now, can we talk about it?"

Bai Feiyu looked at Duan Xu sitting on the bed coldly and said, "I admit that you have a strong memory, but this does not mean that you can leave here safely. Anyone can say anything in vernacular."

"That's right." Duan Xu nodded and said, "A month ago, a missing case occurred in Lantian Apartment. Later, the body was found in the ceiling mezzanine of Room 506. The deceased was named Su Wanyu. The cause of death was taken by taking a lot of sleeping pills. There were no signs of fighting at the scene and no other fingerprints. Therefore, she was considered suicide."

Bai Feiyu looked at him unexpectedly and asked, "Have you asked Zhou Mingcheng?"

Duan Xu shook his head, took out a newspaper from his arms, and handed it to her: "I don't know how much time it takes to ask this kind of thing from them. I asked for some newspapers before Director Tan Lou left, and the basic situation recorded on it should not be wrong."

Bai Feiyu looked down and was indeed reporting the recent suicide case of Blue Sky Apartment.

"What valuable clues can be found in this kind of report?" Bai Feiyu's eyes were full of suspicion.

Duan Xu stretched out his hand and pointed at a place: "Don't you think something is wrong here?"

Bai Feiyu looked at where he pointed, which clearly stated "No other fingerprints were found on the scene."

"Zhou Mingcheng is Su Wanyu's boyfriend. There is no fingerprint of anyone else in Su Wanyu's room, and there is not even Zhou Mingcheng's... Could it be that these two people are in a platonic relationship?"
