MTL - I Can Rewind-Chapter 444 wishful thinking

  Chapter 444 Wishful thinking

  Early the next morning, Yan Junze woke up just after dawn.

  Looking around the room, the three sisters each maintained the postures of last night and have not moved.

   After washing up, I went downstairs to have breakfast, and then called Ma Jing.

   Sure enough, this woman stayed up all night and worked overtime last night, finishing the follow-up work on the case that has plagued the spirit exorcism team in Baiyang District for the past few days, and is waiting for Yan Junze's report.

   It is agreed that I will go there immediately, and there is no need to call a special car to pick me up.

Yan Junze hung up the phone and said to the three sisters: "When you get to the office building of the spirit extermination team, you should stop following me. There may be large-scale detectors and magnetic field weapons for weirdness there. Run away and wait for me .”

  Zhuang Wenxian nodded, but the other two sisters didn't say anything.

  After Yan Junze left the room, the three disappeared without a trace.

  Yan Junze left the hotel, took a taxi on the side of the street, and went to the office building of the Spirit Eliminator according to the address Ma Jing sent him.

  According to the regulations of the Huaying Metropolis' headquarters, the office buildings of the Spirit Eliminators in each region are located in the corners of a city, which are less conspicuous than the headquarters.

  And even the headquarters, it still doesn’t look very unique from the outside, just like ordinary commercial buildings, they try to be as low-key as possible.

  The office location of the spirit remover in Baiyang District is basically the same as that in Tianmeng District. It looks like an old-fashioned three-story residential house, which is located on the edge of Dongcheng City in Baiyang District.

  After Yan Junze got out of the car, Ma Jing who was waiting outside the building had already greeted him and paid the fare for him.

   Ma Jing's face was a little pale, and her eyes were not closed all night, but she did not immediately turn into panda eyes. This woman may have become a habit of staying up late, and she still looks very energetic.

   "Is Cao Heng okay?" Yan Junze asked.

   Ma Jing shook her head: "It has stabilized. Brother Cao's physical fitness is very good. It is only a matter of time before he recovers."

   "That's good." Yan Junze nodded.

   "The person you were looking for yesterday, my friend from the Security Bureau said that the result will be available before noon today at the latest." Ma Jing said.

  The two went to the office on the second floor while talking.

  The computer is turned on, and a new document has been created. Ma Jing is waiting for Yan Junze to come to dictate, and she is responsible for typing and modifying the sentences.

   Made Yan Junze a cup of tea, and the two began to enter the report.

  About an hour later, the head of the exorcism team from Baiyang District came over, called Yan Junze to the upstairs office and had a chat for a while. After thanking him, he took the initiative to bring him some local products from Baiyang District.

  Yan Junze couldn't postpone it, and returned to Ma Jing's office on the second floor with a large bag of miscellaneous souvenirs in embarrassment.

  Ma Jing smiled and pretended not to see it. At this time, she had adjusted the report and said that she asked Yan Junze to check it again. Because the level of the weird incident was higher, the report was to be handed over to the Huaying District Headquarters.

  Yan Junze was not very interested, so he just looked around.

  The report mentioned three weirdos, one more powerful than the other, but he concealed the fact that they were triplets, and the speculation that the three weirdos were brutally tortured to death.

  The follow-up process is easy to describe for Yan Junze, because the Huaying District Headquarters basically knows that his specially hired spirit exorcism is best at Buddhist spirit exorcism, and Yan Junze would not be Yan Junze without this method.

   While he was checking the report, Ma Jing went out to answer the phone, and when she came back, she looked happy and said, "The old man named Zheng Bo has been found."

   "Where is he?" Yan Junze looked up at her with a calm expression.

"Zheng Bo never came back after he left Aries 20 years ago. According to the flight records, he went to Tianyi, Shouzheng, Yannan and Luoxia districts at that time. I bought a house in the district, and found out that he had gone through the formalities of registering as a householder at that time, and there was no other discovery after that.”

   "That means he might be in Luguang?" Yan Junze said to himself.

   "It's possible, but it's also possible that he moved out a long time ago." Ma Jing shrugged, "After all, the registration procedures were not perfect at that time, but if his house has been sold, there will definitely be a record."

   "Can you give me the specific address of the house in Luguang District?" Yan Junze asked.

   Ma Jing had already taken a pen and paper to write on the table, and quickly handed the note with the address to Yan Junze, and said with a smile: "This address is a bit special!"

   "The report is ready." Yan Junze stuffed the note into his trouser pocket and pointed to the computer screen, "It's well written."

  After coming out of the office building of the spirit remover, Ma Jing insisted on getting a special car to take him to the airport, and Yan Junze didn't delay any further.

   About forty minutes or so, the car arrived at the airport.

  After getting off the bus, Yan Junze did not buy a ticket back to Tianmeng, but bought a ticket to Luguang.

   After sitting in the terminal for about two hours, I finally boarded the plane.

  Sitting on the plane, he took out the note with the address on it and looked at it, remembering what Ma Jing said to him before leaving, a strong premonition arose in his heart.

   Zheng Bo should still be living in Luguang, most likely he hasn’t left yet.

  …

  Luguang District, Xinfengzhai Community.

  Xinfengzhai used to be the nearest village adjacent to Luguang District. Later, after the expansion of Luguang District, the village was included in the urban area.

  In layman's terms, this is a bit like the urban-rural fringe area, which has the potential for urban development. However, due to the large number of self-built houses and high development costs over the years, a large part of the area has not been developed for the time being.

  Chunfeng Road in Xinfengzhai is juxtaposed with the main street. There are also densely packed self-built houses here, basically more than two or three floors.

   Some residents here are no longer aboriginals. After the expansion of the city, people from various places either rented houses or directly bought the self-built houses of the former residents.

   Zheng Bo bought a house here last year.

  The house he lives in has two floors. The first floor is rented out and usually charges some rent, and the second floor is where he lives.

  The floor area of ​​the house is actually not that big, about 130 square meters, but it is wide enough for one person to live in.

  The rooms on the first floor are divided into two houses, rented to two tenants.

  Of course, what Zheng Bo likes is not the environment here, on the contrary, he actually doesn't like the living environment here.

  The urban-rural fringe area, for him, is synonymous with low-quality residents, poor living standards, and mixed population.

  However, Zheng Bo doesn't care about these anymore. Living here, he only wants peace of mind.

   Every morning when he wakes up, he can see the people in the four-story self-built building opposite, busy and busy, and he feels an indescribable sense of stability.

  Rising Daysun Trading Co., Ltd. This is a sign with red letters on a white background hanging outside the building opposite.

   It looks like a private company at first glance, but it seems that the business is doing well.

  But Zheng Bo knew that the people working in the entire building opposite were actually spirit eliminators.

Yes, this is the office building of the Exorcist Squad in Luguang District. Zheng Bo spent some money to make sure it was true, and then spent some money to buy this dilapidated building opposite the Exorcist Squad. .

   To say that this building is definitely not worth the price he spent, but what Zheng Bo likes is the fact that he lives opposite the Spirit Eliminator.

Ever since the eruption of the strange incident, he has always felt a sense of horror. He has encountered the strange thing three times. Although it is not life-threatening, Zheng Bo once thought that it was Zhong Qing, that woman and her three children who were looking for him. Come on yourself.

  At the beginning, I bought a lot of evil talismans, mahogany swords, donkey hooves, jade Buddhas, etc., but later found that these things were useless, but it was impossible to hire spirit removers to look after me at all times.

  So, now is the safest way.

   Live directly across from the Spirit Exorcist Squad. No matter what happens, if you make a loud noise upstairs, you can hear it on the opposite side.

  Of course this is just Zheng Bo's insurance policy, and the four of Zhong Qing, mother and daughter, may not become weird!

   After all, it’s just a certain probability, and besides, so many years have passed, if it wasn’t for the sudden outbreak of weird events all over the world, as he grows older, Zheng Bo will gradually forget about it.

  Or, he has subconsciously regarded this incident as a dream.

  Sitting on the old-fashioned balcony on the second floor, there is a comfortable chair under the buttocks, with a soft cushion on the neck, and a small square table on the right hand side, on which is a pot of Dahongpao.

   Zheng Bo has always drank tea directly from the spout, so he doesn't pay much attention to it.

  He has gray temples and a slightly fat body, but he no longer has the sloppy beard he used to have, his chin is clean, and although his clothes look ordinary, they are still neatly tidied up.

  Although he lived in such a place with a mixed population, Zheng Bo got used to it very quickly. From his usual living habits and clothes, it was impossible to judge his previous experience.

   Today, the sun was out after five o'clock in the afternoon. Zheng Bo basked in the sun for a while on the balcony. After drinking the pot of tea, he entered the house after the sun went down and the weather turned slightly cooler.

  After using slow poison to kill Zhong Qing, he killed the triplets who were in line and faked the disappearance scene. Because of the careful layout and meticulous work, Zheng Bo finally inherited a large sum of money.

  He had no scruples, and exchanged all his investments for deposits, leaving nothing behind, and left the Baiyang District.

  Later, he made some investments one after another, but he didn’t have any business acumen at all, and he lost all of them, until he didn’t dare to waste money in the end.

  Now Zheng Bo actually doesn’t have much savings in his hands, and with the monthly rent, he can only survive until the day he is sent to the grave.

  During the day, there is always a cleaning lady to clean the house, so now the house looks very clean. Zheng Bo took a walk outside for a while after dinner.

  He has a fixed place for walking, not too far from this street, and basically concentrates near the office building of the spirit-destroyer team on the opposite side.

  After walking back and forth around the office building of the Exorcist for about half an hour, I returned home and watched TV for a while, then washed and went to bed.

  For the neighbors, this is a widowed old man who lost his wife in his early years and had no children. Fortunately, the old man does not seem to be short of money, so the nearby residents basically get along well with him.

  After lying on the bed, Zheng Bo put on his reading glasses, picked up his mobile phone, opened an official novel and read it for more than an hour, and fell asleep at some point.

  It was late at night when I woke up, the screen of the mobile phone had been turned off, but it was still placed firmly on my stomach, and the light on the bedside table was also on.

  He put the phone on the bedside table, plugged in the charging cable, then got up and went to the bathroom, climbed into bed when he came back, and turned off the bedside lamp.

  But I don’t know what’s going on, but now I can’t fall asleep after peeing, and I always have a feeling of restlessness in a daze.

   Zheng Bo tried hard to close his eyes.

  His blood pressure is a bit high now, but he took medicine before going to bed just now.

  After about half an hour, the trance finally felt sleepy again. Zheng Bo's eyes were half closed, and he was about to fall asleep.

  But in the next second, he seemed to feel a person standing not far from the bed. He was startled, and immediately opened his eyes to look.

   Nothing.

   Zheng Bo's heart beat a little faster. He raised his head and took a closer look. There was no one there, and he turned his head to look behind him, that is, on the other side of the bed. There was no one.

  Thinking about it, it might be because I was about to fall asleep just now and I was a little confused, maybe I misread the tree shadow projected into the house from outside.

  Lie down again and close your eyes again.

   Soon fell asleep again.

  But at this moment, there was a slight rubbing sound, as if some kind of fabric was rubbing against each other.

  Zheng Bo was already a little confused. He heard the sound, but his consciousness did not respond. He turned over slightly and was about to continue sleeping.

   Right at this moment, the sound of friction suddenly became louder and more urgent.

  The next second, Zheng Bo's eyes suddenly opened.

  The voice stopped abruptly.

   Zheng Bo opened his eyes wide and looked forward in surprise. He heard the voice just now, which woke him up directly. This was not a dream.

   Reached out his hand and pressed the switch of the bedside lamp, but there was no response.

   At this moment, a hoarse laughter sounded: "Hey, come and find me!"

  As if the sound came from nearby, this sound directly frightened Zheng Bo to turn over and sit up suddenly, looking around in horror.

   Nothing, nothing seen.

  He swallowed his saliva, still staring at the surroundings, tremblingly put his hand under the pillow, found a flashlight after a while, and quickly turned it on.

   Fortunately, the flashlight turned on.

   The darkness was dissipated a little, but I still couldn't see where the person who spoke just now was.

   Zheng Bo felt his head was a little dizzy at the moment, which was a manifestation of elevated blood pressure. He was not sure at the moment, whether he really heard someone talking just now.

   Something is wrong!

   Zheng Bo, who has always been very cautious, couldn't fall asleep at all at this moment. He lifted the quilt, put on slippers and got out of bed. He looked around the bedroom with a flashlight, but there was nothing.

Because of a certain worry in my heart, when I bought the bed in the bedroom, I deliberately chose this type of bed with no bottom space. Under the bed is a small solid wood cabinet. I usually pack the shoes for changing seasons. The cabinet is relatively small. Small and independent, they can't hide in people at all.

  Zheng Bo was not stupid enough to open these small compartments to check one by one.

  He looked up at the door of the bedroom. The door had been locked by him inside, and no one from outside could get in.

   Then he turned his head to look at the bathroom in the bedroom. At this moment, the bathroom door was open.

   Zheng Bo wasn't sure, he seemed to have closed the door when he went to pee just now, otherwise there would always be a strange smell floating into the bedroom.

  Walking to the bathroom door with a flashlight, she shone a light inside. Just as she was about to reach out and grab the doorknob to close the door, she suddenly froze.

  The flashlight shone on the sink, and there was a black mass wriggling in the sink.

  Looking carefully, the black thing looks like a large group of long hair. The most important thing is that this hair seems to be alive, and it is squirming out, and it seems that a face will appear soon.

   Zheng Bo shuddered suddenly, not daring to look any further, and immediately reached out and slammed the bathroom door shut.

   Then he turned around, trotted all the way to the end of the bed, lifted a stool with a chair back there, quickly returned to the bathroom door, pushed the chair against the door, leaned the chair back, and just caught the door handle.

  I heard a slap in the bathroom, as if something fell from the sink to the ground.

   Zheng Bo didn't think too much, and immediately turned around and ran to the door of the bedroom, unlocked the lock, and turned the door to run out.

  Unexpectedly, with a twist, the bedroom door did not move at all.
