Chapter Sixteen: Mistake?

  Xiao Mo fell silent after hearing this, just as Zhang Tianyi had said. If the mobile phone was indeed the reason why the ghost chose its murder targets, then handing over Cui Xuan's mobile phone to someone else would be almost equivalent to killing them.

  Killing, this is something Xiao Mo dare not even think about. He asked himself if he had the right to take someone's life away. But thinking carefully, what other way could he think of? At this moment, his own life was already in danger, and the ghost could kill him at any time, so he had no choice.

  "I know it's cruel, or inhumane, but I don't want to die."

  Xiao Mu unexpectedly calmly told Zhang Tianyi his plan clearly.

  To die for a complete stranger with whom one has no connection whatsoever, yet to be able to exchange that for one's own life - this is a deal that can be said to be a surefire win. In fact, not even feelings of sadness would arise; at most, there might just be a few days of guilt.

  Xiao Mu's calm response made the corner of Wu Ran's mouth twitch slightly, and even his gentle face looked unpleasant. He looked at Xiao Mu with some disappointment, but didn't say anything, only letting out a few soft sighs.

  Xiao Mo didn't know whether the rotten monk was a real or fake monk. Although he wasn't wearing a monk's robe, he wore a pair of cloth shoes. Although he was bald, his neck hung with a very thick gold chain. He never referred to himself as an old monk, but his hand always grasped a string of Buddhist beads.

  If a idiom is used to describe the dress of a decadent monk, it would be "incongruous".

  Xiao Mo had a question in his mind since he saw the rotten monk, how could a monk who didn't enter the secular world be involved in supernatural events?

  The soft sigh of the Taoist priest did not enter Xiao Mo's heart, and Zhang Tianyi chuckled and said to Xiao Mo:

  "It seems you really have amnesia. But it's good this way, at least you can become somewhat normal."

  "What do you mean? What exactly happened during these two years when I lost my memory?"

  Xiao Mo gazed at Zhang Tianyi's eyes, his expression somewhat agitated. Zhang Tianyi shook his head and replied calmly:

  "The past is already gone and we are powerless to change it, all you need to know is what you should do now."

  After finishing speaking, Zhang Tianyi turned his head and called out to the dazed and distracted Miao Ran Dashi standing on one side:

  "We should head back!"

  When they returned to the hotel, Lao Gao and his two men were already waiting for them. Just by looking at their tense expressions, Xiao Mo knew that something had changed again. In fact, it was just as he had guessed, the only thing that surprised him was that Li Shuai had also fallen into the trap.

  After Dai Lao Gao finished telling his story in detail, Zhang Tianyi said to Li Shuai:

  "Give me your phone and let me take a look!"

  Taking over Li Shuai's mobile phone, Zhang Tianyi immediately opened the WeChat page and indeed saw the voice message sent by the ghost, as well as that enchanting photo.

  Xiao Mo also looked back at this time, and the content received by Li Shuai was exactly the same as his.

  "I don't know when the phone was taken away by the ghost either. I thought it was Cui Xuan-yuan's at that time..."

  "You've just joined us recently and haven't participated in preventing supernatural events, so it's normal to be tracked down."

  Zhang Tianyi interrupted Li Shuai's words, he paused for a moment and continued:

  "It seems that it's not possible to avoid it by simply not opening WeChat, the ghost will find a way to make you see it."

  "Right, Xin Yan, has your expected number of people increased?"

  Zhang Tian looked at Xin Yan, and Xin Yan nodded and replied: "Increased."

  "Didn't it say in the notes that only fierce ghosts can create illusions?"

  Xiao Mo thought of the records on the notes about the abilities of the ghostly creatures and couldn't help but ask.

  "I've told you before, don't rely too heavily on that notebook!"

  Zhang Tianyi looked very angry for some reason, as if he had suffered a great loss from that notebook, and the loss was caused by Xiao Mo's excessive trust in the notebook.

  Xiao Mu's heart rose with suspicion, but he didn't ask again. Instead, Old Gao seemed to have noticed something and quickly changed the subject:

  "Now two people have been involved in this matter and time is running out, we should discuss a solution quickly."

  Zhang Tian moved his body, took out a laptop from his backpack, and then installed several small devices. Xiao Mo didn't know what those things were, but he thought they should be monitoring equipment, after all, they had installed cameras in Cui Xuan's home earlier.

  As the computer boots up, Choi Hyeon-woo's home appears on the screen. The video image is composed of six parts and can be said to show the entire house at a glance.

  Cui Xuan-yuan's profession was a free writer, and at this moment he was sitting in front of the computer typing away at something, everything seemed normal. Zhang Tian-yi took out Cui Xuan-yuan's phone from his pocket, when he opened WeChat again, he found that the photo had changed once more, and this time the change was not subtle but very direct.

  The woman's face was completely distorted, her features almost indistinguishable, except for those blood-red eyes that could be seen clearly. As for her plump figure, it had also become bloated, as if it might burst at any moment.

  The change in the photo shocked everyone secretly, Xiao Mo was almost certain that this change in the photo must be a sign, it was going to start killing people!

  "What should I do?"

  The Taoist priest looked at Zhang Tianyi anxiously, and after a moment's thought, he replied:

  "Hand this phone over to the service staff at the front desk downstairs for safekeeping, and have someone keep an eye on it. The rest of you, keep a close watch on Cui Xuan-yuan."

  At this point, Xiao Mo was looking at his phone and fortunately, the photo hadn't changed.

  Several people discussed and decided that Lao Gao would send Cui Xuan's mobile phone to someone, of course, the monitoring work was also completed by him. As for the remaining people, they stayed in the room, staring at the computer's surveillance screen without moving an inch.

  Xiao Mo's heart was filled with anxiety, and he wondered if his method would work or not. The outcome would be clear soon. Li Shuai, who shared the same fate as Xiao Mo, also felt somewhat uneasy, although he looked calm as usual, still occasionally spewing out a few dirty words.

  "Dying would be better, it would be a good opportunity to end this damn fate of mine!"

  Li Shuai was secretly cursing himself in his heart.

  In the room, only Xiao Mo and Zhang Tianyi were monitoring in front of the computer, while others did not have this interest, apparently not wanting to see a bloody scene.

  Xiao Xiao stared at the calm scene for a while, suddenly his expression tensed up, and he blurted out:

  "It's coming!"

  Zhang Tianyi also noticed the change in the screen, he picked up the walkie-talkie on the table and reminded Lao Gao downstairs:

  "Keep an eye on that phone, it's gone..."

  At this point, Zhang Tianyi and Xiao Mo were both stunned. Cui Xuan's mobile phone was handed over to the hotel service staff by Lao Gao, but... it still found its way back to Cui Xuan!!!!!
