In a hotel.
In a private room that can accommodate twenty or thirty people, there are only Yang Jian, Zhang Wei, Zhao Lei, Wang Shanshan, and Miao Xiaoshan.
Although there is a table full of delicious food, it seems unusually deserted, even the waiter serving the dishes finds it strange.
“Do we need such a big table for so few people? We can’t finish so many dishes, it’s a waste,” Yang Jian said.
Zhang Wei sighed, “There were more than forty people in our class, we spent three years together, and now there are only seven left in the blink of an eye. Two of them haven’t come, one is late. I feel sad in my heart, and I’ve been anxious lately. I have a feeling that I might die at any moment.”
“Yang Jian, do you think I might suddenly disappear one day?”
“It depends on luck. If you don’t encounter any ghosts, everything will be fine.”
Yang Jian said, “And even if you encounter ghosts, it doesn’t necessarily mean you will die. We are still alive and well, so don’t worry too much. Prepare a coffin and tombstone in advance, we will need them sooner or later.”
“That seems to make some sense,” Zhang Wei said.
Zhao Lei on the side said, “By the way, have you guys been paying attention to the news about supernatural events recently?”
“No, why bother with that stuff? It’s creepy. I’d rather stay home and play games,” Zhang Wei said.
Zhao Lei paused for a moment and said, “I’ve been following the news and forums about supernatural events recently. I found out that it’s not just us who have encountered ghosts. People from all over the country claim to have seen ghosts and experienced supernatural events. Many places have been sealed off.”
“Just in our city alone, several places have been sealed off. Besides our school, there’s also the residential area where Zhang Wei took that photo, a section of the highway outside the city, and Renming Park. These places have been closed for a long time, and there are even people patrolling and on guard.”
“I asked around, and they said the residential area had a gas leak, which was very dangerous and not allowed to approach. They said the highway was under construction, but have you ever seen a construction site with a wall built on the road? That’s not construction, that’s sealing off. And they said the park is being renovated, but it’s an old park that hasn’t been renovated in ten years.”
Yang Jian was surprised. He didn’t expect Zhao Lei to investigate these things after being stimulated.
“Aren’t you just panicking for no reason? Why risk your life for nothing? What if you encounter that thing again?” Zhang Wei said, he now has a deep fear of that thing.
“I just want to know more and be prepared for the future, psychologically and otherwise. Yang Jian should know more about this than me,” Zhao Lei said, looking at Yang Jian.
It seemed like he wanted to ask about this.
However, Yang Jian didn’t want to tell them too much about supernatural events, not because he was deliberately hiding it, but because he didn’t want them to understand it too clearly.
The more they knew, the more fearful and desperate they would become. If they started suspecting everything and everyone every day, their mental state would collapse sooner or later. It would be considered good if they didn’t commit suicide.
As long as they already believed that supernatural events were real, it was enough.
“Wang Shanshan, you’ve been silent all this time, not saying a word. Do you feel pressured being with us outstanding people? It’s okay, even though you’re not as good as us in many aspects, we are classmates, how could we look down on you?”
At this moment, Zhang Wei looked at Wang Shanshan. “And why are you sitting so close to Yang Jian?”
Wang Shanshan’s seat was right next to Yang Jian.
Out of the twenty or so seats, they were sitting together, while the others were far away.
“I don’t feel like talking. Being with Yang Jian is enough for me,” Wang Shanshan’s voice was almost indifferent and emotionless, a great change from her previous personality.
“Okay, I won’t disturb you single dogs,” Zhang Wei looked at Yang Jian with a complicated expression.
If he had known that saving the beauty meant repaying with his life, not in the next life, he would have dared to fight back then.
The four of them talked about many things.
Such as their own situations, future plans, and of course, supernatural topics.
Yang Jian also reminded them that there might be more of these things in the future, and told them to be careful. For example, if they had the means, they could buy some gold and keep it, it would definitely appreciate in value. It would be best to avoid crowded city areas.
The more people gathered in one place, the higher the chance of triggering supernatural events.
So staying in the city center was not a good idea.
And there was still a ghost baby wandering around the city center of Dachang City. They encountered it a few days ago, who knows where it has killed people these past few days.
“Damn it, talking about this makes me hungry. Why hasn’t Miao Xiaoshan arrived yet? She said she would be here in ten minutes, but it’s been half an hour already.”
Zhang Wei suddenly became impatient. “If she wasn’t cute, I would definitely scold her for being an orphan.”
“She probably won’t come,” Zhao Lei said. “After all, this kind of gathering doesn’t make sense anymore.”
“What do you mean it doesn’t make sense? There are only a few of us left in our class. We should cherish the fact that we survived. Those who want to leave can leave, but we should gather and who knows if we will have a chance to meet again in the future.”
Zhang Wei, for once, said something relatively normal.
But his next sentence was so infuriating.
“Besides, I’ve just revealed my wealthy status. If you guys don’t come, who am I supposed to show off to?”
“Ignore him, let’s eat,” Yang Jian said, “Wang Shanshan, you should eat too.”
“I ate the day before yesterday,” Wang Shanshan replied.
“The day before yesterday?” Yang Jian looked at her, puzzled.
She made it sound like she had just eaten.
Wang Shanshan explained, “My heart rate has slowed down, and so has my metabolism. I eat less and less now.”
“You should still eat something.”
“Okay.” Wang Shanshan nodded.
Halfway through the meal, Miao Xiaoshan rushed in. She entered the room and quickly apologized, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry. There was a car accident on the road. A taxi rear-ended a private car, and the drivers started fighting, causing a traffic jam for half an hour. I couldn’t get here in time, I’m sorry to have kept you all waiting.”
“It’s okay, you’re so cute, of course we forgive you,” Zhang Wei grinned.
“By the way, who is this handsome guy?”
He noticed a young man in his twenties following Miao Xiaoshan.
“He’s my cousin. He drove me here because he was worried about me. I hope you don’t mind,” Miao Xiaoshan quickly explained.
“We don’t mind,” Zhang Wei said.
The young man extended his hand with a smile, “My name is Shangguan Yun. May I know your name?”
In this day and age, there are still people with the compound surname Shangguan.
He acts so high and mighty, and as an outsider, he has the audacity to join our survivors’ reunion.
Zhang Wei raised an eyebrow and stood up, “Nice to meet you. My name is Xuanyuan Tiedan.”
“?” Shangguan Yun looked at him in surprise.
Is there such a strange name?
“This is Zhuge Dashabi,” Zhang Wei pointed at Zhao Lei.
“Xuanyuan Tiedan, I, Zhuge Dashabi, can introduce myself,” Zhao Lei said.
“I’m sorry, Zhuge Dashabi, it’s my fault,” Zhang Wei said.
Yang Jian raised an eyebrow. Are these two really that outstanding?
“This is Murong Erniu, and the one next to him is Duanmu Heiniu, although she’s not actually dark,” Zhang Wei said.
“Damn, are you guys messing with me?” Shangguan Yun almost wanted to curse.
He actually believed that his name was Xuanyuan Tiedan at first.
He was too naive.
Yang Jian couldn’t bear to look directly at them. He was no match for Zhang Wei, feeling embarrassed, he focused on eating and drinking.
However, while he was eating, he suddenly noticed a set of used chopsticks and bowls on a table not far away, with some leftover food next to them.
The chair at that position had been moved back, as if someone had sat there and eaten.
But looking around, Zhang Wei, Zhao Lei, and Wang Shanshan were all there.
Including himself, there were only four sets of used chopsticks and bowls.
But whose was the fifth set? Miao Xiaoshan and her cousin had just arrived.
For a moment, his previously relaxed mood unconsciously tensed up.
Yang Jian clearly remembered that when they entered the private room, the food hadn’t been served yet, and no one else had eaten there.
That meant the fifth set of chopsticks and bowls had been used after they entered the room.
But that was impossible, because he had been watching the whole time.
Thinking back to what Zhang Wei had said earlier about winning a game of rock-paper-scissors against his own reflection all night, the unease in his heart gradually intensified.
