Chapter 2 Mysterious Woman

The next day, Runli went to the police station. Although she communicated with the police chief, the director's words about Xie Xiaohao's death were still the same as before.

"At present, the police can only announce that the deceased died of murder... Well, given the cruel means of committing the crime, the cause of death has not been announced. I also said that the case is under full investigation. Once we have a new investigation, we will naturally hold a press conference to explain it. Miss Yi, that's all I can say, please go back."

"But... according to our understanding, Xie Xiaohao's parents went crazy after seeing his son's body, and are now treating him in a mental hospital. The police deliberately concealed this from us. In addition, according to his neighbors, after the police arrived at the scene that day, they sent many forensic doctors, and finally carried the bodies..."

"Enough, Miss Yi!" The director's face looked ugly and had already made a gesture of seeing off the guests, saying: "In short, the police have a certain position, and the government attaches great importance to this matter. The results of the investigation will naturally be announced. Please go back!"

Runli knew that it would be useless to say anything else, and the director would not tell her more. She was almost certain that this incident must have amazing inside stories. And the current situation is the same as when her parents died seven years ago...

No matter what my brother said, Runli was determined to find out everything.

When she walked out of the director's office, she thought about what to do next, while looking at the notes in her hand. Who should we ask? The police probably had ordered the media to be completely confidential, but Xie Xiaohao's parents were crazy...

By the way, maybe they might reveal anything in their crazy words.

After making up her mind, she put the notes back in her bag and started sprinting towards the parking lot downstairs. At this moment, she did not notice that a woman in black was staring at her back coldly.

In any case, Runli hopes to find clues before tonight. She doesn't want another death case to be reported tomorrow.

On the way to the mental hospital, she turned on the radio. Her brother said that there would be a radio station to ask him to read excerpts of his new book at noon today.

After adjusting the frequency, I happened to hear the announcer say: "Dear listeners, our station invited the popular horror novelist Mr. Yi Runanan to visit our program today. Since our "Voice of the Netherworld" column was established, this is Mr. Yi's fourth time to come to our program. Hello, Mr. Yi, first of all, congratulations on the publication of your new book. This new work has also received the enthusiastic attention of readers and listeners. We will open a hotline later and ask you to answer some readers' questions. OK?"

"Well, I'm actually looking forward to communicating with readers of the 'Voice of the Netherworld'. I'm really happy to have the opportunity to visit here again this time."

"So. Before this, I would like to ask Mr. Yi, is your work still the same as before, an unsolvable horror novel?"

"Yes, I have said before that my horror novels are ultimately unsolvable. They will not make a fool of themselves, but will make readers feel... In fact, horror exists around everyone."

When Runli was thinking about whether to call the radio station later, she suddenly heard what her brother said at this moment.

"Horror exists around everyone"...

After their parents died seven years ago, the two moved out of their original city, and the brother and sister have been dependent on each other for their lives. That terrifying scene is always imprinted in their minds and cannot be forgotten. However, they do not have the courage to hate.

So until now... she is living a life of silence, and she is also tired of it. She doesn't just run away like her brother, just to stay away from those things... But Runli knows very well that it is useless to escape anywhere. Those things are everywhere and exist around us.

After the hotline was activated, she immediately heard many excited voices from the audience.

"Mr. Yi, is your story based on reality?"

"Mr. Yi, I have read your new book. I spent a whole night reading it last night. It's so scary! Have you encountered any sad and negative things in your life?"

Runli was listening to her brother’s answers to them one by one, and the mental hospital was just around the corner.

"Mr. Yi, I have seen all your works. Your shaping of the atmosphere and the description of the characters' psychology are quite outstanding. It's simply...it seems like your personal experience."

A phone call was suddenly answered and said the following words. The voice should be a woman, and the tone was really cold, as if it was a questioning.

"This lady is really good at joking. If I had experienced all that, how could I live until now?" My brother's response was very calm, without strong emotional ups and downs.

"Do you think there really is everything that is depicted in your book in this world?"

Runli tightened the steering wheel.

"I'm just writing novels and never thought about connecting them with reality to conduct research."

The car had already reached the gate of the mental hospital, but Runli wanted to continue listening to the conversation behind. However, the lady said, "Is that right... I understand, then goodbye." Then the phone hung up.

The strange person... Runli drove her car into the underground parking lot of the hospital, and then took the basement elevator up.

After coming to the nurse's station, he explained his purpose. The other party originally did not allow her to visit, but because she repeatedly emphasized that it was related to human life and had a sincere attitude, the other party said that it was limited to ten minutes.

After following a nurse upstairs to the floor where Xie Xiaohao's parents were, he heard a strange cry as soon as he got out of the elevator: "Xiaohao! Xiaohao! Why did you become like this? Wow..."

When I entered the ward, I saw a large group of doctors pressing a middle-aged woman on the bed. A doctor wanted to give her a sedative, but so many doctors and nurses could not hold her hands and feet.

"She is one of the patients you are looking for. She has been like this since she entered the hospital. I don't think you can ask anything. Another patient is in serious condition..."

"Xiao Hao... Why did you become so scary... Who turned you into this..."

Runli walked into the ward and the nurse said, "You...don't irritate her."

It's really miserable... After the son died, both of his parents went crazy. This is definitely not an ordinary murder case. Even if the scene was very bloody and Xie Xiaohao was dismembered, the two of them wouldn't go crazy together...

What did they... see so crazy?

In the end, she naturally found nothing. Back to the underground parking lot, she looked at the watch in her hand and couldn't help but feel anxious. There was no clue at the moment, and the premonition became stronger and stronger. Could it be that she really couldn't stop it?

"Do you want to know the answer?"

A strange voice suddenly came from behind.

She turned around and saw that it was a beautiful woman with hair shawls. The mysterious woman looked very cold. Runli searched in her mind but couldn't find any memories of this person.

"You...who are you?"

"Miss Yirunli," the woman said to her: "Can you... let me meet your brother?"

Ten minutes later, the two sat opposite a restaurant opposite the mental hospital.

"Who are you? Do you know my brother?"

"Although I don't know him, I know him very well and your past." She looked calm and seemed to have no malice.

"My name is Ren Jing." The woman continued: "Actually, I have been looking for you brother and sister for a long time."

"What?" Runli quickly asked: "Are you a policeman? The person who investigated the case seven years ago?"

"No, I have nothing to do with the police. It is the instruction of my father's notes to find you brother and sister. He disappeared three years ago. Especially about your brother, my father's notes are recorded in detail. I also know the case seven years ago."

"Who are you...your father?"

"His name is Ren Senbo, he is a psychologist, but he is also very knowledgeable about supernatural phenomena. Three years ago, my mother died in a strange car accident."

"That...it seems that we don't know your father. My parents didn't mention to me that they knew any psychologist..."

"Anyway... I'll talk about the details when I meet your brother. You are chasing the death case of a high school student that happened yesterday, right? If you want information, I can give it to you. I invaded the police's police network yesterday and downloaded some information. If you want it, I can give it to you immediately, but the condition is to let me meet your brother."

Runli couldn't sit still anymore, and she further asked: "You... are you a hacker? Who are you? Why do you want to see my brother!"

"I can't tell you before that..."

Runli looked at her watch and thought to herself, she probably didn't have time to procrastinate. After all, life is at stake! Let's promise her first, and then consider the future after waiting tonight.

"I promise you...but the premise is that I will first let me see the information you mentioned... I will declare in advance. If I publish your information later, I will specifically state that it was sent by a citizen to the newspaper, and we don't know who sent it."

"That's certain."

Then, she took out an envelope from the inner bag of her clothes, handed it to Runli, and then said: "There are a total of fourteen photos of the remains in this envelope. I will first declare that I will print it out immediately after downloading the photo and have not undergone any processing. In addition, there is also a death report issued by the forensic doctor, which I downloaded."

Runli was always a little skeptical, then opened the envelope and took out the photo. However, she only took a quick look at the first photo. Her heart shook violently, and then her pupils began to expand rapidly, and her hands couldn't stop trembling.

"You..." Runli couldn't say a complete sentence at all... It was the same as seven years ago, and it was such an unexplainable phenomenon! She continued to look at the photos behind. Every time she looked at one, she made a heavy and heavier breath, so that when she saw the fifth one, she almost fainted.

Runli couldn't continue to look at it anymore, put all the photos back into the envelope, took out the forensic report that Ren Jing said, and cold sweat began to emerge from her forehead.

"Do you believe it?"

Ren Jing asked very calmly.

"Yes, yes! It is precisely because of this that I believe..." Runli's voice was obviously choked: "It is because of this incomprehensible existence that my brother and I have to escape to this city... Although the distance is so far, we still cannot escape... No matter which city, this kind of change begins to occur..."

Ren Jing observed Runli's expression and gradually began to confirm that she and her brother were indeed the people she was looking for.

"You have the ability to predict, right?"

Runli suddenly raised her head and pointed at the mysterious woman. Her expression was very deep and there was no obvious expression of emotion. Her eyes revealed the depth that was difficult to explore. Combined with her elegant and elegant beauty, which was not like humans, it simply made people feel that she belonged to a non-human.

"You can have a foresee how long will a terrifying abnormality happen in the future, right? I also have a similar ability to you. This ability is possessed after my mother's death. My mother... was killed by a ghost..."

When Ren Jing said this, she began to show sad eyes, but it disappeared in an instant, just like the occasional ripples on the lake. It seemed that it was a long time ago. Even if it was touched now, it could only arouse the inner feelings. But Runli felt that there was more... a kind of fear. A kind of fear that she didn't even dare to think too much.

"Why do you want to see my brother?"

She continued to ask.

"If I said that one day in the future, I would be killed by ghosts... No, maybe it is not a ghost, but a ghost's existence, would you believe it? Moreover, I absolutely cannot escape, even if I escape to the ends of the earth, this future will not change. This is what my father told me. He is an omniscient and omnipotent foresight."

If it were seven years ago, Runli would not believe such words, but now... she has to believe. Over the past seven years, her worldview has been constantly being shaken. She has to believe in one thing, that is—

There are indeed ghosts and curses in this world.

When she talked about her being killed by ghosts in the future, she acted very calmly, but Runli still captured the slight trembling of her arms and the hidden fear in the corners of her eyes.

"I believe. Miss Ren...but why do you know my abilities? And why do you come to find my brother?"

"It's not only your brother, but you are the same. After meeting your brother, I will naturally tell you all about the details, but it's not possible now. I hope to explain everything clearly to you and your brother and sister in detail."

At this time, Runli suddenly remembered what she had premonitioned would happen tonight and asked: "You... just said you could also have a premonition... So, do you know what would happen tonight? No, where and who did it happen?"
