“What do you think, from where should we start investigating this case?”

Putting down the information, Bei Quan smiled and asked for his new partner’s opinion.

Jiang Nan’an looked confused.

But he did not admit defeat and seriously thought about it.

“I think the biggest possibility is that the abandoned amusement park has a problem.”

Jiang Nan’an pondered over it and came to a conclusion.

“Oh?”

Bei Quan smiled and asked, “Why?”

——Here we go!

——The legendary test that’s given to all newcomers!

Jiang Nan’an immediately became very energetic.

“From the current information, the people who entered the amusement park have no special background.”

Comrade Jiang nodded towards the information piled up like a mountain on the table.

“So, if these serial suicides are really connected, the problem should still be in the amusement park.”

He rubbed his chin.

“Speaking of which, about six months ago, when I went out with the master, I also encountered a similar incident!”

“Oh?”

Bei Quan did not care that Jiang Nanan had diverged from the topic and instead asked with interest,

“What is it?”

So Jiang Nan’an began to chatter up.

Comrade Jiang was an orphan adopted by the Shaolin Temple.

Because he grew up in a monastery and his physique was quite special, Jiang Nan’an made a career plan for himself very early— when he was eighteen years old, he cut his hair, became a monk and often accompanied the green lantern.

However, Jiang Nan’an was very smart and good at studying, although a bit stubborn.

His grades had always been very good, so good in fact, that he was third in the whole grade in the high school mock test.

In that case, what else to say?

The master pointed his finger at him and said, “Apprentice you are not connected to the world, go to college.”

In a flash, four years later, Jiang Nan’an had graduated from university. Because of some emotional setbacks, he didn’t go to the postgraduate entrance examination. Instead, he returned to the Shaolin Temple and continued to practice with his master.

What he told Bei Quan next was an experience from six months ago.

That time, his master took him to a village called Land and Water Law Council.

During the Zhai meeting, the old monk listened to the villagers chatting, talking about a family surnamed Jing in the village, and about a lot of strange things that have been happening recently.

The Jing family had a dog that had been raised at home for many years but suddenly went crazy for no reason. The dog went mad but didn’t bite anyone— it only began slamming its head against the wall until it cracked open its skull and died due to loss of blood.

After the dog’s death, the daughter-in-law who had just married into the family also went crazy. She wandered around the yard as if she was sleepwalking, every day. She was sent to the hospital for three to five days, but then sent back home as if nothing had happened. However, she would get “sick” again within two weeks after they came home.

As a last resort, the Jing family had to send their daughter-in-law back to her mother’s house.

When it came to this stubble, the villagers had different opinions.

Some say that Feng Shui in the ancestral tombs of the Jing family was bad, some say that the young couple committed some crime, and others say that they were being punished for offending Huang Daxian

After listening, the old monk pondered for a long time. He immediately asked someone to lead the way and went directly to Jing’s house. He asked the owner to dig under the wall of the ghost gate in the northwest corner of the yard. Sure enough, he dug out a rough puppet at the root of the wall.

The little puppet had no eyes on its face and a red pushpin was inserted in the middle of its forehead.

“Aigoo, Luban Technique?”

Hearing this, Bei Quan has guessed, “I’m afraid the Jing family offended a mason.”

“Yes, that’s it.”

Jiang Nan’an nodded repeatedly, “When the Jing family began building their new house, they didn’t agree with the price of the construction team. It happened that the foreman was upset and knew some tricks. He buried a voodoo doll at the root of the wall of their yard, hoping to teach the family a lesson.”

“So…”

Bei Quan narrowed his eyes when he heard those words. “Do you suspect that the abandoned amusement park may have been tampered with?”

Jiang Nan’an nodded, “After all, the serial suicides of those little anchors was really abnormal, so I doubt that they may have collided with something in the amusement park.”

He thought about it and added, “Even if there has been no accident in the amusement park before, it can’t be guaranteed that after having been abandoned for ten years no one will be there…”

Jiang Nan’an made a gesture of raising and dropping the knife, “For example, kill a person, kill a mouth, and then destroy a corpse or something.”

Bei Quan nodded.

“This is really a good direction to start.”

He smiled and looked down at his watch.

It was eleven twenty in the morning.

“It’s still early. Let’s go to the abandoned amusement park.”

Bei Quan made a decisive decision.

——————————–

At the same time, Wei Fuyuan dragged his luggage to the apartment hotel he had reserved, went through the formalities, took the door card, and entered the room. After closing the door, he woke up from his confused state.

“Strange…”

Wei Fuyuan turned his head and looked at the big box in the corner.

“What’s going on?”

He pressed his forehead hard, trying to remember what had happened before.

“Oh… Yes.”

Wei Fuyuan finally remembered.

He was fired from the warehouse where he used to work. He had no place to live. So he had to pack up and move here temporarily.

“No!”

Wei Fuyuan suddenly opened his eyes.

He remembered that just ten minutes ago when he checked in at the front desk, the girl at the front desk told him that the room rate and deposit had been paid… Three months!?

“No!”

Wei Fuyuan was going crazy. He quickly took out his mobile phone and wanted to check the credit card deduction bill.

The price of this hotel apartment was not cheap at all. If he really wanted to live here for three months, he would have to pay all the living expenses he had saved!

But there was no new bank deduction prompt in a mobile phone text message.

He didn’t give up and opened his online banking but found that there was no shortage of deposits.

——Did I hear wrong?

Wei Fuyuan picked up the phone in the room, dialed the front desk, and confirmed it again.

“Yes, Mr. Wei.”

The girl at the front desk obviously remembered him, and her attitude was very enthusiastic. “Your three-month rent and deposit have been paid in full.”

Wei Fuyuan: “???”

He hung up the phone in confusion.

“This… Damn it…”

Young Master Wei sat down on the small sofa in the suite, and his whole person was in a mess.

“No…it’s not right.”

He began to try to recall all kinds of things during this period.

Wei Fuyuan clearly remembered that he fell out with his parents a few days ago because he came out of the closet. His parents cut off his finances, so he decided to take a part-time job.

Then he got a job at the warehouse.

He didn’t know why but that job had flexible working hours and very good treatment. It was just that he had to stay up late often.

And he was made a permanent employee but suddenly the boss fired him. Fortunately, they gave him an additional three months’ severance pay, so that he could afford the rent of a temporary place.

“… something’s still wrong.”

Wei Fuyuan said to himself.

He did leave so suddenly that he had no time to rent a house, so he had to find such a very cheap place to live temporarily.

But he does not have a brain deficiency. How could he live here for three months!?

And now he had a lot of money in his bank card, and the hotel wouldn’t do charity just because he was handsome. Who paid the rent for him for three months?

——No, there is something even stranger than this…

Wei Fuyuan frowned deeply.

Although he remembered his working experience in the past three months.

Including which warehouse he worked in, what his work content was, and what his boss and colleagues looked like— there seemed to be nothing to doubt.

But when he thought deeply, Wei Fuyuan found that he couldn’t remember many details about the part-time at all.

He was in charge of the warehouse, but what is the format of the warehouse registration form? How many times a day do you order? How many rows are there on the shelf? What is the pattern of the numbers on each shelf? … Wei Fuyuan found that he couldn’t remember anything.

If he had to describe it, it was like he had just read a book in which the protagonist was a part-time warehouse keeper. The part-time job was very hard, day and night were reversed, and he almost failed the final exam.

But because the author didn’t cover all the details in the story, the reader only knew what the protagonist did after closing the book, but couldn’t clearly describe the overly trivial details.

“… what the fuck…”

Wei Fuyuan only felt a burst of darkness in front of his eyes.

He simply doubted whether he got up early and took the wrong medicine. Otherwise, how could he feel that he seemed to have lost a long and important memory? Now, who made it up in his mind for more than three months?

Although this feeling was very unreasonable, Wei Fuyuan felt that this might be the most reasonable explanation.

——I can’t have been kidnapped by aliens or photographed by the pen of men in black?

The two temples began to twitch with faint pain. Wei Fuyuan pressed his temples hard, trying to figure out the slightest clue amidst the chaotic thoughts.

But the more he thought about it, the more distinct the pain became.

Later, Wei Fuyuan felt like he had two electric drills drilling holes in his temples. He was so uncomfortable that he wanted to bang open his head now.

“! ! !”

Wei Fuyuan reluctantly propped himself up, then moved to the bedside with difficulty, directly faced down, and threw himself on the bed.

He stopped thinking about the confusing memories and tried to empty his mind.

After lying like a corpse for a long time, the splitting headache gradually eased down.

Wei Fuyuan turned to his side, took out the mobile phone from his coat pocket, and decided to order himself lunch.

He unlocked the screen and began looking for a “mei x takeaway”.

But when he reached the last page, he was suddenly stunned.

Wei Fuyuan saw that in the corner of the screen, there was an app icon he had never seen before.

The icon was very simple. It was a black square with a small red dot in the middle. The name displayed below was a string of random codes.

Wei Fuyuan couldn’t remember when he had downloaded such a thing.

He tried to poke it with his finger, no opening screen ads, no terms and conditions pop-ups, no application instructions, and directly popped up a login screen.

Wei Fuyuan: “?”

He swiped to the right and quit this strange and unfamiliar app.

In line with the principle of “deleting applications of unknown origin without saying a word,” Wei Fuyuan pressed out the menu.

However, just as he was about to press “uninstall”, a conversation between himself and someone flashed through Wei Fuyuan’s mind without warning——

[What’s this?]
