Chapter 548 [Domain·2 Gates] Companion Park
The midday sun was blazing.
Chen Ji wiped the sweat from his forehead. After walking two kilometers at high intensity, coupled with the weather, he could clearly feel his body becoming increasingly heavy, as if his legs were carrying sandbags.
Moreover, this was even with the passive bonus of [Night Walk].
This is undoubtedly also related to the subtle infiltration of paper dolls...
Beside her, Fei'er looked calmly at her phone, which displayed walking directions to the Companion Reading Park.
"Reaching soon."
"Don't you feel heavier?" Chen looked at her with a complicated expression.
Not a drop of sweat appeared on Fei'er's face.
“Yes,” Phil said, “especially after getting on the paper cart.”
That's what she said, but she still moved incredibly fast, and only after noticing Chen Ji's gaze did she add, "It's alright. It's acceptable."
Everything just happened too fast.
They were sitting in a paper car driven by paper figures, speeding towards the deepest part of the tunnel, where the end was a bottomless darkness.
Chen Ji's sixth sense told him that he absolutely could not let the paper car drive into the darkness.
Something far more terrifying will happen there, not necessarily death...
But it is very likely to accelerate the transformation process.
He tried to destroy the paper car, but the damage disappeared within seconds, as if it were a brand new car.
But just as the two were about to use the strange object—
The paper car disappeared on the spot.
Together with the driver.
"I still don't understand, how can you be so sure that Du Tingfeng and Xu Sandao helped us?"
The two stopped and remained silent for a few seconds before Fei'er asked.
"I'm not sure. It's just a guess."
Chen Ji said, "The paper car belongs to the funeral home. You saw it too; there were funeral home marks under your feet at that time."
"When the paper car disappeared, we were thrown onto an ordinary street, so it had nothing to do with geographical location."
He added as he rapidly typed on his phone:
“I’ve checked the warehouse. There are only paper figures, no paper cars. But since there are marks, the paper cars must have existed in the funeral home... It’s either us or Du Tingfeng’s timeline.”
After editing, Chen Ji sent the message out.
It's a supplement to his previous message, mainly the conversation about the twins.
That conversation was actually very informative. At the time, the twins and the others were probably in a similar situation, having also been taken away by the paper cart.
But the most important clue is the identity of the twins' father!
The child said, "My dad also has a white car."
The driver's response was tinged with malice: "Same as mine?"
"So light, so white?"
"Does it also soften as soon as it gets wet?"
This already indicates that they were riding in a paper car at the time, and the twins hummed in agreement when the driver asked if it was the same.
This means his father owned a paper car, but the child wasn't surprised...
With all the clues connected and the drawings on the child's wall, the father's identity becomes clear: he is the owner of the funeral home.
Chen Ji had some guesses about who it was, but the evidence was still insufficient.
He sighed softly.
The only question now is who placed the curse on the children... because according to the twins' perspective and their observations, the children's father, although busy, loves his children very much.
If we can get in touch with Du Tingfeng and the other person, the mystery surrounding the whole story should be cleared up a bit.
Unfortunately, paper money doesn't seem to be a tool for communication, and he has already tried, but he can't contact anyone by phone.
Just then, my phone beeped.
When Chen Ji saw the attached diagram, he couldn't help but be stunned.
The photo showed a tiny piece of paper, as if it had been torn from a whole sheet, but it was covered with writing... It was sent by Liu Zi.
They replied.
After zooming in on the photo several times, he and Fei'er finally saw what was written on it.
The amount of information is enormous!
First, their curse is wailing; second, and most importantly, it's the identity of the funeral home owner!
Ma Zhao was also a ghost in mourning.
Chen Ji and Fei'er exchanged a glance, both of them showing a complex expression.
To be honest, no one expected that the ghost of 2014 would actually be related to the two paper figures of 309 as father and son/daughter.
Meanwhile, there was another ghost on Zhou Liang's side, living in reality, and extremely malicious.
Du Tingfeng's deduction perfectly filled in the missing piece for Chen Ji: why would the child's father kill his own child?
Unless it wasn't him, and he was completely unaware of it.
And this is quite possible, because the twins said their father was busy earning money to pay for their mother's medical treatment...
The child's mother was not found in their home, so it is very likely that she died later.
Then there's the matter of the red chopsticks.
Several people in the group are discussing this now; red chopsticks are clearly a good match for red bowls.
If Du Tingfeng and his companion can bring the chopsticks out, they might be able to break the curse of the red bowl. If all this succeeds, it would mean that the curse is not unbreakable!
[The question is, why are red chopsticks appearing on the head of a ghost in mourning clothes?] Luo Weicheng asked in the group.
[Bai Shaohua: Perhaps the ghost in mourning clothes deliberately took the red chopsticks?]
[Bai Shaohua: To kill his wife's ghost and prevent her from ending the curse?]
[Huang Yue: But what's the connection between them? The mourning ghost never even appeared in Zhang Wei's storyline...]
At this moment.
Wu Hui, who had been silent until now, suddenly said:
The beauty salon employees were all killed by sharp weapons, not cursed by incense burners.
Her meaning was very clear:
Is it possible that the ghost in mourning clothes, namely Ma Zhao, killed Zhang Wei? After all, he needed a scapegoat to resurrect his child.
"..."
Chen Ji stared thoughtfully at the message Wu Hui had sent.
Wu Hui's speculation is not without merit, but what is the motive of the mourning ghost?
There doesn't seem to be a deeper story between these three people. To be honest, the relationship between the ghost in mourning clothes, the blind man, and Zhou Liang is closer.
He and Fei'er walked towards the reading companion park and stopped at the gate.
This is the location where the twins died, and Chen Ji needs to confirm one thing.
Do you need to buy tickets here?
The gatekeeper, woken from his afternoon nap, yawned and nodded somewhat impatiently.
"Give me your ID card."
"Do I need to register?" Chen Ji raised an eyebrow.
"nonsense."
“We’ve been here before and registered. Please check our names.”
Chen Ji smiled and said, "My name is Zhou Liang."
The gatekeeper looked at him suspiciously, his fingers drooling as he flipped through the register page by page.
There weren't many tourists here; the registration book wasn't even half full.
He quickly flipped to the bottom and clicked his tongue.
"No."
Chen Ji kept his head down and did not answer, his gaze fixed on the last page of the register.
A few seconds later, he seemed to finally remember something, bent down, pointed to a name on the page, and asked:
Do you remember him?
"Who?"
The gatekeeper followed his gaze and looked at the name with a strange expression.
"...Ha, of course, that cripple who can't lift his arm, cough, disabled person."
"They woke me up in the middle of the night, insisted on going into the park, and even gave me a pack of cigarettes..."
"Li Changming*".
