Chapter 169 Dark Abyss
Chapter 169: Dark Abyss

After noon, He Yige received a phone call and left in a hurry.

Bai Yanliang called Xun Weimo, the owner of Mercury Night, hoping that he would be free tomorrow to go to Xiaqiao Street together.

Xun Weimo agreed readily.

"What's wrong?" Yu Sheng looked at Bai Yanliang, who seemed to be thinking about something after hanging up the phone, and asked puzzledly.

"Nothing." Bai Yanliang shook his head slightly.

It was just a feeling. He always felt that something was wrong with Xun Weimo.

When they first met, he gave the man a quick glance.

He was young and handsome, about twenty-five years old.

Owning a bar of his own at such a young age, he must be a winner in life.

However, last night, the Mercury Night clerk who had been very nice to Bai Yanliang and the other two walked hurriedly when facing Xun Weimo, and didn't even look up to say hello, as if he couldn't see them.

This is not just an isolated case, but all the store clerks are like this, which is very suspicious.

However, because the purpose at that time was to find Ren Wudao, Bai Yanliang did not pay too much attention to Xun Weimo.

And even if he has a problem, it doesn't necessarily have anything to do with Ren Wudao. In this world, everyone has a few secrets, big or small, which is normal.

The reason why Bai Yanliang contacted him was, firstly, to get in touch with him again and try to find out something, and secondly, he was really needed on this trip. After all, he was the only one who had seen the man in the hat.

At this time, the door outside the yard rang.

When Li Mu knocked on the door, he found a familiar face in the yard.

"Yu Sheng? Why are you here?"

Yu Sheng was grateful to Li Mu. She owed Li Mu a big favor for the trip to Wuji Village.

Although nothing happened to Li Mu later, a favor is still a favor.

However, Yu Sheng didn't know how to answer Li Mu's question.

At this time, Bai Yanliang spoke up to resolve the situation.

"Let's talk about your story first, Li Mu. When did you start dreaming about that weird old man?"

Li Mugang sat down on the stone bench and listened to Bai Yanliang talking about this matter. His face turned pale.

"On February 21, that night, I dreamed of the old man for the first time. Since then, I have dreamed of him every night. He appears more and more frequently, and the time I can sleep is getting shorter and shorter. During this period of time, I sleep less than four hours a day."

"Did you do anything special that day?" Bai Yanliang continued to ask.

"Something special..." Li Mu frowned and thought about it carefully.

At that time, I had just returned from the Wuji Village, and I was exhausted both physically and mentally. I hadn’t done anything special at all…

Thinking of this, Li Mu shook his head and confirmed: "I can be sure that I did not do anything special that day. I just went to get off work and rested at home."

If that's the case, there will be big problems.

The so-called clues are the abnormalities. Li Mu has been having nightmares continuously since that day, so there must be something different about him on February 21st.

But after thinking about it carefully, Li Mu assured Bai Yanliang that he hadn't done anything special, or even gone to any special place. "What if you didn't take the initiative to do it, but encountered it passively? For example, on the way to and from get off work, you saw something strange, or encountered someone else's funeral or something like that." Bai Yanliang asked in a different way.

Li Mu recalled what happened on February 21st again. If he had not dreamed of the old man for the first time that day, it would have been an ordinary day.

After a while, Li Mu shook his head again: "No, it's just an ordinary day, nothing special like usual."

At this point, Bai Yanliang was also a little confused.

This kind of thing that you have no clue about is the most troublesome to deal with in the early stages.

At this time, Yu Sheng suddenly raised a question.

"Mr. Li, if it's not February 21st now, but February 21st of last year, or the year before last, or if you said something or did something before that, as long as it's related to February 21st, can you still remember it?"

Yu Sheng’s question made Bai Yanliang’s eyes light up. He looked at Yu Sheng with appreciation and then turned his gaze to Li Mu.

Yu Sheng felt a little embarrassed, but when she saw the admiration in Bai Yanliang's eyes, she was also very happy in her heart.

After hearing what Yu Sheng said, Li Mu couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

If it wasn't February 21st this year, but something in the past, or something related to February 21st...

Li Mu's pupils suddenly shrank, and he stood up suddenly: "I remember it!"

He looked at Yu Sheng and Bai Yanliang and said in disbelief, "It was a case last year, the Liangcheng corpse dumping case. At the beginning of last year, the Dark Abyss was at its most rampant. On February 19th, we found six bodies at the musical fountain statue in the city center. They were all men."

"We spent two days, and apart from knowing that it was the work of those nine lunatics from the Abyss, we didn't find any clues, and we couldn't find any trace of them, so... on the 21st, I said that we must at least find the body..."

It turned out to be the case.

Listening to Li Mu's story, Bai Yanliang and Yu Sheng both understood that Li Mu was haunted by ghosts, and it was most likely the six corpses that were causing the trouble.

Li Mu said at the time that he would find them back, but a year later, there was still no clue about the whole thing, so... they started.

"Huh, that's really weird. If they turned into ghosts, why didn't they seek revenge on the people who killed them, but only bully the good people?" Yu Sheng said indignantly.

This was originally an expression of sympathy and dissatisfaction with Li Mu's experience, but when Bai Yanliang heard it, it unexpectedly gave him another idea.

"Yu Sheng, you might be a genius."

Bai Yanliang sighed.

"what?"

Yu Sheng was a little confused when she was suddenly praised by Bai Yanliang. Although she was very happy, she always felt something was strange.

"Li Mu, what's haunting you is not a ghost, but a curse cast on you by someone." Bai Yanliang said firmly.

Li Mu is also a smart man. After Bai Yanliang said this, although he still found it hard to believe that in the real world, someone could curse others, but almost instantly, the object of suspicion popped up in his mind.

"Abyss! I have been keeping a close eye on that organization. I have disrupted their criminal plans several times and almost caught Key and Boneslayer. If there is anyone who really hates me to the core, it should be them."

This organization again.

Bai Yanliang raised his eyebrows and suddenly smiled: "It just so happens that they all came to Yecheng. I am also a little curious... about the identities, purposes, and methods of those people."
