The Message from Zhong Cai
Chapter 141 The Message from Zhong Cai
Chen Miao sighed, his expression complicated.
He felt relieved about the changes that had occurred after making his choices, yet he also sighed at the way he was dying.
Why did you die here?
It's only the first night, shouldn't we endure a few more nights?
Chen Miao couldn't understand why, after experiencing so much, he didn't bring the Seven Star Peach Wood Sword when he went downstairs at one in the morning when something happened.
Why is there a zombie cooking in front of me, yet I don't feel any yin energy?
Why are there so many zombies in the village? I went around twice during the day and couldn't find anything.
All these unreasonable things annoyed Chen Miao!
It took Chen Miao a full five minutes to activate his Ice Heart state and suppress his emotions.
"The 'me' in the book was unaware of the book's existence. This was a 'rule' that I already knew, so the 'me' in the book didn't know what I would encounter on this trip."
"In that case, I can only say that the 'me' in the book was a bit careless last night."
"Or perhaps it wasn't that I was careless, but rather that I overlooked some dangers because certain things weren't mentioned in the books?"
"So this is something to remember."
"Furthermore, I haven't found any information about the zombies, which may mean that they have a special way of hiding."
After pondering this, Chen Miao quickly located a possible hiding place for the zombies.
coffin!
The coffin inside the room!
According to the old man, this was the case throughout the entire village, so nearly a hundred households in the village should each have a coffin.
This number is not small.
"But why does that zombie know how to cook? No, that's not the point."
"Why can't I sense any yin energy from that zombie even though I'm so close to her?"
"In my Yin-gathering state, at such close range, it would be easy to sense if the other party has Yin energy."
"This is also a point of suspicion. It's very possible that these zombies possess secrets I don't know about... just like the souls of the six domestic animals!"
"After all, these zombies aren't actually zombies; they can even cook!"
"Or perhaps, they aren't zombies?"
"Aside from these issues, there doesn't seem to be any other information in the revised content... No, there's one more!"
Chen Miao's gaze shifted upwards, looking at the parking lot.
"Do people from other villages seem to know something about Fengmen Village?"
"what is it then?"
In his icy state, Chen Miao couldn't help but feel resentment towards his character in the book once again.
Won't you ask more questions?
As Chen Miao closed the book, a thought lingered in his mind.
"Should we call Chen Guokun and ask him to come with me?"
"If there are two people, the content will definitely change again, and they can also take care of each other."
"But that village..."
Just then, Chen Miao was startled awake by his cell phone ringing.
It was Qi Ning calling, and Chen Miao sat up straight.
"Did something happen to Xiaobai?"
Chen Miao's words startled Qi Ning.
"No, it's not Xiaobai, it's Zhong Cai."
"Zhong Cai? Is there any news about Zhong Cai?"
Chen Miao's spirits lifted, but then he realized something was wrong. If Zhong Cai had news, how could those things have happened at the end of the month?
“When I checked my phone this morning, I found that Zhong Cai had sent me a text message last night, which contained only one place name: Fengmen Village.”
"Apart from that, there is nothing else."
“I tried calling him, but I couldn’t get through.”
"When you brought Xiaobai here before, you said Zhong Cai had gone to take care of something. I just wanted to ask if you know this Fengmen Village?"
Chen Miao paused for a moment, then asked a question after a moment's thought.
"Are you going to find Zhong Cai?" "Yes, Zhong Cai has most likely run into trouble, but the fact that he sent me this message means he can still be saved; he's probably just trapped."
Upon hearing Qi Ning's words, Chen Miao's heart stirred, and he replied:
"When Brother Zhong left, he did tell me that he was going to Fengmen Village. It seems that something really happened. I can't explain it in just a few words. Let me go with you!"
Qi Ning on the other end of the phone was somewhat surprised that Chen Miao would say such a thing.
In fact, after Chen Miao became an external investigator, he had reviewed Chen Miao's file in the Administration Bureau.
It contains records of incidents that Chen Miao handled with Chen Guokun, and Chen Guokun gave three final evaluations.
[Gratitude] [Caution] [Stability]
After the last incident, Qi Ning's assessment of Chen Miao was:
[Cautious] [Sound in handling affairs] [Values relationships]
They are largely the same.
Given Chen Miao's cautious nature, the fact that he was willing to go with him suggests that Zhong Cai either had done Chen Miao a favor or that their relationship was unusual.
Considering that Xiaobai was fostered by Chen Miao, and the extent of Chen Miao's care for Xiaobai, Qi Ning felt it must be the latter.
This made Qi Ning want to get closer to Chen Miao.
Who would dislike such a loyal, grateful, and kind friend?
Qi Ning had originally planned to find another colleague to go, but now that Chen Miao was willing to go, what else was there to say?
Chen Miao is not only a reliable person, but also quite capable!
"Okay, let's go together then. How long do you need to prepare? I think it's better to go as soon as possible."
"Hmm... okay, I'll come find you after I'm ready?"
"Row."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Miao felt a little relieved.
However, when his gaze fell on the book, he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
Will things be better this time?
Chen Miao opened the book, and the contents had changed once again.
……
Two hours later, around 10 a.m.
Qi Ning received a call from Chen Miao and was somewhat surprised by Chen Miao's speed.
Have you settled things at your place?
Qi Ning asked.
"Yes, everything's arranged. How's Xiaobai doing?"
"Want to take a look?"
"can."
Chen Miao followed Qi Ning into the Administration Bureau and saw Xiao Bai sitting in a corner of the childcare area, surrounded by two little girls.
Seeing Xiaobai, who seemed a little shy and unaccustomed to the girls' enthusiasm, Chen Miao smiled.
"Let's go."
"Ah."
Chen Miao originally wanted to drive his own car, but after seeing the SUV that Qi Ning drove out, he temporarily left his car at the management bureau.
After setting off, Qi Ning asked Chen Miao about the situation in Fengmen Village.
Chen Miao didn't hide anything and began to tell his story.
However, the information he provided was much more comprehensive than what Zhong Cai had told him.
These were all pieces of information that Chen Miao decided to reveal after reading the chapter content.
Anyway, Qi Ning didn't know what Zhong Cai had said to Chen Miao, so whatever Chen Miao said was whatever he wanted.
Upon hearing Chen Miao's words, Qi Ning frowned.
This seems a bit complicated.
Chen Miao ignored Qi Ning's thoughts, as he was still recalling the chapter he had read two hours earlier.
This time, he died again, but he also gained more information!
