Chapter 7 3838538

What happened? Lu Yan suddenly recalled the person who had died right in front of him during the last time at K restaurant, and he immediately felt a surge of tension

Lu Yan will be vigilant; he does not need to be reminded by Guan Ning that he has never relaxed. However, he does not care too much, even though he is currently unable to take on major tasks and does not know what exactly happened to him a few years ago. Nevertheless, he can accept whatever outcome life or death may bring.

"Why?" Wang Yue repeated this phrase, his voice barely audible, "Why?"

"What are you checking this for?" Guan Ning took a sip of coffee and stared at his face

"You can call me whatever you like, others also call me Xiao Lu." Lu Yan set down his cup

At the WC Research Institute, Lu Yan picked up the ashtray from Guanning's table and placed it on the coffee table in front of him. He glanced at the cigarette butts in the ashtray and asked, "Changed your lipstick?"

One can tell from the clothing that this is the old man whose body was previously used by Wang Yue

The wind from the rolled-up coat carried Wang Yue, resembling smoke, towards the door. Lu Yan, undeterred, waved a few more times, and Wang Yue's figure began to drift like an ordinary ghost, gradually becoming fainter until it finally vanished

"It’s not me, I’m just using my body..." Wang Yue said anxiously, "I don’t want to kill anyone!"

Lu Yan closed the door and saw the man from earlier standing in front of a painting in the small hall. Upon hearing him come out, the man turned his face to glance at him. Lu Yan ignored him and directly walked out of the office

Wang Yue indeed appeared to have suddenly lost control due to being unable to locate that WC server. Lu Yan picked up the cup that had shattered into several pieces on the table and noticed that the cup had been neatly cut into four pieces. If arranged in a circle, it would resemble a flower.

Tian ... ... Wang Yue, that, Xiao Wang ah, '' Lu Yan saw his state and felt a bit nervous, thinking that if this conversation went on for a few more rounds, the cup in his hand might shatter again, so he quickly interjected, `` You ... ... ''

Do you have any money? This old man has no money. I want to eat that," the middle-aged man said, pointing to a small stall across the street. "Is that noodles? It looks delicious and smells great! I want to eat it. I didn't get to eat anything before I died...

Lu Yan casually had something to eat at the breakfast shop and rode his electric bike towards the new city

"The person who died at KFC last time, was it you who caused his death?" Lu Yan asked again

The deepest layer of Lu Yan's knowledge is limited, probably just about killing someone or smuggling goods. He only does his part, does not inquire too much, and for safety's sake, he does not wish to know more.

Lu Yan did not knock on the door and directly pushed it open to enter

"Go straight and turn right." Guan Ning said

Ah! Lu Yan quickly pulled him, "What are you doing?"

The room was very quiet, and Lu Yan could hear the sound of water droplets hitting the floor

The corridor is very quiet, and the street is also very clean. Daytime Wenyuan Street always exudes a sense of desolation after a night of madness

Lu Yan fell back asleep to the sound of the old lady's loud voice, only getting up to wash up around 9 o'clock. He took a box of milk from the refrigerator and drank it as he left the house

As he was walking out, Guan Ning quietly said, "Be more vigilant lately, it is not peaceful."

"Is there a research institute called WC?" Guan Ning furrowed his brow

"Your Majesty?" Lu Yan lit a cigarette and said, "Forget it, Wang Yue, let me ask you."

Two seconds later, Lu Yan unplugged the charging plug and chased after it with a small battery.

Lu Yan threw the electric bike aside and ran over, immediately noticing that lying on the ground was an elderly man

Lu Yan, do not forget that you are mine. Guan Ning looked at the coffee

What are you doing! Although he had already guessed, Lu Yan was still taken aback. This was the first time he had seen Wang Yue possessed by someone, or rather, the first time he had seen a ghost possessing someone.

Why? Wang Yue pressed closer to him, staring at him and asking once again

"Don't make the old man have diarrhea," Lu Yan said, but he still took out his wallet and walked over to the other side.

He is not worried about anything else; he is afraid that the people in the building will hear the two of them talking, as the content of their conversation does not sound like it falls within the realm of normalcy.

Initially, he did not pay much attention, but as the footsteps drew closer, he realized that the person was running towards him. He turned his head to take a glance, and an elderly man, panting heavily, reached him and said: "Lu Yan!"

"Aren't you going to wash it? Aren't you going to wash it after eating? Will..." Wang Yue paused, his voice suddenly lowered, trembling slightly, "Won't we be punished?"

However, Wang Yue did not appear again until the old lady across the door got up on time and started singing

"Check out a research institute and see what this place is about," Lu Yan said as he lit a cigarette. "W.C."

During this night, the actual time Lu Yan spent sleeping was very short; for most of the time, he merely closed his eyes to rest, constantly sensing his surroundings.

Although Wang Yue was removed in this miraculous manner, Lu Yan cannot be said to have any sense of achievement

Headache? Lu Yan leaned forward again, and the old man's complexion looked dire; he might already be gone. The doctor and nurse lifted the old man onto a stretcher and were placing him into the vehicle. He noticed some vomit not far from where the old man had fallen. Cerebral hemorrhage?

The office is always closed with a glass door, and there is a password lock next to it. The password for this month is 3838538

It is said to be an abbreviation, can you find out what it stands for? Lu Yan held a cigarette, and he did not know what these two letters could possibly expand to: Wail Cave? World Cup? Wah Ching? Working capital? Without charge?

"What punishment?" Lu Yan frowned, wondering what kind of life this ghost had lived when it was alive

Guan Ning has an office located on the 17th floor of a high-end office building in the most bustling area of the new city. On the surface, it appears to be a private investigation agency, dealing with matters such as tracking mistresses, covert photography, and catching cheating spouses. However, on a deeper level, it undertakes various businesses referred by reliable long-term clients, including background checks and document theft.

Lu Yan subconsciously pays attention to many details, going through both useful and useless ones.

The voice is very familiar, it is Wang Yue's voice

"Who?" Lu Yan was taken aback; he did not recognize this person and had never seen him before. This person was certainly not a resident of Wenyuan Street, but...

Are you alright? Lu Yan could not see Wang Yue's expression clearly, but the previously piercing chill from Jingjing had already dissipated.

"You come here." Lu Yan said as he walked past him

This is the first time Lu Yan finds himself at a loss when faced with a potentially dangerous situation

The middle-aged man standing in front of him fell silent. After a few seconds, Lu Yan saw a vague figure appear behind him; it was Wang Yue

Tea spilled from the broken teacup, dripping steadily from the edge of the table onto the floor.

"I didn't do anything, I don't know why they would act this way..." Wang Yue appeared very dejected, his head lowered, his voice growing softer, "I really don't know..."

The cold air made Lu Yan step back, leaning against the table. If this matter was not resolved soon, he would end up freezing his snot. He avoided Wang Yue's gaze and said, "I don't know, my game interface has always been like this."

Lu Yan walked out of the corridor again, but did not see Wang Yue

Do not call me king! What kind of king is that!

Are you full? Have your long-held wishes been fulfilled and you are ready to be reincarnated?

Is it always like this? Has there never been a WC server? Wang Yue's voice remained cold, but his figure suddenly began to blur, "Impossible, I play every day..."

Lu Yan sat down on the sofa and caught a faint scent of cigar. Guan Ning only smoked women's cigarettes, and the cigar was not smoked here; it must have been from that man earlier.

What else do you want to eat? Lu Yan glanced at him, and to be honest, he felt quite uncomfortable facing a middle-aged man.

Just as I had moved the car, I heard the sound of footsteps approaching from a distance, running hurriedly with heavy steps

Lu Yan was very sensitive to people and instantly discerned that this was not an ordinary client of Guan Ning; this was his peer. Thus, he turned around and walked out again, saying, "I apologize."

The old man at the stall glanced at him, and Lu Yan turned his face away, fearing that people might think he was mistreating his own father

"I don't know, I suddenly fainted, it seems I was complaining about a headache," the person next to replied, "The ambulance arrived too late, it's been almost half an hour, I estimate..."

Compared to Wang Yue being in his room, not knowing where Wang Yue is makes him feel even more unsettled

Lu Yan boiled water to make himself a cup of tea and sat down, looking at Wang Yue, who was standing in the middle of the living room: "Did you kill that old man?"

He tried to wave his hand at Wang Yue: "Tian ... ... "

"Do not make a sound." Lu Yan led him across the street and ordered a bowl of noodles for Wang Yue at the stall.

"Well, my name is Lu Yan, not Conan," Lu Yan took a sip of tea, "It has happened twice like this, and it is difficult to explain it as a coincidence"

The middle-aged man stood still for a moment, glancing at Lu Yan.

Lu Yandong paused for a moment, then waved his hand at Wang Yue. Like a wisp of smoke, Wang Yue swayed again, but amidst the haze, his eyes suddenly lifted to look at Lu Yan

After more than twenty minutes of slow and deliberate effort, he finally installed the rearview mirror. He found the slow pace most enjoyable during his idle moments, sitting in the driver's seat and admiring the black and red rearview mirrors. An ambulance sped by on the small street outside, its siren blaring.

Wang Yue's gaze and expression changed, carrying a chilling coldness that made one's heart race. After taking two steps back, he found himself at a loss for what to do, unable to touch or grasp anything, while the other party could still control things from a distance

"No!" Wang Yue widened his eyes and shook his head, "I didn't do anything to him; he died on his own."

Indeed

Wang Yue followed him upstairs and entered the room

I am now your client, "Lu Yan smiled and stood up, "Just let me know when there is news."

That is a small stall selling noodle dishes, the flavor of the noodles is quite good, but the sanitary conditions are very limited, several stainless steel bowls are simply covered with plastic bags to serve the noodles, and after finishing, the bag is removed and replaced with a new one

Lu Yan. Wang Yue also looked at him

However, Wang Yue did not follow. Lu Yan waited by the stove in the kitchen for a long time, and finally slowly walked to the kitchen door, where he saw Wang Yue, who had become almost transparent and barely visible.

This sentence plainly informs Lu Yan that recently someone has had an incident, with possibilities of being killed or going missing

Lu Yan no longer knows whether Wang Yue is referring to the nonexistent WC server or something else, but the oppressive killing intent from Wang Yue has already dissipated

"What brings you here all of a sudden?" Guan Ning pushed his chair back slightly and looked at him

Wang Yue took the noodles, sat on a small stool beside him, lowered his head to pick up a chopstick and took a bite, then raised his head as if to say something. Lu Yan shot him a fierce glare and lowered his voice: "Hurry up and eat, stop talking."

Lu Yan stood at the door, and the camera in the upper left corner slightly turned towards him. He entered the password, and the door opened.

"I won't work for nothing," Guan Ning crossed his arms over his chest and, after seeing Lu Yan nod, asked, "What are we investigating?"

Wang Yue turned his head and looked at him in confusion, remaining silent

Is it true that anyone you have touched will die

With his mouth open and words unspoken, as he waved his arm, he clearly saw the already blurred shadow of Wang Yue gently sway with the air that was stirred up.

Lu Yan quickly entered the kitchen and turned on the gas stove, wondering if, when Wang Yue lost control later, fire would be able to deal with a ghost.

Hmm?

As soon as Lu Yan saw that look in his eyes, he felt somewhat uneasy. He casually picked up a coat that was thrown aside and shook it a few times towards Wang Yue.

Wang Yue could not touch anything, yet he managed to shatter a cup in such an artistic manner. Lu Yan felt a slight urge to stand up; if it were not a cup, but a person... He imagined the scenario of himself being evenly divided into four pieces, and quickly threw the shards of the cup into the trash bin

After the ambulance drove away, Lu Yan returned downstairs on his small electric scooter, reconnected the power, and slowly made his way back up the stairs

He pulled the power strip down from upstairs, intending to charge the small battery

"It’s just a minor issue, nothing significant, but this is the only clue," Lu Yan said as he opened the office door, hesitating for a moment before adding, "It might be related to what happened to me two years ago."

"Are you just idling around? Let's go," Lu Yan said as he pulled him back. After crossing the street, he added, "Are you still planning to wash the dishes?"

Wang Yue stood in the corridor on the third floor, while Lu Yan felt a faint chill as he turned up from the second floor. He could now basically gauge Wang Yue's state of being by the strength of the cooling system he carried.

I, I..." The middle-aged man anxiously patted his chest, "I... I am 37... Yes, Wang Yue! I am Wang Yue!

"Why do you call me Little Wang?" Wang Yue raised his head

Guan Ning's final statement was not the usual concern; she was not that gentle and considerate

From the look in his eyes, Lu Yan could tell that the old man had likely regained consciousness. He turned and entered the corridor, while the old man paid him no mind and slowly walked along the road towards the street corner.

Some matters cannot be resolved by him alone; investigation and the collection of various materials are strengths of Guan Ning

Guan Ning sat behind the large desk, with his back to the sunlight. Next to him on the sofa sat a man wearing sunglasses, who appeared to be around forty years old

Wang Yue suddenly fell silent, and after a while, he looked around in a bit of a panic, saying, "I need to go out, I feel unwell, this grandfather..."

What a coincidence? Lu Yan looked at him, "I have seen you twice, and both times someone died in front of me? Do you know my name?"

I don't remember..." Wang Yue lowered his head

When Lu Yan returned to Wenyuan Street, it was still early ... In fact, any time now felt quite early for him, as he was currently in a state of idleness.

Lu Yan threw down his coat, opened the door and took a look. Just like every time Wang Yue left, this time too, there were no traces left behind, leaving cleanly.

His hands felt somewhat cold, and his heart sank a little further down

A small bowl of noodles was finished by Wang Yue in just a few bites, and he drank all the soup as well. Without waiting for Lu Yan to say anything, he swiftly placed the bowl, which was wrapped in a plastic bag, into the nearby bucket and bent down to prepare to wash the dishes

What happened to this old man?" Lu Yan asked a bystander nearby.

He entered the storage room and rummaged for quite a while, eventually finding an old rearview mirror that had come off the previous electric vehicle. He intended to install this on his current vehicle.

"Old Wang, you are not old either, so let's call you the Great King." Lu Yan said casually

"Do not call me Xiao Wang, it sounds unpleasant." Wang Yue turned around in the room

The small foyer upon entering is exquisitely decorated, filled with greenery and adorned with abstract paintings that seem to be in a frenzy or perhaps are simply incomprehensible. Turning a corner leads directly to Guan Ning's office

"You all talk." The man stood up and quickly walked out of the office

The ambulance turned a corner and stopped at the street corner, where a crowd had gathered on the sidewalk. Upon seeing the ambulance arrive, they all made way.
