Keep yourself alone

The cold moonlight sprinkled on the river, sparkling in the waves. The corpse floating in the water had a face that was even paler than the moonlight. It was Xie Si Ning's face.

Feng Yusu looked at the female corpse floating downstream under the bridge, then looked at the screen of his mobile phone, which showed that the call had been hung up.

"If the person in the river was Xie Si Ning, then who was the one who called me just now?" Feng Yuxu's voice trembled slightly. The horrible possibility made her shudder.

"Calm down. Although Hejia Village is strange, there have never been any supernatural monsters. Maybe Zhang Yangxu is calling you with her cell phone." Ning Zhe comforted him, "Let's go back to the ancestral hall first. You call back and see what's going on."

As he had already committed a taboo today, Ning Zhe, fearing bad luck, did not dare to go into the water to salvage Xie Si Ning's body to confirm more information.

The two men left the bridge and hurried back.

"No one answered." On the way, Feng Yushu breathed a sigh of relief: "I called Xie Si Ning three times in a row, but no one answered."

"Let's try to beat Zhang Yangxu?" Ning Zhe suggested as he walked quickly forward - he was unlucky today and didn't dare to run freely.

Feng Yushu became nervous again: "I... will try."

But before she could find Zhang Yangxu's number from her contacts, the two of them walked through the alley by the river, turned a corner, and a relatively spacious street appeared in front of them.

On the street, a man and a woman were walking slowly together in the moonlight. The man was not tall, but had a tall and straight figure. He was dressed in a suit and had a slightly loose beer belly. The woman was wearing a full set of OL uniform and high heels. She was slightly behind the man and followed behind him.

"this!..."

"Quiet." Ning Zhe clamped Feng Yusu's neck with one hand, covered her mouth with his palm, and pressed her against the wall.

After holding down the frightened Feng Yushu, Ning Zhe poked his head out of the alley and quietly observed the two figures walking across the street. The cold moonlight fell on them, dragging their shadows very long. "Zhang Yangxu and Xie Si Ning? What's going on?"

If Xie Si Ning is dead, then who is the person next to Zhang Yangxu?

If Xie Si Ning was not dead, who was the body in the river?

The two of them left in the direction of the ancestral hall. Seeing Feng Yusu, who was being held down by him, gradually calmed down and stopped struggling, Ning Zhe said "quiet" and released her, leaving a fiery red lip print on the palm of his right hand.

"Puha—" Feng Yuxu held the wall with one hand, panting rapidly, "Ning, Ningzhe, the person who just walked over was..."

"I know." Ning Zhe's eyes were still fixed on the two figures walking further and further away on the street, and he said, "Call Zhang Yangxu now, immediately."

"Oh, okay." Feng Yuxu quickly clicked on the contacts and found Zhang Yangxu's number.

After Feng Yusu dialed Zhang Yangxu's phone number, the two people on the street paused for a moment, and then continued walking forward.

As he walked, Zhang Yangxu took out his vibrating cell phone from his suit lining.

"Feng Yushu?" Zhang Yangxu was a little confused by the contact note on the caller ID. He quickly answered the phone: "What's up, Madam Bai? What's the matter?"

"Be careful of Xie Si Ning!" Feng Yushu hurriedly reminded: "Just now, I passed the arch bridge with Ning Zhe and saw it by the river——"

"What did you see? Madam Bai, please tell me clearly, what did you see by the river?" Zhang Yangxu's nerves immediately tensed up. He was about to ask nervously, but he saw a red line of 'Hang up' on the phone screen.

"What's going on..."

In the alley, Feng Yusu looked at Ning Zhe with confusion. Her cell phone was in his hand. It was Ning Zhe who snatched Feng Yusu's phone and hung up the call forcefully, preventing her from reminding Zhang Yangxu.

"Ningzhe, why did you hang up the phone?" Feng Yusu asked in a low voice.

Ning Zhe used Feng Yusu's phone to hang up the call from Zhang Yangxu, saying, "Don't get yourself into trouble."

"Cause trouble?" Feng Yusu was even more confused.

Ning Zhe took a deep breath; the horrifying scene just now still made him shudder.

"When you called Zhang Yangxu just now, I was also calling Xie Sining at the same time."

Ning Zhe said, showing his cell phone, which showed a call record of "No one answered", which was Xie Si Ning's call: "When Zhang Yangxu answered your call, Xie Si Ning did not answer my call, but stood there motionless without any movement."

Feng Yushu's face turned pale: "Xie Si Ning..."

Ning Zhe continued, "When the call was connected and you reminded Zhang Yangxu to be careful of Xie Si Ning, I saw Xie Si Ning, who had her back to us, suddenly turn around, her eyes went straight across the street, and locked onto my head without any delay, as if she was aiming automatically, looking at my face expressionlessly."

"When you said on the phone, 'I walked across the arch bridge with Ningzhe,' she was still staring at me and laughing silently."

Feng Yushu's legs softened, and she was so frightened that she almost collapsed on the ground. Her face turned even paler: "How could this happen..."

Ning Zhe took a deep breath to adjust his heart rate, and finally said: "Xie Si Ning is dead. Now there is something else following Zhang Yangxu. That 'ghost' is using Xie Si Ning's identity. I don't know what his intentions are. I am not sure what will happen once we reveal its identity."

So he snatched Feng Yusu's cell phone without hesitation and hung up the call to avoid getting into trouble.

"What should we do now?" Feng Yusu asked hurriedly.

Seeing her helpless eyes like a little animal, Ning Zhe understood clearly: "Just like what I judged before, Feng Yushu is cowardly, lacks independent thinking, and is used to relying on others... She is very easy to control."

Now there's only one thing left.

"Auntie, please call Ye Miaozhu and Gu Yunqing and remind them that Xie Sining has been replaced." Ning Zhe said.

"What about you?" Feng Yusu asked again.

"Tell them both, don't go back to the ancestral hall, the four of us will go to the river to fish out Xie Si Ning's body." Ning Zhe wiped the lip prints on his palm with the corner of his clothes and whispered, "I hope we can find clues about Xie Si Ning's death from the body. I think this may be related to the method of leaving Hejia Village."

As for what will happen to Zhang Yangxu, it depends on his own fate. Ning Zhe chose to keep himself out of it.

If it wasn't for the taboo today, Ning Zhe wouldn't even want to call Ye Miaozhu and Gu Yunqing, and would go alone. But now it's not possible. If you go down to the river to retrieve the body alone under bad luck, you may drown, even though Ning Zhe is a good swimmer.

After dialing the phone, Feng Yusu followed Ning Zhe out of the alley.

On the street in the distance, Zhang Yangxu put down his phone which showed no one was answering the call several times, and silently cast his gaze towards Xie Sining beside him.
