Chapter 3: The Call From Hell

Xiao Zhengyi hurriedly left Sakura apartment after he received a phone call. It seemed like his leader had found out about his work-skipping behavior. From his submissive attitude and the roars from the smartphone, he would definitely have a hard time.

Xu Shenxing stood in silence for a moment, then he looked back to the papers. Different from before, he read the papers much more carefully this time.

Moli stared at him for a moment, then she felt bored. She found Xu Shenxing was still focusing on the papers, so she opened up Xu Shenxing’s old computer.

After a long time, Xu Shenxing suddenly raised his head and said, “Moli, let’s go to investigate these places.”

Although he had to revise through his math book in order to pass his make-up exam, he couldn’t simply put the missing persons case aside. Anyway, it was a case involving human lives. He wanted to make a preliminary investigation.

“Oh.” The little girl replied rather absent-minded.

Even if Jiangjin City was known for being filled with beautiful girls, the little girl’s golden hair and green eyes were quite striking. No matter whether her appearance, or her unusual golden long hair, they all earned her a few second glances.

That was why she always wore a sunbonnet when she went out.

Incidentally, the real color of Moli’s pupil was claret, but she usually wore blue cosmetic lenses.

“In fact, you look a little like an Asian. Maybe you should dye your hair black,” Xu Shenxing looked at the girl who was putting on her large white sunbonnet and suggested, “Then you can change the color of the cosmetic lenses into black or almond. In that case, you wouldn’t need to waste too much time before you go out.”

“No!” The little girl shook her head as usual, refusing Xu Shenxing’s advice.

Xu Shenxing simply shrugged his shoulders and said no more.

After Moli had gotten ready, they went to the old market together.

The old market was far less prosperous than the new business street, but in the day, there were also many people in there.

Moli’s face turned pale and pulled on Xu Shenxing’s clothes. Seemed like she was still not good at dealing with places with a lot of people.

However, this wasn’t the most important problem.

“There is too many people here during daytime. It’s impossible to investigate the missing persons case in such a boisterous situation.”

After searching the the crime scene, Xu Shenxing found that those locations had nothing special.

For example, one of the witnesses said that he saw a girl suddenly disappearing under a streetlight when she was passing through the old market.

However, he couldn’t find any clue due to the noisy and bustling street.

“Maybe we should simply skip over this type of locations, and go investigate some other more remote place. What do you think… Moli?” Xu Shenxing didn’t hear Moli’s answer. He looked up and found that the little girl was drooling and staring at the ice cream and sundae sold in the beverage shop.

Xu Shenxing touched his wallet. He found that there were only a few paper money in it. However, when he looked at the girl’s wistful eyes, he just sighed and said reluctantly, “OK, I will buy one for you. What’s your favorite flavor for ice cream’s?”

“Yeah!” Moli lifted her small fists and cheered, then she said eagerly, “Shadow magic stone flavor!”

“Choose a real flavor!”

“Hum…” She moved her arms over her chest and made a thinking expression.

After a long while, she said hesitantly, “Blue Hawaii flavor?”

“It does exist, but it’s a cocktail. Choose a flavor of ice cream!”

Moli’s face looked surprised, as if she was asking, “What? Are you kidding me?!” Then she asked tentatively, “Strawberry flavor?”

“Why is there a question mark… Nah, strawberry flavor, right?”

“Strawberry sundae!”

“Too expensive! You can only eat ice cream.”

“Landlord… is so stingy.”

“Shut up, you freeloader!”

“Landlord… is a virgin.”

*Kicks the forehead*

“Ouch! I, I’m angry! I will destroy the world!”

“And I’ll kick your ass, smelly kid!”

After their quarrel, Xu Shenxing bought a cup of strawberry sundae for Moli. He looked at the girl’s satisfied expression and felt relieved.

The people around them were completely unaware that they had just witnessed the whole process of the hero saving the world. They just thought that it was a common quarrel between a pair of siblings, and because of Moli’s sweet face, they looked at Xu Shenxing and Moli with a well-intentioned smile.

Xu Shenxing could only hold Moli’s hand and left the place with an awkward smile.

After skipping a series of places where they thought that they couldn’t find anything, Xu Shenxing finally reached the place where he had intended to make a key-point of the investigation – an abandoned dormitory – which was on a mountain behind Jiangjin University.

There were many rumours about why this dormitory was abandoned. The most famous rumour was that the dormitory was haunted, and a teacher had died in there. The rumour was very detailed, as if it had happened for real.

At first, Xu Shenxing had also believed in this rumor. He once made a special investigation, then he found the reason that it was abandoned was just because the quality of this building was too poor, so the university had to abandon it because of the complains of the student’s parents…

Maybe it was because the fact was too boring, and the university also didn’t pay attention to refute the rumor. As a result, the rumor became more and more ridiculous, and finally, the dormitory became a famous haunted house. Sometimes, some students would sneak into this place to seek adventure.

And the missing students disappeared in this place a few days ago, when they explored this “haunted house” at night.

“It has always been a gloomy building. No wonder there’s that kind of rumor…”

The security fence was rusted now. It had lost the original meaning because it was full of holes which were enough to let people pass through.

In front of the dormitory, the flower bed grew over with weeds. The brick road was also overgrown with unknown weeds.

The dormitory didn’t look very shabby, but almost all of its windows were broken, and its doors were also missing without any trace. The dark doorway was very scary because it looked like a monster’s giant mouth.

Comparing with her shyness when Moli was on the street, she didn’t show any fear towards the abandoned dormitory. She jumped and ran with vigour, as if she was ready to hit the ghost’s face with a heavy punch.

When Xu Shenxing and Moli had finished their preparation to get in the dormitory together, they heard a man’s voice from a distance.

“Hey, it’s you! Are you… Xu Shenxing?”
