Chapter 59

Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe leaned over to look at the phone in Bai Zhi's hand. The screen was the chat interface with the friend noted as 'Mom'.

The previous message was sent by Bai Zhi at 17:25 in the afternoon, telling Feng Yushu that Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe had finally woken up and asking when she would come over.

Feng Yushu replied to this message a few seconds ago. The reply content was:

【Is Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe next to you?】

【Find a place to hide, don't go out, don't expose yourself!】

【Don't believe anyone except him.】

【They all want to kill you!】

Feng Yushu sent 4 messages in succession. Bai Zhi quickly finished reading them and replied, asking where she was now and how the situation was.

After waiting for a few minutes, there was no reply.

"Not replying again..." Bai Zhi frowned.

"Maybe she also encountered a ghost and is busy running for her life," Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe said: "And according to her description, the ghost Auntie encountered seems to be the same as the ghost watching us."

Bai Zhi also nodded: "Mom should be at the local branch of Qinzhou Medical College now, 20-plus kilometers away from Gubei Town."

And Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe and Bai Zhi are in a gas station less than 5 kilometers from Gubei Town. They are nearly 20 kilometers apart, but are suspected of encountering the influence of the same ghost.

Is the influence range of this ghost really that large, or does there exist two identical ghosts in the world? Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe is more inclined toward the former, because 【God is everywhere】.

For example, the Serpent God Zhao You, who seeks good fortune and avoids disaster, its influence range can also radiate to the entire He Family Village. Comparing the two, Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe feels he somewhat understands what Bai Zhi said earlier: God is a ghost expanded macroscopically.

"Let's focus on the matter at hand first..." Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe browsed through Feng Yushu's 4 messages again.

"Mom asked me not to believe anyone except you, because everyone wants to kill me."

Bai Zhi extinguished the phone screen, somewhat confused: "Does this 'everyone' include Mom herself?"

"It should include her," Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe nodded: "Ghosts are rules, and rules are rigorous. Auntie should understand this, so what she says should also strive to be rigorous."

At this time, the knocking on the door sounded again.

"Boss Zhang, are you asleep? Please open the door." The voice of the gas station employee came from outside: "A pipe outside cracked. Master Liu said his toolbox is in your room. Could you please open the door and help us take it?"

Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe switched to the identity of Zhang Yangxu and stood up. The toolbox was indeed in the corner of the wall. It seems it was left behind here when the employees were moving things earlier. As for whether it was left behind unintentionally or on purpose, that is unknown.

"What tools do you want? I'll pass them to you from the window." Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe walked to the corner and opened the toolbox.

The volume of the toolbox is relatively large, and it cannot be passed out through the grid of the anti-theft net.

Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe's attitude made the employee look somewhat dissatisfied: "Just open the door, it won't take a few minutes. Why be so troublesome?"

"I won't open the door. Don't make me repeat it a third time. What tools do you want? Just say it." Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe's expression remained unchanged.

"Oh, you really are... Could it be that the girl in your room is changing clothes or something, and it's inconvenient to open the door?" The employee still wouldn't give up, persuading slowly: "It doesn't matter. It's not like we're in a special hurry to use the toolbox. You can open the door after she's done changing..."

"What tools do you want? Say it." Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe's voice remained calm.

The two of them, one saying and one responding, started a war of attrition at the door. One side was earnestly persuading the other to open the door, even if just for a moment, while the other side was unyielding, refusing to open the door no matter what, just holding on. But as they held on, Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe discovered something wrong.

His body, unknowingly, began to become increasingly weak, and the temple area began to ache faintly, and a feeling of dizziness surged up.

Looking back, Bai Zhi was also weakly leaning against the head of the bed, her face pale, breathing rapid, and her lips presenting a sickly cherry-red color, looking in a worse state than himself.

Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe turned his head back, locking his gaze on the exhaust fan embedded high in the wall near the ceiling, which was rotating slowly.

"There is a problem with the air in the room. They transported poison gas into the room through the exhaust fan?"

"But I didn't smell any strange odor... that kind of toxic substance is colorless and odorless..."

Mercury poisoning? Or something else?... The feeling of chest tightness gradually arose, Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe's breathing became increasingly difficult, his brain dizzy, head aching, and his limbs began to weaken. Bai Zhi's body was weaker than Zhang Yangxu's, and now she couldn't even climb up from the head of the bed.

"Boss Zhang, open the door, okay?" The employee outside shouted again.

"Okay... open the door, I'll open the door for you..." Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe panted weakly, pulling out the wrench inserted in the door handle. Because of the dizziness, his eyes couldn't focus, and he failed to pull the door bolt several times.

In his current state, even a primary school student could kill him alone.

Just as the door opened, the two gas station employees guarding outside rushed in without saying hello. One held a fire axe, and the other held a homemade short spear in his hand, ignoring Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe, who was weak and leaning against the door frame, and rushed directly toward Bai Zhi on the bed.

"It seems Auntie was right; everyone wants to kill you."

Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe held his breath, and the slightly chubby middle-aged body instantly became straight and slender. The shirt soaked in sweat stuck to his stomach, outlining the clear lines of his abdominal muscles.

The one poisoned was Zhang Yangxu; what does it have to do with me, Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe?

Before the short spear in the gas station employee's hand could pierce Bai Zhi's body, Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe rushed forward with a faster speed, his swift movements hammering the large wrench in his hand heavily onto the back of his head, cracking the skull and brainstem on the spot.

While the spear-wielding employee died, Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe already held a flat-head screwdriver in his other hand, which he had fished out of the toolbox. He released the blood-stained wrench, quickly locked the neck of the axe-wielding employee with his arm, and stabbed the screwdriver into his throat.

The screwdriver stabbed in from the Adam's apple and pierced out from the root of the ear, blood pouring like a column.

However, the neck is not a fragile instant-death part like the back of the head. Even though his throat was pierced, the employee still had the strength to struggle, struggling to throw the axe in his hand toward Bai Zhi on the bed.

Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe's arm firmly locked his neck, pulled the screwdriver out of his throat, and then stabbed it in again.

Pull out again, stab again, pull out again.

Repeating this several times, the dripping blood sprayed out from the artery like a fountain, splashing a gorgeous crimson on the white-dressed girl's body.

Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe put down the gas station employee who had already stopped breathing, picked up the half-meter short spear on the ground, and with his other hand, hugged Bai Zhi, who had already lost the ability to act, around the waist, quickly leaving the room full of odorless poison gas.

Just as he walked out the door, Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe heard a noisy sound of footsteps.

Several cold figures walked toward him. They were the remaining few employees and the boss in the gas station. They held various weapons in their hands: machetes, wild boar spears, riot sticks...

And a soil-gun that had been polished until it was shiny.
