Chapter 549 [Domain - Second Gate] Li Changming
Li Changming!
Wu Hui had mentioned him before. He was Zhang Wei's assistant at the beauty salon, and he resigned after a medical accident... and yet he appeared in the Companion Park.
All the stories are now connected by an invisible thread.
But Chen Ji is only focused on one thing now:
You're saying he's disabled? What happened to his arm?
"He just can't move, like a zombie. Even writing a single word is shaky." The gatekeeper clicked his tongue and waved his hand impatiently.
Are you going to buy tickets or not?
"Do not."
Chen Ji refused and left the gate with Fei'er.
A few minutes later.
The two climbed over the wall and entered the park.
“The ghost in 3014 is Li Changming,” Fei’er stated.
The identity of that ghost has always been unclear, but now it seems that all ghosts had some connection to each other in their previous lives.
The ghost in 3014 has its arms raised at all times.
Li Changming had already shown similar symptoms when he entered the Companion Reading Park.
“But there’s no reason for Li Changming to come to the companion park,” Fei’er murmured. “How could he be involved with the twins?”
Even inside the hotel, it has no connection whatsoever with either the paper doll or the mourning ghost Masaki.
More likely, he's working for Zhang Wei.
However, something still seems off. Li Changming has already submitted his resignation, so why would he still help Zhang Wei with this kind of shady work?
He frowned, put that matter aside for now, and turned his attention to Zhang Wei and his wife.
Chen Ji recalled the scene when they checked in. Zhang Wei and his wife were so afraid of Ma Zhao that they even threw the corpse of the mourning ghost directly into the lobby.
No, it's less about fear and more about feeling guilty.
If the fact that the twins were cursed by the paper dolls is actually related to Zhang Wei and his wife, then their initial hatred towards Ma Zhao can be explained.
He re-examined the line about mourning.
Their current speculation that Zhang Wei was killed by Ma Zhao is reasonable and has a motive.
First of all, the beauty salon seemed to have been the site of a massacre.
It is then known that Du Tingfeng and the other man were mourning for themselves because they had no other choice; while Ma Zhao, who made the vow, was mourning for two scapegoats, exchanging the death of others for the resurrection of his own child.
Driven by revenge, Ma Zhao would most likely choose Zhang Wei and his wife as his scapegoats.
But it was unsuccessful.
Because the paper figure ultimately did not come back to life...
He picked up his phone and sent a text message to Liu Zi. The storyline of these three ghosts was definitely not complete yet; the missing link was Zhang Wei's wife.
So why did Zhang Wei and his wife/Li Changming want to kill the twins?
Following the pen's directions, the two walked deeper into the park and soon found the tree where the paper figure had been.
They didn't "feel" anything; it was just an ordinary tree.
However, after careful observation, the two did find that one of the tree branches was bent rather abnormally.
It felt like something heavy had fallen on it.
Chen Ji quickly climbed the tree and found that there were worn marks on the branches, which were separated into two places. This directly proved that the twins were indeed hanged here!
He carefully observed the branches and soon noticed something unusual.
Near the two main areas of wear, there are several other branches with similar marks, but much fainter, as if the bark had naturally fallen off.
This proves that the rope used to hang the twins was not tied all at once, but rather its position was constantly adjusted, as if it were being tested.
This could absolutely not be the work of a ghost; it's more like the work of a human.
Knowing this, Chen Ji jumped down from the tree.
“It was Li Changming who did it.” He told Fei’er about his recent discovery.
Therefore, it can now be confirmed that Zhou Liang and the twins' deaths were not directly related.
The relationship has taken another turn, but Du Tingfeng also made it clear in the leaked note that Zhou Liang might be the one who gave the method to make the wish.
Zhou Liang...
Is Zhou Liang behind Zhang Wei and his wife's curse on their twins?
Was he the one who manipulated the six sets of wishes?
Just as this thought flashed through Chen Ji's mind, he suddenly paused, recalling his earlier question:
Wait... manipulation.
Why was Li Changming willing to do the dirty work?
Raised arms, a puppet-like, lifeless figure—
“Fei’er, something’s not right.” Chen Ji swiped open his phone and spoke quickly: “Judging from the resignation letter, Li Changming is not the kind of person who is blindly loyal, and it is even more impossible for him to do this for his boss.”
"Could he have been manipulated... by whom? Zhang Wei?"
"But that's not right. If Zhang Wei wanted to kill the twins, whether for personal reasons or to take the blame, he wouldn't need to hang the two children, because the curse would eventually turn the children into paper figures."
unless......
Chen Ji once again overturned his previous assumptions.
He now suspects that Li Changming isn't actually helping Zhang Wei. On the contrary, he's actually being helped, or rather manipulated, by something else.
But the most important thing to verify this is to contact someone.
Chen Ji's finger hovered over the text message interface.
A hint of hesitation appeared in his eyes.
At that moment, another hand gently reached out and turned off his phone.
"Don't bother looking anymore. Ren Yu hasn't sent any more messages."
Phil looked up and said calmly, "He only mentioned two things: one was going to the theater, and the other was that he had said he was on his way a long time ago."
“He never told us any clues related to Li Changming.”
Ren Yu has a problem.
This was something Chen Ji had suspected for a long time, but he had not forgotten the Ghostly Mark on the other party, and the ghost was indeed unable to leave the cemetery.
"...Chen Ji."
Fei'er thought for a moment, then suddenly asked:
"Can the source of the curse be taken out of the hotel?"
On the black screen of his phone, Chen Ji's expression was tense. After a few seconds, he whispered:
"Maybe."
He thought of cinnabar chopsticks.
I thought of how Ren Yu had deliberately avoided contact with people from the very beginning, even before the curse appeared.
Then there's that curse that seems to be able to manipulate people.
Ren Yu may indeed be an entrant into the domain.
But it's also possible that he didn't leave the cemetery alone.
......
Left leg.
despair.
Right leg.
despair.
Until both legs have stepped onto the last step.
Straighten your head and look forward; crack, crack, your cervical vertebrae are making a sound.
Raise your arm, bend it, clench your fist, knock on the door, thud.
Squeak——
The door opened.
There was no one behind the door.
Ren Yu remained in the position of knocking on the door.
Only after a few seconds, when a small silk puppet dressed in a blood-red satin theatrical costume, which was sitting on his shoulder, tilted its head, did Ren Yu lower his hand.
The room was a complete mess.
The ground was littered with shattered mirror fragments, and the entire self-built house reeked of a foul stench, as if a corpse had been rotting for days in the summer.
"Where is this?"
Ren Yu said.
He paused, then opened his mouth again, uttering a completely different male voice: "Zhou Liang's home."
