Chapter 7: Who is the Fifth Person?

  Who is the fifth person in Chapter 7?

  The fiery flames illuminated half of the mountain waist, and the scorching heat of midsummer was even more unbearable with the fierce fire, but fortunately, the mountainside occasionally blew over a refreshing breeze that brought away some of the sweltering air.

  A black off-road vehicle was parked beside a bonfire, with three tents pitched.

  A man and two women sat around a bonfire roasting their first wild game after going down to the countryside.

  "Ke'er sister, it's burnt!" A delicate voice attracted the attention of the three.

  Wang Ke only noticed the faint smell of burnt fish coming from the string of roasted fish in his hand when he heard the voice, and he flipped it over, muttering to himself: "It's fine, still edible."

  "Beauty, which young master were you thinking of just now? You were so engrossed in your daydreams that you got burned!" Tian Mi teased as she walked over.

  Wang Ke listened and pretended to be slightly angry, just about to scold.

  "Report to the captain, I have not disgraced my mission, and I have brought the person you wanted!" Tian Mi said with a serious face, then secretly glanced at Wang Cang behind him. This method of turning the tables on his opponent was something that Tian Mi had often used successfully against Wang Ke.

  "Alright, so you're all in cahoots? Wang Chu seemed to suddenly understand and smiled shallowly, continuing: "I was wondering why you didn't take your car, but instead took the bus. I had a feeling something wasn't right from the start!"

  "Alright, let's get back to the point. Since you're here, I'll prove it to you tonight that normal people can't see ghosts, only those with severe schizophrenia can." Wang Ke stared at Wang Chu, her eyes still shining brightly in the darkness.

  "What are you talking about? You suspect I have schizophrenia?" Wang Chu exclaimed, pointing at his own nose.

  "That's right, the hospital has confirmed that you may have schizophrenia" Wang Kedao

  Wang Chu looked at Tian Mi subconsciously, causing a hint of grievance to appear on Tian Mi's face. He quickly waved his hand and said, "It wasn't me, it was the dean who said so!"

  Wang Chu didn't take it too seriously either. In his opinion, since everyone was already here today, he might as well let the facts speak for themselves and clear things up naturally.

  "Alright, next I'll introduce our members!" said Wang Ke.

  At this time, Tian Mi seemed more interested.

  "This is our journalist Miss Chu Jing"

  "He pointed at a young chubby man opposite him and said: 'His name is Sun Haoming, also known as Chubby, he's also a journalist.'"

  "Wow, it's a big gathering of journalists!" Wang Chu smiled and was about to go over to curry favor. He knew that if he got along well with the journalists, even if he opened a small eatery in the future, they would help him make a food show and he would definitely become famous. But just as he was about to take action, he was stopped by Wang Ke's cough: "Don't be impatient, I haven't finished introducing yet."

  At this time, not only Wang Chu but also Tian Mi was stunned. Obviously, there were only two people who needed to be introduced. Was a third person going to pop out?

  Wang Ke looked at Tian Mi's wooden expression, just like Wang Chu's, and really wanted to go over and slap her to death.

  "The world of pigs is simple, okay, now I'd like to introduce the third person, this is our today's protagonist 'Jumping God' Wang Chugao." Wang Ke introduced with a very respectful tone, which sounded just like an emcee introducing a superstar.

  It made everyone want to laugh but didn't dare to laugh out loud, and could only dryly smile secretly.

  Wang Chu didn't pay much attention to Wang Ke's teasing, as it was pointless to get worked up over a woman. Instead, he found himself increasingly interested in the female reporter, Chu Jing. Since his arrival, he had never seen her lift her head, and on such a hot day, she still wore her black hair down, covering her temples and cheeks completely, leaving Wang Chu with a lasting impression.

  On this day, Wang Chu realized that everything was happening with the cheongsam woman being omnipresent.

  Wang Chu cautiously approached Chu Jing, one step, two steps, three steps...

  Just as Wang Zhuo was only one step away from Chu Jing, suddenly... Chu Jing abruptly lifted her head, a bunch of fine black hair was blown scattered across her face, her expression twisted.

  The crown prince was so frightened that he retreated several steps back, his pale finger pointing at Chu Jing: "You... you... you are".

  Wang Ke originally wanted to laugh, but seeing Wang Chu's pale face, he raised an eyebrow in concern and asked: "Wang Chu, what's wrong?"

  The prince's body had never been very good since he was a child, and just now he came so suddenly that he almost didn't catch his breath. He waved his hand and looked at Wang Ke up close for the first time, beautiful as a startled swan, enjoying the delicate and tender jade-like hand wandering on his chest, making Prince Wang suspect that this didn't look like a gun-wielding hand at all.

  But the two did not notice that Tian Mi was now sitting by the bonfire, roasting game meat and muttering to herself: "Can't even flirt with girls properly, still learning from others, what a coward!"

  Chu Jing, who was sitting on the side, seemed to have heard Tian Mi's muttering and burst out laughing. As for Tian Mi, it was obvious that something was off about her, even a blind person could see it.

  "Ah, such a fine dish, how can there be no wine?" Chu Jing sighed as she stood up.

  At this time, Fatty hurriedly said: "Then I'll go to the village store to buy some."

  "Who can let you go, you're so fat, waiting for you is not as good as the northwest wind, I'll go instead, anyway it's not far." Chu Jing pulled back the fatty.

  Just now, Baozi couldn't help but shiver, because Chu Jing's hand seemed unusually cold. Baozi stared at Chu Jing's distant back, his hair standing on end.

  "Dr. Tian, just now... I felt her hand... it was as cold as a dead person's!" Fatso's voice trembled.

  Tian Mi sat down in the original quiet position of Chu Jing, picked up the bottle of iced water on the ground, and after a while, put his hand on Pang Zi's shoulder and said, "Cold?"

  Fatso nodded in agreement, but still asked doubtfully: "But..."

  Hua spoke halfway and Tian Mi seemed to have left in a huff because she had to separate the "inseparable" couple, her patience had reached its limit.

  At this time, Fatty could only mutter to himself: "But your hand isn't as cold as hers!"

  Tian Mi hurried over to Wang Cang, who was standing in front of him with a huff, saying: "You two are still entwined! Let's eat, you coward!"

  It seems that at this time, Wang Ke only realized that his jade hand had been constantly rubbing against the heart of the Crown Prince, and suddenly he heavily slapped the Crown Prince's chest, causing him to jump in pain. Indeed, it was a gun-wielding hand, hard as steel.

  "Doctor Tian, I need to explain, just now I wasn't startled by Chu Jing making a ghost face, but her face is too similar...I saw the shadow of the late Wang Nainai on her face." Wang Chuxue's left cheek seemed to twitch twice.

  "No, I have to tell the village chief about this immediately." Wang Chong ran along the original path that Chu Jing had taken. Wang Chong was worried that if Chu Jing was indeed the cheongsam woman, then the current situation in the village would be extremely dangerous.

  The two women looked at Wang Cui and could only think that her illness was not light.

  ……

  As time slipped away second by second, however, neither of the two who left returned. Logically speaking, this distance should have been covered several times back and forth already. Of course, the remaining three people were currently most worried about Chu Jing, after all she was a girl.

  Wang Ke suggested that Pangzi go find Chu Jing, but Pangzi suggested that the three of them go together to search for her. If something happened, they could take care of each other. As a result, he was met with mocking glances from the two women.

  The rural road was rugged, no gravel or cement roads, only muddy roads with potholes. As the distance from the bonfire grew farther, the field of vision also narrowed. The three people shared a flashlight, just like they were sharing one eye.

  Because there was a chaotic burial ground ahead, the three of them decided to take a detour, although they didn't believe in evil spirits, but walking through such a place at midnight was also quite frightening.

  Until they walked to a giant stone, Wang looked at the giant stone with a suspicious and shocked expression, while the two men were also looking at the giant stone but their expressions did not change. The two men asked Wang Ke in doubt: "What's wrong? Is there anything wrong?"

  "You've all heard that there are two sentences on this stone, one is carved and the other is written in blood," said Wang Ke.

  The two nodded.

  Wang Ke flipped through his phone a couple of times, then handed it over to the two men in an unusual calm manner, perhaps out of fear or perhaps not knowing what to say.

  The two of them exchanged phones and their faces changed color instantly.

  "Have you understood?" Wang Ke asked softly.

  "Ke'er sister, in the photos taken this afternoon, the character 'change' was only written halfway, but who actually completed writing it on this stone?" Tian Mi said in a low voice, her tone seemingly trembling.

  "Do you think a normal person would be bored enough to finish writing the words of a dead man?" Tian Mi seemed to have guessed the truth.

  And her words were clearly aimed at Wang Chu.

  "Ke'er sister, you can't be so sure, saying he has schizophrenia is just the director's speculation, my patient I haven't made a final judgment yet!" Tian Mi said.

  "Your patient? Just be your patient for two more days and then you can be my boyfriend! I know what's on your mind." Wang Ke joked.

  Just as Tian Mi wanted to confess.

  Suddenly, a shrill scream like killing a pig came from behind the giant stone!

  Tian Mi and Wang Ke stared at each other in unison, saying "It's Fatso!"

  The two of them almost flew around to the back of the giant stone, and the strong light shone on Fat's face, making him unable to open his eyes. His breathing was extremely rapid, no wonder people said that Fatty had shortness of breath.

  At this moment, it seemed like there was a person lying under Pongzi's feet, a woman.

  "It's Chu Jing, it's really Chu Jing!" Wang Ke almost immediately recognized the person lying on the ground as Chu Jing, and after patting her a few times without getting any reaction, he turned her over.

  "She's dead! She's dead!" Tian Mi seemed to be mechanically backing away at the same moment, pointing at the corpse on the ground, falling into endless fear.

  It seems that when people are in a state of fear, any sudden movement around them will make their hearts skip a beat.

  However, suddenly, Wang Ke's mobile phone ringtone broke the silence, and a familiar number appeared on the screen.

  "Hello, Ke'er's sister, you four are having a great time, aren't you?" A mature woman's voice came from the other end of the phone.

  "Wait, you said four people?" Wang Ke's voice seemed to be dragging with a hoarse tone, and her bright eyes seemed to have become murky.

  "Right, you, Dr. Tian, that foolish kid Wang Chu, and the four journalists I introduced to you." the woman said

  Just as she was about to ask more clearly, the phone hung up, and when she called back, it was always an annoying busy tone.

  It's clear that there were five people in total, so who was the fifth person?
