Chapter Thirteen: Damn it, I've really seen a ghost!

  Zhang Xiaolu suddenly lifted a pale face from my arms, crying out in terror, "No! No! Don't kill me! I don't want to die, I know I was wrong, I was wrong, please spare me? Please?"

  "Looking for me? Hehe..." Lin Mei smiled strangely and made a grasping motion with her hand in the air, and suddenly a strong force transmitted through the air, pushing me to fall to the ground. At the same time, Zhang Xiaolu, who was tightly hugging my body, was lightly pulled away from me.

  "Slap!" Lin Mei slapped her heavily and scolded, "You should have died on Lianxin Bridge back then. It's already a blessing from heaven that you're still alive today. You vicious woman, you must die tonight, and you'll die just like them!"

  Lin Mei finished scolding and dragged Zhang Xiaolu towards the office door, while Zhang Xiaolu struggled and begged in vain.

  I knew Lin Mei Xin was going to drag Zhang Xiao Lu to the entrance of the company building and create another car accident. I crawled up from the ground and shouted loudly, "Don't! Don't do it!"

  Lin Meixin turned her head, looked at me with a particularly strange gaze, "Don't? Could it be that you have tender feelings for her? You're also moved by this kind of woman? Hehe..." After saying that, she dragged the still struggling Zhang Xiaolu out of the office.

  My heart was burning with anxiety, I stumbled and staggered as I chased after them, shouting "Put her down! Put her down!"

  Ke Lin Mei didn't respond to my shouts at all, dragging Zhang Xiaolu away quickly, disappearing from my line of sight. By the time I ran to the elevator door, I was stunned by what I saw in front of me.

  I saw Zeng Mingqin kneeling on the ground, constantly kowtowing towards where Lin Meixing was standing, "Don't kill me! Don't kill me! Please don't kill me!"

  Zhang Xiaolu screamed in a heart-wrenching cry, "Aming, save me! Aming, save me!"

  Looking at Zeng Mingqing's appearance, even if Zhang Xiaolu was killed by Lin Meixin right in front of him, he probably wouldn't dare to take any action.

  "Coward!" I cursed in my heart, rushing towards where Lin Meixin was standing and shouting angrily, "Lin Meixin, put down Zhang Xiaolu quickly!"

  Lin Mei kicked Zeng Mingqing to one side with a swift kick, turned around and gave me an eerie smile, "See you later!" Then she dragged the desperate Zhang Xiaolu into the elevator.

  I rushed to the elevator door, and just as the doors were slowly closing, I saw Zhang Xiaolu's face twisted in despair, with no vitality left in her pupils.

  I pressed the elevator button hard, but it had no effect, and the elevator continued to go down.

  There's sweat and tears on my face.

  Report! Hurry up and inform Lin Wei, Xu Peilong and others downstairs! I took out my mobile phone from my pocket and dialed Lin Wei's number with trembling hands. I thought it would be like the previous few times when the call couldn't get through, but unexpectedly it went through.

  The "beep" sound had been ringing for half a day before Lin Wei's dazed voice finally came from the phone, "What's going on?"

  "Zhang Xiaolu has already entered the elevator!"

  "Didn't you and Zeng Mingqing stop her?"

  "No, she's already gone in!"

  "Did she go in? What's wrong with you two, how could you still let her go in!"

  "In short, she has already entered the elevator and is about to come down, you guys hurry up and stop her!"

  The phone suddenly hung up, and Lin Wei's voice was no longer heard. Or maybe it was at this time that Lin Mei had already walked out of the elevator with Zhang Xiaolu?

  I stuffed my phone into my pocket and frantically pressed the elevator button. The elevator slowly rose with a "ding" sound as the doors opened. In the instant I rushed into the elevator, I glanced at Zeng Mingqing who was still kneeling on the ground shivering with fear, and my heart was filled with contempt for this timid man.

  Watching his own girlfriend being taken away by a fierce ghost, he actually abandoned Zhang Xiaolu for the sake of his own life. If it were me, I don't think I could do that!

  The elevator quickly arrived at the first floor, I rushed out of the elevator and couldn't help but gasp at the scene in front of me.

  Lin Wei at the elevator exit and Xu Peilong at the company building entrance were like they had been struck by a magic spell, standing there stupidly without moving, each person's eyes wide open, their facial expressions extremely terrifying.

  A short figure was floating through the gap between Xu Peilong and several others, that figure was Zhang Xiaolu, and Lin Mei's heart had disappeared.

  "Xiao Lu, stop! Xiao Lu, hurry up and stop!" I shouted in a hoarse voice.

  But Zhang Xiaolu seemed to have not heard anything, squeezed past Xu Peilong and others, and floated forward, right in front of them was where Liu Tingting, Big Liu, and Xiao Peng had died!

  "No!" I rushed forward, and when I reached the entrance of the company's office building, Zhang Xiaolu was already standing at that fatal spot. At this moment, a strong light shot over from the front, and a small car sped towards us!

  Zhang Xiaolu's body was knocked flying two or three zhang away, and then heavily fell to the ground. I was so scared that I was stunned, unable to move a single inch.

  I saw the small car come to a halt with a "creak" beside Zhang Xiaolu, and a middle-aged man in his thirties or forties got out of the driver's cab.

  The middle-aged man looked around and cursed, "How can't I see anyone? It's really fucking weird!" Then he walked into the driver's room and drove away quickly.

  My heart sank! Zhang Xiaolu's bloody corpse was right in front of the driver, why couldn't he see it?

  Zhang Xiaolu is dead. The entire night's operation ended in failure again, or it can be said that our plan was doomed to fail from the start.

  Lin Wei and they did not see Lin Mei Xin's ghost, what they saw was Zhang Xiao Lu who came out of the elevator. However, I and Zeng Ming Qing both saw it.

  But I really despise men like Zeng Mingqing, and even looking at him makes me feel ashamed.

  I told everyone in detail about what happened in the office, and everyone was horrified to learn that this series of deaths were all manufactured by Lin Mei's own hands.

  I sighed and said, "Through the deaths of Xiao Peng and Zhang Xiaolu, I noticed a detail. They were both controlled by Lin Meixin's ghost, first entering the elevator and then exiting from the company building door, before being hit by a car."

  "That's indeed the case, but what does that prove?" Lin Wei's face turned pale as he nodded and asked.

  "This suggests that there may be some unknown power in the company's office building, and Lin Mei's ghost uses this unknown power to achieve her killing goal. Think about it, if she just wanted to simply kill us, she could have done it anywhere, why would she go through so much trouble to drag people into the elevator, then appear at the company building entrance, and finally get hit by a car? Is she really doing all this just to scare us and make us fearful? This doesn't quite add up."

  "Yes, she didn't have to do that at all, we could be killed anywhere." Xu Peilong echoed.

  Lin Wei stared at me with a pair of eyes and asked in a low voice, "Lan Tian, have you thought of any way?"

  "I didn't think of a way, but I did think of a crucial question," I replied.

  "Go on!" Lin Wei asked urgently.

  "I'm guessing that Lin Mei Xin's ghost wants to continue killing, she must create a car accident, perhaps this way she can continue to kill the second person, and so on in a cycle."

  "It makes some sense." Lin Wei's pale face finally had a hint of blood color. "The actions we are taking now indeed cannot stop their deaths."

  Indeed, as of now, six people who attended the classmate gathering that night have died. These six people were all on the death list, and their order of death was generally consistent with the recorded order on the death list, which once again proved the authenticity of the list and the irreversibility of this incident!

  I suddenly remembered the conversation between Lin Mei and Zhang Xiaolu in the office, she mentioned that Zhang Xiaolu had snatched her boyfriend, mentioned Lianxin Bridge, I spoke out my doubts in my heart.

  Lin Wei's face changed suddenly, "What? She mentioned past events with you guys?"

  "I replied, 'Yes, I want to know what's going on.'"

  Everyone's eyes were fixed on Lin Wei, and he let out a sigh. "At this point, there's no need to hide anything anymore. We're all going to die anyway, so I'll just tell you about what happened in the past!"

  Lin Wei continued to tell what had happened then.

  Four years ago, our class organized a trip to Duān Hún Shān (Broken Soul Mountain) near the school, and all of my classmates went. On Broken Soul Mountain, there is a Lian Xin Bridge (Bridge of Connected Hearts), where a beautiful legend has been passed down. It says that if you put the name of the person you love most in a small glass bottle and throw it off the suspension bridge on Lian Xin Bridge, you will get an extremely good marriage, and the person whose name is written will love you wholeheartedly for their entire life.

  All the girls in the class believed this legend because they heard that many people ended up living happily with their other half because of this legend.

  Lin Mei Xin and Chen Xiao Lu are the best of friends, inseparable. They went to Duanhun Mountain together and stepped onto Lianxin Bridge at the same time. The two stood on the suspension bridge of Lianxin Bridge, throwing their wishing bottles down from the bridge.

  At this time, Zhang Xiaolu suddenly said a sentence that made Lin Mei's heart particularly surprised. She said it was great, and she could finally be with Jie together.

  Lin Meixin's boyfriend also had the word "Jie" in his name, and when she heard this sentence, her heart suddenly shook violently. She turned around and asked Zhang Xiaolu in a low voice, "Who exactly is Jie that you're talking about?"

  Zhang Xiaolu smiled proudly, "Who else could it be? It's Lin Jie from our class."

  Lin Mei was stunned, there was only one person in their class named Lin Jie, and the names written on their wishing bottles were all Lin Jie.

  Lin Mei's eyes widened in shock and she said, "No way, you can't like Lin Jie because he is mine."

  Zhang Xiaolu burst out laughing, "Who says Lin Jie is yours? I asked him and he said he doesn't like you, not one bit. But you keep pestering him and he finds it very annoying."

  Lin Mei's hand grasped Zhang Xiaolu's neck, and she shrieked in a state of panic, "What did you say? What did you say? Lin Jie would never like you!"

  Two people in the midst of a scuffle, a plank on the suspension bridge came loose, the bridge could not withstand the weight of two people, let alone two people fighting on it.

  The suspension bridge was swaying violently, and more planks came loose, plank after plank falling off the bridge and plummeting into the bottomless chasm below, without making a sound.

  Lin Mei Xin and Zhang Xiao Lu were too busy fighting each other and didn't notice the missing wooden plank under their feet.

  Lin Meixin suddenly fell from the two loose wooden planks on the suspension bridge, falling into the deep abyss under the bridge.
