Chapter 6: Dancing with Wolves

  Lin Wei slightly raised his head, gently patted my shoulder, and curled up a good-looking smile at the corner of his mouth. "Be obedient, listen to me." After finishing, he beckoned those people to go about their own business.

  Being with these people is like dancing with wolves, from now on there will be no good days! I fell heavily onto the office chair, drenched in sweat.

  To be honest, seeing this group of people is more terrifying than seeing a ghost. And how could they all come to this advertising company at the same time? This doesn't make sense and is too unbelievable.

  I took advantage of Lin Wei's distraction and quietly asked an old colleague from the company what was going on. The old colleague shook his head and said, "I don't know, these people just joined last week. Starting today, the company is transferring me to the advertising department, I'll report for duty this afternoon, and from now on you'll be sharing an office with them, so get along well, okay?"

  "Uh-huh, got it." I replied vaguely.

  In this extremely eerie atmosphere, I sensed a very dangerous signal. Lin Wei and others must have known that Liu Tingting died abnormally, what was their purpose in coming to this company? Lin Wei, Xiao Peng and others had money, why did they come to work in this advertising company?

  I don't understand.

  When it was time to get off work, Lin Wei walked over and said coldly, "Lan Tian, don't hurry to leave after work. We're having a short meeting in our office."

  "Have a short meeting?" I didn't react immediately.

  Lin Wei looked at others who were busy and scolded fiercely, "Are you deaf or what? Can't you hear me talking?"

  Seeing his ferocious appearance, I hastily replied, "Got it, got it."

  After work, everyone in the company went home, except for the people in our office who gathered around Lin Wei. I didn't know what Lin Wei wanted to say, and sat cautiously on one side, smoking a cigarette.

  Lin Wei was tall and big, but his appearance didn't match his stature. He had a handsome face with a pair of gold-framed glasses perched on the bridge of his nose.

  He stood in the center of the crowd, his expression unusually cold. "Everyone knows what's been happening lately except for Lan Tian. Fatso and friends went to a nightclub, came out and got hit by a poorly maintained utility pole, Xiao Hou went to take a bath, mysteriously drowned in the bathtub, Zhao Yun had a date with Ma Zi, suddenly died on the hotel bed... In other words, one by one, everyone who attended our class reunion that night has been dying under mysterious circumstances. Now, only thirteen of us are left alive, sitting here. The police have announced to the outside world that it's all just a coincidence."

  Lin Wei said up to here, his two eyes staring tightly at me, "Lan Tian, do you believe in coincidence?"

  So many people have died? I was chilled to the bone by Lin Wei's words, shook my head and carefully replied, "There can't be so many coincidences in this world."

  "I also think that coincidence is just nonsense. What kind of coincidence is this, with such a low probability and yet it happens so ordinarily? There's no such thing as coincidence in this world, it's just people trying to come up with an excuse for something strange that they can't accept," Lin Wei said with a loud laugh. "They're all dead, every single one of them who attended the class reunion that day has died one after another. These days, I've been thinking every day, will I be the next one?"

  Everyone was moved by Lin Wei's words, and the tightly strung nerve deep in their hearts was touched. Fear and terror involuntarily flowed out of their eyes.

  It's her, it must be her! The ghost of Lin Mei Xin has come back for revenge!

  So many people have already died, who will be next? Will it be me? How will I die?

  Was I killed by a car, or was I crushed to death by falling rocks? Was I stabbed to death by a passing thug with a knife, or did I die from poisoning after taking the wrong medicine?

  I had a glimmer of hope in my heart that Lin Mei's tragic death had nothing to do with me, and perhaps the god of death wouldn't notice me.

  Lin Wei's tone was emotionally unstable, and it was clear that his heart was also filled with fear. Everyone fell into silence.

  Pangzi, Little Monkey, Zhao Yun, Liu Tingting... These people were all very young, healthy and free from calamity, but one after another they died. At first glance, these events seem unrelated, but upon closer reflection, they are indeed terrifying. Because the deaths only occurred among classmates who attended the gathering that night, with a death occurring at regular intervals.

  No one has eaten pork, but they have seen pigs run. As for whether there are ghosts in this world, no one dares to confirm it, but horror movies are something that everyone has watched. The bizarre ways these people died can't help but be compared to the vengeful spirits killing people in horror movies.

  I thought of those vengeful ghosts in horror movies, and Lin Mei's ferocious and terrifying face flashed through my mind again.

  "Cough...cough..." Lin Wei cleared his throat and continued, "Now, I've gathered everyone together to avoid another death incident from happening. No matter if the murderer is human or ghost, we must catch him and give justice to those classmates who have already died!"

  Lin Wei's words were righteous and reasonable, but in my heart, I couldn't help thinking that on the night he brutally murdered Lin Mei, did he ever think there would be consequences like today?

  Although this group of people came together under Lin Wei's summons due to their fear of death, they were not simple-minded individuals. Each person had their own secrets and concerns. Now that everyone was busy with their own affairs, who would still have the leisure to care about a few dead people?

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, no sooner had I thought of it than discordant voices rose from the crowd.

  "The police can't even find out the cause of death, how are we going to find the murderer? Besides, they're already dead. What we need to worry about now is whether the killer will continue to harm us!"

  "Class monitor, if you want to speak up for them, we won't stop you. But we're just classmates with those people, don't drag us down with you, we still want to live a few more years."

  "Yes, we all want to live for several more years."

  “……”

  Although what they say is unpleasant to hear, it also makes sense in terms of self-preservation.

  Lin Wei just said and what I saw with my own eyes from the surveillance that night, it can be said that the situation is already very clear, and everyone has a bad premonition! Because all the evidence points to the fact that the murderer is likely to be an evil spirit! And it's highly likely that Lin Meixin's ghost came back for revenge.

  The fierce ghost kills people, it's not something that worldly powers can control, nor is it something that ordinary people like us can contend with!

  Although I feel very guilty about Liu Tingting's death and curious about the truth of this incident, even so, I still don't plan to intervene in this matter. After all, Lin Meixin's death really has nothing to do with me!

  In the face of life, some things seem very pale and powerless. I have the same idea as most people, and I also want to live a few more years.

  Lin Wei suddenly shouted after a brief silence, "Don't think that this matter has nothing to do with you. Everyone was involved in what happened that night. If you don't want to die, don't leave! Let's work together to investigate and clarify this matter!"

  Lin Wei suddenly flew into a rage, and everyone else didn't dare to make a sound. I saw that every person's face was filled with fear. This meeting organized by Lin Wei lasted for two or three hours. In the end, under his coercion, everyone chose to stay and participate.

  As I walked out of the company building, I somehow ended up at the place where Liu Tingting had her accident. Whether it was my illusion or subconsciousness playing tricks on me, I could still smell a strong bloody odor here. I looked around and immediately, Liu Tingting's eyes that refused to close in death appeared in my mind.

  I shivered and subconsciously took two steps back, preparing to leave. But suddenly a voice came from behind me, "Lan Tian, wait for me."

  I turned around and saw a guy named Xiao Peng running towards me.

  I'm somewhat surprised, how did he come?

  "What's wrong?" I asked him somewhat irritably.

  Xiao Peng smiled and said, "The class monitor asked me to go to your house to accompany you, just in case something happens, there's someone to take care of you."

  Come to my place and keep me company? Could it be that Lin Wei is worried I'll leave and sent him to spy on me?

  I let out an "oh" and continued walking towards the dormitory with Xiaopeng. The yin soul taboo
