In the morning, it was already dawn. Unlike K City, the weather in L City was a little bit cooler, even the sunlight was a little bit cooler.
Xu Fang left the station and stepped into downtown with the crowd. Instead of finding a place to rest, he bought another train ticket to B City at 9am, which would arrive at 5pm as it was not a high speed train.
To buy a train ticket, you need an ID card. According to the traffic network, the police can easily find out Xu Fang's travel record. Therefore, Xu Fang would not take this train, it was just an insurance that he bought to divert the attention of the police.
After buying the ticket, he went into a large supermarket, where he bought a backpack, a watch, water and some food. He also bought a sharp fruit knife in the furniture section.
Leaving the supermarket, Xu Fang hoofed it to the nearest cell phone mall and bought a smartphone and two rechargeable batteries. By the way, he got a new card.
He bought a smartphone as a backup, because he can only rely on smart electronic devices to access the Horror Novel Web and code updates. He did not buy a laptop because it was not easy to carry, and because for him, a handicapped person, the speed of coding with a cell phone is similar to that of a laptop.
Finally, Xu Fang went to the clothing city and changed into a new set of clothes. Long-sleeved shirt with sports pants, and a cap on his head. He adjusted the time on his watch. 7:45.
After the shopping spree, several thousand dollars were spent like water.
The next step is to buy a bus ticket,Xu Fang thought.
Xu Fang did not know the distribution of the counties around L city, but he subconsciously felt that the remote areas should be safer, so he bought a ticket to "Dongda Town". It was 250 kilometers away, 4 hours to the place.
Dongda Town is a small town with a non-agricultural population of several hundred square kilometers, and many areas are still cottage areas. But now the country is in the process of high-speed construction, it is expected that in a few years this place will also be full of high-rise buildings.
......
Just as Xu Fang was boarding the bus to Dongda Town, something happened at the K-City Transportation University, a few hundred kilometers away.
At eight o'clock in the morning, when the students were hurriedly preparing for class, a girl spared a far to buy a breakfast and walked past the back of the third apartment. Suddenly she saw a piece of blood red. At first she thought it was someone's garbage, but when she looked closer, her eyes widened in horror.
Where was this garbage, it was clearly a bloody corpse!
"Ah...!!!" With an ear-piercing scream, Luo Xiaoming's death was revealed.
This moment also represented the moment when the chase between life and death of Xu Fang finally entered the main scene.
****
Meanwhile, Xu Fang, who was sitting in the bus heading to Dongda Town, shivered violently as he lifted his sleep-filled eyelids and suddenly felt a little cold. He looked around vigilantly, surveyed for a while, found nothing wrong, so he closed his eyes again.
He was very tired now, he stayed up late the day before yesterday and didn't sleep all day yesterday, he needed to take a nap before reaching Dongda Town.
The quality of sleep was not very good, and the bus kept bumping around, so Xu Fang woke up every time just before he fell asleep. Later, Xu Fang simply stopped sleeping and took out his cell phone to browse the web, especially to read the news of K city.
After going through the news for a while, he didn't find anything about the jump. Maybe the reporters were too late to report it. At this time, no surprise, Luo Xiaoming's body should have been found.
I guess his roommates and the police are looking for him now. When the police found out that Xu Fang disappeared, they would definitely list Xu Fang as a suspect and try to find him through various ways. Probably his parents also found out that he was missing now.
Thinking of his parents, Xu Fang's heart tightened again.
In this world, Xu Fang's most important people are his parents, but since high school, he has never let them stop worry about him.
Before high school, Xu Fang was a good student, with good character and good academic performance, and was known as "other people's kid". The teacher also said that this kid would be the seedling of a famous university in the future. At that time, Xu Fang's parents were so proud that they would praise Xu Fang's goodness to everyone.
However, one day after high school, Xu Fang fell into degradation, neither studying nor making friends, but writing novels and indulging in his own plot. Finally, he wasted his youth and came to a miscellaneous university.
Xu Fang came to the university before, once made up his mind, must be outstanding. It doesn't matter if the platform is lower, it's not a big deal to suffer more ......
"Ugh." Xu Fang sighed, I hope this matter will not even involve his family.
Xu Fang opened the Horror Novel Web again and entered the author's background page. The latest chapter was still under review, but it was almost over. He looked at his personal information again and found that he had gained a few more points, and now he had 87 points.
Now Xu Fang could gain hundreds of points every day. Since "Intimidation System" hit the shelves, the book review section had been very enthusiastic, with a comment every few minutes. This book has a vague trend of fire.
Xu Fang roughly went through the comment section, and there were still a lot of positive comments. In particular, some readers suddenly found that Xu Fang's update speed had become faster, and it was back to the situation that one change was a big chapter of 10,000 words, they hurriedly left comments, "The author pays attention to his health", "Don't be too tired", " The book is very good! The first time I saw such a temperate author!"
"......"
Looking at these heart-warming comments, the corners of Xu Fang's mouth couldn't help but smile. For Xu Fang, the Horror Novel Web has now changed, it has turned into something unknown and scary. Only the anonymous readers in the comment section make him feel a touch of warmth ......
The time went to 12:30 pm and the bus arrived at Dongda Town.
Xu Fang carried his backpack and got off the bus. He held up his cap and surveyed the surrounding scenery.
This place is not very urbanized, not even as good as the small county where Xu Fang lives. There are only a few concrete paved roads, and they only exist on the main roads here. On both sides of the road, there are a few "high-rise" buildings with three or four floors sparsely distributed. In addition to these few high-rise, the rest are mostly bungalows, occasionally there will be a second floor.
This place is not at all close to prosperity, but it is not barren either.
Seeing this, Xu Fang suddenly had a sense of double vision, and it was accompanied by an indescribable uneasiness. He couldn't help but frown.
Strange, I have never been here, what is this feeling?
Forget it, Xu Fang shook his head and stopped thinking about these unwarranted things. Now that his life had entered the countdown, it was not safe to stay anywhere. Maybe this uneasiness comes from his subconscious concern for his own safety.
......
Xu Fang found a hostel at random and rented it.
Unlike big cities, prices here are not high. The hotel is cheap and does not require an ID card. The interior is not upscale, but it is clean and tidy enough. Unfortunately, there is no computer here.
After entering the room, Xu Fang locked the door, closed the curtains, laid down on the bed and took a nap. When he woke up, it was already 6pm.
Xu Fang went downstairs to the restaurant next to the hotel and had something to eat. During the meal, Xu Fang opened the webpage again and searched for news about K City.
Sure enough, K-City Transportation University was on the top of the news report.
A student of K University of Communications committed suicide.
A student of K University jumped to his death in the middle of the night, his roommate mysteriously disappeared, and his body was found in the morning!
Shock! Female student jumps from male dormitory, K University school is severely condemned.
......
"What's coming is still coming."
Xu Fang sighed and looked at it carefully.
The news content is a female student, Xiaoming (a pseudonym) jumped to her death in the middle of the night from the third apartment 607 dormitory. She was found at eight o'clock in the morning. The police have contacted Xiao Fang's family, but still no trace of him. At present, Xiao Fang has been listed as a suspect.
Strangely enough, people who know Xiaoming say that Xiaoming is a boy. Xiaoming's roommate, however, said that Xiaoming is a boy turned girl. The police have already intervened in this matter and are conducting a more detailed investigation.
The news should say it all, and indeed these reporters are professionals, they reported the student suicide, but also found a more sensitive place
-- boys dormitory, and the jump was a girl. 607 of a student suddenly disappeared.
It was enough to brainstorm a plot.
Xu Fang closed the webpage, finished his meal and went back to his hostel room.
When he thought that the police were looking for him through various channels such as video, address book and interpersonal network, Xu Fang's scalp tingled. He would be found by the police sooner or later, although his escape plan was cautious and careful enough. But he was still worried about accidentally revealing something that would cause him to be caught early.
These three days Xu Fang planned to stay here, he had to write his novel and could not be disturbed. If the police come, I'm afraid his time of death will come. But the good thing is that Xu Fang hasn't received 100 million yuan yet, so he is safe for now.
After thinking for a while, Xu Fang took out his phone and started to write. The sooner he wrote the "enhancement card", the sooner he would be out of danger.
This writing, seven or eight hours have passed. Finally, Xu Fang wrote another 10,000 words and posted it. At most another 10,000 words, the protagonist will be able to complete the task and get the "enhancement card", and then the card will appear in the points store.
Xu Fang did not want to stop for a moment, and after taking a break, he wrote another 8,000 words. Finally, he finished writing the content of the "enhancement card".
After spending more than ten hours and nearly 20,000 words, Xu Fang finally couldn't hold on and fell asleep again.
After waking up, the first thing Xu Fang did was to look at the time.
"It was already noon. Xu Fang hurriedly logged on to horror Novel Web and was relieved to see the latest chapter review result. The review was successful.
Xu Fang sent the last 8,000 words up again, as long as this chapter was successfully reviewed, he was completely safe.
Xu Fang relaxed a lot and opened his phone to read the news for a while.
It seemed that the police had intentionally blocked the news, so it did not appear in the news headlines for a long time. The headlines were instead occupied by another accident.
It said that a highway bridge had collapsed, so that many people were killed or injured. The accident happened right next to KU.
After reading it, Xu Fang shook his head helplessly and said, "KU is really disaster-prone lately, the president must be busy."
Xu Fang put down his phone and was about to go out for dinner. Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of something shiny next to the bedside table.
What is it?
Xu Fang pulled open the drawer with some curiosity, and when he saw inside. He could not help but draw a cold breath.
It was covered with large and small stones, sapphires in all colors, hundreds of them at a rough count. They were all one shape, exquisitely polished princess square showing the beauty of symmetry. The whole body is blue, shining in the light of the beautiful dazzling blue color, clear and not lose the depth. Shinning people's eyes.
They are lying quietly in the drawer, as if they are waiting for Xu Fang to take them away.
Xu Fang stared blankly for a while, he would not think that these were ordinary stones. I'm afraid they are diamonds, worth a lot of money, look at its color some like brilliant blue diamonds ......
blue diamonds ...... for no reason, Xu Fang's pupils suddenly shrink. He remembered why this town had a strong sense of resemblance, because he had seen it on the news. XG Sotheby's auction along with the largest jewelry center next to it had a serious robbery and theft case, along with all the sapphires on display at the auction were all robbed. The total value of the missing gems was fifteen million dollars, worth about RMB 100 million.
The police eventually caught part of the group of perpetrators in a remote town, but the one hundred and sixty-two gems they had stolen were nowhere to be found.
The location where the perpetrators were caught was this very Dongda Town. He had seen photos of this place on the Internet. Thinking about this, in an instant, Xu Fang's sweat hair stood up and a strong sense of crisis flashed through his mind!
The more Xu Fang thought about it, the more scared he was. What kind of coincidence was it that brought him back here and coincidentally led him to discover these gems? A conspiracy? Or was it an accident? Is this the $100 million arranged for him by Intimidation Novel?
This place should not stay long.
