Half an hour later, Ma Long appeared at the funeral shop.
His condition was even worse than yesterday.
He walked with one foot higher than the other, and his legs were shaking a bit. Seeing Xu Yang, his eyes turned red instantly. Tears as big as beans continued to roll down his face. He looked extremely aggrieved.
Xu Yang handed him a tissue and asked, “Ma Long, what the hell is going on?”
To be honest.
Xu Yang was still completely lost.
On the phone earlier, Ma Long had cried and tried to explain for a while, but Xu Yang did not fully understand.
After choking with sobs for a minute or two, Ma Long finally settled down a bit. He began, “1 need to start from the night before yesterday… That night, after I came back from the nightclub, I had a dream.”
He described the dream he had the night before.
Xu Yang quipped, “This is a wet dream, how can you call it a nightmare? Wait a minute…”
Before he finished his sentence, Xu Yang realized something.
He remembered how Ma Long had looked yesterday, “So, you’re saying that your mental state yesterday was all because of a dream you had?”
Looking closely, Xu Yang noticed that Ma Long’s body was covered in Yin energy, and it was rather dense.
If it had been anyone else, Xu Yang would have immediately concluded that they’d encountered some evil… but Ma Long was different. He was born with an Extremely Yin Body, so it was normal for him to have some Yin energy on him.
Ma Long began to recount his experience last night.
Of course.
Some details had to be left out.
Having listened to Ma Long, Xu Yang fell into contemplation and asked, “Everything that’s happened to you, was it in a dream or in reality?”
“I don’t know.”
Ma Long replied honestly, “Everything was just like it happened in a dream. When I woke up, I was in my own bed, but everything that happened last night was still vivid in my mind. It felt too real.”
“Xu Yang!”
“You must save me!”
“Even if it is just a dream… if I dream like this every day, even if I’m made of iron I won’t be able to stand it!”
Rubbing his waist, his face displayed a distressed expression as he said, “I feel like my waist isn’t mine anymore!”
His waist??
Xu Yang’s gaze focused as he asked, “Before you had this dream, did you call anywhere strange… like Heavy-For-Money-For-Son?”
“What Heavy-For-Money-For-Son?”
Ma Long was confused. “Isn’t that a scam? With my 190 IQ, would I fall for such tricks?”
“190 IQ?”
Xu Yang looked Ma Long up and down, visibly not believing him.
Ma Long became anxious. “I mean it! I measured it with a Mini Program on WeChat. I measured it three times, and all three times my IQ was 190!”
Would someone who really has an IQ of 190 actually go check it on a WeChat Mini Program?
Xu Yang did not argue about this point, but instead took out his phone and pulled up the file on the “Heavy-For-Money-For-Son” case that Wang Lin had sent him.
The file indicated that the nine victims had all dialed the same phone number before they died. This was different from what had happened to Ma Long. However, after Ma Long mentioned “waist”, Xu Yang had a hunch that the two incidents were somehow connected!
There was another commonality among the nine victims in the “Heavy-For-Money-For-Son” case.
Their bodies were not visibly damaged or cut, but their kidneys had vanished. The bodies were found in the wilderness, and the specific location was not recorded in the case file.
Xu Yang thought for a moment and made a call to Wang Lin.
“Hello.”
“Master Xu!”
Wang Lin answered quickly. His voice was low. Upon inquiry, Xu Yang learned that he was not in Wu City but had gone to Silver City Police Department for a meeting, apparently there was a major case in Silver City.
Xu Yang: “Is it convenient for you to talk?”
“Very convenient, convenient!”
Wang Lin hurriedly replied, “Master Xu, if you have any questions, feel free to ask.”
“The bodies?”
“All nine bodies were found at Naitou Mountain, they were all discarded on the roadside at the foot of the mountain.”
Xu Yang then asked, “Is there a temple on the mountain?”
Wang Lin: “There is a small temple, but it has been abandoned for many years… Master Xu, have you found any leads?”
Xu Yang: “There are some leads, but I cannot confirm yet… Fine then, you carry on with the meeting, we’ll talk more when you’re back.”
After hanging up the phone.
Xu Yang turned to Ma Long and asked, “Do you know where Naitou Mountain is?”
Ma Long shook his head, confused: “Does a mountain with this name exist near Wu City?”
If I knew, why would I be asking you?
Wu City is located on the Yellow River plain, and there are not many mountains nearby. The only one that is relatively well-known is Niutou Mountain, located to the southwest of Wu City; it is a minor tourist attraction known as the “Little Potala Palace”.
As for other mountains nearby, Xu Yang was completely unaware.
Xu Yang asked around at several of the neighboring shops, but none of the others had ever heard of “Naitou Mountain”. When he returned to the shop, he noticed Ma Long holding his phone, excitedly saying, “Xu Yang, I found it… found it…”
Xu Yang:”.. ”
Observing the app on Ma Long’s phone, Xu Yang sank into deep thought.
Baidu Map, is it really this powerful?
The two of them hopped in the car, following the map’s guidance to exit the city, heading south. After traveling about ten kilometers, they turned into a lane and headed up the mountain.
After driving about a kilometer, the road forked.
“So, Naitou Mountain is located here…”
Ma Long looked outside and said, “There is the Sanlian Driving School over there, that’s where I got my driving license… There aren’t any residents in this area, but there are two cattle farms.”
Xu Yang kept driving along the road, continuing on..
