Volu 4: High School Arc - “I” Co to Find You~
An overwhelming fear corroded everything.
What should I do!
What should I do!!
I...
‘Ding ding ding~ ding ding ding~ ding ding ding~’
Nothing changed.
That ringing sound continued.
The phone...
Yes, the phone!!
Everything, everything was its fault!!
I suddenly grabbed the phone and held it in front of .
I pressed the answer button without a second thought!!
At the mont of connection, I could hardly imagine that one day, I would curse with such filthy words.
“CNM!!! Who the hell are you! I @#￥#￥%...”
Almost in one breath, I shouted out every curse word I had ever heard since childhood.
However... on the other end of the phone, there was only silence.
Aside from a bit of electronic static, there was nothing.
Finally... I didn’t know how long I had cursed.
My tears had long soaked through the front of my shirt.
I was tired... so tired that my throat had gone hoarse.
But the other end of the phone remained just as quiet... not a sound.
The surroundings were silent... so quiet it was creepy!!
Only then... after venting everything, I finally noticed sothing was wrong.
Why... why did all my shouting and cursing not attract anyone’s attention?
Outside the window, the bright moonlight still shone like silver frost on the ground.
That serene, decapitated head still lay on the floor.
I was completely mute, unable to make a sound.
My body was utterly exhausted.
And yet...
Just as I was about to faint from exhaustion, from the other end of the phone finally... ca that voice I feared so much.
That man’s voice... with a trace of electronic distortion.
“Found... you.”
But what terrified was... the voice was layered!
And the source of the voice was on the floor.
My gaze slowly shifted, and fear filled my entire mind!
When... those wide-open bright eyes, that familiar face appeared before , my breath!
Stopped!!
Lili’s severed head, already dead, actually opened its eyes.
The peaceful and serene expression she once had was gone.
In its place... was a smile I completely couldn’t understand, one I had never seen on her face before!!
She... slowly opened her mouth.
She!
Was actually speaking!!
Watching her slowly moving lips, my nearsighted self—sohow finding courage—leaned in slightly...
Her lips were moving.
It seed... like she was saying sothing!
I looked at her familiar face.
I looked at those lips moving slowly, and I couldn’t help but instinctively read it out loud.
“I... am... right... behin—”
I didn’t dare read the last word.
But... in that instant, a voice whispered the final word right against my ear!
“—d.”
---
“Uwahhhhh!!!”
Suddenly, I whipped my head around, but... there was nothing in front of .
I...
A wave of dizziness made shake my head instinctively.
“Ba... back?”
Surprised, I widened my eyes.
In my mind, two sets of mories began to conflict.
At the sa ti, a familiar sound suddenly ca from the room.
‘Ding ding ding~ ding ding ding~ ding ding ding~’
It’s... it’s that ringing!!
It... is coming!
Instinctively, I wanted to take a step forward to answer it, but... my knees gave out, and I nearly collapsed to the floor.
Sensing sothing was off, I looked at Sha Ha, who was sohow now lying at my feet.
I rembered… just a mont ago, Sha Ha had been walking beside my feet.
She… she was now lying down!
I raised my hand and glanced at my watch.
As expected!
I had actually been standing on this balcony for over thirty minutes without moving!
Ti… there were only ten seconds left until midnight.
However… as ti continued, the mont it reached twelve o’clock, the second hand suddenly jumped back to the fifty mark.
I couldn’t even see how the second hand moved. It vanished abruptly at the twelve o’clock mark and instantly reappeared at fifty.
I looked up at the phone on the nightstand, which was still ringing incessantly.
The fear from just now… hadn’t faded yet, but I gritted my teeth and quickly walked to the bedside, reached out, picked up the phone, and pressed the answer button.
Still… that sa voice.
“I’ll co for you in five days… I’ll co for you in five days… I’ll co for you in five days…”
The phone continued to repeat that emotionless voice, like so kind of electronic synthesis… synthesis?
Right, could this voice actually be synthesized?
I was slightly surprised, but didn’t bother paying further attention to the voice on the phone, tossing it onto the bed.
Let it ring if it wants to.
I had to quickly record everything I just experienced.
I picked up the DV cara and confird it was still recording.
I began recounting everything in my mory, speaking directly to the DV cara.
Including Bai Yao and Lili, the KTV they were at, her brother’s 4S dealership, what happened after she returned ho, Lili’s death scene, the multiple ti reversals that blocked escape attempts.
Finally, I emphasized sothing.
This was not a playback—it was a personal experience!
At this mont, I could be completely certain of one thing.
I was not just replaying a mory—I had actually gone back in ti.
My consciousness was placed inside Bai Yao’s body, inheriting her mories and experiencing all of it with her… or in her place.
Because… in certain situations, my thought patterns clearly belonged to ‘Liu Yunyan’.
Even my ways of thinking were very similar to ‘Liu Yunyan’, but due to the interference of Bai Yao’s mories, all my actions followed what Bai Yao should have done.
And Bai Yao… most likely experienced the sa thing!
Before the mory faded completely, I recorded every last detail into the DV cara.
Not a single detail was left out.
Only when the mory in my mind had completely vanished did I co to my senses, staring at the DV cara in my hand, and the call that had been disconnected at so unknown point.
For a mont, I stood there in a daze.
“What… was I doing?”
I lifted my wrist and glanced at my watch, and my mind instantly beca clear!
Right… my mory had been erased again!
And the chaos from that deletion had left in a dazed state the entire day yesterday.
Today, I had finally recorded everything!
Looking at the DV cara in front of , I felt a sense of relief. Compared to sticky notes, this kind of recorded DV footage clearly preserved more information.
As long as I had this data, I could go find Lu Haochen tomorrow and figure out what had just happened. The clues would beco much clearer.
With that, the situation could take a turn.
And I could finally… figure out just what was going on with the other end of that phone call.
Next, it was ti to see what had actually happened.
With that thought, I flipped the DV cara around in my hand, frowned, and began carefully reviewing the footage.
In the video, my eyes still held a lingering trace of fear, but I calmly recounted…
The mories of a strange, unfamiliar girl.
