The City of Terror Chapter 182 - Strange Van (2)

Chapter 182 – Strange Van (2)

The people who were supposed to be in the van seed to have suddenly disappeared into thin air.

“Xin Yi, look after our car. I will go take a look.”

Wei Xiao Bei frowned and felt that this was too strange. Since he encountered it, he wanted to know what happened.

Moreover, he did not feel any danger, but it was still better to be careful.

“Master, please take care,” Zhu Xin Yi worriedly reminded him and then took out the machete from her bag.

In truth, her boldness had increased after entering the Dust World twice.

If this was highway robbery, Zhu Xin Yi was not afraid, but that specific van was truly strange. After grabbing the machete, she cald down.

Wei Xiao Bei circled the van, but did not notice anything. The van door was locked. Unless he did destroyed the door, he would not be able to pull it open.

After finding an open window, he easily pulled himself through the window.

With a loud bang, Wei Xiao Bei entered the van and stood up, while Zhu Xin Yi stood aside, looking at his direction with her hands sweating.

Wei Xiao Bei inspected the luggage, seating, and the other things inside.

He did not find any abnormalities, strange slls, or any signs of struggle. Even the cup on the driver’s side cup holder was still stear hot

At this ti, he regretted not looking at any materials on criminal investigation to gain the skill. If he did, he might have just gotten an answer to this problem with his high reasoning attribute.

Even if that was so, he understood a few things.

This van was a van that travelled around different villages in the county. The ti that it had been there was not long. At the very least, it had not been there since the morning, otherwise the police would have towed it away, forbidding cars from stopping the middle of the road.

The marks in the car also told him that it had stopped for less than two hours.

The most important problem was that the van’s battery had already ran out.

This was the conclusion Wei Xiao Bei obtained when he tried operating the van.

It was hard to imagine that there was no battery already. This was because Wei Xiao Bei had inspected the battery and knew that it was newly changed, making it impossible to run out of juice from old age.

However, there was simply no charge.

It was also impossible for it to run out of charge due to the driver turning on the air conditioner, because the window was open and the temperature today was not hot.

Wei Xiao Bei frowned and patted away the dust on his hands. He returned to the front of the van and hesitated. He opened the door and told Zhu Xin Yi to go back in the car. He started the minivan again and drove past the van, heading towards the country.

Zhu Xin Yi did not ask anything. It was clear that it was a case without any clues.

It was impossible for them to just wait beside the van for a long ti.

They could only wait until the next day to inquire about it.

Silence ruled the inside of the minivan. Wei Xiao Bei drove while thinking about the van’s details, attempting to figure out the problem.

He felt that there was a relationship between the disappearance of the van’s passengers with the Dust World, but he also felt that he was too paranoid to relate every mysterious incident to the Dust World.

Zhu Xin Yi, on the other hand, concentrated on her phone, turning her attention to learning martial arts to free herself from the thoughts of the strange van.

No other problems occured along the way.

When Wei Xiao Bei stopped in front of Bai Ta Elentary’s gates, it was already 9:10 PM.

Uncle Liu opened the gates for them as he recognized Wei Xiao Bei. “Oh, it seems that Xiao Bei has returned. Ya? Is this your girlfriend? Not bad, not bad. Xiao Bei is a very sincere child.” When he saw Zhu Xin Yi, he praised her and then praised Wei Xiao Bei in the end.

Zhu Xin Yi’s face reddened and did not dare speak. She only relaxed when Wei Xiao Bei drove the car forward, leaving Uncle Liu behind.

Wei Xiao Bei’s current attention though, was not on Zhu Xin Yi. He was looking at the familiar campus and felt emotional at his return.

Although he returned once when he retired from the army, he did not stay for too long. Now that he had returned, his mind traveled down mory lane.

His house was located within the elentary school.

His mother, Xiao Hong, was a famous outstanding teacher in the school. As a result, a room was prepared for her when the teacher’s building was constructed. Because his father’s, Wei Xiang Dong’s, company was in a slump, earning money was just good enough. Hoping to buy a house for themselves was only a pipe dream

Living there was simple. When the teacher’s building was being constructed, a worker’s lodge was made inside the building to fit even four robust n.

Just like that, their family lived within the school.

No matter what was said, Wei Xiao Bei had lived there for most of his childhood. Rembering his youth was a normal thing.

After walking around the campus, Wei Xiao Bei stopped his car close to an eight floored building.

“We’re here. Don’t be nervous. My mother is easy to talk to. Just treat it as your master inviting you over to eat.”

Even if the lights were dim, Wei Xiao Bei could clearly see Zhu Xin Yi’s red face and couldn’t help but reassure her.

Zhu Xin Yi forced herself to settle down and shook her head, “No problem. I was just a bit nervous. It was also like this when I went to a teacher’s house.”

Hering this, Wei Xiao Bei could not help smiling. After all his mother was a teacher, so Zhu Xin Yi was correct in a way.

The two of them carried their luggages as well as gifts they had bought in Cui Hu City. Wei Xiao Bei walked in front, followed by Zhu Xin Yi close behind.

While walking up the stairs, Wei Xiao Bei saw that his driving skill increased from interdiate to advanced, making him smile.

He noticed that normal skills like driving seed easy to level up.

Normal people would probably need 3 years before their skills reach advanced, which was also roughly on the level of operating a bus. Wei Xiao Bei was on the better side as he learned it to this point in just 200-300 kiloters.

He would probably be beaten up by driving students who were going to take the driver’s exam soon.

There was no elevator in the building, but luckily, the eighth floor was the highest floor.

Wei Xiao Bei’s ho was on the fifth floor and it was not a bad place.

The school leaders lived on the second or third floors to have a more comfortable ti.

As for the first floor, there were only a few teachers willing to live there due to the humidity. Most people who lived there developed diseases like rheumatoid arthritis and other such diseases.

As a result, the most popular floor was the fourth floor, and the fifth floor was barely good enough. Those on the sixth and seventh floor were retired teachers, and those on the ninth were young teachers.

This arrangent could be seenas both reasonable and unreasonable. It just depended on how you saw the situation.

Standing in front of the old security door, Wei Xiao Bei suppressed his rising emotions and pressed on the door bell.

At this ti, his mother should be preparing the next day’s teaching materials. His father would be watching television while drinking tea. His little brother, Wei Xiao Peng, was currently a third year senior high school student, so he should be preparing for the college exams and would still be at school, not yet returned ho.

Then the one who would open the door would be his little sister, Wei Xiao Yun, a third year junior high school student.

“Who is it? Who is knocking at the door?”

A nice sounding voice ca from the other side of the door.

Wei Xiao Bei smiled at her vigilance. However, this was natural since old security doors did not have peepholes. Thus it was impossible to know who it was without opening it and asking a question.

“It’s !”

Wei Xiao Bei originally planned to tease his little sister but he never imagined that when he spoke, the door would imdiately open and his little sister would jump into his chest.

“Brother, you really returned. I missed you so much.”

The girl spoke with a tearful voice as she rubbed on Wei Xiao Bei’s chest, as if she was letting out the feelings of not eting for a long ti.

Although the two of them were siblings, the power of genetics had hit the both of them.

From small, whenever Wei Xiao Bei would bring Wei Xiao Yun out to play, people would never realize that they were siblings.

Wei Xiao Bei looked ordinary. He had single eyelids, a slightly slanted nose, slightly dark skin, and a circular head. His body was not too big or too small. In short, it would be hard to distinguish him if he was thrown in a sea of people. He had completely inherited his father’s genes and could be said to be a bit handso when he was young.

But Wei Xiao Yun was completely different.

From birth, she looked like a delicate doll. The older she grew the prettier she beca. It was said that during her sixth grade, she had already received love letters from precocious boys. During her first year in junior high, if a male student talked to her, fists would go flying behind the scenes.

However, his little sister was a lively and friendly person. She did not have the concept of ‘n and won should not touch hands when they give or receive things’. Because of this, it was easy to imagine the multitude of misunderstandings that were born.

Luckily, Bai Ta Elentary had an elentary school and a junior high school, so she had studied there. It was thanks to their mother’s strong suppression, that many of these misunderstandings were resolved.

Even so, the amount of n looking at her everyday was not few.

No matter what, she was soone who would always tag along with Wei Xiao Bei ever since she was small. Her relationship with her brothers was the closest, to the point that it would even incite their father’s jealousy from ti to ti.

When Wei Xiao Bei left for the army in the past, she bawled her eyes out. When he retired from the army and returned, she beca so happy that she cried again.

However, he never imagined that she would cry again when he just returned.
