Chapter 65: Chatting and Pouring Out Feelings
Bai Cha finally left the police station.
The supervisor drove her home and didn’t let her go back to the company. The boss also told her to take three days off.
And it was a mandatory three-day leave, for her to deal with her personal affairs.
The supervisor could only comfort her, telling her not to worry, to adjust her state of mind, and that they would still try to get her live-streaming opportunities after she returned.
After seeing the supervisor off, Bai Cha sat alone in the living room in a daze, then picked up her phone again. She scrolled through her contacts and found “Mom.”
Actually, she had looked at these records before.
The chat history with her mother was already empty.
Bai Cha looked at this, only deliberately acting as if she had been touched by the painful point of her background and was reminiscing.
In reality, she was taking this opportunity to think.
Gu Baixue’s father should be a new character to unlock.
But clearly, the father and daughter had a bad relationship.
So she hadn’t contacted him just now, mainly because she was afraid of causing unnecessary complications.
Although it seemed like she wasn’t very familiar with her father, the fact that his contact was still saved as “Dad” indicated that Gu Baixue herself still had feelings.
It was also very normal; only with love could there be hate. Hating her father so much could only be because of past boundless expectations.
So if the father found out she wasn’t Gu Baixue after they met, it would be terrible.
Furthermore, based on Gu Baixue’s personality, although the current events were very strange and terrifying,
it was likely that Gu Baixue would never lower her head and contact her father unless she was on the verge of death.
What would happen if she was discovered not to be Gu Baixue?
And Bai Cha actually had another thought.
But this thought only flashed through her mind briefly.
More than that, she wanted to see more information about Darling Yuqi.
Pretending to accidentally touch Darling Yuqi’s Moments, she seemed to scroll through them unconsciously.
This wasn’t blank either.
Inside, Darling Yuqi had shared many photos of delicious food, or beautiful and delicate accessories, and dolls.
The accompanying text was also very Instagram-like.
Among them was a picture that Gu Baixue had used as her profile picture.
The Moments were visible for the past month, one post per day, all of these things. Gu Baixue had liked all of them.
But the chat history was only from yesterday morning.
Bai Cha felt that something was wrong here, but it was hard to investigate.
Based on the current information, this Darling Yuqi clearly seemed to have deliberately created such an account to get close to Gu Baixue.
These pictures and things should have been taken from other people, possibly things Gu Baixue often looked at.
She still needed to investigate more of Gu Baixue’s relationships.
Speaking of which, what was that ex-boyfriend’s name?
Bai Cha returned to the chat interface and started sending messages to Darling Yuqi.
[gbx]: I just got back from the police station.
[gbx]: The policewoman at the station told me that a murder case happened last year at the address where the package was mailed from. I’m very concerned about this. But I didn’t tell them at the time because they wouldn’t believe me anyway.
[gbx]: I don’t know who I should tell, but I really think the person following me might not be human.
[gbx]: It’s… a ghost.
[Darling Yuqi]: Really?
[Darling Yuqi]: Why do you think so?
[gbx]: Because this morning, the person who chased me was very strange. When he appeared, everything around seemed to turn dark. My phone call was also cut off at that time, like there was no signal.
After a pause, Bai Cha seemed to belatedly realize something.
[gbx]: But it’s strange, come to think of it, I don’t really remember clearly if there was a signal at the time. If there was no signal, how did I send you the messages?
[gbx]: Anyway, I heard a noise on the rooftop, but when I looked over, there was no one there. And I clearly heard footsteps right behind me, but when I turned around, there was no one.
[gbx]: Actually, I felt like someone was watching me from outside the blanket last night.
[gbx]: And the police told me about my neighbor Chen Yan, saying he saw a raincoat man following me home, and that the neighbor was mentally ill and had often said he could see things since a long time ago.
[gbx]: But I think maybe he’s not mentally ill. Maybe he really can see something?
[Darling Yuqi]: So…
[Darling Yuqi]: Have you met your neighbor? Did you ask him what exactly he saw?
[gbx]: No, I actually wanted to ask, but I’m also very scared.
[Darling Yuqi]: Don’t be afraid, I’m here with you. Otherwise, why don’t you go ask him? But that person is quite scary. Does he have other family members at home?
While feeling the dodder vine’s position right behind her, Bai Cha continued sending messages.
[gbx]: His family doesn’t seem to live with him, but they said they’ll keep an eye on him now, they should be together. I don’t know if he’s back yet.
[gbx]: And what I’m more concerned about is that case, I can’t really say why…
[gbx]: It’s just, haven’t I told you? The police said the phone number on the package was a dead number. But that day, I chatted with that phone number. Bai Cha was taking a bit of a risk when sending this part.
She had absolutely no idea what that phone call was about. But simply playing the role wasn’t going to work; she had to probe.
Seven days, she didn’t know if it meant seven full days or how it was calculated, but the time frame wasn’t too long or too short. To survive, she had to know what story this instance was.
Only then could she discover more survival rules. Otherwise, she would just die inexplicably like the comment section said. Bai Cha typed quickly on the screen.
[gbx]: But it’s strange, I don’t really remember what we talked about at the time. I didn’t even remember having that call record at first.
[gbx]: If that phone number was really a dead number, how did I talk to him for half an hour? And I always feel like there’s something wrong with my own memory too.
[gbx]: I can’t explain it, but I just feel like something is off everywhere.
[gbx]: What should I do? Maybe I should go to a temple to pray. Would that be useful?
A look of confusion and pain was on her face. And because she had experienced terrifying events one after another and had cried several times, her current state really looked terrible.
The first day she was sallow and haggard, now she was as pale as gold paper.
Constant crying had dehydrated her, her lips were chapped, and she had a bit of a cold and fever. Her eyes were swollen from crying, like peaches. Her body was also dirty.
[Darling Yuqi]: Maybe you can try, but I heard some temples might be even more unclean.
Bai Cha’s expression showed a moment of collapse, and she quickly typed on her phone keyboard.
[gbx]: Then what should I do? I also want to tell the police, but they don’t believe me at all.
[gbx]: They just told me to move to a different place. Don’t I want to? But I owe so much money, I can’t pay it back!
[Darling Yuqi]: Then why don’t I lend you some?
[gbx]: No need…
Bai Cha covered her face and broke down crying again.
Several cries had made her voice hoarse, and even tears couldn’t flow out much anymore. She just sat there blankly after crying for a while.
