Chapter 70: Showing Her True Colors
The chill spread, and Bai Cha felt a bone-deep cold.
Several police officers were oblivious.
“You said you two spoke today? Could I see the call records?”
Bai Cha nodded, took out her phone, and opened the chat interface.
Then she froze.
There were no chat records from today in the chat interface at all.
It was as if they had been completely deleted.
Or had never existed.
“How is that possible? I really contacted him today. I’ve been stalked recently, and I was very scared… so I contacted him…”
Bai Cha kept refreshing, exiting and re-entering, and even logging in again.
But there were no conversations from today on the chat interface at all.
Nor was there that call record.
Several police officers looked at each other somewhat awkwardly.
The policewoman stepped forward and hugged Bai Cha again, gently patting her back to comfort her.
Bai Cha broke free and said with difficulty, “I really did chat with him… I originally…”
She suddenly seemed to realize something, and her expression became even more terrified.
She stiffly, slowly, almost inch by inch, lowered her head, opened her phone contacts, and with a trembling hand, pressed down hard.
[gbx]: It’s you, isn’t it?
[What the hell are you doing?]
The comment section were shocked.
Because the recipient of Bai Cha’s message was Darling Yuqi.
[Unlikely, unlikely. It’s only the second day. Are you going to show your true colors already?]
But Bai Cha continued to type, one word at a time.
[gbx]: Is it you?
[gbx]: I’ve thought about it carefully, I don’t know you at all.
[What the hell are you saying?]
[Wait a minute, let me sort this out. Were there any unknown secrets revealed in the previous chat history?]
[But didn’t Darling Yuqi say they’d known each other for many years?]
[gbx]: From the beginning, you told me you would stay with me. And then I started encountering strange things.
Bai Cha’s expression was filled with hatred and pain, as well as confusion and helplessness.
[gbx]: After I told you about my dad’s situation, he died.
[gbx]: I cried for a long time when I received his call. You inexplicably told me not to cry. You said you guessed, did you guess or did you see it?
[gbx]: You are indeed staying with me, because you are a ghost!
[gbx]: Who exactly are you?!
One message after another was sent out, and Bai Cha’s eyes were fixed on the screen, waiting for a response.
There were actually many loopholes and illogical parts in what she said.
But Gu Baixue wasn’t someone who was good at this sort of thing in the first place.
She might have finally realized something was wrong based on instinct.
So this questioning was reasonable.
Oh, of course, she was also prepared to take out the Frostfall Mountain from her backpack at any time.
The position of the dodder vine behind her hadn’t changed, but the moisture in the room was getting heavier and heavier.
The police also noticed it.
“Strange, why does it feel so cold…”
One police officer muttered, then glanced at the seemingly frantic Bai Cha and exchanged a look with his colleague.
“Ahem, Ms. Gu…”
Bai Cha completely ignored them, just looking at her phone screen. Logically, Darling Yuqi, someone who should reply instantly, should have replied by now, but at this moment there was no response, only the coldness around her was spreading.
Several police officers were helpless and had to temporarily give up questioning her. They went to investigate the stalking incident Bai Cha had just mentioned.
Bai Cha kept waiting for a reply. Five minutes passed, but the other person still didn’t reply.
There was also no movement behind her.
The coldness seemed to have stayed at that level.
It seemed the stimulation wasn’t enough.
[gbx]: Why aren’t you replying to my messages??
[gbx]: Aren’t you usually replying instantly??
[gbx]: Speak!!
[gbx]: Did you kill my dad?!
[I’ve decided to spend my precious ten points to follow this streamer. She’s so awesome, she’s confronting him head-on!]
[Thanks, I’ve already followed]
[Tsk, if you follow now, what if you waste your points? She’s so reckless, she’ll die]
[I thought so too before, but she’s still alive. And the storyline she’s developing is completely different from others]
[So exciting! Why am I nervous? Why isn’t the other side replying yet?]
Darling Yuqi finally replied.
[Darling Yuqi]: Didn’t you hate him? He’s dead, why are you so sad?
[Holy crap!! He admitted it!]
[So scary! No matter what, he was still her dad]
Bai Cha’s expression was also blank, her head buzzed, and finally, her blood rushed to her head.
Her hands trembled as she typed, gritting her teeth.
[gbx]: It really was you?!
[gbx]: How could you do this!!
[gbx]: I did hate him… but… but…
[gbx]: I just don’t understand. Everyone said he abandoned his wife and daughter. I don’t understand why he didn’t explain, why he didn’t tell me! But… I never wanted him dead!
Bai Cha’s tears started falling, dropping onto the phone screen and returning it to the home page.
She kept wiping the phone screen with her clothes while also raising her sleeve to wipe away her tears.
But her vision kept blurring, making it difficult to type.
The policewoman beside her had to step forward again to hug and comfort her. After she calmed down a bit, she picked up her phone again and sent another message.
[gbx]: He was my dad!!
[gbx]: I hated him, but I also loved him!
[gbx]: Because I loved him, I expected him to fulfill his responsibilities as a father, but he didn’t, so I hated him!!
[gbx]: How could you kill him?! How could you!!
She gasped for breath, unable to alleviate the swollen discomfort in her throat.
She desperately covered her chest and leaned back against the chair.
Her emotions were clearly very unstable, and the police didn’t dare to provoke her, so they could only wait silently on the side.
The room had started to warm up at some point.
[Darling Yuqi]: I’m sorry.
[What a sorry]
[If apologies were useful, could people come back to life?]
Bai Cha’s emotions surged again.
[gbx]: Sorry??
[gbx]: What do you mean, sorry??
[gbx]: Who the hell are you!!
[gbx]: I beg you, if you want to kill me, just kill me directly, okay? Why do you have to hurt the people around me?
[gbx]: Who exactly are you? What exactly do you want?
There was a long silence on the other end again.
This time, no matter how many messages Bai Cha sent, the other person didn’t reply.
If she didn’t know the raincoat man was still behind her, she would have thought he had left.
She finally seemed to see through something and numbly put down her phone.
Seeing this, the police officer finally cleared his throat and continued the previous conversation.
“Ms. Gu, it’s like this. We just communicated with the local police and learned about you being stalked…”
“He killed him,” Bai Cha suddenly interrupted the officer, her expression a strange mixture of crying and laughing, bizarre to the extreme.
“He killed him!! He killed my father!”
The police officer’s expression turned serious.
“According to what we know, the mentally ill patient Chen Yan is now back in his hometown. The person you said killed your father is…”
“He’s not human.” Bai Cha became calm again, her eyes devoid of any emotion other than despair.
“I know you don’t believe me. Even if I tell you, you won’t believe me. It’s useless, completely meaningless.”
As she spoke, she suddenly stood up.
However, due to excessive emotional agitation, coupled with her illness and fragile physical state, her vision went black, and she fell backward.
“Ms. Gu!”
Several police officers exclaimed and rushed forward to catch her. Bai Cha’s consciousness gradually faded.
Just before losing consciousness, she saw something clinging to the ceiling.
A distorted human figure.
It grinned at her, its mouth full of sharp teeth, its smile malicious.
