Chapter 78: Chat Records
Bai Cha cooked some noodles again.
Because it was the simplest.
And it was relatively friendly to her sensitive stomach.
After eating, Bai Cha picked up her phone, which was dead again. She hadn’t had a chance to charge it.
There was no way; who would remember to charge their phone when they were emotionally distraught?
She plugged in the charger and turned it on.
There were several missed calls on her phone, all from the roommates’ group chat, and they were also tagging her.
[Zhang Lining 6.7]: Holy crap, sis, are you still alive? Why aren’t you answering the phone? You’re not replying to messages either, we were about to call the police.
[Huang Jingyi 1.15]: Calling the police might not work, she’s dealing with ghosts. Maybe we should find a master?
[Zhang Lining 6.7]: There’s no time to find a master! Sis, are you still there?
[Zhang Lining 6.7]: Damn it, I might as well go look for her. I remember her address was in Rong’an Residential Area, right?
[Huang Jingyi 1.15]: Calm down first, it’s still daytime at least.
[Huang Jingyi 1.15]: Besides, Baixue’s father just passed away, she might be dealing with things. The important thing is to deal with that ex-boyfriend.
[Huang Jingyi 1.15]: Siyao?
[Wang Siyao 9.1]: I’m investigating her ex-boyfriend. I’ve asked everyone, but no one knows his name. It’s really freaking weird.
[Wang Siyao 9.1]: But I did find out that her ex-boyfriend should be local to A City and went to the local university. I vaguely remember that too?
[Huang Jingyi 1.15]: If you say so, I think so too. But the problem is, A City is so big, where do we even start looking?
[Huang Jingyi 1.15]: Even finding an address would work, or at least being able to ask around nearby. Damn it, but I really can’t remember what he looks like.
[Wang Siyao 9.1]: Don’t worry, I contacted someone who seems to have been his roommate through a senior, and I’m asking him now.
[Zhang Lining 6.7]: I just called Baixue again, still no answer. I’m really worried, I want to go check on her. But I don’t remember her specific building number.
[Zhang Lining 6.7]: Do you two know?
[Huang Jingyi 1.15]: I don’t know either… I remember going to her place before, but I don’t remember.
[Zhang Lining 6.7]: Argh! This is so annoying! What a stupid ex, still causing trouble even after death! Damn it, if we find his grave, we’ll scatter his ashes!
[Huang Jingyi 1.15]: Good idea, damn him!
[Wang Siyao 9.1]: Guys, I’m back. I asked, and the roommate said he seems to remember that her ex-boyfriend might be in Yemao Road in the East District, but he can’t really remember the specifics.
[Wang Siyao 9.1]: [Picture][Picture][Picture]
Bai Cha clicked on the pictures. The first one was a screenshot of a chat log.
[www]: Hello, I’m Wang Siyao. You’re Gu Baixue’s ex-boyfriend’s roommate, right?
[Lin Wu]: Yes.
[Lin Wu]: You want to ask for her ex-boyfriend’s address, right?
[www]: If possible, please also tell me his name, thank you.
[Lin Wu]: Uh… it’s strange, I don’t know why, but I can’t remember at all. I even specifically looked through our group chat history and the notes I had for him, but there’s no name. But I have an impression that I should have noted his name.
[Lin Wu]: [Picture][Picture]
The pictures Lin Wu sent were the second and third pictures Wang Siyao sent.
They were also screenshots, pictures of two accounts, one QQ and one WeChat.
The profile pictures for both accounts were black, and the account names were the same abbreviation.
Glpw. (a.k.a. Guo Lai Pei Wo)
Bai Cha pondered for a moment. It should mean “come accompany me.”
Hmm…
After these ghosts die one by one, can they still change their account names?
Just like Father Gu could create an account out of thin air to chat with him. Although that account had disappeared, it was clearly a smokescreen.
The screenshot of the chat log wasn’t finished yet.
[Lin Wu]: I don’t know what this abbreviation means. Anyway, this should be his account, I’ve checked several times to confirm.
[Lin Wu]: We haven’t been in contact for several years. He’s the only one in the group who doesn’t show up. We used to be curious about where he went.
[Lin Wu]: So what’s the matter with you looking for him? Why can’t you suddenly remember his name? It’s so strange.
[www]: You’re better off not knowing.
[www]: Then can you click into his account and see if there’s anything in his space? Check both QQ and WeChat.
[Lin Wu]: Okay, wait a moment.
[www]: Okay.
[Lin Wu]: [Picture][Picture][Picture][Picture]
[Lin Wu]: Holy crap, his Moments is full of this stuff for some reason! It’s terrifying!
[www]: !!
[www]: Thank you very much. By the way, please copy the account numbers for me, thank you.
[Lin Wu]: Okay, but it’s really quite eerie… Could it be…
[www]: Shh!
The screenshots ended here.
[Wang Siyao 9.1]: I sent you his account numbers in the group. But I don’t really dare to add him. These photos are too scary.
[Wang Siyao 9.1]: [Picture][Picture][Picture][Picture]
They were indeed scary.
All four pictures were long screenshots.
Inside, starting from December 1, 2019, the account owner would post a ghost picture every month.
And the pictures were all different.
It was hard to examine them closely.
And they were too dark, and they were long screenshots. The other person didn’t click to enlarge and screenshot, so it was hard to see any details inside.
Bai Cha then went back to finish reading the rest of the chat log and then sent a message in the group.
[gbx]: I just woke up. I’ve been too tired these past few days. I was haunted again last night. Nothing serious for now, but it’s hard to say what will happen later.
[Zhang Lining 6.7]: !! Glad you’re still alive!
[Wang Siyao 9.1]: Did you see the screenshots I sent in the group? Should I send them to you privately?
[gbx]: I saw them. Very useful information. I’ll go look at his accounts. Don’t do anything rash. I don’t want to drag you guys into this.
[gbx]: You just need to ask around for information. You don’t need to come find me. I’ll tell you when I’ve resolved things.
[Huang Jingyi 1.15]: What if you can’t resolve it?
[gbx]: …Then maybe I’ll have to trouble you guys to come help me with the funeral arrangements. My dad’s ashes haven’t been buried yet. I might need your help then.
[gbx]: But don’t worry, there’s still money. My dad left me an inheritance…
While typing this line, Bai Cha couldn’t help but look behind her.
No one appeared.
But her expression looked slightly more relieved.
[gbx]: You don’t need to worry too much about me either. I’m not completely without the ability to protect myself.
She didn’t tell her sisters about her father.
Even if she did, her roommates wouldn’t be completely relieved.
This matter wasn’t as simple as it seemed on the surface.
[Huang Jingyi 1.15]: Sigh… I don’t know what to say. In short, you must be careful. Tell us if there’s danger, or maybe we can all go together. There are so many of us, we should be of some use, right?
[Wang Siyao 9.1]: What are you planning to do?
