After I traveled through the book, I gained a humanoid pendant

Yan Jin is missing, Zhang Min is kidnapped, and Jiao Kaifeng cannot be contacted.

Ni Yangzhou anxiously scratched his hair in the rain, recalling the three short lines of the outline.

[You shouldn't go out when it rains,

Shouldn't have turned his back to the alley.

Otherwise I wouldn't have died that night.]

[Rainy, night], meets the environmental conditions.

[Go out], Yan Jin walked out of the school gate, and was out.

Zhang Min did not go home after school, but went to Pan Dongxue's house with her friends, which also counted as going out.

Jiao Kaifeng was originally waiting in the hotel, but he was sent out to call someone by himself, so he also went out.

Who?

Who is it?

Ni Yangzhou hailed a taxi in the rain, sat in the back seat, soaking wet, and drove all the way to school.

Jinyue Community, the school and the commercial street where Pan Dongxue lived were all within the same area. The photo studio and park where Meng Ting had worked before were located in a farther commercial center, with several villages and large tracts of farmland between them. Meng's home was located in the center of the two.

Ni Yangzhou held his phone in both hands and took out the soaked change from his pocket to pay the bill. The time in the car finally calmed his heartbeat, but his muscles were aching uncontrollably.

There was no one in the school, so Ni Yangzhou climbed over the wall and searched every class and every room.

There is no battlefield, no grove.

The boys were running everywhere at a speed faster than a 3,000-meter run.

The boy's eyes in the darkness lit up. The initial panic had passed, and Ni Yangzhou was now just holding his anger.

Ni Yangzhou ran back to the school gate. The originally bustling street was empty. Only the withered leaves were hit by the rain and fell to the ground, making muffled sounds in the puddles.

Along the way, I didn't meet anyone else looking for companions.

Ni Yangzhou stood there for a while, thinking that he could not keep searching like a headless fly.

The lights in the mobile phone repair shop next door were still on, so the boy went straight in and exchanged his own phone with the owner for a fully-charged second-hand phone, which he could use right away.

Ni Yangzhou inserted the card and waited for a few seconds. Then his phone started shaking wildly as if it was infected with a virus.

He took a breath and picked up the nearest call, and Meng Ting's voice came.

"Where are you?"

Ni Yangzhou saw his wet reflection in the shop glass, and outside the window was the night scene eroded by rain.

"The mobile phone repair shop in front of the school. I'm looking for..."

Ni Yangzhou paused and gave three names.

"Looking for Yan Jin, Zhang Min and Jiao Kaifeng."

Speaking of Jiao Kaifeng, Ni Yangzhou suddenly realized that he had not yet gone to the restaurant he had booked, and quickly got up and went out.

Meng Ting on the other end of the phone heard the noise and asked hurriedly.

"Where are you going?"

Ni Yangzhou couldn't tell the answer either, and said nervously, "A restaurant, a deserted place, an alley. Brother Meng, help me find it!"

"Okay, I'll be there right away. Wait for me, wait for me!" His voice got louder and louder. It was rare for the boy to show such intense emotions. Meng Ting almost begged the boy to stop.

When Ni Yangzhou heard the answer, he hung up the phone, put the phone in his pocket and started running.

The hotel was not far away, and Ni Yangzhou rushed all the way up, only one private room had the light on.

The private room was luxurious and beautiful, decorated with golden artificial flowers everywhere. Ni Yangzhou saw Jiao Kaifeng's brother sitting in the main seat.

The man was sitting alone, still in his dark suit. Under the light, his features looked extremely aggressive, no longer as peaceful as before.

"Brother Jiao!" Ni Yangzhou asked, "Jiao Kaifeng..."

The man lowered his arms that were crossed in front of his chest, "I was waiting for you. Xiao Kai was kidnapped by my enemy."

The man's jaw barely opened as he spoke, and his tone was gloomy, "I've sent someone to look for him, you take a rest first."

Ni Yangzhou was still anxious: "Which direction? Do you have any idea?"

The man said with a cold face, "To the east, Lijia Village, their old nest."

Ni Yangzhou quickly thought about the direction. That area was full of residential houses and several hardware processing factories.

There are no alleys.

With a "bang", the door opened and a young man came in.

"Brother Jiao has a letter!"

The man stood up and walked out quickly. Passing by Ni Yangzhou, he pulled the boy's shoulder and said, "Follow me."

Ni Yangzhou took a half step back and said, "Brother Jiao, you go first. I have something else to do."

The man frowned when he heard this, and said nothing more. Time was running out, and there was no time to waste words. The two tall men drove away in an instant.

Ni Yangzhou hurried downstairs.

Ruled out an option?

Not Jiao Kaifeng?

What if Jiao Kaifeng's brother and his team failed in the rescue and moved to another location? Would the narrow road between the two factories be considered an alley?

Ni Yangzhou's brain was working rapidly, not missing any possibility, but the more he thought about it, the more complicated the clues in his mind became.

I should go find Yan Jin and Zhang Min first.

Yan Jin had a feud with the man in leather jacket, and Zhang Min was harassed by Wan Xinrong.

The man in leather jacket is under the command of Brother Wang with Broken Eyebrow. It doesn't seem like Wan Xinrong has the power to command a few young men to kidnap people.

Ni Yangzhou raised his head slightly, letting the rain pour down on his face. His hair was soaked and lay neatly behind his head.

alley.

Go find the alley entrance.

Ni Yangzhou suddenly remembered the winding alley in the commercial street.

One road can be divided into four or five intersections, and even an ant would get lost if it entered. The surrounding self-built buildings of varying heights block out large areas of light. At night, when it rains, there are no shops open in the commercial street.

The boy's muscles tensed as he ran towards the commercial street.

Past memories were evoked, and Ni Yangzhou tried hard to recall the terrain, rushing into the alleys along the street.

There were many garbage piles at the corners of the alleys. The cans and empty bottles made a rapid melody under the hitting of rain. The wild cat was startled by the passing figure and jumped onto the wall with a "meow".

No.

No.

still none.

The rain is getting heavier.

The boy's eyes were soaked so much that he couldn't open them, but he was still searching anxiously in the rain.

[Beep——] A beep sounds.

Mission progress is here.

[Hello host, I am reporting today's mission progress to you. ]

[Task progress—49.99%.]

[Please continue to work hard, complete the main mission, and get to the end of the story. ]

"Oh shit."

Ni Yangzhou couldn't help but swear.

Still stuck at this broken progress.

The boy picked up a piece of broken billboard from the garbage dump and used it to barely cover his head in the rain so that he would not be unable to see.

Continues his search.

On the other side, Meng Ting rushed into the repair shop in the rain and woke up the sleepy shop owner. The narrow shop was empty. Meng Ting gritted his teeth and rushed back into the rain.

-------------------------------------

In the dark and damp basement, the man in leather jacket held a stool leg in one hand and a basin of cold water in the other.

With a "splash", it splashed on the boy lying there.

Yan Jin opened his eyes in severe pain.
