Seeing Xiang Huanian recover so quickly, Gu Lingyan's expression showed regret, but more of it was satisfaction.

but.

We still need to give it a little more stimulation.

It would be best to let the little girl's memory of finding the bones here fade away.

To avoid nightmares at night.

After Gu Lingyan glanced at the trash can, he turned around and approached Xiang Huanian step by step.

Xiang Huanian thought that Gu Lingyan would really kiss him, and the only thing in his mind was how to escape from his approach.

"You, you, don't come over here, just stand there, don't, don't move!"

As Gu Lingyan approached step by step, Xiang Huanian spontaneously retreated backwards, away from the trash can.

And Gu Lingyan was like a cat catching a mouse.

Xiang Huanian retreated in panic, but he strolled leisurely, as if taking a stroll after dinner, with elegant steps, step by step, eroding the distance between them as Xiang Huanian's expression became increasingly nervous.

It was not until they both retreated to the side of the black cat's nest and could no longer see the gray-green trash can that Gu Lingyan stopped teasing Xiang Huanian.

"Okay, okay, I won't come over. Watch your step."

Seeing that Xiang Huanian's mind had basically moved away from the trash can and shifted entirely to himself, Gu Lingyan raised his hands at the right time to show that he was harmless.

"Well……"

Seeing Xiang Huanian with puffed cheeks, staring and glaring at him, Gu Lingyan had some unspeakable thoughts in his heart.

[Hmm… What should I do…]

Gu Lingyan lowered his eyes slightly and thought for a second. Then, following Xiang Huanian's previous words, he smiled at Xiang Huanian in a scoundrel-like manner, pretending to be troubled:

"But... what should I do? I can't hold my phone with my hands right now, and I can't call the police. How about you help me get the phone out of my right pocket?"

Xiang Huanian: “…”

I have a reasonable suspicion that you are about to molest me, and I have proof!

However, this situation was not a problem for Xiang Huanian, who was well prepared and carried a small treasure box on his back.

"I remember I put a pair of disposable gloves from takeout in my bag. Let me look for them. You should be able to do it yourself if you put them on. If disposable gloves don't work, I remember I put a pair of medical-grade gloves in the interlayer..."

Gu Lingyan: “…”

They were so well prepared that nothing could go wrong...

Gu Lingyan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and admitted defeat:

"Okay, okay, please help me put on my gloves."

Gu Lingyan stretched out his hands, clenched his fists, folded his fingers into his palms, and asked Xiang Huanian to put on the disposable gloves for him.

"……alright."

Gu Lingyan looked at his fingers that were safely put into disposable gloves, feeling a little amused and helpless, but with the gloves, his cell phone was safe.

"Then I'll go make a phone call."

Gu Lingyan took out his cell phone from his pocket, dialed 110, and walked towards a big tree not far away.

"Hello, hello, I found more than one corpse here, the address is..."

Seeing that Gu Lingyan was avoiding him on the phone and treating him like a child who couldn't listen to these bloody topics that were not suitable for children, Xiang Huanian said: "..."

I'm an adult already... never mind.

Xiang Huanian has a very clear self-awareness of her own courage. Horror elements in novels, movies, and TV shows would make her suspicious whenever she sees a trash can.

In real life, she'd better not join in the fun.

Otherwise, Xiang Huanian was really worried that his imagination was too active and would scare himself and keep him awake at night.

It can only be said that Gu Lingyan's understanding of Xiang Huanian in certain aspects is very thorough.

It would take a while for Gu Lingyan to explain the geographical location and the specific situation. Bored Xiang Huanian teased the black cat for a while, muttering:

"I don't know how old you are... What name should I give you... You look like black coal. Although I want to call you Black Charcoal, it might be copyright infringement... Let me see, um, without Ding Ding, how about calling you Meimei? With my last name, it would be Xiang Meimei, what do you think?"

"……Meow."

"Then it is happily decided. Your name is Xiang Meimei."

"Meow."

Although he didn't know what they were talking about each other, the back-and-forth conversation between Xiang Huanian and Xiang Meimei made Gu Lingyan, who was walking back after finishing the phone call, feel soft-hearted.

"Did you pick a name so quickly?"

"Yes, its name is Xiang Meimei."

"pretty good."

"What do the police say? When will they come up?"

Facing Xiang Huanian's expectant eyes, Gu Lingyan showed a rare look of embarrassment:

"It might rain heavily soon. It's dangerous to go up the mountain, and helicopters can't land here... Although they want to dispatch urgently, they're also afraid of alerting you. There's a high possibility that the murderer lives nearby. When the rain stops, a team of plainclothes officers will come up, pretending to be tourists, and another team will directly land by helicopter..."

Gu Lingyan answered subconsciously in a low voice, causing Xiang Huanian to unconsciously lower his tone when replying.

"That's right. Going up the mountain on a rainy day is too dangerous. The trash can has been here for a long time without being discovered. It shouldn't be a problem in the short term... The murderer..."

Xiang Huanian stopped talking. She didn't dare to continue. Some things, once spoken, seemed to become prophecies. According to the routine of horror movies, the murderer should appear next and start hunting Xiang Huanian and Gu Lingyan...

The quiet woods around seemed to become eerie.

"Let's go back quickly before the rain stops. If it does, the signal might not be very good... Don't think too much, I'm here."

Seeing Xiang Huanian's expression becoming more and more frightened and crooked, Gu Lingyan quickly spoke up, supported Xiang Huanian's shoulders, soothed her emotions, and took her with him, quickly embarking on the return journey to the villa.

The weather changed rapidly, but when Xiang Huanian and Gu Lingyan walked out of the villa, the weather was still sunny.

But now, the sky is gray and gloomy, and the dark clouds are like an invisible but heavy boulder, pressing on the hearts of Xiang Huanian and Gu Lingyan.

It’s like a storm is coming.

"...Well, let's go back."

Xiang Huanian stopped the terrifying storm in his head, hugged the warm Meimei tightly in his arms, and walked up the stairs with a lifeless look, following Gu Lingyan's strength.

Raining, mountain villa, poor signal, delayed rescue... Hmm, what kind of scientific déjà vu is this.

If this continues, there won't be a murder, and then there won't be an elementary school student wearing black-framed glasses, a red bow tie, and being taken on a tour by a detective with a mustache... That shouldn't be possible... right?
