Weird Apocalypse: Rebirth Starts with Trillions of Ghost Money

It rained heavily.

A mist has appeared in the yard of the nursing home.

Chen Mu and his friend had no umbrella or anything to shelter themselves from the rain, so they let the raindrops hit them.

Soon, the two of them crossed the dark courtyard and arrived at the door of the office building.

Xiao Shi shook off the rain on his body and reached out to press the door handle.

"Boss, the door is locked."

"That's normal. It would be strange if the door wasn't locked." Chen Mu said, "I just observed from the balcony. The second-floor window on the right side of the office building is ajar.

On the lower ground floor, there was a pile of firewood and a broken table.

We can step on the firewood and climb directly in through this window on the second floor."

When Chen Mu was observing on the balcony, he had already taken all possible situations into consideration.

There are emergency plans for everything, including how to enter the office building, how to evacuate, and how to escape in an emergency.

The entire office building has been dissected and carefully studied by Chen Mu.

"Boss, that's awesome!" Xiao Shi couldn't help but exclaim. He was increasingly aware of the gap between himself and Chen Mu.

We were both waiting for action. I was lying in bed to recuperate (sleep), while the eldest brother was already on the balcony, planning everything he needed to observe.

The two men carried a pile of firewood and piled it under the window.

The sound of the rain provided cover for the two people's actions.

After everything was piled up, Xiao Shi took the lead, stepped on the pile of firewood, and reached the second-floor window.

He pushed the window inward, and the wooden window creaked open.

After Xiao Shi entered, he stretched out his hand towards the window and pulled Chen Mu in.

Entering the room on the second floor, Chen Mu saw at a glance an office desk placed in the middle of the second floor.

There is no doubt that that is the dean's office.

The wooden floor creaked when stepped on, and the air was filled with a musty, sour smell.

Chen Mu waved to Xiao Shi, signaling Xiao Shi to come over.

The two came to the desk and began to search in the desk drawers.

Chen Mu hopes to find some useful clues among them.

On the desktop, there are regular files.

Chen Mu took a look and saw that they were all daily expenditure forms, purchase lists, employee salary sheets, etc.

After a quick glance, Chen Mu didn't see anything unusual.

Xiao Shi rummaged through the drawers and cabinets, trying to find some information.

But in the cabinet, there were piles of documents, a scale, and a few books for daily reading.

"Boss, I don't see anything unusual with this guy's stuff?" Xiao Shi couldn't help but say.

"Don't be in a hurry, take your time." Chen Mu said.

They had a whole night to search the two floors of the office building carefully.

But Chen Mu also knew that since the firewood pile had moved under the windowsill, if someone came out in the middle of the night, it would be easy to notice anything unusual.

So theoretically, they are at risk of being exposed at any time.

"You continue to look on the second floor, I'll go to the first floor." Chen Mu said.

Although splitting up is a taboo in horror movies, efficiency is essential at this time.

Before Chen Mu went to the first floor, he threw a long, thin cylinder to Xiao Shi.

"What is this?" Xiao Shi took it.

"Birthday candle! Light it in an emergency and it will keep you safe. I've used one and there's one left. Take it first and give it to me when you get back."

Looking at the birthday candle in his hand, Xiao Shi of course knew that this was one of the few mysterious props in the boss's hand.

Its importance and rarity are self-evident!

He gave himself such an important item because he was worried that if something went wrong with the separate actions, he would not be able to rescue him in time.

The boss... thinks of himself as one of his own!

"Thank you, Boss!"

After the two separated, Chen Mu walked quietly up the creaking stairs to the first floor.

There was no moonlight on the rainy night, so if Chen Mu wanted to see his surroundings clearly, he had to get very close.

Suddenly, a burst of thunder flashed across the sky.

A brief flash of lightning illuminated the first-floor entrance in a terrifying pale light.

In a flash of white light, Chen Mu suddenly saw a round human head on the table to the right of the door!

In the darkness, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Chen Mu was suddenly startled. He looked around vigilantly, trying to find out if there was anyone ambushing in the dark.

He moved forward slowly, slowly approaching the table by the door.

When he arrived at the door, he lowered his head and looked carefully at the head on the table.

Only then did Chen Mu realize that the so-called round human head was actually a porcelain ornament.

However, this porcelain object was about the size of a human head, and with handles on both sides that resembled "human ears", it looked like a human head under the lightning.

Chen Mu breathed a sigh of relief and put the porcelain back in its place.

The first floor is a storage room surrounded by large bookcases that reach from floor to ceiling.

Every bookcase is cluttered with various documents and books.

Trying to search for them one by one is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Chen Mu counted and found that there were 58 cabinets in the lobby on the first floor!

Even if he and Xiao Shi spent a whole day, they might not be able to search everything.

Looking at the situation in front of him, Chen Mu did not search blindly.

He couldn't help but think that the female ghost guided them here either to kill them or to tell them information.

If the murderer is not a female ghost, then the probability of wanting to kill them is very low.

The more likely possibility is that he wants to tell Chen Mu and the others that there is some information in this two-story building that he wants them to know.

So, what kind of information does Guiyi want people to know?

Murder weapon?

This is possible. Maybe the murderer's weapon is hidden in the cabinet.

If this is true, then Chen Mu and the others will have extremely tight schedules.

Because according to the murderer's pattern of killing one person per night, the murderer is likely to act in the early morning tonight.

Before taking action, the murderer must come to get the murder weapon!

If Xiaoshi and I can't leave as soon as possible, we may end up face to face with the murderer in this small building!

When Chen Mu thought of this, he quickly started searching.

The murder weapon wasn't a piece of paper, so there was no need to read the contents. All he had to do was open the cabinet and take a quick look.

When Chen Mu was looking through the cabinets, he found that many of the cabinet door handles were covered with thick dust.

This means that most of the cabinets haven't been opened for a long time, and the contents are most likely unrelated to the strange quest.

Among the 58 cabinets, only the handles of 5 cabinets were clean.

This means that these five cabinets have been opened during this period of time.

However, all five cabinets were filled with thick files.

There were no murder weapons such as knives and axes.

Chen Mu searched everywhere but found nothing.

He couldn't help but frown, "Could it be... I misunderstood what the female ghost meant?"
