Metaphysics Live Room: The host is the contract husband

The men in black exchanged glances, and one of them shouted, "Come out! Come out now and we'll let you down the mountain. If you don't obey, we'll have to kill your companions first."

"They're protecting you and won't reveal your whereabouts. What, are you going to abandon them?"

Chen Yan kept her eyes closed, not daring to open them. She didn't know how long she waited, but the footsteps gradually faded away. The two of them opened their eyes and looked at each other, not daring to move.

Ten minutes later, the group walked past them, scanning the area but finding nothing amiss. The man in black cursed, "Damn it, they really know how to hide. We might as well have burned this place down."

"Are you crazy? This mountain is so big, if it really catches fire, none of us will be able to escape. Even if we destroy the evidence, we'll probably still die here."

"Let's go. If all else fails, we'll use drones to search. Aren't there infrared detection drones? Even if someone hides, as long as they're alive and have body temperature, they can still be detected."

"That's right, why didn't you say so earlier? Let's hurry up and get a drone to search."

As the sound faded into the distance, Chen Yan looked at Yang Na: "Nana, do you think they really have that detection drone? I heard there's one that can detect human body temperature."

Yang Na shook her head: "No, if it were really that powerful, those people who went missing in the mountains wouldn't be so hard to find. We could just use drones to search for them."

"Besides, flying drones requires registration. They might not have such powerful drones. Let's not move. Let's wait until 10 o'clock and see. Didn't your student say the police would arrive at 10 o'clock?"

“I can see that too. Believing in yourself is useless. It’s better to believe what your student said. The people of the Xuanmen are indeed powerful.”

Chen Yan sighed and said softly, "It's all my fault. If I had listened to her and not had much contact with Lin Shuwen, none of this trouble would have happened."

Yang Na gently patted her shoulder: "Don't overthink it. Nobody expected this kind of accident to happen. We must get out of here alive. As for that Lin Shuwen, he is a bit strange."

"After you go out, find a master to take a look at you. Be careful not to get entangled with him, okay?"

"How much longer?"

"Twenty minutes until ten o'clock."

"...!!"

The two huddled together and waited until 10 o'clock. Even when the sound of police sirens came, they didn't dare to move until they saw uniformed police officers walk by through the gap.

After glancing at the time, which was indeed past ten o'clock, he dared to call out, "Officer, we're here."

Hearing a sound behind him, the policeman turned around and saw the vines move slightly, then two girls emerged from them, looking at him with red eyes.

Are you the ones who called the police?

"No, our cell phones had no signal, so we asked someone else to call the police for us. By the way, how is our companion?"

"They are two young girls, right? They are quite frightened and are in an ambulance now. They are not in any danger, but on the mountaintop... many people have died."

Chen Yan shuddered at the memory of those screams: "When can we go down the mountain?"

The police officer said in a deep voice, "I will arrange for someone to take you back, but you will need to go to the police station to give a statement. You can only go home after that. Also, keep in touch and don't leave Kyoto unnecessarily."

"One of the murderers escaped; only a few men in black were caught. The one who actually killed them got away."

"...ran away??"

The group returned to the van, and when the ambulance arrived and saw the two people, the four of them looked at each other, ran over and hugged each other, and couldn't help but cry because they had survived the ordeal.

One by one, black body bags were loaded onto another vehicle. Yang Na looked over and asked, "Nurse, how many bodies are there?"

"More than twenty people are dead. Their deaths were so gruesome. I wonder what kind of hatred could drive someone to kill so many people without leaving a single survivor."

The nurse looked at them and said, "You're lucky. Otherwise, I don't want to think about the consequences if you had been caught. Do you know those men in black? Do you know what kind of hatred they have?"

Yang Na shook her head: "I don't know. I only know that Yang Shuwen seems to have been the first to die. That woman was very close to him. I don't know anything else."

After waiting for half an hour, the ambulance drove down the mountain.

After arriving at the police station, I took out my phone to show them the chat history and confessed everything in detail. Messages kept popping up on my phone, all in blood-red text, which looked terrifying.

The police were at a loss as to what to do about this bizarre scene, so they called in the Special Affairs Division to check the phone and see what was going on with the chat window.

How could a dead person keep sending messages? The deceased's phone was completely unresponsive, so why were Lin Shuwen's chat windows constantly popping up on Chen Yan's phone?

A Taoist priest came and fixed the phone, and Chen Yan immediately deleted Lin Shuwen's name, which made her feel a little better.

The four of them checked into a hotel near the police station, planning to return to school after the holiday. They booked two rooms, two people per room for safety.

Chen Yan clung tightly to Yang Na's arm, closed her eyes, and fell into a deep sleep. She couldn't tell anyone about the fear of escaping death. The case was still under investigation, and the details of the "pig butchering scam" involved needed to be kept secret.

She can't tell her family right now, and she's very scared. She can't fall asleep without someone to hold her while she sleeps.

The dream was filled with endless darkness, but the scenery quickly changed, and she returned to the mountaintop forest she had been in before. The sound of her footsteps was heavy.

A tall, thin figure emerged from the woods, staring at her with a gloomy gaze. His voice was low and menacing: "Why didn't you save me? Didn't you say we were destined to be together? Why did you watch me get killed?"

Chen Yan watched in horror as the person approached, then turned and ran in another direction. That pale face belonged to Lin Shuwen, but he had already been killed. No, she must be dreaming.

She tried to get out, shouting for help, but no one responded. Suddenly, a blinding light flashed in front of her, and loud laughter filled the air.

A man's gentle whisper reached her ear: "Baby, why don't you open your eyes and look at me? I'm right in front of you. Would you like to marry me? I'll love and cherish you for the rest of my life."

Chen Yan opened her eyes and looked at Chen Shuwen, who was standing in front of her in a white suit and smiling gently. She was a little surprised and subconsciously looked around.

She then realized that she was in the hotel's grand hall, and her parents, along with Tingting and Nana, were sitting in the audience, looking at them with smiles of blessing.

Lin Shuwen's gentle, seductive voice reached my ears: "Baby, will you marry me? Once we put on this ring, we can be together forever. Just tell me if you're willing or not."

Chen Yan opened her mouth: "Where exactly is this place? How did I get here?"

"Didn't you sleep well last night? We're getting married at a hotel. We've been dating for two years, and it was so hard for you to agree to my proposal. Don't you remember?"
