Chapter 9: Flip Phone
"That …… Ah Lin." At this time, Cao Zhong made a suggestion, "Why don't we call Xin Mingyun here?" Hearing this name, Lin Quying first froze, then asked, "You, you know Xin Mingyun's contact information?" "Well …… actually, he contacted me half a year ago, and I don't know who gave him my cell phone. Then, he said that he is currently writing a horror novel on Singularity.com." "He's still writing horror novels? What's his pen name again?" "Hmm, I'll look through the WeChat records." Cao Zhong took out his cell phone and looked for it, then said, "Well, the pen name is Twilight Cool Night." "Never heard of this name at all." Lin Quying occasionally read books in the Qidian.com Suspense Channel, and then only read books by Deep Sea and Nine Heavenly Smoke, while never seeing this pen name in the various rankings. "Xin Mingyun …… Well," Cao Zhong then continued, "he and I said that if there were any real psychic experiences in life, it would be perfectly fine to consider giving him information." "That's good, there's no shortage of information to provide him now." This person, Xin Mingyun, was one of the classmates who made the deepest impression on Lin Quying during his college days, bar none! Back then, he was super interested in any ghosts, aliens, superpowers, and anomalies, and he was a god all day long. And like a pilgrimage, he also went to many famous haunted houses circulating in the world, and subsequently came back with special photos to show them. In the end, he was also severely criticized by the school's department head for spreading feudal superstitions, and only then did he stop. "Back then, everyone said that this bastard's eight characters were too fluffy, and after going to so many places that were said to be haunted, there was not a single incident!" "Haha …… this, this should show that this world is materialistic …… right?" In the end, both of them unanimously decided to contact Xin Mingyun. That guy had been studying this kind of thing for so long, surely he would have something to offer, right? Cao Zhong quickly took out his cell phone and dialed a number. The number quickly connected. "Hello, Xin Mingyun?" "Cao Zhong, huh? What is it?" "It's like this, didn't you want me to provide you with information on psychic phenomena? Now, there is. I'm inside Ah Lin's house right now." "Lin Quying? That pussy, huh?" Cao Zhong let out a bitter laugh and said, "Hmm? Can you come here?" "Tell me specifically." Listening to the voice, Xin Mingyun was obviously not very interested, "I'm coding and writing right now." Lin Quying grabbed the cell phone and said to Xin Mingyun on the other end of the phone, "Listen, Xin Mingyun ……" In as simple words as possible, he told Xin Mingyun on the other side everything he had observed through the binoculars, as well as what had happened through accidentally entering the building across the street. Then, the voice on the opposite side became agitated, "Really …… really fake ah?" "If I lie to you, I'll be hit by a car when I go out!" "OK, OK …… I'll prepare something and come right away!" After the phone hung up, Lin Quying was at a loss. Prepare some …… things? What is the situation? Could it be that he was still preparing to bring the black ass hoof or the demon-subduing mortar and pestle? Could it be that Xin Mingyun had studied psychic phenomena for so many years and had really gotten his hands on some hard goods? "It seems like contacting Xin Mingyun was the right thing to do." Honestly speaking, Lin Quying still had some drums in his heart, "If this kid really brings in some hard goods, I'll feel much more at ease, or else I might not even dare to live in this neighborhood in the future." "Didn't you just want to do some kind of psychic live broadcast?" "Ahem, this, when Xin Mingyun gets some hard goods, I might actually be able to do a psychic live broadcast too." Lin Quying actually looked down on Xin Mingyun as a weirdo back then, as long as he spoke to him, he couldn't get away from ghosts, monsters and aliens in three or two sentences, and even his mouth could always bring up something like head-scalping, feng shui and the like. "I'll check what books he has written ……" Lin Quying searched for the pen name Twilight Cool Night and only found one book, which was titled "Record of Shocking Gods". But after reading for a while, he said, "Well …… this guy, really a look at this writing can be seen is this goods written, not a few sentences will have to cite the classics a little. Said also have a serious matter like." "Well, yeah. But the click and subscription is very little, after the shelves are said to average subscription is only about 200." "Why don't you tweet me and ask what he's going to do to get ready?" "Uh, ask?" However, after sending a weibo message, there was no response at all. At this moment, Lin Quying remembered the book written by Black Ghost Flame, if according to the setting of that book, all the evil spirits that appeared in the Blood Character Quest, all the means of human beings would not be able to deal with them, no matter if it was a Buddha bead or a cross, it would not be of any use. This matter, he hadn't told Cao Zhong yet because he always felt that it was too bizarre. The apartment described in the Black Ghost Fire novel was also a little too scary. At this moment, none of them dared to look at that telescope anymore. Instead, they were quietly waiting for Xin Mingyun to come over. "Speaking of which, why hasn't …… he replied to WeChat yet?" Lin Quying found himself getting a little impatient. And at this time, Cao Zhong said, "Hmm. That …… Ah Lin ah ……" "What's wrong?" "How about we order a takeout for dinner? We can't eat instant noodles again, right?" Because she was too nervous and uneasy, as a result, Lin Quying didn't realize that she was hungry at all. "It's also true that …… Xin Mingyun might not have eaten either." So, he tapped on the Meituan APP on his phone and said, "So, what's good to order?" "Why don't we just eat whatever we want?" Cao Zhong he didn't care, it's all the same anyway. "Let me see …… there are quite a lot of varieties …… Well …… how about ordering a northeastern dumpling?" "Feel free." "There are several kinds, beef dumplings, mutton dumplings, pork dumplings with scallions ……" Before he said the word "dumplings", he suddenly saw his cell phone above the WeChat reply prompt. He clicked it open and saw that it was from Xin Mingyun: "Of course I will bring some good stuff to open your eyes." "What are all the things?" Lin Quying immediately sent another reply inquiring, "Tell me specifically." "You'll know when we arrive." Seeing that he still had to sell his secrets, it made Lin Quying's heart itch. "Then do you want to eat something? I'll give you an order." "Whatever, I'm not picky." "Well …… that …… then like this, the three of us, let's each order a pork and scallion dumpling. Do you want chili oil?" "That's a must! Have you forgotten my favorite spicy hot food in college?" After placing the order, he started waiting patiently for Xin Mingyun to come over. According to Cao Zhong, Xin Mingyun lived in the same district as him, so it was still quite fast to come over by subway. "This book called 'Record of Astonishing Gods' is written with a bit of 'Ghost Blowing Lamp' and 'Tomb Raider's Notebook' feel to it." Then Lin Quying looked at the book called Record of Frightened Gods. At this moment, Cao Zhong fell a little curious again and walked over to the binoculars, intending to take another look to see if any strange sights would appear. And at this time, the first thing his sight was to observe the window of that woman in red. But there was only the dresser in it, and the woman in red could not be seen. Then, he was going to take a look at that room on the 10th floor. Was that man still covered in the quilt? Then, he was shocked to see that in front of that window, there was a man standing! Half of the window had curtains drawn, and the man only revealed a small half of his body, with three-quarters of his face covered by the curtains. From the part of his body that was exposed, Cao Zhong could tell that the person was wearing a scarf and a tweed shirt. He immediately recalled the experience he had told himself earlier, when Lin Quying had mistakenly entered the building across the street. "Hey, hey, hey, Ah Lin, is this the one you told me about before, the one you met in the opposite big ……" And then, Cao Zhong suddenly saw that the person's right hand was slightly raised, and in his hand, a cell phone was suddenly taken out. However, the weird thing is, Cao Zhong saw it really well, that cell phone was …… "Flip …… flip phone???" In this era of full smartphone coverage, there were still people using flip phones that couldn't touch the screen? This thing can almost go into a museum, right? Afterwards, the hand dialed the number on the keypad of the flip phone, and then put the phone to his ear. And Lin Quying had just walked over to the binoculars and was about to take a look, when he suddenly heard, the cell phone in his hand ringing with an incoming call tone!
