Chapter 22 The Miner’s Diary
In response to Chang Wenxu’s question, Liu Haoyu released him and then looked at Qin Liu, who was also frowning behind him.
Well, judging by the expression of this little ghost…
It’s probably nothing good.
For the sake of his good brother, Liu Haoyu pulled him over and whispered into his ear.
“My girlfriend is usually unseen, and it’s best if you don’t see her, otherwise, there will be trouble.”
Qin Liu, as a guide, can only be seen by those who are dying or have died, just as Wu Yixuan experienced in the morgue earlier.
Or like Deng Xiaolin, who has strong spiritual sight, but it’s clear that Chang Wenxu’s talent is not good, and naturally, he cannot see Qin Liu with his naked eyes.
But Chang Wenxu suddenly understood something in a daze. He hooked Liu Haoyu’s shoulder and laughed heartily.
“What, so the girlfriend you mentioned is a paper figure? What’s there to be shy about, I like paper figures too!”
“…”
Looking at Chang Wenxu’s cheerful expression, Liu Haoyu was speechless for a moment.
“I really have a girlfriend, I’m not joking.”
“I understand, I understand,” Chang Wenxu patted his chest, “Your girlfriend is actually Deng Xiaolin, right? But she’s your adopted sister, so you don’t want to admit it, right?”
“…”
Liu Haoyu looked at Qin Liu, who was becoming darker and darker behind him, and swallowed with difficulty.
“Good brother, your face is dark, and there’s a death star shining above your head…”
Hearing this, Chang Wenxu also realized that his back was a little cold, as if something was staring at him.
“It’s better if you don’t say it, but now that you mention it, it feels a bit chilly.”
Chang Wenxu released Liu Haoyu’s shoulder and sat on the sofa beside him.
“Is the air conditioner in your house a bit too cold?”
“I didn’t turn on the air conditioner.”
Seeing Qin Liu’s resentment slowly dissipate, Liu Haoyu declared again.
“Also, let me reiterate, Deng Xiaolin is really just my sister, and there is no further relationship between us.”
“Then your girlfriend…” Chang Wenxu wanted to ask more, but after thinking about it carefully, he leaned back against the chair, “That’s right, I won’t ask anymore.”
“Forget it… To be honest, my girlfriend is a ghost…”
Before Liu Haoyu could finish, Chang Wenxu couldn’t hold back, clutching his stomach and laughing non-stop.
“Liu… Brother Liu… You know, we ghost exorcists are professionally trained, and we usually don’t laugh… Hahaha!!”
“…”
Well, it seems like he can’t explain.
Liu Haoyu sighed. He didn’t plan to dwell on this topic too much and just asked calmly.
“So, do you have something to ask me? I remember you already gave the reward online, didn’t you?”
Upon hearing Liu Haoyu mention serious matters, the unserious man immediately put away his playful attitude and said with a very mysterious expression.
“Brother Liu, whatever I’m about to say next, don’t be scared…”
“If you joke around again, I’ll kick you out.”
Seeing Liu Haoyu’s forehead covered in black lines, Chang Wenxu quickly coughed and became serious.
“Brother Liu, you’ve probably heard about the mining accident at Ye Shangfeng before, right?”
“Of course, I know about this.”
Liu Haoyu nodded.
“But according to my recent investigation, this mining accident may not have been an accident at all.”
Upon hearing Chang Wenxu say this, Liu Haoyu’s expression became extremely solemn. He leaned forward, took the notebook in his hand, and asked.
“What do you mean?”
Chang Wenxu sorted out his thoughts.
“After the mining accident, didn’t the rescue team search for the victims?”
“But what happened afterwards is completely inconsistent with the official statement.”
“These are the search and rescue records from that year… You’ll know when you look at them.”
Liu Haoyu took the stack of files from Chang Wenxu’s hand. The cover was covered with thick dust, and it looked like it had been sealed for many years.
Upon opening it, besides photos, there was also a diary. The diary pages were yellowed, and the handwriting was a little blurred, but it was still recognizable as a record from that year.
Liu Haoyu patted the dust off and began to read carefully.
July 15th
This is the first day after the mining accident.
The rescue team entered the mine and were surprised to find that the internal structure of the mine was intact, with no signs of a collapse.
But strangely, all the miners in mining tunnel E12 were missing, leaving no trace behind.
Just the first page completely overturned all of Liu Haoyu’s previous investigations.
“The mine didn’t collapse? How is that possible?”
“In fact, I can’t believe the truth is like this.”
Chang Wenxu nodded, equally shocked.
Turning to the second page.
July 16th.
Our old miners from other mining tunnels and the search and rescue team split into two groups to search the entire mine, but found nothing except the belongings of the missing persons.
July 17th
This is our third time entering the mine. However, when we went deep to the very bottom, the passage inside the mine seemed to have changed. The original markers had all disappeared, and we were trapped inside, only able to wait for the rescue team to arrive…
July 18th
We waited for a day, but we still didn’t wait for the rescue team to enter the mine. Moreover, some of the miners seemed to be hallucinating, claiming to have seen the missing miners.
I was no exception…
But the problem is that the miners had distorted faces and rotting bodies, as if they had been dead for many days. This is definitely not how a living person should look.
July 19th
There seemed to be many blood-red vines growing in the mine, and I seemed to hear an old man speaking in my ear. And it wasn’t just me, it seemed like many people heard his voice…
The diary stopped abruptly here. The remaining items were basically photos taken by the search and rescue team, and the list of victims.
And there’s a very important point.
That is, besides the list of the first batch of victims, this file also recorded the list of the second batch of victims…
As for who the second batch of victims were, it’s likely those miners who went into the mine to search.
Liu Haoyu took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and asked Chang Wenxu.
“Where did you get this diary?”
Chang Wenxu was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice.
“I got it from an old miner.”
“He was a survivor of the mining accident that year and was also among the second batch of miners who went in for rescue.”
“But his mind seemed a little abnormal, and he was completely incapable of communication. I managed to find this diary in his home after a lot of effort.”
