"Xiao Zhao!" Wu Dahai shouted loudly, but there was no response in the darkness.
"Wu Manager, should we call the police?" someone suggested.
Wu Dahai's face turned ugly as he walked over to Wang Ziteng with a flashlight to ask for his opinion.
"Wang, what do you think?"
At this point, Wang Ziteng's expression was very strange. His previous anger had disappeared without a trace, replaced by an unprecedented fear, uneasiness, anxiety, and even a hint of excited anticipation.
He seemed to be afraid of something, but also seemed to be looking forward to something.
Fang Xiu noticed Wang Ziteng's expression and felt strange.
He must know something!
"Wang?" Wu Dahai spoke again.
Wang Ziteng instantly snapped out of his thoughts. "What did you just say?"
"Wang, I mean should we call the police? The screams just now were obviously not normal. I'm afraid something happened."
"Oh, yes, yes, let's call the police." Wang Ziteng seemed to remember something and quickly started dialing his phone.
However, after a busy signal, the call still couldn't get through.
At this point, other employees also exclaimed, "The phone can't get through!"
"Mine can't get through either."
"How is this possible? The emergency number should always be accessible, but now it can't get through."
"It seems like there's no signal at all on our phones."
This made everyone even more panicked.
Even an employee who often browsed forums on the paranormal trembled and said, "Could it be that we're seeing something strange!?"
Everyone was talking at once, and the scene became chaotic.
Wang Ziteng's face changed constantly, and the lack of signal on his phone seemed to have confirmed something for him. He shouted fiercely, "Everyone shut up!"
After all, with his identity there, his shout instantly silenced everyone.
The entire room's attention was now focused on him.
Wang Ziteng's face was illuminated by the faint light from his phone, with most of it shrouded in shadow, and coupled with his strange expression, it was somewhat creepy.
He swallowed hard and forced himself to calm down. "Now everyone stay quiet. What I'm about to say is very important! It concerns whether we can survive!"
The three words "survive" seemed to carry an unusual weight, like a heavy hammer hitting everyone's hearts.
Li Feifei, who was beside Wang Ziteng, asked fearfully, "Wang Shao, what are you talking about? Survive? Don't scare us."
"Shut up!" Wang Ziteng roared, frightening Li Feifei's face pale.
The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings.
He took a deep breath and then trembled slightly as he said, "If I'm not mistaken, we may have entered the realm of the strange."
"Wang Wang Shao, what is the realm of the strange?"
"Don't interrupt me! There's not enough time to explain now. Just listen to me and do as I say!"
Wang Ziteng roared again, silencing everyone once more.
"As someone of my status, I naturally come into contact with more things than ordinary people, and you can't imagine the secrets of this world.
Simply put, there are strange things in this world, and the so-called realm of the strange is the domain of the strange. You can think of it as an alternate dimension, where this is the world of the strange, the domain of the strange!
What we need to do now is escape from this damn realm of the strange, or everyone will be killed by the strange!"
This string of words directly shook everyone's scalp.
Strange!?
Everyone thought Wang Ziteng was joking, but after seeing his terrified and ferocious expression, they began to think otherwise.
"Wang Shao, are you joking? Where could there be strange things in this world?"
"You f*cking interrupt me again! Damn it! You useless bunch, if I weren't a spirit controller, I wouldn't need to rely on you to survive, do you think I'm willing to tell you these secrets?
Listen carefully whether you believe it or not, we have definitely entered a strange domain. No phone signal and suppressed light are proof of that. Remember, the only ones who can deal with the strange are spirit controllers, which means people who can control their own spiritual power.
My cousin is a spirit controller, and he told me all of this. For ordinary people who want to survive in the face of the strange, the only way is to observe the pattern of the killings and try to avoid them.
So from now on, everyone listens to me and absolutely cannot act alone, even if you need to go to the bathroom, do it in place!"
Wang Ziteng's words made everyone skeptical because it challenged their worldview for decades. Normal people would always hold onto a shred of hope before they truly encounter the strange.
Perhaps the only one who believed Wang Ziteng's words completely was Fang Xiu, because his wife was a strange.
However, Fang Xiu was wondering, although Wang Ziteng knew about the existence of the strange, he didn't seem to be able to see the strange like he could. If Wang Ziteng could see the strange everywhere, he wouldn't be panicking like he was now.
Although his performance was outstanding as an ordinary person, he was still far from being able to remain calm in the face of the strange. He couldn't survive in the face of strange throughout the world.
However, this was not important. The important thing was spirit controllers!
When Fang Xiu heard that only spirit controllers could deal with the strange, the flames of hatred in his heart began to surge.
Perhaps, spirit controllers could see the strange throughout the world and possess the power to fight against them.
"Wang Shao, what should we do now? Should we run away?" Wu Dahai trembled and asked.
"We can't run away!" Wang Ziteng shouted as if he had been stimulated: "Everyone stay in place and don't move! Running around in the strange domain is no different from seeking death. My cousin told me that we must not run around in the strange domain and must not touch anything, to avoid violating taboos."
"So, what should we do now?" Wu Dahai hesitated.
"Observe! Everyone carefully observe the surroundings and see if you can find any abnormalities. The fact that we haven't been attacked yet means we haven't triggered the killing pattern of the Gui."
Upon receiving Wang Ziteng's instructions, everyone began to observe their surroundings.
Soon, three minutes passed and they didn't find anything.
At the same time, nothing dangerous happened either.
This made the crowd restless and increasingly skeptical of Wang Ziteng's words.
Some even whispered, suggesting that it might be due to changes in the magnetic field or some unknown scientific phenomenon that caused the light to dim, phones to lose signal, and power outage.
As for the two missing colleagues, they might have accidentally been electrocuted when the power was restored.
"Shall we go out and take a look? I need to go to the bathroom."
"Yeah, there's no Gui in this world."
Whispers reached Wang Ziteng's ears, making him even more anxious.
He cursed inwardly but had to calm the people down.
Because he was also an ordinary person, and his cousin who was a spiritual master once said that the best way to know the killing pattern of the Gui was to use human lives to fill it!
This was also the reason why he kept the truth from the crowd before, to let them know the truth and gather them around him so that he could better probe the killing pattern of the Gui and survive.
"Everyone, please be quiet. As I said, don't move around casually. If anyone needs to use the bathroom, do it on the spot."
Before Wang Ziteng could finish speaking, a calm voice interrupted him directly.
"The Gui has appeared."
The calm voice seemed to contain some kind of magic, or the information conveyed in the words was shocking.
The scene fell silent in an instant.
Death? Rebirth?
