Chapter 1 Everyone Was on Alert

When Xia Mengying walked towards the mortuary bed without the slightest hesitation, everyone was secretly on guard.

Since Xia Mengying had placed her trust in Liangjie Tang, we had to live up to that trust, even if it meant abandoning the mission to ensure Xia Mengying's safety.

When Xia Mengying handed the phone to Du Fei, the latter shook her head, "Turn around and face away from me. I'll teach you how to operate it."

Xia Mengying turned around, holding the phone up. Du Fei's corpse leaned forward slightly, half-crawling onto Xia Mengying's back. Her right hand went around Xia Mengying's neck and rested on her shoulder, while her left hand slowly reached for the phone.

A layer of cold sweat couldn't help but break out on my forehead. If I were in Xia Mengying's position, I would have to think twice before letting the other person get close. Du Fei's actions were too dangerous. If she suddenly attacked, no matter how fast our swords were, it would be difficult to guarantee that Xia Mengying wouldn't be hurt.

As my hands slowly drew my sabers outward, Ye Yang's sword tip also pointed towards the ground.

I vaguely felt a sword aura quietly gathering above Du Fei's head.

Ye Yang was using the Wu Sect's Sword Intent to suspend a sword in the air. Only this position was the fastest way to rescue Xia Mengying.

While I was nervously watching my opponent, Du Fei said softly, "Do you remember the conditions for joining the group? *Xie Guan Pu* (Cursed Coffin Manuscript), a recommendation, and a place with dead people."

"I am your recommender, and I am also a dead person. Think carefully about whether you really want to join the group?"

Xia Mengying said in a deep voice, "I've thought about it. Take me into the group!"

Du Fei said, "Do you know why this group is not full of two hundred people? Because it is constantly eliminating people."

"Everyone who enters the group wants to leave, but they don't dare to leave, because those who leave will become half-dead people like me, and then find other prey for the group owner."

"After joining the group, the only thing you need to do is figure out how not to come out. Be careful."

Xia Mengying whispered, "What if I have to come out?"

"Then... then..." Du Fei struggled for a few seconds before finally saying with difficulty, "You must be prepared to die."

I saw Du Fei swipe her hand across the phone screen, and then phosphorescent flames burst out of her seven orifices. Her soul was scattered!

"Push her away!" I shouted to Xia Mengying, while at the same time stepping forward, grabbing Du Fei's hair, and forcibly pressing her onto the mortuary bed.

At this moment, faint flames had already emerged from the center of Du Fei's brow. The wedge nailed into Du Fei's brow suddenly caught fire under some external force, directly shattering Du Fei's soul.

At this moment, Xia Mengying was standing there motionless, holding her phone.

After a while, I saw Xia Mengying gently open her mouth and say, "I want to leave the group!"

Before I could speak, Xia Mengying explained, "Du Fei said that whoever leaves the group must be prepared to die. I want to wait for Qiao Gongliang to come to me."

I pondered slightly, "We can try. Before you leave the group, say hello to Qiao Gongliang first."

Xia Mengying directly @ the group owner, "I don't believe your group can't be left. I'm waiting for you to come and kill me!"

Xia Mengying decisively left the group.

I also said in a deep voice, "We'll go to Old Bald Mountain and wait for him there."

Old Bald Mountain was sparsely populated, making it a suitable place to strike. Moreover, daring to step into the other party's trap was also another provocation to Qiao Gongliang.

If Qiao Gongliang couldn't take us down, the people in his group would run away.

So he had to come!

I cupped my fist at the forensic doctor and said, "Thank you for your help, friend. May I ask your name? Liangjie Tang owes you a favor. As long as you ask, Liangjie Tang will definitely do its best to help."

The forensic doctor smiled, "My name is Mo Caiwei. I don't need you to repay my favor. Just accept a business deal from me when your mission is over."

"Good! I'll be waiting for you at Liangjie Tang!" After I cupped my fist again, I led my men out of the autopsy center and headed straight for Old Bald Mountain.

On the way, Xia Mengying said, "When I first joined the group, I glanced at it and saw a few acquaintances. They are all well-known writers or literature enthusiasts in the provincial capital, and they are all good at writing medium-length and long novels."

I waited for Xia Mengying to finish before asking, "Didn't you see those people when you had Du Fei's phone last time?"

"No!" Xia Mengying said, "At that time, the group's nicknames and avatars were different. I think Qiao Gongliang deliberately did it to prevent others from finding out."

I nodded and said, "Continue."

Xia Mengying continued, "Do you remember when we first went to Du Fei, she seemed to have said, 'I don't want to write anymore, I can't write anymore, they are all forcing me to continue writing,' or something like that?"

"It seems so!" I suddenly realized, "Do you mean that as long as you join this group, you must write a story. If you can't continue writing, you will be kicked out of the group?"

"I think that's how it is!" Xia Mengying said, "Du Fei's death cannot be without resentment. She was controlled by others most of the time, but she also provided us with clues in the gaps where the other party couldn't control her."

"It's just that none of us thought about it at the time."
