I was still uneasy, so I washed up carefully, changed, and headed out.
Mom was still asking what I wanted for breakfast and whether I wanted to take an egg or some biscuits with me. I turned her down.
I didn't buy breakfast after leaving, either. Still on guard, I waited for the bus, and when I got to work, I looked around carefully before entering the office.
After what had happened yesterday, everyone still had to come to work today.
The place where the body had been found was cordoned off, but there were no police guarding it.
As I walked down the hallway, I heard people in several offices discussing what had happened over the past couple of days.
There were already more rumors online about recent strange happenings and deaths.
When I got to the office, everyone else was there. For a moment, I felt dazed.
The Thin Man waved a hand in front of my face. "What's up, Brother Qi?"
I hesitated, then turned and closed the door before walking over to my seat.
"What happened?" Chen Xiaoqiu asked, taking the initiative.
I didn't answer. I went online and searched first.
I remembered the name of the residential community where Ghost Whisperer lived. I'd even memorized the address.
A quick search turned up a chemical leak that had happened there some time ago, causing multiple deaths and injuries. Someone was suspected of illegally making chemical products in the community, which had led to the incident.
It reminded me of Workers and Peasants Sixth Village, and I felt a little sympathy for the innocent residents of that community.
"Brother Qi?" This time, it was the Fatty who called me.
I looked up at them.
This probably wasn't a hallucination caused by the side effects. Everything happening now
