Lin asked Eden, "How many people are here?"

"Only Su hasn't arrived yet. It's a bit strange. Usually Su comes early..."

Eden looked at the increasingly heavy snow outside the door with some confusion and worry. Their monthly gatherings often encountered rainy and snowy days in the winter. This year's snow was particularly heavy and was threatening to turn into a blizzard. If they didn't come here quickly, it might be dangerous on the road.

"Have you called?" Lin and Mebius walked into the house, and he took off his coat that was covered in snow and water.

"Well...but Sue didn't answer."

"This is a bit troublesome..." Lin's expression was not very good after hearing this. "Let's wait a little longer. If Su hasn't come yet, we'll go out and look for him."

As for calling the police?

This is already a very remote area. It is a villa built on private land purchased by Eden. In addition to the snowstorm, even if the police want to come, it will take a long time to find this place. They can only call the police when they have no other choice.

and……

Lin took out his cell phone and checked the poor signal strength.

Was it caused by the snowstorm?

When they walked into the living room, they found that all their friends were already there.

There are thirteen people in total, including Su who didn't come, a total of fourteen people.

"Brother Lin, Sister Snake, you are here?" Padu, wrapped tightly in a puppet costume, lay on the ground and waved to Lin and Mebius.

Alicia chewed potato chips and waved with a smile: "Hey, isn't this Lin and Mebius? I thought you were so affectionate at home that you didn't want to come out."

The others also greeted them, most of them congratulating the newlyweds, and even someone like Mebius, who had seen a lot of ups and downs, was a little shy and hid behind Lin, with a blush on his cheeks.

"Then only Su is left." Kevin, who was playing PS5 with Qianjie on TV, put down the controller and said in a strange tone.

Lin also noticed that Kevin's tone seemed a little off. He asked Mebius and Alicia to sit together, then sat down in the empty seat next to Kevin and asked, "Kevin, don't you usually come with Su? Why did you arrive first today?"

"Today he said he had an emergency patient who needed surgery, so he would be late and asked me to leave first. I don't know if the surgery will go smoothly." Kevin said casually, "I called him two hours ago and he said he was on his way. Logically, he should be here by now."

Lin's brows furrowed and then relaxed: "Then wait a little longer."

With the arrival of Lin and Mobius, the atmosphere in the room gradually heated up. Eden brought out some side dishes and snacks that had been prepared in advance, and everyone sat together happily talking about what had happened this month. They even made fun of Mobius who was getting married, but Mobius, who had recovered, turned around and ridiculed them, leaving them in a bad mood.

As the clock passed eleven o'clock, Lin became uneasy.

Su, still not here.

"Does anyone of you have a cell phone signal? Give Su a call." Lin looked at the stunned crowd, and with his reminder, they also realized that something might have happened to Su.

So they all took out their mobile phones, but under the increasingly strong wind and snow, the mobile phone signal was as weak as a candle in a storm.

"There's a landline at home." Eden reacted quickly and immediately turned and walked towards the landline phone at the hall door.

After everyone held their breath and waited for forty seconds, Eden turned around with an unpleasant expression that made everyone's heart sink to the bottom.

"Kevin, Qianjie and I will go out and look for her. Eden, call the police. Everyone else stay in the house."

The three oldest men present stood up without hesitation, and Kosmo seemed to want to follow, but was stopped by Qianjie: "Boy, stay here and take good care of Grayxiu, okay?"

"I... okay." Kosmo also realized that a man was needed here, so he could only sit down depressed.

"Put on your coats and non-slip shoes, and let's look around along the road first."

……

Lin and his team searched the dark mountain road with flashlights in the bad weather of rain and snow, but they did not find any trace at all. The overly fierce natural weather covered up all traces of human intervention, and even the wheel marks left when they came had disappeared.

What's worse is that the snowstorm shows no sign of stopping. In this situation, even if we call the police, I'm afraid they won't be able to get here.

I can't go any further. If I continue, I'll probably be blown off the cliff. My fingers are already frozen.

"Damn! What a horrible weather!" Qianjie was so angry that he almost threw the flashlight down.

"Qianjie, keep your voice down." Kevin hurriedly stopped him from shouting in this weather.

"Damn it... If Su accidentally crashed his car and was waiting for us to rescue him, wouldn't that be..."

At this time, Lin squatted down silently, and this action also attracted the attention of Kevin and Qianjie.

"What's this……"

Lin rummaged through the snow and found something.

a cell phone.

"...If I remember correctly, this is Su's phone." Lin looked at the phone in his hand that had been smashed to the ground with cracks on the screen, and looked at the two people behind him with a heavy heart.

Then, look down at the bottomless abyss beneath your feet.

April Fools' Day Special: The annihilation of Yingjie in Snow Mountain Villa 2

Are you kidding...

After entering the door, Qianjie immediately reached for his car keys, but Lin grabbed his arm.

"Are you crazy? If you drive now, you run the risk of skidding and rolling down the road."

"So you want me to wait here?" Qianjie panted and stared at the expressionless Lin fiercely, "What do you think is the probability that something bad will happen to Su?"

"Even if it's true, I won't allow anyone else to get into trouble. Let's wait until the police arrive."

"He might be waiting for us to rescue him! Do you want to freeze him to death? By the time the police come, he will be frozen into an ice sculpture!"

"It's more likely that he fell down. Even if we go to rescue him now, it's too late."

"you--"

Qianjie grabbed Lin by the collar and lifted him up easily with his muscular arms, and his masked face was almost touching his.

"Qianjie!" Kevin intervened between them and stopped the furious Qianjie. "Lin is right. Calm down. If something happens to us again, do we want them to come looking for us again?"

"..."

Perhaps Kevin’s words worked, Qianjie let out a heavy sigh and let go of Lin.

The noise of their argument attracted the attention of the people in the living room. Mebius was the first to rush out. She saw Qianjie and Lin standing so close to each other, and seeing Lin's messy collar, she guessed what was going on. She stood in front of Lin and stared at Qianjie with hostility.

"It's okay." Lin patted Mebius' shoulder and shook his head gently at her.

"Nothing? I think if I came out a little later, you might not be able to say it's okay?" Mobius stared at Lin with a gloomy face.

"What happened? Have you found Su?" Ying also came out. When she saw that it was still the three of them who came back, she asked in confusion.

Kevin shook his head with a sullen look on his face: "No, we found Su's phone on the edge of the cliff..."

"what?!"

Seeing that everyone had come out, Lin shook his head and asked Eden, "Eden, have you called the police?"

"Well, the police are on their way, but they're not sure if they can find this place..."

"Okay, let's go in and talk."

……

"What should we do next? Just wait for the police to come?" The most timid Paddy poked her head out of the puppet shell and asked timidly.

“…I might as well go find it myself.” Qianjie couldn’t sit still at all.

"No, in this weather, you wouldn't know where to start even if you wanted to." Lin was staring at his phone, thinking about something, and suddenly asked, "Kevin, did Su drive here?"

"No, his car was recently sent in for repairs, so he should have come here by car."

"..."

The best you can do by car is reach the foot of the mountain. You need to walk from the foot of the mountain to the mountainside, and there is a high possibility that you will not be able to see the road clearly or be blown off.

However, Lin felt that things were not that simple.

He turned on his phone and saw three missed calls on the spiderweb-like broken lock screen.

Kevin said that he called Su twice, the first call was answered, but the second call was not. Eden also called Su, but the call was not answered. The time period when these two people called should have been when there was still a signal, that is, before 8 o'clock.

Then who made the remaining call?

Because Su set up a fingerprint lock, Lin couldn't open his phone to check who was there.

"Apart from Kevin and Eden, has anyone else called Su?" Lin raised his head and asked everyone present. At this moment, the third missed call was most likely made by the thirteen people present.

As soon as these words were spoken, there was complete silence.

Although Lin didn't know who made the call and what its significance was, he had already realized that Su's death might not be that simple.

"Eden, did anything strange happen before I came?" Lin asked Eden.

"Strange thing? No... Oh, by the way, Grayshue seemed to say that a strange person flashed by the window."

Lin looked at the bewildered Gray Xiu and asked slowly, "Gray Xiu?"

“Hmm…” Grace also realized that the atmosphere was no longer as happy as before. She thought for a moment and said innocently, “When I was painting, I saw someone walking past the window, but everyone was inside the house at the time, so I thought I saw it wrong…”

silhouette...

Lin's eyes swept over everyone.

In this house, besides them, is there something else?

"When did you see it?"

"In the afternoon... around 6 p.m...."

Lin walked to the windowsill. The light transmittance of this window was not very good. It might be to prevent the direct sunlight from causing glare to the people standing inside, so a weak light-transmitting glass design was adopted. This design would cause the original clarity to be greatly reduced, and it would be difficult to see clearly inside and outside.

Lin imagined where Grayshu was at that time, then glanced at the window with his peripheral vision, imagining a blurry figure passing by outside the window.

The others looked at each other in silence. They were not stupid and they all realized that Lin might have discovered something and that Su's matter was not that simple.

When Lin was looking at the window, he found that there seemed to be something stuck under the closed windowsill. He walked forward, pushed open the window, and found a piece of paper underneath.

There are words written on it.

"what is that?"

"Eden, is this yours?" Lin picked up the paper and turned around to ask.

Eden shook his head in denial: "No, I didn't put anything under the window."

After Lin took a quick glance at the words above, his face was so gloomy that it was almost as if water was squeezed out of it. He took the paper to the table and put it on the table.

Then he began to read the words on it.

"God's revelation is that thirteen sinners have fallen into the Ice and Snow Hell, and the gods have descended to cleanse their sins."

"One, the lost are scattered on the road."

"Second, a madman burns himself on the ice."

"Three, an angry man falls from a tall building."

"Fourth, the hidden man suffocates in the cloth."

"Five. The fearful man hangs himself on the blade."

"Six, the jealous people freeze to death in the frost and snow."

"Seven, the pure ones drown in low water."

"Eight. The guardian collapsed in front of the door."

"Nine. A wise man collapses into folly."

"Ten. The innocent are lost in the curtain song."

"Eleven, selfish people give with sincerity."

"Twelve. Selfless people are silent in the face of betrayal."

"Thirteen, the man of truth laughs wildly at the end."

"This is the journey of the Thirteen, and it ends in the land of wind and snow."

After Lin finished reading all the words, everyone had the same expression on their faces.

Fearful and bewildered.

What does it mean?

Lin said nothing. He silently wrote the word "Su" after the sentence "One, the lost people scattered on the road."
