A year has passed since Gongyu Changyin disappeared, and it is already the summer of 2021.

People have slowly forgotten from the panic and curiosity of last year's thrilling maternal moth incident. The world has returned to its original state.

The sea of people is vast, and the Chensu is lined up, as if Gongyu Changyin has never been to this world.

Only Lin Xiuze's world can still see the shadow of the cause everywhere.

Lin Xiuze resumed his work at the legal aid center, and every day he went home from work and work, and occasionally went to Yuehu Qingshu to visit his parents, and there were no other activities.

One is that he is less and less interested in socializing, and the other is that the people around him who are familiar with him have become inexplicably distant because of the moth's change.

He doesn't pretend to be as enthusiastic as he used to be, which makes him more calm and comfortable, and now he prefers to be alone at home when he's fine. It's also free to watch TV or surf the Internet.

But he never gave up thinking about Gongyu Changyin, not that he was unwilling to give up, but that he really couldn't do it, and for a while he tried to forget all this, as Dr. Shen said, let go of everything and forget everything.

But when the doorbell rings, he will still instinctively eject the idea that Chang Yin is coming back, he will think of the scene he used to be with Chang Yin when he sees a flower, a tree, a table and a chair, and even when he goes to his parents' house to see Gollum, he unconsciously remembers the picture of Chang Yin scaring Gollum.

His parents comforted him, and even Gongyu Jinliang said forget it, he was still young, and everything started again.

Xiuman said, brother, I understand your pain. But who has a smooth journey, sooner or later they won't all have to survive, and they still have to learn to let go.

In the end, he gave up in the struggle to deliberately miss or deliberately forget the long-term cause, and let it be, he said.

Wang Yumian is still investigating the case of Gongyu Changyin, and has come to Lin Xiuze's house several times to find him.

He didn't hand over Gu Zhifeng's manuscript and painting collection to Wang Yumian, and he didn't even expect Wang Yumian to investigate the results, and now he was very calm to Wang Yumian when he mentioned the matter of Gongyuchang's change due to moths.

There was even a very detailed description of everything he saw in the delivery room, when he talked about Gongyu Chang looking at him with complaining eyes full of human head moths, Wang Yumian patted his hands worriedly, Lin Xiuze smiled slightly, did not show any emotional changes, and as soon as Wang Yumian left, he cried like a child, he didn't dare to recall Gongyu Changyin's eyes at that time.

In his heart, Chang Yin has always been a girl who has no heart and a big grin, she is very rough and forgetful, unhappy things will be forgotten for a while, even if she is sad, it will not last long, sometimes she quarrels with Lin Xiuze, the two are cold, Lin Xiuze has not been angry She has already run over like a nobody, as if she has completely forgotten what happened before.

And that helpless, sad and desperate look, he saw it for the first time, and it pierced his heart deeply.

The furnishings in the room are still exactly the same as when Chang Yin was there, and even her clothes in the wardrobe are placed as they are, the baby room in the second bedroom, the stickers on the wall, and the calligraphy and paintings painted by Chang Yin during the Chinese New Year last year are all intact, some of them have been turned up, and Lin Xiuze also carefully glued it well.

He always felt that she would come back, and she would definitely come back. When I miss it too much, I will open the photos and videos I took before.

And the video taken after arranging the baby room for Lin Haojue to see in the future after the Chinese New Year last year, he turned it out several times, but he still hasn't had the courage to click on it.

In this year, he occasionally had that dream, that day he and Xiao Ai went to visit a death row prisoner in prison, and when he came back, he and Xiao Ai had dinner outside, drank some wine, and when he came home, he felt extremely tired, and he fell asleep on the bed before he could wash up.

Soon he entered the familiar dream, and he dreamed that two cracks had opened in his back, and two wings grew from the cracks.

He flew over the mountains, over a forest of reckless greenery, and flew against the edge of the cliff to the abyss.

Then he flew to the endless lake of twilight and blood as far as the eye could see, and the tip of his nose almost touched the water on the surface of the lake.

He saw withered faces, or submerged in the water and rotted to the point that their faces were not clear, or they were like freshly withered faces floating on the water, where there were countless withered faces, and on the surface of the lake, in addition to these withered faces, there was also a swimming body in the lake!

They shuttled flexibly through the viscous lake like weak and boneless flesh-colored skins, and in those free-flying human figures, he seemed to see Gongyu Changyin and Gu Zhi also swimming in it, he seemed to be dancing, and it was like tearing,

He shouted loudly, "Chang Yin! Chang Yin! Gong Yu Chang Yin!"

However, his body flew away from the surface of the lake, and came to a long trestle bridge, which began with a forest of masks, passed the lake, and then stretched straight along the surface of the lake to the horizon, as if it were a giant python and as if it were a road to heaven.

He ran along the trestle towards the mask forest, shouting as he ran, long because long because of the long cause of the long cause of the

He stared at him with wide eyes, as if begging him to take them away, and he was not moved by these beautiful faces, and he only wanted to find the cause! He rushed out of the trestle and climbed into the thorny masked forest, letting the spikes poke into his flesh and cut his cheeks, and he knew that the familiar face must be here, and must be waiting for him to discover.

He paused for a moment to look left and right, and the faces of the flowers surrounded him as if they had swelled their tentacles, climbing up his feet, and he shook them off viciously, and continued to search for them among the thorns.

Finally, in the corner of the mask forest, he saw the unique human face flower, the thick and delicate two sword eyebrows, the round apricot eyes like a cat, and the dark brown pupils as clear as a mirror, so clear that he could see his face, he threw himself on his knees, hugged the human face and cried bitterly......

"Don't you miss her very much, you can take it off and take it home so she will never leave you!" a voice swirled in his head.

Without hesitation, he plucked the human face flower......

Before I got up early in the morning, I received a call from Wang Yumian.

"Lin Xiuze, we caught a moth man last night!

He was sleepy-eyed and suddenly a spirit, and the cause was found last night...... Did last night's dream come true?

......

......

In the temporary detention room of the Second Criminal Investigation Brigade in Yucheng, sitting opposite Wang Yumian, Lao Liu and Lin Xiuze was a young man wearing white plain and blue jeans, named Cui Zhidong.

"Where were you from eight to ten o'clock last night?" asked Lao Liu.

“KTV。 Cui Zhidong raised his eyes and met Lao Liu's direct gaze without fear.

"What did you do in KTV?"

"What can you do in KTV, drink, dance, sing, guess boxing, officer, what else can you do in KTV?" the man squinted his eyes with a look of disdain.

"You give me honesty! You will answer whatever Lao Tzu asks you!" Lao Liu slapped the table and scolded sharply.
