While opening the door, turn the pipe valve on the wall with your left hand, and then turn on the gas light switch.

Toot ~ bang ~ Flames ignite in a lantern-shaped glass lampshade to dispel the darkness inside the house.

"Aunt Zhao, what's wrong?"

Looking at the panicked woman and Xiao Wanhua, whose face was full of tears, Lu Jiu turned his gaze to the corridor while asking.

With the door open, the light in the room barely illuminates a part of the hallway.

Uncle Zhao, who had only seen him in the evening, was standing in the middle of the corridor, his lower body exposed to the light and his upper body still immersed in shadow.

His hands fell to his side, and a bright kitchen knife was clutched in his right hand!

Wanhua saw him get up at night and went to the kitchen to get a kitchen knife...... Lao Yu's family was the same, and he suddenly had hysteria in the middle of the night....... Why didn't your Uncle Zhao move, is it hysteria?"

The frightened woman hid her daughter behind the door, revealing only half of her face, and talked about what she knew, and when she saw her husband suddenly stop moving, she could not help but worry about him.

"Uncle Zhao?"

He shouted tentatively twice, but there was no response, and the middle-aged man stood still like a machine with power off.

Eyes stayed on the kitchen knife in Uncle Zhao's hand, and it was undoubtedly the safest way to close the door at this time.

However, the other party is Uncle Zhao, Xu has inherited part of the original memory, and his gratitude to this family has also had a slight impact on Lu Jiu now, making him subconsciously think in the direction of the former.

"You and Wanhua stay still, I will find a way to unload the knife in Uncle Zhao's hand first. ”

In any case, the kitchen knife was too dangerous, Lu Jiu first explained, and then cautiously approached Uncle Zhao.

The distance between the two sides was only a few steps, and after Lu Jiu took two steps forward, he could already see Uncle Zhao's face clearly, his eyes were closed tightly, and his expression was calm.

Rather than "hysteria", is it sleepwalking?

Lu Jiu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, sleepwalking people are always easier to deal with than hysterical people, staring at the knife in Uncle Zhao's hand, ready to remove this danger first.

Ga ~ Ga ~ At the same time as Lu Jiu stretched out his hand, the crow crow sounded outside the corridor again.

The previous irritability resurfaced again, and before Lu Jiu could force them down, the middle-aged man who was originally still suddenly opened his eyes!

"Be careful......

The woman behind the door saw her husband raise a kitchen knife and slash at the top of Lu Jiu's head, and her face turned pale and screamed, and she stopped abruptly halfway.

When she saw Lu Jiu, who was still bending down and about to grab the knife, it was as if she had eyes on the back of her head, not only did she dodge the slash sideways the moment the blade fell, but she also grabbed her husband's wrist holding the knife at a very fast speed and forcibly pushed him to the ground.

In her panic, the woman did not remember that her husband was a worker in a craftsman's factory, and he had been doing hard work for several years, and it was impossible for an ordinary man to suppress him with strength alone!

In fact, not only the woman, but Lu Jiu was also panicked at this time, not because of the fear of escaping death, but because when Uncle Zhao swung the knife just now, he felt that the other party's movements were extremely slow, and he easily dodged not to mention, he still retained a lot of spare strength while restricting the latter.

If he wants, he can just break this arm!

"Find ...... Do you have a rope at home, I think it's better to restrict Uncle Zhao's movement now. ”

originally wanted to say that he was looking for a rope, but suddenly realized that there was still a bamboo tube in his cabinet that had not been disposed of, so Lu Jiu had to change his words.

"I'll go get it!"

Seeing that her husband was subdued by Lu Jiu, the woman hurriedly trotted through the corridor, and soon took a hemp rope out and tied up the man who was still struggling with Lu Jiu's help.

Carrying the person into the inner room, he specially found a clean dress and gagged it to prevent him from hurting himself, and then Lu Jiu closed the door and returned to the living room.

"I remember that Uncle Zhao has never had hysteria, right?"

Compared with the woman's confusion, Lu Jiu was undoubtedly much calmer, recalling everything that had just happened, and suddenly seemed to think of something, and then asked,

"Auntie, when Uncle Zhao had a mental problem, did you hear the crow cry?"

"I hear you, I wasn't asleep when Daddy woke up at night. ”

didn't wait for Aunt Zhao to speak, Wanhua on the side suddenly spoke.

"Does the crow have anything to do with your Uncle Zhao's hysteria?"

Noticing Lu Jiu's solemn expression, the woman asked with some hesitation.

"If I remember correctly, there was also the sound of crows when Uncle Zhao suddenly raised his knife to cut me in the corridor just now...... In short, the hospital is closed now, even if you want to see a doctor, you have to wait until tomorrow morning, and if you are idle, you will be idle, so I will go upstairs to have a look. ”

Although like Aunt Zhao, she felt that this conjecture was a bit ridiculous, but Lu Jiu did notice the two emotional changes in her house and in the corridor before.

Based on his own special circumstances, Lu Jiu was skeptical about whether this world was an ordinary world.

It may be a coincidence, but he and Uncle Zhao have problems one after another, and if they can't notice the trickiness in it, they can only say that they deserve this crime.

Returning to the corridor, Lu Jiu bent down to pick up the kitchen knife on the ground and walked up the stairs on one side.

This apartment has only three floors, and Lu Jiu's residence is on the top floor, and further up is the roof, from which the crow crow I heard before came from.

Bang!

Halfway through, a faint explosion from the roof made Lu Jiu stop.

It seems to be gunshots, and it's not far away.

The sudden gunfire made Lu Jiu hesitate a little, and waited in place for a while, but there was no more gunshots, and he still planned to go up and have a look.

Pushing open the rooftop door, Lu Jiu first glanced at the direction where the gunshots rang out before, but found nothing, and then stayed in the brightly lit factory area in the distance for a few seconds, the starry sky was covered by the mist rising between them, and the crane arm more than ten meters high was still operating, making a rumbling sound.

Retract your gaze and roam around the rooftop.

Compared to the old buildings in the impression, the roof of this house is not a simple triangle, but a narrow staircase with a higher level.

The reason is very simple, not only do you need to place a living water tank, but also for high-rise residents to dry their clothes or something, and the previous triangular structure is naturally not used.

In order to bypass the bamboo plaque full of pickles in front of him and the stand with a few salted fish hanging on it, Lu Jiu had to step on the tiles and walk around the roof from the side, but he found nothing but the fishy smell of fish oil, and he never heard the crow's cry again.

Maybe it's flown away?

With this in mind, Lu Jiu turned around and went downstairs, but as soon as he returned to the third floor, he heard Uncle Zhao's voice coming from inside the house.

After noticing Lu Jiu's appearance, Aunt Zhao was busy welcoming him in and thanked him repeatedly.

"Uncle Zhao, don't blame yourself first, I'm afraid this hysteria is not because of illness...... Do you think about it, have there been any strange things that have happened lately?"

Lu Jiu looked at the middle-aged man who blamed himself for almost hurting his wife and daughter, and took the initiative to ask.

He always felt that there was something wrong with the crow's crows, but he didn't know how to explain it to the two elders for a while, after all, this kind of fact was incredible, and he could only ask around the corner.

"The matter of the old Yu family!"

As if suddenly realizing something, Uncle Zhao looked up at his wife suddenly,

"Ah Jing, do you remember, Lao Yu also suddenly had hysteria at night, and took a hammer that usually does work......"

Uncle Zhao didn't finish his words, but his pale face was enough for Lu Jiu to guess what happened in the "Old Yu Family".

"Are you saying that the same thing happened in that elder's family like today?"

Capturing the key information revealed by Uncle Zhao's words, Lu Jiu felt more and more that this matter was not simple, and then said,

"Uncle Zhao, now is not the time to hide, it's about the safety of Auntie and Xiao Wanhua, you have to tell me what happened!"

"I, I also heard from a few co-workers, Lao Yu went home two days ago, late that night, somehow got hysteria, took a hammer and smashed it in the house, waking up the residents next to him, and when they came to the door, they found that Lao Yu's daughter-in-law and children were stoned to death by him, and his head was also smashed out of a hole by himself. ”

After repeating the rumors he had heard, Uncle Zhao suddenly raised his head and grabbed Lu Jiu's hand, and said in a muffled voice,

"Why don't you report to the police. ”

For ordinary people, when they encounter this kind of thing, their first reaction is naturally to report to the official.

"Report to the Officer...... Uncle Zhao, in the current situation, is it really useful to report to the official?"

Lu Jiu's first reaction to Uncle Zhao's decision to report to the official was to agree, but he immediately realized a serious problem.

I used to work in a newspaper office, and I also have some understanding of the government's methods of dealing with such incidents.

What happened tonight, on the surface, it seems that Uncle Zhao had hysteria and almost injured his wife and daughter, and they didn't have any evidence to prove that it was the crow's problem.

Forcibly reporting to the official is nothing more than two endings.

Uncle Zhao was temporarily detained by the Inspection Department or simply sent to the medical center in Qingding City for diagnosis and treatment, and both of these situations would lead to an inevitable result.

That is to make Uncle Zhao lose his job.

No factory wants a worker with mental problems who almost hurts his family!

"Uncle, aunt, don't worry, since Uncle Zhao is okay today, it's better to wait until tomorrow, go to the hospital in private first, and treat the disease if there is a disease, if there is something wrong, it's not too late to come back and discuss what to do." ”

After a short thought, Lu Jiu decided to appease the two elders first, and then said,

"I'm back now, and I'm going to go to the newspaper tomorrow, and I'll ask someone about it then. ”

Lu Jiu's idea is very simple, it may be even more difficult for him and Uncle Zhao's family to figure out this matter.

At present, the newspaper official is not a good idea, and has to seek help from other aspects, and the newspaper must be very interested in this kind of news that can cause people to go crazy with "hysteria".

Besides, Lu Jiu was planning to go to the newspaper office to try to recover the missing part of his memory, to understand what he suffered and lost to become the ghost he is now.

On the premise of doing his best, he helped Uncle Zhao's family, which was also worthy of the beef jerky they brought for themselves.

did not stay at Uncle Zhao's house for a long time, and Lu Jiu returned to his residence.

Closing the door, his back against the cold door panel, he kept taking deep breaths, and took off the calm mask that he had barely worn in front of Uncle Zhao's family in order not to show his feet.

The blood in the bamboo tube, the heart that no longer beats, and now the strong ability shown in this moment of life and death.

What happened to me?

Trying to calm himself, his eyes involuntarily glanced at the cabinet where the bamboo tube was hidden before, almost subconsciously, Lu Jiu got up and walked over quickly to take out the bamboo tube again.

As soon as the rich bloody aura appeared, Lu Jiu sensed a sense of urgency, and his body was reminding him to ingest the blood.

I lifted the lid again and couldn't wait to take a sip.

The results are immediate!

Not only did the chaotic spirit quickly calm down, but even the faint feeling of exhaustion in the body after a bout of exercise just now was rapidly subsiding.

This made Lu Jiu immediately realize that the blood he drank now could provide energy to his body more than the beef jerky he had just eaten, and it was also irreplaceable energy!

Holding the bamboo tube and swaying it gently in his ear, only half a mouthful of the remaining blood in it was left, Lu Jiu resisted the desire to drink them all and stuffed the bamboo tube back into the wardrobe.

This is the key item for him to unlock his own secrets, and now he is drinking to the bottom, it is cool, but it turns out that he has cut off the clues, this kind of stupid thing Lu Jiu can't do.

I walked around the bed and into the bathroom, scooped two handfuls of water and threw them on my face, but I didn't like it, so I simply stuffed my head under the faucet and rinsed it thoroughly.

When he raised his head again, the water beads crossed his cheeks and face, converging on his chin and dripping, Lu Jiu looked at the young man in the mirror, pale, thin face, his facial features were quite handsome, his two eyebrows were round from beginning to end, not sharp, and his face belonged to the kind category no matter how he looked at it.

Only those eyes, the black pupils faintly shone with a strange light.

After staring at it for a long time, even Lu Jiu himself felt some inexplicable chills down his spine.

It seems to be spied on by a vicious beast, which makes people's hearts uneasy.
