Pinewood Cemetery.

This is an ordinary cemetery built in the suburbs of the west of the city, after Cui Jianming parked the car, he went to the cemetery management office to buy flowers, and then led the two people waiting outside to walk towards a place.

This row of tombs, all relatively new, maybe newly built, naturally, the price is also relatively expensive, the three of them walked through the rows of tombstones, and came to a tombstone in the corner, this tombstone looks newer than the others.

Perhaps because people often come to visit, the ground in front of the tomb is extremely clean, and the picture on the tombstone is a very beautiful girl, who looks to be about eighteen years old, and the black and white photos do not show the color of her hair and pupils.

She smiled softly at the crowd, as if everything was still stuck on that day...

The tombstone was a little wet because of the rain and snow, Cui Jianming squatted down in front of the tomb, holding an umbrella in one hand and carefully cleaning the tombstone with a clean cloth with the other hand

"Someone has already come. Yan Qi looked at the bouquet of flowers that had been placed in front of the tombstone and said to Cui Jianming.

Cui Jianming nodded, and then stopped talking and continued to clean up the tombstone.

After about ten minutes, he finally stood up satisfied, and then patted the dust on his palm.

Sleet was still falling, and the weather looked very gloomy.

Cui Jianming was stunned in place and didn't speak for a long time.

Yan Qi shook his head when he saw him like this.

"Alas. Every year you do. So he bypassed Cui Jianming and squatted down in front of the tombstone.

Looking at the girl in the photo, he showed a very gentle smile in an extremely rare way.

“... Well, little poem..."Yan Qi suddenly felt that something was not quite right after saying a word, shook his head and continued. "Forget it, I'll call you Violent Sister..."

Hearing this, Cui Jianming suddenly burst out laughing.

Buried under this tombstone is none other than his daughter.

Cui Yushi.

"Little poem... Daddy came to see you... And you, Brother Yan Qi, and Sister Bai Ran... This year... How are you doing over there?"

Bai Ran also squatted down beside Yan Qi, placed those flowers very neatly in front of the tombstone, and then folded his hands and bowed respectfully to the tombstone.

"Yo, who taught you, but Xiaoshi probably won't like you to greet her like this. Yan Qi looked at Bai Ran with a smile, but the other party still ignored him.

Yan Qi is really a little inexplicable... Did you do anything that made her hold such a grudge... But now is not the time to dwell on this.

"It's been three years. Cui Jianming looked at the photo on the tombstone and sighed.

"I'm sorry, I couldn't save you. Bai Ran stretched out his hand and gently stroked the cute face in the photo. "If only I had found out earlier. ”

"Xiaobai, I can't blame you for this, in that case... Yan Qi and you both choose to save more people... There's nothing wrong with that. Cui Jianming patted Bai Ran on the shoulder and stood up.

Then he turned his head and looked to the side, and at the far exit, there seemed to be a person...

“... Yuzhen—" softly spat out these two words from his mouth.

"Is Auntie here?" Yan Qi also followed Cui Jianming's gaze. "It seems that the one who came to see the little poem before us is my aunt. ”

Cui Jianming nodded... After hesitating for a while, it seemed that he wanted to walk over.

But as soon as he moved his body, the figure over there immediately turned around and disappeared from the field of vision of the three of them.

"Alas... She still hasn't forgiven me..."Cui Jianming's expression looked very gloomy, it's been three years... Even now, she still can't face Cui Yushi's mother, that is, her own... ex-wife, Chen Yuzhen.

A pair of hands were placed on his shoulders.

"Auntie can't forgive, maybe it's me..."

Yan Qi also looked at Chen Yuzhen's disappearing figure... In my mind's eye... That day...

"Xiao Yan... Auntie, please... Come back soon... Little poem she really.. It's almost gone..."

On the phone, the woman's voice was filled with despair... Pain, and... Implore...

But the blood was still oozing from his chest... He barely had the strength to speak, and the sudden depletion of his heart made him completely unprepared, and around him, there were three extremely strange creatures.

They float in mid-air, with slender bodies, and seem to be wearing some kind of robe, underneath the robe... It's tentacles one after another.

Have you reached your limit?

In front of her eyes, Bai Ran also held her body and fell to the ground in pain, she sobbed softly...

What's going on... Why would she suddenly...

"Strength... Strength... Keep coming back to.... My body... The law is in... Restrain me—" she said in fits and starts, slowly crawling towards Yan Qi.

I see... It's because I'm going to die... So these links, are they about to break, once the links are broken... That Bai Ran, will he be torn to shreds by the laws of this world... Or something even more terrible is going to happen...

The phone that was dropped next to him was on speakerphone, so the sound kept reaching his ears.

"Please... Come back... Come back! Only you can save Yu Shi!!Xiao Yan!Aren't you the best friends!Auntie, please!"

...... Poetry.. Poetry.

“... "Yan Qi's lips trembled slightly, and he pronounced the name... He rolled over with difficulty and stood up...

“... Help me..."He looked at Bai Ran in pain on the ground... Said lightly...

"Quick... Help me..."

Bai Ran was still twitching from pain, and the monsters around him seemed to have noticed the sudden weakness of the two of them, and then slowly floated towards the two.

“... Well. ”

Bai Ran trembled slightly... Nodding, she stretched out her hand, and suddenly, a black light began to emanate from her hand, and then that light pierced Yan Qi's heart like a sword.

The sudden impact crushed Yan Qi to the ground, and he felt that his heart was being clenched by something, and the pain was indescribable.

So he began to roar.

But the feeling of his heart being pinched did not mean to disappear at all, but had a tendency to intensify, and he rolled on the ground in pain.

The monsters looked at him mockingly, seemingly completely oblivious to how much fear the man and woman had caused them before.

“... Mankind... Humanity is going to die... Giggle..."

"I'm going to die... And then we suck them up... They're strong..."

A strange murmur lingered in Yan Qi's ears... It was accompanied by a woman's heart-rending cry...

"Little poem!!little poem!!don't!!don't, wake up!!"

... Yan Qi opened his eyes suddenly, all the painful pressure was swept away at this moment, and the crack in his chest and heart, where blood was constantly oozing, was also recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.

“... Mankind.. Humanity is alive... Quick, kill him, kill him... This is ours!!" The monsters that came out of nowhere roared and began to pounce on Yan Qi.

I don't know how long it took...

When he stood in front of Bai Ran again, there were no monsters around him at all... Only the corpses of one monster after another remained.

"Hah... Ha... "He gasped for air... Seeing that Bai Ran's situation was similar to his, he had regained consciousness and state, and the painful expression on his face began to ease slightly.

Bai Ran moved her lips weakly towards him.

"Why don't you immediately... Go back..."

Bai Ran's words were full of doubts and incomprehension...

Yan Qi didn't answer immediately, he looked at the phone that had fallen to the ground... It's been hung up...

He picked up his phone and dialed the number... The number he knew all too well...

The phone ringed with a familiar melody, her favorite song...

"Hey, Brother Yan, well, I'm fine, what do you think, how could I die, don't be stupid, come back quickly, my mother's meal is ready, just wait for you and Xiaobai, well, let me tell you, I'm in school today, it's amazing, you know, you definitely don't believe it..."

...

How he wished... I wish I could hear that girl's playful and cute voice... I'd love to hear her... Talking to myself about all the nonsense I usually don't want to hear from her...

The call was connected...

"Hey....", not the sound of imagination... This voice is also familiar to Yan Qi... This is...

"Choi.... Uncle..."

“... Xiao Yan, are you alright? Where are you... Where are you now? Are you hurt?" Cui Jianming, as always, was extremely concerned about himself, but Yan Qi's heart was pinched, why... Why Yushi's phone will be answered by her father... Why is there a faint message on the other side of the phone... The sound of crying.

"I..."

He was just about to ask about Yushi's situation, when there was a noisy sound over there, and suddenly, the voice of "Why are you doing this" came from the phone.

Then, another voice remembered from the phone.

“... You ungrateful bastard!!"

But still... It's not the sound of poetry... It was her mother, Chen Yuzhen.

"Why don't you come to the rescue of Yushi, you know, you know Yushi... Is it your name that lasts all the time!you bastard!ungrateful white-eyed wolf!!" roared heartbreakingly on the other end of the phone.

"You're a monster! You and she are monsters! You're all monsters! It's all because of you, it's all because of you monsters!

Yan Qi has always wanted to ask... Inquire about the situation of the poem, but suddenly. He heard a phrase...

Why, it's not you who died..

Die... Target?

Die..?

Poetry... He's dead...?
