K's arm was broken, and Jasmine could imagine his right hand in a thick plaster bandage, living a boring and boring life at home.

He told her that the weather was gloomy and uncertain these days, like a child, and he would sit in front of the window every day, looking at the scenery outside the window, occasionally picking up novels that he hadn't read for a long time, and precipitating his mood to try to turn a few pages of thick and bookish novels.

Jasmine walked to the room with the letter, and when she passed the living room, she found her father and stepmother sitting on the sofa discussing things, and overheard the mention of Chen Chen.

"Ah Chen's appetite hasn't been very good lately."

"The kid barely eats, and when I ask him what he likes to eat, he doesn't say anything, which is really worrying."

"Well, I used to rarely touch the roast meat I liked, but now I'm so nervous about my studies, I'm really afraid that his body will collapse."

The conversation between her parents made Jasmine wake up with a hint of hindsight, and she noticed that Chen Chen really rarely ate recently, and every time she ate, the food in front of her was almost untouched, and she also said that she had eaten outside, otherwise she was too full.

What a lame excuse.

She was very puzzled, Chen Chen could be said to be almost like a different person, but her father and stepmother still didn't have much doubt, and they only talked about it occasionally, expressing their worries.

It's really weird.

Jasmine just wanted to walk up, but her sharp-eyed father caught a glimpse of her and stopped her.

"Jasmine, your mother just made some desserts, let's send one to Ah Chen."

……

Can she refuse?

The last time I remember it vividly, Jasmine refused to send anything to that perverted guy from the bottom of her heart. She shook her head decisively and refused, and kept running upstairs, leaving a sentence: "I still have a lot of things to write, Dad, you are going." ”

Until the door was closed, Fang breathed a sigh of relief.

Jasmine lay on the bed and took out K's letter and read it carefully, and K told her that she had recently read Arthur Conan Doyle's "The Lost World", an interesting story about an adventure into an unknown continent.

Jasmine has also seen it, and still treasures it, and it contains the world she has never seen before, the wisdom of humanity, and the strength of courage and the spirit of never giving up.

I remember that she shared with K at that time, and she also longed to go on an adventure to go up the Amazon River with a travel bag.

I didn't expect K to be watching it.

Jasmine actually still has something on her mind, but in K's reply, she mentioned the recent incident in passing, and only said it briefly.

"It's been a lot lately, but there's no need to worry about it, the darkest hour is also close to the brightest hour, and people won't reach the light except for the path that leads to the darkness.

My Jasmine has always been a sensitive and intelligent girl, who can tell right from wrong, just follow her heart and don't think too much."

Very subtle words.

Jasmine sat at the head of the bed in a daze, staring blankly at the award on the white wall, lost in thought.

Someone seemed to be whispering, and her ears pricked up, as if she heard the faint sound of conversation coming from the next room.

It's like a rat burrowing in the quiet of the night, its sound small and faint, but it can't be ignored.

Could it be that his father or stepmother sent Chen Chen snacks?

Jasmine was self-denying.

No, it shouldn't be.

For she did not hear the footsteps passing by her door as she went upstairs.

She was irritable, got up and walked back and forth in the room, there was a desire to torment her mind, what was going on next door?

Is it anyone?

Person?

Who will hide in their homes without a sound...... Still talking to Chen Chen?

The strange smell haunted her, giving rise to a shudder.

Her strong desire to explore made her sit still, as if she was in a deep and mysterious cave, and she wanted to explore it, but she did not have the courage.

Jasmine lay on the bed staring at the ceiling and thought wildly, all sorts of strange thoughts came to her mind, but in the end she didn't dare to step out of the room.

Time passed quickly, the dark sky outside the window slowly darkened, and there was no light in the house, which was dim and depressing.

The little alarm clock on the desk walked minute by minute, but no one noticed that the time passed quietly, and the conversation next door died down when the stepmother called for food.

"Jasmine, Ah Chen, come down for dinner."

The stepmother walked in and out of the dining room downstairs with steaming dishes, and the father folded the newspaper and put it on the couch beside him, and it was a long time before he saw the two children go downstairs one after the other.

Jasmine followed behind Chen Chen, rubbing her sour eyes listlessly, she stared quietly at the young man in front of her, the young man seemed to feel something, stopped in the living room and turned his head to look back.

"What's wrong?"

Jasmine pursed her lips and shook her head.

She felt that Chen Chen was covered with a thick layer of haze, and she wanted to pull out his secret and ask him.

Hey, was there anyone in your room just now......

"Jasmine, eat more."

In the pale dining room, her stepmother tried her best to pick up vegetables, braised pork, steamed hairy crabs, and chicken diced chicken.

"Mom, that's enough." Jasmine was embarrassed to eat the vegetables, feeling that no matter how much she ate, she couldn't match the speed of her stepmother's food.

The father did not speak.

Calmly and calmly watch the evening news.

"According to reports, an unknown male body was found on the outskirts of the southern part of the city, and local residents said that some fragmented limbs were found at the scene of the crime, and the identity of the body is currently unknown......

Syllable.

A moth swooped down on the incandescent lamp headlessly, slamming the incandescent lamp into a thud.

Jasmine thought the atmosphere was weird, but she couldn't tell anything was wrong.

With insensitive expressions on their faces as their father and stepmother ate the rice in the bowl one bite at a time, the food in front of Chen Chen's eyes was ...... at all Untouched.

He lowered his head, and the bangs on his forehead shrouded his eyes in shadow, making it impossible to detect any expression.

Jasmine pretended to be picking up the rice, but in fact she was secretly paying attention to him.

But I don't seem to see why, because the teenager will soon go out to "exercise".

"Uncle and aunt, I'm full." Chen Chen pulled out his chair and smiled at Jasmine.

"You use it slowly."

"Ah Chen come back early, don't run too late."

Jasmine watched in amazement as Chen Chen opened the door and ran out leisurely in her sneakers, she hurriedly put down her chopsticks, and she didn't know what she was thinking, so she actually ran to the door.

"Mom and Dad, I'm full, and I'm going out to exercise."

"Don't run too late."

Jasmine ran out into the street, and it was already past seven o'clock in the evening, and the rows of street lamps in the dark night were lonely and dim, marking the shadows of the low walls on both sides very long.

She saw Chen Chen walking on the uninhabited path, and that back looked extremely lonely.

He was seen walking quietly in the street, unhurried, and Jasmine followed him, crossing the road and turning the zigzag intersection.

Slowly, he walked to the remote and dark canal, the narrow canal was surrounded by blue barbed wire, and only the noisy sound of the water could be heard.

Jasmine followed behind Chen Chen, keeping it for about ten meters, and when Chen Chen came to this place, her steps were empty.

I don't like this place very much, there are no street lights at night, and the surroundings are pitch black, with broken barbed wire, depressed and strange rivers, as if the scene of a crime.

Chen Chen in front of him suddenly quickened his pace, and in the moment when Jasmine panicked, he suddenly disappeared like this.

What's going on?!

Jasmine looked left and right, her heart beating violently, as if it was about to split into two petals.

It was still dark as if some big monster was about to rush out and devour her, and she ran back in fear.

Run.

But it seems to be lost.

Look, no matter how you go, you can't do without this strange cage.

When Jasmine turned into a dead alley and saw Chen Chen squatting on the ground, she was covered in bone marrow, staring at the qiqi in front of her, and her strength was instantly drained by fear.

The blood was like a puddle of viscous juice, slowly spreading and spreading on the ground.

The smell of blood was in the air.

Chen Chen squatted on the ground, his face and body were covered with fishy and dirty blood, just like the night of her birthday.

Jasmine felt as if she had been pinned to the ground, and fear made her tremble to every bone.

Her face was as pale as window paper, and she watched Chen Chen tear open the corpses of the dead people lying on the ground as if no one else was there, and ate them bite by bite.

No, it's definitely fake.

The blood vessels in her brain felt like they were about to burst open, every part of her body was shaking, and her hands and feet were as cold as ice.

Run.

There's a voice in my head that's talking.

He's eating people.

He will eat you, too.

Jasmine's heart was filled with terror, but she felt sad.

"He said he wouldn't hurt me."

No, it's all fake, listen to me and run.

Jasmine finally chose to escape, and she didn't know what to do in the face of Chen Chen, who had lost her humanity like a beast.

When Jasmine turned around, she suddenly saw Chen Chen, whose face was covered in blood and had a distorted face, standing in front of her as if he would teleport, and his face was distorted and he rushed towards her.

"Ahhh

――

Is it a dream?

That's right, it's a dream.

Jasmine was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat, and her bangs were soaked in cold sweat and stuck to her pale face.

This dream was too realistic, and she didn't relax for a long time, holding the quilt and shivering.

It was a bad feeling to have nightmares in the middle of the night, and she was just about to get up and turn on the light, but the door of her bedroom was gently opened.

Outside the door, the hallway light pours into the room through the crack in the door.

The young man, with his face turned to the light, stood at the other end of the doorway, calling to Jasmine softly.

"Jasmine, are you alright? Is it a nightmare? ”
