The tattooed man felt that he must have offended someone.

Ever since he came home that day, he saw the toy cat on the bed smeared with ketchup, the red pattern on the wooden wardrobe that looked like an animal's footprints, and the deep scratches on the wooden wardrobe, and the tattooed man began to wonder who he had offended.

There are too many people who are suspicious, after all, those of them who watch the scene will definitely offend people. In particular, the recent clashes between several forces are questionable. However, it is not possible to determine who will do this for a while. After all, those people's methods will be more direct and bloody, and they will not just use ketchup.

People around?

The tattooed man shook his head, he had lived here for several years, and the people around him were all soft, and several hard tempers had been beaten and intimidated by the people he called them, and then those people didn't call him anymore.

However, it is not absolutely impossible.

Who is it?

The tattooed man couldn't figure it out, he poked the toy cat with ketchup with a knife and threw it into the garbage heap, and as for the marks on the wooden wardrobe, after wiping it, he used several layers of newspaper to cover the scratches tightly.

In addition, the tattooed man also changed the lock of his door, and he felt that someone must have obtained the key to his house, or used some means to open the lock.

The next day, the tattooed man went home at the same point, and when he was about to unlock the lock, he was holding a steel rod in his other hand, and he was afraid that there would be someone in the house. It's just that before he could insert the key into the door lockhole, he felt like he was stepping on something.

There was no light outside the door, and at this point in time the other occupants were already asleep, and it was pitch black all around, except for the circle of light of the flashlight in the creaky nest shining on the door lock. Just now he was so focused on the lock that he didn't even notice what was on the ground at the door.

The tattooed man has a bad premonition.

Tossed the key into his pocket and shone it down with a flashlight.

There was a fluffy toy cat doll at the door, smaller than yesterday, the coat color should be white, but there were some red marks on it, especially around the cat's mouth.

The tattooed man's hands trembled, but after helping people watch the scene for so long, it is not necessary to be timid.

So, he opened the door and walked into the house.

The inside of the house was still the same as before he went out, there were no scratches on the wooden wardrobe, and there were no suspicious marks on the ground around.

The tattooed man felt a lot more relaxed, and it seemed that it was still useful to change the door lock.

Actually, Zheng Si also entered the house this time, but after seeing the door lock, he didn't put things in the house, nor did he make some tricks in the house.

Therefore, Zheng Si now brings the cat doll over after it is processed and puts it at the door of the tattooed man's house.

After the tattooed man walked around the house, he became fat again, picked up the toy cat by the door of the aisle and looked at it, sniffed it, and then stuck out his tongue and licked it, tomato smell.

"Whew!" The tattooed man pursed his lips, thinking that someone must be playing a prank.

On the third day, when the tattooed man came home, he first shone the flashlight in his hand on the ground at the door, and there was indeed a toy cat doll that was the same as yesterday, and the body was painted with a lot more red.

With yesterday's experience, the tattooed man was not afraid, and he didn't open the door, and walked over to pick up the toy cat on the ground. However, while holding this toy cat, all the goosebumps on the tattooed man's body suddenly appeared.

Wrong!

This sticky touch......

The tattooed man moved a little stiffly and took the toy cat doll in his hand close and sniffed it.

The smell of blood!!

Suddenly, the tattooed man felt like he was burning his hand, and threw the toy cat out of his hand.

There was still a lingering bloody breath between his noses, which made the tattooed man think of the cruel and bloody scene he saw when he was in the clubhouse.

After taking a few deep breaths, the tattooed man shone the flashlight back into his door lock and took out the key.

There was a long red streak on the door lock, as well as claw marks. It's like the trajectory of a cat scratching down from a door lock, but it's blood-colored.

This time, Zheng Si didn't use ketchup, when he went to the School of Biological Sciences during the day, he saw that some students in the basic laboratory were collecting rabbit blood samples, which were packed in plastic tubes, and the collected blood was filled with heparin sodium solution. Heparin sodium has an anticoagulant effect, and Zheng Si often comes here to visit, so he has heard of some of it.

So, Zheng Si took advantage of the students to leave and "took" the three tubes. It was taken away three times, and Zheng Si could only take one tube away each time, and he had to be careful not to be discovered, there were cameras in the corridor outside the laboratory, so Zheng Sian walked through the window. If you get a few tubes at a time, it will be inconvenient for Zheng Si to act.

When the blood in the plastic tube was smeared on the toy cat, Zheng Si had blood stains on his palm, so he simply wiped some more blood on the tattooed man's door lock. After finishing the meal, Zheng Si went to the sink in the kitchen of the small restaurant to wash the dishes and washed his paws with dish soap, anyway, there were very few dishes to be washed in the kitchen at that time, and there was no one on the other side of the pool.

The fourth day was a similar situation, coupled with the recent warmer weather, some of the cats that had been in the house for a long time and had not been taken away ran out again, and began to bark at night. There are not many cats, and most of them are not from the alley, they just came here to play, and I guess I didn't expect that after a year, there would be basically no cats here.

The tattooed man, who has been sensitive to the word "cat" recently, will pick up things and throw them away when he sees cats running around him when he comes home at night, and he is not safe to sleep at home, and he begins to have nightmares continuously.

When the tattooed man goes out during the day, his eyes are bloodshot.

The residents around the old building area have also recently found that something is wrong with the tattooed man, this person used to walk sideways with his nostrils facing the sky, but recently he is always a little inexplicable when he looks at people, as if he is suspicious of something, the god is chattering, if you ask, the tattooed man will also yell back with an unkind face, as if he will come up and beat people in the next moment.

So, recently, when the people in the alleys of the old building saw the tattooed man, they went directly to the distance and never met him face to face, this person must have a nervous problem, and he may not do anything.

On the fifth day, Zheng Si didn't bring a toy cat, only a small bag with several layers.

This time, Zheng Si did not hold the small bag, but put a wide rubber band around his neck, and the small bag was tied to the rubber band.

Although the ribs are not very comfortable, Zheng Si really doesn't want to hold this thing in his mouth, Zheng Si is also frightened by this thing, even if it is wrapped in a bag, but he always feels uncomfortable, so it's better not to touch his mouth. Zheng Si's hands-on ability is not strong, so he can only think of this simple way to carry.

The bag contained a few small mushroom-like things. Zheng Si got these things from Old Man Lan's small flower garden, and the shed where this thing is planted is strictly controlled by temperature and humidity, so the door of the shed is usually closed very tightly, but Zheng Si often goes over, and he also knows that there will be one day a week when Old Man Lan samples the soil in the shed to test the pH and changes in the proportion of soil elements, and the door of the shed will be closed after all the trellis are sampled.

And Zheng Si went in when Old Man Lan went to other flower sheds to take samples.

I found that the things in it were also Zheng Si overheard Old Man Lan instructing students when he came to play once, and he learned about the things grown in some special flower sheds.

Zheng Si got this mushroom-like thing, the origin is not in China, it is introduced, Old Man Lan got some from a friend, because this plant belongs to the symbiotic class, Old Man Lan also deliberately planted some other tree species in the flower shed, due to the scale of the flower shed, can not plant a large tree. Later, Old Man Lan found that no matter how to adjust the temperature and growth environment, these introduced varieties have not been planted well, they are always small and do not grow big, but they are still toxic.

It contains hallucinogenic neurotoxins, and people who accidentally ingest it will hallucinate, as if everything around them is magnified, which is what Old Man Lan said to the students, "visual enlargement hallucinations", but there are very few examples of death, and just a few of them will not be fatal.

The onset time is 30 minutes to two hours after consumption, and the patient will experience obvious dizziness, vomiting, hallucinations, etc.

At that time, Zheng Si was lying on top of the flower shed, listening to Old Man Lan's explanation, and felt that it was really magical. And when he decided to teach the tattooed man a lesson, Zheng Si thought of the many poisonous plants in the several flower sheds where Old Man Lan wore warning signs, including belladonna, etc., these plants are very useful in medicine, but they can kill people if they are not used well.

However, Zheng Si finally chose this one, and Old Man Lan said what kind of umbrella it was called. Whatever it is, just know how effective it is.

At half past seven in the evening, Zheng Si came to the tattooed man's house with a bag.

The tattooed man leaves between half-past eight and nine to head to his workplace, and before that, the tattooed man takes a shower, makes a bowl of instant noodles, drinks a cup of tea, and leaves. Every day.

Zheng sighed and waited outside for a while, and then heard the sound of the tattooed man in the kitchen taking out a bucket of instant noodles.

The tattooed man poured the boiling water from the electric cup next to him, and by the way, he took out the half bag of braised pork that he brought back from the club yesterday, put a few pieces of meat into the instant noodle bowl, and stirred it.

After soaking it, the tattooed man went to the toilet to take a bath.

Zheng Si came in through the broken window, carefully poured a few small "mushrooms" into the small bag, and grabbed a fork and stirred it.

The instant noodles are spicy, and the red oil wraps the braised pork and "mushrooms" inside, and it is not easy to see the abnormality of the "mushrooms" after soaking for a while.

Zheng Si put the fork back in its place, and the bag containing the "mushrooms" was rolled up and inserted back into the rubber band. Hearing the movement on the other side of the toilet, Zheng Si jumped out of the broken window and squatted on the outside wall to look at the tattooed man's bedroom.

In the dark, you can't see the scene outside the window from the house, so when the tattooed man returned to the bedroom with instant noodles to eat, he didn't notice that there was a cat watching outside his window.

The tattooed man ate absent-mindedly, and he didn't know if he would see the same scene as the previous day when he came back tomorrow morning, so he didn't pay attention to the different things in the instant noodles from the braised pork.

After watching the tattooed man finish eating, Zheng Si left here and came to the place where the tattooed man must pass through - the pee point.

Behind the walled wall was a pile of miscellaneous items piled up by the residents, and among these miscellaneous items were hidden a few bottles of beer, which Zheng Si had "taken" from the small restaurant. Fortunately, the small restaurant is not far from here, otherwise Zheng Si would not have gotten beer in glass bottles.

Zheng Si relied on holding the beer bottle in both hands and standing on two legs to "walk" here step by step. Fortunately, it was night when the action was carried out, and no one saw it, otherwise it would probably be regarded as a monster. How can there be a cat that walks on two legs like a human with a wine bottle?

No one thought that it would be a cat who stole the wine, after all, ordinary cats don't have that much strength to transfer an unopened bottle of beer.

Placed the hidden bottles of beer on the wall that blocked the road, and then Zheng Si squatted behind the wall, standing on the debris, showing only one head, looking at the fork. The leather bands and bags around the neck have long been thrown away, and now they are ready for the final link.

After a while, Zheng Si saw the familiar figure. The tattooed man seems to be drunk and walks unsteadily.

It seems that it is starting to have an effect.

The tattooed man came over here, muttering something in his mouth, Zheng Si couldn't hear it clearly, and he didn't care, he just stared at the figure that came over in a hurry.

The tattooed man came to the familiar wall, there was still a familiar smell of urine, the tattooed man didn't know what to think, hehe smiled, and then unbuttoned his pants and began to pee, peeing and peeing, the tattooed man suddenly held on to the wall and vomited "wow".

This urine hasn't been pulled out yet, and it's really spit up and down.

Zheng sighed and pulled his ears, the smell was really unpleasant.

The tattooed man's consciousness had begun to blur, it was dark around him, and he couldn't see anything. He held on to the wall for a while, rested for a while, and was about to leave, but his pants were not pulled on, and he probably had forgotten about it.

As soon as he took two steps, there was a sudden "bang" sound at his feet, which was quite piercing in the silent night, and the tattooed man was startled, and his feet fell to the ground as soon as he became weak.

At the same time, the beer bottle exploded in fragments, and although the tattooed man was wearing thicker clothes, his hands were exposed, and now there were several blood marks scratched by the debris. The pants weren't pulled up, and the crumbs were stuck in the thighs, and the work was almost crossed off.

The tattooed man's reaction was much more sluggish, and he felt that everything around him had become strange, as if he had come to a strange and desperate place, surrounded by high copper walls.

Where is the way out?!

Where can you escape?!

"Whew-"

The abrupt cry was particularly frightening in such an environment, and the tattooed man looked around with horror, feeling as if a beast was hiding outside the "iron wall" around him, looking at him, and he himself seemed to be too small to be worth mentioning.

Another resident on the other side of the intersection came back on a small electric car, and the afterglow of the not bright headlights made it a little brighter for a second or two.

And in these two seconds, when the tattooed man looked around with a blurred vision, he saw a pair of shining eyes on the "copper wall", glowing with a ghostly light, which was particularly eye-catching against the surrounding black background. And the hallucination made him feel like the eyes he saw were like huge searchlights.

"Whew-"

Hearing this cry again, the tattooed man trembled, and his forehead was covered with sweat and some blood from scratches.

Bang!

There was another popping sound. The bottle exploded right at the tattooed man's feet.

The tattooed man felt as if he had been scratched by something on his hands, face, and legs, and it was very painful, burning pain, but his hands and feet did not obey the call, and he couldn't react.

The tattooed man was lying on the ground, holding his head and curled up in a ball, shaking all over.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

……

Explosions one after another. Pounding his eardrum, stimulating his nerves.

In the already chaotic consciousness, certain emotions suddenly began to become sharp.

It must be that monster!

Right! Definitely the monster with eyes like two big searchlights!

Every time the explosion sounded, the tattooed man felt that the monster's footsteps were approaching, and then he would be injured, as if the next moment he would be torn to pieces and crushed into pulp.

"Meow-meow-"

After throwing the wine bottle, Zheng Si was looking at the people curled up in a ball on the ground and shivering, when he suddenly heard a cat meow. The voice......

The tattooed man on the ground heard the meow of a cat and suddenly remembered the toy cat that had recently been placed in front of his house. I remembered the kittens who fell to death some time ago.

Is it because of those cats, this big monster that found itself?

Cats, blood, screams, and other things that are related to it or unrelated and that make him afraid, all come to mind one by one, and the burning pain in some parts of his body is getting stronger and stronger, and the pain is so painful that he wants to scream out loud, but in fact he only makes a humming sound, and it feels like a pair of big feet stepping on him, too depressed to vent.

The human brain is a wonderful thing, you always think that you have forgotten things, but in a casual moment, remember the forgotten part, or, under the stimulation of some environmental factors, those faded fragments are spliced together one by one, and slowly and clearly played in your mind.

And what comes to mind at this time, it will not be as easy to forget it as it was the first time, it will take months, or years, or, in serious cases, a conditioned reflex will be formed for the rest of this life. Once there are environmental conditions similar to those at that time and some familiar factors around you, the brain will uncontrollably look for those images that you have always wanted to bury deep in the depths of memory, and those things that you will never want to recall will be scooped up from the deep sea of memory, and those pictures that you avoid will rage like a storm until you deepen the impression again.

Perhaps, after the toxins on the tattooed man's body are metabolized and the hallucinations disappear, he will tremble when he hears the sound of a cat meowing and the bottle exploding again, and he will recall his own feelings at this time, right?

Zheng Si glanced at the person who was still curled up there and twitching, jumped off the wall, and left.

The smell of alcohol is all over the body, and blow it more before going home.

Thinking about it, Zheng Si walked along the fence to the outside of the alley, and after a few steps, he saw a cat squatting on the wall outside the fork.

It's the big white cat.

Zheng Si didn't know why it came here at this time, was it a coincidence or something else?

"Meow—"

The big white cat barked at Zheng Si.

Zheng sighed for a moment, raised his chin, shook his tail slowly, and staggered away.
