10. Monsters
Chapter X
In the afternoon, Ke Bei received a call from Zhou Nannan: "Beibei, are you about to get off work?" β
Ke Bei: "There's still an hour, what's up?" β
Zhou Nannan: "I booked a conveyor sushi yesterday, but Yang Fan has to work overtime tonight, I can't go, do you want to come?" β
Ke Bei thought that the two of them hadn't been together for a long time, so she said, "Okay, then you can set a place later, and you can send me the address." β
"Don't be so troublesome," Zhou Nannan said: "Our two companies are just one street apart, and you will wait at the intersection later, and I will go to look for you." β
The restaurant that Zhou Nannan booked was quite close to Ke Bei's community, and it took half an hour to take the bus, but because it was the rush hour after work, it was almost seven o'clock when I went.
The two of them were so hungry that they devoured it, and when they finally had their fill, Zhou Nannan asked Ke Bei with some curiosity: "How are you and Fang Qinghe doing?" β
Ke Bei pouted: "It's not good, he has been quite close to a team leader in our department recently." β
Zhou Nannan: "No, then what are you going to do?" β
"What can I do?" Ke Bei smiled and said, "One person is not married and the other is not married, you still don't allow people to fall in love?" β
Zhou Nannan: "But don't you like Fang Qinghe......"
"Well, I don't know," said Ke Bei, "I do have a crush on him, but if I really like him, I don't ...... him."
Sometimes Ke Bei can't even understand herself.
Looking back, she liked Fang Qinghe at first, but it was because of the rumors that came out when everyone was joking in the past, and in the end, even Ke Bei took it seriously. From the initial indifference, to the occasional care, and then to the habitual attention...... Even she was surprised when she reacted
Ke Bei has reflected a lot recently, and when she saw Fang Qinghe and Zhang Meiqi getting closer and closer, she felt a little relieved in addition to being depressed and sad, as if she had waited for a long time, just for this moment.
Then she finally understood - maybe what she liked was not Fang Qinghe, but the rumored "Ke Bei" who had not changed her affection for Fang Qinghe for three years.
Zhou Nannan sighed, and then seemed to remember something, patted his head and said, "Eh, I almost forgot to say it, didn't you ask me to help inquire about Yang Hui before?" β
"What? Do you have news of Yang Hui? Where is she? Ke Bei instantly came to his senses.
"Oh no, you listen to me first," Zhou Nannan interrupted her, "Isn't there a girl in our literature and art department who is also an exchange student abroad, and she is in the same class as Yang Hui, I have heard a lot of rumors about Yang Hui from her." β
Ke Bei was stunned: "What rumors." βγ
Zhou Nannan took a sip of buckwheat tea, "It is said that Yang Hui had a foreign boyfriend when she was studying abroad, and that foreign man was quite famous in school, especially a playboy, and he had several girlfriends at the same time when he was dating Yang Hui, but Yang Hui was very infatuated with him at the time, I heard that ...... He was even pregnant with his child. β
Ke Bei's eyes widened, "Isn't it, kid?" β
Zhou Nannan nodded: "I said that I was five months old, but Yang Hui's boyfriend asked her to beat it, Yang Hui was reluctant at first, but not long after she came to school again, the child was gone, and after a while, everyone found that Yang Hui's boyfriend was dead, and the body was hidden behind the school garbage pool, and it was already stinky when she found it." And ......"
Zhou Nannan hesitated for a moment and said, "When I investigated, I found that the man was actually killed, and everyone suspected that it was Yang Hui...... However, the evidence was insufficient, and Yang Hui was also graduating and returning to China, so the case was closed. β
The restaurant is not far from the happy community, and after eating, Ke Bei walked all the way home and thought: Yang Hui killed someone? How so? She also mentioned that her boyfriend is abroad, and although Yang Hui is a little short-tempered, she is very good-hearted, and she is optimistic and cheerful, they have known each other for more than two years, and they have never seen Yang Hui angry, how can such a good girl kill someone?
That must be a misunderstanding!
Just thinking about it, Ke Bei suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, a little hairy in her heart, a little chilly behind her back, and it felt like ...... Something staring at her from behind!
Ke Bei quickly turned his head to see that the street was brightly lit, and there were many people who came out for a walk at this point, and many children were running around, frolicking, and there was nothing.
Could it be that there have been too many things going on lately, and she is too sensitive?
After the next intersection, you can walk a little longer to the gate of the happy community, Ke Bei paused, and then continued to walk forward.
When Ke Bei walked to about 800 meters away from the entrance of the community, that feeling suddenly came again, and I don't know when, the street that was quite lively instantly became quiet, and there was no one.
This time, Ke Bei didn't have to look back, she knew that there was something behind her - there was no street light on the road in front of the community, the light source was only a general large light on the street, and the end of the street was the entrance of the community, so when Ke Bei walked inside, the light source came from behind, and the shadow was in front of the person, and now, next to her shadow, there was a vague black shadow standing side by side......
There was a strong fishy smell wafting in the air, and the smell was the same as dead cat meat just pulled out of the sewer, ** and sour.
Ke Bei sniffed sharply and almost didn't spit it out!
Suddenly, there was a "rustling" friction sound behind her, and the sound seemed to be close to her back into her ears, Ke Bei only felt a numb back, and screamed "Ah", picked up her arms and ran ahead!
I haven't run two steps yet, but I saw a tight back collar!
- I was caught!
Ke Bei looked back and found that the person who came was a strange old woman!
The old woman was dressed in tattered clothes and carrying a snakeskin bag full of plastic bottlesβthe "rustle" sound was probably the thing.
The old woman looked skinny, but she had a lot of strength!
Ke Bei only felt a weight on her shoulders, and she was suddenly pulled to the ground by the old woman! Then, like dragging a dead dog, drag Ke Bei into the flower bed on the side! Ke Bei gritted her teeth and tore off her collar, turned around and ran back without looking!
It's a pity that she hasn't been able to go far yet, Ke Bei only felt a sharp pain in her back, and she was suddenly overturned by the old woman to the ground. Then she had a pain in her calf, and she was grabbed by a black hand.
The old woman stared at a pair of eyes that were about to come out of the frame, "giggled", and then pulled Ke Bei over little by little like catching a chicken in a slaughterhouse.
"Nope! No! β
Ke Bei cried and propped her elbows on the ground and stepped back, but the old woman looked at her, as if she had noticed something particularly interesting, "hehe" laughed, and then somehow suddenly let go of her hand.
Before Ke Bei could be ecstatic, she saw the old woman put her hands on top of her head, put her fingers in her hair, and then grinned and took off her scalp as if she were undressing......
A strong fishy smell splashed out along with the brain, and the old woman even stopped to lick the liquid on her fingers!
Ke Bei's "ah" sounded so frightened that she almost collapsed!
Nima, what kind of monster is this?! Disgusting to death, ugly and disgusting!
At this time, the old woman suddenly shook her hand, and said "He is coming" with extremely resentful eyes, and then she didn't care about the scalp that saw the wind, picked up the snakeskin bag on the side, and ran into the bushes on the side like the wind.
Half a minute later, Ke Bei saw Xie Mo riding a Phoenix bicycle from the 80s, with a golden light behind him, coming to her like a hero of the world.
