Yan Xi usually goes home by taking a bus to the nearest station in the suburbs, walking for a while, walking to a place that is sparsely populated and unmonitored, and then walking home.

Because today's state is indeed a little strange, Yan Xi did not wait for the bus, but took a taxi back, ready to get off in the suburbs, and then walked back.

At dusk, Yan Xi sat in the car, and the taxi was driving slowly on the narrow and crowded road, and suddenly, the chubby old driver glanced in the rearview mirror and muttered, "Why does the car behind always follow us." ”

Yan Xi, who was sitting in the back seat, raised his head and glanced in the rearview mirror, only to see that behind them, there seemed to be a silver-gray car following them not far away.

Something familiar.

Yan Xi asked the driver to stop the car, and instead of going to the suburbs, he got off the car on the side of the bustling road.

Yan Xi got out of the car and continued along the road pretending not to find anything, but his nerves kept paying attention to the silver-gray car. The owner of the car seemed to hesitate for more than ten seconds, and then drove directly to Yan Xi.

Yan Xi stopped, and the owner of the car opened the window, revealing a familiar face of Yan Xi, who was Zhang Yi who had been trying to get close to him in the hospital. He sat in the car and asked Yan Xi. "Yan Xi, what a coincidence, I saw you here. I keep saying that I don't have time to invite you to dinner, do you have time today? ”

Zhang Yi is a little nervous now, even if he pretends to be natural, he feels that his face is a little unnatural. Because, he felt that he was about to reveal the secret that Yan Xi wanted to hide.

Yan Xi jumped violently the moment he saw Zhang Yi, and this strange warning made Yan Xi, who was originally impatient, raise his eyes to look at Zhang Yi. Under Yan Xi's mutated and strengthened five senses, Zhang Yi's stiff demeanor could not be hidden.

In his inquiring gaze, Zhang Yi's expression became even more stiff, his eyes looked over with unconcealed surprise and panic, and the hand holding the steering wheel couldn't help but tremble, looking at each other for more than a few seconds, his gaze shifted slightly, avoiding his eyes. At this time, even if he still tried to curl the corners of his mouth on his face, habitually wanting to smile as always, his eyes made people see at a glance that there was no trace of smile, and his muscles were stiff and there was no trace of softness of a smile.

As time passed, Zhang Yi saw that Yan Xi just looked at him quietly and didn't speak, his dark eyes seemed to see through all his qiē at once, his heart was pounding, he didn't know if he was nervous, he swallowed his saliva without a trace, trying to make the smile on his face softer.

"Yan Xi, get in the car, right?" He opened the car door and invited him earnestly.

Yan Xi sensitively noticed that Zhang Yi was different from the past. He recalled the anxiety in his heart for the day, and his eyelids fluttered warningly. He covered his eyes slightly, was all the qiē because of Zhang Yi? What did he find? Or do you know something?

Zhang Yi pursed his lips, looked at the open car door, and nodded under Zhang Yi's inexplicable stunnedness.

It is necessary to confirm whether Zhang Yi knows something.

Yan Xi was invited so easily, which made Zhang Yi, who knew his temperament, feel a little uneasy, and his eyes secretly looking at Yan Xi were mixed with more surprise.

The car drove slowly.

Yan Xi lowered his eyes slightly. He quietly controlled the wound on the back of his hand, making the wound on the back of his hand a little bigger, and when Zhang Yi was not paying attention, a wound instantly appeared on the back of his intact hand, and it was several times rougher than the original wound that was only slender and slightly turned over, and the flesh turned out, which was extremely hideous. A picture that requires stitches.

He showed his hand to Zhang Yi, and Zhang Yi was slightly stunned. Yan Xirang's face turned pale, and he looked at the other party's vigilance that dropped in an instant with satisfaction, and also made an excuse for his abrupt agreement, and said, "Can you go to the hospital first while you are in your car?" ”

It was natural, Zhang Yi forgot about what had plagued her all afternoon. The hideous wound kept brainwashing his head, and he immediately took Yan Xi to a nearby hospital for stitches quite nervously.

Pingbai took a few injections, and by the time the two of them came out of the overcrowded hospital, it was already dark. Yan Xi's hand was wrapped in white gauze on the back of his hand at this time, and the appearance of the injury made Zhang Yikong can't help but glance at it.

"Are you alright?"

Yan Xi shook his head, "It's okay, I'm just a little hungry." ”

When Yan Xi said this, Zhang Yi thought of the thing that he said at the beginning that he wanted to invite Yan Xi to dinner. Picking and choosing, he found a restaurant that was both delicious and emotional, and drove over.

The two were led into the box by the waiter. The two ordered a meal, Zhang Yi drank tea, and the atmosphere was quiet for a while, in this soothing environment, only then did he react and remember the reason for following Yan Xi on impulse.

Good noon, Gan Ziyang finished eating, he finished reading the post, and then found that he was agreed by the group owner and joined the classmate group to chat. It's all friends I met with Yan Xi in college.

He knew that when he was in college, Cheng Yue followed Yan Xi more closely than anyone else, and he wanted to ask him about Yan Xi, and Cheng Yue must know most of it. mentioned Cheng Yue slightly in the group, but as soon as he asked, the group was silent. It was a long time before someone sued him.

Cheng Yue died.

Cheng Yue, who had been following Yan Xi and never leaving an inch, died a lot.

Zhang Yi was stunned for a moment when she heard this. It is said that he was bitten by a snake and died, it was highly venomous, and he was no longer breathing when he was sent to the hospital. Zhang Yi didn't know what was going on? And then, he asked Yan Xi in the group again, and when he asked, he was a little confused.

Yan Xi had graduated early and had not contacted them for five or six years.

What the hell is going on? Zhang Yi felt that she was already confused. chatted in the group for an afternoon, pieced together, and figured out everything after he left. What Yan Xi disappeared from mathematics for a long time, and then came back abruptly, and his personality changed drastically, etc. There is even Cheng Yue's death, and he was injured in Yan Xi's house before he died.

Of course, if you look at it from here, that's all there is to it. However, in connection with this afternoon's post, this matter is not so simple.

At the first moment of hearing the cause of Cheng Yue's death, Zhang Yi inevitably remembered the post he read. Later, when he heard that Yan Xi and Cheng Yue seemed to have a faint conflict, he became even more suspicious.

If there is nothing coincidental in one thing, but there are children who are very similar to Yan Xi's eyebrows and eyes on the post, no matter how he suppresses it, he can't help but be suspicious.

Zhang Yi remembered the chat in the group, and most people guessed that Yan Xi's sudden disappearance of the moon might have gone to find a girlfriend. What is the big thing that can make Yan Xi disappear so much, and come back so low-key and hard-working. The most likely explanation is that the unknown girlfriend is pregnant, and with a child, all he is ......

Zhang Yi shook his head, feeling that this was all a guess. But nothing could be more logical than these speculations.

If the post is Yan Xi, then it makes sense.

Zhang Yi put down the water, after some thought, the suspicion of Yan Xi quietly rose again, he secretly observed Yan Xi opposite, opposite he was drinking tea with low eyebrows and lowered eyes, the light in the box hit his body, his skin was like jade, and when he took off the mask, his whole person seemed to be glowing, and a slight blink of an eye was particularly eye-catching.

He like this, will really ......

Zhang Yi didn't want to think deeply, he lowered his head and took a sip of tea. Suppressing the unwarranted anxiety in his heart, he pursed his lips and put down the emerald green teacup. The tentative words turned around in his heart again, and he asked naturally, "Yan Xi, I haven't seen you for a long time, I don't know how you're doing?" Married? Got a baby? ”

Child?

Yan Xi, who was highly nervous, originally doubted whether Zhang Yi knew something, so he followed him here to see what he wanted to say. I didn't think that the first thing he said was the child, could it be that Zhang Yi knew about the storage of the blood ball?

Yan Xi's eyelids were still beating, and his nerves were twitching, very uncomfortable. Especially when I saw Zhang Yi opposite. He was now holding back the feeling and thinking. denied Zhang Yi's words, "Not yet, what about you?" I should be married. ”

Zhang Yi looked at him and nodded. "Yes, it's almost there." After a change of words, he said, "That is, in the past two months, I invited my college classmates, by the way, Yan Xi, do you know Cheng Yue?" He had the best relationship with you when he was in college, I can't find his contact information, can you help me contact him? ”

Zhang Yi's voice fell, and at this time, the waiter opened the door of the box, served the dishes one by one, and put plates of beautiful and fragrant meals on the table. A steaming mist drifted between the two, blurring each other's faces. When the waiter finished serving, the door of the box was closed again.

Yan Xi delicately put down the water glass, breaking the frozen atmosphere. looked at Zhang Yi. "Don't you know? Cheng Yue: He died. ”

Zhang Yi's breathing was suddenly stunned, and Yan Xi felt that his throat was a little dry, "How did you die?" ”

Yan Xi heard Zhang Yi's words, and also heard a subtle trill of his speech, the movement of his throat sliding, and the movement of his palms slightly clenched under the table.

That's not an attitude of surprise.

"Killed by a poisonous snake." Zhang Yi looked at Yan Xi's eyes, Yan Xi's cold pupils also looked at him, and they looked into the depths of each other's eyes.

A person's subconscious reaction can't deceive people, Yan Xi knew that judging from Zhang Yi's appearance, he knew Cheng Yue's death before asking. When he heard his answer, Zhang Yi's dilated pupils, a flash of fear, and subconsciously clenched his hands into fists slightly closer, and that defensive attitude towards him all deeply illustrated a fact.

Yan Xi's eyelids jumped wildly as this conversation ended. With that came his increasingly sharp mood. He lowered his gaze to the beautifully shaped chopsticks on the table, round and slender.

At this time, Zhang Yi had already sorted out his mood, he smiled, and beckoned Yan Xi to eat.

Yan Xi's hand was injured, the white gauze wrapped the entire back of his hand, and he couldn't use chopsticks at all just after stitching. However, the careful Zhang Yi specially asked the waiter to take a fork before ordering. He stepped forward to serve Yan Xi and let Yan Xi eat with his left hand.

Yan Xi said, "Thank you." "Picked up the fork.

At the dinner table, Zhang Yi's temptation was not over. He didn't know if he would call the police or what. But he just cares about the unbearable side of Yan Xi.

He poured two glasses of wine for Yan Xi and himself.

"Yan Xi, you are not married, is there any old love that is unforgettable?"

Yan Xi put aside the wine sent by Zhang Yi and shook his head, "No." ”

Zhang Yi smiled, but Yan Xi had any subtle expression, "Don't you consider getting married when you're so big?" Don't want a child? ”

Yan Xi's expression was still cold, but his hand holding the fork tightened. He replied casually, "I'll talk about it later." ”

"Speaking of this, I saw a post on the Internet, in which a child looks very similar to you, I don't know if I think it's your son? Yan Xi: Are you really sure you don't have children? ”

"Really? It's a shame it's not. Yan Xi's eyes stared at the vegetables in the bowl, and the silver-colored fork he was holding in his hand clicked and gently inserted it, he slowly put it in his mouth, chewing gently, with a casual attitude, a picture of enjoying the food wholeheartedly.

There is really no trace of it.

Zhang Yi didn't see anything from Yan Xi's flat face at all, he was a little suspicious of his guess, was Yan Xi really as he thought?

Zhang Yi frowned and unconsciously drank another glass of wine. And with this glass of wine in his stomach, his stomach was cold. He put down his cup and was about to pick up his chopsticks for a hot dish when the phone in his pocket began to buzz.

Zhang Yi put down her chopsticks, picked up her mobile phone, and looked at the call notes on the mobile phone screen. His eyes couldn't help but change, and he quickly glanced up at Yan Xi, and then stood up with an apologetic smile.

"I'll go out and take a call."

"Yes." Yan Xi nodded, Zhang Yi walked out, closed the door, and answered the phone at the door.

"Hey, hello, is it Mr. Zhang?"

"Yes. Are you wishful ......" Zhang Yi lowered her voice, glanced at the closed door, and the words behind gradually faded away.

"Yes, Mr. Zhang, our Ruyi Private Detective Agency has received your commission, I will send you an email in a while, you remember to send us the other party's photos and the basic information you know, as well as about ......"

Yan Xi sat in the box, chewing his meal while listening to the sound of phone calls outside. The walls of the box in the hotel were very thin, Yan Xi listened carefully, under his abnormal and strengthened body, his five senses increased, and the voice on the phone was not particularly clear, but he also heard all the approximations.

The silver-colored forks glowed with condensation in the light, sharp and cold. He slowly □□ the crisp apple, then put it in his mouth and chewed it gently.

Ruyi Private Detective is a well-known private detective agency here, with high efficiency, Zhang Yi thought of this detective agency for the first time when she was suspicious of Yan Xi. He hesitated, but after all, he still had the upper hand on Yan Xi's concern, and still placed an order online. Leave a number for the other person to contact. Then he went back to the same, but he didn't expect to see Yan Xi, who was in a hurry to get off work early, and his brows were furrowed.

When Zhang Yi saw his expression, he thought for a moment that something big had happened to Yan Xi. Out of a shocked guess in the afternoon, he quietly followed behind Yan Xi, but what he didn't expect was that Yan Xi actually discovered his tracking. Things have unexpectedly come to this point.

He didn't talk to Ruyi's private detective for too long, because he was worried about Yan Xi in the room, so he hurriedly ended the topic. I went back to my room. Perhaps because of psychological reasons, when he returned to the room, he always felt that Yan Xi's gaze was a little cold.

Zhang Yi pulled out the stool and ate under the table, without testing each other again. The two of them finished their meal quickly. When I walked out of the hotel, it was already dark outside. Because Yan Xi's hand was injured, Zhang Yi, who didn't know that Yan Xi's family was in the suburbs, decided to send him home first. Yan Xi turned his head and slightly curled the corners of his mouth, but did not refuse.

He sat in the co-pilot's seat, Zhang Yi sat in the driver's seat, and the car drove out. Yan Xi pointed in the direction, and Zhang Yi drove according to his instructions. Soon, the car was out into the street, moving quickly. As he galloped, the colorful lights outside the street swept over Yan Xi's face from time to time.

Yan Xi sat in the co-pilot, under the cover of gauze on his right hand, he manipulated the wound on the back of his hand at will, one would let it heal, one would let it crack, one would let his flesh turn into a small hand to remove the thread, and one would let the little hand melt back into the back of his hand.

Over the years, he knew that as each runaway period ended, he would improve his body in shaping and manipulating his body. Moreover, under the frequent intrusion of the runaway period, he can already have a premonition of the arrival of the next runaway period. And it is clearly understood that the time interval between runaway periods is lengthening again and again. And the last time he was out of control in the deep mountains ended, for the first time, he had a hunch that the interval between the next runaway period was two or three years long.

His life to get rid of monsters has only just begun. So, how can people destroy it?

Yan Xi's eyes were cold, and when Zhang Yi asked again to turn in that direction, he replied casually, and his eyes fell on the messy mobile phone number line in front of the car.

Absolutely not.

The car went farther and farther under the guidance of Yan Xi, the prosperity at the beginning to the desertion later, the two rows of street lights to the dark road conditions, the wide avenue to the narrow cement road. As there were fewer and fewer households on both sides, and more and more land around, after drinking two glasses of wine, Zhang Yi, who was a little dazed, finally sobered up a little under the cold wind.

"Yan Xi, are you almost there?"

"Yes." Yan Xi nodded and reassured him.

As soon as Yan Xi's suspicion was discovered this afternoon, and he came to such a remote place with him in the evening, Zhang Yi smiled reluctantly, "Hehe, I'm afraid I won't be able to find my way back when I come back." ”

"Don't you have navigation?"

Zhang Yi laughed dryly, although Yan Xi's words were a little unkind, and he didn't even say a word that he would live there if he couldn't go back, but Zhang Yi knew that Yan Xi was not a person of any character, and if he really said it, he would have to stand upside down, and he would be scared enough.

Zhang Yi relaxed slightly, he continued to drive forward, as he walked forward, there were no people on both sides of the road, and it was dark all around. Except for the lights in front of the car, even the inside of the car was dark.

It's already wild, summer is coming, and the wind rustles the sound of weeds. With a slightly cool wind, they breathed in front of the window, and the car drove across the road in the blink of an eye, and in the compartment of the two people, Zhang Yi could only see Yan Xi's general figure clearly. Neither of them spoke, and the silence was even quieter against the background of various noises outside, so quiet that he could even smell Yan Xi's steady breathing.

"Yan Xi, are you asleep?"

"Nope."

"When will your house arrive?"

"It's coming."

Compared with his voice, Yan Xi's voice always carried a calmness, and in this atmosphere, Zhang Yi inevitably remembered a horror novel.

One night, when it was almost dark, the woman followed his lover to his house for the first time. The woman was very excited, chattering along the way, asking the man, why is it not there yet? Why hasn't it been yet? The man was always calm and said it's fast, it's fast. drove her to the wilderness of more and more wilderness. And when the last rays of sunlight disappeared, the man finally stopped. Arrived at the destination. He led the woman to a tombstone. Said to the woman.

- This is my home!

Zhang Yi wanted to smile, but he couldn't. Which man is Yan Xi to him? The wine was blown awake by fear, and the more Zhang Yi thought about it, the more wrong it became.

If Yan Xi really ......

Zhang Yi paused for breathing, didn't dare to continue to think about this question, he licked his somewhat dry lips, and his palms were a little sweaty. His voice was a little hoarse, and he changed the subject and asked, "Yan Xi, where is your home?" ”

"Suburbs."

In the deserted suburbs, the smile on Zhang Yi's face couldn't be maintained.

"Is it almost there?"

"It's coming."

"Do you have anyone else in your house?"

"Nope."

"Do you know my name?"

"Zhang Yi?"

"It's Zhang Yuyi."

"Oh."

As Yan Xi's words fell, Zhang Yuyi's heart curled up unbearably nervously, there was no one else at home, the rent in the small county town was not expensive, and it was close to the hospital. Why live in the middle of nowhere? Even his real name has been forgotten, and Yan Xi, who has always hated strangers approaching him, would actually eat with him? His breathing was unsteady, and sweat slowly oozed from his forehead.

He tugged at his pale lips, hoping very much that his guess was wrong. Swallowing his saliva, he said a little nervously, "Hehe, Yan Xi, it may be that I drank too much wine today, and I have a little urgency to urinate, so I will stop and defecate." Do you want convenience? ”

Yan Xi nodded. "Okay."

Zhang Yuyi swallowed his saliva, he slammed on the brakes and stopped the car, the harsh sound of the brakes was very obvious in the night, Zhang Yuyi suppressed his heartbeat, and he said to Yan Xi, "Then you go down first." ”

"Okay!" Hearing Yan Xi's voice, Zhang Yuyi was overjoyed, but before Yan Xi got out of the car, he felt the wrist of his left hand cold, and grabbed his wrist with one hand, and he listened to Yan Xi in the dark. "I want to go out for a while, but I hurt my hand, can you come and open the door for me?"

Zhang Yuyi's scalp was numb, "Then you let go of me, I'll open the lock,"

"That's not going to work." Yan Xi said slowly, the dark clouds outside the window just dispersed at this moment, Zhang Yuyi clearly saw Yan Xi's eyes, a pair of eyes that were darker than the night, he looked at him and said, "Then what should you do if you run away?" ”

Zhang Yuyi's eyes widened, feeling that his two hands were imprisoned, and his strength was not good, no matter how hard he struggled, it was useless. And Yan Xi also stretched out two hands at this time. The hand that had been wrapped in gauze was intact, and the gauze was gone.

"What Dong ......" Before he could speak, Yan Xi didn't know where the extra two hands came from, and the number of jù threads in his hands was put around his neck. Pulling back vigorously, Zhang Yuyi's entire body leaned towards Yan Xi's place.

Yan Xi hugged Zhang Yuyi's head with one hand, fixed him to prevent him from moving, and continued to pull the number of jù lines with the other hand, strangling hard.

“…… Woo...... Hmm...... Yes...... Put...... Let go ......" Zhang Yuyi's legs kicked around, he tried to shake his head from side to side, dodging the pull, but to no avail, time passed little by little, his face began to turn red, and the green tendons were exposed. My throat was tightened and my breath was suffocated. His red-blooded bulging eyes looked desperately at Yan Xi behind him, and when he tried to the end, he only saw the corners of Yan Xun's mouth slightly upturned.

Yan Xi felt that Zhang Yuyi in his arms had no breath, so he let go of him and pushed him into the driver's seat. Zhang Yuyi's body fell on the steering wheel as usual, and his unwilling eyes widened, and at this time, his eyes clearly saw what was imprisoning his wrist.

Yan Xi turned on the lights in the car, put away the two extra hands that had been shaped, tore off the injured gauze on this hand, fused with the two hands that strangled Zhang Yuyi, and turned into two hands, he stepped forward to pick up Zhang Yuyi, threw him into the back seat of the car, sat in the driver's seat, started the car, and drove home.
