Don't come home late at night, he said.

He wears a black shirt and pants. The sleeves of his shirt were tightly wrapped around his hands and neck, and the collar was unbuttoned only at the top, so that his whole body was wrapped in his clothes. But the clothes were dangling, and it seemed that his body could not support the clothes at all.

He was so thin, so thin that a gust of wind could blow him into the sky.

But it was this man, standing behind her, who said in a gloomy tone, "Don't come home late at night." She turned around when she heard the voice, and the man's pale face fell into her eyes. She didn't even have time to feel the fear before a chill grew up her spine. But before the coolness could spread, the man's hand covered her mouth, and the scream that came up to her was choked back.

A lean man, but with arms as hard as a stone.

Her lips touched a hint of shade, which was contained in a soft texture. It's a strange feeling, how can coolness and softness be associated with this lean man?

But she no longer had the opportunity to find out the results. She fainted.

She was now in his arms, and he was standing on the sidewalk on the side of the street, holding her. At this time, many panicked people began to appear in the streets, as if they had suddenly emerged from the ground. The ground shook again, and several buildings on the side of the street emitted some faint **, some glass shattered, and shards spilled down and smashed on some people. The men screamed, fleeing faster.

Where can you escape, the lean man in black thought, no matter how fast you run, you can outpace the footsteps of death?

The muscles at the corners of his mouth moved at the thought of death, and if you looked closely, you would see that he was actually smiling. His smile was stiff, and the top part of his face didn't move, except that the corners of his mouth turned up.

Death is omnipresent, he thought. He looked down at the woman in his arms, and the muscles at the corners of his mouth moved again. I am her Grim Reaper, and her life is now in my hands. Thinking like this, he was a little proud, and he couldn't wait for what was going to happen.

The lean man in black carried the woman on his shoulders and slowly walked down the side of the street.

His pace was slow, because every step he took seemed to think first, but the distance he took was quite fast.

In normal times, even in the middle of the night, it would be a very rare thing for a lean ghostly man to carry a fashionably dressed young woman down the street. But tonight was obviously different, there was an earthquake, and many things could be seen on the streets that would normally be strange, and the only conscious awareness of everyone in this sudden disaster was to find a safe place, so almost everyone ignored the strange behavior of the man in black.

The man in black carried the young and fashionable girl and soon disappeared from our sight.

After Yuan Li got off work, she originally planned to go to "High Roller" to eat steak, but when she walked out of the building, she always had a strange feeling in her heart. Yuan Li is a bold girl, and this unexplained nervousness makes her a little confused. She walked down the street, wondering whether to go to High Roller or call a random friend to come out.

Her final decision was to go home immediately.

Although the house was only a rented two-bedroom apartment, the door was equipped with a "Wang Li" brand security door, and although there was no security net in the window, she didn't believe that anyone would break in through the window on the eleventh floor.

How could anyone have thought of breaking in? Back at home, Yuan Li sat on the sofa in a daze. A lot of things were strange today, first she felt a cold wind in the elevator, then she was willing to give up a good night to get home early, and finally she was still restless when she was locked up in a familiar house. Yuan Li didn't want to think about the lean man she met in the elevator at noon, why should she think about him? He just grew thinner, and he was a person who lived outside of Yuan Li's life, but by chance, they met once in the elevator. We don't know how many such people we will meet in our lifetime, and only a very few of them can relate to our lives. Yuan Li thought that in fact, the thin man was quite pitiful, and she shouldn't have made fun of him so blatantly.

But Yuan Li thought, she has already made fun of him, just make fun of him, what does it matter?

Yuan Li thought about it for a while, and then she was a little angry at her abnormal behavior today. How can you get home so early and pass the long boredom of the night?

Yuan Li found some food in the kitchen, a few slices of bread that had been sitting for three days, and a bottle of salad. She spread the salad on the bread slices, cut a plate of "Yurun" brand sausages, and prepared to settle the dinner so simply.

The bread slices were tasteless, and Yuan Li threw them all into the trash after eating half of them. Eat less for dinner and not gain weight, she comforted herself.

At this time, the clock on the wall just pointed to half past seven, Yuan Li looked at the clock, and there was a miserable expression on her face. It's really evil today, and I actually came back so early. She imagined that a few friends must be gathering in a hotel at this moment, and her heart was a little nervous.

At about eight o'clock that night, Yuan Li couldn't stay any longer, so she called a person named Xiao An. Xiao An's father is a contract foreman, born five big and three thick, but this Xiao An has clear eyebrows, and graduated from a famous university, with a gentle demeanor, which is favored by many girls.

Xiao An was singing with a group of people in "Thousands of Purples and Thousands of Reds", and the voice on the phone was very noisy, and Yuan Li only heard Xiao An ask her to come over. She wanted to ask which private room they were in, but Xiao An on the other end had already hung up the phone.

When Yuan Li went out, she thought, I don't know which private room has anything to do with it, there is no waiter who doesn't recognize Xiao An. But thinking about it this way, she was still a little sad, Xiao An hung up the phone too quickly.

When you go out to take a taxi, go straight to Fenglin Road under the Defeng Bridge. The air conditioner was turned on in the taxi, and Yuan Li felt that the cold wind was circling around her somewhere, so she subconsciously hugged her arms. Her arms had become cold in a short period of time.

The strange feeling came back to life, as if some part of the body had been hollowed out, and all the internal organs were suspended in the body. And, subconsciously, she seemed to be eager to do something, but that thing was so vague that she couldn't think of it even if she wanted to break her head.

The car stopped at the intersection, Yuan Li's eyes inadvertently drifted out of the window, only to see that the car that was sitting next to her also stopped, and a lean shadow appeared in the window.

Her eyes widened in an instant, and a look of horror appeared on her face.

It was the lean man, and she was sure that what she saw at this moment was the man in black who she had seen in the elevator at noon. But when she pressed her head to the windowpane to see more clearly, it was dark in the window of the car next to her, and there was no one at all.

This is a basic common sense, there are no lights on in the car on the side, and the light from the street lights outside the car falls on the window pane, which will only reflect the outside scenery on the glass, and you can't see what is inside the dark window. But Yuan Li firmly believed that she really saw a lean man at that moment.

The lean man, although he had only met once at noon, had already been deeply imprinted in Yuan Li's mind. Yuan Li immediately looked around in the car, there were many pedestrians on both sides of the car, but there was no thin man in black who she was looking for.

Yuan Li didn't know whether she should be happy or disappointed at this time.

The car continued to move forward, and Yuan Li turned around and peeked out of the rear window. At that moment just now, her hands and feet became cold, and some extremely subtle force expanded and spread rapidly from a certain part of her body, occupying her entire body at once. At this moment, when the car left the intersection, her body was still slightly stiff, and she only felt a layer of sweat on her body, and she felt extremely tired.

She gasped heavily, and then remembered that the feeling just now was called fear.

What was she afraid of, even if she really met the lean man in black just now, it was just another coincidence of the day, and the result would only be the same as noon, passing by again. The man in black will not appear in her life, and will not have any effect on her.

But she was still afraid, as if there was some kind of evil power condensed in the man in black.

Yuan Li opened the window of the car, and the air conditioning in the car would deepen the fear in her heart. The warm wind blew in, and it quickly dried the slight sweat on her body. The warm wind made her feel more at ease, and the familiar sights of the noisy voices on the sidewalks outside, the dazzling neon lights and brightly lit shops all became intimate at this moment.

Why do you still think about that thin man, Xiao An was waiting for her in the "Thousands of Purples and Thousands of Reds" not far ahead, and she could now imagine how the music was deafening in the dimly lit private room, and how the beer was stirred from the bottle to the goblet, and then passed in one hand. The gentle Xiao An is circling among the beauties, always maintaining his modest smile, his dancing posture is light, and the hand on the girl's waist will always vibrate gently with the music, making those waists itch until the heart.

Yuan Li smiled, and those fears of Shicai dissipated a lot from her heart.

Most of the waiters in "Thousands of Purples and Thousands of Reds" knew Xiao An, Yuan Li only said Xiao An's name, and a little boy wearing a horse jacket led her to the door of a private room. Yuan Li pushed the door in and saw that it was full of people she didn't know.

"Xiao An is not here, you are Yuan Li, he asked you to come and wait for a while." A pretty little girl said.

Yuan Li didn't ask where Xiao An went, firstly, it was normal for Xiao An to rush to a few venues in one night, and secondly, as Yuan Li, she had no right to ask about Xiao An at all. Since Xiao An let him wait, then wait, anyway, she has already come out, and she has nowhere else to go.

Xiao An didn't come back until the end of the night. Yuan Li was not familiar with the others, so she could only sit quietly in the corner. By twelve o'clock she was drowsy, and the sound of the loud music had become a natural sound to her, and though it was still deafening, it was far away from her. Later, when one of Xiao An's attendants patted her on the shoulder and said that she was going back, she looked at her watch and suddenly realized that so much time had passed. She wondered if I had fallen asleep just now, and she admired herself for being able to fall asleep in such an environment.

Xiao An didn't come back and it didn't matter much at this time, anyway, she had already passed the night. But when she left "Thousands of Purples and Thousands of Reds", she was still faintly disappointed in her heart. But she doesn't want to think about the disappointment, and she needs some mental strength to live her life firmly.

At the entrance of "Thousands of Purples and Thousands of Reds", there are only a few taxis left, and Yuan Li has the impression that there should be a long queue of taxis here every night. But it didn't matter much, after a group of them came out, they were divided into several groups, and Yuan Li just happened to be able to get a car. After she got into the car, she didn't say goodbye to the others, and directly told the driver the address, the driver turned around, and the car galloped onto the road.

It was already so late, and the temperature was not high, but the driver turned on the air conditioner in the car, and Yuan Li got goosebumps when she came in. She looked at the driver, who was a fat man with a rough edge, his shirt buttoned down only the bottom one, revealing a bulging white belly. The fat driver also had a towel hanging from his neck, wiping his sweat while driving. Yuan Li thought, it's not easy to be a fat man.

Yuan Li gave up the plan to let the fat driver turn on the air conditioner, although she felt a little cold, but sitting next to the fat driver, she subconsciously felt a sense of security. She knew that she thought of the lean man in black again, so she was very angry with herself. What's going on today, I'm somehow worried about someone I've only seen once.

So, she decided to stay a little back and go home, take a shower, go to bed immediately, sleep until dawn, and forget about the lean man in black completely tomorrow.

But going home is not a simple matter, when the car reaches the middle of Hailian Road, because there are no cars on the road, so it is fast. Suddenly, the car rushed towards the roadbed on one side, and Yuan Li in the car could see the sparks rubbing out of the left side of the car at that moment, and at that moment, the tire made a loud noise, obviously a flat tire. The car lost control and slid forward for dozens of meters before it could stop. Yuan Li and the driver in the car were knocked to pieces, the fat driver was better, strong, and sturdy, but Yuan Li was miserable, and her head hit the glass in front of her, and she hit it twice in a row. She didn't need to look at it, she knew in her heart that there would definitely be a green piece on her head tomorrow, and she would be able to get a bag if she didn't get it.

The car stopped, Yuan Li and the fat driver didn't move for a long time, and after relieving themselves, Yuan Li began to blame the fat driver one after another, asking him how the car was driven. The fat driver looked aggrieved and said that he knew that there would be a big rock on the flat road?

The stone that caused the trouble had been torn apart by the car, and there was no way to investigate how such a stone could appear on the road.

Yuan Li and the fat driver can only admit that they are unlucky. The fat driver was even more frustrated than Yuan Li, because the car suffered serious losses, not only the tires burst, the exhaust pipe fell off, and even the chassis was seriously deformed. The fat driver, with a sad face, stood by the car and cursed the person who threw the stone on the road with a curse in his mouth. Yuan Li knew that the fat driver was the biggest victim, and the complaint she had just complained about him was just a subconscious move, but now that she calmed down, she paid for the car, left the fat driver and left by herself.

It was not far from where Yuan Li lived, it took less than ten minutes to walk, and there was a wide road all the way, Yuan Li walked on the sidewalk on the side of the street, unaware of what was about to happen. At that moment, she only felt that the air had become so stuffy, and the clouds in the sky had become thicker and thicker, and behind the clouds, there was a faint blue light that was about to burst out, so that the clouds became as if they were transparent. It was a strange sight, Yuan Li had been in the city for three or four years, and it was the first time she had seen such clouds.

What a strange day, Yuan Li sighed in her heart and quickened her pace.

There are still some people on the street late at night, they are far away from Yuan Li, but Yuan Li can still vaguely see that they are outsiders carrying bags, shirtless drunk street teenagers, and dust girls with heavy makeup and extremely bewitching. They were active in Yuan Li's sight, but they kept a long enough distance, which made Yuan Li feel steady. And because it was close to the residence, the idea of taking a shower and sleeping was immediately realized, so Yuan Li's mind at this time became very simple, she didn't expect the next series of changes.

A rat more than a foot long sprang out from under her feet and scurried across the road. Yuan Li screamed in fright, goosebumps suddenly appeared on her body, and the gray mouse seemed to turn its head when it fled, and green light burst out from its small eyes, like throwing a string of extremely disgusting things into Yuan Li's heart. Yuan Li stopped and was nauseated, and her heart was still beating violently.

Then the whole street shook so suddenly, without even the slightest warning. Yuan Li's subconscious reaction was to squat down and wrap her arms around. She lacks the minimum ability to adapt to this sudden change, but the nature of a woman lets her know that she must protect herself first, and the way to protect herself is to squat down and curl herself up as much as possible.

The shaking of the street disappeared as quickly as it came, and Yuan Li squatted quietly on the ground, thinking of the news that the earthquake was going to spread everywhere in the city recently, and thought that the earthquake was really coming. The thought frightened her, and in addition to her fear, she thought that she still had a bank passbook at home, and some of the things she loved, and it would hurt her heart to lose them because of the earthquake.

At this moment, another strange thing suddenly struck, a feeling that she regretted more than the loss of her possessions, and a deep fear. She didn't know what was happening, but for a moment, she felt the presence of fear, and her body tightened in an instant. She didn't dare to look, she didn't dare to move, as if she was squatting alone on a cliff that was about to fall, and any move could put her in a situation from which she could never recover.

Next, some cold winds blew slowly, and they were thin, only gently on her neck. And that little coolness gradually became cold and biting, as if some power was sneaking into her body. Her whole body quickly became icy cold.

- Don't come home late at night!

She heard a low, hoarse voice say in the back of her neck.

She suddenly turned around and saw a face that was a little sad and pale, a face that seemed familiar, and she must have seen it somewhere. Then, she saw a black dress and a body as thin as a bamboo pole.

- Don't go home late at night.

The lean man in black repeated. Some scorching power erupted in Yuan Li's mind, which was a manifestation of losing her mind after being terrified to the extreme. The scorching power then spread throughout her body, and she opened her mouth to scream in order to give it a cathartic outlet. But the lean man in black covered her mouth with one hand.

A lean man, but with arms as hard as a stone.

Her lips touched a hint of shade, which was contained in a soft texture. It's a strange feeling, how can coolness and softness be associated with this lean man?

She was no longer able to explore the mystery in her heart, and she only felt that the whole world was trembling and shaking, and then, the darkness of the sky was pressed down, and she was soon engulfed.
