Chapter 1: The Shadow of the Streetlights
"I awoke from the void,
I coexist with the true realm,
I have attained Bodhi in Senluo,
He also seized power in the Dragon's Nest......"
The low chant echoed in the dream.
The dream was foggy, black, red, gold, and cyan were mixed together, like variegated colors floating up and down in glass.
……
"Whew." Bai Yaming sat up from the bed and gasped, sweat wet his hair, strands stuck to his forehead, he took out the paper in the carton next to the bed and wiped his sweat: "Damn, it's this dream again." ”
This dream, he had been dreaming about for almost months, and even he went to the doctor himself, and the doctor told him that it was just nervous fatigue, in fact, this is not a strange thing for every high school student, even though he is a freshman in high school.
He was soaked in cold sweat and sticky, it was winter, the electric heater was on in the house, and the mild air was not too high, but he still felt a trace of heat.
He didn't turn on the lights, just opened the curtains and opened some windows a little to let in the cold air outside. Outside, the snow is falling one after another, and the snow surface has accumulated more than half of the calves, and the white snow is fluorescent under the bright white street lamps.
Suddenly, through the gap, I saw a black-robed figure standing under the street lamp in the middle of the road outside the door, and the shadow was elongated.
His pupils shrank, and the laziness around his body narrowed.
didn't make much movement, just silently re-closed the curtains, touched the black-framed glasses next to the pillow, put them on, opened the mobile phone in the dark and warm room, and dialed 110.
Strive to adjust the brightness of the mobile phone, adjust the brightness to the minimum, and the dial interface "110" is particularly conspicuous.
"Hello, this is the Luoluan Police Station, is there something wrong?"
"Hey, it's like this, there's a guy standing there outside my door, I'm scared." Bai Yaming's voice was steady and indifferent, without the slightest fluctuation, and there was no fear at all.
"Don't panic, maybe it's a passerby passing by." The policeman on the phone comforted him.
"I peeked at him for half an hour, and he didn't move, just stood there."
"......" There was silence on the phone for a while, how idle this person was, he actually stared at the other party for half an hour.
"Then you wait, we'll be there shortly." Said the policeman.
"Well, my house is No. 13 Liufeng Road."
……
Bai Yaming shook his windbreaker lightly and re-hit 110.
"Hello."
"I'm sorry, but the car doesn't have snow chains yet, and I'm planning to leave now."
"Toot toot." Bai Yaming hung up the phone.
After waiting for five minutes, Bai Yaming dialed again: "I just called that person into the house, I was holding a hammer in my hand at that time, and now his skull is sunken in, blood has flowed all over the room, the smell is permeated, but it smells bad, come on, I'm afraid he will die." ”
……
Ten minutes later, the jagged sound of sirens came from a distance.
Bai Yaming looked through the gap and watched the black-robed man flow into the shadow of the street lamp like flowing water, Bai Yaming's face suddenly turned blue: "What is that...... What is it? Supernatural powers? Does this have anything to do with my dreams? ”
Three police cars whizzed in from a distance and came to a steady stop in front of his house.
Eight or nine policemen got out of the car, Tuan Tuan blocked the door, Bai Yaming looked at the red and blue flashes outside, knew that it was the police, put on Martin boots, walked out of the bedroom, opened the staircase door, and several policemen broke in: "Don't move, raise your hands." ”
Bai Yaming raised his hand.
The police looked around and there was no trace of blood.
"You're calling the police falsely?" The policemen's faces were not good, in fact, as soon as the policemen came, they knew that there was not a single footprint outside, and if someone came in, there would definitely be a row of footprints on the snow.
"No, there was someone outside, but they didn't come in."
"Where are the people?"
"Gone."
"Gone?" The policeman's face became more and more unkind.
"What about the footprints?"
"Follow me."
Bai Yaming led the police out.
A group of people walked out of them in a mighty way.
Under the street lamp, a pair of footprints are lonely in place, making people shudder, I don't know where they come from, I don't know where they go, they suddenly appear in the same place, and suddenly disappear.
"What's going on?" Bai Yaming turned his head and asked the police.
"This ......," the policemen were momentarily speechless.
Looking at the dim scene around me, I was a little scared.
"Don't panic yet, let's check the monitoring." A police officer who looked like a team leader said.
"I have a computer in my house and a monitor outside." Bai Yaming spoke.
"Why don't you sit in my room?"
The look of intent on the policeman's face was revealed.
"Team Wang ......," a policeman said to the foreman man.
Looking at the people with stiff faces who were frozen, the man sighed: "That little brother, I'm sorry to disturb you." ”
"It's nothing, I'm still bothering you, letting you run away in the middle of the night, and lying to you, I'm pretty embarrassed." Bai Yaming smiled gently.
……
When I entered the house, suddenly, the voice-activated light in the corridor turned on.
"Squeak-" In the corridor, Bai Yaming's opposite door opened, and a young man, holding his thick pajamas, poked his head out: "Yo, the boss is not sleeping yet, this is ...... What's going on with Comrade Police? ”
"It's okay." Bai Yaming pulled out a smile, "I don't know who called the police and said that my room was forcibly broken into and my life was hanging by a thread." ”
The young man shrugged, nodded, and turned back.
Bai Yaming turned his head to see that the young man's dim room was very neat, there was a pot of extinguished coals on the ground, there was no damage in the room, the ground was clean, and the quilts on the bed were neatly stacked.
In the warm room, a few policemen sat in the room, with a few cups of hot tea and a few plates of snacks in front of them, and the team leader and Bai Yaming were debugging the computer monitoring on the computer.
"Little brother, do you live alone? What about parents? Team Wang asked Bai Yaming.
"It's all gone, my mother died in childbirth when she gave birth to me, and my father died in a car accident three years ago." Bai Yaming stared at the screen, looking for the monitoring time point with both hands.
There was silence.
"I'm sorry......"
"It's okay, I don't mind anymore."
"No relatives?"
"Yes, there are a lot of them on my father's side, let me go where they live, I won't go, and someone from my mother's side will also come to take me away, but I won't go."
"Where did you go to school?"
"Me? It was on the first high school in Luanzhou, and now it is one high school. ”
Several policemen looked pale and respectful, knowing that it was not easy, Luanzhou No. 1 High School, Provincial Key High School.
"Tsk, the little brother is amazing......" Team Wang praised, wanted to say something, but felt that it was not good to say that other people's parents died, so he closed his mouth again, thinking of his own little rabbit cub, he couldn't help but itch his teeth, and felt that he should take out the seven wolves that he hadn't used for a long time.
"What's the deal with the tenant calling you boss?"
"In order to subsidize the family, I applied to open a homestay, two or three hundred a week, to subsidize the family."
In fact, he was in school for a week, the cost was not large, and his father also left him an inheritance of nearly 700,000 yuan, and a three-and-a-half-story villa small western-style building, 700,000 yuan has not been moved, the house is basically only back on Sunday afternoon, if someone rents, you can rent it for a week, and now during the winter vacation, you can stay at home.
Bai Yaming pointed to the screen: "Okay." ”
Several people surrounded the computer and looked at the screen.
Outside the dim house, the snowflakes are blowing in the wind, and there is no human figure in the place of the footprints in the surveillance, only a pair of footprints, no shadows, but the snowflakes don't seem to float into the footprints, as if there is a transparent person standing there to block the wind and snow.
"This ......," Bai Yaming said.
"This ......" The police were also speechless, the footprints were sturdy, clean, and there was no trace of water stains in them, indicating that it was not sprinkled with salt or some special chemicals to melt the snow.
"There is no shadow !! either" Bai Yaming's pupils constricted, impossible, he clearly saw an elongated shadow.
"Xiaohui, go and see if there is snow in the footprints now." The royal team said to a police officer.
"Okay."
The policeman came back at a short time, holding his mobile phone in his hand, and his face was frightened: "Look at Team Wang." ”
In the photo taken by the mobile phone, there is a thin layer of snow among the footprints.
"This ......"
There were definitely people before ...... Or something standing there!
Team Wang rubbed his head in distress: "Forget it, let's go first...... Let's check the monitoring again, as for you, little brother, it doesn't matter, just treat it as if the police situation has not been clarified, and solve it on the spot. ”
"Okay."
……
"Officers, go slowly"
Bai Yaming returned to the bedroom, sat next to the computer, and frowned: "I always feel like I forgot something......
"Wait!"
Bai Yaming sat up suddenly: "Quilt, the quilt of the new tenant is folded, how can the quilt be folded late at night?" Not to mention that the charcoal burning has been extinguished! ”
……
In another room, the young man leaned against the door, his eyes twinkling: "The Shadow Messenger seems to have been discovered......"
Immediately raised his wrist, a red background five-pointed Venus dragon pattern bracelet was revealed, a light screen appeared in front of him, and he dialed a phone call: "Dudu Dudu......"
