Gao Cheng gently exited the bedroom and sat down on the sofa in the living room. The chandelier in the living room gave off a gentle glow. Gao Cheng stared at the shadows behind the light, which were growing rapidly like some kind of reproducing creature.

Many times, sitting in an empty room, Gao Cheng always feels that the shadows behind those lights are like sins that cannot be seen in the city. They lurk in the icy darkness, waiting for an opportunity to devour the entire city, leaving everyone sunk in its body.

In the middle of the living room hangs an enlarged photo of Chen Ruogu. Chen Ruogu above stood in a snowfield, wearing a white tight-fitting jacket, with a rabbit-gray fur edge at the neckline and hem, and long hair hanging down on the white clothes, with distinct colors. She held a plum blossom in her hand and looked sadly ahead.

People like to compare girls to flowers, and perhaps only in front of flowers will the beauty of girls be revealed. Gao Cheng discovered for the first time that Chen Ruogu was so beautiful.

Although Gao Cheng has been filled with police and guards throughout the Meihe community, the methods of the "Grim Reaper" made him feel an inexplicable sense of panic. Hopefully, nothing will happen.

Chen Ruogu looked at himself in the mirror. Her long hair is softly draped over her shoulders, subtly setting off her melon seed face, which is narrow and graceful. The skin is fair, almost somewhat transparent, and the eyes are shining brightly. After a long time, she sighed and buried her head between her arms.

Gao Cheng said: "No matter what, I will use my life to protect you." ”

This sentence moved Chen Ruogu inexplicably. What a happy thing it is for a man to protect a woman with his life. Chen Ruogu felt that he should be happy, not worried.

Little by little, time passed. Chen Ruogu raised her head, and there was still a line of tears in the corners of her eyes. She pulled open a drawer next to the table, which contained a black plastic bag.

A long time ago, Chen Ruogu loved a boy. The boy was a waiter at a video store, he had long hair and a bangs in front that always covered his left eye. He was always used to stand on the right side of the counter, looking plaintively ahead.

Many times, Chen Ruogu stood by and secretly looked at the boy. She has headphones in her ear, and in them plays an old song "Crazy for Love". That is the memory that Chen Ruogu has always cherished in his youth. The boy with a faint sadness was like a beautiful diary, which she gently turned up every midnight.

When she graduated, Chen Ruogu plucked up the courage to tell the boy, but when she came to the video store, the boss told her that the boy had left.

That was the first time Chen Ruogu had a crush on a boy, and he didn't even know the boy's name. Perhaps, she was just an insignificant passer-by in that boy's world. But the boy was once her whole world.

That afternoon, she walked far, far along the street, and she was afraid that tears would fall as soon as she stopped. Later, when passing through an old alley, she met an old man who set up a stall to tell fortunes. The old man shook the holder and asked her to pick one, and she hesitated for a moment before pulling out one of them.

Chen Ruogu had forgotten the specific content of the sign, but she had always remembered the old man's explanation.

"Girl, your love line is very weak, maybe one day you want to fight for it, but he left."

Now that I think about it, the old man's words are just ambiguous. Just like now, even if you want to fight for it, you can't do it.

Chen Ruogu slowly picked up the black plastic bag, raised his head and looked at the clock on the wall steadily, walking towards nine o'clock little by little......

Gao Cheng lit another cigarette, and the thick smoke stimulated his nerves. Now, he felt as if he had lost his ability to judge. From the case of "Death" to the first time it appeared in Nancheng, it seems that every time he is led by the nose of the other party. Every time he finds a clue that he thinks is useful, the "Grim Reaper" will confirm to him in various ways that the clue he has found is nothing more than the other party's ecstasy.

What method did the "prophet" use to make Xiao Min rather commit suicide than reveal his identity? Hypnosis, not like. Threats, even more not. Xiao Min's appearance was completely voluntary, and she was very conscious at that time, and she didn't look like a mental patient.

To be able to get an old man who has not asked about the world for more than 40 years to come out and mess up the case, the means of the "prophet" are really hard to touch. Could it be that Xiao Min is also like Cheng Zihao, what ulterior secrets have been pinched in the hands of the "prophet"?

Thinking of this, Gao Cheng held his breath. If the secret that can make Xiao Min scruple may only be the archaeological incident forty years ago, could it be that the "prophet" knows the truth about the archaeological event?

Boom! Suddenly, there was a slight sound in the bedroom. Gao Cheng was startled, hurriedly stood up and rushed in.

Pushing open the door, he saw the "Grim Reaper" standing by the bed, looking at him with a grim gaze. In the bedroom, Chen Ruogu was gone. Gao Cheng stared at the "Grim Reaper" in front of him, but his mind was quickly looking for an answer. The entire Meihe community has been surrounded by the police, including the entire rooftop, there are also their own people monitoring, so how did the "Grim Reaper" enter the bedroom?

Could it be that Gao Cheng suddenly thought of an answer.

Sure enough, just as the other party also knew what he was thinking, the "Grim Reaper" on the opposite side slowly took off the mask on his face, revealing a delicate face. She is Chen Ruogu.

Gao Cheng's heart felt like someone had been hit hard with a hammer, buzzing.

Dangdang, the pendulum on the wall suddenly rang at this time, at nine o'clock in the evening. It's time.

"Death" is right, she appeared at Chen Ruogu's house in the Meihe community on time at nine o'clock. This result is something that Gao Cheng can't even think of.

Chen Ruogu sat on the bed, she smiled pale and weak, and there was no trace of blood on her face.

The whole story is also slowly coming towards Gao Cheng.

When she was ten years old, Chen Ruogu's father was taken away by the police for manslaughter, and her world went dark ever since. Everyone treated her murderer's daughter with white eyes and mockery. Her mother finally couldn't stand the heavy pressure and hanged herself one night.

Chen Ruogu's childhood was barren because of his father's sins.

In high school, she left the classroom in anger because she was suspected of stealing money. On a rainy night, she fainted in the mountains and forests behind the school. When she woke up, she found herself being taken to a cave.

There, she met an old man......

All the stories poured out.

The night outside the window was already dark, and Chen Ruogu couldn't cry anymore after telling all the stories.

Now, Gao Cheng can be sure that the mask that Chen Ruogu said should be the cursed mask that Professor Chu Ling said, and that old man should also be a member of the archaeological team back then.

It's just that Gao Cheng couldn't believe that the "Grim Reaper" he was looking for could be Chen Ruogu, of course, she was just a pawn used by the "prophet".

Chen Ruogu was still lying on the table twitching his shoulders, but he had stopped crying.

The atmosphere in the room was suddenly deadly. Gao Cheng didn't know what to say, he wanted to comfort but couldn't find a reason to comfort. Time passed minute by minute, and Chen Ruogu still didn't straighten up.

A thought suddenly flashed in Gao Cheng's mind, he hurriedly stepped forward and patted Chen Ruogu, Chen Ruogu's body softened and fell to the ground. She had a sharp knife stuck in her heart, and the blood had already stained the hilt red.

Gao Cheng hurriedly picked up Chen Ruogu and rushed out of the door like crazy......

The lights in the emergency room went out.

Gao Cheng, who was standing next to him, put out the cigarette and hurriedly greeted him. Dr. Lin took off his mask, shook his head slightly, and gently patted Gao Cheng's shoulder. Gao Cheng's body went limp, leaned against the wall, and slid down step by step.

He walked slowly inside. Chen Ruogu lay quietly on the hospital bed. At the moment, she is as quiet and beautiful as a sleeping beauty. She spoke out about her sins at the last moments of her life. She doesn't ask for forgiveness from others, and she doesn't want her lover to be sad.

Gao Cheng sat silently on the side, he tightly grasped Chen Ruogu's cold hand. Until the nurse came over and covered it with a white cloth, and then slowly pushed it away from his eyes.

When it came, the door shook back and forth, as if the heart was struggling on the tip of a sad and sad knife. Gao Cheng's ears sounded a clear singing voice, which was a song he heard when his wife died, called "All Things Are Born".

Once upon a time, it was cold in winter and rainy in summer

In autumn, your voice is warm in the distance

You said there was a white snow behind the house

There are golden flags fluttering in the valley in the wind

I saw the eagle flying over the lonely two fish

Two fish cross the river as salty as the sea

A river falls down and meets people and breaks

People walk with the ashes of mountain eagles

Blue sky, gray sky, gray sky, where did dad go, is the moon home

Oh my god when I fell asleep, I woke up when I woke up, I fell asleep when I grew up, I fell asleep when I was running

Red God, I can't see it, will it still be bright, Mommy God

Is it raining, mom oh my god, don't let him stop, mom my god

All things are born, all things are destroyed, but our love has no ** return.
