He Xin, a twenty-six-year-old professional woman, is far from being as strong and capable as she seems, and the pressure at work cannot be vented, and she is tired and out of breath after all.

But while tired, she developed a habit.

That's every day after work, she would go to the corner bar to sit down, not for drinking, just to listen to the song that would make her forget her stress for a while.

The owner of the song is named Mu Bai, a resident singer in the bar, who only performs for about half an hour every night, singing soothing folk songs.

There was a magic in his voice, which always made He Xin calm down and listen silently, and every time she did this, she would not come back to her senses until the half-hour performance was over.

Mu Bai is not a handsome guy in the traditional sense, but more because of the gloomy temperament he exudes, as well as the vicissitudes of life in his singing.

He Xin has appeared in this bar since last month, and the arrival of every night has made her a frequent customer here, and she has gradually developed a special sense of dependence on Mu Bai, and gradually, Mu Bai has become more curious about this woman who will appear in the bar every night.

One day, He Xin came to the bar as usual.

Sitting in front of the bar, she fixed her gaze on Mu Bai's body.

However, the latter cast his eyes on her while singing.

Is he looking at me?

He Xin was a little puzzled.

Then, Mu Bai smiled, and He Xin could clearly feel that he was smiling at himself.

Just when the two pairs of eyes met each other, Mu Bai began to sing, the song is called "The Time of Meeting", which is about what happened when a pair of lovers first met, in short, it is a lyrical and romantic song.

Being stared at by him uncomfortably for a while, He Xin finally retracted his gaze.

She drank the remaining wine in the cup, and then propped her chin and put all the bad things behind her for the time being, He Xin forgot to quietly enjoy Mu Bai's beautiful singing.

Half an hour later, she left the bar contentedly, but she didn't pay attention to the sight of Mu Bai lingering on the stage.

……

When he opened the door, He Xin called his father, but no one responded.

She took off her shoes and hemmed them together, only to find that there was a pair of shoes missing from the original shoe rack.

Missing was her father's cloth shoes—an old-fashioned pair of black cloth shoes. I remember that He Xin bought him leather shoes at that time, but he still liked cloth shoes, so he kept wearing them.

An uneasy emotion came to her heart, He Xin hurriedly ran to her father's room to check, he was really not there, she was really not at ease, she looked at the whole house inside and out, but she still didn't see her father.

At this point, he won't go out on weekdays, but where will he go today?

He Xin really didn't have a clue, and while thinking about where he would go when he went out, he took out his mobile phone and dialed his father's number.

However, the bell rang out of the room.

He didn't have a cell phone!

He Xin was even more anxious, she hurriedly put on her shoes, turned her head and rushed out of the house.

To say that a healthy old man should not have to be so panicked when he goes out, but He Xin's father can't.

Just because a month ago, she discovered the fact that her father was gradually forgetful.

He began to forget to bring his keys to go out, forgot to put condiments when cooking, forgot the way home, and even sometimes forgot He Xin's name......

Who are you? It had already pierced He Xin's heart.

Earlier, she took her father to the hospital, and the doctor said it was an early symptom of Alzheimer's disease.

But He Xin didn't understand that in just one month, the scope of his father's forgetting seemed to be getting bigger and faster, which seemed to be contrary to the slow nature of the disease.

She began to wonder what would happen if her father had completely forgotten who he was.

The wind at night is always sharp, blowing your face painfully.

He Xin's constant search but still found nothing, she was like a gravel in this huge world, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't find another gravel.

She sat on the side of the road, helplessly staring at the crowd in front of her, imagining that her father would be the next one to appear.

Perhaps, what about my father's home?

He Xin suddenly had this thought, she cheered up again, got up and was about to go back, but she didn't pay attention to the person who came, and collided with a couple passing by.

Still holding a trace of luck in his heart, He Xin apologized to the two and took out his mobile phone again, pointed to the photo on the mobile phone and asked, "Excuse me, have you seen this old man?" He's my father, and I can't find him now. ”

"Didn't you just ask us for directions?" The girl in the couple spoke.

She has black hair, but her delicate face flashes with a pair of rare amber eyes, sharp and sharp.

It's high green bamboo.

And beside him, it was naturally Xu Nanxing.

"You've seen it?" He Xin looked surprised, "Where is it?" ”

"At the back intersection, he said he couldn't remember the way back, and we came after pointing the way." Xu Nanxing stretched out his hand and pointed to the intersection not far behind him, where the street lights were dim and he couldn't see the whole picture.

"Thank you!" He Xin thanked him and hurriedly ran over.

Xu Nanxing and Gao Qingzhu glanced at each other, and also followed to take a look.

But when I arrived at the intersection, there was no old man, and I didn't even see a ghost.

He Xin was desperate again, she just wanted to go home quickly and see if her father was already waiting for her return at home.

Just as she was about to leave, Xu Nanxing stopped her.

"Wait."

He Xin stopped and looked back at him suspiciously.

Xu Nanxing frowned: "You have the smell of monsters." ”

He Xin thought that his brain was abnormal, and he turned around to leave, but was pulled by Gao Qingzhu again: "He didn't lie to you." ”

"You two are sick, aren't you?" He Xin shook off Gao Qingzhu and grabbed his hand tightly.

"We can help find your father, but instead, you have to let me dispose of the monster inside you."

Xu Nanxing's face was serious, Gao Qingzhu rarely saw him like this, Xu is monster in her body was a little tricky, so Xu Nanxing showed this expression.

But He Xin is just an ordinary human being, she doesn't know and doesn't know anything about monsters, of course, she naturally won't believe it, so it's normal to show that kind of attitude.

Just when she was in a hurry to leave, Xu Nanxing stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers in her ear, and she couldn't move.

"You, what did you do? Let go of me! He Xin struggled desperately, and then realized that what Xu Nanxing said was true.

It turned out that Xu Nanxing had recovered his demonic power in the past few days, and Gao Qingzhu pulled the corners of his clothes when he saw this, telling him not to go too far and not to scare the other party.

Xu Nanxing nodded and asked, "Have you been in contact with any suspicious people recently?" ”

"Nope." He Xin's tone was angry, "You let me go first, I still have to go to my father!" ”

"Anyway, I'll help you find it."

After that, Xu Nanxing took out a piece of yellow paper from his pocket, and Gao Qingzhu could see at a glance that it was a search order, but after a closer look, he felt a slight difference.

"What is this?" Gao Qingzhu asked.

I saw Xu Nanxing smile: "I just got the upgraded version of the search order from Su Mu, and now I can even find the designated person." ”

Gao Qingzhu: "Don't you think it's a waste now?" ”

Xu Nanxing pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled helplessly: "No way, this time it's a big monster." ”

Seeing the two of them saying something incomprehensible, He Xin was even more annoyed: "You guys let go of me!" If you don't let me go, I'll call someone. ”

"Eh, don't worry." Xu Nanxing saw the search order that flew back and swayed in front of him a few times, "The person has found it, it's around here, so let's do it first, as a reward for finding your father, you have to let us follow you for a day." ”

"Huh?" He Xin looked puzzled.

……

When I got home, it was already more than ten o'clock at night, and my lost father slept peacefully, so He Xin came out of the room with peace of mind.

There was only one lamp in the living room, and in order not to disturb his father's rest, the three of them kept their voices low.

"Thank you for helping me find my father, I had a bad attitude just now, I'm really sorry."

Seeing that her attitude had eased a lot, Xu Nanxing also said bluntly: "Your father was swallowed by a demon beast called Memory, and it is not the so-called Alzheimer's disease at all. ”

"Food memories? Can that be cured? He Xin was a little excited.

"The disappeared memories can't come back, but as long as you make sure that the rest of his memories are no longer eaten by the eating memories, take your time, and he will return to normal." Xu Nanxing explained, "I just saw that there is no trace of the Memory Eater in your father's body, but you are full of demonic energy, so you have to let us follow you all the time, so that we can know what you have been exposed to recently." ”

"This is no problem, but it will be ...... all the time" It can be seen that He Xin is a little embarrassed.

Also, Xu Nanxing is a man after all, and it is indeed a bit perverted to follow a woman all day long.

"So I said yes, it's us." As he spoke, he rubbed Gao Qingzhu on the side and asked her to say something too.

So I heard Gao Qingzhu echo him and respond: "Well, yes." ”

Regarding the monsters mentioned in Xu Nanxing's mouth, He Xin always had a sense of unreality, after all, she had never been in contact with it, and she still felt that Xu Nanxing looked a little bluffing.

But now that her father has been found, she still has to thank the two, but at the same time, she is also a little more wary of the two of them.

You must know that the heart of guarding against people is indispensable, and there are still two people in front of you who don't know each other.

It was late at night, and He Xin felt that it was better to agree to their request first, but whether to let them follow him when he went out tomorrow was another matter.

"That-" Xu Nanxing deliberately dragged out his voice, waiting for He Xin's answer.

He Xin understood: "Oh, then it's decided, tomorrow morning I will go out at seven o'clock, you can wait for me at the door when you arrive, don't be too early, I may usually be later." ”

After the two sides determined the time, Xu Nanxing and Gao Qingzhu didn't bother anymore.

When the two of them went out of the door and got on the elevator, Xu Nanxing's expression changed slightly, and he said to Gao Qingzhu: "I will ask Su Mu for leave tomorrow, and we will come over half an hour early." ”

"Are you afraid she'll go first?" Gao Qingzhu saw his doubts.

Xu Nanxing nodded and said: "Yes, the second half of what she just said is a bit redundant, if she really talks about the time, she will wait for the other party no matter what, I don't think she trusts us at all." ”

"It's only been one meeting, and it's normal not to believe in us." As he spoke, Gao Qingzhu pressed the floor button with the number one.

Xu Nanxing: "Shi Yi is not an easy guy to deal with, while my demon power recovers this time, I must not let it go, even if He Xin doesn't want to trust us, we have to follow her to find Shi Yi." ”

"And what kind of monster is it? Just cannibalistic memories? Gao Qingzhu became curious.

Xu Nanxing sighed and explained: "It's not only capable of eating people's memories, but if it gets out of control, it will also swallow people's souls, and it is a monster with an uncertain temper." ”
