"Hmm." Little A only nodded in response, but did not turn his head to talk to him. The pace of his feet seemed to increase slightly.

Shen Ran found that since he entered the door, Xiao A had not spoken a word.

Since he didn't say it, Shen Ran didn't ask anymore. Just followed him, walking briskly.

After climbing the stairs and reaching the second floor, Xiao A continued to walk towards the corridor in front of the door.

I don't know if it's an illusion, when I passed the first and second doors in the corridor, Shen Ran seemed to hear a voice coming from inside.

He was about to open his mouth to ask Little A, but Little A stopped at the door of the third door.

He pulled out another key and opened the door to the room.

Is there a locked door in the room?

As soon as he entered the door, Xiao A squatted down, he seemed to be looking for something on the ground, and soon, he saw a piece of paper, he quickly clutched the piece of paper in his hand, and then stood up again, as if nothing had happened, and walked into the room.

After Shen Ran also entered the room, he closed the door and locked it.

At this time, Xiao A took off the schoolbag on his back and put it on the bed.

The room is not big, about ten or twenty square meters, the room is simply furnished, with a single bed, a desk, and a small cabinet.

As soon as he put down his school bag, he immediately took out the note in his hand and looked at it.

There were no lamps in the room, so he could only walk to the window and rely on the faint moonlight outside the window to make out the handwriting with great difficulty.

"I have a cell phone, I'll help you light it." Shen Ran put the phone in front of Xiao A.

"Thank you." Xiao A raised his eyes slightly and glanced at Shen Ran, but unfortunately the light was dim, and Shen Ran still didn't see his eyebrows clearly, and only received a trace of trust from that momentary gaze.

Shen Ran then walked up to him and looked at the note in his hand together.

"Today as usual. Eat pork ribs and braised chicken feet. ”

？ A big question mark popped up in Shen Ran's heart.

What is this, dinner notice?

Does this need to be written on a piece of paper in advance?

And Xiao A still looks at it so seriously, if you don't know, you think it says some emergency military information.

What Shen Ran didn't expect was that after Xiao A read this note, he immediately took out a lighter from his pocket and burned the paper.

So cautious? Burn after reading?

What level of secrecy does this need to be treated like this?

Xiao A's tense nerves seem to have relaxed a little at this moment.

He sat back on the edge of the bed, took out an unfinished bottle of mineral water from his bag and took a big sip.

Then he turned his head to look at Shen Ran, and said a little embarrassedly: "Do you want to drink?" ”

Shen Ran hadn't taken a sip of water since he came in, and as usual, it should be a matter of course for the host to pour a glass of water for the guests.

But look at it like this...... Forget it.

"It's okay, I'm not thirsty."

Speaking of which, since Little A came home, this seems to be the first time he has relaxed, what is wrong, why is his home so strange?

"Little A, there are some things I don't understand, why don't those classmates seem to pay much attention to you when they are at your house? And you've just come back, and they're already there, and, what's going on with that note, why did you burn it? ”

Shen Ran asked many questions in one breath, he was worried that the situation would change for a while, and Xiao A would not have time to relax like this.

"They have been at my house for many days. Some are classmates, some are acquaintances, and they are coming more and more ......"

"You don't just have the downstairs group of guests in your house?" Shen Ran thought of something and interjected and asked.

Little A nodded, "Well, that's right. There is also the next room...... There are basically no empty rooms on the second floor. ”

"You mean, they all live here?" Shen Ran was surprised, no wonder he heard movement inside when he passed by the first two rooms just now, it turned out that there were other people living in this house, and at this moment, I don't know how many people were under the same roof with them.

It used to be a private residence, but now it is not known who will appear in the corner of the house.

It's weird.

Is it because of this that Little A can't relax?

"Well, I don't know what day it started, I think they wanted to occupy it."

It's a bit like occupying, "Why don't you kick them out?" "In real life, this is a simple matter of logic, but in the human subconscious, there are all kinds of possibilities.

"I can't get rid of it...... This relates to the question I told you about, and there are two kinds of people in this. ”

That's it again.

"What two kinds of people?" You must ask, Shen Ran thought.

At this time, Shen Ran heard the clanging of metal coming from outside the door.

"Ding, Ding, Ding......"

"Let's go, we're going out." Little A immediately stood up.

What's the matter, sure enough, I still haven't finished asking, Shen Ran also followed Xiao A to stand up.

"I'll explain those questions to you later. I think you'll figure it out later. After adding this, Xiao A opened the door and walked through the corridor.

"It's time to eat!"

As soon as he opened the door, Shen Ran heard an aunt's voice calling loudly.

Shen Ran walked to the edge of the corridor and looked down, and sure enough, in the middle of the hall was standing a middle-aged woman wearing an apron, who was holding two large silver spoons and striking each other.

The people who heard the sound gathered on the other side of the hall, presumably where they were eating.

The doors of the other rooms on the second floor were also opened in turn. There are at least twenty or thirty people in the hustle and bustle!

Suddenly there were so many people. Although he had been mentally prepared in advance, Shen Ran still felt incredible and shocked.

"This person is my mother, and you will sit next to me in a moment." The person he was talking about was the middle-aged woman standing in the middle.

With so many people living in the house, my mother had to cook for everyone.

What the hell is going on with this home.

"How can we help him?" Lu Cheng asked.

Xu Guangyuan noticed that Lu Cheng was talking about us, and he subconsciously counted himself in, and he was not ready to sit idly by.

He began to understand a little why Shen Ran chose to directly expose the secret to this policeman.

Since Shen Ran chose Lu Cheng......

"There are several ways. The safest thing is to transfer Shen Ran and the two people opposite to our research institute. He glanced at Lu Cheng, who was half a head taller than him, "Of course, I know it's unlikely for you. At the moment, it seems that his condition is quite stable, and it is possible that he will spend dozens of minutes in peace, wake up on his own, and we don't have to do anything. If you weren't so lucky......"

Xu Guangyuan frowned, "The worst way is to forcibly interrupt him, that might cause confusion on both of them." If you can't move them, and you can't interrupt them, there's only one last option. ”

"What?"

Xu Guangyuan looked at the black box in his hand and said, "Raise the stakes and go in one more person." ”

"Go in again?" Lu Cheng thought about it, Xu Guangyuan's meaning should be to add one more person between Shen Ran and the suspect, so that that person's consciousness can also enter the suspect's consciousness world, so that he can help Shen Ran, wake him up, and help him in times of crisis.

And so on, if you still don't succeed in waking up after adding one more person, I'm afraid you will have to add more "bets" and more reinforcements.

This method does not guarantee success, and may increase the risk, which is indeed a "gamble".

Their experiment doesn't work, it doesn't sound very reliable.

"I'll do it." Lu Cheng scratched the back of his head and said.

The two of them were the only ones in the entire police station who knew about it now, and if they didn't think about letting anyone else take the risk, they were the only two of them.

They had all thought of this just now, but Lu Cheng was one step ahead of him.

"My physical fitness is always stronger than those who have not practiced, can it also come in handy in dreams?"

Shen Ran followed Xiao A and came to the dinner table.

It turned out that on the other side of the living room, where Shen Ran had not seen before, there was an oval dining table.

The area of the dining table is beyond imagination, a total of more than 30 people, one person and one position, in a circle, just enough to sit down.

There are two candles on the table, and there are enough shadows, which is considered to be illuminated.

A few dishes were already on the table, and one after another were brought out of a small room next to it, which was supposed to be the kitchen. It was a middle-aged man who was also wearing an apron who served the food, and he walked to the table, and Shen Ran could barely see it clearly.

The middle-aged woman is Xiao A's mother, so this man should be his father.

When the dishes were ready, they also sat down at the table.

At this time, someone was already moving their chopsticks, and they couldn't wait to put the dishes in the bowl in their mouths, and they also praised them from time to time.

Seeing that they were eating so happily, Shen Ran was embarrassed not to join, otherwise he would seem to be out of place.

He also picked up chopsticks and randomly picked some from the plate and put them in the bowl.

Sandwiched the dish into the bowl, and Shen Ran saw clearly what he was holding.

Two vegetarian dishes, one meat dish.

The meat dish is pork ribs, I don't know if it's sweet and sour or other flavors.

Shen Ran suddenly remembered the words on the note, "Eat pork ribs and braised chicken feet." ”

It's really a recipe preview.

After a few bites, it was sweet and sour, and it tasted really good, so he got up again and took a dish from another dish and put it in a bowl.

In the process, apart from the occasional compliment on the dishes, no one talked about anything else.

Little A's parents don't make introductions, and no one else greets them, as if they're used to eating like this.

Shen Ran was a little embarrassed at first, thinking about whether to find some topics, but seeing that everyone was devoted, he dispelled this idea.

Later, there was really no human voice at all, only the sound of chopsticks colliding with the porcelain bowl, clanging.

Everyone's chewing and swallowing sounds are getting clearer and clearer.

The atmosphere was eerie and silent.

Shen Ran looked down at his bowl, and this time it was two chicken feet that were sandwiched into the bowl.

One is more intact in shape, the other is cut off by a kitchen knife, and only two fingers are connected.

Shen Ran picked up a piece and was about to put it in his mouth.

Suddenly, he felt that something was wrong, and he stopped.

Are the claws of this chicken too thick?

What Shen Ran picked up was the two fingers that were connected.

The two fingers together are larger than a whole chicken paw next to them, and the nail cover is twice as large.

There are also lines on the knuckles......

The light was dim, but Shen Ran could still see clearly, which was the claw of a chicken, that was a human finger!
