October 31, 1666, the fifteenth day of the ninth month of the Chen calendar, 21.32 minutes in the evening.

Location, Anji Country, Rhine City.

As a fourth-tier city, the streets of the Rhine at this time should have been crowded with people and traffic.

However, this is not the case.

Two rows of landscape trees on the street stand quietly in the air, and occasionally a gust of wind blows, and the leaves rattle, as if they are talking to the street lamps next to them, telling the magical events that have happened in the city in the past few days.

Speaking of excitement, the landscape tree will gently swing its torso and throw a few leaves off the tree, which also inadvertently reminds the people of this northern city that autumn is here and it is time to wear autumn pants.

However, this reminder was ineffective, because at this time there was not even a single figure on the street, only a few cars occasionally speeding by, rolling up the fallen leaves on the ground and dancing in the air.

The warning device of the car was pulled to the loudest, as if to warn people who did not know that it was dangerous here.

At this time, the Rhine, the magic hand of the haze has not yet had time to touch. High in the sky, a large and round moon shone down unscrupulously, and the pale yellow moonlight sprinkled all over the city and the rooftops of the Splendid Building.

The Fairview Tower is the tallest building in the Rhine, with a total of 32 floors, and from above you can overlook the entire city at night.

Opposite the Splendid Building, is the magnificent building, 28 floors, before the completion of the Splendid Building, the magnificent building is the landmark building of the Rhineland, and the most unique thing about the magnificent building is the huge display screen on it, covering almost the entire floor of the magnificent building facing the street.

At this time, an important news is playing on the display screen of the magnificent building.

I saw a beautiful female anchor said with a serious face: "According to the latest report of this station, the dangerous elements Gou Shun is still hiding in the city, and now the city's garrison has strengthened patrols, and applied for assistance from the Iron Brigade, I believe that it will not be long before the Iron Brigade will come to maintain the stability of the Rhine with the city's garrison army, and once again remind the general public that Gou Shun has special abilities and is very dangerous, everyone must be cautious when going out, and must strengthen vigilance when going out, if there is news of dangerous elements Gou Shun, Be sure to call our hotline as soon as possible, or call the security department directly. ”

Then, the beautiful female anchor disappeared, and a photo appeared on the big screen, the face in the photo was slightly immature, and her eyes were full of evasion and cowardice, and she didn't look like a dangerous person no matter how she looked.

Next to the photo, Gou Shun's profile is written: "Gou Shun, male, born in 1648, is now a senior student of Yinzhi Middle School, a native of Rhine City, without a father or mother, and was picked up in the garbage can by his grandfather who was scavenging. In the past eighteen years, this person has shown an extremely cowardly personality, is not good at words, has no friends, has a high academic performance, and has never taken the initiative to cause trouble. However, four days ago, this person suddenly erupted with great ability, injuring dozens of people, a day ago, this person was hijacking his classmate Xia Rushi, currently I don't know where to go, if all the citizens find this person, do not act without authorization, please contact this station in time, this station hotline 035X-23XXXXX. ”

The next thing to play is a video surveillance video, I saw that in the dimly lit street at night, a teenager was suddenly surrounded by dozens of people, and saw that group of people smashed the teenager with an iron rod, but the teenager suddenly hit those people into the air like a hanging, and then fell heavily to the ground.

On the roof of the Splendid Building, a teenager was staring at the big screen in a daze, only to see that the young man was seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a very old dress, with a trace of sadness on his face, and his eyes were full of indifference and loneliness.

"Gou Shun, you can't run away, go and turn yourself in." It was a girl not far from him who spoke, also seventeen or eighteen years old, but the difference was that she was dressed very fashionably.

At this moment, she was sitting on a concrete beam, her black hair like a waterfall draped in a faint layer of moonlight.

Her face was slightly pale, her eyes were full of fear, and her two slender hands were tightly clasped together.

"I'm not wrong, why should I turn myself in?" The young man said a little impatiently, yes, he is the person in the news, Gou Shun.

And this girl is Xia Rushi who was held hostage by him.

After hearing this, Xia Rushi hesitated for a moment, as if she had mustered up a lot of courage, and said, "However, you have injured a lot of people and destroyed the precept center. ”

"That's what they want to do to me, I'm being forced." Gou Shun said helplessly.

"You can't escape, they have a lot of weapons, and planes, if you turn yourself in, maybe the consequences will be a little better." Xia Rushi said while carefully observing Gou Shun's expression.

I saw Gou Shun sigh and said, "Xia Rushi, don't worry, I won't hurt you, and I can't turn myself in." ”

"Gou Shun, why are you doing this, is it because I am Zhao Chengxiang's girlfriend?" Xia Rushi asked.

"I don't know, I just know that there seems to be a voice in my body that keeps telling me, don't let you be good with Zhao Chengxiang, and dominate me to stop you."

"Zhao Chengxiang and I are truly in love, why do you want to stop us?"

"I don't know."

"Do you like me?"

"I don't know."

Actually, to say that you don't like it, it's impossible, Xia Rushi is the class flower, and she is also the dream lover of the boys in the class, but Gou Shun knows that they are not people of the same world, he was just picked up by the grandfather who scavenged the waste, from childhood to adulthood, he has suffered from poverty, cold eyes and ridicule, no one looks down on him, and no one wants to be friends with him, and Xia Rushi is like a fairy daughter who has fallen into the mortal world, with a noble temperament and elegant manners, so even if he likes it, he has no thoughts. Even if Xia Rushi was sitting in front of him in the class, he didn't take the initiative to say a word to her.

It was Xia Rushi, who stood up to speak for him several times when his classmates laughed at him, which really touched his humble heart.

It's just that when he was young, he didn't know if this kind of touching was called liking.

"Then why do you know martial arts?"

"I don't know, it seems like it will happen that day."

"And what are you going to do next?"

"I don't know."

Xia Rushi didn't speak, slowly raised her head and looked at the moon in the sky.

And Gou Shun didn't speak, and strange things have appeared in front of his eyes these days.

Four days ago, during evening self-study.

That day, Xia Rushi's tablemate Chen Bo asked for leave, and there was no teacher sitting in the classroom during the evening self-study, Xia Rushi's boyfriend Zhao Chengxiang sat next to Xia Rushi without authorization, and Gou Shun looked at Zhao Chengxiang with some jealousy in his heart.

"Rushi, didn't you say that your parents went on a business trip?" Zhao Chengxiang suddenly asked.

"yes, what's wrong?"

"And who will stay with you? Alone? ”

"yes, I'm that old."

"Do you want me to be your companion?" Zhao Chengxiang said, with a slightly obscene smile on his face.

"You want to be beautiful."

"Rushi, have you ever heard the story of the Midnight Curse?"

"No, what's that?" Xia Rushi asked curiously.

"It's a movie, I'll tell you about it." Zhao Chengxiang said and spoke slowly.

It was a ghost story, and Gou Shun behind her listened to the chill on her back, not to mention Xia Rushi, only to see her covering her ears tightly with both hands, and said, "Cheng Xiang, don't say it." ”

However, Zhao Chengxiang did not stop, but continued to talk with relish.

The voice they said was not high, but Gou Shun didn't know why, he could hear it clearly, and in that class, Gou Shun, who had always studied hard, didn't even write a word, just listened to the two of them talking.

Jingle bell bell bell.

It wasn't until the bell of school remembered that Zhao Chengxiang stopped the gloomy narration, only to see him stand up, smile at Xia Rushi and say, "Rushi, then I'll go, I wish you a good night." ”

Seeing this, Xia Rushi grabbed Zhao Chengxiang and said, "Cheng Xiang, I'm afraid!" ”

Zhao Chengxiang listened to it and said with a smile: "You are so old, what are you afraid of?" ”

"Cheng Xiang, is it okay for you to send me home, after listening to your story, I always feel that there is someone behind me, as if there are eyes staring at me." Xia Rushi said pitifully.

I saw Zhao Chengxiang say earnestly: "Like poetry, we are all good young people of modernism, we must learn to arm ourselves with science, in this world, where are there any ghosts, let me tell you, those male ghosts, female ghosts, headless ghosts, unjust ghosts or something, are all lies, you can't see them." ”

"Sister, you boldly move forward, go forward, don't look back~" Zhao Chengxiang said, and even sang.

However, after listening to Zhao Chengxiang's words, Xia Rushi seemed to be even more scared, only to see her pulling Zhao Chengxiang's arm, shaking and saying, "Cheng Xiang, please, you can send it to me, okay?" ”

Zhao Chengxiang put on an embarrassed expression, thought for a moment, and said, "Okay, then I'll be reluctant to make it difficult and be a flower messenger, this is what you asked me to send." ”

The two of them packed up their things and walked out of the classroom.

Yinzhi High School is a middle school in the city, with a combination of boarding and running, and students in the suburbs and counties in the distance live in the dormitory, while most of the students in the city run to school, that is, go home to eat and sleep, and these students generally ride bicycles.

Gou Shun is from a rural area in a suburban county, so he naturally lives in the school, while Zhao Chengxiang and Xia Rushi are both in the city and run schools.

Gou Shun didn't know why, he actually followed the two out of the classroom, watching the two take out a bicycle from the carport, Zhao Chengxiang stepped onto the bicycle in one step, and Xia Rushi sat on the back seat, gently hugged Zhao Chengxiang's waist, and the two walked away with a smile.

Gotta stop him, gotta stop him.

Suddenly, the voice began to repeat itself in Gou Shun's mind, as if someone was whispering in his ear.

I saw Gou Shun running like crazy on the street at night with his bicycle, but he didn't feel tired at all.

The bicycle stopped at the entrance of a slightly upscale residential area, Zhao Chengxiang handed the bicycle in his hand to Xia Rushi, and Gou Shun hid in a tree shadow not far away.

"Cheng Xiang, thank you!" Xia Rushi looked at Zhao Chengxiang and said with a smile.

However, Zhao Chengxiang did not speak, but stood in place blankly, staring directly behind Xia Rushi with his eyes, and a frightened expression gradually appeared on his face.

"What's wrong? Cheng Xiang. Xia Rushi asked suspiciously.

"Such as ...... Like poetry, you ...... Look at what's behind you? Zhao Chengxiang stammered.

"Ah, what? What the? Xia Rushi shouted, threw away the bicycle in her hand, and slammed into Zhao Chengxiang's arms.

Zhao Chengxiang took advantage of the situation to hold Xia Rushi in his arms, with a smug smile on his face.

"What is it?" Xia Rushi asked with her eyes closed.

"Nothing, amusing you." Zhao Chengxiang said with a laugh.

Xia Rushi listened, slowly turned her face back, and found that there was really nothing, so she stretched out her fist, hammered Zhao Chengxiang twice on the chest, and got out of his arms.

"You're scared the hell out of me." Xia Rushi said, rubbing the back of her hand on her eyes a few times, it seems that she was really scared.

"Then I'm leaving."

"Oh. Go back and give me a call. Xia Rushi said, picking up the bicycle on the ground.

I saw Zhao Chengxiang turn around and take two steps, then turned around and shouted, "Like a poem!" ”

"What's wrong?" Xia Rushi also turned around and asked.

"When you're alone at night, don't look back, don't go to the bathroom, and don't look in the mirror." Zhao Chengxiang said, with a smile on his face.

Xia Rushi listened, only to feel that someone was walking towards her behind her, and in a hurry, she threw away the bicycle in her hand again and ran to Zhao Chengxiang's side.

"Cheng Xiang, you can accompany me again!" Xia Rushi grabbed Zhao Chengxiang's hand and said.

After hearing this, Zhao Chengxiang showed an embarrassed expression on his face, and said: "It's not too early, I'm afraid that I will go back late, and the family won't leave the door for me." ”

"But I'm so scared!"

"Well, who made you my dear girlfriend!" Zhao Chengxiang said, picked up the bicycle on the ground, and walked into the community with Xia Rushi.

Gotta stop him, gotta stop him.

The voice rang in Gou Shun's ears again, repeating in his mind.
