Saying goodbye to Nie Yang, the fat man and I walked out of the door of the Provincial Department of Industry and Security. Although the night has become thicker, the streets are lit up and crowded with people.

It's close to the city center, and although it's lively, it's not easy to get a car. Standing on the side of the road and waiting for a long time, there were a lot of taxis, but unfortunately there were people sitting on them, and a dazzling red light was hung up.

We didn't bother to wait any longer, and walked back. To be honest, the tragic deaths of Dongzi and He Er made both of us feel bad in our hearts, so it was rare to be silent with each other and move forward with their heads down.

There are many pedestrians on the street, some of them are relaxed, chatting and laughing with friends; Some of them looked hurried, and their faces were tired from a long day's work.

A bus drove by, and there were people in the seats who fell asleep, with crystal saliva hanging from the corners of their mouths, and energetic elementary school students carrying school bags, pulling and frolicking with each other.

A drunken man, slumped in a flower bed on the side of the road and vomited, was soon surrounded by several chengguan aunts; A couple seems to be breaking up, the man kneels on the ground, holding the woman's calf and refusing to let go, crying to death......

I can't remember how long it has been since I've walked the streets at night like I did today. Looking at these unfamiliar faces, watching a plot that is repeated almost every day, I suddenly feel a little emotional.

Some are dead, some are alive. Whether we live or die, we are not in control of our own destiny, and we cannot speculate on whether the next moment will be happy or sad.

We are observing the world, and the world is also watching us, some eyes are in the light and can see, and some are hidden in the dark, and we cannot guard against it.

However, do not be afraid, because it is useless to be afraid. What should come, will come!

By the time we walked back to Wendong Road, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening. The fat man said he was hungry and was clamoring to eat skewers. At this time, it happens to be the time when food stalls and barbecue stalls are busy.

I followed him to a barbecue stand not far from the shop, ordered a bunch of skewers, and served a case of beer for supper.

Quancheng has a nickname - the barbecue capital.

The people here are known for their love of barbecue, and the specialty of draft beer is also refreshing. Unfortunately, it's April, and it's still early for draft beer to hit the market on a large scale, and only bottles of beer are sold.

With a few bottles of beer and skewers, or the buzz of the barbecue stall, I was in a better mood and chatted with the fat man about the missing Captain Wang.

While the fat man was busy stuffing skewers into his mouth, he analyzed that this Captain Wang was a retired five monarchs, and he must have anticipated the danger a long time ago and waited for an opportunity to hide.

Besides, he has kung fu, and since he has been a soldier, his psychological quality is by no means comparable to ordinary people, so he should not worry about his life for the time being.

Actually, I have the same opinion as the fat man, but what I wonder is why Captain Wang suddenly disappeared.

It stands to reason that if he finds someone stalking and watching him, shouldn't he take the initiative to ask for help for someone who feels he is in danger? Why choose to run away?

Besides, as a former colleague, Captain Wang must have contact with Dongzi and He Er, and it is impossible for him not to know that the two have been killed.

Then the second question also comes, all three of them have my phone number, why haven't they contacted me all the time?

But it seems right to calculate the time, Dongzi doesn't say, the time when He Er was killed, I and the fat man happened to be in the treacherous world, even if I called, my phone couldn't get through.

Thinking about it, my head was messed up. Now that this case has been handled by the Secret Service, the fat man and I are outsiders, and we can't help if we want to, so we feel a little powerless. In the Secret Realm, is the promise of Dongzi about to be lost?

The fat man also seemed to think of this, buried his head in hardship, and stopped talking.

Bottle after bottle of beer poured into my stomach, and with the amount of alcohol I had, there was no problem with a case of beer, but perhaps because I was in a bad mood, I quickly became drunk and my head was dizzy.

At this moment, the phone in the trouser pocket rang, and the pleasant sound was accompanied by bursts of vibrations.

I picked up my phone drunkenly, glanced at the screen, it was an unknown number, and thought to myself, maybe it was some kind of advertising pitch, what is this, they are really dedicated.

I wanted to hang up, but in the haze, I pressed the wrong hand and clicked to answer.

"Hello? Master Sue? Su Bai? Master Su save me...... Help......"

There was an urgent shout from the receiver of the phone. The sound made me feel excited, and the alcohol was completely gone. That's right, this voice is too familiar to me, it is Captain Wang!

"Captain Wang?! You...... Where are you? What's wrong? ”

"I ...... I don't know where this is, I ...... I don't know how I ended up here...... Woowoo...... There are dead people everywhere...... Help me...... Help me......"

On the other end of the phone, Captain Wang, a middle-aged man who was originally experienced and calm, didn't know what kind of horror he had experienced, crying while talking, and spoke incoherently. I listened patiently for a long time before I got a general idea.

He said that he had been sleeping at home, but when he woke up, he found himself hanging upside down from a large tree with his head and feet on the ground.

It was a huge ancient tree, with many branches but no leaves, and it glowed black in the night. In addition to him, there were countless corpses hanging upside down in dense trees.

In the pale moonlight, he vaguely saw that these corpses had been disemboweled, and countless mosquitoes, flies, and maggots were slowly crawling and biting on them.

Some had their heads or limbs cut off, and blood flowed down their bodies, making them bloody; Some don't know how long they have been hanging here, and they have long been weathered, like a piece of old bacon, swaying back and forth in the gusty wind......

Captain Wang was scared half to death, but fortunately, after many years of work experience as a security guard, he developed the habit of putting his mobile phone in his trouser pocket to sleep, and then he found it after a trembling fumbling for a while.

Relying on instinctive reaction, he first dialed 110, but because he couldn't tell where he was, it was treated as a harassing call, and he had nothing to do about it.

On the one hand, I reassured him not to be afraid, and on the other hand, I kept guiding him to look around to see what iconic buildings there were.

Captain Wang's voice trembled, and the signal was intermittent.

He said the same thing about 110, but it was pitch black and he couldn't see anything, except for the yin wind blowing by, which made him feel that he might be on a mountain, and he had no clue at all.

Judging from the intermittent signal of his call, it is definitely not in an open area, and it is obviously unrealistic to use the method of mobile phone positioning to determine the location.

The call signal got worse and worse, and in the end, there was even only the sound of the current clutter, and the phone was quickly hung up.

That's a problem!
