didn't say goodbye to Zhou Xueqiu, let alone pack his luggage, and didn't even type the fake note to report to the counselor, Zhuo Xuan hurriedly bought a high-speed rail ticket home and embarked on the return journey.

From Tinglin City to Binhai City, even the high-speed train takes half an hour.

Zhuo Xuan sat in his seat, looking forward to it with trepidation. The view outside the window was obscured by the train entering the tunnel, and he looked at the face that appeared in the window, and the countless emotions gathered together to become more and more comical.

But he couldn't laugh anyway.

Right away! You'll be able to see your parents right away!

Even in the course of the mission to contain the beast, even during the stipulated time to investigate the cause of death, he didn't care about anything.

After getting off the high-speed rail, I took a taxi back to the community where I had grown for more than ten years. Zhuo Xuan got on the elevator nervously and came to the front of the house.

At this moment, there seemed to be a faint sound of speech coming from inside the door.

The familiar voice that had been washed by time but made him miss more and more almost made tears fall, Zhuo Xuan trembled his hands, pinched the key and inserted it, twisted it slightly, the sound of the door lock loosening sounded, he opened the door, and the crystal in his eyes finally blurred his vision.

"Dad, Mom. I am back. ”

His voice echoed through the narrow hallway, a little choked.

Inside the door, sitting in the living room is a middle-aged couple. The moment they heard the sound of the door opening and looked at Zhuo Xuan, their faces couldn't help but show a look of astonishment. Soon, however, the surprise turned into a surprise.

"My son is back!"

Wearing pink loungewear was Zhuo Xuan's mother Geng Qingshu, she couldn't hide her smile, took off Zhuo Xuan's schoolbag, welcomed him in, and chattered casually: "I told your dad that you would have to wait until the weekend to come back, but I didn't expect you to come back so soon." Tinglin City is far away......"

Zhuo Xuan cried and laughed, he wiped a handful of tears, and wanted to really laugh heartily, but he couldn't do it.

"Why is this kid still crying," Geng Qingshu said with disgust, her eyes were full of love and care, she reached out and stroked the top of Zhuo Xuan's head, "It's been a long time since I've seen it." ”

"Where have you all been?"

Zhuo Xuan's heart was filled with a huge sense of happiness, and his tears seemed to be unstoppable, and he asked with a sob.

"Don't cry, what a man is crying about, how old a person is." Putting a science magazine on the coffee table, Zhuo Xuan's father Zhuo Zhengxiang pretended to blame, but his face still showed joy that was difficult to hide.

"I'm happy." Zhuo Xuan laughed, he casually took a tissue to wipe away his tears and snot, turned his head and looked at his father Zhuo Zhengxiang, who had more gray hair, and couldn't help but feel sour in his heart.

He muttered to himself, "If you don't leave, I'll never leave you again." ”

"Nonsense, should I go to school or go." Zhuo Zhengxiang glared at Zhuo Xuan, and the lines of his slightly wrinkled face softened again, "However, let's go back to Tinglin City in a few days." ”

"Hmm!"

Zhuo Xuan nodded vigorously, he had never felt so happy.

It turns out that I used to think that the most ordinary life is what I really desire.

Even if the parents disappeared before going to college; Even if it is impossible for his parents to know that Zhuo Xuan went to college in Tinglin City...... However, it doesn't matter if it's fake.

Zhuo Xuan smiled.

As long as I can continue like this, I can do whatever I want.

--

Zhou Xueqiu shook the mouse and pressed the replay button expressionlessly.

The news that just appeared on TV was recorded into a video by netizens, and then edited into a small video and spread on the Internet. This is the carnival of the Internet information age, and Zhou Xueqiu grasped this convenience very well, and repeatedly viewed this video.

Since the mission required that the Chosen One must begin with finding out the cause of Xu Shilin's death before they could carry out the task of containing the beast, no Chosen One dared to go against this.

Zhou Xueqiu was the same, he cautiously searched for information, and found the news of Xu Shilin's death in a street brawl on the news, trying to find the suspicions.

Xu Shilin's body was found in a flower bed in the community.

It was the end of autumn, and the grass and trees in what should have been a lush flower bed withered, and in the crevices of the sparse bushes, Xu Shilin's body lay in it like an abandoned garbage bag, which shocked a resident of the community who found the scene of the murder.

In the video, the resident whose face is marked with a mosaic is being interviewed with palpitations: "...... I called the police as soon as I could! That's Dr. Xu from our community, he is usually very kind to people, I didn't expect ......"

There is no nutritious Q&A conversation.

Zhou Xueqiu leaned his body in the boss's chair, letting it rotate and shake slightly due to inertia, but his thoughts didn't know where to go.

According to the description of the video and text, after Xu Shilin's body was found, passers-by immediately called the police. Immediately afterward, the police investigated in the community and found two other bodies.

The bodies of the other two corpses showed obvious signs of corrosion, and some parts of the clothes were charred black, and the organs under the skin were also penetrated, emitting a strong stench.

As for Xu Shilin, he was pierced through his chest with a sharp weapon, and the cause of death was obvious.

"So, those idiots won't really take the initiative to kill Xu Shilin, right?" Zhou Xueqiu quickly thought of such a possibility.

Instead of passively investigating the cause of Xu Shilin's death, it is better to take the initiative and kill Xu Shilin. Then you can wait for a three-day buffer period and face the "beast" with all your heart......

But for Zhou Xueqiu, only a fool would think so.

It is impossible for tasks to appear in the same task description without being related to each other.

Therefore, he did not dare to act rashly.

Of course, he had found Xu Shilin's body in the morgue before, so it was inferred that the "Xu Shilin" he talked to with Zhuo Xuan was very likely to be a "beast".

But now that Xu Shilin is dead, this inference naturally cannot be established anymore. After all, the beast can't be killed by a few foolish Chosen ones.

However, this also happened to be in line with Zhou Xueqiu's intentions, at least saving the trouble of temptation.

"And what about the corpses that appeared in the morgue?" Zhou Xueqiu had a headache, he couldn't figure out why there were two Xu Shilin, although he tried to associate in the direction of time and space, he still didn't get any answer.

"Why don't you ask him?"

Zhou Xueqiu took out his mobile phone and dialed Zhuo Xuan's number.

"Dut...... Honk...... The user you are dialing is temporarily turned off, please dial again later......"

The prompt sound of the electronic female voice made Zhou Xueqiu frown, he pressed the phone, and he couldn't help but feel irritated in his heart.

What the hell is this guy doing at the critical moment?
