Chapter 46: Beasts in the Dark

After eating the fried rice sent by Xiaowen, Lan Qing brushed the lunch box clean, ready to find time to return it to her.

The fried rice is really delicious, Lan Qing hasn't eaten a normal meal for a long time. A simple piece of food warmed Lan Qing's heart, and he suddenly felt that being an ordinary person was also a good choice.

Accustomed to seeing so many tragedies, Lan Qing's heart has long been filled with indifference. But as Lan Lan said, he is also a creature with feelings, he just can't cry.

Now Lan Qing has the right to cry and has returned to normal society. He is like thousands of ordinary people, a small man in a house, but he is still learning interpersonal communication.

Opening the refrigerator, Lan Qing wanted to get a bottle of beer, but after thinking about it, he closed the refrigerator door. Took out the cup and took a glass of water.

He touched the beard off his face, and finally decided to shave it. After looking for a razor for a long time, Lan Qing didn't find it, and Lan Lan bought it for him, but Lan Qing didn't grow a beard in the state of death, so it was useless. Lan Qing used it a few times when he first became a human, but then he didn't know where to throw it.

There was no way, Lan Qing had to go downstairs to see if there was anything sold in the supermarket.

Xiaowen was lying on the cash register and boredly swiping her mobile phone, and only raised her head when she saw a customer coming.

"Lan Qing, you're here."

Lan Qing gave Xiaowen's lunch box back to her, and put a smile on his face that he thought was quite gentle.

"The fried rice is delicious, thank you."

Xiaowen's face turned red again,

"If you still want to eat, you can tell me, and I'll make it for you."

"Don't bother, do you have razors in the supermarket?"

Lan Qing pointed to his beard. Xiaowen looked at Lan Qing's beard and smiled.

"I finally want to shave!"

Lan Qing nodded.

"On the third row of shelves, but not electric."

Xiaowen pointed to Lan Qing, and Lan Qing walked to the shelf to choose.

Looking at his side face, Xiaowen was a little confused. Lan Qing's face is very marked, the bridge of the nose is very high when viewed from the side, and the chin is also very good-looking, except for the beard.

Lan Qing didn't actually have any requirements for razors, he just wanted to buy one that was the same as the one Lan Lan bought for him. Just in case Lan Lan recovers his memories and comes back to find that he has lost his razor.

After searching for a long time, Lan Qing found the razor he wanted from the corner of the shelf.

"How much?"

Xiaowen didn't know what she was thinking, and she came back to her senses after Lan Qing walked up to her and asked her the price.

"Seventy-five."

Lan Qing took out the neat stack of money from his pocket and counted them one by one. At the end of the count, his brows furrowed.

Xiaowen wanted to laugh, but she didn't dare. In the end, she helped Lan Qing count the money.

"Why don't you use money? Can't count? ”

Lan Qing shook his head,

"Do you believe me when I say I haven't used this?"

Xiaowen gave him a blank look, how can anyone not use money. The child is okay to say, the fact that he has not used money like Lan Qing only proves that he is a fool.

Ignoring Lan Qing's jokes, Xiaowen gave Lan Qing the sorted money, and Lan Qing smiled at her again.

In fact, Lan Qing's smile was very stiff, but those eyes were bright, which made people feel quite comfortable.

Lan Qing left the supermarket with her things, and Xiaowen was looking forward to seeing him shave. The smell of smoke on Lan Qing's body was much less, replaced by the refreshing scent of shower gel.

Back at home, Lan Qing washed her face, and the beard she had raised for half a year was finally about to leave her. Seeing her familiar face again, Lan Qing was full of emotion.

The whole face has lost a lot of weight and looks a little malnourished. The eye sockets are slightly sunken, no wonder they look decadent. The only thing that can still be seen on the whole face is the eyes, which have some brilliance.

"Maybe that's what ordinary people see......"

Lan Qing muttered in her mouth, picked up the scissors and trimmed her hair, and the whole person finally looked much refreshed, at least like a person.

A few sparrows fell on the windowsill, chirping.

"Welcome back, my old friend."

Looking at herself in the mirror, Lan Qing laughed.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Li Wan got off work, and as a trainee police officer, even if she participated in the operation, she had very few jobs to be exposed to. When it's time, you have to leave work.

Sighing, Li Wan went to the supermarket again to buy bread.

"Officer Li, there are new dumplings in the supermarket, buy some and cook them at home."

Xiaowen watched Li Wan walk to the bread shelf again, and hurriedly said something to her.

Li Wan stood in front of the shelves for a while before going to the freezer and taking out a bag of quick-frozen dumplings.

"To boil dumplings, boil the water first......"

Xiaowen was about to teach Li Wan how to cook dumplings, but Li Wan flicked at her head.

"I can cook......"

Li Wan rolled her eyes, and Xiaowen scratched her head in disdain.

"I see you've been eating bread and thought you couldn't cook...... But Officer Li, you don't seem to be happy today. ”

With a bitter gourd face, Li Wan didn't look happy no matter how she looked at it. Sighing, Li Wan took the pack of chewing gum from the cash register,

"The team leader asked me to commute to and from work on time......"

"Isn't that good?"

"What's that...... If this rapist is not caught, I will not be able to eat well for a day. ”

Xiaowen took a lollipop from her hand and handed it to Li Wan.

"Eat some sugar, don't be so bitter."

Li Wan touched Xiaowen's head,

"Just your sweetest ......"

Holding the dumplings, Li Wan walked out of the supermarket, the sky was getting dark, and the afterglow of the setting sun was scattered on the road of Second Street. People who get off work are in a hurry, and they are all ready to go home for dinner with tired and expectant hearts, not knowing what delicious food the family will make for them today.

Li Wan tore open the lollipop's package and threw the candy into her mouth. The sweet taste seeped into her mouth, and she was in a slightly better mood.

I don't know if the second street will be calm tonight, and whether the second street will be calm in the future.

Lan Qing was still smoking on the balcony, and he saw Li Wan coming out of the supermarket and wanted to say hello to her, only to find that he was on the sixth floor. His eyesight is good, but Lai Wan may not.

Although he became a human, Lan Qing's vision and hearing were still preserved, and he could see and hear far away.

He could look closer at the sunset by the window, the warm sunlight shining on his face, gentle and moving.

But there is a place in Li Wan's heart that he can't see through, just like he can't see behind the sun......

Li Wan returned home, changed her clothes and prepared to cook dumplings. The sky had completely darkened, and tonight the night sky had no moon or stars, only a deep black.

Although the sparrow is small and has all the organs, although she has not cooked for a long time, Li Wan's kitchen is still very well equipped.

"How long do you have to cook dumplings?"

Li Wan scratched her head in embarrassment,

"I wouldn't have interrupted Xiaowen if I had known......"

There is no way, Li Wan's dumplings can only be cooked by their own feelings. But fortunately, the dumplings are cooked. Li Wan didn't want to take a leave of absence because she had a bad stomach.

Eating steaming dumplings, Li Wan was a little sad. She remembered that Zhang Jin also likes to eat dumplings, obviously a beauty who is at the forefront of fashion, but she loves Chinese food very much.

Thinking of this, Li Wan's heart tugged again, she didn't know if Zhang Jin's mental condition could be recovered, and she didn't know where Tang Zhen was now.

Accidentally, Li Wan bit her tongue, and her tears fell from the pain.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When night falls, it signals the end of the day and the beginning of tomorrow.

Tang Zhen stood under the old tree on the side of the road, staring at his prey. Even if he was surrounded by police, he was not afraid. Because he already has the privilege of being noble, enough for him to escape from thousands of pursuits.

The whole tree was bare, and although it had sprouted, the split branches still resembled the devil's claws under the light of the street lamp.

There were not many pedestrians on the road anymore, and Tang Zhen stared at a girl quietly.

The girl's dress was very plain, with a white T-shirt and jeans, but this dress fascinated Tang Zhen. In the past, he didn't like such simple girls, he liked those who were dressed coquettishly and flamboyantly. But looking at the back of this young girl, Tang Zhen's heart had an impulse.

The cans casually discarded by pedestrians on the road are rolled everywhere by the wind, and the treetops are not quiet, and the wind shuttles between the fingertips to bring a strange sound.

The girl in front is walking faster and faster, and the man in the back is also chasing after her. The girl was crying profusely, and now she just wanted to get home quickly. Seeing that there are fewer and fewer people in front of me, the lights are getting dimer and dimer.

The people behind are about to catch up!

One-step...... Two-step ......

"Help...... Woo......"

Tang Zhen hugged the unconscious girl, this young girl exuded a wonderful aroma, which made Tang Zhen's saliva flow uncontrollably.

He buried his head in the girl's chest and greedily inhaled the breath of the young man. What is surging in the blood of this youth is the vitality that those rouge vulgar fans do not have.

Tang Zhen was obsessed, and he felt that this decision was the right one.

He gagged the girl and woke her up. Tang Zhen didn't rush into action, he liked to see the helpless expressions of those women, as well as the looks they looked at when they wept. The feeling of conquest intoxicated him.

"Uh......h Woohoo......"

The girl's tears kept flowing, and Tang Zhen kept laughing, and those devilish eyes stared at the girl's tears carefully. Those crystal tears are incomparably precious.

Tang Zhen bit the girl's neck and greedily licked the blood flowing from her neck. That feeling was really wonderful, Tang Zhen tasted it and closed his eyes.

Slowly stripping the girl of her clothes, he looked at the moving body, the beast in the body kept roaring, just to taste the delicious meal.

"You're so pretty, beautiful girl."

The moon came out, and the wind blew away the clouds that obscured the moon. The gentle moonlight shone down and shone on Xiaowen's corpse.

She was unclothed, and her eyes were wide, but those eyes no longer had the color of life.

She hasn't grown up, she hasn't been in a relationship, she hasn't kissed a boy's face yet.

She hadn't seen Lan Qing shaved yet......

The moonlight was very moving, and the silver-gray light spread on the ground, like a snowfall.

Unfortunately, the light did not shine into the depths of the street, and the beast in the darkness remained restless.
