Chapter 43: Bottoming Out

Faintly, Zhao Ming heard the siren, which was far away and the sound was very weak.

Further along, the sound gradually becomes clearer, and even loud human voices can be heard.

It didn't take long for Zhao Ming to see the police uniforms of Haitian and sky, the familiar cordon, and the tragic crime scene.

The car was forced to stop at the periphery, and Zhao Ming probably learned about the accident through discussions.

The truck driver drove tiredly, knocked over the guardrail and fell into the reservoir, and it is estimated that there will be more luck than luck.

Comrade traffic police are dredging vehicles, and it should not be long before order on the road can be restored.

It's hard to imagine that in the middle of the night, the development zone, which is not densely populated, is jammed into a long queue of cars.

The roadside was crowded with people, gathering a lot of people eating melons, some shaking fans, some shirtless, and some wearing pajamas.

Men, women and children, the categories are complete and very lively.

"Boss, look!"

Song Yanyan patted Zhao Ming's arm and pointed to a path under the street lamp, and at the end of the road, there was a fat man running hard.

Behind her, there was a fat golden retriever.

One man and one dog, one in front of the other, turned into a dark old alley, and completely disappeared into the darkness.

This fat man feels very familiar.

Because, like the woman who asked her today, she was wearing a leopard print one-piece dress.

"Could it be a relative of the woman?" Zhao Ming speculated.

Song Yanyan shrugged her nose and shook her head, "The breath is very close, it feels exactly the same, how do I think it's the same person." ”

"Twins, right? That woman is not dead and crippled, how can she be alive? ”

Song Yanyan opened the navigation and entered the woman's address, showing that there was indeed some distance.

She shook her head, unsure, "Maybe it's really twins, right?" ”

The car began to move slowly, and Zhao Ming restarted the car and drove towards the destination.

When passing by the scene of the accident, Zhao Ming unconsciously took a second look, and in the uniform, he saw the young policeman again.

This time, the police brother did not do an inquiry and investigation, he was holding a physical evidence bag in his hand, as if he had collected some evidence, but judging from Zhao Ming's vision, it seemed that there was nothing in the physical evidence bag.

Leaving the main road, Zhao Ming followed the navigation for more than ten minutes, and finally stopped at the entrance of a newly built community.

The location of the community is very remote, and you can't even see the street lights.

Zhao Ming and Song Yanyan got out of the car, facing the black rumbling community, and fell into confusion for a while.

The gate was closed, and the guard was unmanned.

This is an uninhabited community!

"We were deceived by her." Zhao Ming scolded secretly, and said in his heart that this woman has a lot of heart.

"Shhhh Boss, you listen. Song Yanyan stopped Zhao Ming and pointed to the small square on the right with her ear sideways.

Zhao Ming immediately held his breath and concentrated, and soon, he heard the laughter of the children.

"Hee-hee... Rhubarb is chasing me! ”

"Hahaha..."

"Sister, wait for me..."

The laughter is immature and crisp, a boy and a woman.

The sound is getting closer and closer, and the child's hurried footsteps are getting clearer and clearer.

Zhao Ming stood in place and saw a six or seven-year-old girl running out first, followed by a golden retriever. The golden retriever has a large body and is very thick, and it looks at the girl in front of it, with its mouth open, walking and stopping, and turning back three times in one step.

"Sister, wait for me!"

A small milk voice chased from behind, and the little boy ran out of breath, calling out to his sister, but his footsteps did not stop.

The little girl giggled and ran faster.

Seeing that the distance was getting farther and farther away, the little boy was so anxious that he cried, "Sister, you wait for me!" ”

The golden retriever sat on the ground, looked at the little girl in front of him, and then looked back at the little boy, humming and flicking his tail, opening his mouth, and did not go any further.

The little girl's call for the golden retriever was unanswered, so she had to go back to look for it.

When the little boy saw his sister turn around, he smiled happily and continued to run, and soon ran to the golden retriever, and the three of them met victoriously.

At this time, the little girl lifted the collar around the golden retriever's neck, waved her hand and said, "Don't play, don't play, let's go home." ”

"Okay." The little boy was obedient and followed the little girl back.

From beginning to end, they didn't look at Zhao Ming. Although, Zhao Ming was only a few steps away from them.

The two children walked straight to the gate of the community.

Surprisingly, the moment they turned around, the lights in the neighborhood lit up instantly!

In the brightly lit duty room, the doorman raised Erlang's legs, he held a newspaper in his hand, and read it very seriously.

Zhao Ming followed the sister and brother into the community, and Yanyan also followed when she saw this.

The little girl took a door out of her coat pocket and opened it, stood on tiptoe and brushed it, the door opened automatically, and they walked in together.

During the whole process, the doorman didn't look up.

When passing by the window of the duty room, Zhao Ming's eyes fell on the newspaper.

Zhao Ming is very familiar with this newspaper, the local newspaper in Nanshi, the Nanshi Evening News.

Oddly enough, this is the newspaper of five years ago.

The moment he stepped into the community, Zhao Ming was cold. Because he knew that he had jumped into a game, a game just for him.

Child, Golden Retriever, Doorman,

streetlight

Even the lights of every house,

It's all fake.

All this is an illusion.

Someone is using the illusion to tell themselves a story.

No, it's not human.

It's the one who caused the accident at the door of the clinic!

Song Yanyan saw him rubbing his arms constantly, and said with a smile, "Boss, are you afraid?" ”

Zhao Ming laughed dryly, "After all, it's the first time, no experience, nervousness is inevitable." ”

The little girl led the golden retriever and jumped forward, and the boy followed closely behind the girl.

Zhao Ming was a few steps behind them, observing the illusion around him as he walked.

It seems to feel the prying eyes,

The lights in the neighborhood were collectively extinguished.

The windows in the tall buildings have also darkened,

The neighborhood was swallowed up by darkness again.

The children were still bouncing forward, seemingly unaffected. And the well-behaved golden retriever glanced back at them.

The dark green eyes, like verdant jade, exude a cold glow in the dark and silent night.

Zhao Ming's breath stagnated, and his legs were a little weak.

This is a normal physiological reaction, and humans, like animals, have the instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. And now, the instinct of self-preservation in the body roars,

Dangerous!

Get out of here!

Dangerous!!!

......

Made!!!

Zhao Ming scolded secretly, where is this, I didn't see the main owner and acted like this, what will I do to fight with other ghosts in the future?

Taking a deep breath, Zhao Ming stubbornly walked forward.

He is an ordinary person, and it is okay to lag behind others in terms of strength, speed, defense, etc. Because I am a novice and have no experience, I can't avoid the disadvantages of the day after tomorrow.

But what about guts?

I didn't have the guts, and I lost at the beginning.

At this time, he can't retreat, and he doesn't allow himself to retreat.

Because he knows that if he doesn't push himself to a dead end, he won't bottom out.
