On the other side of the river, it is noisy and prosperous, and the lights are bright.

On this side of the river, there was a dead silence, only the dim street lamps flickering.

The occasional low bark of a stray dog is enough to prove the existence of living creatures in this place.

It was eleven o'clock in the evening, and the outskirts of the city had fallen into a deep sleep, and the darkness had completely swallowed the land, and only the dim yellow street lamps outlined the appearance of the suburbs.

The small second floors of the bungalows in the seventies and eighties were staggered together, and the piles of garbage and dripping sewage were in stark contrast to the glossy city on the other side of the river.

At this time, there was still a light in the second-floor window of an inconspicuous small second floor, and a crackling sound came out quickly.

"That's it?"

"Didn't your Chinese teacher teach you a few more words?"

"It's funny."

"Okay, okay, don't say it anymore, I already know you have cerebral palsy."

"You come along the network cable now, maybe you can get your hot ashes back, hehe^^."

After typing these words, Xia Min blacked his friend opposite.

"If it weren't for the fact that I could only send three sentences per game, would you still be able to finish this game?"

Xia Min shook his head, turned off the game, and prepared to practice base makeup and eyebrow painting.

"I just came home from work and wanted to play a few games to relax, why did I feel even more uncomfortable?"

Holding a chocolate bar in his mouth, Xia Min muttered depressedly while meticulously putting on makeup for the dolls.

"I don't look good with makeup, I think I'm not giving you makeup, you are a greasy middle-aged fat man whose wife ran away with someone else, can you know makeup? still covers the dark circles, why didn't you cuckold when the smoky makeup was invented? ”

Xia Min was imprisoned for theft when he was very young, and later heard that he died of illness in prison, and his mother was too sad because of this incident.

As a result, Xia Min's childhood was not a happy one.

The young Xia Min didn't feel that he couldn't blame himself for this, but felt that he was different from others, which led to a deep inferiority complex.

Even because of his background, it became very difficult for him to make friends.

Until the death of his grandmother in high school, Xia Min still didn't have any friends, and it was only when his grandmother held his hand in front of the hospital bed that he shed tears for the first time in so many years.

Xia Min's grades were very good, but to everyone's surprise, he only chose a junior college, and the major he chose was even more bizarre.

- Funeral science.

According to him, it was easier for him to deal with the dead.

Because there are very few people who study this major, Xia Min was hired by a large local funeral home as soon as he graduated, mainly to help the corpse make up and look good.

Xia Min thinks very simply, he goes to work every day to play games, his girlfriend follows his fate, and the whole family is not hungry for food, even if he can't get along with work one day, it's good to be a beauty blogger.

"Tut-tut, this eyebrow peak is drawn, amazing, what kind of ingenious person can draw such a perfect eyebrow peak, let me see who is so good, oops, it turned out to be me! Awesome, reward yourself with a Yasuo. ”

Xia Min looked at the silicone mask in his hand with satisfaction, which was the "canvas" he used to practice makeup, such masks were thrown everywhere, each with different makeup, different expressions, and different looks.

The ones hanging on the walls and throwing them on the floor at random seemed to be the countless people on the floor and walls who wanted to squeeze out, but only showed their faces.

Such a scene is unacceptable to anyone, but Xia Min doesn't feel weird at all.

It's just that once Xia Min brought home his girlfriend who had just confirmed a relationship, not only did the girlfriend become an ex-girlfriend, but he almost made up for her by himself.

From then on, Xia Min never brought anyone to his house again, for fear of frightening people.

Looking at the time, it was almost twelve o'clock now, Xia Min packed up his tools, first praised his serious efforts, and then decided to open the computer to play the game as a reward.

At that moment, there was a sharp knock at the door.

"Who? Knocking on the door so loudly in the middle of the night, is your house haunted? ”

Xia Min yelled dissatisfiedly outside the door.

What he could respond to was not the elegant and easy-going greeting of his familiar neighbor, but the cry of a baby.

Xia Min sensed that something was wrong, he had seen the news, and many bad people would use this method to lower the vigilance of women living alone, so as to trick the victim into opening the door in order to achieve the goal of evil.

Thinking of this, Xia Minhu's body was shocked, and he felt offended.

He casually picked up a mask and pasted it on his face, and then picked up a kitchen knife, first looked out through the cat's eye, and after confirming that there was no imaginary big man at the door, he vigilantly pushed the door open.

The corridor that was originally empty in the cat's eyes, but after Xia Min pushed the door open, a little girl with her head down and sobbing appeared.

The hallway is completely enclosed, with voice-activated lights flickering and dimly lit, with the occasional bug crashing into the bulb with a slight crackling sound.

I don't know if it's because the weather is getting cooler in late autumn or because of the river, there is a damp chill in the corridor, and Xia Min, who is wearing a coat, walks out of the warm room and can't help but shiver.

However, the weak and poor little girl is always more likely to arouse people's sympathy, Xia Min is no exception, he complained a few words about the temperature, then put down the kitchen knife in his hand, squatted down gently, and spoke gently.

"Little friend, crying so sadly, are you the only one left in your household registration book?"

The little girl's crying suddenly stopped, and her head lifted mechanically to make a strange sound.

"I... Can't find it... Family... Finish... Forehead? ”

Just when the little girl's head was fully raised, the two finally looked at each other, and the frightened screams that the little girl imagined did not appear, but what came into view was a miserable white, with an eerie smile, and the corners of the mouth hooked an incredible arc, obviously not like a human face.

The little girl was stunned for a moment, her eyes squatted in front of her, her arm was red, and the strange figure holding a kitchen knife looked at the strange expressions on the "human skin" and "human skin" all over the floor in the bright room.

"I can't find a home, then you can come to my brother's house first, and my brother will help you call the police."

Xia Min was a little helpless, and at the same time a little indignant, what is going on with this father, his own children are not optimistic.

At the same time, he was also a little strange, why such a young child wore contact lenses, and it was all black, and it was weird and scary to look at at night.

As soon as she heard that Xia Min was going to let herself into the house, the little girl waved her hand again and again: "No need brother, I... I'll go ask somewhere else, don't bother. ”

"It's not that you are polite to me, other families are sleeping, aren't you going to knock on the door now to disturb people, can you have some quality at a young age, disturbing people's dreams like killing people, do you know?"

Xia Min frowned, why are these children like this now, don't they have any public morality?

Hearing Xia Min's righteous refusal, the little girl was about to cry, she just came out to scare someone, how could she meet a pervert.

"I really don't need my brother, I... I suddenly remembered where my home was. ”

The little girl took two wary steps back, squeezing out a smile.

Xia Min's sense of responsibility told him that he couldn't just let a little girl run around outside in the middle of the night, so he stood up and walked towards the little girl.

"No, how dangerous it is in the middle of the night, I'll call your parents and ask them to pick you up."

Just as the little girl was about to say something more, a man with a backpack and a mask slowly walked up the stairs at the end of the corridor.

The moment she saw the man, the little girl was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and she exploded all of a sudden, and she couldn't care about Xia Min in front of her, and yelled at the man: "I didn't harm anyone, what are you doing here!" ”

The man didn't answer the little girl's question, but just took a small box from his backpack and threw it at the little girl.

Then, under Xia Min's surprised gaze, the box opened in mid-air, emitting a ray of light on the little girl, and then the little girl was sucked into the box.

After the man in the mask finished all this, he looked at the pale figure with a kitchen knife in his hand opposite, thought about it, took out a small box, and threw it at Xia Min.

"Smack, da."

The small box first slammed on Xia Min's head, and then fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

There was an eerie silence.

"You know what you're doing."

After a long time, Xia Min's resentful voice came.
