Chapter II

"Take two slices and go straight to your room to sleep."

Although Zhou Xi didn't say a word on the way back, she actually knew very well in her heart that Xu Wen, who was currently frightened, could not be comforted, so as not to have an unnecessary rampage. Seeing Xu Wen return to the room, she breathed a sigh of relief to alleviate the fright that had not yet reacted. Lying on the couch, I felt a little bit of a very practical sense of security.

Across the living room, there is a balcony that connects to your own room. Xu Wen, who was not used to the big room, took the initiative to move into the guest room on the day he moved in. Looking at Andong City from the 30th floor, there is still a unique flavor. But because of the mountain ash, this city, which was supposed to be covered by the summer sun, turned into an oppressive pale yellow. Zhou Xi pulled up the skirt that tightly wrapped her legs, squatted down and watched the entire balcony completely covered with dust, and shook her head helplessly and sighed that the place she had just cleaned was dirty again......

"Is anyone home?"

With a hurried knock on the door, Zhou Xi hurriedly opened the door. What caught his eye was the courier, who handed the thick cardboard box in his hand to Zhou Xi with a professional smile and respectfully. Zhou Xi was about to take over the courier, only to see that the courier's body was also covered with the falling mountain ash, and there were very obvious abrasion marks on the back of his right hand.

"I just fell on the way here." The little brother seemed to notice what Zhou Xi observed, and the honest smile was still on his face and hurriedly explained.

"How can this work?" Zhou Xi hurriedly put down the huge cardboard box in his hand, and said loudly as he walked to the living room: "You wait for me, your wound is easy to get infected if you don't clean it, and it's ...... outside."

didn't wait for Zhou Xi to finish speaking, only to hear a 'pounce', and something very heavy fell on the ground. Zhou Xi raised his head violently, and the courier who was standing at the door unharmed a second ago was already lying in the corridor at the door. Before Zhou Xi could react, his feet, which were still at the door, suddenly trembled, and the gray trousers slowly seeped out of the water stains. The legs began to twitch, and the sound of the floor and bones hitting echoed throughout the living room.

"You...... You okay? ”

As soon as Zhou Xi's words fell, the courier who was still twitching suddenly stopped moving and slowly sat up. The pale and bloodless hands clung to the door frame, and the whole person seemed to be helped up, supporting his weak legs and standing up. Zhou Xi's mind exploded, the suffocating tranquility, involuntarily shivered, and goosebumps appeared all over his body.

I saw the courier take a step and walk to the door. His hair fell to the ground with his movements, and his blood-red eyes seemed to be staring at Zhou Xi. In an instant, he opened his closed lips, and a large mouthful of bright red blood fell down his chin to the floor like a waterfall.

A scream suddenly came from far to near in the corridor, and the shrill female voice instantly pulled Zhou Xi, who was stunned, back to reality. Turning around and running to the kitchen, he quickly closed the glass door and locked it. Zhou Xi raised her head, and the courier had already rushed in front of her, banging on the heavy glass door over and over again as if she had lost her mind. Frightened, Zhou Xi's whole body froze again and held his breath. The bright red blood had already been stained on the glass with the courier's slapping and impact, and the 'zing' sound made by the palm touching the glass made goosebumps instantly filled the entire body.

"You stop me......"

The courier and Zhou Xi looked at the place where the sound originated. A middle-aged uncle in a security uniform, next to him were three staff members in suits and leather shoes. The courier stood there for a second, and then ran like a hungry wolf to the four people standing at the door. Before they were frightened by this bloody scene, the out-of-control person had already dragged his creaking body, and the blood and footprints under his body instantly threw the uncle under him. This sudden pounce made the security guard's back hit the hard floor in an instant, and he fainted.

Looking through the bloodstained glass door, before Zhou Xi could see clearly, the three staff members at the door had already fled in a hurry. Seeing this, the courier got up from the uncle and chased in the direction of the few people who had escaped. Zhou Xi was about to open the door, only to see the unconscious uncle lying at the door shaking his body, this picture made Zhou Xi recall the time when the courier lost control a few minutes ago.

Sure enough, the uncle stopped in the rapid tremor. His legs suddenly bent and put him on the ground, and he used the soles of his feet to instantly prop up his body, accompanied by an extremely clear sound of bones, and the kneecaps seemed to have broken through their capacity, poking out of their pants and dripping blood. Zhou Xi watched this scene, and a feeling of nausea arose, and he didn't dare to swallow or spit it out from his stomach in his throat. When the uncle left the door slowly, Zhou Xi hurriedly opened the glass door, stepped on the ground that had already been dragged into a red carpet by bloodstains, and lost control for a while and sat directly on the floor, the pain of the tail vertebrae had no extra time, got up and ran to the door and hurriedly closed the door and locked it.

At this time, Zhou Xicai was completely relieved, looking at the full-length mirror hanging at the door, the tight red dress had perfectly fused with blood. The messy hair and sweat fused together and stuck tightly to the forehead. Holding his tail vertebrae and walking to the sofa, the pain was no longer able to withstand the soft sofa, and he slowly fell asleep.

When Zhou Xi opened his eyes again, everything around him was shrouded in darkness. She wanted to speak, but she couldn't get it down her throat. Zhou Xi stood up and instantly fell downward with the darkness. In the midst of the constant struggle, it seemed as if someone grabbed her hand and pulled her out of the boundless darkness.

"Uncle ......"

When Zhou Xi's immature voice shouted these two words, she found it through the reflection on the ground...... I went back to when I was eighteen years old.

"Xiao Qi, my uncle is also forced to do so."

She didn't know why, there was no one in front of her, but she could call out the word 'uncle' very accurately.

"What is the last resort......" Before Zhou Xi could ask why, an invisible force instantly pushed her back into the boundless darkness.

Zhou Xi woke up from the sofa, the tears in the corners of his eyes were gray-black, and the eyeliner that was still hanging on his eyes had already been washed away by tears. She walked to the kitchen, picked up a knife that was not too big or small, and walked into Xu Wen's room......
