At the entrance of the library of Nanyin University, a young couple walked out of it, with sweet smiles on their two childish faces. The boy grabbed the girl's shoulder and pulled her into his arms, and kissed her on her smooth face.

At the foot of the library steps, Xiang Chen Liuling, who was dragging his luggage, stared at this scene blankly, and the smile on his face instantly froze.

"Do you know that girl?" The girl on the steps snuggled into the boy's arms and looked at Xiang Chen Liuling, and then looked up and asked the boy suspiciously.

The boy's eyes looking at Xiang Chen Liuling were first suspicious, then shocked and then full of panic, until the girl next to him questioned him, his eyes and face were full of disdain and indifference, and he said firmly: "I don't know." ”

"Then why does she keep staring at you?"

"Did you recognize the wrong person? Or maybe I'm so handsome! ”

The girl smiled and reached out to twist the boy's cheek, and the boy hugged the girl and walked in the other direction around Xiang Chen Liuling.

Xiang Chen Liuling seemed to have been immobilized, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

What's going on!? Obviously I wanted to surprise him! How did it turn into a fright!?

Half a year ago, the two became netizens because of a mystery novel on the Internet, and they chatted quite well. From Edgar Allan Poe to Edogawa Ranbu, from Augusta Dubin to Wise Kogoro, from Benge reasoning to socialist, etc., they simply met and hated each other, and soon became a pair of lovers.

Although it is a long-distance online relationship, through online video, voice and other exchanges, Xiang Chen Liuling feels that he already knows him very well. She was fascinated by everything he showed, his appearance, his character, his learning, his mannerisms, and his mannerisms.

Until the summer vacation, Xiang Chen Liuling vaguely noticed a feeling of "disharmony" from a photo posted by her boyfriend, and her heart went up and down. asked him if he was empathetic, but he insisted that she was too worried. However, this "sense of unease" became stronger and stronger, which contributed to her "surprise" trip.

It wasn't like she hadn't imagined that scene just now, it was one of her countless conjectures, and she had rehearsed it countless times, thinking that no matter what happened, she should be able to deal with it easily.

However, the moment she witnessed it with her own eyes, she was still stunned, all the countless lines that had been rehearsed in her mind before were frozen into ice cubes, and even the painful sunlight on her body could not melt.

Even if it's an online relationship, it's still a long-distance relationship, and it will never come true! Xiang Chen Liuling's friends reminded her more than once, but she insisted on going her own way and didn't listen to her at all. Now that I am unfortunately told by my friends, my feelings are very complicated.

She thought about catching up and asking for an understanding, but the answer and the result were already self-evident, so why bother asking for it? However, the depression, grievance, and unwillingness in my heart were like a rushing torrent that encountered a dam and kept climbing up, and finally turned into tears pouring out of my cheeks.

Why do people like to lie so much?

Isn't it fun to play with someone's feelings?

Doesn't conscience hurt?

Well, it must not hurt, otherwise you wouldn't be able to do such a thing, what a lot of questions!

I walked a long way in a trance, and the dried tears made the skin on my face tense and uncomfortable. Xiang Chen Liuling took a few hot breaths with his hands, and then covered his face and rubbed it, only then did he feel more comfortable.

A noisy sound came, Xiang Chen Liuling looked at it fixedly, and said secretly: I'll go, where is this? I had been walking numbly forward just now, and I didn't even notice where I was going, and I got lost gorgeously.

Walking along the way, I turned an intersection, and a team of cross-dressers suddenly appeared in front of me!

There's actually a make-up parade here? It's only September, and it's not long since school starts, and Halloween hasn't arrived yet!?

When Xiang Chen Liuling was in a daze, a figure more than two meters tall appeared in front of her, he was wearing a gorgeous robe, and his face was wearing a white Volto mask inlaid with gilded ornaments, and the whole outfit looked like a person at the Venice Carnival.

The man stopped to look at Xiang Chen Liuling, and suddenly bent down to her, reached out and hung a silver necklace around her neck, and whispered in her ear at the same time. Xiang Chen Liuling neither heard clearly nor understood what he was saying, and when he came back to his senses and wanted to catch up with the man and return the necklace to him, he found that the man had disappeared into the crowd.

Xiang Chen Liuling glanced down at the silver chain, the pendant was a half-finger-long cylindrical shape, densely engraved with words she couldn't understand, and there was a raised intricate pattern at the bottom, which was crossed by a magnifying glass and a pipe, and was surrounded by wild wisps of chrysanthemum, like the coat of arms of a certain family.

The pendant is hollow and can be unscrewed from the top, but there is nothing inside. It shouldn't be something of value, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't give it away so casually, would you? Anyway, I couldn't catch up, so I had to say thank you silently in my heart.

A stranger was able to give her warmth so unrequited, and the man she had always trusted didn't hesitate to give her a punch. Thinking of this, Xiang Chen Liuling suddenly felt that it was not worth it, it was not worth it!

It's not worth crying for the boy who doesn't love him! It's not worth spoiling your good mood for a heartless person!

Even if you fall out of love at this moment, you should be glad that you have seen the true face of this person and can stop the loss in time so as not to waste your precious time!

When I thought about it like this, my heart suddenly became clear, and I suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.

If you come, you will be safe, and the horizontal and vertical have come, so you have the right to travel on vacation!

After the procession left, an old side street appeared in front of them.

Ginkgo trees are planted on both sides of the street where only two cars can walk side by side, and the leaves of the ginkgo trees are slightly yellow, and the contrast with the green looks particularly fresh, and instead of the solemn feeling of autumn, there is a kind of early spring exuberant atmosphere.

The street is lined with small shops, one of which stands out with its square-framed glass doors, which looks like a drink shop owned by a gentle girl, and the coat of arms on the sign is exactly the same as the one at the bottom of the pendant.

Xiang Chen Liuling's heart moved, and he walked into the store.

As soon as you enter the store, you will feel a sense of déjà vu. Heavy, calm coffee tones, burgundy velvet curtains, and English-style high-back leather sofa chairs can make people sink into it.

On the fireplace against the wall were human skulls, daggers were tied to a pile of letters, Persian slippers were stuffed with tobacco, brown violins were placed on the side, and deer hunting hats and black cloaks hung from coat racks......

This is the dwelling place of Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes! Could it be that this shopkeeper is a mystery junkie?

On the window frame were two orange cats basking in the sun, and when they heard movement in the store, they only moved their beards, and they didn't even bother to open their eyes.

"Anyone?" Xiang Chen Liuling shouted and walked inside.

Suddenly, a dark figure popped out of the sofa chair and plunged into her arms. She was startled and relieved to see that it was a black cat. However, the liquid creature of the cat looks soft and harmless, and she can see blood with a single paw, and she doesn't dare to provoke more.

The black cat was wearing a black velvet vest with a golden coat of arms embroidered on its chest, it stared at its green eyes, stretched out its claws and hooked the pendant hanging around her neck, and suddenly turned over and jumped to the ground, screaming at Xiang Chen Liuling a few times, looking as if she was letting her follow her.

The black cat turned around step by step and led Xiang Chen Liuling through the room to the backyard, where the grass and flowers were lush and green, arranged like a patchwork garden, and the most attractive thing was a huge miniature landscape.

This landscape is vividly made, with different styles of buildings, blue bricks, cars, horse-drawn carriages, pedestrians, etc., on the streets, vivid and all-encompassing, grotesque and interesting, and staggering.

"Meow~" The black cat turned its head and shouted at Xiang Chen Liuling, and jumped towards the landscape. With the size of this black cat, you can't smash the landscape if you jump over!?

Xiang Chen Liuling exclaimed, threw down his luggage and stretched out his hand to hug the black cat, but the black cat disappeared the moment it crashed into the landscape. Before she could figure out what was going on, she felt someone push her hard behind her, and she threw herself uncontrollably into the landscape.

"Ahh Xiang Chen Liuling exclaimed in surprise and closed his eyes reflexively.

※

There was no expected collision, just the feeling that I had fallen to a shaky floor.

Xiang Chen Liuling opened his eyes and got up from the ground, looked around, and was surprised to find that he was actually on a second-hand luxury train! Judging from the surrounding situation, it was the middle of the night, the doors of the sleeper car were closed, and there was no one in the corridor except her.

What's going on!? Where did that black cat go? Looking down at the pendant on his chest, it was glistening in the night.

"Help! Kill! A woman's screams broke the slow, regular movement of the train. The door of a sleeper compartment slammed open, and a blonde woman ran out in a panic in a white pajama with lace, the corners and cuffs of her skirt stained with blood.

The conductor ran out of the rest of the carriage wearing his hat, the doors of the other compartments opened, and men and women of all colors came out sleepily and asked what had happened.

"Murder! Killed! That's her! She's the murderer! The blonde-haired woman in white who ran out first grabbed Xiang Chen Liuling and shouted with an angry look.

Seeing this, the conductor immediately controlled Xiang Chen Liuling.

"No, I'm not!" Xiang Chen Liuling didn't have time to figure out what was going on, and he couldn't take care of all his previous emotions, so he hurriedly argued.
